Stelle: I Really Am a Genius

Stelle looked at Herta, and suddenly, inspiration struck. She seemed to have a way to get Stellar Jade!

Stelle chuckled and took out the Coin of Destiny.

"Herta, take a look at this thing for me."

Herta looked at the Coin of Destiny with utter disdain.

"Isn't it just a coin? What's so special about it?"

The corners of Stelle's lips rose as she put her hands on her hips.

"Of course it's special! This is the Coin of Destiny. Toss it into the air.

If it lands heads-up, you recover health. If it lands tails-up, you get struck by lightning. So? Isn't it amazing?"

Herta became somewhat interested upon hearing that.

Herta picked up the Coin of Destiny and tossed it into the air.

As Stelle watched the coin fly upward, delight filled her heart. The plan had succeeded! Hehe, no matter the outcome, as long as the Coin of Destiny was real, she could extort Herta for a sum and make her give her some Stellar Jade as compensation.

The Coin of Destiny spun and danced through the air before finally falling to the ground.

Stelle craned her neck to see the result.

Tails!

The next second, the Herta Puppet suddenly let out a cry, as though it had suffered a heavy blow.

Stelle scratched her head in confusion as she looked at the Herta Puppet before her.

Other than making a sound, the Herta Puppet did not move at all.

"What's wrong, Herta?"

What Stelle did not know was that Herta's real body had suddenly been struck by lightning the moment the Coin of Destiny landed.

Fortunately, she had Erudition's blessing, so she was not seriously injured.

Herta was now thoroughly fascinated by the Coin of Destiny. This thing could actually lock onto her real body and attack it directly.

Herta's real body hurriedly controlled the puppet to pick up the Coin of Destiny from the ground.

The instant the Herta Puppet touched the Coin of Destiny, it turned into dust and vanished.

"Interesting. This thing is so interesting! Stelle, where did you get it? Do you have any more?"

Stelle shook her head.

"No. And that was my only one. Pay up!"

Stelle righteously held out her right hand and demanded compensation.

Herta said nothing. A few seconds later, Stelle's phone chimed with a notification.

Company Credit received: 100,000 Credits!

Stelle looked at the extra 100,000 Credits on her phone with great satisfaction.

She would use part of it to buy some Stellar Jade from people, then go find Ye Yun and buy the other two items as well. Hehe.

After buying them, I'll still have plenty of Credits left. Hehe, I really am a genius.

Having received the money, Stelle no longer wanted to waste time with Herta.

"Um, Herta, I have something to do today, so I won't test the Simulated Universe for now."

What Stelle had not expected was for Herta to agree immediately.

The moment Stelle demanded compensation, Herta had already given up on having her test the Simulated Universe today.

She had paid the compensation so readily because she wanted Stelle to reveal the person who had sold her the Coin of Destiny.

Without a doubt, anyone capable of selling something like the Coin of Destiny would never have only one product.

Stelle would definitely go back to that merchant after getting the money. All Herta needed to do was keep a close watch on Stelle.

"Go on. I'm not in the mood for testing today either. We'll talk tomorrow."

With that, the Herta Puppet went offline and stood motionless where it was.

Seeing this, Stelle raised an eyebrow and left Herta's office.

Along the way, Stelle asked everyone she met whether they had any Stellar Jade.

And would you look at that—she really did manage to trade for quite a bit of Stellar Jade this way.

She was willing to pay 500 Credits for a piece of Stellar Jade. To many people, Stellar Jade was just a pretty stone, so why wouldn't they exchange it for 500 Credits?

After asking around the Master Control Zone, Stelle had gained twenty pieces of Stellar Jade in her bag.

Just as Stelle was about to look for Ye Yun, a voice sounded behind her.

"Stelle, what are you doing here?"

Stelle turned around and found that it was March 7th.

"March, I'm trading for Stellar Jade. By the way, do you have any? I'm willing to pay 500 Credits for each one."

March 7th looked at Stelle suspiciously. What was Stelle up to this time?

"I do. Why? What do you need them for? You're even spending money to collect them."

Stelle looked around, and after seeing that there was no one but herself and March 7th, she wore a mysterious smile and leaned close to March 7th.

"Of course they have a very important use~"

March 7th looked at Stelle, who was right in front of her.

"What important use? Is there something fun going on? Tell me!"

Stelle chuckled and whispered into March 7th's ear.

"I'll tell you."

March 7th reacted with surprise after surprise, crying out from time to time.

"This sounds fun! Stelle, I want to buy things too. Take me with you!"

Stelle lifted her chin.

"Let's go, let's go. Keep up."

Stelle led March 7th toward the location Ye Yun had sent her.

At that moment, Ye Yun was taking a stroll in the small garden beside the Master Control Zone.

It had to be said that Asta truly deserved to be called the young lady of the Star Peace Company. Even building such a small garden must have cost a fortune.

The garden was filled with countless flowers in brilliant colors and all manner of shapes.

Before long, Stelle arrived there with March 7th.

When Stelle spotted Ye Yun, she grabbed March 7th and quickened her pace into a jog.

Seeing the two of them, Ye Yun smiled and greeted them.

"Stelle! Over here."

Stelle and March 7th came closer.

Stelle glanced around Ye Yun's side, and March 7th asked curiously.

"Stelle, what are you looking at?"

Stelle replied when she heard that.

"I'm looking for that scale. Quick, Ye Yun, take out your scale. I want to exchange for some Star Coins."

Ye Yun smiled and took out the scale.

"Stelle, you brought a friend too? Introduce us."

Only then did Stelle realize, after Ye Yun's reminder, that she had not introduced March 7th and Ye Yun to each other.

"Ye Yun, she's my best friend, March 7th, a Nameless from the Express Crew."

"March, this is Ye Yun. He's the merchant I told you about."

After saying that, Stelle impatiently placed all twenty pieces of Stellar Jade from her bag onto one side of the scale.

Soon, the Stellar Jade vanished without a trace, while twenty 100-denomination Star Coins appeared on the other side.

Stelle happily picked up the 2,000 Star Coins, dipped her fingers in a little water from the Automatic Sprinkler beside her, and began counting them. This feeling of counting money was just too wonderful!

March 7th curiously looked at the Star Coins in Stelle's hands.

"Stelle, is this the Star Coin you told me about?"

Stelle nodded.

"That's right, March. Hurry up and exchange yours too. Once you do, you can buy things from Ye Yun."

Hearing that, March 7th copied Stelle and placed the ten pieces of Stellar Jade she had on one end of the scale.

Soon, ten 100-denomination Star Coins appeared on the other side.

After taking them down, March 7th examined them one by one.

Seeing this, Ye Yun smiled and took out his phone, handing it to the two of them.

"My shop hasn't opened yet, so conditions are a bit rough. Just use my phone to take a look. Everything listed on it is something I sell."

Ye Yun had thought for a long time but could not come up with a good way to rent a carriage from the Express Crew.

So, he spent some time recording the items in the shop on his phone.

The names, prices, and effects were all recorded clearly, making it easy for buyers to understand each item's properties at a glance.

In that short time, Ye Yun had copied down more than five hundred products.
