Chapter 42: The county town's cost of living is too low, there's too much money to spend,
Alice, clutching her crooked bamboo basket, pouted and grumbled about the troubles of not being able to spend the 10 billion dollars.
Lin Xian lay on the rocking chair, opened the azure blue virtual panel, and glanced at his system account balance.
The long string of zeros was densely packed on the holographic screen, stretching all the way to the edge of the field of vision.
He scratched his messy hair and realized that what the Western European girl said did make some sense.
In a small, obscure place like Qingshui County, prices are already incredibly low.
Even if he gave gold bricks to everyone in the village every day and bought all the houses in town to burn as firewood, he still wouldn't spend even a fraction of the money in his account.
Life is too mundane, and having money but not being able to spend it has indeed become a sweet burden.
Su Qinghan walked over with a glass of iced lemonade, just in time to hear Alice's complaints.
She placed the glass on the anti-corrosion wooden table, and the ice cubes made a crisp sound as they hit the glass.
Su Qinghan brushed a stray hair behind her ear and suggested that they have a few private jets transferred from Shanghai.
She thought she could take everyone to the luxury shopping streets of Europe to go on a shopping spree, or to take pictures of some diamond necklaces to pass the time.
Chu Yiyi, who was biting into a mutated apple, suddenly brightened up and joined in the discussion about buying a few luxury yachts to go surfing.
Lin Xian rolled his eyes in disdain, showing no interest whatsoever in these luxuries that ordinary people considered luxury goods.
Private jets and yachts are nothing special; they're just scrap metal used by nouveau riche to show off.
If we're going to entertain everyone, then we need to bring out some real stuff that spans the interstellar era.
His fingers flew across the holographic screen, skipping over the ordinary civilian technology blueprints.
My gaze traveled downwards, finally settling on the ultimate military module section at the very bottom of the system store.
An option flashing red appeared on the page: Near Earth Orbit Star Destroyer, priced at 10 billion comfort points per unit.
The product details state that the ship's hull is constructed using dark matter armor and is equipped with a star-destroying main cannon and a space folding jump engine.
This is a truly hardcore mode of transportation; driving it out to buy cabbage will definitely turn heads.
Lin Xian didn't even glance at his sky-high balance, and casually dragged the slider for the amount to be exchanged to ten.
The system's crisp electronic notification sound instantly echoed deep within his mind.
Payment successful. Ten near-Earth orbit star destroyers have been deployed and are now forcibly opening a space delivery channel for you.
Lin Xian stretched contentedly and waved to the girls in the courtyard.
Forget about buying that crappy yacht, I just ordered a new car for each of you online.
Same-city delivery is expected to arrive at your door soon, and it will be more spacious than any other mode of transportation you've ever seen.
Xia Anran curiously leaned closer, her large, almond-shaped eyes filled with innocence and anticipation.
Brother Xian, is it one of those four-wheeled convertible sports cars? I haven't even passed my written driving test yet.
Lin Xian pinched her soft cheek; it felt like a freshly baked peach daifuku.
No need to take a driving test, this thing comes with a fully automatic quantum artificial intelligence driving system, you can just lie inside and drink tea.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the clouds above the manor, thousands of meters above the ground, began to churn and boil violently.
The once clear blue sky instantly darkened, as if an invisible giant hand of the starry sky had torn apart the curtain of the heavens.
A heavy sense of oppression descended from the sky, and the air pressure made even breathing heavy.
Ma Hualong was patrolling the entrance with an electric baton when he looked up at the sky, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the cement ground.
Ye Xiu rushed out of the underground server room carrying his tablet, not even bothering to pick up one of his slippers that flew off his feet.
The thick clouds were forcibly torn open by ten giant, dark blue beams of gravitational pull.
Ten enormous steel behemoths, as large as mountains, slowly emerged from the shattered spatial rifts, their cold bows protruding.
The streamlined dark matter armor refracted a chilling, cold, eerie light in the remaining sunlight.
The massive ship, stretching for several kilometers, completely blocked out the sky over the entire Qingshui County, casting large swaths of shadow on the ground.
The sides of the ship are densely packed with plasma secondary gun arrays, and the muzzles of the main guns are flashing with a destructive crimson light.
This is no ordinary mode of transportation; it is an interstellar war machine capable of instantly blasting a small planet into cosmic dust.
Ten Star Destroyers, in a formation resembling wild geese, slowly descended with a low-frequency roar that seemed to crush everything in its path.
They hovered steadily on the exclusive helipad that the system had just expanded behind the manor.
The massive plasma tail flame sent pink petals flying wildly through the air.
The intense jolt left everyone frozen in place, their brains going into a complete malfunction.
Su Qinghan's hand trembled, and the glass on the table was knocked off by the back of her hand, shattering into dozens of sparkling fragments on the anti-corrosion wooden floor.
Her usually cold and aloof face, which remained unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain, was now filled with a look of utter shock, as if she had seen a ghost.
Alice dropped the mutated apple from her hand onto the lawn, where it rolled a long way down the slope, her emerald-like eyes wide with disbelief.
