In the Royal Moon Pavilion

Xi Qiling said while processing official documents: I've already said the name won't be changed. Where's the information I want?

Here is the owner.

After hearing Xi Qiling's words, the woman next to her put a report on the desk.

Xi Qiling picked up the report, glanced at it, and said: ...I want the buyer's information.

This... I'm very sorry that there are several forces that are not within the scope of our intelligence network.

Xi Qiling: ...Then expand out. I'll provide the money and you'll decide the candidates...These little bugs are still there.

We are so sorry! Although we have spread the news, they think we are just bluffing... and they even think you are a fake person we are using to cover up the truth.

Xi Qiling: It’s really troublesome. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go out for a while.

At this moment, a message popped up on Xi Qiling's communication bracelet.

Xi Qiling pressed the button on the Bluetooth headset to answer the call.

Xi Qiling: Hello, Luo Xiaoyao?

Luo Xiaoyao: What else? Are you ready to talk about business now?

Xi Qiling: Not bad, wait for me to get my men out first.

Luo Xiaoyao: No need. This time it’s a business matter. You know the Lord of Stars, right?

Xi Qiling signaled his subordinates to stay and said: I just saw her a while ago. Could it be that she wants me to sponsor a martial arts performance by all the stars?

Luo Xiaoyao: That’s right. Due to some reasons, the Star Martial Arts Show had to be postponed, which led to some changes in investors.

Xi Qiling: ... Then what can I get? I trust you, but the Star Dragons are all naive. I have to ensure the benefits first.

Luo Xiaoyao: Wait, there are only two Star Dragons, right? How did you come to the conclusion that they are innocent?

Xi Qiling: Have you forgotten that I can see through people’s true nature?

Luo Xiaoyao: That’s right, but that’s not the point. The point is that she said she was willing to provide advertising space and help expand her influence.

Xi Qiling: ...This is a really big deal. Is this going to be a big trouble?

Luo Xiaoyao: It's okay. I can move around a bit and then I can come here. Master. Solved.

Xi Qiling: So how much?

Luo Xiaoyao: ...uh, the current minimum is 1.5 billion and the maximum is how much.

Xi Qiling sighed and said: You are really unprofessional. Currently, the highest Jiuzhao is the property of the Lord of the Stars in the Starry Sky Courtyard. In this case, I will leave Yijing. I hope she understands what this means.

Luo Xiaoyao: Don't worry, I'm almost scared to tears. After all, it's not strange that the Star Martial Arts Show will be postponed. The current period is just an estimate. Even if it is postponed, there will be some minor complaints, but they are all acceptable.

Xi Qiling: Never mind. I do have the money anyway, and if I exaggerate it slowly, who knows how much money and time it will take. In this way, I will actually make money.

Luo Xiaoyao: I’ll send you the contract after it’s done.

Xi Qiling: Okay, then I will continue to be busy here.

Luo Xiaoyao: See you after you understand that.

Xi Qiling: ...Things are much more complicated than I thought. Please help me prepare a huge number of people and we will start working immediately after the negotiation is completed.

Mimi blushed and said shyly: "Then can you please stop calling me by my nickname? I am the butler after all..."

Xi Qiling smiled and said: Oh, that cute little girl has now become a graceful and beautiful lady.

Mimi: The head of the family!

Xi Qiling: Hahaha, okay I won’t bother you anymore. We still have things to do next. You follow my orders. I want to go to the scene to take a look.

Mimi: OK!

At this time, in the palace in the starry sky

Luo Xiaoyao clapped his hands and said: Congratulations, this money is enough for a long time, and can you cheer up a little? This is not acceptable for the Lord of the Stars.

Ziwei Xingxiu lay weakly on the table and said: But it’s so much money!

Luo Xiaoyao: ...It shouldn’t be difficult for you to come up with this little money, right?

Ziwei Xingxiu: Of course it’s more than that, but it doesn’t mean you can just take it! This is not a small amount of money!

Luo Xiaoyao: But the money spent on the Star Martial Arts Show is much more than this, right?

Ziwei Xingxiu: That’s right. For the sake of safety, the venue for the martial arts competition was of very high quality. The cost of materials alone was nearly ten times the original cost. Add to that the cost of craftsmen, etc. It did cost a lot. But this is the result of more than a hundred years of hard work!

Luo Xiaoyao: Okay, okay, calm down. Let me make it clear first that I won’t stay here forever. I have other things to do later.

Ziwei Xingxiu: I know I will inform you if there is anything.

Luo Xiaoyao: That would be the best. Anyway, you should have a good rest and prepare to sign the contract with Xi Qiling. I have to leave first... I don’t know if those three girls are still alive.

After saying that, Luo Xiaoyao opened the space door and left.

Only the distressed Ziwei Xingxiu was left behind to assist with the contract.

Just when the contract was halfway written, Ziwei Xingxiu thought of it this time.

Ziwei Xingxiu: ...Oops, I forgot to ask if the other party is okay to talk! Looks like I really need to take a good rest.

