Chapter 4: 3: A World of Sorrow (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch 'Resolute Lettuce')_2
"The problem is the boyfriend she got also has an elf bloodline, which is so charming~ I'm so jealous."
"Elf bloodline, that's indeed quite rare now, most of the elves on the planet have migrated away."
Initially, this planet was developed by a consortium of the elf race within the Federation, so its name has the distinctive elf characteristic, 'Jade Skirt', but with the subsequent industrial development and environmental deterioration, many elves have slowly left this planet, moving to other Star Domains in the Federation.
"Exactly, that's why I'm envious. Her boyfriend even bought her the latest 'Mo Yun Workshop' personal terminal, I saw the online price is at least 30,000 Federation Coins."
"Wow, that's so rich." The others sighed.
The income gap between the different Star Domains within the Federation is huge, and the median income within the 'Four-leaf Crystal' Star Domain is 32,400 Federation Coins/year, meaning this amounts to an ordinary person's annual salary.
"That Tiffen really knows how to, even at the winter festival party, she knew to intentionally wear a dress to lure boys in, putting up with the cold weather just like that, and now who knows what tricks she pulled again, tsk tsk."
"Why don't you try it, Mili?" Lina teased from the side, seemingly accustomed to such matters.
"Me? I reckon I'd have to wait until junior year. If my grades are still good by then, I could ask my aunt for some money for cosmetic surgery and beautification, I'm quite familiar with this, after all, many in my family work in related industries."
"Mili, you're such a pushover, you're really too timid, go for it directly, those boys are easy to deceive, don't tell me you've never had a boyfriend before; it's mainly because finding one who is rich, handsome, and single is not easy."
Clara ridiculed her companion unabashedly, not caring about offending anyone with her words.
"You." Mili wanted to retort and snicker back, but looking at Clara's decent figure and skin, she suddenly felt a surge of self-doubt and her voice faded.
However, she turned her head and saw the gray-haired girl standing in the corner, her mood suddenly improved.
"What about you, Hexia? With your looks, you should have had several boyfriends by now. How come they don't buy you anything?"
Suddenly, the topic focused on Lina again, while the gray-haired girl became an object of no interest once more. However, she didn't need the attention. In fact, being ignored allowed her to relax a little.
Time slowly passed, and the car Hexia called arrived.
"Hey, did you call for a car yourself? Had I known, I would have asked you to join us in a carpool. That would have saved a lot of money." Lina was a little surprised.
"Oh, this." Hexia didn't know how to respond, she could only nod her head and then quickly walked into the car, the door closing gradually after her.
Once she sat in the gray hover car, the sound of rain and clamor outside became quiet, and only a faint beeping noise from inside the car could be heard.
The automatic AI system began to give reminders, then text appeared on the screen in front of her.
[Welcome aboard, your destination is: Northern Seventh District, Payin City, 653 Xuan stone Street, Skylight]
[Please confirm: Yes/No]
"Confirm."
[Received, the vehicle is planning the route, please wait]
[Planning complete, beginning to drive...]
The mechanical voice of the automatic AI was calm and quiet, which gradually stabilized the girl's previously chaotic mind.
Electronic AIs are really nice, at least they don't say things that hurt one's feelings.
Inside the car, the girl hugged her file bag and leaned against the window, gazing at the gray world outside.
