Chapter 915: Chapter 45: Honed over Two Years
Lady Serlin’s anger had just begun.
After an instance of a forced purchase, in the following three months, several scattered mines containing rhinestone were also forced to be bought.
What shocked her was that when her subordinates finally figured out the names of the companies appearing under different names in various acquisition contracts, and tried to negotiate further acquisition issues, they found that those companies were all shell companies registered overseas.
"How much more rhinestone are we short?" Serlin quickly ordered her subordinates to figure out how much rhinestone she currently possessed.
After confirming the presence of rhinestone at Area 51, in the past two years, Serlin sent out a large number of people to madly acquire mines across the globe that might contain rhinestone. However, none was like the destroyed underground Mafu Mine at Area 51, where such a large amount of pure rhinestone was found at one time.
During her first universe crossing, she had Little Pig’s mother, an adult Yu Feng. But not long after the universe travel, due to the long journey and Earth’s sparse spiritual energy, Yu Feng soon died.
To retake Beast Star, Serlin must use other methods, such as a spaceship, to traverse. This is why Serlin established the Rosette Consortium, investing in multiple fields and even extending her reach into the astronomy domain.
Her efforts and substantial financial investments were not in vain, as after the Area 51 incident. Leveraging some rhinestone pieces she found on Earth, her subordinate research institute successfully developed a spacecraft capable of universe crossing more than half a year ago.
Unfortunately, most of the rhinestone she had on hand had already been used in experimental research. After some calculations, she needed about one more ton of rhinestone to safely complete the universe crossing.
"Immediately contact Perry, Love, and also contact the contestants from various countries who might participate in this year’s Cangqiong Palace selection. Try to interact with them as much as possible. Just say that the Roster family will sponsor all of their competition and future cultivation expenses. I only have one condition. After completing the Cangqiong Palace trial, ask the guide from the Palace to give them a reward, a map marking the last rhinestone resources on Earth," Serlin didn’t know what method the other party used to infer the areas on Earth possibly containing rhinestone, but since her people could infer such geographical locations, it was very likely that the other party used the same method. She had to gather the final ton of rhinestone.
"Xuerou, thank you for your hard work," time had already entered June, and Xiao Xian, Xuerou, and Yiyi, like when they were in school, sat in Xuerou’s house, drinking green bean soup made by Grandma Zeng.
"It’s nothing, the acquisition is all handled by my mother’s friends around the world, I just go to various places to investigate, using the Treasure Eye method to find rhinestone, but it’s slower," those fighting Serlin for rhinestone were Xiao Xian and his group.
Due to the uniqueness of rhinestone, Serlin dared not openly purchase them, so very few people knew about its effects.
Xuerou had a certain genius "Red Hacker" from the Huake Institute plant a Trojan on Lady Serlin’s computer, so whenever Serlin’s subordinates located potential rhinestone areas, they would always get the information first. Then Little White Jiao would escort Xuerou to that area. Once the "Treasure Eye" confirmed the presence of rhinestone in those mines, they would immediately take action. In this way, they could accurately locate the corresponding mining areas each time.
However, recently it seemed Serlin was getting suspicious, as her team hadn’t been searching for new rhinestone areas for some time. They didn’t know that Lady Serlin had adopted a new strategy, straightforwardly obtaining Earth’s hidden rhinestone locations through Cangqiong Palace.
"Let’s not worry about those, Xiao Xian, the school has sent me a notice saying that in a few days, the Cangqiong Palace selection on campus is about to start. Over the past few years, domestic cultivation talents have dwindled, and the Huake Institute’s reputation has been damaged due to last time, so even a student like me, who had disputes with the school, received an invitation, what do you think?" Yiyi was a bit dissatisfied, Xuerou was flying all over the world, Xiao Xian seemed busy too, and she was the only one left idle. Fortunately, she received the school’s notice this morning.
"Don’t look at me, I didn’t receive a notice, the school knows I’m from the Wen Sect, and such life-risking events aren’t meant for me. I guess, the notice you received was from Wang Shuai, right?" Xuerou made a funny face.
