Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: Star Era Guide (9)
Chuzheng held the RN6 and scrutinized it; the liquid was blue, flowing like mercury, somewhat sluggish.
Chuzheng tossed the item into Space, stood up, and left.
She opened the door of the private room and stepped out, the sounds from the corridor instantly reached her.
“Isn’t this Professor Wei and Professor Wang from the Empire Academy? It’s rare to see you here. How about finding a place to catch up?” The voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
The reason Chuzheng stopped was because of Empire Academy.
As the highest institution, Empire Academy indeed had quite a few enemies.
“Who wants to catch up with you.”
“Professor Wei, don’t say that. We’ll see each other at the upcoming mecha tournament.”
“…”
A mecha tournament…
Professor Wei, although distressed about the mecha department, believed every school had a weak spot. For Empire Academy, it happened to be the mecha department.
“Look at me, I forgot, Empire Academy was at the bottom again last year. Hey, I wonder, how your empire’s highest institution has such a weak mecha department?” The speaker emphasized the empire’s highest institution, clearly mocking.
“Miss Chuzheng, luckily you haven’t left yet.”
The auction staff hurried over.
Professor Wei heard but didn’t quite catch it.
He turned to look over there, seeing a young girl standing there, appearing quite young, seemingly not even an adult yet. However, she possessed a cold and dignified presence, her face slightly turned, revealing only a half-profile of her beautiful visage.
Professor Wei just wanted to go over, but was blocked by those provoking him.
By the time he got rid of those people, the ones over there had already disappeared.

Chuzheng looked at the person in front of her, Master Yin Er.
The Yin Family had been excellent for generations, either serving in the military or as business moguls.
However, Master Yin Er evidently had no intention of inheriting this fine trait, wanting only to be a playboy.
“Such a young girl?” Master Yin Er sized her up with a somewhat wanton gaze, but without much malice, it was more like curiosity.
This was the nouveau riche talked about in the circle.
Unexpectedly a girl, and quite young too.
No!
Precisely speaking, this wasn’t young.
This was little.
At most fifteen or sixteen years old.
“What do you want with me?” Chuzheng had no good disposition.
She had no intention of seeing this Master Yin Er, but Master Yin Er was really determined, blocking her way!
“Uh… that…” Master Yin Er sat up straight: “Can you sell me the Cloud-Patterned Crystal?”
“And why should I?”
Master Yin Er was choked: “I’ll pay for it.”
Transactions involve money and goods, why ask why?
“I’m not familiar with you.”
Chuzheng got up to leave.
Master Yin Er very unceremoniously blocked her way: “Come on, let’s talk some more, what do you want, just say!”
Chuzheng, fearing to touch him, stepped back slightly, thought for a moment: “I want to enter Empire Academy.”
“That’s not difficult.” Master Yin Er patted his chest: “I’ll take you in.”
Chuzheng’s face was cold: “I want to study there.” I don’t want to at all, but I have to go.
Master Yin Er: “…”
Empire Academy didn’t acknowledge relationships, only talent and strength.
Master Yin Er could ask his dad to write a recommendation letter.
But thinking of how eager his dad is to strangle him, Master Yin Er still thought it inappropriate.
“What’s so great about studying? You don’t lack money anyway.” Master Yin Er decided to convince Chuzheng: “Do you have any other conditions?”
“No.”
She had RN6 in her hand, and could go find that Professor Wei, she could absolutely enter the academy with it.
In fact, there was no need to listen to Master Yin Er’s nonsense here.
“…”
No way to continue the conversation.
Master Yin Er saw Chuzheng about to leave again, and rushed over: “Wait, I just remembered. Is it true that once you’re admitted to the academy, you’ll sell me the Cloud-Patterned Crystal?”
“…” Chuzheng was very generous: “I can give it to you.”
Master Yin Er: “…”
I used to think I was a playboy.
Now it seems I’m not playboy enough.
Shouldn’t let his dad see what a real playboy is!
Master Yin Er gritted his teeth: “Fine!”
Master Yin Er and Chuzheng exchanged contact information, then left in a hurry.
–
The news that Chuzheng acquired NR6 somehow leaked.
Just after Master Yin Er left, Chuzheng was surrounded by others coming one after another.
They were all from elite families, and their manners and etiquette were well-practiced, politely asking if she could sell it.
Chuzheng: “…”
Sell a damn thing!
I’d just spent the money, how could I earn it back?
Absolutely not!
Of course, when negotiations failed, some showed intentions to threaten.
Chuzheng, such a little brat, didn’t know where she came from, but with some money, what of it, in a place like the Main Star, without power, it’s impossible to take a step forward.
But the brat didn’t care a bit about their threats.
After being blocked by this group of people, Chuzheng slowly left, and as she reached the auction’s main entrance, another group of people came up from the other side.
The man walking in front was talking to someone, casually sweeping his eyes, but his gaze could not be pulled away.
Seeing Chuzheng about to step onto the revolving door, the man suddenly spoke: “Young lady, please wait a moment.”
Xiao Jiu turned to look: “Boss, it seems someone’s calling you.”
Chuzheng stopped, and the man strode over, his gaze glued to her, his eyes shocked yet complicated, with some disbelief.
“You… hello.” The man’s speech was somewhat stilted, the expression on the faces of the crowd behind him drastically changed.
The man also noticed the abnormality, lightly coughing: “Hello, may I be bold to ask the young lady’s name?”
Chuzheng knew who he was.
Xiao Jiu had thoroughly checked the Wun Family’s lineage previously.
This was Wun Qing, a member of the Wun Family.
“Chuzheng.”
“Your… your surname?”
“No surname.” Chuzheng’s eyes were cold: “Is there something you need?”
“No, no, it’s just that the young lady looks familiar, like an old acquaintance.”
Chuzheng didn’t respond.
Xie Wanwan didn’t look like her at all, the plot didn’t even explain how she was recognized and brought back.
Could it merely be the identity chip?
Don’t they check other things?
BUG!!
Chuzheng didn’t want to return to the Wun Family; she wouldn’t speak up, but if the Wun Family definitely sought her out, she wouldn’t deny it.
Chuzheng, cold and indifferent: “Oh.”
The scene was a bit awkward.
Wun Qing wanted to ask something more, but the people behind urged him on, seemingly due to lack of time.
By the time he finished listening, Chuzheng had already walked out of the revolving door, disappearing into the night color.
–
Chuzheng returned to her place, an apartment with a retro style, unlike the tech-laden landscapes outside.
The room wasn’t large, but the environment was nice.
There were only a few households, because the building wasn’t tall, Xiao Jiu ran ahead, then came scrambling back, face ashen: “Boss, a body.”
Chuzheng: “???…”
Chuzheng pulled Xiao Jiu over, went upstairs to look, the bloody scent slowly wafting over.
Chuzheng saw a corpse lying in the corridor, with blood on the floor.
However, apart from that, the entire corridor was very quiet, nothing strange.
Chuzheng approached, checked the breath, confirming death.
Xiao Jiu had seen dead people before, so he wasn’t too flustered: “Boss, what should we do?”
Chuzheng decided swiftly: “Act as if you didn’t see it.”
“Aren’t… aren’t we going to call the police?”
Call the police?
Call them for what!
This person wasn’t killed by us!
Chuzheng opened the door, pushed Xiao Jiu inside, and slammed the door shut.
