Chapter 65 Nansi's Tears
Manor courtyard.
"You really don't want any reward?" Pero asked, frowning.
"Chieftain, I have already received enough. There is really no need, absolutely no need," Gao Sheng said.
Pero knew, of course, that Gao Sheng's gains would be substantial. Luo Feng's six-person team had managed to acquire a treasure, and although Gao Sheng only had three people, he had entered with a detector. Dixi had also broken through to the cosmic level. His gains would only be greater than Luo Feng's team's, and would definitely be more than just one treasure. That Thunder Secret Technique alone was worth two or three relatively inexpensive treasures.
"No, that's against the rules. The family has reaped such a huge harvest this time. You entered the Realm Within a Realm early on, and you even brought the detector. You deserve the most credit. Dixie was also someone you brought in. What's more, you even exchanged a secret technique for the family." Pero shook his head and said, "How can we not reward those who have made contributions?"
"Here's what I'll do: I'll allocate 10,000 Life Planets from the directly managed family company to your name."
Seeing that Gao Sheng still wanted to say something, Pero raised his hand and said, "The nominal lordship will not be changed for the time being, but the planet's profits will belong to you. You can do nothing, appoint your own managers, or request a change of lordship to reward your subordinates, etc."
"Yes," Gao Sheng had no choice but to agree.
In the universe, planetary territories are valuable assets. Although one or two may not seem expensive, they are actually very difficult to buy; someone has to be willing to sell them!
Moreover, the prices are not cheap. The planets that people usually talk about buying for trillions of Black Dragon Coins are basically inferior planets with very low returns.
Luo Feng bought Earth, which was recognized as a top-level life-bearing planet, for only 21 billion Qianwu coins because he was the discoverer, bought an unclaimed planet, and the Black Dragon Mountain Empire gave him a huge discount!
Gao Sheng's father now owns six planets, but these planets actually belong to the Wei Di family. As the lord, he only receives the profits from the planets; he cannot sell them. If he were to sell, he could only sell them to other members of the family.
After the conversation, Pero told them to go and rest. It was a rare opportunity to see Gao Sheng in real life, and he planned to stay at the manor for a few days to guide Gao Sheng's cultivation.
In a villa in the large estate, Gao Sheng entered with only Nan Si.
"Young Master." Nan Si hugged Gao Sheng's arm and looked at him, her eyes almost overflowing with tears.
"Alright, just perform at the Allied Forces' base. You don't need to perform here." Gao Sheng pointed and said, "Go to that room over there and get some rest. This trainee mercenary assessment has been going on for over four months. Aren't you tired? I'm exhausted."
Tired? Where am I tired? Didn't I come back comfortably in the spaceship? Nan Si pouted.
"Okay." Nan Si obediently went.
As Gao Sheng entered his room, sensing the treasures within his spatial ring, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.
Get rich!
The first time I exchanged for 43 treasures, the second time I exchanged for 4, oh, not counting the secret techniques, 3, and three railguns, one of which I exchanged for two of Luo Feng's.
A total of 50 items!
It may not seem like there are many, but Gao Sheng redeemed them too early. Almost all the truly cost-effective treasures in this realm are in his hands!
Gao Sheng had Xiao Ai estimate each item. Excluding the triple password and the bank account of unknown value, the Thunder Secret Technique and the Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion of uncertain value, the remaining physical items were worth about 150 trillion cosmic coins. These 50 items were worth about 40 trillion cosmic coins, which is 40 Chaos Units!
More than a quarter!
And that doesn't even include the bloodline potion!
A Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion is not some kind of Bloodline Evolution Agent. Using it, you could become a Domain Lord without even lying down!
The bloodline evolution agent manufactured by Virtual Universe Company is only SS grade at best, which can barely be considered a fourth-grade bloodline.
This bloodline potion can directly evolve into a first-class bloodline, and its value is immeasurable.
However, the promotion was intended for the old fat man, so it couldn't be for money, nor could it be given now. Anyway, the old fat man still had a long lifespan, so they could wait until things calmed down. If they used it now, how could a business-minded star become a cosmic-level being in a few hundred years? Or even a domain lord? Everyone knew who got that bloodline potion.
After Gao Sheng finished taking stock of his gains, cultivated his genetic energy, and practiced the guiding technique once more, he drifted off to sleep.
In fact, at the Hengxing level, there is no need to sleep; the time spent cultivating gene energy each day can be considered as rest.
However, since he started practicing this guiding technique, Gao Sheng still needs to sleep whenever he has the chance. When he can no longer maintain the guiding technique, sleeping is the only way to quickly recover his state; otherwise, he will have to wait a long time to practice again.
All was quiet. A slender figure slipped into Gao Sheng's room like a wisp of smoke and lay down beside him.
Gao Sheng was suddenly awakened.
