Back in the dormitory at night, Ashen was full of money. He didn't care how other people laughed at him, he only had one idea in his mind, that is, how to get money!

  He first thought of borrowing money, the most traditional way. But on second thought Data World is so Power, when he reached Tier 4 before, all kinds of students in the whole Institute of Advanced Studies wanted to make friends with him and invited him to the banquet. Everyone said they were Genius.

  But where have those people gone since their own Data EquivalentLevel has dropped and dropped?

  Expecting those people to lend themselves money?

  He unconsciously shook his head, now that he was on his side, who would lend him money but Nina?

  Nina on the other hand definitely has money although I don't know what Nina's family does or how much money they have. But one time, Rosalo , the mayor came to inspect Neon Valley High and didn't even have lunch with the principal at noon, but invited Nina to dinner exclusively.

  This incident stirred up the campus at that time, and from then on, the principal met Nina and gave her face very much. Ashen had never asked Nina what her family did before.

  Nina is willing to lend her money but the problem is that she's a man and she's asking Missy for money?

  Ashen lay on his bed, running his hand over the Black Cube Pendant on his chest, lost in thought.

  abrupt

  He sat up from the bed with a jolt as an idea came to him, and he immediately took the Black Cube Pendant off. Examining it carefully.

  This is what his grandfather left him before he died, and he still remembers that year when his grandfather was lying on his hospital bed, he said to himself that if he really needed it one day, this Black pendant, should be able to sell some money.

  A pang of sadness went through it at the thought, how hard it had to be for an Blank to get started, that it needed the relics of Pawning's loved ones.

  Ouch, he sighed, clutching the pendant in his hand, a twinge in his heart.

  Ashen spent the night thinking about Pawn Shop and the price of Black pendant. So early in the morning, when the cold Blue light lingered in the distant sky where the sun had not yet emerged, he got up early to go for breakfast.

  He wanted to go to the Pawn Shop during the day to see how much this Black pendant cost, and if he could, he would just buy the Data Shard. walked into the school cafeteria and ordered something randomly and just sat down. A light Missy in the field of vision walked into the cafeteria.

  "Nina!" said Ashen, waving at her.

  "Brother."

  Nina smiled sweetly. Quickly walking up to him and locking eyes with him for a moment, she suddenly realized that Brother, who was still in despair yesterday, had hope restored in his eyes at the moment.

  She didn't quite understand what was going on, so she grabbed some fruits and vegetables, sat down next to Ashen, put an apple on her plate next to Ashen, and said, "How many times have I told you, when you eat breakfast, you can't just eat Pancakes! It's not conducive to Data development."

  Nina's little mouth puckered up as she spoke, that baby face red through and through, and Ashen remembered when she first arrived, all black and dressed in rags.

  He remembered the cautious caution revealed in her eyes when he offered to help her with her luggage, as if she had just come back from the dead and hadn't slowed down yet.

  He himself was on his way to buy Nina a breakfast with an apple in it. He smiled a little at the thought, picked up the apple and took a bite and said, " Nina, do you have your Data Containment Bag, can I borrow it?"

  "Yeah, sure! It's okay to give Brother all my stuff." Nina pursed her lips and smiled, not taking an expensive item like the Data Containment Bag seriously at all.

  In the Data World, everything is based on Data. So there is Data Technology Company, which developed this Containment Bag that can compress large volume of Data, or large weight of Data.

  This Data Containment Bag greatly facilitates the Superpowered person, allowing them to move weightlessly while collecting Data Shard in the field.

  It's extremely expensive though, and only people like Jax, Nina, and others at Section Academy have it.

  Sensing that Ashen should have a great use for the Data Containment Bag, Nina blinked and stared at him, "But what are you doing with the Data Containment Bag, Brother? It's not harvesting Data Shard, is it?"

  "Where? I'm Tier 1 here, how can that be, I'm just going to the city to do some shopping." Ashen explained.

  "To the city? Brother! I want to go too, I want you to go shopping with me!" Nina spoke, tugging at his sleeve in a tone that simply wouldn't allow Ashen to refuse.

  "Uh okay! Okay!" Unable to resist Nina's pampering, Ashen had to beg for mercy.

  After breakfast, while the weather is still not too hot, Nina went back to the dormitory to change into a colorful dress , carrying a pink Data Containment Bag and wearing a white flower hairpin on her head.

  Ashen wondered how he was going to get rid of her later and check out the Pawn Shop alone. By then Nina had come to herself and tugged his arm up like a happy bird.

  Looking at her brown Eye, her high nose, Ashen felt that exotic aura about her that he had never seen before in Tian Du City.

  Walking out of the campus, they took the public Skycraft of Institute of Advanced Studies directly to the center of Skyward City.Above them, some Students of Institute of Advanced Studies, following them, whispered about Ashen and Nina while casting all sorts of envious and jealous eyes.

  Hearing the guys talking, Nina pouted. One moment tugging on Ashen's arm, the next pinching his cheeks, the next snuggling up to him.

  Undoubtedly, this action of hers intensified the envious and jealous eyes of those classmates, making them even more hostile towards Ashen.

  But Ashen doesn't care about any of that, and in front of all those people, he even purposely hugs Nina a little tighter, thinking Liam Frost, I'll see you in two years!

  The Skycraft arrived at the outer orbit of Skyward City fifteen minutes later, and from there the entire City looked to be lined with tall buildings, with various Skycraft flying around them.

  The outer layer of the commercial building projected all kinds of virtual commercials and propaganda about Mechanoid. Sitting in Skycraft, traveling through the tall buildings of Skyward City, the sun had risen by this time, and the sunlight kept shaking their eyes, and Nina kept shading her eyes with her hand from time to time.

  Don't look at Skyward City as a pile of raw geographic Shard information that came about after the Dylan Explosion. But it's now the third most commercial City in the Romaine Continent, looking through Skycraft's transparent windows at the advertisements for Mechanoid and Crystal in the skyscrapers.

  Ashen was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion, and it dawned on him that he was actually very close to all of this.

  "What are you thinking about, brother?" Noticing that Ashen's eyes were misty, Nina asked curiously.

  "Nothing?" Ashen smiled faintly at Nina as Skycraft landed in the City airspace.

  In the morning, Ashen accompanied Nina to the mall, and saw those hundreds of thousands of watches and millions of Crystal necklaces.Ashen thought to himself, "One day I'll let the people who love me, the people I love, have all these things; one day I won't let Dad's mom be so old and still have to go out and work to pay for her own schooling, and I won't let the Brothers suffer any more".Ashen also thought to himself, "One day I'll let the people who love me, the people I love, have all these things.

  During this time he saw the Pawn Shop on the side of the mall, and while Nina was trying on clothes, one by one, Ashen said to her, " Nina, you go ahead and try them on while I go out and get a drink."

  "Oh!" Nina didn't think much of it, and with a nod of her head she hugged the dress and dove headfirst into the fitting room.

  Walking out the front door of the mall to the entrance of the Pawn Shop next door, he saw the Mechanoid that greeted him.Ashen touched the Black pendant on his chest and walked in, though sadly.
