The male supporting character was actually myself.

Chapter Five: Zhen Youqian's Money Bag

"If only we had the original story." Xiao Bai wiped her eyes as she listened to Tang Xiaoqi's sobbing. "He's so pitiful... If we had the original story, we might know where his sister is."

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Chen asked in return, "Do you have any clues about your sister? How long has she been missing?"

Tang Xiaoqi shook her head while crying, "I bought the chip too late yesterday, and the activation point was closed."

I was planning to take my sister to activate it this morning.

Unexpectedly, the house next door suddenly caught fire at dawn. Fearing that the fire would spread, I went to help put it out.

There were so many people and it was chaotic everywhere. I only realized my sister was missing after the fire was put out. I searched everywhere and heard people say they saw her being dragged by human traffickers towards a smuggling point…”

"That means they've probably already left the Desolate Prison Star." Jiang Chen frowned slightly. "I can buy you chips and a ticket to leave here. You can go find your sister anytime you have any news about her."

Before that, we can first track down our existing target—Lin Fan—and make him pay the price he deserves.

"Why would you spend so much money on a stranger?" Tang Xiaoqi asked hesitantly.

Jiang Chen can't exactly say that when she read the script before and discovered that Lin Fan was lying to her, she had the thought that "if you can't have someone, you should destroy them," right?

Since he is a talent that even the protagonist fears, he must not be an unknown figure in the original work.

Besides, I also need someone to run errands for me...

“I also just lost my only family member.” Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before saying vaguely, “We have a common enemy, so we should join forces!”

Young man, if we delay any longer, the number of spaceships at the smuggling points will decrease, and it will be even harder to get information about the human traffickers.

Tang Xiaoqi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously puffed out her chest. "Anyway, I have nothing left, so I'm not afraid of being fooled again. I'll go with you!"

Jiang Chen kept his word.

Upon arriving at the smuggling point, their first priority was to find human traffickers to locate Tang Xiaoqi's sister. However, in the vast sea of ​​people, finding her was not an easy task.

"Buy him a ticket with a chip." As they boarded a smuggling spaceship, Jiang Chen pointed to Tang Xiaoqi behind him and said.

The other party didn't even look up. "Including the chip transplant and the ship ticket, it's a flat price of 400,000. Pay up and you're on board; if you don't have the money, get out of here!"

Tang Xiaoqi's eyes widened when she heard the price; this was highway robbery!

A chip reseller has 300,000 chips in his hands; transplanting and activation only costs 100; a smuggling ticket costs at most 5,000!

Asking for 400,000 right off the bat is outrageous!

Tang Xiaoqi didn't believe that someone she had only known for a few minutes would be willing to spend so much money to buy her a chip and a ticket, so she prepared to turn around and leave.

"Get on the boat." Jiang Chen glanced at him, then swiped his wrist to enter the amount and pay. "Hurry up and get my little brother settled."

The ticket seller, who had been asking for an exorbitant price, was surprised to find himself dealing with a real tycoon. He immediately perked up, "Don't worry! Come on, young man, give me your hand!"

Tang Xiaoqi subconsciously straightened her chest, and as soon as she handed over her wrist, the other party deftly placed a chip on the machine.

After entering the basic information, the ticket seller glanced at Tang Xiaoqi and then at Tu Xia Jiangchen Hao, revealing a strange expression. He pressed the button to transplant and activate the chip, saying, "Level 2 chip. You'll need to upgrade if you want to go to a Level 3 planet."

"I...I don't have the money to pay you back." Tang Xiaoqi never expected that after such bad luck, she would have such good fortune. Feeling uneasy, she followed behind Jiang Chen excitedly and said, "I will work hard to earn money!"

I'll help you with anything from now on.

If... I can't pay back the money... I'll give you my life anytime!

Jiang Chen, who only wanted to find someone to run errands and do odd jobs, looked bewildered and asked, "Why would I need your life?"

Don't keep threatening to kill yourself; you need to save your life to save your sister.

Tang Xiaoqi bit her lip until it bled to hold back her tears, and nodded vigorously.

Xiao Bai perched on his shoulder, and took out a white handkerchief from somewhere to wipe the corner of her eyes. "Host, you're such a kind person!"

I'm so touched...

Oh, by the way, the main system has provided feedback on the issue with the reward items from before.

It believes that five draws should not be given, but the prize pool level can be increased.

I checked the prize pool, and if I'm lucky, I might get a golden item!

If we could draw the legendary Invincible Talisman, hahaha, then we'd be fearless! We could take on anyone except the main character, it'd be an invincible, bug-level item...

Just a second ago, Xiaobai was wiping away tears, but now she's all smiles when talking about the prize pool, and the white handkerchief she was clutching in her hand has disappeared.

The cabin was crowded with people. Jiang Chen sat on the floor, leaning against the metal wall, and closed his eyes to prepare for the lottery.

The sensible Tang Xiaoqi quietly huddled beside him, looking at the increasingly distant Desolate Prison Star through the dim, dirty glass, lost in thought.

A giant prize wheel floated in the void. With a thought, Jiang Chen made the pointer start spinning rapidly.

Little White was excited, nervous, and a little scared. Its round, short body stood straight with its paws clasped together, and it muttered softly, "Amitabha, good sir..."

The pointer slowed down more and more until it finally pointed to a golden gift pack!