"Nan Si?" Moonlight streamed in through the window, perfectly outlining her soft silhouette. Nan Si's blue hair cascaded down her backside like a waterfall, and her tight-fitting armor accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her beautiful face was framed by misty eyes, seemingly filled with a thousand emotions, yet also carrying a hint of timid probing.
A delicate, orchid-like fragrance quietly wafted out, enveloping Gao Sheng in its elegance and allure.
"Nan Si? You..." Gao Sheng called out again.
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of soft, tender hands gently rested on his shoulders. Nan Si's eyes sparkled, and a faint blush rose on her delicate cheeks.
"Young Master..." Her lips parted slightly, her voice soft and sweet like a murmur, seemingly tinged with shyness and anticipation.
The word "Young Master" tickled Gao Sheng's heart like a feather, and he was instantly captivated. Almost instinctively, he pulled Nan Si into a tight embrace and lowered his head to capture her soft red lips.
"Mmm..." Nan Si hummed softly, her body trembling slightly, yet she nestled obediently against him, letting their lips intertwine, the air filled with an ambiguous warmth.
Soon, their bodies were intertwined, embracing tightly. Just as their passion reached its peak, Gao Sheng suddenly awoke, abruptly pushing Nan Si away, his breath coming in short gasps: "No, no!"
"Young Master..." Nan Si stumbled from the push, the blush on her face instantly fading, replaced by astonishment and grievance, her misty eyes staring blankly at him.
"Go down and sit on that chair over there." Gao Sheng took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.
"Yes." The light in Nan Si's eyes dimmed instantly. She responded softly, silently got up, walked to the chair next to her, and sat down with her back straight.
Silence filled the room. A short while later, two lines of tears suddenly slid from Nan Si's eyes, winding down her beautiful cheeks and dripping onto the back of her hand.
As Gao Sheng watched this scene, his heart clenched, and an unprecedented feeling swept over him—heartache.
He strode to Nan Si's side, bent down, and gently took her slightly cool hands in his. His voice was very soft as he asked, "Nan Si, do you like me?"
"Yes, young master." Nan Si raised her tearful eyes and stared blankly at him, her gaze not only filled with grievance, but also with a sense of utter despair.
Gao Sheng felt his heart skip another beat, the heartache growing stronger. He gently raised his hand to stroke her cheek, wiping away her tears with his fingertips, and softly comforted her, "Don't, don't cry."
"It's precisely because I like you that it's impossible. Do you understand?" Gao Sheng said solemnly.
After saying that, he pulled Nansi into his arms again, lowered his head and kissed away the tears that remained at the corners of her eyes, "Say that to me again when you are free. Believe me, that day won't be long."
A strange light appeared in Nan Si's eyes, and tears streamed down her face again. She understood now; this time, her tears were not of grievance and disappointment, but of happiness and hope.
"By the way, Nansi, you said you're a magician. Come on, try it on me." Gao Sheng suddenly remembered something. Tomorrow the clan leader was going to give him guidance, and he didn't even know what abilities Nansi had.
"You really want to try?" Nansi blushed slightly.
"What, are you afraid I can't handle it?" Gao Sheng said seriously.
Even if you can't resist falling into an illusion, illusions are harmless. Illusionists can only kill enemies by trapping them in an illusion before using their weapons.
"it is good."
Nan Si's eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Gao Sheng, and then Gao Sheng felt a large amount of ethereal mental energy touching his soul.
Gao Sheng chose not to resist and let the attack take its course. Then, Gao Sheng's gaze became vacant.
Suddenly, the room disappeared, and the world turned into a misty fog. Curled up in the fog was a girl with long blue hair and blue eyes, dressed in a light gauze, her snow-white body faintly visible. She resembled Nansi, but was more beautiful than Nansi, even more beautiful than Ina!
The girl looked at Gao Sheng, lazily raised her hand, and parted her red lips slightly: "Master, come on..." Her voice was like a lover's whisper in her ear, and her blue eyes were full of intense love and desire!
With a surge of spiritual power, the illusion shattered like a mirror.
"Nan Si, is this the illusion magic you've been practicing?" Gao Sheng was both amused and exasperated.
"No, this is just one of them, I almost never use it," Nansi said embarrassedly.
"Uh, illusionists are too restricted. You should focus on mastering manipulation in the future and use illusions less often," Gao Sheng said seriously.
Nan Si replied honestly, "Yes."
"Especially this kind of illusion magic, you are not allowed to use it... you are only allowed to use it on me," Gao Sheng added.
Nan Si chuckled and quickly covered her mouth.
Gao Sheng thought for a moment and then said, "However, since Baihulou has asked you to cultivate as an illusionist, you should be more talented in controlling illusory mental power. I will teach you a soul attack secret technique called 'Soul Thorn' and a soul defense secret technique called 'Soul Cage'."
The Soul-Soothing Cage is something that Gao Sheng no longer practices, nor has he practiced it in the virtual universe. Of course, it can be given to others to practice; otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste?
