Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

Topa was relieved; it seemed this genius was still kind after all.

Thinking this, Topa immediately stepped forward to help the person.

Su Mo looked around at the few scattered residents who had mustered up the courage to step forward, seemingly wanting to protect Xi'er, and then spoke up.

"It's still a long way before Xinghe and March 7th are kicked down. Let's do some small things to pass the time, as you wish, Saber!"

"Yes!"

The Saber King immediately accepted the order.

"Hmm... the familiar ceiling."

A dozen minutes later, Seele gradually regained consciousness.

Feeling a sweet taste she had never experienced before, she blinked, wondering if she had arrived in heaven.

Just then, a strange groaning sound came from beside her. She looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a golden pig.

Not only that, the golden pig was looking at him with unusual concern.

I was actually shown concern by a pig... Why would I have such a strange dream?

The moment this question arose, memories from before she fell into a coma suddenly flooded into her mind.

If I remember correctly, I think I fainted from hunger in front of what appeared to be enemies from the upper levels...

Realizing this, Seele immediately did a somersault to her feet, gripped her scythe tightly, and looked warily at the familiar figures in front of her.

"Please be patient, everyone. One person at a time. Everyone will get a free meal and water. Please do not cut in line or crowd!"

Wearing a high-ranking company uniform, Toppa deftly distributed food while announcing the rules through a megaphone.

Each bag she handed out contained a month's worth of food for a normal person, and a week's worth of water.

There is no doubt that she is distributing food to everyone for free.

Seeing this, Seele blinked, somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, Su Mo glanced at her.

"Awake?"

Hearing him say that, Seele shook her head and asked incredulously.

"Just now...did you save me?"

She thought she would be taken back to the Earthfire Organization by someone she knew!

"It's just basic humanitarian aid, nothing special."

Su Mo nodded slightly, not taking it to heart.

Seeing his attitude, Seele was slightly dumbfounded, and her emotions were somewhat complicated.

I never expected that I would be saved by the guys from the upper district, even though we almost had a conflict before.

Her dissatisfaction with the upper class and her grateful nature left Xi'er feeling conflicted. After thinking for two seconds, she raised her head and looked firmly at Su Mo.

"Thank you very much for your help, but I don't want to accept the pity of those guys from the upper echelons. So, how much was the food you gave me worth? I will repay you double for saving my life!"

Strong-willed girls are unwilling to accept charity, especially charity from "bad people".

Unlike those ungrateful upper-class people who completely disregard the other party's efforts, she was not like them.

Actually, if Su Mo hadn't taken care of her, she wouldn't have gotten into trouble. As a member of the Earthfire organization, she often had companions patrolling around, and there were many trustworthy people among the miners.

However, since we must repay this kindness, we should do our best and have a clear conscience.

Upon hearing Seele's statement, Toppa glanced at her with a slightly strange look, while Su Mo calmly shook his head.

"No need, it's nothing of value."

"No! Repaying kindness is my life principle!"

Seele also has her own principles.

Seeing how stubborn the girl was, Su Mo didn't bother to pull her any further.

"What I just fed you was a fruit from the Tree of Life that's relatively easy to digest, and it's a little good for your health."

"...Never heard of it. But, is it just a fruit?"

Seele shook her head, then breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reached for her empty wallet.

"I will repay your kindness with all my might. I'll pay you back for the food now. How much is it in total?"

She knew she didn't have much money, and she knew that such delicious fruit must be very valuable, but in her impoverished worldview, just five Winterhold Shields were enough to give a strong young miner a good meal.

If that's the case, even if a fruit is expensive, it shouldn't cost more than five Winterhold Shields, right?

Even if you double the amount, it's still only ten Winter City Shields.

She happens to have an excessively frugal habit, preferring to go hungry rather than not save money for later, so she still has seven Winterhold Shields on hand.

From this perspective, all you need to do is empty your own savings and borrow some from the leader to pay off the food debt.

As for the favor they offered, repaying it wouldn't be difficult; she could simply protect them for a month. She was far more adept at risking her life than at making money.

Just as Seele confidently laid out seven coins, she suddenly noticed that Toppa's gaze seemed unusually subtle.

"Miss Xier, I think you should accept Lord Su Mo's kindness!"

Toppa carefully chose his words.

"Otherwise, this would be a huge burden for you."

There was no need to inquire about the girl's name. When she fainted, several people risked their own safety to try to save her. It seems that the name Seele still holds some prestige here. Toppa naturally felt sympathy for such a girl and did not want her to fall into the abyss.

Unfortunately, Seele was born with a strong will.

"Burden? Not much—"

"Stop looking down on me," she originally wanted to say, after all, she wasn't stupid and knew that the other person meant she couldn't afford to pay the bill.

Kotopa's eyes were unusually sincere, and regardless of her thoughts, she was indeed helping these poor people, which made Seele reluctant to be too harsh on her.

So after a pause, she continued.

"How much? Don't worry, even if I have to sell everything I own and borrow from Hook, I will definitely pay you back!"

Seeing his insistence, Topa sighed and shook his head.

"Alright, I'll tell you something, but don't be scared."

"Don't worry, I'm a member of Earthfire. I'm not that fragile and I won't be scared so easily."

Seele straightened her slender chest, but her little hands couldn't help but clench tightly in secret.

"Although the origin of the fruit of the Tree of Life provided by Lord Su Mo is unknown, if we judge its value by its effects, it would be worth about 500 million credits in our Interstellar Peace Company's credit points."

Toppa's words left Seele slightly bewildered.

How many?

What is a credit point?

Seeing that she looked slightly confused, Toppa offered an explanation.

"If converted to your Winter City Shields, it's probably worth five hundred—"

Five hundred Winter City shields?!

Before Toppa could finish speaking, Seele's eyes widened, and her purple pupils instantly turned bright red.

"What kind of fruit is so expensive? Even the boss doesn't have that much money, let alone Hook!"

In the resource-scarce underground district, this is a huge sum of money. Even the probes of high-precision instruments that can detect mineral veins usually cost only a few hundred Winter City Shields.

After the initial shock, she didn't doubt that Toppa had overcharged; she wasn't completely unaware of the extravagance of the upper-class area.

Five hundred Winter City Shields may sound outrageous, but it's not outrageous, nor is it from the upper districts.

So, after letting out a soft sigh, she covered her forehead with her small hands.

"Alright, five hundred Winter City Shields. If I work another job and save for two more years, I should be able to manage."

In lower-income areas where food expenses make up the majority of spending, saving money is extremely difficult.

Seeing the girl's distressed expression, Toppa's eyes showed even more pity.

"No, I didn't say five hundred, I said five million Winter City Shields."

"what?"

Seele froze, completely unable to believe her ears.

"How many did you say?"

"Five million, ten thousand times five hundred."

Toppa patiently repeated.

After confirming the amount Toppa mentioned multiple times, even though she had never been to school, she understood that it was a price she absolutely could not afford to pay.

Five million Winter City Shields—it would take her twenty thousand years of frugal living to scrape together that much.

"Why is it so tall? Is your peel made of gold, or is the flesh made of gold?"

Seele suspects she has been scammed.

Even in the upper echelons, no one could possibly be this rich!

"Five million? You wouldn't even be worth that much if you bought me!"

Anyone who wakes up to find themselves inexplicably burdened with an enormous debt would be furious, and Seele was no exception, her expression instantly turning wary.

Seeing her like this, Topa shrugged.

"So Lord Su Mo had already told you before that you didn't need to pay it back, but you insisted on doing it yourself."

"As for the value of the fruit of the Tree of Life, you have absolutely no doubt about it; ordinary gold simply cannot compare to it."
