Because it was his first pearl, and he had given it directly to Huo Ting, Yu Mian himself didn’t know that once the pearl’s soothing power was completely depleted, it would lose its luster and become brittle.
So, he confidently asked in return, leaving Huo Ting, who received the note questioning him, doubting himself as he looked at the now-dull pearl in the pouch.
Had he broken it?
And it was even the only one the other party had.
Although he was initially surprised, thinking about it more carefully, it seemed reasonable.
After all, of a pearl with such a precious effect could be mass-produced, wouldn’t all mental power issues be solved at once?
Even the scenes of rippling water from last night’s dream seemed to gradually blur from his memory.
This time, Yu Mian waited for a long time, but Huo Ting never responded.
“Could he have really lost it?”
Yu Mian found it hard to believe for a moment. He watched Huo Ting preparing to go out and wanted to hold him down and ask.
But before leaving, Huo Ting did leave a final note in the study.
It wasn’t about the pearl but instead about the account.
—If you need supplies in the future, feel free to make purchases. Qiao Ni will deliver any packages upstairs as soon as they arrive. This account is yours until you leave. – Huo
After all, the fact that this resident used the account made Huo Ting realize that the other party might indeed be injured and in urgent need of medicine, which was why the account was activated for the first time.
The star coins in this account were mostly extra bonuses accumulated from military missions, and he rarely needed to use them.
It was essentially a private account.
Letting the person in the study use it temporarily seemed just right.
“Does this count as bribery? After all, this guy didn’t even say if the pearl was lost or not.”
Although after reading Huo Ting’s explanation, Yu Mian couldn’t shake the feeling that Huo Ting was trying to change the subject.
[But having a private account does seem very convenient. You can have items delivered directly to this old residence temporarily.]
The little system found the account rather helpful.
Yu Mian couldn’t help but flick his fish tail in the aquarium.
Pearls, pearls…when he needed one, there wasn’t a single one left.
After all, he was quite curious about the effects of the pearl, but he hadn’t even had time to warm the first one up before giving it to Huo Ting.
Did that guy really lose it?
Of course, it was true that he had stayed out all night first, making Huo Ting wait for him the entire night.
What Yu Mian didn’t know was that his casual question had indeed caused a deep misunderstanding for Huo Ting.
“Are you sure you don’t have any pearls of this color?”
Huo Ting looked at the array of pearls on display but found that no matter which one he saw, regardless of price, none of them resembled the one he had originally received.
“The golden pearl you described truly hasn’t been heard of. Are you certain it’s a natural pearl?”
“To achieve that kind of luster, it would undoubtedly need to be an extremely rare deep-sea pearl. Unless you inquire with certain special aquatic races for clues.”
“So this is really not a question of price, but the fact that there is really none in the entire Central Star.”
Faced with the store’s helpless response, Huo Ting sat in the back seat of his car with an unusually solemn expression.
Rubbing the now-lusterless small pearl in his hand, he couldn’t help but feel as though the pearl had “framed” him.
And now, he had to provide an answer to its owner.
After all, it was the other party’s only pearl, and yet he had given it to him.
“But, boss, the old master said he’ll be back in a few days. Do we need to prepare anything in advance?”
As Huo Ting pondered deeply, Secretary Hals interrupted his thoughts with this question.
‘Grandpa was returning?’
Meanwhile, during this period, aside from the skyrocketing popularity of the serialized “Reborn”, the third and fourth volumes of “Rebirth of the Interstellar Soldier King” had also been successfully released one after another.
According to Editor Shaxs, this time, the sales directly broke Huanyu’s previous records, and even the distribution regions and star systems had expanded several times.
[Fish: Are there really so many readers from other star systems?]
Yu Mian found it a bit unbelievable. He didn’t expect that his readers would become more and more widespread.
[Crispy Shark: Of course! For some smaller language groups, we’re even preparing translated versions. “Rebirth of the Interstellar Soldier King” is truly a very special work.]
Editor Shaxs tried to explain to Yu Mian just how unique “Rebirth of the Interstellar Soldier King” was, as it had single-handedly opened up the trend and genre of rebirth tough-guy stories.
Due to its unusual path of “exporting and then re-importing,” “Rebirth of the Interstellar Soldier King” had indeed become the novel with the most fans from outer star systems among all of Yu Mian’s works.
What’s more, in the two newly released volumes, the upgrade-oriented plot was as smooth and refreshing as ever, and even made people feel very satisfied as the protagonist Lin Mu grew stronger.
