Chapter 26: Crazy Spendthrift

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Ping filled a plate with food.

If he ate more now, he wouldn’t have to eat at night. It wasn’t that he had to endure hunger to save money, but every penny counted.

The energy contained in spiritual energy ingredients far exceeded that of ordinary ingredients.

It wouldn’t be too much of a problem for him to eat his fill for a day.

He found an empty seat and sat down, then began to eat heartily.

The spirit energy food, whether it was the taste or the texture, was far superior to ordinary food.

The more Lu Ping ate, the happier he became.

Suddenly, a person sat in front of him. Lu Ping looked up and saw that it was Huang Xiaoqi.

Compared to Lu Ping’s plate full of food, Huang Xiaoqi’s plate had much less.

There were only a few pieces of spirit energy fruit dishes.

Beside it was a thermos of spirit energy milk tea…

To Huang Xiaoqi, these foods weren’t very presentable.

She didn’t really like them, but she casually took a bite.

“What a coincidence, Mr. Lu.” Huang Xiaoqi smiled and greeted him.

Lu Ping lowered his head and continued eating. He said as he ate, “What’s so coincidental about this? Everyone has lunch at noon.”

Lu Ping’s tone was alienating, without any intention of getting close to her.

Huang Xiaoqi wasn’t angry either. She smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, I came here this time because I have something to ask you.”

“Okay.” Lu Ping’s reply was short and direct.

Huang Xiaoqi said in a low voice, “It’s like this. I have a friend who recently got pregnant by accident. I don’t know what to do. I heard you mention something about Binhai City’s abortion clinic yesterday. Is it very good there?”

Lu Ping slowly raised his head and swallowed the food in his mouth.

He looked at Huang Xiaoqi with a strange expression.

Could it be that she made up a friend?

But he thought about it and realized that this matter had nothing to do with him.

He said honestly, “How would I know? I’ve never been there.”

Huang Xiaoqi smiled and said, “It can’t be. I heard that you even memorized their phone number yesterday. Have you never brought a girl there before?”

This matter had always been suppressed in Huang Xiaoqi’s heart. No matter how she thought about it, it felt awkward.

“You’re thinking too much. I’ve only handed out their flyers in the past for 30 star dollars a day! I really don’t know the specifics,” Lu Ping said truthfully, after saying that, he looked at Huang Xiaoqi and finally hesitated for a moment, he tried to persuade her, “I think that if there’s an accident, it’s better to negotiate with their man to resolve it. They’re already pregnant. Don’t be too impulsive.”

“Alright, I’ll go and persuade her!”

Huang Xiaoqi’s tone was very relaxed. She was obviously very happy. Even Lu Ping could feel it.

He didn’t understand what made this woman so happy.

Lu Ping continued to eat with his head lowered.

Just as Huang Xiaoqi was about to speak, Chen Sheng sat down beside Lu Ping with a tray of food.

He was full of smiles. “Supervisor Huang, Lu, the two of you are here. Do you mind if I join you?”

Lu Ping naturally didn’t mind, but Huang Xiaoqi was different.

She was secretly resentful.

A guy with no discerning eyes, how annoying!

How would she know that Chen Sheng wasn’t blind? He was actually interested in her.

The office had two beauties. Any normal person had to have some ideas.

At the very least, they had to give it a try.

Huang Xiaoqi didn’t stand on ceremony. She said directly, “Didn’t you see us talking about something? Go away!”

Chen Sheng was a little embarrassed…

He held the plate that hadn’t been completely put down and didn’t know what to do. After a moment, he sighed and sat at another table.

Lu Ping looked at Huang Xiaoqi and asked curiously, “Do you have something else to do?”

Huang Xiaoqi nodded, then she asked with a smile, “There’s one more thing. I have a younger brother at home. He is going to practice his basic swordsmanship. I saw that Mr. Lu’s long sword looked pretty good yesterday. I’m going to buy one exactly the same for my younger brother. I wonder if I can trouble Mr. Lu to ask your girlfriend where she bought this long sword?”

Lu Ping didn’t expect her to ask about this matter.

Lu Ping shook his head and smiled. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Just take a picture and search for the same type on Universe Treasure.”

Universe Treasure was a universal shopping software that could be distributed over long distances.

Huang Xiaoqi curled her lips and said, “The things on Universe Treasures might not be the same as the real thing. Mr. Lu, please help me ask your girlfriend.”

She was a little nervous. What kind of answer would Lu Ping give?

Lu Ping sighed and said in a low voice, “I bought this sword from a roadside stall five years ago. I lied to Mr. Wei yesterday. I don’t have a girlfriend. If you ask me now, I can’t tell you where to buy it.”

“What a pity…” Huang Xiaoqi was secretly happy, but she pretended to be pitiful.

However, something unexpected happened.

Lu Ping said seriously, “But Supervisor Huang, we are colleagues. Since you like my sword, I’m willing to bear the pain and give it up!”

Huang Xiaoqi was stunned. She felt a sour feeling in her heart.

What did he mean? Lu Ping wanted to give her the sword?

Was he looking at her beauty?

Just as she was pondering, she saw Lu Ping take out a long sword from his storage ring and put it on the table. He smiled and said, “Supervisor Huang, take a look. If you think it’s suitable, let’s discuss the price.”

Lu Ping’s calculations were clear. Supervisor Huang was obviously someone from a good family background. 180 star dollars for a sword wasn’t considered expensive, right?

He would spend another 20 star dollars to buy one, wouldn’t that be wonderful!

Huang Xiaoqi understood as well. The sourness in her heart had disappeared without a trace.

After all this time, he was going to sell it to her.

“Then 10,000 star dollars!” Huang Xiaoqi said with a smile.

“Ha?” Lu Ping was stunned! What price was this?

What kind of person was this?

A mortal iron sword for 10,000 star dollars?

He looked carefully at Huang Xiaoqi and realized that she wasn’t joking.

To Lu Ping, who was short of money, this price was indeed very attractive.

However, he still shook his head and said, “Supervisor Huang, this price is too much. 100 star dollars is enough.”

In Lu Ping’s opinion, if this sword was sold to Huang Xiaoqi for 10,000 star dollars, it would be too much. Even if he earned money, he couldn’t earn it this way.

Huang Xiaoqi frowned and said, “Is it too much?”

“Yes!” Lu Ping was very serious.

“Then 5,000?”Huang Xiaoqi asked tentatively.

To her, the value of star dollars… was only limited to numbers.

“100 will do!”

“4,000 will do, right?”

A strange bargaining scene appeared.

Huang Xiaoqi knew that Lu Ping was very poor.

Especially now that she knew that Lu Ping didn’t have any first love or ex-girlfriend, nor did he go to get an abortion, she felt even more heartache for him.

She still wanted to help him.

“If this sword is too cheap, my brother will be unhappy if I take it home.” Huang Xiaoqi forcefully thought of a reason.

Lu Ping looked at her and sighed, “Since we are colleagues and you are so sincere, then 500 star dollars, no more!”

This price was already the limit of Lu Ping’s black heart. It was already twenty times higher than the normal market price…

If it wasn’t for Huang Xiaoqi saying that her brother would be unhappy if it was too cheap, Lu Ping wouldn’t have said this price.

His perception of Huang Xiaoqi had already undergone an earth-shattering change.

She was a f*cking idiot!
