Chapter 9 - Chen Yang\'s decision
If this person were Ye Feng, he could have someone rough up Ye Feng and make him scram. But this person was Su Lin, and he had no way to deal with him.
“Fu*k!!”
“Old Feng, don’t even think about it. Look at the way Goddess Xia is smiling; I guess you don’t stand a chance.”
“This Su Lin guy has always liked Lin Xiaowan, right? Why is he hanging out with Xia Shiyu?” Feng Yifei said, sounding somewhat angry.
“Well, you can’t blame others. Su Lin has good grades, looks handsome, and comes from a wealthy family. Old Feng, you really can’t compete with him.”
“Sigh…”
“…”
“Su Lin, no matter what, I want to thank you. If it weren’t for you, my dad wouldn’t even qualify to be able to get a transplant.”
“Mhmm, Xia Shiyu, you go do your work. When I have time, I’ll go to the hospital to see your dad.” Su Lin smiled.
“Okay.”
Watching Xia Shiyu leave with her plate, Su Lin’s gaze lingered on her for a moment. He exclaimed in his heart, Xia Shiyu is indeed a female lead.
Xia Shiyu’s beauty was not as graceful as Lin Xiaowan’s. On the contrary, she was the kind of girl from a humble family who was not tall, only 1.6 meters, and her palm-sized face was very delicate.
If she changed into the popular JK outfit from the previous world, she would have mesmerized many LSPs.
Su Lin quickly retracted his gaze and narrowed his eyes. He was looking forward to the development of Ye Feng after his rebirth.
“I hope it won’t be too boring, Ye Feng. You’ve been reborn as someone approaching thirty. Don’t disappoint me.”
The afternoon passed in intense review. Although there were still three months until the exams, the progress in the senior year was swift, covering all the topics for the semester. They had already entered the phase of intensive review.
As the bell rang, the entire building began to vibrate. Su Lin didn’t take anything and sat in his seat without any movement.
“Su Lin, school is over. Aren’t you going home?” Lin Xiaowan was a little curious when she saw Su Lin sitting on his seat without moving.
In the past, she wouldn’t have spared Su Lin a glance, but now things were different. Su Lin was like a butterfly fluttering around her, catching her attention no matter when.
Su Lin shook his head. “Who said I’m not going home? I just have some things to take care of.”
“Still have things? What things?”
“Uh… It’s a personal matter. Are you curious, Xiaowan?” Su Lin raised an eyebrow.
Lin Xiaowan’s pretty face changed slightly. She then shook her head and said, “Since you still have something to do, I won’t hold you up any longer. I’ll head back first. See you tomorrow.”
“Sure, see you tomorrow.”
When most people had left, Su Lin approached Chen Yang, looking at him with a speechless expression. “Chen Yang, usually, you’re the last one to leave, even when getting food. Now that you don’t have to get food, why are you still the last one?”
Chen Yang grinned. “Sorry, got used to it.”
“Alright, hurry up. Today, we’re going to the internet cafe together.” Su Lin urged.
“Okay!” When it came to business, Chen Yang became serious.
“Big Brother Lin, you’re going to the internet cafe with me today?”
Su Lin nodded. “Of course. I’ve already informed my driver that he doesn’t need to come pick me up today. This matter isn’t small, so I need to check it out personally.”
Chen Yang fell silent. He had thought Su Lin was helping him deliberately before, so he asked him to collect equipment.
But now, back at home, he realized that it was a hundred thousand yuan. Su Lin wasn’t stupid. Why would he throw away 100,000 yuan just to help him? Su Lin must genuinely have something important to do.
The two arrived at the internet cafe and booked a private room. While Chen Yang wiped the table, he explained, “Following your instructions, yesterday I created accounts in all four major game regions and specifically focused on collecting Fate Necklaces, as you requested.”
“I collected over a thousand last night. In the morning, the speed slowed down, and now, the total for all four accounts is over 1,400. I spent over 60,000 yuan, with an average cost of 46.”
“Average cost of 46, not bad, huh? Chen Yang, how many more do you think we can collect?”
Su Lin admitted he knew too little about this game, even though he had inherited the memories of the previous Su Lin, he rarely played online games. This left him somewhat puzzled.
“Big Brother Lin, City of Angels has been online for less than half a year. You can say that it’s a new game. The Necklaces of Fate are the latest boss drops. Although the attributes are a little bad, it’s not that easy to get.”
“Though the attributes are a bit lousy, it’s not easy to come by. So, I estimate we can still collect over two thousand in total for the entire game. And collecting in the later stages might be a bit challenging since I can only do it at night due to classes during the day.”
Su Lin laughed. “Are you stupid? You can find someone to collect them for you. Find a player in the game to collect them. You can give them 71 necklaces, and the profit will be theirs.”
Su Lin chuckled. “You’re naive. You can get other players in the game to help you. Give them seventy-one pieces, and the profit in between is theirs.”
“But… seventy-one pieces, more than two thousand pieces, would be over forty thousand,” Chen Yang hesitated, his expression reluctant. He wished he could spend the day collecting equipment at home and save that money.
“Big Bro Ling, you said it would only take a few days. I can take leave for these days. The over forty thousand can easily be saved.”
Su Lin shook his head. “No, the college entrance examination is approaching. You can’t ruin your future for this small amount of money. Although forty thousand might sound like a lot to you, it’s not much to me.”
“While having a good diploma doesn’t guarantee success in the future, it can elevate your upper limit, understand?”
“I…”
Chen Yang was convinced by Su Lin’s words. Su Lin was the only person who had looked up to him like this since he was a child. These days, not to mention 40,000 yuan, even 400 yuan could kill someone but Su Lin didn’t care at all.
There was an element of him being wealthy, but more importantly, he respected Chen Yang as a person.
Chen Yang knew his own worth. Perhaps in the future, he could have a car and a house and become a boss, but following Su Lin would undoubtedly lead to a better life.
In an instant, Chen Yang made a decision, determined to follow Su Lin. He would rather risk his life than live a mediocre life.
Su Lin waved his hand and said, “Don’t mention it “No need to mention this matter again. If you think the commission is too high, you can lower the price a bit, like 60 yuan. It’s best to find people you know.”
“Alright, I’ll give you a limit of 65 yuan. You can give others 55 yuan or 66 yuan. Just get the job done, and the extra money is yours. I’ll transfer the money to your card later.”
“Okay~!!”
“Well, continue collecting equipment. I’ll create an account now. Once it’s ready, send the equipment to me.”
“Alright!”
Su Lin opened the game and began registering an account. Although he trusted Chen Yang’s character, once this batch of equipment multiplies in value, it would be another matter.
Chen Yang might not be moved by a hundred or two hundred thousand now, but once it multiplies by tens or hundreds of times after an update, it could reach millions.
