Ming Shu was now really negotiating a business.

  The other party was a very ugly-looking creature, supported himself on many tentacles like an octopus, but with an extremely small head.

  Ming Shu stared at his tentacles.

  Is that thing edible?

  The other party said they came from Hai Rui Starzone and Hai Rui’s people all looked like this. Their physical characteristics were more or less related to marine life.

  Hai Rui Starzone was a relatively close starzone. The old zone leader wanted to do business with them many times before but failed.

  Who’d have thought that one day Hai Rui Starzone came to them voluntarily.

  “Zone Leader Xi Yang, the price is negotiable as long as you can find what we want.”


  Ming Shu averted her gaze from the Hai Rui guy’s tentacles. “What do you want?”


  The Hai Rui guy took a file from his attendants. It contained a piece of yellowing paper.

  Honestly, ever since Ming Shu came to the interstellar world, she hadn’t seen any paper documents, or even any papery object.

  The Hai Rui guy held the paper with his tentacles like he was holding something sacred. He delivered it before Ming Shu but didn’t intend to let Ming Shu touch it.

  Ming Shu had to read it like that, but the tentacles always distracted her.

  Octopus balls were delicious……

  The Hai Rui guy didn’t know why Ming Shu kept staring at his legs. He had specially cleaned them before coming here today. Was there anything dirty on them?

  “Zone Leader Xi Yang?”


  Pitifully, it spoke.

  Ming Shu finally focused on the paper.

  The words on the paper looked strange and Ming Shu couldn’t get the meaning. The handwriting was also terrible.

  But Ming Shu recognized the picture.

  It was an immortal stone.

  It looked exactly like the one that had been stolen by Ai Nuo.

  Ming Shu squinted her eyes slightly. The Host had an immortal stone before, and now Hai Rui Starzone came to her. Was it a coincidence?

  “Zone Leader Xi Yang, as long as you can find this, the trade businesses in Hai Rui Starzone will all be left to your Unlucky Starzone.”


  Hai Rui Starzone was very large. If they could get through the trade road to Hai Rui Starzone, they would make a lot of money.

  But……

  “No no no, it doesn’t sound cost-effective.” Who knows what this immortal stone is? I don’t want to trigger an additional task.

  The Hai Rui guy said, “You only need to discover its whereabouts, and we’ll complete the job. Then the deal should be done.”


  In the end, Ming Shu agreed to look for it for them. But she didn’t promise she would definitely find it.

  Ming Shu assigned the new mission to the subordinates.

  Big Head Ai had also left with Ai Nuo, so now there was only Xue Li, who didn’t even know what was happening.

  After learning that Xue Li couldn’t cook, Ming Shu threw her out as well.

  A female protagonist who didn’t cook was not a good female protagonist.

  Xue Li tried to contact Ai Nuo, but received no response. Then she heard that Ai Nuo was taken away by Big Head Ai, so she relaxed a little.

  Little Zhu was hospitable to the female protagonist and brought her back in secret.

  This was totally seeking death as Little Zhuo had done what a male protagonist should do, but Ming Shu chose to watch quietly while enjoying her nutrient sticks.

  Xue Li inexplicably attached herself to a big figure in this way. Little Zhu’s main position was not at the Mecha Department, but his vice position was.

  Don’t think about how Little Zhu looked young, he was actually very famous in Technology City.

  There was a ranking list in Technology City.

  Its official name was the “Ranking List of Science and Technology Stars,” but Technology City’s people called it the “Ranking List of Science and Technology Ferociousness” Little Zhu ranked fifth.

  Curly Hair was the second.

  The first one was the sloppy man.

  Although Ming Shu didn’t see how the sloppy man who petted a fake cat looked ferocious……

  The ranking list wouldn’t lie. There must be some ferociousness in the sloppy man.

  Yet Ming Shu didn’t have time to witness the sloppy man’s ferociousness—she was taken back to Red Sea Star by Shan Yin.

