Ninth class citizen

Chapter 198 I Can’t Take Your Things for Free
Nan Rong had just thought about this, but before he could put it into practice, he received a follow-up reminder from Star Network:
[Warm reminder: Because the price of the potion exceeds 5000 million star coins, the buyer Ruan Luo San Zhang has the right to apply for a guaranteed price, and the window period for initiating the application is 5 minutes.]

[The buyer Ruan Luo San Zhang has confirmed the application for insurance. Please send the goods within three federal days. After the buyer confirms receipt and completes verification, the payment will be deposited into your Star Network account. Late delivery is considered a breach of contract and a penalty of 5% of the total sales will be deducted. If there is a dispute over verification and medical treatment, it will be transferred to the Federal Star Network Court for judgment in accordance with the law. ]

Nan Rong: This is too troublesome. It’s better to return the goods directly.

She contacted Ruanluo Sanqian and said, "I accidentally put an item on the shelf that is not for sale. Would you mind returning it?"

The other party did not reply immediately. Nan Rong thought about it and sent another message, with a soft tone and an apology, and also promised to compensate the other party for the loss, the amount even reached the highest value she could accept - 500 Cowens.

But no one knew what that soft girl was doing and she never replied to the message.

Nan Rong simply adjusted the other party's message to the highest priority, so that he could receive reminders at any time, and then logged out of the Star Network.

Capital star circle, Ripple Star.

This is one of the private stars of the Ji family, one of the nine great families, and also the most important one.

A silvery white floating city was suspended above a turquoise bay. Apart from the elders of the Ji family, only the eldest and most pure bloodline of the Ji family were qualified to stay here.

Ji Zhong sat in front of the desk, the hardened gold crystal carving knife in his hand shaking slightly, and light blue powder slid down from his fingertips.

He stopped, looked carefully at the more than one-foot-long sapphire strip in his hand, and then continued cutting.

A holographic image was playing on the large screen in front of Ji Zhong.

One of the protagonists in the video looks very similar to him, but is much older. His equally gentle eyes and brows are slightly tired, and his eyebrows are slightly furrowed.

A beautiful and charming woman was standing opposite the man, her beautiful eyes filled with mist. She just looked at him silently without saying a word.

But after a dozen breaths, the man softened his heart and took the initiative to hold her hand.

"I'm really not biased." He said, "That potion was a gift from Master Potter to Chuchu. She never wanted to use it, and when she was dying, she asked me to leave it to Ah Zhong."

"I know." The woman covered the man's mouth with her hand. "You once told me that Master Potter only made two similar special potions in his life. Because the effect is so different from other first-order A-level gene optimizers, it was given this name."

"Yes." The older man said, "The two potions were made thirty years apart. The user of the other potion, Mr. Tian Zhengze, had already achieved great success, but unfortunately he died young."

"But that has nothing to do with the gene evolution fluid itself." The woman said softly, "Think about it. In the past thirty years, Master Potter has risen from a sixth-level pharmacist to an eighth-level gene optimization master. How can the potions he made be compared with those thirty years ago?"

"But that potion belongs to Ah Zhong." The man sighed, "I told you, I only have the right to keep it, not the right to use it."

"I'm not such a superficial person." The woman lowered her head, her long eyelashes gradually wet, leaving two rows of shadows on her face. "You have seen how I treat Ah Zhong every day. I treat him closer than Ah Heng, and I treat him as my own son."

The man gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Yes, on this point, I, as a father, am not as careful and thoughtful as you." Ji Zhong's hand paused slightly, and he looked up at his father on the screen, Ji Qingyu, the head of the Ji family. Seeing the heartache engraved between his brows and in his eyes, the corners of his lips could not help but slightly curl up, revealing a cold smile that showed if he had known this would happen.

The two people in the picture are still going on.

"You can't blame me this time." The woman grabbed Ji Qingyu's sleeve and said, "Ah Heng is such a good child. Seeing his brother awaken extraordinary abilities since he was a child, he envied, followed, and loved Ah Chong, but he didn't have a trace of jealousy or resentment."

Her voice choked up. "I've always thought, if Ah Heng had half the talent of Ah Zhong, I would be willing to die immediately."

"Don't talk nonsense." The middle-aged man scolded in a low voice, and took the woman in his arms: "I will ask Master Albertini to personally create a first-order A-level gene optimizer for Ah Heng."

"But even a first-order A-level gene optimizer can't guarantee awakening." The woman said anxiously, "There is still a 10% chance of accidents. And accidents caused by high-level gene optimizers are difficult to remedy."

"You know, if anything happens to Ah Heng, I won't be able to live. Ah Zhong is already a third-level supernatural power user. He no longer needs this first-level potion - yes, he doesn't need it. He and Ah Heng are brothers. As long as you ask, he will definitely give up the potion on his own initiative."

The screen dimmed and disappeared into the air. The room became extremely quiet, and the only sound was the clanging of the blade cutting through the sapphire.

After a long while, Ji Zhong finally spoke: "Is today the first day that Ah Heng has been taking the medicine?"

"It's the seventh day." The guard who had always been standing in the shadows behind him said in a deep voice.

"It's been so long!" Ji Zhong put down the carving knife in his hand and took a soft silk towel to wipe it carefully.

The strip of sapphire has now become well-proportioned, and its shape resembles a tall and long-legged woman.

There has never been another woman around the young master. This statue could only be carved for that person.

The guard silently withdrew his gaze and did not ask any more questions.

At this moment, Ji Zhong's personal intelligence brain suddenly started to shake. Someone requested a holographic call.

He squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds before approving the application.

The beautiful woman who had just sang and acted with Ji Qingyu on the screen with a sweet voice and a trembling voice, changed into a dignified image of a noble lady and appeared in the room.

"Ah Chong." She was delighted. "Do you know that Ah Heng has awakened the extraordinary ability of light, and he is at the third level when he first awakens! Your father said that the effect of the gene evolution fluid will continue to manifest, and his future advancement will be easy, at least he will reach the eighth level, and maybe he will have the hope of challenging the ninth level! As a brother, you must be proud of him, right?"

This was a blatant show-off. The guard clenched his hands into fists behind his back, frowned tightly, and subconsciously looked at Ji Zhong.

The latter seemed to have been mentally prepared for this, and her face was calm: "Congratulations, Mrs. Ross."

"There is one more thing. As your elder, I can't just take your things for free." Mrs. Ross couldn't suppress her smile at all: "I have asked someone to buy a new bottle of gene evolution liquid on the Star Network. It will be delivered soon. I will return it to you then. Don't accuse me of taking advantage of the younger generation."
