Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Everyone who sees this gets a share. I'll give you half, how about that?"

Yuan Zhou opened his palm, revealing three black coins, and his face showed a rather excited expression.

"How much do you owe the Universe Bank in total?" Chi Hong glanced at the coins, each with a strange character on it.

As mentioned earlier, this is 300 Cosmic Coins, meaning that one coin is worth 100 Cosmic Coins.

"It's not much, just a mere 50."

"Given a thousand years or more, I'll definitely be finished paying off my debts!"

"Of course, if you're willing to sell Blue Star, we'll split the profits 50/50. After I pay off my debts, I'll still have a considerable amount left..."

A lewd smile appeared on Yuan Zhou's face.

"I'll sell the rest of my fruit right away, and then I'll have someone break your legs." Chi Hong said seriously, taking out a piece of fruit and walking towards the counter.

Even in the universe, having money is still a good thing. For example, breaking Yuan Zhou's leg is something Chi Hong is certain of; as long as you have the money, someone will definitely do it.

"Great idea, bro!"

"Just give me the money, and I'll break my leg and give it to you!"

Yuan Zhou immediately followed, having completely transformed from an upright and honest college student into a miserable loser bent over by debt...

"Let's buy tickets."

"You didn't buy a ticket, did you?"

Chi Hong glanced at Yuan Zhou and was speechless again. Since he started out, he had never encountered such an abstract guy.

However, the "beautiful lady" at the counter told them that their tickets had been booked by "Zier" and were for middle-class seats.

"What?! A medium-sized seat?"

"A medium-sized seat costs 10 cosmic coins!"

"I've finally gotten a middle seat!"

Yuan Zhou was overjoyed, while Chi Hong asked in surprise, "So it seems 300 universe coins isn't much. You need 10 universe coins just to take a bus?"

"300 is only enough for about 30 bus rides. That's about the same as the purchasing power of 30 yuan on Earth. That's all..."

"This trip is across galaxies!"

"Naturally, it will be a bit more expensive."

"I'm taking you back to my hometown, the Desolate Galaxy."

"Since we've agreed to help you get back to Earth, the first thing we need is a spacecraft that can perform wormhole jumps. That thing is worth an astronomical sum."

"So, if I go back to my hometown, I have more connections, so things might progress a tiny bit faster~~~"

Yuan Zhou explained, and Chi Hong was speechless. Sure enough, as a race that values ​​agreements immensely, Yuan Zhou's personal credibility was clearly sufficient in front of Chi Hong.

I just don't know what the credit history is like for this bankrupt, indebted guy at the Universal Bank...

"Let me ask you something, what's the interest rate on the money you owe the bank?" Chi Hong asked suddenly as they walked down the corridor.

"For example, if you lend him 1000, he receives 700, and then has to pay back 1400 when the loan is due."

Yuan Zhou explained it very simply and clearly, and Chi Hong was stunned after listening...

"How long is your expiration date?"

"In your Earthly terms, let me give you an example, a month."

"Then what are we going to do if you don't go?"

"Then it will remain at 1400 next month, which is 2400."

"What the hell is this?! Hidden fees and sky-high annualized interest rates! What the hell am I supposed to pay?! I might as well just treat it as my salary!"

"No, that won't do." Yuan Zhou looked at Chi Hong and answered seriously, "I promised them, and this is how I have to repay them."

"Won't that just snowball and multiply? Eventually reaching an astronomical figure? Wait a minute..."

"You didn't just roll around to get this 50, did you?" Chi Hong asked with a face full of suspicion.

"Yes, yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"Fuck your mother's idiot!!" Chi Hong couldn't take it anymore and kicked Yuan Zhou in the butt, sending Yuan Zhou sprawling onto the aisle.

..........

About ten minutes later, Yuan Zhou and Chi Hong sat in a very comfortable area, which was more like a standard room than a seat.

There are even dedicated waiters who provide service...

"Approximately how many days will it take to reach your hometown, the Desolate Star System?" Chi Hong picked up the cup on the table; the liquid inside was a color he had never seen before.

Yes, just as someone born blind cannot understand what red is, Chi Hong had never seen this color before, and he couldn't even find an adjective to describe the color of this liquid.

"It's very far, so far that even if this spaceship keeps moving forward at its current speed, it will still take two and a half years according to Earth's timekeeping system."

"But time doesn't mean much to most aliens. Two and a half years is nothing. I can take a long nap and it will be over."

Chi Hong's face turned grim; this "bus" journey would actually take two and a half years.

"It takes Yuan Zhou as long as a Kun year to go back to his hometown..." Chi Hong couldn't help but think of his family and friends on Blue Star.

I'm afraid I'll be gone for a very long time. I hope everyone is well...

"Of course, if you have money, you can take a faster spaceship, the most powerful kind, which can cover the same distance in about one minute."

Seeing Chi Hong's grim expression, Yuan Zhou immediately revealed another piece of information. Upon hearing this, Chi Hong immediately asked, "So, if I have enough money, can I even travel directly to Earth?!"

"This behavior is illegal. I'm practically a wanted criminal. I actually appeared directly on a primitive, unregistered planet. The crime is serious. This is a rule set by the supreme being for the peace of the universe."

"You're such a country bumpkin, don't follow my example and go down the path of crime!"

Yuan Zhou earnestly advised him, which made Chi Hong want to slap him twice.

"Two and a half years is too long. Your berries are almost endless. Sell more, and bring out everything else to sell!" Mini Dark Mewtwo appeared again, as it always does.

"That makes sense." Chi Hong nodded.

"Who are you talking to again?" Yuan Zhou asked, puzzled.

"Hey you..." Chi Hong looked at the waitress sitting by a small door not far away. The waitress was a female alien with four arms, and her skin had a rocky feel to it. In fact, she was a stone person.

"Hello, esteemed guest, how can I help you?"

The stone woman asked Chi Hong in a gesture that Chi Hong could not understand at all; perhaps this gesture was similar to bowing on Earth.

"I need to see Qi Er, immediately," Chi Hong asked calmly.

The woman immediately replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zier is not receiving guests. He is the chief safety officer for this flight and needs to keep a close eye on the spaceship's safety. You can contact me directly if you need anything."

"Go tell him I still have some fruit, still 300 universe coins, I can sell him two more." Chi Hong held up two fingers, still very calm.

"Wouldn't that be 600?"

"We're rich! We're rich!"

Yuan Zhou rubbed his hands together excitedly, as if he had received 600 universe coins. In reality, Chi Hong had not asked him for the remaining 300 universe coins.

"Oh?"

"You're pretty good at math!"

Chi Hong glanced at Yuan Zhou with disdain.
