Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1756 Such a grand gift, yet the request is even greater (Second update, please vote)

She Zhuyin continued, "I will pay the rent."

"One pound of gold a day, thirty pounds of gold in thirty days."

"Yu Shen, go back immediately and bring me thirty catties of gold."

Xia Chujian couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

She tried her best to remain calm and said, "Ah... Auntie... that won't be necessary..."

"It's just a loan for a month, I won't distrust your aunt."

She Zhuyin smiled and said, "Lending it to me is already a huge favor."

"How could I be so shameless as to accept this favor for nothing?"
"At first glance, I'll tell you the truth: this thing is far more valuable than thirty pounds of gold."

"This is me taking advantage of you."

Xia Chujian was blinded by the amount of "thirty catties" of gold.

In the realm of gold sold by the gram, what is the weight of thirty jin (approximately 15 kg)?!

One jin equals five hundred grams.

Thirty jin is 15,000 kilograms!

I'm rich... This time I'm really rich!
Xia Chujian's income is actually quite high.

She used to work with the Su family and the Quan family to develop mineral resources on Morizawa Star, and she also started receiving dividends.

Su Buyan would frequently transfer large sums of money to her, for various purposes such as patent fees and usage fees, but she had no idea what they were for.

However, Su Buyan insisted that she deserved it, so she accepted it without any qualms.

However, after receiving the money, it was directly transferred to Aunt Xia Yuanfang to purchase the equipment she needed for her gene experiments.

These things are all money-devouring beasts.

Now her family has grown too; there are ten people in Xia Miao's group and eight people in Qin Wanglan's group.

Each of these eighteen people needs to be paid a salary.

The salaries paid to these high-level genetic evolvers are all extremely high.

Although Xia Chujian had done them a favor, she never thought that just because she had saved them, she should treat them as servants or slaves.

She and they were in a superior-subordinate relationship, but also an equal relationship.

If it weren't for the dividends from the mining, she really wouldn't be able to support so many subordinates.

It's clear that she earns a lot, but she also spends a lot.

They still don't realize they're already rich.

Now that I suddenly have thirty pounds of gold, I feel like I can stand up straighter.

Her "golden reserves" of private savings are about to have another addition to her stash...

Soon, Huo Yushen brought her the gold, and Xia Chujian agreed that She Zhuyin could take the silk scroll with her.

She was still a little worried and said reluctantly, "Auntie, please be careful!"

"I don't know if this thing can be brought into the medical bay..."

She Zhuyin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be more careful with it than you are."

"At least, I won't put it in a shoebox under the bed."

Xia Chujian's face immediately turned red.

……

She Zhuyin entered the medical pod and began using the silk scroll to heal the wounds to the source of her life.

That was a truly serious injury; in this universe, there would have been no chance of it healing.

Now, the opportunity has actually arisen.

Of course, She Zhuyin would not give up.

With the help of the scroll and Xia Chujian, Huo Yushen achieved another evolution of his genes.

Xia Xiong and the others' injuries have completely healed, both inside and out.

Having only been back from that place for a few days, Xia Chujian already felt that life was truly wonderful.

It's so good that it feels almost unreal when I wake up every day.

……

That evening, a large group of Xia family members were having dinner at a restaurant.

Qin Wanglan asked, "Have you paid any attention to the front lines on Shaofu Star?"

"It's been a month, and there hasn't been a single Zerg sneak attack from over there."

Xia Chujian picked up a piece of stir-fried beef brisket with her chopsticks and said while eating, "Isn't that pretty good?"

"Are you actually hoping for a Zerg sneak attack?"

Qin Wanglan quickly said, "Of course not! I'm just wondering..."

“A month ago, the Zerg launched a frenzied attack. We fought three major battles and wiped out an entire interstellar fleet.”

"Suddenly, they stopped attacking. Isn't that strange?"

Xia Chujian swallowed the delicious stir-fried beef unicorn, thought for a moment, and said, "What you're saying is indeed quite strange."

"However, I don't think those three battles wiped out all the Zerg."

"I think we should go to the Southern Cross star system and see what the Zerg are up to?"

Huo Yushen coughed lightly and said, "I can go and take a look."

"My current genes..."

Xia Xiong suddenly exclaimed, "Boss! Have your genes evolved again?!"

"I can sense your presence; it's completely different now!"

Huo Yushen said calmly, "Yes, it has evolved again."

He didn't say that he had taken a big step forward in his evolution.

That's too horrifying, and it's bad for their mental health.

Sure enough, Xia Miao and Xia Xiong all thought that Huo Yushen had evolved to a new level, and they praised him highly, saying he was amazing.

Xia Chujian took a sip of the golden juice, found it a bit sour, and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Let's go together."

"I was just thinking of going out for a walk."

Huo Yushen: "..." He's only been back for a few days, and he's already going out for a walk?
This girl really can't stay still...