At this moment, in the small world of the end

Luo Yuan said to Chu Yunqi while deflecting Shen Yanyan's attack.

Luo Yuan: I mean, will this really work? Even if you don't pin Xiaoyan down, she still can't beat me.

Chu Yunqi: Stop talking nonsense. You have free time anyway, don’t you?

Luo Yuan controlled the phone with one hand and said: I can concentrate on playing games instead of being distracted by Xiaoyan.

At this time, Shen Yanyan was tied to a tree with iron chains and had been subjected to more than a hundred negative effects by Chu Yunqi.

Shen Yanyan: ...You guys really go too far!

Chu Yunqi: Come on, if you don’t break free within an hour I will replace you with a tortoise shell... Hey, it won’t hurt to say this!

As she spoke, Chu Yunqi glared at Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan said while shooting: It’s better to be careful. Also, I will need to leave the training later for something, so you can figure it out yourself.

Chu Yunqi: It’s okay, it’s not difficult anyway.

Luo Yuan pressed the settlement button and said: But is this really useful?

Chu Yunqi: Don’t worry, it will definitely be useful, but it will take time. But Xiu would rather she doesn’t have to go back to work, so he has plenty of time.

Shen Yanyan:…….

Luo Yuan: Then I’ll leave first!

After saying that, Luo Yuan opened the space door and left.

Meanwhile in the workshop

Zhu Rongnian is making a glass bottle.

Zhu Rongnian observed the cooling product and said: Well, that's it!

Zhi Qianshang picked up the glass bottle and said: You are worthy of being my brother. This won’t break even if it is hit by a bullet.

Zhu Rongnian: During the production process, I adjusted the shape of some patterns so that even if it is impacted, it will be fine considering the strength of the material. Who said that blacksmithing does not require mathematics and physics!

Zhi Qianshang adjusted the pattern on the design and said: But your math always flies low.

Zhu Rongnian: You are good at math because you spend more time on the computer than on mental arithmetic... Hey, hey, how do you do it?

Zhi Qianshang put down her weapon and said with gritted teeth: This is why you can't find a partner!

Zhu Rongnian shook his head and said: Even if I could, I wouldn’t bother myself to death!

Zhi Qianshang: ...Well, is there something going on in the group?

Just when Zhi Qianshang was about to say something, several messages popped up on the communication bracelet on her hand.

Zhi Qianshang took a look and said quickly: ...Brother, look!

Zhu Rong thought: What the hell? You are so nervous.

As he spoke, Zhu Rongnian opened the group and looked at the content inside.

Feng Xiaoyu: @洛逍遥喂洛逍遥 The culprit was found. An old hen had seen me use that weapon to injure Xiaoxing before. I also found the information about the buyer, which was Guangyao Garden.

Luo Xiaoyao: What's going on? Guangyao Garden is one of the sponsors. They are even the ones who care the most about the Stars Martial Arts Performance. You know, the Stars Martial Arts Performance must be hosted by the Lord of the Stars.

Luo Mengli: What exactly is this martial arts performance by all the stars? Why is it so grand?

Luo Xiaoyao: The Stars Martial Arts Show is about utilizing the energy generated by the emotions and wishes of the audience and contestants as energy to perform a spell that distorts cause and effect.

Chu Yunqi: If you want to use these as energy, you need enough people and something that can gather these energies, otherwise these energies will quickly dissipate.

Luo Xiaoyao: That’s why it took more than a hundred years to prepare!

Anna: Distorting cause and effect? ​​This involves changing fate.

Luo Xiaoyao: That’s why it’s troublesome. But I don’t understand why the members of the Glorious Garden are made up of a single race of gods. Because their fertility is gradually declining, in order to avoid genocide, they participated in the Star Martial Arts Games to try to change this situation.

Chu Yunqi: Can this star martial arts performance only be hosted by the Lord of the Stars?

Luo Xiaoyao: Because she is the only one who can mobilize the stars in the entire universe to form the key magic circle for the ritual, so I don’t understand why they would do such a thing. If they were planning to get rid of others to gain greater power, I could understand it, but to attack the Lord of the Stars? I don’t understand.

Anna: Xiaoyao, are you sure you know the whole situation of this star performance?

Luo Xiaoyao: Of course, I am one of the organizers. If it weren’t for the resources I provided, it would have taken them hundreds of years. Is there any problem?

Anna: Yunqi, do you think I can do it if I'm with you?

Chu Yunqi: ...It is difficult. Even if I can gather the energy to you with almost no loss, it is still difficult to change the fate of so many races and forces.

Anna: What about adding the end?

Chu Yunqi: ...Using the End first to destroy the predetermined fate can indeed increase the success rate.

Chu Yunqi: ...Wait, you mean the people who got that little girl out and are causing trouble now might be the same group of people?

Anna: Yunqi is worthy of being able to understand what I mean.

Luo Xiaoyao: Wait a moment, I will go ask the Lord of Stars.

