"Be right back." Luo Hang and his wife were at home, listening to the old man's scolding. Luo Hang had already grown tired of it and was planning to leave.
Luo Bi hung up the call, lost in thought for a moment, then called Jiang Zhu. She felt uncomfortable keeping things to herself and thought unloading them would make her feel better. She had her own way of speaking. As soon as the call connected, she teased, "Sister Jiang Zhu, I went to the gemstone street today. Guess what I got?"
Jiang Zhu hadn't finished work yet, and it was almost quitting time. Her supervisor, who seemed oblivious, kept piling work on her, making her extremely busy. Amidst the chaos, she paused, thinking it must be good news, and guessed, "A first-grade high-quality bi-feng stone?"
Then she muttered, "It's strange, every time you don't come to the pharmacy, I get more work."
Luo Bi wasn't concerned about work at the moment and reminded her, "I went to the gemstone street, not to the mine to find bargains." First-grade high-quality bi-feng stones were common on the gemstone street and not worth mentioning.
Jiang Zhu, realizing she was wrong, stopped her busy work, thought for a moment, and guessed again, "A second-grade high-quality bi-feng stone?" Bi-feng stones were divided into nine grades, and the price doubled with each grade. Jiang Zhu didn't dare to guess too high.
"No." Luo Bi, lacking patience, knew Jiang Zhu wouldn't guess correctly, so she said, "I got a fourth-grade high-quality red bi-feng stone."
"Did you hit the jackpot?" As expected, Jiang Zhu's surprised exclamation came from the other end of the line.
Wu Yue stepped into the studio, startled by Jiang Zhu's outburst.
"Hit the jackpot? Don't even mention it." Luo Bi then recounted the entire story of Luo Yan demanding the red bi-feng stone, her anger rising as she spoke: "She just stole Hua Chen and now wants my red bi-feng stone. Damn, she's so smart."
"I'm always thinking about getting an advantage but never do, and she dares to covet my things? What a joke."
"Did you really give that valuable red bi-feng stone to your fiancé?" Jiang Zhu was worried for Luo Bi. Selling it to Luo Yan would have earned her 2.6 million interstellar coins, but giving it away meant nothing.
Admittedly, Luo Yan was wrong to steal Luo Bi's fiancé, and her character was questionable, but could right and wrong be compared to interstellar coins? In this world, interstellar coins were the most important.
"Given it." Luo Bi quickly explained, "But Feng Ling gave me 2 million interstellar coins. I didn't lose out; he even gave me an extra 400,000."
In Luo Bi's mind, losing out was absolutely unacceptable.
Luo Bi changed the subject, teasing again, "Later, Feng Ling and I went to the testing center. Guess what I awakened?"
"You awakened?" Jiang Zhu was shocked. She looked up to see her supervisor, Wu Yue, checking the processing of the medicinal plants nearby, but she hadn't noticed him come in. However, Jiang Zhu wasn't concerned. Wu Yue was her cousin, and even if he caught her chatting during work hours, it wouldn't be a big deal, just a few words of scolding at most.
"Who awakened?" Wu Yue asked.
"Luo Bi awakened." Jiang Zhu was excited and felt a bit envious.
Wu Yue was taken aback, his movements freezing.
"Awakened, and the attribute I awakened is pretty powerful! You wouldn't believe it." Luo Bi had a habit of speaking in reverse. Hearing Jiang Zhu talking to someone, she asked, "Is the supervisor there?"
"Yeah, my cousin is in the studio." Since Wu Yue hadn't scolded her, Jiang Zhu stopped working and, putting down the medicinal plants, asked anxiously, "So, what did you awaken?"
