A Loss of 1.2 Billion Overnight
After a difficult and arduous conversation, Ma Feifei finally became convinced that Yun Qingyang had indeed lost her memory.
He wasn't hit by any blows, nor was his brain damaged by a brick. His IQ is still the same low, and he still speaks the same coldly, but he just has amnesia! It's inexplicable.
Of course, Yun Qingyang eventually let Ma Feifei go and naturally went back to her room to Rest...
Ma Feifei sat in a rocking chair, squinting at Yun Qingyang's room. He felt that something was off about this female dragon.
He didn't recognize himself, yet he could pinpoint the room he had once lived in; he claimed he wanted to kill him, but Ma Feifei didn't sense the slightest bit of killing intent; most importantly, Yun Qingyang seemed to have no intention of leaving.
It seems like he knows everything except Ma Feifei; it's like your childhood friend coming to question you about who you are, but remembers everything about you except for who you are. He knows where you live, what your last name is, what your favorite food is...
"That's really strange." Ma Feifei shook his head. This was the first time he'd encountered such a situation; even in TV dramas, no one portrays it like this! If you're going to have amnesia, just say so clearly, instead of making it all so mysterious. Is it selective amnesia?
Besides Yun Qingyang's inexplicable amnesia, there was another thing that puzzled Ma Feifei: he felt that the Power of Faith of his own will was much purer and stronger than before; although he was still at the Spirit Emperor Ninth Stage realm, he felt that he could unleash the power of the Spirit Saint Third Stage realm.
"It's time to learn some advanced martial arts techniques to show off and attract some female admirers." Thinking this, Ma Feifei took out his spatial bag, ready to see if he had secretly stolen any martial arts techniques from Yun Qingyang's spatial ring.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Ma Feifei stared at the spatial bag, stunned.
Where are my Spirit Crystal?
Before leaving, Gongsun Qiong gave Ma Feifei 1.2 billion Spirit Crystal. After deducting the 220 million spent on feeding Mew and Yun Qingyang, Ma Feifei still had about 1 billion left.
Two days ago, Ma Feifei sold two thousand Elementary Advancement Pill and received a dividend of two hundred million Spirit Crystal. He still has one and a half billion Spirit Crystal left.
Because the system is currently undergoing an upgrade, he didn't use his 1.2 billion Spirit Crystal to buy Elementary Advancement Pill; instead, he kept them all in his spatial bag.
But... now it's all gone!
"Damn it, where are the Spirit Crystal?!" Ma Feifei cried out in disbelief.
This was all of Ma Feifei's hard-earned savings, and it was also the working capital for purchasing the Elementary Advancement Pill. Now that these Spirit Crystal were gone, the first thing that would happen was that the Elementary Advancement Pill could no longer be sold to the public.
Only two thousand Elementary Advancement Pill were sold. Based on the ratio of Pokémon in Dubian Town, five thousand Elementary Advancement Pill are needed to meet market demand.
Three thousand more needed!
Without Spirit Crystal, he couldn't buy Elementary Advancement Pill from the system, let alone sell them to others.
Of course, the most crucial thing is this huge sum of money, a full 1.2 billion Spirit Crystal, which has disappeared!
"System, come out and explain yourself! What does this mean? Are you trying to kill me?" Ma Feifei tried to call the system into his mind, but found that he couldn't get in at all. He could only ask himself from the outside.
But the system paid no heed to him. No matter how much Ma Feifei cursed at it, it remained unmoved. So, the only sounds in the backyard, besides the rustling of the maple trees in the cool breeze, were Ma Feifei's incessant, hoarse voice.
Residence No. 36
This is a mansion that Yuwen Hongdu just bought at a high price today. Nowadays in Dubian Town, anyone who considers themselves to be of high status will choose to buy one of these eighty-eight mansions to show off.
As the prime minister of the Yan State, Yuwen Hongdu naturally cared about his reputation; therefore, even though the price was much higher, he still bought the mansion.
Anyway, he is the Prime Yan State, in charge of all internal affairs of the entire Yan State, so he has no worries about spending Spirit Crystal.
However, Yuwen Hongdu's expression was not good. He sat on the Grand Tutor Chair in the hall with a gloomy face, which made the steward standing beside Yuwen Hongdu tremble with fear. Sweat poured down his face, but he dared not reach out to wipe it.
Why was he so unhappy? It was because the banquet he hosted at Yihong Tower tonight didn't yield the results he wanted. Not only did Zhang Yunji bring his wife and sister to the banquet, but the entire event consisted of discussions about food and strange tales, leaving Yuwen Hongdu with absolutely no chance to interject.
Just as Yuwen Hongdu was about to Sheer Force reveal his purpose, Zhang Yunji and the others took their leave...
As the Yan State, Yuwen Hongdu was well aware of Zhang Yunji's meaning; Zhang Yunji was telling Yuwen Hongdu that he could invite him to dinner, but he shouldn't even think about asking for his help.
Everyone here is intelligent. The Yan State traveled thousands of miles to Dubian Town and then sought out the employees of the Mysterious Bookstore. Even a fool could figure out what Yuwen Hongdu was after.
Yuwen Hongdu expected Zhang Yunji to be so disrespectful.
He was the Yan State! In terms of status, he was the third most powerful person in Yan State; in terms of real power, he was second only to the King Yan, and even the Sage Yan couldn't compare to him.
He was ignored by a mere youth, and that alone was enough for Yuwen Hongdu to find unacceptable.
"Does the Zhang Clan own two Spirit Crystal Vein Mine in the Youyun Mountain Range?" Yuwen Hongdu asked casually.
Upon hearing this, the steward understood his master's meaning: this was to teach the Zhang Clan a lesson! The Youyun Mountain Range, like the Nine Heavens Mountain, are one of the five great adventure destinations of the Azure Dragon.
Unlike the Nine Heavens Mountain, the Youyun Mountain Range are mostly mountainous, so they occasionally produce some Spirit Crystal Vein Mine. In addition, the five major adventure areas of the Azure Dragon are not under the jurisdiction of the five kingdoms. Once you find a Spirit Crystal Vein Mine in the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine Youyun Mountain Range, as long as you can protect it, it will belong to you.
"Yes, sir, there are two Spirit Crystal Vein Mine, but the Prince of King Yan's mother also has a stake in them," the steward whispered a reminder.
The "King of King Yan" here naturally refers to the Crown Prince, King Yan's mother is the current Empress Dowager Yan.
Although the Youyun Mountain Range are not under the jurisdiction of the five kingdoms, they are located within the territory of the Yan State. Outsiders who mine Spirit Crystal Vein Mine in the Youyun Mountain Range will naturally need to cooperate with powerful figures in the Yan State to increase the security of the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine.
"Hmph!" Yuwen Hongdu snorted coldly, seemingly not taking the King Yan seriously; however, he did not mention the matter again and fell silent.
The butler couldn't guess what the master was thinking, so he could only stand quietly to the side and wait.
After a long silence, Yuwen Hongdu sighed softly, got up and left, leaving behind a single sentence.
"Go buy a special phone number for the Bookstore on the day it's open."
"Yes, sir."