Lin Mu not only managed to slap the villain cannon fodder Luke in the face, he also obtained a huge treasure during the exploration of the secret realm and secured a spot among the top ten in the admission rankings.
For the first time, he left the opening Garbage Star map and headed to a more advanced interstellar academy to look for his teacher’s old friend and also see if there was any way to repair his damaged star core.
Moreover, with the big star ore in his possession, Lin Mu successfully upgraded all his equipment and took the remaining piece to an auction house at a higher star system to sell it.
As a result, under Fish Soup Noodles’ pen, even such a small piece of star ore sparked a bidding frenzy and fierce competition among various factions.
Coming from the Garbage Star with nothing to his name, Lin Mu managed to secure his first-ever massive fortune, solving the financial problems that had been hindering his search for his teacher’s old friend!
This auction plot alone made countless fans of “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier King” feel refreshed and gave them an intense sense of satisfaction.
After all, this plot where the protagonist casually pulls out a treasure and it sparks a fight among countless big shots, ultimately earning him a huge fortune, is undeniably gratifying without any poisonous points.
After reading one scene, readers can’t help but want to read a few more, which meant that no matter how many such refreshing plots there are, they could never grow old!
[And it feels like Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ skill in writing satisfying scenes is becoming smoother with every volume! Every time a new book is released, I just have to stay up all night to finish it…I can’t hold back at all!]
[I completely agree. “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier King” is such a uniquely styled book, and it’s so exciting to read. But I’m really anxious about Lin Mu’s star core problem, will it ever get fixed?]
[Can I just say that my classmates from other star systems poke me endlessly for spoilers on the latest plot because the physical books there are released a few weeks later? Everyone’s mood when chasing updates is exactly the same! I’m really looking forward to Lin Mu finding Teacher Hachir’s old friend!!]
Amid the anticipation of countless “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier King” fans, Lin Mu began a new chapter in his journey after entering the new academy and leveling-up map.
Aware of the principle that “a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind,” Lin Mu kept a low profile in his daily actions.
But for the vast interstellar readers that had god’s perspective, they knew that if any villain cannon fodder dared to underestimate Lin Mu would inevitably suffer a brutal lesson, as Lin Mu was now capable of even challenging higher level opponents.
Naturally, the highlight of the third and fourth volumes revolved around the classic “making a big splash” in many cool novels.
In this new map, a pivotal moment arrived when talented youths from all major star systems gathered to compete on the same stage.
The exploration of interstellar ruins attracted the attention of almost all the big shots from all forces from the higher star systems.
At first, although Lin Mu was able to stand out on Garbage Star, once he arrived here, he was drowned in the crowd and was inconspicuous.
Even because he was the only participant in the venue without a star core, he drew countless contempt and ridicule.
[“Perhaps only a Garbage Star would allow such a waste without a star core to compete alongside us.
“Exactly. Next year, they should revoke the Garbage Star’s admission quota and give it to children from other star systems with more potential.”
Not only did the other contestants on the same stage not take Lin Mu seriously, but many academy instructors were also baffled by the inclusion of a “cripple” like Lin Mu in the selection.]]
Such typical cannon-fodder ridicule infuriated countless readers in the dwarf tavern on the Garbage Star.
“This is outrageous! Do these people think birth determines everything?”
“Just because Lin Mu doesn’t have a star core, they dare to ridicule him? They deserve to be taught a lesson!”
“That’s right! Brother Lin Mu is so powerful; he’s definitely going to win first place this time!”
Not only the adults were angry, but even the little ones who gathered around to listen felt a strong sense of grievance and anger.
And the following plot, of course, delivered the kind of satisfaction that dominated the hot searches for a whole week.
No one expected the unassuming “cripple” from the Garbage Star to become a sensation from then on!
Lin Mu swept through the ruins like an unstoppable force. Despite his crippled body without a star core, he unleashed the second layer of the Heart Of The Soldier King’s power, breaking the highest kill record in one fell swoop.
Even the genius youth nurtured by the higher star systems lost to Lin Mu in a single strike.
When Lin Mu, covered in blood, silently emerged from the ruins and was declared the winner of the year, his name resounded across this higher star region.
Exclamations like “Who is this kid?” and “Where did he come from? Who is his master?” from major leaders made readers’ foreheads numb with pleasure.
At that moment, the old friend of God Of War Hachir, who was seated on the high platform, finally noticed Lin Mu’s extraordinary presence and even sensed the breath of his late benefactor on him.
The fourth volume concluded at this critical point, leaving readers completely unable to get enough.
