Chapter 690 A Star with Unfavorable Outings
Ohma a thousand years ago and Ohma a thousand years later seem to be largely unchanged; if anything, it's the people who have changed.
Or perhaps the resources are more abundant than they are a thousand years later, since the severe erosion by the Black Tide a thousand years later has made this world somewhat barren.
…………
As they strolled through the streets of Ohm, Qi Fu and his two companions felt somewhat awkward.
Because they have no money!
"Brother, why don't you conjure up some gold and sell it? At this rate, we'll be starving for most of the day before Heather's treat," Xing said, rubbing his somewhat shrunken stomach.
"Xing, how can you say that? Haven't you heard the saying?" Qi Fu looked at Xing.
"What?"
"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, and starves their body. Therefore, we should follow this principle when accomplishing great things," Qi Fu said earnestly.
"I don't know if we can accomplish anything big, but I do know for sure that we're doing something that requires a lot of hard work and no effort," Xing rolled her eyes.
"Pfft..." Xi Lian burst out laughing when she heard Xing's complaints.
"Xi Lian, you're still laughing? Aren't you hungry?" Xing glanced at Xi Lian speechlessly.
"Hehe, I've been in this narrow passage of fate for thousands of years and haven't eaten anything," Xi Lian chuckled.
"See that? That's what you call a beautiful girl who doesn't need to go to the toilet," Qi Fu said to Xing immediately upon hearing this.
star:"…………"
"puff……"
After a brief silence, Xing was suddenly amused by their words.
"Fine, fine, fine, so you think I'm the only mortal one? Since you all don't need to eat, then don't blame me."
As Xing spoke, she plopped down on the ground and yelled, "I want to eat! I want to eat! My brother and sister are mean! They won't give me any food!"
In an instant, countless gazes drifted from all around.
Qi Fu and Xi Lian: "…………"
You're something else, Star. No wonder you're called Star Core Spirit; you always have a bit of a madman in you.
Xing's actions were ruthless enough that even Xi Lian couldn't help but glance at Qi Fu with a chill down her spine.
So Qi Fu had no choice but to move, directly grabbing Xing, who was not much shorter than him, around the waist, and then picking up Xi Lian with his other hand.
The next second, Qi Fu ran away from the sight of the people of Ohmma as if he were carrying two logs.
…………
I picked up a small pebble from the ground and touched it a couple of times. Suddenly, the pebble turned golden.
"Here, take it and sell it yourself," Qi Fu said helplessly, handing the gold bar to Xing.
"Won't it turn back to normal?" Xing asked casually after weighing the gold ingot in his hand.
"Give it back to me if you don't want it!" Qi Fu demanded the gold back, but Xing dodged it.
"When we finish all our work, our top priority will definitely be the Midas touch. This ability is simply amazing!" Xing chuckled.
"Let's talk about it after you finish all your work. Maybe you'll have a different idea by then," Qi Fu rolled his eyes.
"Xi Lian, what do you want to eat? I'll go sell the gold and bring you some back while I'm at it," Xing said, looking at Xi Lian.
"Could you bring me two bottles of honey? I saw Aglaia and the others drinking it before, and it looked pretty good," Xi Lian said with an expectant expression.
"That stuff is an alcoholic beverage. Someone like you who has never drunk alcohol before can easily get drunk," Qi Fu warned.
"But I want to try," Xi Lian said, unwilling to give up.
"Fine, whatever you want," Qi Fu shrugged and decisively gave up trying to persuade him.
"I'm leaving, you guys wait for me here!" Xing couldn't wait to sell the gold, so she simply said goodbye and turned to leave.
As she walked, she excitedly glanced at the gold in her hand, as if she wanted everyone to know she had a piece of gold.
Seeing this, Xi Lian wanted to remind him of something, but in the end she thought better of it. After all, this was just gold that Qi Fu had created using the Midas touch, and subconsciously, it wasn't anything particularly rare or important.
Next, Qi Fu and Xi Lian found a place nearby to sit down and rest.
…………
--------------
Qi Fu and Xi Lian thought it would take at least an hour for Xing to return, but in less than half an hour, Xing came back with a dark face.
"What's wrong? Why are you back so soon?" Qi Fu and Xi Lian were both surprised.
"Quick, help me catch the thief! My gold was switched by a little brat. I've been looking for her for over ten minutes, but I can't find her," Xing said with a dark face, leaving Qi Fu and Xi Lian speechless.
"So, don't tell me you were targeted by thieves not long after you left?" Qi Fu was speechless.
“I should have reminded you, a thousand years ago Onphalus didn’t seem to have the stable political situation that followed, nor did it have the concept of resource allocation,” Xi Lian added.
"Stop talking, I know I was wrong, so can you hurry up and help me catch that brat?" Xing waved his hand and said.
"Sigh, let's go, take me to see where you were switched," Qi Fu said, walking ahead, and the three of them set off again.
Not long after, Xing led Qi Fu and Xi Lian to the place where she was attacked. Qi Fu snapped his fingers, and then a phantom appeared.
These phantom images are scenes of Xing being attacked. From these images, we can see that Xing was very excited when he was attacked, and the gold in his hand kept rising higher and higher.
Just then, a little girl dressed in thin clothes darted out, collided with Xing, and both of them sat down on the ground.
The gold in Xing's hand fell to the ground, and Qi Fu and the others could clearly see from the scene how the little girl had switched the items.
As she and Xing fell to the ground at the same time, she swiftly picked up the gold nugget that Xing had dropped.
Then he threw a small golden pebble of similar size and shape on the ground, and at the same time opened his mouth.
"I'm sorry, sister, I accidentally bumped into you."
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing serious," Xing said, unaware that her gold had been switched.
"Do you want to come to my house? I'll bandage you up." the child asked again.
"No need, I have important business to attend to. You can go back by yourself," Xing waved her hand dismissively.
"Okay, I'm going back now, goodbye sister." The little girl got up and ran off quickly in one direction.
Seeing the little girl's astonishing running speed, Xing had a question mark above his head: "How can she be so fast?"
It was only then that she realized something seemed amiss. The moment she picked up the pebble, she immediately noticed its unusual weight and then realized it was a similar pebble painted with gold paint.
"Damn it, they tricked me!" Realizing he had been fooled, Xing immediately looked in the direction the little girl had run off in.
However, it was too late; the little girl had already disappeared.
"Where is he? Is he running that fast?"