Touching the black gold bank card containing ten billion US dollars in her pocket, she suddenly felt like a complete penniless country bumpkin.
Even if you sold the entire Western European royal family, you still couldn't afford a single high-strength explosion-proof screw on this interstellar warship.
Tang Wu and Zhong Xiaoai, these two female mad scientists, went completely mad.
Tang Wu scrambled and crawled toward the tarmac, her cheek pressed tightly against the cold alloy struts of the Star Destroyer's landing gear.
Zhong Xiaoai held the tape measure and notebook, her fingers trembling with excitement. She didn't even notice when the notebook fell to the ground and was stepped on, leaving two dirty shoe prints.
Dark matter anti-damage armor, cold fusion perpetual motion reactor, anti-gravity vector light speed engine.
What kind of cutting-edge technology is this? Even just scraping off a bit of paint for testing could propel our country's technology forward by 500 years!
The group of old men from the National Academy of Sciences were all kneeling in a row outside the gate, kowtowing frantically to the warships in the sky.
With tears streaming down his face, Academician Li snapped his precious rosewood cane in two.
Thank God! Before I die, I actually got to touch a real interstellar warship!
Has the Idle God completely looted the lair of the higher-dimensional aliens?
Zhou Bapi and his security team stood ramrod straight, their backs as upright as javelins, their faces filled with fanatical pride and self-satisfaction.
Being able to work as a security guard at a manor with a Star Destroyer fleet is an impressive resume that would make you practically invincible at the United Nations.
The villagers of Qingshui County at the foot of the mountain all ran into the streets to worship the ten enormous figures in the sky.
Village chief Wang Fugui opened his mouth wide, not even feeling the burning tobacco in his pipe reaching his eyebrows.
Lin Xian, wearing flip-flops, slowly walked up to the group of steel behemoths.
He pulled ten futuristic-looking crystal identification keys from his beach shorts pocket and tossed them around in his hand.
Then, just like handing out shared bicycle keys at the village entrance, he casually tossed the crystals to the girls who were still in a daze.
Why are you all just standing there like idiots? Everyone pick one that looks good, and we'll drive it when we go out to buy groceries, saving us the trouble of walking.
Xia Anran held the crystal key, which emitted a bright blue light, in both hands, feeling that it was hotter than a thousand-pound iron block.
She swallowed a mouthful of sweet-tasting saliva and carefully walked to the nearest pink-painted warship.
Hey bro, isn't this car a bit too big? You'll get a parking ticket if you park it in front of the supermarket when you go grocery shopping.
Lin Xian was amused by the silly girl's words and reached out to ruffle her carefully styled bun.
This thing comes with built-in optical camouflage and spatial folding technology, so even if you park it on someone else's roof, the traffic police won't be able to issue a ticket.
Holding the key, Chu Yiyi was so excited that she did two somersaults on the spot, causing the hem of her expensive long dress to fly high.
Back when she was in the entertainment industry, those investors could brag about owning a secondhand helicopter at drinking parties.
Lin Xian has now given her a Star Destroyer as a toy; you won't find another one like him in the entire universe.
Shen Youran, wearing her little leather shoes, excitedly ran around the warship's landing gear, her little face flushed with excitement.
Yan Guhong was still holding a boning knife for cutting vegetables in his hand. Looking at the huge naval cannon, he was already calculating how quickly he could roast a wild boar with that cannon.
Mu Qingxue took the key, took a deep breath of the floral-scented air, and forced her wildly beating heart to calm down.
She now fully understands that the money in Lin Xian's account can no longer be measured in Earth's currency; it is the power of a creator who controls the rules of the universe.
Helen cheered loudly in broken Chinese, frantically showing off the captain's binding key in her hand to the mutated parrot.
The mutated parrot flapped its iridescent wings and uttered a classic Chinese curse in a perfect London accent.
The girls excitedly surrounded Lin Xian, chattering about what color to repaint their personal warship.
Some said they wanted to spray paint their Hello Kitty in a super cute pink color, while others said they wanted to draw a big Pikachu.
If a higher-dimensional alien civilization knew that these girls were going to completely transform war machines into cartoon-style itasha (decorated cars), they would probably die of fright on the spot.
Lin Xian leaned against the warship's landing gear, yawned, and felt that the money was well spent; at least his ears were much quieter.
He prepared to close his eyes and comfortably nap against the cool dark matter armor.
Xia Anran mustered her courage, stretched out her fair little hand, and gently touched the cold, smooth metal armor on the outside of the warship.
The instant her fingertips touched the hull of the ship.
The massive Star Destroyer's main control radar was suddenly forcibly activated from its dormant state.
A blinding red warning halo suddenly lit up above the bridge, turning the surrounding peach trees a blood-red hue.
A rapid anti-aircraft alarm sounded from inside the ship, the sound piercing the sky and making everyone's heart skip a beat.
A huge holographic tactical map automatically pops up on the main control screen.
At the edge of the map, dozens of red dots representing high-risk armed targets are lined up in a dense, long snake formation.
This heavily armed convoy, exuding undisguised menacing aura, was speeding down the highway, its destination the boundary marker of Qingshui County.
