After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 172 The Loss After Death

"Our lives are in danger, I don't have time to waste on you, let's think about our future," Sang Tian joked to ease the tension.

Her business was just starting out, with the black market and plantation businesses thriving, and now this has happened.

"Lan Yuan, calculate the losses we'll incur after we die, make a bill and demand compensation from her while we're still alive."

Tang Xiaoyan was amused, but said with dissatisfaction, "You're going to die soon, what do you need so much for? You won't be able to spend it anyway."

"I have three superpowers, what if Stardust goes easy on me?"

Tang Xiaoyan paused, then thought about it and agreed. Xing Duan had always been biased to the extreme, and Sang Tian's beast husband group was also so top-notch.

"That's true. The worst outcome for you is being sent to the City of Extinction to give birth."

Sang Tian: "..."

If she's to be treated like a birthing machine, endlessly producing children, then she might as well be dead.

"Let's give this good fortune to someone else."

During the chat, Tang Xiaoyan's system returned with a message.

Since only Tang Xiaoyan could hear the system's voice, the others quietly watched Tang Xiaoyan, observing the expression on her face in an attempt to quickly guess whether the news was good or bad.

[System: Host, the system power within Shen Jinxi has been largely weakened by Xingduan and has now been recalled by her masters. There is no significant risk for the time being.]

Tang Xiaoyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the good news.

"What about Shen Jinxi?"

[System: Not sure, but they're still alive.]

"The situation is not good. Xingduan has detected Shen Jinxi's system and weakened its power. It is unclear whether it knows about the existence of other systems. The system has now been recalled."

This news surprised Sang Tian, ​​and a vague unease crept into her heart. "Xingduan didn't destroy it?"

"No."

In fact, Tang Xiaoyan was also a little uneasy, worried that Xingduan was setting a trap and wanted to use the system to find out who was behind it.

In this case, the recall system is just causing trouble for the people of Fanjin City.

But if they don't recall him, it's only a matter of time before Shen Jinxi betrays him. It's a difficult choice, as both sides are equally dear to him.

[System: The masters have already considered this. The system activated self-destruct mode when it separated from Shen Jinxi and will not return to the City of Prosperity.]

Tang Xiaoyan was speechless. "Why did you only tell me such important news now?"

She quickly relayed the system's message.

Sang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "Next time, have your system say the important things first."

[System: In addition, the masters already know that Sang Tian is aware of my existence. The host has the choice: to transfer me or to assist Sang Tian.]

Tang Xiaoyan didn't relay those words; instead, she replied to the system with her inner voice.

“She didn’t agree to it. I used tricks to get her to help me. If she really wanted to help me wholeheartedly, she wouldn’t have started the plantation. I don’t want to force her.”

[System: Okay, I'll send a message to the masters.]

The City of Prosperity is separated from the mainland, and communication between them is completely blocked by the Stardust, resulting in delays when sending messages.

Having solved the immediate problem, Sang Tian once again reminded Tang Xiaoyan to be careful and to stock up on more gas masks.

"No need, I can make them myself. You probably need them too, right? I'll make a few hundred for you to stock up on these next few days."

Yes, how could she forget that Tang Xiaoyan's superpower is mechanical manufacturing? A gas mask is a piece of cake for her.

Sang Tian suddenly realized, "Then Mingchen, you don't need to stock up anymore. Leave the goods on the market for others, and we'll keep Xiaoyan's."

Tang Xiaoyan accurately sensed the business opportunity.

"Tian Tian, ​​is the natural disaster you mentioned coming soon? Will we need gas masks? Should I make some extra to stock up and sell at a high price later?"

Sang Tian nodded, tacitly agreeing. "It's leaked through multiple channels. If it's inconvenient for you, you can put it on the black market. The black market has good confidentiality and is much safer."

"Alright, I'll go to the black market to find Quan Jingtian when I've finished making it."

Bai Mingchen corrected him, "Quan Jingtian isn't responsible for these things now; you need to find that person."

Tang Xiaoyan followed Bai Mingchen's gaze to Wu Lanyuan, surprised to find that he was in charge of these matters.

Seeing the person's expressionless, icy demeanor, Tang Xiaoyan nervously swallowed.

"Where is Quan Jingtian?"

"If you're going to promote someone, you can't keep having them do menial tasks forever."

Tang Xiaoyan reluctantly agreed, "Alright then..."

Wu Lanyuan met Tang Xiaoyan's eyes, but the other woman quickly looked away.

"Tell me in advance if you're coming, and I'll have someone prepare the warehouse accordingly."

“Okay, I should be able to bring about 500 in about a week. You don’t need to count the 100 you have. You can sell the rest.”

Wu Lanyuan hummed in agreement and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Sang Tian saw Tang Xiaoyan off.

Do you think Shen Jinxi will get into trouble?

Sang Tian nodded. "Definitely, but she might still be somewhat useful to Xing Duan right now."

This is threatening Stardust's position; if this isn't resolved...

Sang Tianzhen might suspect that Shen Jinxi is Xingduan's biological daughter.
-
Shen Jinxi was unaware that the system had been taken away, and completely oblivious to the fact that Xingduan had already learned of her actions.

Apart from the disappearance of the system, there was nothing unusual about her life.

The disappearance of the system was commonplace for her, and she didn't take it to heart.

For Shen Jinxi, the only unusual thing recently was that He Zi had become increasingly intimate with her and no longer suppressed her like before.

Shen Jinxi found this very unusual, but since the system wasn't available, she couldn't tell whether He Zi's words were true or false.

Shen Jinxi had just finished lunch when the doorbell rang.

Jin Che went to open the door and was unsurprised to see He Zi.

He Zi was carrying a lot of good stuff she had bought from the black market, including clothes and jewelry.

"What are you doing?" Shen Jinxi looked at He Zi, whose hands were full of things, with surprise in her eyes.

"These are all gifts I bought for you. Take a look and see if you like them."

Upon hearing He Zi's reply, Shen Jinxi was certain that something was wrong with He Zi, and a sense of fear arose in her heart as she looked at her.

"You've never given me anything before, why are you thinking of giving me something now?"

He Zi replied naturally, "Of course it's because my conscience bothered me. From childhood to adulthood, you're the only friend I've ever had the longest. If I'm not good to you, who will be?"

These words gave Shen Jinxi goosebumps all over.

“He Zi, you’re not that kind of person.”

The He Zi she knew was someone who wouldn't take the initiative to show kindness to others.

"Okay, I admit I have some selfish motives. It's mainly to make up for the help you gave me last time. Even though you didn't succeed, you still put in the effort."

He Zi placed the items on the coffee table, gazing at the bags with obvious admiration.

"Since you don't have many friends and I don't either, we'll be each other's only friends. Who knows, we might even die on the same day."

He Zi's last half-sentence was chilling.
