Part 4
City Lord Bai was pleasantly surprised: “This is all brother’s credit. Choosing a day is not as good as hitting a day. I’ll transfer the star coins to brother later.”
Ning Yunyi thought about it and didn’t refuse this time: “Just transfer to this account. By the way, I’m leaving the garbage star for the First Star in a few days.”
City Lord Bai’s joy froze, and he was dumbfounded: “Ah? Brother, you are leaving?”
Ning Yunyi hummed. Before, he could wait a few more days slowly, but from the plot in the book, the Ning family except for a [Ning Xingyao] were all dead, and within a short time. Excluding the time he needed to check in the First Star, there was not much left.
This was also why Ning Yunyi planned to reduce the riot to level 4 for Young Master Bai as soon as possible.
City Lord Bai obviously didn’t expect that Ning Yunyi wanted the IDs because he planned to leave the garbage star. He didn’t intend to stop him. After all, the brother suddenly returned to the First Star, plus the things he asked him to check, he was afraid there was a compelling reason.
City Lord Bai looked at Ning Yunyi, then at the little rabbit stuck on the window in the wooden house. He seemed to make a decision and suddenly took Ning Yunyi to the study.
Ning Yunyi guessed he might have something to say to him, but he didn’t expect City Lord Bai’s sentence to confuse him.
Ning Yunyi sat up straight: “Brother Bai, say it again, what did you just say?”
City Lord Bai stood up and bowed to Ning Yunyi: “I know this request is presumptuous, but this is all I can do for Ah Cheng. I am willing to give all my net worth over these years to brother, in exchange for a chance that if Ah Cheng has a mental riot again after arriving at the First Star, I hope brother can take care of him a bit. Brother don’t worry, I will find a way to send Ah Cheng to the First Star myself. I have quietly accumulated a lot of assets there over the years. Half of the underground city in Area F of the First Star is mine. There are also two such castles built there. At that time, one will be left for Ah Cheng, and the remaining one including half of the underground city will be given to brother.”
If he hadn’t met Ning Yunyi, City Lord Bai might have gambled to find a high-level healer.
Now that he met Ning Yunyi, City Lord Bai knew this was an opportunity.
Fleeing the First Star back then was a last resort, but over the years he had also established a foundation in the First Star, at least to protect Ah Cheng for the rest of his life without worry.
But he still didn’t want to risk letting people know Ah Cheng’s identity as a half-beast.
He was willing to give everything to Ning Yunyi, only asking to suppress the mental riot for Ah Cheng, then everything was worth it.
City Lord Bai was afraid that Ning Yunyi thought he was joking. He even adjusted his wristband, opened his encrypted account, and revealed the star coin assets he could control.
“Brother, including these, as long as you agree to protect Ah Cheng a bit, they are also yours.” City Lord Bai said sincerely, “If brother agrees, I will transfer all my net worth to you on the spot.”
Ning Yunyi looked up subconsciously, and when he saw the string of zeros that were almost uncountable clearly, he was numb.
City Lord Bai continued: “I also have a box of 3S-level energy crystals, which are also yours.”
Ning Yunyi raised his hand to stop City Lord Bai from continuing: “Let me slow down.”
City Lord Bai was worried: “I am sincere. If brother really feels difficult… just pretend I didn’t say it.”
Ning Yunyi waved his hand. He said slow down, really slow down.
By the way, thinking about the feasibility of City Lord Bai’s proposal, he didn’t expect that while City Lord Bai was inquiring about news these years, he also had half a net worth in the underground city.
Ning Yunyi initially planned to use a fake identity to return to the First Star, and the first place to hide was also the underground city in Area F.
Area F is the last area of the First Star, completely opposite to the wealthy families in Area A. It is a mixture of dragons and snakes, but it is also the place where it is easiest to inquire about news without attracting attention.
On the other hand, it is easier to hide. After all, no one would have thought that the escaped waste and weak Second Young Master Ning would hide in such a dangerous place.
The most dangerous place is the safest instead.
At the same time, if you want to gain a foothold in this kind of place, trouble is inevitable, especially the local snakes.
But the good big brother he just recognized in front of him said that half of the underground city was his.
Ning Yunyi figured it out instantly. Just occasionally going to the castle to suppress the riot for the little rabbit in exchange for a hiding place, this deal was not a loss no matter how you looked at it.
Ning Yunyi spoke: “I don’t want your net worth.”
City Lord Bai’s face turned pale, but he didn’t force it: “Brother…”
Before he could continue, Ning Yunyi changed the subject: “I can agree to suppress the mental riot for the eldest nephew, but I don’t need all your net worth, Brother Bai. I only need one of your two castles in the underground city, and half of the forces in the underground city to follow my orders, and all the water skin stones in Brother Bai’s hands.”
City Lord Bai was dumbfounded, staring with tiger eyes in disbelief: “This… this won’t do, brother, you are losing too much! Besides, what water skin stones do you want? That stuff is not worth star coins. Even if you want, you should want that box of energy crystals.”
The more City Lord Bai spoke, the more he burst into tears. The brother was indeed a great person.
Ning Yunyi sighed: “I only want water skin stones. As for the energy crystals, leave them for the eldest nephew to use.”
Although energy crystals are good, they are not very effective for him. Although the little meow cub can use them, he is still young now. It will be a long time before he needs to consume a lot. At that time, Ning Yunyi can get them for the little cub himself.
Currently, the most useful thing for Ning Yunyi is the jade in the water skin stone, which can allow him to absorb a lot of spiritual power, improve his combat power, and provide more guarantee when returning to the First Star.
Seeing Ning Yunyi speak seriously, City Lord Bai thought about letting Ah Cheng bring star coins over later, and let him scatter coins when encountering places where star coins are needed.
City Lord Bai was afraid that Ning Yunyi would go back on his word, so he immediately excitedly took him to the water skin stones stored separately in his basement.
Water skin stones are not as valuable as energy crystals, and are clumsy and huge, so City Lord Bai just found a basement to store them.
