However, she ignored Baiwen's strange look. Or rather, she did not ignore it, but just took it for granted that Baiwen's look was anger. It was said that this secretary girl had always been a fan of Ningguang. It was natural for her to feel unhappy when she saw her idol being rejected mercilessly.

"Since this is what you want, Captain Beidou, I won't force you to do it."

The only thing that made Beidou feel regretful was that even though she was rejected so bluntly, Ningguang remained calm.

She calmly put the box away. She was not angry at all. Instead, she curled her lips slightly and gave Beidou a smile that could turn everyone upside down: "I will keep this custom-made phone forever."

"Captain Beidou, if you change your mind one day and want to take it away... heh, I'm looking forward to that day."

"Impossible! You should give up this idea!"

The female Dragon King sneered, "It's just a broken cell phone, but you really treat it as a treasure..." She said this in a very low voice, but it still did not escape Ningguang's ears.

Lord Tianquan laughed in silence, and said meaningfully: "I hope you can always feel this way."

……

Although he was cheated, he also lost face for Ningguang.

Beidou was full of pride, as if he had won a battle.

When she returned to the port, just as she was wondering whether to go to see a play to relax or find a bar to get drunk, she ran into Xu Liushi and Hailong head-on.

"Big sister! Big sister!"

Xu Liushi, wearing a red headscarf, was full of excitement. He trotted over to Beidou and said excitedly, "I just heard some big news! Hey, guess what?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Beidou slapped him on the head and said angrily, "If you dare to be nagging again, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

Chapter 66: I, Beidou, recognize you as my brother

"Oh……"

Xu Liushi touched the back of his head, feeling a little aggrieved.

Why is the big sister so irritable today... One slap almost blew his head off...

But he did not dare to hesitate, fearing that he would be slapped again if he answered too slowly, so he quickly said, "It's a custom-made phone! It's a custom-made phone!"

Beidou: “?”

WTF?

Thinking back to Ningguang's confident look as if she was in control of the situation and was sure that she would go find her, Beidou had a bad feeling in his heart.

But she couldn't lose her dignity in front of her younger brother, so she pretended to be calm and said calmly: "And then?"

"It's exactly what it says. During the time we were at sea, the Jade Pavilion held an auction. They said they invited the richest people in Liyue Harbor to go there just to sell ten customized mobile phones!"

Xu Liushi is mysterious.

His role on the ship was lookout and he had an eccentric personality. Every time he returned to the port, he would always be the first to find out a bunch of gossip.

"Go on." Beidou spoke word by word as the bad premonition in his heart grew stronger.

That woman Ningguang actually put on such a big show... What's so good about that customized phone?

"As for the rest... I'm not too sure." Xu Liushi scratched his head. Those who could participate in the auction were the rich and powerful. He was a poor sailor and had never witnessed it in person, so of course he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Hmm?" Beidou's face turned a little dark.

You said you found out some big news, but this is all you found out?!

"Oh, I remember now!" Seeing that the big sister looked unhappy, he rubbed his hands as if he was going to give him a big one.

Xu Liushi was alert and said hurriedly, "I also heard that the customized mobile phone comes with a small...what is it...it's like a personal butler. You can ask it the time and weather, make or receive calls, and everything is done with just a word."

"Of course, there is the most important point!"

"It is said that the most expensive mobile phone was sold at the auction that night. Hey, guess what?"

"You're itching for trouble, aren't you?" Before Beidou could make a move, Hailong couldn't help but give her a slap. "If you keep me in suspense, I'll wash all my stinky socks for the next month!"

"Just say it... why are you so fierce..."

Xu Liushi had a sad face, but he didn't mean to do that. He just couldn't help but create a good atmosphere...

Thinking of the terrible price that he could never earn even if he didn't eat or drink for ten lifetimes, the young sailor swallowed his saliva and gestured with the number four: "That's enough, this amount!"

"Four hundred thousand Mora?" Beidou felt his heart ache.

If she had known that the customized mobile phone would sell for such an outrageous price, she should not have refused so decisively. Not to mention taking it back for her own use, selling it to him for 400,000 Mora, wouldn't that also be a profit?

The world only sees the glory of Beidou, the captain of the Southern Cross, but fails to see the tremendous pressure she carries.

Although she earned a lot of money from going out to sea, she had a family to support and the fleet needed maintenance every year, so money was needed everywhere. Although she did not have to tighten her belt, it was true that she was short of money.

"It's too small. The pattern is too small." Xu Liushi shook his head, with the demeanor of a master, "Guess it's too big, just guess it's too big!"

"It can't be four million Mora..." Hailong felt his tongue trembling. He was a sailor on the Southern Cross Fleet. Although he worked in the wind and rain, his salary was not low. After working hard for a year, he could earn at least hundreds of thousands of Mora with the red envelopes and dividends.

With four million, how many years would he have to work without eating or drinking?

Beidou felt more than just heartache at this moment, she closed her eyes, unable to bear to listen any longer.

Ningguang is such a ruthless woman! It's just a mobile phone. No matter how customized it is or how high-end it is, how dare she ask for 4 million Mora! ! And she even sold it? Are there so many stupid and rich people in Liyue Port?

I haven’t finished mumbling in my mind yet.

But Xu Liushi rejected it again: "Wrong! It's a full 40 million Mora!"

"It is said that it was bought by the second son of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Turtle, these rich people are too scary. They can spend 40 million to buy a mobile phone. Not only does he have a mine at home, he has a home in the mine!"

"Eh? Eh hey hey, Big Sister, wake up! Big Sister, why did you faint? Doctor - call a doctor quickly -"

……

There was a flurry of excitement.

