Gaining Merit (First Update Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Xia Chujian was speechless.

She said carefully, "San Zong, a lot of things on the Star Network aren't real. They're made up by netizens. If you really want to broaden your horizons, you should look at professional websites."

San Zong seemed to understand, but not really, and said, "…Made up? So, there aren't any rice seeds that can grow into rice plants over ten meters tall?"

Xia Chujian: "..."

"Of course not. Even if there were, it would be an absolute secret of the Empire. Do you think they'd let people blather about it online?"

San Zong's face went from red to white, and he suddenly stammered, "…But, but, that person swore it was true, and San Zong… San Zong paid him some money. He promised to mail the seeds to San Zong…"

Xia Chujian: "!!!"

"How much money did you give that swindler?"

San Zong said with a mournful face, "San Zong doesn't have much money. It's just the pocket money Xia Gugu gives San Zong every month…"

"How much?"

"…One hundred star coins each month, so it was four hundred star coins in total. San Zong gave it all to that swindler…"

Xia Chujian: "..."

Four hundred star coins was enough for a family of three in Mulan City to live a moderate life for a month.

Xia Chujian said earnestly, "San Zong, in the future, if something like this happens, can you ask Liu Shun first, okay?"

Xia Chujian decided that when she got back, she would immediately reinstall the hardware that allowed internet access for Liu Shun! This family's network security needed Liu Shun to guard it!

Xia Chujian clutched her chest, heartbroken.

Network fraud was really too hateful!

They even swindled an honest Humanoid like San Zong! So that night, Liu Shun was finally able to connect to the internet.

It also learned the whole story of San Zong being swindled from Xia Chujian.

At the same time, Xia Chujian was solemnly educating Wu Fu and Si Xi, who were sitting on the ground.

"Si Xi, Wu Fu, in the future, when you go online, remember not to pay attention to those accounts that ask you for money, unless it's a legitimate marketplace on the Star Network. Treat any personal account that asks you for money as a swindler and beat them to death!"

Wu Fu looked at her blankly, and Si Xi "Wu Er Fu! Wu Er Fu!" meowed twice, then continued to roll the ball of yarn.

San Zong knew he had been swindled and was so heartbroken that he didn't even want to eat dinner.

Xia Chujian asked Liu Shun to deliver dinner to San Zong's room.

Liu Shun came out with a beaming San Zong not long after.

"San Zong, have you finished eating? Have another bowl," Xia Yuanfang said with a smile, pretending not to know about San Zong's embarrassing situation, so he wouldn't feel bad.

Unexpectedly, San Zong took the initiative to say, "Liu Shun is really amazing! It found the swindler, reasoned with him, and then the swindler returned the money to San Zong!"

He was using Xia Chujian's old Smart Bracelet, which also had its own digital currency account.

Xia Chujian glanced at Liu Shun, not really believing that Liu Shun would "reason" with people.

Half of Liu Shun's head was dented, and its eye display was broken. Everyone couldn't see the red light in its eyes, and it actually felt more comfortable now.

Liu Shun said in a slightly stiff electronic synthesized voice, "Liu Shun just told the other party that network fraud exceeding a certain amount would be monitored by the Special Security Bureau. Then Liu Shun reported the person's home address, said it knew his identity, and would report him if he didn't return the money. The person immediately returned the money to San Zong and then blocked San Zong."

Xia Chujian was curious, "Liu Shun, how did you know the other party's home address?"

Liu Shun honestly said, "Liu Shun found the social media account associated with the transaction account based on the other party's and San Zong's transaction accounts. Then, through the social media messages the other party sent every day, it located the planet and city where the other party was located. Then… through very strategic conversation, it made the other party voluntarily reveal his house number."

In general, it was a program that summarized big data and extracted important and effective information.

Xia Chujian said in surprise, "Liu Shun's analytical ability is so strong! It really is the most advanced Housekeeping Robot!"

Liu Shun turned around a few times on the ground, showing joy, and said, "Liu Shun is going to work!"

It busily slid back and forth in the dining room and kitchen, cleaning the dining room, tidying up the kitchen, and even using the dishwasher.

Xia Chujian looked at Liu Shun's cylindrical body, the sliding discs used as feet, and the half-dented mechanical head, and thought, this could be considered a child…

...

The day after they discussed how to fix Liu Shun's head, which was Friday, Su Buyan finally arrived at Guiyuan Star.

This time, he was still borrowing Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet that could perform space jumps to come to Guiyuan Star.

Xia Chujian immediately piloted her Flying Vehicle to the Mulan City branch of the Special Security Bureau, to welcome Su Buyan.

This was the second time she had seen Su Buyan in person.

The first time was when Su Buyan came to Mulan City to deliver the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha to her, and then she became his assistant in a daze.

This was the second time, and she was no longer his assistant, but his disciple.

When Su Buyan saw Xia Chujian, he happily reached out to her and said, "Disciple, your Master really misses you!"

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, wondering if it had to be so dramatic. She politely shook his hand and said, "Thank you, Master, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to our Guiyuan Star Mulan City. Do you have anything else to do? If not, come with me to my house. My Aunt has prepared a feast for you!"

