Chapter 194 The Torch Star Bead

Jiang Xiao tidied up his room, changed his clothes, put on a thick white down jacket, and took a taxi to Ruifeng Commercial Bank.

Since it was daytime, Jiang Xiao didn't dare to drive Er Wei's car. He was still quite afraid of being stopped by the traffic police.

If he really got caught, it would be a big joke. Although Jiang Xiao was an experienced driver, this body was only a 16-year-old kid.

Underage driving without a license, even if it's a first offense and he avoids detention, he would still have to pay a fine, right?

For Jiang Xiao, a fine would be the end of him.

A fine of 200 yuan would make him hurt for a week.

A fine of 2,000 yuan would be the death of him...

It was still more convenient to take a taxi. Alas, Jiangbin City's development was still a bit behind the second-tier cities in the South. At least the subway lines didn't cover the entire city.

Squeezing onto the bus would be too much of a waste of time. Jiang Xiao still wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep.

Otherwise, after returning, he would talk to Er Wei and take another day off at home tomorrow?

Jiang Xiao also knew that his time was tight, but he was really tired. The feeling of physical and mental exhaustion was hard to describe.

Jiangbin City, Dongcheng District, Ruifeng Commercial Bank.

Jiang Xiao got out of the taxi, but he was taken aback by the small sign of Ruifeng Commercial Bank.

Such a famous commercial bank, with such a small storefront?

At the entrance, two tall girls were chatting about something. When Han Jiangxue saw Jiang Xiao, she waved at him.

Jiang Xiao quickly walked over, but felt that Xia Yan's gaze was a little strange.

Jiang Xiao secretly became vigilant, carefully came to Han Jiangxue's side, and then, Xia Yan kicked over: "You've got a nerve! Daring to hang up on me!"

Footwork~ Footwork~

Jiang Xiao nimbly dodged, avoiding Xia Yan's first two kicks.

As expected,

Big Sister still loves me,

Xia Yan's third kick didn't come out, and she was stopped by Han Jiangxue.

Xia Yan looked indignant and glared at Jiang Xiao fiercely.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, not knowing whether Xia Yan's embarrassment turned to anger because he hung up the phone, or because of the sentence "I love you too."

"The Star Beads we seized in the armory have already been sold." Han Jiangxue said, "Fifty thousand."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Fifty thousand yuan?"

"Yeah, a total of forty-eight thousand seven hundred, plus a few low-level Savage Star Beads, the commercial bank gave us a round number." Han Jiangxue nodded.

"Wow, we're rich." Jiang Xiao rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Hehe." Xia Yan sneered, looked at Jiang Xiao, and said, "Fifty thousand yuan, not even enough for an armory ticket."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

What does it have to do with a ticket? Anyway, the school pays for it.

Jiang Xiao asked, "How did you sell them?"

Han Jiangxue didn't want to say it, but looking at Jiang Xiao's curious appearance, she patiently explained: "The male swordsman, male gunner, and female archer totaled 27 Star Beads, with a recycling price of 600 each. 13 Ape-Ghoul Star Beads, with a recycling price of 2,500 each. The remaining scattered Savage Star Beads, the commercial bank gave us a round number, totaling fifty thousand."

"Silver-grade Female Archer Star Beads, 600 each..." Jiang Xiao said rather helplessly.

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "The recycling price is of course lower than the selling price. Star Beads like the male swordsman and female archer don't have a big market in Beijiang. The Abomination effect is too low. Compared to Fangs and Claws, people prefer the Cyan Glow and Endurance of the White Ghoul."

Xia Yan defended Han Jiangxue from the side and explained, "Although they are silver-grade Star Beads, the Star Techniques they contain are all bronze-grade. In terms of effectiveness, they are not as good as the bronze Star Beads of the White Ghoul."

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Ape-Ghoul Star Beads are recycled at 2,500 each?"

Han Jiangxue said, "This recycling price is already very good."

Jiang Xiao: "Logically speaking, Berserk and Trauma are both very powerful, right?"

Xia Yan snorted and said, "Berserk is a suicide-type Star Technique, not as popular as you think. The Ape-Ghoul Star Beads can sell for such a high price entirely because of Trauma."

Jiang Xiao spread his hands helplessly and said, "What's the next step?"

Han Jiangxue said, "When the money arrives, we'll divide all the proceeds into two shares and transfer them to Li Weiyi and Xia Yan. Let's find a place to have a good chat first."

"Hey, don't give it all to us. Keep some for yourself." Xia Yan hurriedly looked at Jiang Xiao, signaling him to persuade Han Jiangxue.

Xia Yan obviously didn't care about the tens of thousands of yuan split, it was nothing to her, but for the siblings, this money could improve their living standards.

Jiang Xiao thought about it again and again, and then came back to his senses, looking at Xia Yan and said, "My sister and I absorbed a large number of Savage Sorcerer Star Beads in the armory. These should have been common property of the team. What my sister said is right."

Seeing Han Jiangxue's gratified eyes, Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "It's not enough to give all this money to you and Li Weiyi. We still have to pay extra."

Han Jiangxue: ???

Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yan affectionately and said, "The money is gone, miss, I'll pay with my body."

Xia Yan took Han Jiangxue's arm and retorted, "Your sister is here, it's not your turn to pay with your body."

Han Jiangxue's expression was extremely wonderful, she turned her head and looked at Xia Yan with a shocked expression.