Chu Yunqi: Anna, what do you think?

Anna: It is not difficult for me to change my destiny, but just like a miracle, it requires a price. Of course, if I had the World's Instrument now, I would be able to minimize the price as much as possible, but it is still not as good as the direct destruction of the End.

Chu Yunqi: But after their fate is finally destroyed, they are not far from destruction.

Anna: But if they could connect to another destiny, there wouldn't be this problem.

Chu Yunqi: Can you do it?

Anna: Yes, but the cost is hard to say. It may lead to a worse fate for them, but most people don’t know this.

Chu Yunqi: That is to say, they naively believe that as long as they use the end to destroy their original destiny, they can replace it with the destiny they want at will.

Anna: It may not be that simple, but it doesn’t matter. As long as we can destroy the enemy, it will be fine.

Chu Yunqi: That’s right.

Luo Xiaoyao: I have already arrived at the Lord of Stars. We are now looking for relevant information, but the amount is too much and it will take time.

Anna: Then just take your time, it won’t be enough anyway. By the way, speaking of Xi Qiling.

Xi Qiling: I’m here. I’ve also discovered that the kingdom of God that was destroyed by Lin Changye was actually an organization similar to a processing plant. Many kingdoms of God have asked them to make things.

Lin Changye: I went in through the space gate of the enemy that attacked Yi Sheng and the others, and I followed the rules to persuade them to surrender first. However, the enemy attacked me directly and used some evil magic, so I had to take action.

Xi Qiling: Not even a word?

Lin Changye: Is it okay to be completely inexplicable? But it seems that they are like this because they saw the end.

Li Yisheng: That means they know the end?

Lin Changye: Probably?

Chu Yunqi: If that’s the case, then the evil magic was most likely used to deliberately kill everyone in order to silence them.

Xi Qiling: How many people are there who are quite generous?

Lin Changye: I don’t know how many, but there are at least several hundred people in front of me alone.

Chu Yunqi: It seems that we have encountered guys of a higher level. However, the fact that they can do such a thing shows that they are not united.

Xi Qiling: It could also be brainwashing or the interests behind it are worth it for them to do so.

Lin Changye: But destiny cannot be changed just because you want to.

Anna: But without me, who among you would know the truth about fate?

Lin Changye: After all, you are the strongest saint in the history of dozens of eras, and which saint would kill the will of the world?

Anna: Ji Qianhua has also killed people, and I don’t think I did anything wrong.

Lin Changye: Yes, yes, yes. By the way, where did Xiao Mingqin and the others go? Why did it take so long to buy groceries?

Li Yisheng: He definitely doesn’t need it if he’s alone, but if Fang Mengtie follows him, he’ll probably be dragged around everywhere.

At this time, in a supermarket chain

Xiao Mingqin looked at the clerk in dumbfoundedness and said: There’s nothing here either?

The clerk said helplessly: Yes, sir, you are not the first person to ask, but almost no store has the same salt.

Xiao Mingqin: Oh, I see. Thank you for your hard work. If anyone else asks about it, just put up a sign saying it’s out of stock. I’ll go to our store and ask.

Oh okay!

Then Xiao Mingqin walked out of the supermarket and met Fang Mengtie, who was outside wearing sunglasses and drinking a drink.

Fang Mengtie: Still no?

Xiao Mingqin: Yes, it’s no wonder that my family’s industry rarely has this kind of shortage situation. I’m afraid there is a problem with the place of origin.

Fang Mengtie: What should we do now?

Xiao Mingqin: I'll call and ask our relatives. If there really is a problem with the place of origin, we should go there in person.

Fang Mengtie: I understand.

Xiao Mingqin made a phone call, but unlike what he expected, the call was not picked up immediately. Just after the call was connected, a tired male voice came out.

Hey son, why are you calling me suddenly? Are you going hunting in some deserted area? Now is not the time.

Xiao Mingqin: Compared to this, your voice doesn’t sound very good, Dad.

It's okay, I just didn't eat enough. There's nothing I can do. This year's runaway happened earlier than usual and several places of origin were attacked by star beasts before they could react. Fortunately, the resources have arrived and no casualties were caused, but it takes a lot of manpower and time to deal with those star beasts.

Xiao Mingqin: What about the Stulli Salt Mine?

...were surrounded. Fortunately, there were mainly machine mining and not many workers, and the specialty pickled foods and emergency foods were enough to sustain them for a while.

Xiao Mingqin: No wonder I went to five stores but couldn't find it... Should I go there in person with my friend? Just get rid of the star beast?

Yes, but there are a lot of star beasts over there! Don't mess around!

Xiao Mingqin: It's okay. After all, the more ingredients, the better. Anyway, leave it to us! You just need to ask someone to take care of it.

After saying that, Xiao Mingqin hung up the phone and looked at Fang Mengtie and said.

Xiao Mingqin: Let’s go directly to the place of origin and buy some pickled foods.

Fang Mengtie threw the empty bottle into the trash can and said: Okay, let me open the door.