"It really is a golden item! Hahaha, I have to brag about it on the system forum! Host, don't move yet, I'll take a screenshot..." Little White was overjoyed, jumping around and wiggling its butt, which made the tail ball jump around happily and chirp.

Jiang Chen opened the gift pack only after it finished taking the screenshot.

[Zhen Youqian's Money Bag: Life is so hard, and it's even harder for a male supporting character to be ready to dedicate everything to the protagonist. So let's just buy, buy, buy and have some fun!]

Please remember: Money can buy you anything!

Note: A higher limit will only be refreshed after all the money in your wallet has been spent. Don't expect to become a billionaire overnight without any special status or task bonuses.

Want more money? Then work hard to spend it!

Golden Item: Only applicable to the current type of mission world.

Status: Bound.

Spending money isn't that simple, is it?

Jiang Chen glanced at his initial quota, which was only 20,000 interstellar coins. He immediately waved to the ticket seller who was selling nutrient solutions, "Do you have a private room?"

Upon seeing that he was a tycoon, the ticket seller hurriedly ran over, "Capsule cabins are safe and comfortable, 100,000 each!"

"Two, please." Jiang Chen paused for a moment, "Two thousand each."

The payment method was a bit odd, but as long as there was money to be made, it was fine. The ticket seller hurriedly pulled out a cash register from his pocket, "No problem, swipe however you like!"

"Beep! Twenty thousand..."

Once the money was spent, the credit limit immediately became 40,000.

After swiping again, the amount became 50,000. Jiang Chen swiped a total of 200,000, but his credit limit still hadn't broken through 100,000.

He asked, still eager for more, "Do you sell weapons?"

The ticket seller's eyes lit up with excitement. She thought to herself, "It's truly a blessing from the goddess! I've encountered a super big customer on my shift today. If I serve this person well, the commission alone will be equivalent to a year's salary!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we have all kinds of cameras and lenses! Shall I show you around?"

Jiang Chen gestured for him to lead the way, then called Tang Xiaoqi, who was still in a daze, to go together.

"Money can buy anything? I love that!" Xiao Bai studied the golden prop with great interest, his eyes crinkling with laughter at the thought of having endless money. "The only downside is that there are limitations."

It is only applicable to interstellar mission worlds.

It doesn't work in other mission worlds, which is a real shame...

Many experts on the forum are extremely envious; many of them haven't even touched a golden item yet!

I need to find out if the golden item can be upgraded. If it can be upgraded to be usable in all mission worlds, then we'll be absolutely awesome, hahaha…”

The ticket seller led them to the next floor, where, as expected, various weapons that Jiang Chen had never seen before were on display, and there was even a small mecha.

It is about three meters tall, with a shape in the middle that looks a bit like a ghost face. Its arms and legs are slender, like a spider with only four legs. Its pure black appearance looks very delicate.

"Wow..." Tang Xiaoqi was instantly attracted and pressed her face against the glass cover, staring at the mecha with shining eyes.

Jiang Chen raised his chin and asked, "Can you still operate? Can you provide instruction? How much does it cost?"

Chapter Six: Basic Mechs

"Sir, you have a good eye!" The ticket seller's heart skipped a beat with excitement. If he could sell this mecha, the commission would be enough for him to live off for several years!

"This Ghost Face is a melee physical attack mech. If you want more firepower, you can also equip it with guns and cannons."

Look at it, it has survived countless battles and still looks as good as ever!

If you want to buy it, we will provide training and instruction to ensure you can drive it away when you disembark from the spaceship!

The price is also very reasonable.

"Such a powerful and durable mech, priced at only ten million, isn't that a bargain?" The ticket seller raved about the 70% new mech.

Tang Xiaoqi, who was drooling, was almost shocked to her jaw drop. Ten million!

Is this what you call cheap and affordable?

She looked at herself in the reflection of the glass dome, and thought, "Hmm, even if I sold them all as parts, I couldn't afford them."

Jiang Chen turned to him and asked, "How is it? Do you like it? Can you learn how to drive this thing?"

"Me?" Tang Xiaoqi pointed to the tip of her nose, looking completely bewildered. "Can I drive it?"

Fearing a big sale might fall through, the ticket seller quickly added, "The Ghost Face is a basic type of mecha; it doesn't require telekinesis. Just think of it as a more advanced mechanical exoskeleton. As long as you're willing to learn, you can definitely fly it!"

"Swipe the card." Jiang Chen immediately made the decision. Anyway, it was just to increase the credit limit, so he might as well treat it as buying a big toy. Then he added, "Get me a calculator, I need to swipe it in two parts."

The ticket seller couldn't handle such a large transaction, so she quickly called her supervisor and her supervisor's supervisor.

So, with the four people watching, Jiang Chen slowly began to swipe his card.

"Eighty thousand, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand..."

One person was watching the card reader and reading out the numbers, another was pressing the calculator, and the third was supervising the entire process.

Tang Xiaoqi was completely bewildered, glancing at the surreal scene of swiping cards one moment and then turning her head to look at the mecha the next, feeling as if she were dreaming.

After half an hour, the ten million was finally spent.

The other three breathed a sigh of relief. Rich people are different, even paying for things is so unique.

Maybe they find it more satisfying to do it in small, scattered steps?

After the transaction, the card limit was only five million.
