The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 485: Overflow of Crystal Stone

Nian Shutong and two others took the circular train to the 444 Mineral Field and got off amid the puzzled stares of many.

On the train, the workers also burst into a brief discussion.

"What are they doing going to that wasteland?"

"I have no idea."

"I know, Mineral Field No. 444 sold today."

"No way? Someone actually bought it?"

"Yeah, didn’t that previous incident cause a huge commotion? And they found nothing, so someone still bought it?"

"Maybe they’re just rich."

"Not just that, it’s actually not expensive, I heard it went for just 10,001 Star Coins."

"Just that little?"

"With that kind of money, didn’t it fail to sell before?"

"That’s true."

The workforce exchanged information with one another. At each stop, there were those who got off to work, and during their labor, they chatted to pass the time, which had become a habit for everyone.

Suddenly, the sale of Mineral Field No. 444 for 10,001 Star Coins became almost common knowledge across the Mining Star.

Everyone treated it as a novelty to be discussed casually, as if it were some rich person’s pastime. Who knew what they wanted to do?

For most people, this matter was laughed off, but among their conversation, or rather, the interstellar conversation, the topic was still about that mysterious and powerful woman from a couple of days ago. Who exactly was she?

Nian Shutong’s fight with the ugly bird, as a breaking news event, made it onto the interstellar news and even the top broadcaster’s live stream, which was rebroadcasted.

But the outcome was unseen by everyone. They could only vaguely see the woman carrying away the Fierce Beast, which had one wing severed.

Over the past two days, the topic of this battle remained the number one subject on the Star Network.

Various websites, forums, and video platforms had countless edits of the battle footage, but anyone who posted related videos inevitably gained some traffic.

There were two prevailing questions on the Star Network right now: One was about who this powerful woman was.

The second was about her fighting style. How could she fly? How could she tear apart a Fierce Beast with her hands? How could she set up a protective cover?

Countless whys were being analyzed and over-analyzed by the netizens.

Unfortunately, no definitive conclusions had been reached.

No matter what, this blurry figure had become famous along with her unique fighting style; nonetheless, it proved impossible to imitate.

Unique, mysterious, powerful.

These were the labels the Star Network had affixed to Nian Shutong.

Such a significant event naturally did not escape the Royal Family’s attention. On the day of the incident, Old Song received an order to cease the search.

The Crown Prince, currently the Royal Family’s strongest in sensing power, was overwhelmed with a surge of favorable feelings when he caught wind of the incident, presenting not a single downside.

Even he hesitated. Who could it be that only ever brought benefits to the Royal Family without posing the slightest threat?

From any point of view, a mysterious and powerful person, as long as not part of the Insect Race, warranted the Crown Prince’s respect.

Thus, the Crown Prince issued that order.

Now, two days had gone by, and Old Song withdrew the Legion’s personnel while the mountain went back to business as usual. Regarding the mysterious woman, she had vanished completely.

Nobody knew who she was.

Today, two days later, the Crown Prince was busy handling political affairs when hurried footsteps grew louder and faster outside, racing toward his door.

The knocks were even more urgent than usual, indicating a serious matter. Could it be an Insect Race invasion?

The Crown Prince called out, "Enter," and the door was pushed open.

"Speak."

"Crown Prince, a Crystal Stone has emerged on the Mining Star."

The Crown Prince, who had been gripping his pen a bit too tightly, relaxed his grip. It wasn’t the Insect Race—good.

"Clarify."

The calmness of the Crown Prince prompted the messenger to carefully repeat the report.

"Today, an abandoned mining site on Mineral Star No. 11112 was sold at an extremely low price. However, this afternoon, an aura of Crystal Stones began to emanate from that site. Now many high-ranking families are heading towards the Mining Star."

The Crown Prince put down the pen in his hand and began to issue orders.

"Has Xiong Da returned? He should be nearby, right?"

"Yes, Xiong Da, the First Officer, has completed his mission at the border of the Insect Race and is on his way back. Based on their travel route, they are currently near Mineral Star No. 11112."

The Crown Prince directly contacted Xiong Da, not needing anyone else to relay his orders.

"Crown Prince!"

The slightly rough voice on the other end answered, and the Crown Prince immediately issued his command.

"Xiong Da, make a trip to Mineral Star No. 11112. There is a presence of Crystal Stone aura at the abandoned mine No. 444."

"Your only objective there is to uphold interstellar law. Follow due process. Whoever owns it, owns it. Understand?"

"Yes!"

Xiong Da received the temporary mission, and the starship adjusted its course, beginning its journey towards Mineral Star No. 11112.

On this end, His Highness the Crown Prince dismissed his subordinates and continued to handle his governmental affairs.

A few Crystal Stones naturally wouldn’t tempt the Crown Prince, but if they were taken by others today, then interstellar law would become nothing but a mere display.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to deter these upper-class families.

At this moment, mine No. 444 on Mineral Star No. 11112 was surrounded.

However, it was unfortunate for the others that Nian Shutong had activated the unique protective cover of the Star Network, which, although not sturdy, provided certain "legal" effects.

Nian Shutong herself did not expect that there would be such an abundance of Crystal Stones here, nor that just ten centimeters beneath the base of the original mining effort, Crystal Stones would appear.

Furthermore, one third of them were top-grade crystal stones.

When Nian Shutong discovered the Crystal Stone overflow, she had Little Pink Pig, Little Silver Snake, the little white mouse, and even Daodao’s original form, all stay behind to mine the stones.

As for herself, she was out with Dou Dou and Fu Yunhe, chatting with others.

Openly chatting was also a way to stall for time. Better to avoid a fight if possible.

The most crucial point was not to damage the Crystal Stones. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Those who had rushed over also knew one thing: their small group included only three people, and one was a child.

Everyone being outside indicated that no one was mining inside, and the Crystal Stones were temporarily safe.

Because Crystal Stones and some other minerals contained energy, they could confuse the magnetic fields of the machinery. This was one of the reasons why mining employed a large workforce.

Therefore, these families that had hurried over were keen to negotiate with Nian Shutong outside, hoping to partake in the bounty.

The allure of Crystal Stones was indeed too great.

Ownership of a Crystal Stone mine could significantly enhance a family’s power.

When Nian Shutong and her group came out, they all feigned an innocent look.

"What seems to be the problem?"

The people outside didn’t quite know how to discuss amongst themselves, but eventually, they chose a representative to step forward.

A person with the appearance of a scholar approached Nian Shutong and said, "This humble servant from the Chi Family is but a minor steward. Today, representing everyone’s wishes, I would like to discuss the matter of this mine with you?"

Upon hearing it was the Chi Family, Nian Shutong no longer wished to feign innocence.

She asked casually, "Discuss what? Isn’t this mine mine?"
