Chapter 20 Rich Woman, Hungry
"This doesn't make sense. Why can't they detect anything?" Black Tower said, his face full of resentment and confusion.
As a dignified envoy of knowledge, I should have memorized most of the data in the universe, but the data detected from Chen Feng clearly showed that he had never left this world at all.
Unless the time travel was fake? But she also watched the live stream and compared it with the star map. She was certain that it couldn't correspond to any position in the Milky Way, which meant that Chen Feng had indeed left this world.
"Chat groups..." After much thought, Black Tower could only attribute it to the existence of chat groups.
"Black Tower, I should be done now, right? Can I leave now?" Chen Feng asked quickly, looking at Black Tower who was frowning.
Black Tower didn't reply, he just waved his hand.
"OK!"
Chen Feng rubbed his lower back—although the Black Tower's experimental platform was actually very ergonomic, he felt he needed a sense of ritual to express the exhaustion of being "studied"—and strolled leisurely through the pristine passageways of the Black Tower space station.
"Finally escaped...tsk, the thirst for knowledge of geniuses is truly terrifying." He muttered to himself, his gaze aimlessly sweeping across both sides of the passage.
Then, he stopped in his tracks, and the corners of his mouth habitually curled up in an intrigued smile.
Not far ahead, around the corner of the passage, a familiar gray figure was half-squatting next to a large metal trash can with obvious garbage sorting signs.
The figure moved nimbly, one hand bracing against the edge of the trash can while the other reached inside, groping for something. Gray hair swayed slightly with the movements, and the expression was so focused that it seemed as if the person was exploring some ancient ruin.
It is none other than our Galaxy Baseball Hero – Star.
Chen Feng silently approached, crossed his arms, leaned against the corner wall, and cleared his throat: "Ahem, my dear daughter, don't you have anything you want to say to your old man?"
Xing froze abruptly, clearly startled by the sudden sound.
She quickly pulled her hand out of the trash can, instinctively hiding it behind her back before turning around. When she saw Chen Feng, a hint of embarrassment at being caught flashed in her amber eyes, but it was quickly replaced by feigned composure.
"...Dad?" Xing straightened up, dusted off non-existent dust from his hands, and tried to change the subject. "The experiment is finished? Did Lady Black Tower dissect you for research?"
"Cut me? She wouldn't dare!" Chen Feng raised his chin, displaying the "authority" of a commander. "Your father is a cosmic-level hard currency; cutting me up would be such a waste. But you..."
He glanced meaningfully at the trash can. "With so many entertainment options on the space station, why don't you go here and rummage through garbage? That's quite a unique hobby, isn't it?"
A rare, suspicious blush appeared on Xing's face, but she stubbornly insisted, "What do you know! This is called...resource recycling! The space station is so big, there might be forgotten treasures inside! Look at this!"
As if to justify her actions, she proudly pulled out a crumpled snack bag from behind her back, printed with some kind of cute little animal.
"Look! An empty bag of limited edition Pam potato chips! Even though it's empty..."
"Stop changing the subject." Chen Feng rolled his eyes. Although he knew Xing had a habit of rummaging through trash cans as a transmigrator, he really couldn't get used to it.
Chen Feng looked at Xing Youyou with a gloomy expression and said, "Where's the money?"
"What money?" Upon hearing this, Xing immediately pretended to be clueless: "Dad, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Oh, by the way, are you hungry? How about I treat you to something to eat?"
"Money!" Chen Feng flipped the script, his way of changing the subject so obviously was a joke. Did they think he was stupid?
"Where's the money you got from selling me? Give it to me! What kind of money does a child like you have!"
"No~ This was given to me by the Black Tower, even if you are my father, it's not okay." Xing clutched her pocket and quickly turned to run away.
"Hey! You unfilial son!" Chen Feng really didn't expect Xing to be so shameless, and immediately chased after him.
"Dad, stop chasing me! I won't give you the money!" Xing shouted as she ran forward, when a figure appeared in front of her.
Seeing this, Xing ran behind the figure as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.
"Estella, help! My dad's trying to steal my money!"
The figure was none other than Estella. At this moment, Estella looked at the behavior of the father and daughter with a blank expression, unable to understand it.
"Estella, get out of the way! I want her to know what a father's authority is!" Chen Feng, seeing Xing hiding behind Estella, immediately stopped and said to her.
"Mr. Chen Feng, let's talk this out. What exactly happened?" Aster glanced at Xing behind her and acted as a peacemaker.
"That unfilial son..." Chen Feng's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and he vividly told Aistar about how Xing had just sold him out.
"Oh, I see." After hearing Chen Feng's description, Aista breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a matter of 50,000 credits.
Estelle took out her phone and did something, and the next second, a voice came from Chen Feng's phone—
"Credit points +10000000"
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, thousands, tens of millions!!!"
As Chen Feng counted the remainder, he was somewhat dazed. Regardless of his past or present life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a long number.
"Rich lady, I'm hungry. Do you need a housekeeper? I think I can handle it." Chen Feng's eyes were shining, and he practically had the word "greedy" written all over his face.
Aesta blushed slightly: "Mr. Chen Feng, please don't tease me. After all, this matter is because of Ms. Black Tower. In addition to managing the space station, I am also responsible for purchasing supplies for Ms. Black Tower."
"So consider this ten million as payment for your research for Ms. Black Tower." Estella shook her head; to be honest, she felt the amount was too little.
After all, this is a Commander. Ten million credits are enough to get a Commander to take action. You can't find a deal like this even if you break your head.
"The boss is generous." Chen Feng gave a thumbs up, suddenly feeling no longer wronged. He could earn ten million just by lying down; where else could he find a job like this?
"So Estella, you're actually a rich woman." Hoshino's eyes lit up instantly as he looked at Estella with surprise.
Estelle "..."
Sometimes she really wondered if the two of them were really not father and daughter.
"By the way, Estella, what are you doing here?" Chen Feng suddenly asked.
Chen Feng, who possessed a fortune of ten million, no longer cared about the paltry fifty thousand, and stopped worrying about Xing's affairs. He looked at Aisda with suspicion.
