Chapter 40 Gifts Suitable for Husbands
The knocking on the door forced Wen Shumu to peek out from under the covers.
A strange male voice sounded through the door: "Hello, your breakfast has arrived."
It turned out to be a food delivery person from the Atakala Lake Hotel.
Wen Shumu's expectant eyes immediately dimmed, and he called out, "Please come in."
Today's breakfast was exceptionally lavish; the small table in the thatched hut was almost overflowing. Wen Shumu silently calculated their expenses in his mind.
After deducting the 600 credits for three nights of accommodation, the 600 credits for car rental including today, and the 3000 credits spent on meals over the past few days and wine tasting yesterday, I spent a total of 4200 credits.
But they earned a total of 4000 credits through daily tasks and games the day before yesterday and yesterday, which means they only spent 200 credits on their trip these past few days!
Wen Shumu felt relieved and began to enjoy the food.
Today is the last day on Floating Star, and also the day the Holy Epiphyllum blooms.
The production team said they would only stay on Fumeng Star for three nights, meaning that after watching the Holy Epiphyllum tonight, they would immediately set off for the next planet.
The thatched hut saved Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu a lot of money; the other groups weren't so well-off.
Those with more credits, like Jiang Hong and Jiang Xun, still have 6,000 credits left.
Some, like Chuzhao and Ludwig, only have 850 credits left. Both of them are heavy drinkers and secretly compete in drinking capacity, impulsively spending over two thousand credits at the liquor stall just yesterday.
If it weren't for the 2000 credits they received for completing the task at the Wazhou Forest Botanical Garden that day, plus the fact that the person who checked in first saved a night's accommodation fee, they would now be heavily in debt and working for the TV show.
After dinner, Wen Shumu received a message from the production team that the Holy Epiphyllum would bloom at 8 p.m., and they would meet at 6 p.m. to go to the ancient village where the Holy Epiphyllum was located. The guests were free to do whatever they wanted during the day.
After a moment's thought, Wen Shumu initiated a call to Ling Suyu.
The call was answered within seconds of being sent, and Ling Suyu's 3D projection appeared in front of Wen Shumu.
Just like yesterday morning, Ling Suyu was still in military uniform, seemingly still busy.
Upon seeing the person in the projection, Alpha's expression softened considerably: "Xiao Mu."
"Brother, are you busy?" Wen Shumu asked, worried that the call might disturb him. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm planning to stroll around the pedestrian street near Busa Square later."
He still remembered the empty gift chest and wanted to wander around to see if there was a suitable gift for Ling Suyu.
Ling Suyu glanced at the huge screen on the wall in front of him, where the commanders of the various legions were discussing the new defense strategy for the border in the next quarter.
"Okay, I can't leave for now, let Heck stay with you."
Wen Shumu didn't want Ling Suyu to abandon his work, since he was going to pick out a gift for Ling Suyu, so he quickly said, "Then I'll wait for him inside."
Ling Suyu was worried about Wen Shumu's safety, so he not only arranged for Heke to accompany Wen Shumu, but also secretly dispatched a plainclothes guard team to blend in with the crowd.
When he set off, Wen Shumu also asked Xiao Jin to accompany him.
Xiao Jin has a good eye; perhaps he can offer some advice.
The pedestrian street of Fumeng Star is arguably the most bustling place in the area, where the only high-rise commercial buildings are concentrated, as well as many preserved historical buildings and small shops.
Standing at the crossroads, Wen Shumu asked Xiao Jin, "What do you think would be a suitable gift for my husband?"
Xiao Jin immediately broke into a bright smile, winking and saying, "Oh dear, Madam, you yourself are the best gift for the Marshal!"
Wen Shumu: "..."
He couldn't help but imagine himself being presented to Ling Suyu with a ribbon tied around his neck.
Wen Shumu's roots were burning: "The proper kind of gift."
Xiao Jin stopped teasing him and said with a smile, "If it's a gift for the Marshal, he doesn't smoke, so a lighter isn't necessary. A razor, a watch, a brooch, or some other decoration would be fine. But I think the Marshal would like anything given by his wife."
Wen Shumu smiled and faced the shopping mall: "Let's go there first."
The shopping mall was filled with luxury stores and various international brands. After browsing around, Wen Shumu realized that he could basically not afford any of them.
Embarrassingly, he only had tens of thousands of credits in his personal account, which he had accumulated little by little over the years.
When Wen Bin was in a good mood, he would occasionally give him some pocket money, but perhaps fearing that he would use the money to bribe others and take the opportunity to escape, the credit points he gave him were even less than a fraction of Wen Boshuang's.
Moreover, he was never in a good mood when he saw Wen Shumu.
After Wen Shumu came to the Imperial Star Manor, Allison took care of all his needs, so he didn't have to spend any money. He also didn't have any hobbies or entertainment that required money, and unlike other noble Omegas, he didn't update his jewelry and clothes every few days, so he never thought about money.
In short, no one would have thought that the eldest son of the Wen family was poor.
Wen Shumu scratched his curly hair: "How about we go check out some shops outside?"
Heck had been following at a distance, and when he saw that the lady was about to go outside, he immediately touched the earpiece on his ear, signaling the guards to move.
The lady, who was walking out, suddenly stopped.
Wen Shumu stared at the row of numbers on his wrist terminal, counting them several times in disbelief.
[Allison: Madam, this is the total payment of 2000 million credits for you and the Marshal for "Love's Star Journey." It has been credited to your account. Please check.]
Allison was also looking at the terminal; he raised a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
He thought the marshal's sudden call was for something important, but it turned out his wife wanted to go shopping and he was worried she wouldn't have enough money.
[Wen Shumu: Are you transferring all this money to me?!]
Allison: Yes.
[Wen Shumu: This is our total salary. What about the Marshal's portion?]
Allison: The Marshal said to leave everything to the lady. Enjoy your shopping.
What's so surprising? He saw that even the marshal was planning to hand over his salary card.
When a huge sum of money fell from the sky, Wen Shumu stood there stunned for a long time before finally walking towards the door.
Even if you have money, you can't squander it, especially since your brother's share of the money is included.
I should think about what kind of job I want to do as soon as possible... I heard that Allison has a PhD in economics, so I should remember to ask him for advice on financial management during my break.
Wen Shumu walked along the pedestrian street, silently planning for half a day.
Compared to the expensive luxury goods in shopping malls, the prices here seem much more affordable.
He eventually stopped in front of the window of a crystal carving studio on the pedestrian street, his gaze falling on a blooming Epiphyllum oxypetalum.

After buying the gifts, Wen Shumu and the others strolled around the neighborhood for a while, had lunch, and then returned to the cabin.
After handing the gift to Miz, he saw that it was still early before the meeting time, so he changed back into his soft pajamas and went to bed for a nap.
The pillow seemed to still have a faint, refreshing scent.
It tastes like Ling Suyu.
Just a touch was enough to make Wen Shumu's whole body burn.
After lying down for a while, he got up again and gave himself another injection of inhibitor before lying back down with peace of mind.
He's still recording a show; hopefully his fever will come later...
Ideally, it should be done when it's just the two of them, in a place where they won't be disturbed by anyone.