After dinner, instead of going back to their rooms immediately, everyone went to the large living room on the other side to chat, watch TV, browse videos, and play cards. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

This is one of the few moments of leisure I've had recently.

Aunt Chen, Yingying, and Sanzong were playing cards together, while watching Wufu, Xiao Jiuxiang, Teacup Dog Awu, Little Fat Qiu Ayuan, Little Yellow Chicken Achou, and Little Dog Sixi sitting in a circle on the floor next to them.

Xia Miao and the others were sitting on the corner sofa, excitedly telling Huo Yushen about their "adventures" of entering the time node.

After the danger, all that remained were those unbelievable experiences.

Even Xia Yuanfang, contrary to his usual behavior, rushed back to his lab to do experiments before finishing his meal.

Instead, he sat with Qin Wanglan and the others, chatting about topics they were all familiar with.

Xia Chujian was delighted to see this scene.

This is the life she wants!

Such wonderful times are usually fleeting...

The moment the thought crossed Xia Chujian's mind, her quantum optical brain watch emitted a beeping sound.

She looked down and saw it was a video call invitation from Su Buyan.

Summer was even more delightful when I saw him.

She glanced at the messy yet warm atmosphere of the living room and left with a smile.

I went to the small room opposite the living room and accepted the video call invitation.

She closed the door, sat with her back to the French windows, and stretched out her legs.

Opposite the living room is a row of small rooms, each with different functions, as well as guest rooms.

What lay before me was the beautiful, tranquil, and flower-filled night view of the backyard.

The virtual display screen lights up.

Instead of using a virtual background, Xia Chujian reflected the scenery of the backyard.

Su Buyan's avatar appeared on the virtual display screen.

He didn't use a virtual background; it was just the view from his room.

However, it doesn't look like his bedroom, but rather a study or similar place.

Because his background was a dove-gray wall and a walnut bookcase as tall as the wall, filled with densely packed books.

In the lower part of the background, you can even see a movable peach wood ladder, which can be used to reach the books on the upper shelf of the bookcase.

Xia Chujian greeted him with a smile, "Good evening, Master! Have you eaten?"

Su Buyan's serious expression immediately crumbled.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I ate, but it wasn't very good."

What did you eat for dinner?

Just as Xia Chujian was about to enthusiastically talk about her dinner, she heard a slight cough coming from the virtual screen.

Xia Chujian sensed that there must be someone else around Su Buyan.

She asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong?"

Su Buyan could only cough lightly and say, "It's our first meeting. Actually, it wasn't me who wanted to find you; it was this person who wanted to find you."

As he spoke, he pulled someone into the frame.

Xia Chujian looked up and was surprised to see Zong Ruoning!

Long time no see. Zong Ruoning looks unusually excited right now.

His pale skin had a sickly flush, but his dark circles were very pronounced.

My hair is dull and a bit tangled.

His eyes were very bright, unusually bright.

Xia Chujian quickly greeted him, "Hello, Young Master Zong!"

She has now graduated and is too embarrassed to call Zong Ruoning "teacher" anymore, so she changed her form of address.

Zong Ruoning didn't care about any of that. She took a deep breath and said, "General Xia, we're all acquaintances. I won't waste my time with you."

"Something has happened in my family, and I would like to ask Lieutenant General Xia for a favor and ask him to come with me to a certain place."

Xia Chujian became even more curious.

Why would someone invite someone from the Zong family to a certain place when something happened to them?
What does it have to do with her that the Zong family is in trouble?

Moreover, Zong Ruoning didn't even call her by her name, but directly by her military rank, as if it wasn't a favor from an acquaintance, but rather a roundabout request for a favor...

She was subconsciously unwilling.

But then she thought about it again, considering the help Zong Ruoning and Zong Ruoan had given her in the past, as well as the great help that Grandpa Zong had given her in the war against the Zerg, she still felt that if she could help, she should.

She smiled and said, "Young Master Zong, you're too kind! But I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't know how I can help you."

Su Buyan chimed in from the side, "Ruoning, when you talk to Chujian, be direct and don't beat around the bush."

Then he said to Xia Chujian, "Chujian, if you can help, then help this once; if not, then forget it."

"I assure you that the Zong family will not have any complaints about you because of this."

"Besides, they won't let you help them for nothing, right, Ruoning?"

Zong Ruoning quickly replied, "Of course."

"We are willing to offer a villa in the heart of the capital, plus fifty kilograms of gold and one billion Beichen coins in cash. Please, Lieutenant General Xia, lend us a hand!"

"If successful, the reward will triple!"

"If it doesn't work out, you'll still get double the reward when you come back!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes.

When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.

The gift is so generous, but the request is even greater!
Xia Chujian asked suspiciously, "...Is this matter very dangerous?"

Is there any danger to my life?

　I need to start begging for monthly votes again.
