Chapter 91: What a Hick Who’s Never Seen the World
“Can’t you just make a new one?”
The attendant girl pressed urgently.
It was clear she was quite obsessed with permanently turning Gu Ke into a girl.
Chances were, Gu Ke had caused her a lot of trouble back when he was still male.
Yi Ning curled her lips and sighed helplessly.
“Nope~ because one very important component is missing.”
“What component?”
The attendant girl’s eyes instantly sharpened, and her previously anxious deanor relaxed.
She had thought there might be so special difficulty, but it turned out to be just this?
A missing crucial part.
“Sothing like a component isn’t worth worrying about. Just list out the materials needed to manufacture the machine, Madam will help you prepare everything.”
The attendant girl curled her lips into a smile.
She wasn’t fighting alone. Behind her stood Gu Ke’s powerful family.
Hearing this, Yi Ning’s expression beca subtly complicated.
It seed the idea of turning Gu Ke into a girl forever wasn’t just a personal wish of the attendant girl.
Still, Yi Ning waved a finger.
“Can’t get it… at least not within the next few months.”
She wasn’t the type to hide the truth for Gu Ke’s sake—it really was a part she couldn’t get right now.
“That component was sothing I found on a galactic second-hand website. It was a custom piece made by a scientist from Haigeli Star.”
At this point, Yi Ning tilted her head slightly, her gaze drifting as a bit of cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
Because the seller thought Yi Ning’s provided address was too far, they refused to ship and demanded she co pick it up in person.
But when Yi Ning opened a portal and personally went to collect it, the seller decided she looked like soone easy to bully and suddenly raised the price.
Who was Yi Ning? Would she swallow that kind of insult?
Though they say a gentleman waits ten years for revenge—
Yi Ning was an evil scientist, despicable through and through.
So she got her revenge on the spot.
After humbly buying the component, she turned around and blew up the seller and their lab into the sky.
Never mind whether the lab had been repaired since then—
Even if it had, the seller probably wouldn’t sell anything to Yi Ning again.
Sensing the curious stares of the two across from her, Yi Ning scratched her little head and gave a couple of awkward chuckles.
That reason was really hard to say out loud.
But to Yi Ning’s surprise, what they were curious about seed a bit different from what she had imagined.
“Galactic second-hand site?”
Gu Ke tilted her head, her face full of confusion.
“Yeah.”
Yi Ning nodded, seemingly still not realizing what Gu Ke was puzzled about.
“After all, even though Universe Amazon sells a lot, Earth’s location is a bit too remote. Many galactic couriers don’t service this area.”
“Plus, many sellers are too far away. Even if I use Transform-Fu Star as the drop-off point, there are still lots of tis when the shipping fee costs more than the item.”
Yi Ning rubbed her temples and gave Gu Ke a helpless look.
“So unless it’s sothing I absolutely can’t get elsewhere, I rarely shop directly from Universe Amazon.”
“Uh… no, that’s not it…”
Gu Ke waved her hand, her face also filled with embarrassnt.
“I’m just curious… are there really aliens?”
“Ah?”
This ti, it was Yi Ning’s turn to look confused.
“Why would you think there aren’t aliens in the world?”
“The universe is so vast—even the Milky Way, which is about 200,000 light-years in diater, is just a drop in the ocean. Even if the probability of life forming is extrely low, in such staggering numbers, the actual number must be astronomical.”
Yi Ning looked at Gu Ke, who still sat in her chair with a puzzled look, and felt a bit baffled.
“Even though the Hero Association and Evil Council haven’t publicly spread this news, you’re still the daugh—child of one of the Evil Council’s founders. You an you didn’t know about this?”
“Besides, they’ve only avoided spreading it. They didn’t block the information. You could’ve just searched it online.”
Yi Ning knew Gu Ke hadn’t been particularly valued at ho before. Most of the family affairs were managed by her older brothers. But she hadn’t expected Gu Ke’s family to not tell her even about sothing like this.
She was a child from a powerful family—could she really only shine in wealth and lifestyle and know nothing else?
Oh, right.
Her lifestyle was also taken care of by that attendant girl.
So, apart from being rich, this girl was useless.
Feeling Yi Ning’s scornful gaze, Gu Ke awkwardly pulled out her phone and used it to shield her face.
“After all, my dad doesn’t seem to have any plans to let into the core decision-making group, so he rarely talks to about work. Even now, he pretty much only discusses lifestyle things with .”
Gu Ke offered a weak explanation.
Having been turned from a 180-centiter burly man into a sub-140-centiter loli fra, she still hadn’t fully adjusted to her new body.
Sothing as simple as typing and searching, which used to take re seconds, had beco quite a challenge with her current form.
Her palms were too small. When using her large-screen phone, her thumbs couldn’t even reach the middle letters on the screen. She had to awkwardly hold the phone in front of her face with one hand and tap the screen letter by letter with the other.
“Would you like my help, Miss?”
Seeing such a great opportunity, the attendant girl leaned down, brought her mouth to Gu Ke’s ear, and softly asked.
The breath from her speech gently passed through Gu Ke’s ear canal, tickling her slightly.
She furrowed her brows, and her ears twitched gently.
“No need!”
She dismissed her in a low voice.
“I am your servant. I can do anything for you. There’s no need for you to feel embarrassed.”
The attendant girl was undeterred and continued whispering beside Gu Ke.
“I haven’t lost any limbs, you know.”
Gu Ke rolled her eyes at her, her ears twitching again unintentionally.
And then she added,
“Also, you’re even more annoying than before!”
“Thanks for the complint.”
Feeling Gu Ke’s disdain, the attendant girl finally straightened her posture and stood properly behind her.
Unfortunately, judging from the slight curl of her lips, Gu Ke’s disdain had little effect.
No.
To the attendant girl, this kind of thing might actually be a reward.
After quite a while, Gu Ke finally lifted her head.
She looked at the word “yes” on her phone screen with a helpless expression and muttered reluctantly.
“So it’s actually true.”
Although she had already prepared herself ntally, seeing that word on her phone still made her feel humiliated.
She felt like so kind of hick who’d never seen the world.
As the most pampered daughter of one of the Evil Council’s founding families.
Gu Ke said as much.