Su Buyan hurriedly said, "I do need to go to your house. I brought you the most advanced Air Defense Identification System! From now on, not to mention those Flying Vehicles, even if a bird wants to fly over your territory, it will have to go through my Air Defense Identification System!"

Xia Chujian: "...".

"Master, there's no need to be so strict, really no need..."

"You are my disciple, of course there is a need!" Su Buyan said with confidence, and followed Xia Chujian into her Flying Vehicle.

Su Buyan looked around in her Flying Vehicle and said, "This Flying Vehicle is a Civilian Flying Vehicle, right? Not a Combat Aircraft."

Xia Chujian nodded: "Master is amazing, this is indeed a Civilian Flying Vehicle."

Feng Qianzhan probably didn't have the connections to buy a Combat Aircraft.

But luckily it was a Civilian Flying Vehicle, so San Zong, Aunt Chen, and Zhu Yingying could live comfortably.

Su Buyan nodded: "In Mulan City, this kind of Flying Vehicle is enough. But if it were on our Kanli Star, Civilian Flying Vehicles are not allowed to fly outside the city."

Xia Chujian said, "Master, are you from Kanli Star? Haven't you always been on Beichen Star?"

Su Buyan said, "I do spend most of my time on Beichen Star, but on Kanli Star, there is the Su Family's territory. The Su Family Main Residence is on Kanli Star. My father and two younger sisters spend most of their time on Kanli Star every year, and only go to the Holy Church headquarters on Beichen Star for major events."

Xia Chujian said "Oh", not daring to ask too much about Su Buyan's family.

She already knew that Su Buyan's father, Su Yanxing, was the famous High Priest of the Beichen Empire, and also one of the Four Great Dukes.

Such a figure was someone that even when people gossiped, they would unconsciously avoid.

Su Buyan himself had many questions.

He asked with great interest: "How is the Shao Siming Mecha working for you? Didn't you say it helped you escape the fire this time?"

Xia Chujian thought, it did more than just help her escape the fire this time, it had helped her many times...

She said with a smile: "It's very good, I like it very much. I didn't know it even had the function of detecting air quality."

Su Buyan showed a contemptuous expression, and said with a snort, "It's not detecting air quality, it's detecting harmful gases! All the data of gases that are harmful to the human body are stored in its smart chip."

Xia Chujian smiled: "Yes, that's the function. I'm ignorant, thank you for your guidance, Master."

Su Buyan became happy again and said, "Besides that? Any suggestions?"

He looked at Xia Chujian with great interest, eager to get some more suggestions from her, so as to further improve the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha.

Xia Chujian thought for a while and said, "Everything else is fine, except for the helmet..."

"What's wrong with the helmet? Is there a design flaw?" Su Buyan suddenly became nervous.

Xia Chujian tilted her head and said, "How should I put it? It's not a design flaw. It's just that I can wear this Mecha close to my body, and then put on a coat to cover it up, but the helmet can't be hidden. But not wearing the helmet at all is a pity, because many functions can't be used. Do you think there is any way to hide the helmet as well?"

The butterfly-wing-like helmet was not that it was not good-looking, but that it was too good-looking, too abrupt.

If someone suddenly saw her wearing it alone on her head, they would think she was sick...

Su Buyan frowned: "Why do you want to wear the Mecha inside your clothes? The Mecha should be worn outside! So dazzling! So cool!"

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched and said, "Master, don't forget, I don't want others to know that I have this Mecha, so I must hide it at all times."

"That is a problem." Su Buyan patted his head, "Let me think about how to solve it."

Xia Chujian added, "Master, my Aunt doesn't know that I have become your disciple, and it's not easy for me to explain to her why you took a fancy to me as a disciple, so when we get to my house later, can you just say that you are a Master sent by the Special Security Bureau to help us install the Air Defense Identification System?"

Su Buyan was unhappy: "What's wrong? Is it embarrassing for you to say that I'm your disciple? You can go out and ask around, the people who want to become my disciple can line up from Beichen Star to Kanli Star!"

Xia Chujian said with a smile: "Master, I know that becoming your disciple is a great advantage for me. But, I haven't told my Aunt about the Shao Siming Mecha... If I want to tell her about becoming your disciple, I can't avoid talking about the Shao Siming Mecha..."

Su Buyan was still not happy, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Just tell her, I want to see who dares to have designs on you!"

"Master, I believe you can deal with those who have designs on this mecha. But the problem is, you can't possibly guard me twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. What if someone harms me and steals the mecha? Even if you can avenge me, what good would it do? I'd be dead forever!"

Xia Chujian valued her life very much and didn't want any hidden dangers.

This reason, at least, convinced Su Buyan.

However, he said fiercely, "Chujian, you must train hard! Strive to reach a point where no one dares to have designs on you!"

At the beginning of the month, I still need to ask for guaranteed monthly tickets!

There will be a second update at 1 PM.

Thank you, darlings, for catching the bugs in the previous chapter. It has been revised and will not affect reading. Mwah!
