Chapter 993
One could say that the Ninth King was courageous, yet she would shriek in fear at the sight of a rat . On the other hand, one could say that the Ninth King was cowardly, yet she even dared to fake an imperial decree .
In Ling Han's eyes, however, she was merely a lonely young girl .
That was right, she was just lonely .
Although she was the Ninth King, in possession of great power and protected by the empress like a reverse scale, she was in fact very lonely . She didn't have any companions of the same age, and the other eight kings, as well as the empress of the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, were all too busy with cultivation to accompany her . Moreover, the guards by her side were all extremely respectful and obedient, and there was no way that they could become her friends .
This was also why she had unexpectedly praised Ling Han as a strong character when he didn't kneel upon seeing her—she had seen far too many people kneel before her . In fact, she desperately craved a friend of the same age, and this was also why Shui Yanyu had become friends with her so quickly .
With the Ninth King accompanying him, Ling Han was able to tour the entire Imperial Capital . Only when the sun started to set did the Ninth King reluctantly let him leave .
Ling Han returned to the Academy, only to find that Li Weiwei and Ji Yun'er had already come . Both of them could barely contain their excitement .
Ling Han smiled, and said, "Judging by your huge grins, it looks like you've already collected the winnings . "
"Hehe, I went to collect our winnings straight away, so how would they dare to cheat me?" Li Weiwei smugly retrieved a black card and tossed it toward Ling Han . "This is a True Origin Stone Card issued by the Majestic Empire, and you can use it to exchange True Origin Stones from the Majestic Empire's private banks at any time . It's extremely easy, and you can exchange as much as you want . "
Ling Han nodded in understanding . Four million True Origin Stones was no small sum, and perhaps even the Majestic Empire's private banks didn't store such a great amount of wealth .
However, he was an emperor himself, so he knew that the existence of such virtual currency would allow the number of liquid assets in circulation to grow manifold, thereby promoting the development of businesses . Anyhow, in terms of cultivation alone, how many True Origin Stones could one spend in a day?
Most of the time, True Origin Stones were merely a type of currency . With the support of a Majestic Empire, such currency could naturally be made virtual .
After collecting their winnings, it was no surprise that Li Weiwei and Ji Yun'er were both over the moon with excitement . They had gambled a mere 3000 True Origin Stones each, yet after a multiplication of 10, and then a multiplication of 100, they both had a huge wealth of 3,000,000 True Origin Stone now .
Truth be told, 3000 True Origin Stones was already a large amount of wealth . Both ladies had been reluctant when placing their bets . Now that their wealth had exploded to a whopping 3,000,000, they were naturally overcome with delight .
Ling Han was also extremely overjoyed . However, such easy money could only be made once . After learning of his freakish talents, what gambling business would dare to place high odds on him in the future?
He nodded in his mind . If he wanted to make money in the future, he would need to turn his focus back to alchemy .
He had enough wealth now, so he could lavishly spend his money on alchemy . If this weren't the case, he would become dirt poor after refining a mere few cauldrons of pills .
"That's right, I heard that one other person bet on you to win . " Li Weiwei laughed, and said, "In addition to our bet, the gambling business almost broke even with what they received and paid out . They didn't earn a single cent . "
Ling Han was slightly surprised . 'There was actually someone else who optimistic about my chances? Who was it?'
An aloof yet beautiful face instantly appeared in his mind . Perhaps only Shui Yanyu was aware of some of his freakish capabilities . Moreover, it was likely that only she would support him .
"I obtained an invitation to the auction for you . Don't miss it, it's held at night three days from now . " Li Weiwei handed him an invitation .
Ling Han nodded as he took the invitation, and said, "I'll definitely be there . "
Li Weiwei smiled in satisfaction, and then left with Ji Yun'er .
Now that their wealth had exploded, they naturally didn't care about the small morsels that they made from selling food ingredients anymore . Li Weiwei and Ji Yun'er simply asked him for some ingredients to use by themselves . These ingredients were like Spiritual Meat, and one would become addicted after tasting them .
Shui Yanyu arrived not long after the two females left .
