Chapter 187: Chapter 186: Are They Getting a Bit Carried Away?

The incident was over, and although Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao complained verbally, they actually gained something from it.

The two weeks of military competition and internship with the First Army Corps saw their strength improve as much as it had in the past year, even if it was a bit exhausting.

Fei Wenxing said, feeling parched, took a big gulp of juice, and instantly uttered a surprised "huh"?

"This juice seems to taste better, it’s sweeter."

"Really?" Cheng Yao also took a sip and then said, "It is indeed, has Drunken Star River changed owners?"

Xu An, with his clear and melodious voice, explained, "We’ve changed our business partner. From now on, Drunken Star River will be cooperating with our farm. This orange juice is made from oranges from our farm, and we will be introducing even more new products in the future."

"Ah! That’s the case, then I’ll have to come here often in the future," Fei Wenxing stated.

Cheng Yao, however, thought further ahead than Fei Wenxing, his gaze fixed on Xu An, "Xu An, brother, in wealth and honor do not forget each other! Is there a super VVVIP card? I want to reserve one in advance."

Xu An’s mouth twitched, and clearing his throat, he said, "There isn’t one at the moment."

"We’re not involved in the promotions, but the room on the third floor here and the one next door are specifically reserved for my sister and me. You guys can come to mine whenever you want without a reservation, and you’ll get priority purchasing rights for some of the dishes."

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao each patted Xu An on the shoulder, moved, "Good brother!"

Qu Tong hadn’t expected Xu An to have sorted out these things with Ke Jun even while he was still doing his internship.

Then again, when it came to applying for funds from Xiang Bin, he hadn’t involved her afterwards.

The group swept aside the unpleasantness of before and happily chatted away again, discussing their gains from this trip and their future plans.

Fei Wenxing originally proposed drinking alcohol, but was informed that Drunken Star River’s wine was in the process of formula improvement, and only juice was available for now.

After chatting for a while, they all went back, leaving Qu Tong to be invited by the two elderly people to the kitchen to instruct in cooking.

Xu An stayed behind to wait for Qu Tong, and after she was done instructing, they walked back together.

As they walked, Xu An suddenly stopped and said to Qu Tong, "Sister, thank you."

The clear and pleasant voice of the young man was filled with his distinctive perseverance and seriousness, as his gaze was particularly firm.

Qu Tong turned her head and smiled, "Shouldn’t I be the one thanking you?"

Xu An, looking at Qu Tong’s increasingly vibrant and confident smile, felt as if he was revisiting a sensation from years past.

In half a year, his sister had changed a lot.

But, this was a good thing; even he had gone through many changes himself, and he liked his current state.

"No, not that."

Xu An shook his head, his gaze slightly distracted as he reminisced, "I used one of the Void Crystal Stones you gave me, and I definitely noticed a difference during the internship training, but I haven’t had it tested yet."

Qu Tong wasn’t surprised and said, "Doesn’t the school have a testing device? Just go test it when we’re back."

Xu An, of course, knew this, but...

Seeing Xu An hesitant to speak, Qu Tong suddenly understood.

"I have a way, I’ll take you somewhere else for the test."

Then Qu Tong took Xu An to the black market in the eastern part of the city, where Big Brother Liang was not present.

Qu Tong asked a server and found the testing room.

Testing one’s constitution with a machine was like checking a bank card balance at an ATM; it didn’t cost any money and was just a standard feature of certain locations, providing convenience for other services.

"Go ahead and test, I have a way to stop the data from being transmitted out," Qu Tong said with a casual tone.

Half in doubt, Xu An chose to trust his sister. He pricked his finger with a nearby needle, and dripped blood into the machine’s disposable slot.

This machine was much more advanced than the old one they had used on Luyi Star, and within two seconds the mechanical voice sounded:

"Resident of the remote Luyi Star, student of the Empire’s First Military Academy, Xu An, male, age 21, fertility value 25, constitution A-rank."

The mechanical voice had just finished speaking when Qu Tong violently dismantled the testing device with a stick, creating a loud noise.

Xu An was startled and looked at the table leg Qu Tong had found from somewhere, dumbfounded.

As expected, the staff quickly arrived and, after imposing a fine of 1.5 times the purchase price, kicked them out.

Xu An: "..."

This was the method his sister mentioned...

To measure physical constitution, spending 150,000, were they getting a bit carried away?

Originally, they wouldn’t have had to spend any money.

However, he didn’t speak to educate his sister about being frugal, given that she had his best interests at heart.

Xu An’s heart overflowed with emotions of gratitude and excitement, and he reached out and grabbed Qu Tong’s hands, his voice trembling as he thanked her again, "Sister, I truly thank you."

In the past, he would never have dared to imagine this!

That was a precision testing device, not A-, but almost A-rank.

He had moved up by two minor grades in one go, and if he used the remaining piece, he might even reach higher levels.

He dared not dream of returning to S-rank, but moving up from B+ to A+ was already exhilarating enough.

It proved he could pilot A-rank mecha, possess greater strength, and better protect his sister.

Qu Tong felt a bit of goosebumps due to Xu An’s sudden gesture and uncomfortably withdrew her hand.

Xu An also realized what he’d done and quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I just got too excited, I didn’t mean it."

Qu Tong waved her hand: "It’s fine."

Then she added, "Since Void Crystal Stones are useful for you, we should buy more once we earn money."

Xu An, however, shook his head: "Each person can only enhance themselves by one major rank with Void Crystal Stones, any more is useless."

If they could be used without limits, these stones would have skyrocketed in price by now, and might even have been monopolized by the major families.

Qu Tong nodded her head as if she understood but didn’t quite catch the entirety of it.

The two of them walked back, discussing business matters.

Qu Tong also handed over the supply agreement of the First Army Corps, which Cheng Feng had printed out for her, to Xu An.

At the Imperial Palace, the Empress Dowager had also told her, just wait for the Crown Prince to send the electronic contract later.

For the rest apart from supplying Drunken Star River, Xu An and Ke Jun planned to sell everything through Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop and not find secondary distributors.

Since Luyi Star was a remote planet, all business activities on the planet did not require secondary taxation, which would be a very considerable income.

He Zhou officially joined Xu An’s operations team, learning to manage the shop alongside Xu An.

The two renegotiated their revenue sharing.

Xu An always felt that Qu Tong needed to buy a lot of Growth Liquid, supplement liquid, and various seeds and cultivation liquids for growing the produce, which wasn’t cheap, at least half of the sales revenue.

Therefore, he was only willing to take 20% of the profits.

Qu Tong could only with a guilty conscience accept somewhat close to the remaining 70% of the net profit.

They also gave Cheng Yao and Ke Jun a 1% share each.

Xu An raised Xiang Bin’s salary to 50,000 Star Coins.

Xiang Bin was only in charge of affairs on Luyi Star but actually did as much work as Ke Jun did.

In the future, once Xiang Bin learned some technical things from Ke Jun, they would decide whether to increase his salary or give him a commission.

He Zhou was at the same level as the old Xiang Bin, with a salary of 10,000 and a 0.5% commission.
