Chapter 931: Chapter 931
Nian Shutong’s absolute power made the man opposite her too afraid to say a word, hardly daring to breathe.
"Ahhhh———" The man pointed at his own throat with one finger, rasping for a long time, until Nian Shutong slowly lowered her finger and said as if she just remembered, "I’m really sorry, I forgot."
"I wonder how you plan to compensate me?"
"Do you not want me to participate in the bidding for the Transfer Station slot because you think I’m too much of a threat, or do you simply dislike me?"
Nian Shutong’s question made the man feel it was a deadly dilemma. He stammered and could not answer.
"Ah, forget it, you’re lucky I’m in a good mood. I haven’t really felt like killing anyone lately. Just transfer the funds, one million contribution points."
Nian Shutong opened her account while smiling, but her eyes were cold as she looked at the man and said, "Don’t worry about the network crashing, just transfer the funds in peace."
The man looked at his restored account and immediately understood that it was all Nian Shutong’s doing. How did she accomplish it?
Could she actually control the Star Network?
"My time is limited. If we delay any further, I’m afraid I’ll get bored."
The man dared not waste any more time and transferred one million contribution points, his heart aching as he did it. After the transfer was complete, the network crashed again.
"Great, please target me again next time. I quite enjoy it."
Nian Shutong turned around and walked out of the man’s house with extreme ease, leaving her back undefended. Those who had intended to act were stopped by the man.
As Nian Shutong reached the doorway, the man inside heard a clear voice saying: Your choice was wise.
The man collapsed onto the sofa with a thud; Nian Shutong’s power was too overwhelming. This was a wrong move on their part.
"In just a few months, how did it come to this point?"
The man leaned back weakly on the sofa, unwilling to give any hint to others. If he was doomed, he figured everyone might as well be doomed together.
Upon leaving, Nian Shutong visited several other homes, adopting the same demeanor. Some tried to resist fiercely, but they couldn’t even contend with her finger, so in the end, they obediently transferred the funds.
After making her rounds, Nian Shutong told Fu Yunhe to restore the network, as she wanted to revisit the contribution points hall.
Although the previous contribution points hall had collapsed, with enough money, a temporary office was quickly set up nearby. Thıs text ıs hosted at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
When Nian Shutong walked in again with her usual pace, she immediately met the manager.
"Hello, Ms. Nian Shutong, welcome to our contribution points hall. I will personally handle your business."
Nian Shutong didn’t say much, simply following the manager to a room where she leisurely sat in a chair. The manager hurriedly served tea and snacks and courteously helped Nian Shutong with the unfreezing procedures.
"Ms. Nian Shutong, is there anything else you’re not satisfied with?"
"I don’t have any complaints, but I’ve been making a lot of transactions today. Is it still necessary to freeze my account?"
"No, it’s not necessary. We’ve already verified that these were all legitimate transaction needs."
The manager bent over, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, not daring to freeze her account again. The people behind him would be in tears; that was a million contribution points, needing to hunt many Few Insect Beasts to exchange, just gone like that.
Also, their contribution points building had inexplicably collapsed; everyone secretly knew it was Nian Shutong’s doing, but no one had any evidence, so what could be said?
They had no choice but to accept the loss silently while giving her tremendous benefits.
Nian Shutong left the contribution points exchange hall, quite pleased.
Fu Yunhe’s call came through.
"I’ve restored the contribution points network."
"Great, I’m just about ready to head to the preliminary location to rank my contribution points."
Following the navigation address, Nian Shutong headed towards the preliminary location, while on the other side, Fu Yunhe was busy settling soldiers, so they soon hung up the call.
When Nian Shutong arrived, the preliminary round hadn’t started yet but would begin early the next morning. Not wanting to go back and forth, she decided to check into a hotel across from the preliminary site.
With a full wallet, Nian Shutong didn’t choose the most expensive room, but the next best wasn’t a problem.
After completing the check-in procedures, Nian Shutong headed to her room. The Light Computer unlocked the door directly, and once inside, Nian Shutong, staying at a hotel for the first time, curiously looked around.
The room was relatively large, with a small living area with a sofa and TV, a separate large bedroom, an ensuite bathroom, and a large balcony with a view of the night skyline.
Nian Shutong walked to the balcony, leaned on the railing, watching the people bustling below, and the intricate aerial traffic system operating constantly.
It was her first time seeing a city’s night view.
Suddenly, feeling a bit invigorated, Nian Shutong took a picture and sent it to Fu Yunhe, then got dressed and headed downstairs.
She saw in the distance a bustling street, lively with noise, and decided to take a stroll.
Nian Shutong soon found herself in a lively street across the way, a snack street with many handcrafted goods, everything dazzling to the eyes.
She enthusiastically stopped at each snack stand, with a skewer in her left hand and a cup of frozen Cola in her right, weaving through the crowd, enjoying the simple pleasure of snacking and strolling.
As she walked, she reached a recreational area full of various games.
There were adorable dancing robots where you could pick one to compete in a dance-off, with the winner receiving a prize from the stall owner;
The simple ring toss game wasn’t on flat ground here but required you to throw upward, with prizes stationed on high poles, and the participant had to be blindfolded;
There were also simple arm-wrestling matches, a hammer game testing strength, and a simple shooting game, where the targets weren’t stationary but revolved back and forth.
Nian Shutong watched with great interest, occasionally clapping, and simply enjoying the public joy.
"Which one do you like?"
The familiar voice made Nian Shutong immediately turn around, smiling at Fu Yunhe standing behind her.
"In that outfit, you look like a thief."
Before her stood Fu Yunhe, dressed in all black without a hint of color, and wearing a black mask on his face.
Most importantly, he was in the state of a Spiritual Body, not his physical self.