Beidou sat on a wooden box with a numb face and a deathly pale expression. If you didn't know her, you would think she had just gone bankrupt.

Xu Liushi and Hailong looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

What happened to the big sister? She was fine just now, but suddenly she couldn't breathe and almost fainted.

How about you ask what's going on?

Why don’t you ask!

The two exchanged glances, and finally Hailong stood up, stretched out a hand, waved it in front of the big sister, and tentatively said:

"Big sister? What's wrong with you?"

"Don't bother me, I want to be alone."

Beidou felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe when he thought about how he had missed out on 40 million Moras.

Forty million!

A full 40 million!

Enough to add a new ocean-going ship to the fleet!

"Who is Jingjing?" Hailong scratched his head and looked at the young sailor beside him, "Do you know him?"

"How do I know who Jingjing is?"

Xu Liushi rolled his eyes and said hesitantly, "But judging from the situation, Jingjing seems to be very important to the big sister. Why don't you give Brother Zhongzuo a call? He has been with Sister Beidou the longest, so he might know."

"That makes sense." Hailong nodded, took out his cell phone and was about to call Zhongzuo.

"You two idiots! Can you please be quiet?" Beidou was almost laughing at these two idiots.

As soon as the eldest sister got angry, the two idiots immediately became dispirited: "Oh..."

Forget it, why should I bother with them?

Beidou sighed. Although she still regretted not getting the customized mobile phone just now, things had already happened. Continuing to think about it would only torture herself. Could she make up for it?

...Wait, it seems like it can really be made up for.

"Captain Beidou, if you change your mind one day and want to take it away... heh, I'm looking forward to that day."

The woman's voice seemed to echo in my ears again.

At that time, Beidou sneered and declared that he would never eat charity.

The current Beidou...

Beidou now has great enlightenment.

Hey, given her relationship with Ningguang, they are sisters, who are they to each other, how can she call it a pity?

Xu Liushi and Hailong watched helplessly as their eldest sister's face turned into a dyeing shop, sometimes shame, sometimes joy, sometimes hesitation, and sometimes determination... In short, it was very complicated.

On one side is 40 million Mora.

One side is my own face.

To be fair, although Beidou was very tempted, he was a little hesitant when it came to actually implementing it.

She and Ningguang have been on good terms for so many years, and the other party has always been the one who suffers. But now she has to bow down for money. No matter how she thinks about it, she feels uncomfortable.

He hesitated.

The big sister looked at Xu Liushi who was standing beside her and said, "Shitou, let me ask you a question. If I give you 40 million Mora and ask you to be humble in front of me, would you be willing to do that?"

"Huh?" If Xu Liushi hadn't been worried that the big sister would get angry and beat him up, he would have even wanted to reach out and measure whether she had a fever.

"Big sister, what are you talking about? If you really give me 40 million Mora... don't be so humble, or I will kowtow to you twice, otherwise I will feel bad taking this money."

Beidou: “…”

I really shouldn’t have asked this hot guy!

She looked at Hailong standing beside her again… Forget it, Xu Liushi is unreliable, and this guy must be even more unreliable, so I won’t ask anymore!

In a dilemma.

Suddenly, a surprised voice was heard in the distance: "Captain Beidou?"

Beidou looked up subconsciously and saw a familiar figure standing in front of him. It was a young boy with a coconut sheep beside him.

"Brother Su? And Secretary Ganyu? Why are you here?" She was also a little surprised.

"I had nothing to do, so I went out for a walk, and before I knew it I had come here." Su Che smiled at her and asked with concern, "Captain Beidou looks like he's worried about something?"

"yes……"

Beidou sighed, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Xu Liushi and Hailong are both unreliable, but we have Brother Su!

Although he is close to Ningguang, he has a gentle personality and is well-educated, which is completely different from that woman. He even spoke up for her last time and can definitely give her some good advice.

Think so.

The female dragon king briefly recounted the dispute she had with Ningguang. She was still a little angry after she finished speaking: "...Don't you think she was deliberately trying to trick me? She knew I couldn't understand something as complicated as an instruction manual, but she didn't remind me. She must have wanted to see me make a fool of myself..."

"I see. I roughly understand."

Su Che thought for a moment and explained, "If you want to make calls on your phone, the most important thing is the signal. But due to technical reasons, there is only one signal station in the entire Liyue area, which can barely cover Liyue."

"Ningguang may not have done this on purpose. After all, I have always been responsible for the signal problem, and others don't quite understand the reason."

"But this is also an oversight on our part, Captain Beidou. I'm truly sorry."

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so polite, Brother Su?"

Beidou patted his shoulder and said carelessly, "I know you definitely didn't mean it, but Ningguang might not be the same. She's always scheming. You must be careful not to be fooled by her."

"How about this," Su Che pondered for a moment and took out a custom-made phone from his pocket. "A verbal apology is not sincere after all. Captain Beidou, please accept this custom-made phone. As for the signal station problem... I will solve it as soon as possible. I believe that it won't be long before the signal coverage will be expanded, and the applicable scope of the phone will also increase accordingly. One day, brothers will be able to talk to people freely while on the ship."

"You...you are too polite."

After learning that a customized mobile phone could be sold at a sky-high price of 40 million Mora, Beidou could no longer take it lightly.

She waved her hands in panic, wanting to refuse, but Su Che did not give her the chance. Seeing that she refused to take it, he forced it to Xu Liushi who was standing beside her.

The young sailor was eating a melon halfway when he was watching the big sister and her friends reminiscing about the past, and suddenly the food fell on his head, almost dropping the melon rind.

Especially after being glared at by the big sister and being told, "If you dare to accept it, you're dead!", he hastily refused, "No, no, no..."

"Captain Beidou, there's no need to get so excited..."