Xia Yan's expression changed, she smiled obsequiously, and said in a low voice, "I'm kidding, Xuexue, I'm just kidding with Little Pi, talking nonsense."

Han Jiangxue bent a finger and tapped Xia Yan's forehead lightly, blaming, "What messy things are you thinking about in your head."

"Mmm~" Xia Yan covered her forehead with one hand, her big eyes blinked, and she looked at Han Jiangxue aggrievedly, but under the gaze of the other party's blaming eyes, she forcibly didn't dare to speak.

"Uh, then you go back, give me the knife now?" Jiang Xiao asked tentatively. His wooden giant blade was still in Han Jiangxue's Shattered Space. He came to Han Jiangxue to get the knife.

"No hurry, let's find a place to talk first." Han Jiangxue looked around and took the lead.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan's hand loosened slightly, did not take Han Jiangxue forward, but fell behind and walked with Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao looked wary and said, "What are you going to do?"

Xia Yan slapped Jiang Xiao's shoulder angrily and said, "Your sister is in front, what can I do? You little guy, help me persuade your sister, she's already in the Nebula stage, and she still only has five Star Techniques. I'm thinking of buying her a magic-type output Star Bead, but you know her temper, she just doesn't agree, like a stubborn donkey."

The corners of Jiang Xiao's mouth twitched awkwardly. It was best not to let Han Jiangxue hear this description.

But then again, Xia Yan was right.

So far, Han Jiangxue only had 5 Star Techniques. The last time the siblings rescued Xia Yan's life in the snowfield, the head of the family, Xia Shanhai, gave the siblings two Star Beads. After Jiang Xiao persuaded her, the siblings accepted one of the Blue Crown Star Beads.

In other words, Han Jiangxue had a gold-grade magic-type output Star Bead in her hand.

But she was only in the Nebula stage, and there was only one Blue Crown Star Bead. If she wanted to absorb this Star Technique, she would have a greater chance of success if she absorbed it when she reached the Star River stage.

And the Provincial League was just around the corner, and Han Jiangxue did lack a magic-type Star Technique with output.

Han Jiangxue's personal Star Chart seemed to be more resistant to the Savage Sorcerer's "Corpse Spirit" and "Corpse Explosion". With her amazing talent, she had absorbed three Savage Sorcerer Star Beads in a row without obtaining a Star Technique.

Xia Yan nagged from the side, "She always thinks that I give her too many things, but she doesn't think about how much she has helped me. Not to mention anything else, how did I break through the middle stage of the Nebula? Wasn't it because she gave me an extra Mercenary Star Bead?"

Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yan speechlessly. Strictly speaking, that Star Bead belonged to Jiang Xiao, but Jiang Xiao kept it for Han Jiangxue to use to break through the late stage of the Nebula.

Xia Yan continued, "Including this split, although we are a team, those Sorcerer Star Beads were all obtained by her lying on the cliff and purely relying on her own strength to sneak attacks. We didn't help at all, but she counted all the benefits on everyone on the team."

Jiang Xiao said at the right time: "We are indeed a team."

Xia Yan stomped her feet and said, "I just want to buy her a magic-type output Star Bead. Thinking from another perspective, I'm also doing it for the team. She just doesn't agree, and I'm afraid of making her angry. Aiya, it's annoying, go and persuade her for me."

Oh my goodness, this is terrible...

You're afraid of making her angry?

What about your arrogant and domineering energy?

Why are you so cowardly?

Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Xiaosong speechlessly and said, "I'll go to the snowfield this time and see if I can seize the White Ghoul Sorcerer Star Bead, sell it back, and buy her some Star Beads."

Xia Yan said casually, "Why is it so troublesome? I'll just buy the Torch Star Bead. You give it to your sister and make up an excuse. Didn't the Night Watcher Corps appreciate you? Just say that they recruited you, cultivated you, so they gave it to you."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Xia Yan said, "It's settled then."

Jiang Xiao: "Forget it, I'll go to the snowfield first and talk about it when I get back."

Xia Yan: "Hey? You..."

Jiang Xiao said, "Don't worry, I'll get the White Ghoul Sorcerer Star Bead. There's no such thing as a wall without wind, she'll find out sooner or later, I don't want to be buried with you."

Xia Yan pouted and muttered, "Two stubborn donkeys."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Xia Yan said rather helplessly: "Then I'll say hello to Ruifeng Commercial Bank in private. When you come, go directly to Manager Sun. I'll have him keep that Star Bead for you."

Jiang Xiao said quietly, "This matter can't be told to her. We have to act first and report later. If she knows that I seized the White Ghoul Sorcerer Star Bead, she will definitely not let me sell it. She will definitely make me keep it for myself to absorb."

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry, I know." Xia Yan said dissatisfied.

"You two, what are you studying?" In front, Han Jiangxue stopped in front of a fried chicken shop and turned to look at the two.

"She agreed." Jiang Xiao said suddenly.

Xia Yan: "What?"

Jiang Xiao said, "She agreed to let me go to the snowfield with Er Wei to train."

Xia Yan: "Why do you say that?"

Jiang Xiao looked at the fried chicken shop in the distance and said softly, "She wants to treat me to something good..."

Looking at the slender figure in front of the fried chicken shop, Jiang Xiao had made up his mind:

Miss,

When I come back,

I will definitely buy you the Torch Star Bead.

Well, by the way, what is the Torch Star Bead?

Let me check it online first...
