"Who told you to talk so much."

Blade Warrior walked over slowly from afar in formal attire, glanced up and down at the chubby guy while clicking his tongue, "I couldn't tell before, this is a rare formal look on you, makes me feel a bit uncomfortable."

Zhang Xiaobo scratched his head awkwardly. Speaking of this suit, he felt uncomfortable too, but he couldn't resist the salesgirl's sweet talk, and ended up buying this Advanced suit with a big wave of his hand.

As an invited old friend, Blade Warrior naturally wouldn't forget Sara. No one understands the little thoughts between women better than she does. Dealing with this type of woman, rather than playing the emotional card, it's better to get straight to the point.

She immediately took out a delicately packaged wooden box, with a golden frame inlaid on it, clearly a high-end item at first glance.

"The seven days on the beach last time were unforgettable, so as a return favor, don't refuse this small token."

Upon seeing this, Sara's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement, but it was only fleeting, as she naturally murmured out loud with a harmless look, taking the wooden box and examining it eagerly, "Oh, this is..."

"Open it and you'll see," Blade Warrior said confidently about this gift.

So Sara slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box. Under everyone's gaze and with Sara's expectant eyes, she finally saw what was inside the box.

"Wow..."

Sara exclaimed in surprise, but didn't feel too surprised. The box contained a perfectly crafted diamond necklace.

At this moment, her eyes were already glowing green, but she still uttered a very idealistic, unwilling polite phrase, "Such a... precious gift, how could I possibly accept it?"

Sara forced a smile and very reluctantly pushed the necklace back to Blade Warrior.

The scene left the chubby guy speechless, thinking, if you want it, just take it, why play reserved? That thing is worthless to me, even if you give me a hundred of them.

The chubby guy had no idea of the necklace's value, and who would have thought the next second, Blade Warrior really reached out and took it back...

'Hey, wait, beauty, how come you take it back? Even a script wouldn't dare write it like this! Don't actually take it, this necklace is mine, I'm just being polite.'

When Blade Warrior reached out and took the diamond necklace, it shattered Sara's heart. Normally, she was supposed to push the necklace back to show sincerity, but the script went off-script.

However, Blade Warrior just held it up in the air for a moment, examined the diamond necklace under the light so that its color and luster were clear, "It's really beautiful," then handed it back to Sara.

Yet Sara still didn't take it, kept declining, and just as this damned habitual move appeared, she regretted it instantly, Oh my, why am I not taking it? I'm just reflexively saying no, okay?

But unfortunately, this time Blade Warrior really put the necklace away.

The scene plunged into awkwardness for a moment...

Yet the next second, Blade Warrior proactively put the diamond necklace around Sara's neck.

"Take it, I can tell you like it a lot."

"Well then... it would be impolite to refuse," Sara instantly beamed with a smile, her satisfaction a hundred percent, and happily accepted the necklace.

Thinking of last time when Blade Warrior came for a trip to the beach, the chubby guy spent a total of about eighty to a hundred thousand inside and out. This time, he scored big, exchanging tens of thousands for a diamond necklace. Its value probably no less than several million, surely?

Compared to the chubby guy's shabby stall goods, the rich truly are extravagant. Of course, Sara made two preparations. How could meeting friends not include some thoughtfulness? So she took out the always successful free seven-day beach tour tickets, expressing her welcome for a next visit.

In the midst of laughter and conversation, watching a few sisters walk away in the distance longingly, chubby guy's gaze seemed so helpless, "What about me, Blade Sis, where's my gift?"

"Huh? You want a gift too?"

"Of course, as they say, no one should be left out. Last time it was my money for the seven-day beach trip. You can't be so unprincipled."

"Why is it that you are everywhere, chubby guy? Go ask your bros for a gift. Giving the necklace to Sara was like giving it to you, wasn't it? Speaking of which, your group of brothers, either highly skilled or greatly meritorious. Considering the recent Honor Ring, with a little maneuvering, it's not going to..." Blade Warrior made a gesture that implied making money.

Chubby guy burst into tears, "But they are broke, poorer than me. Take Feng Yi, for example, surely he's talented, but in this era, it's useless."

"Feng Yi, well..." Blade Warrior rested her chin in her hand and said, "That kind of ability isn't entirely useless. You might consider starting an air-courier company, like having Feng Yi deliver packages, especially urgent ones, wouldn't that rake it in?"

"Don't mention it, working? Impossible, not in this lifetime. Feng Yi insisted on never working for anyone, even for himself, when he first talked to me about his ideals. But that guy's got many military honors and medals, so each month he manages to get some social security and barely survives, leading a carefree life. It's not the same for me, baby formula alone costs a lot, and for those battlefield brothers' families, I occasionally visit during holidays. It's hard to keep going with just the mining proceeds every day."

"You surprise me, chubby guy, you are thoughtful, visiting comrades' families during holidays, that's not simple." Blade Warrior's gaze showed a rare quirkiness, "But if I told you Feng Yi is actually the richest person in the world, would you believe me?"

"Feng Yi, you mean Feng Yi...?"

"Exactly, whether status, money, or influence, I'm far inferior to him."

"I don't believe it, not for a second, not in a million years." Chubby guy shook his head so vigorously that his cheeks made a snapping sound, "Speaking of influence and status, he might surpass any friend, but when it comes to money, that's a different story."

"What do you even know? Take the alien invasion, for instance, the Federation was supposed to unite with the Diya Alliance. Though media coverage varies widely, their narratives are surprisingly consistent, something the government has hinted at, but... in the end, the Northern War Zone accepted Rekart, and the event quickly faded from public sight without further reports. Do you know why?"

"Why, why is that?"

"Because of Feng Yi, because he came back, and easily suppressed the matter. Early in the era, if Feng Yi had been present, I wouldn't have had to sign that so-called three-year confidentiality (slave) agreement with those Federation politicians. Responsible for the Northern War Zone, he once recaptured Alpha, conquered the Roland Battlefield, liberated Mardis, and was freely elected as the supreme leader of the resistance by Mardis locals—not a presidential appointment, genuinely a democratic election. Thus, strictly speaking: everything Feng Yi does in Mar isn't bound by the Federation; he's not officially subordinate, even without military rank. Feng Yi's national and international influence exceeds those like Adams or even Greedy Wolf."

"But this has nothing to do with financial strength."

"You're wrong again."