  She was very busy as a zone leader!

  After staying in Technology City for several days, a lot of affairs had piled up for her to deal with.

  Shan Yin had already dealt with those unimportant issues, so the remaining ones were all Ming Shu’s.

  Red Sea Star was called this name because its seawater looked red from above.

  Ming Shu lived by the sea, so she could see the deep red surface when she looked up.

  So tired!

  “Zone Leader, you’ll need to go to the arsenal factory today. You need to negotiate a cooperation in person in the afternoon and there will be a meeting in the evening……”


  Ming Shu lay on the table, biting into a nutrient stick. “I want to have days off.”


  “Zone Leader, you don’t have holidays,” Shan Yin said seriously.

  “Why?” Ming Shu asked with dissatisfaction. “I won’t work on weekends in the future, that’s it. Don’t say anything.”


  “.……” Why is the zone leader becoming more and more willful? Shan Yin coughed and reminded Ming Shu lightly, “But it’s Thursday today.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Ming Shu began her work on Thursday with a pile of nutrient sticks in her arms. She needed to check on the arsenal factory because of the new weapons there.

  The negotiation didn’t go well. Ming Shu quit the job angrily and gained some Hatred Points from the other party of the negotiation conveniently.

  The meeting in the evening also made her drowsy.

  For Hatred Points and killing time to have meetings, Ming Shu, after everyone’s discussion, formulated a series of inhumane rules for interstellar space that would make later generations really want to kill her.

  She would raise the price if the other party was too tall.

  She would raise the price if the other party was too ugly.

  What about being too beautiful? Sorry, the price would be doubled.

  This was insane! No matter if you were ugly or beautiful, the price would be raised. Even worse, the standards of being ugly or not were all up to her. How could they do business in this way?

  If you thought the price was too high?

  Okay, fine, she wouldn’t sell it to you. Buy it or not, she didn’t care.

  Shan Yin was also stunned to receive these new rules.

  Finally the meeting was over. Ming Shu prepared to go back to her room and cultivate a relationship with her nutrient sticks. But Shan Yin wouldn’t allow her to call it a day.

  Shan Yin put away the new rules. “Zone Leader, I have one more thing to report.”


  Ming Shu yawned. “Has the tenth great war of the universe broken out?”


  “No.” Shan Yin paused. “It’s about Arlo Starzone and Hua Xia Starzone. Last time the two sides perished together, and it’s said that Hua Xia Starzone was sold out by traitors. Now Hua Xia Starzone is looking for the traitor everywhere.”


  “It’s Qi Chaoyang,” Ming Shu said slowly.

  “You also heard that?”


  He didn’t seem to have told the zone leader that.

  Who told her then?

  Qi Chaoyang was the male protagonist, so of course Ming Shu knew.

  “We’ve found out Qi Chaoyang’s whereabouts, do we need to notify Hua Xia Starzone?”


  If Qi Chaoyang got caught, wouldn’t that give the fake female protagonist a chance to kill him?

  But if the male protagonist was alive, the fake female protagonist wouldn’t manage to kidnap the female protagonist.

  Then she might be pissed off.

  “Where is he?”


  “In Technology City.”


  The female protagonist was in Technology City, so it was no surprise that the male protagonist also appeared there.

  “Leave him alone.”


  Shan Yin frowned slightly. “Zone Leader, if Hua Xia’s side learns this, we won’t have any excuse for it.”


  “Then don’t let them know,” Ming Shu said. “Do you need me to tell you that?”


  Shan Yin: “.……”


  They had nothing to do with this matter. If they handed the man over, it would be to the satisfaction of all; if not, they should at least drive him out.

  But how could they leave him alone?

  No, wait, what the zone leader meant was he needed to help conceal the man’s whereabouts……

  Shan Yin couldn’t understand his zone leader anymore.

  When Shan Yin left, he heard his zone leader murmuring, “I’ll find an opportunity to date Little Sister Ai Nuo……”
