Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: Star Era Guide (7)

The security guard hadn’t finished speaking when Professor Wei’s face changed: ”What’s her name?”

”??” The security guard was confused: ”I... didn’t ask.”

Professor Wei: ”You let her leave without looking at her letter of recommendation?”

The security guard felt uneasy: ”She didn’t show it to me either...”

After he spoke, the young girl left on her own.

Professor Wei rubbed his temples: ”Go after her! Forget it, I’ll go myself.”

However, by the time Professor Wei caught up, there was no one to be found.

Professor Wei returned with a grim expression, and the security guard was very uneasy: ”Professor Wei, do you think she really had the principal’s recommendation letter?”

If she did have the recommendation letter, he would be done for.

”Next time she comes, notify me immediately.” Professor Wei instructed the security guard.

Professor Wei still felt something was off, so he asked the security guard to pull up the footage from the academy’s entrance and have someone investigate where the person lives.

Not long ago, he had received a message from the principal saying that someone would come to the academy with his recommendation letter, and that he should keep an eye out.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped right at the entrance.

Professor Wei only felt a headache.

-

While Professor Wei was searching for someone, Xiao Jiu had already returned to the place they were temporarily staying.

”I told you that person was a fraud.” Xiao Jiu said, ”Boss, you’re just too naive.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

That old man looked a bit pitiful, but the aura he instantaneously released earlier didn’t seem like that of an ordinary person.

Could it be that she was really deceived?!

Chuzheng doubted herself for a moment, her fingers scraping the edge of the table as she sternly and calmly said: ”Just trying it out, it’s fine if it doesn’t work.”

Even if deceived, she mustn’t let it show.

Xiao Jiu feared saying anything that might discourage her young boss.

”Boss, are you still planning to enter the Academy?”

She had inquired a bit, Empire Academy was difficult to get into.

The admissions cycle is every three years, which just ended, and it’s said the rejected applicants could hold hands and circle the Main Star.

”Why not?” Chuzheng released her grip on the table edge and tapped the table lightly.

”Then... how do we get in? Do we have to wait for three years?”

Chuzheng slightly bowed her head, appearing to ponder.

”Climb over the wall?”

”...”

Boss, are you serious?

That’s the Empire’s highest academy!

How could you possibly climb over the wall!

Xiao Jiu took a deep breath: ”Boss, I saw the academy has an Energy Shield, there’s no wall for you to climb.” Just give up!

Energy Shield?

Energy Shields require energy to maintain, usually activated only during danger, is Empire Academy really that rich?

Chuzheng rubbed her chin, pondering: ”Do you think Empire Academy lacks money?”

Xiao Jiu: ”...”

Even if Empire Academy lacked money, Chuzheng wanting to throw money at them wouldn’t be just a small sum.

So the rumor spread gradually among the wealthy circles on the Main Star.

No one knew where this new rich person came from, generously spending money and appearing at all sorts of venues with their extravagant flair.

And on the Main Star, the best place for lavish spending is the auction house.

An auction is held here every week.

The items up for bid are all premium goods, with prices often reaching tens of millions.

Chuzheng had also become a regular here.

”It’s a young lady.”

”What lady, it’s clearly a man, they say he’s quite good-looking.”

”What’s the name? Why haven’t I heard anyone mention it?”

”Don’t know.”

”What’s there to be curious about, just a nouveau riche.” Some showed disdain.

”Don’t be bitter, this one’s for real. Last time, she auctioned off that Cloud-Patterned Crystal, do you know what the final price was?”

Someone immediately asked curiously: ”How much?”

”A hundred million!”

The crowd gasped faintly.

The Cloud-Patterned Crystal isn’t worth that much.

”Is that person coming today?” They wanted to see the nouveau riche’s extravagant spending.

It’s hard not to be envious.

Nouveau riche can spend freely; they cannot.

They possess the body of a highborn but not the fate of one.

”No idea, but I’ve heard there’s Spirit Restoration Liquid today.”

”Spirit Restoration Liquid? Really?”

Once spiritual power is damaged, it’s hard to recover, but Spirit Restoration Liquid helps.

However, Spirit Restoration Liquid is rare, perhaps one bottle appearing in several years.

If it appears, it will surely cause a stir.

People even without damaged spiritual power would acquire it just in case.

”That’s what I’ve heard, but it may be true. Look, look at the people attending today...”

Everyone glanced around and indeed saw many top-tier figures in the elite pyramid.

-

Chuzheng led Xiao Jiu, familiarly entering the auction hall.

Xiao Jiu didn’t wear a girl’s dress, but instead wore a sharp little suit, topped with a stylish hat, stepping in small leather shoes, and after some training, had gained a noticeable demeanor.

Xiao Jiu: ”...”

No!

I don’t have it!

I’m very weak!

Only God knows how she got through this period.

Sometimes Xiao Jiu feared that upon waking, she’d still be lying in a filthy basement, facing uncertain tomorrows.

”Miss Chuzheng.” The auction staff all recognized Chuzheng, smiling: ”You’ve arrived.”

The nouveau riche is here to squander again!

Tonight’s commission will definitely double!

The auction staff were naturally pleased.

”Mm.” Chuzheng maintained her aloof demeanor.

”I’ll take you over, it’s the same room reserved for you.” The staff said.

Chuzheng didn’t refuse.

Xiao Jiu no longer glanced around curiously as before, obediently following Chuzheng, sitting when Chuzheng said to, staying silent when told.

She perfectly embodied submission.

During this time, she also noticed.

This person was far from naive or innocent.

Absolutely not!

In the beginning, with Chuzheng being so high-profile, naturally there were malicious individuals attempting trouble.

She showed nothing outwardly, even too lazy to respond, appearing magnanimous like some aloof titular figure.

Displaying a vibe of ’I’m a big deal, I need class, I’m not wasting time squabbling with you’ and ’Who do you think you are, I don’t even bother looking at you’.

But...

But turning away, the aloof figure targets the troublemaker when alone, thrashing them until their parents couldn’t recognize them.

Defining vengeful.

”If you need anything, ring the bell.”

Chuzheng nodded expressionlessly.

The auction staff turned to leave, walked a few steps, then remembered something, and returned: ”Right, Miss Chuzheng, Master Yin Er of the Yin Family wishes to buy the Cloud-Patterned Crystal you auctioned last time, and hopes to meet you. If convenient, may I convey a response to Master Yin Er?”

”Who is he?”

The auction staff: ”...”

Without knowing she really didn’t recognize him, some might suspect she was deliberately disregarding.

”Master Yin Er’s father is the Marshal of Empire’s Seventh Corps.”

Chuzheng responded coldly: ”I don’t know him, won’t meet.”

”Miss Chuzheng... Perhaps meeting won’t hurt, no need provoking?” The auction staff advised, hoping for a successful introduction—there are benefits, of course, and tactfully meeting someone is better than outright refusal.

Chuzheng shot him a sideways glance and said nothing.

The auction staff didn’t know the meaning, hesitated to ask.

The young lady seemed a bit frightening with her frosty demeanor.
