Chapter 24 - Protagonist is about to show off, and Su Lin wants to make a bet
He never expected the price to increase in value so rapidly. In his previous life, Xu Jie mentioned a transitional period of about half a month.
However, after the rebirth, he realized how terrifying this game could be. The necklace’s price changes every hour. Last night, it was still 3,500 on the forum, and when he woke up, it had already risen to 4,000.
Besides marveling at people being so wealthy, all that remained was anticipation for the price to rise further. Arriving at school, Xu Jie immediately found Ye Feng.
“Brother Feng, have you played Angel City?”
Ye Feng nodded, “Yes, just played a bit less these days.”
Xu Jie, feeling uneasy, said, “Brother Feng, your recent absence from the game is a real loss. Let me tell you, someone in Class 7 sold a Necklace of Fate in the Internet cafe yesterday, right on the spot. Can you guess how much it sold for?”
“How much?”
“2,500! Unbelievable!”
“2,500, that’s quite high.” Ye Feng made a surprised gesture.
Xu Jie continued, “High? Not at all. Right after that person bought it, others started bidding. It immediately went up to 3,000. Later, I found out in the guild that there’s a bug in the Fate of Necklace. Now all major guilds are buying them to fight world bosses.
“Last night, World Conqueror’s guild fought two world bosses and got a Contest Order. I heard that it could have been sold for 300,000, but World Conqueror didn’t want to sell it. ”
Ye Feng listened with relish, “Is this necklace really that valuable?”
“More than just valuable. This necklace has been constantly increasing in price. I bet if the bug isn’t fixed, it’ll easily reach 10,000.”
Ye Feng shook his head, “10,000 is unlikely. As the necklace becomes more popular, in a few days, the entrance of the dungeon will be crowded. By then, there will be more Necklace of Fate.”
“Uh… That makes sense, but it’s definitely going to rise.”
“World Conqueror’s guild is the only guild that has a Necklace of Fate per member. The other major guilds haven’t acquired them yet. Sigh! Tell me, why is my luck so bad? I spent half a day in the dungeon yesterday, but I didn’t even get a single drop. ”
“Haha~!!! Brother Jie, I still have something to do, you go play first.”
“Alright, then I’ll leave first.”
Seeing Xu Jie run away, Ye Feng walked to Xia Shiyu’s side. “Shiyu, don’t go to the hospital after school tonight. Come with me to the Internet cafe.”
Xia Shiyu’s eyes widened. “Ye Feng, you mean…”
Ye Feng nodded. “It’s time to collect the goods. Let’s go collect the money together tonight.”
“How much?” Xia Shiyu asked curiously.
Ye Feng gestured with a six, “Approximately 600,000, including the initial investment.”
“Wow! So much! Feng, you’re not lying to me?” Tears welled up in Xia Shiyu’s eyes.
Ye Feng nodded. “Shiyu, we grew up together. How could I lie to you?”
“Alright! I’ll go with you after school in the afternoon.”
“Alright, then it’s a deal.”
“Okay~!!”
After Ye Feng and Xia Shiyu agreed, he turned to look at Su Lin and gave him a provocative look. Su Lin returned a faint smile as if he didn’t care.
This smile was also noticed by Yan Huan, who thought Ye Feng was looking down on her. She suddenly exploded. Pointing at Ye Feng, she questioned, “Ye Feng, what do you mean by this?”
Ye Feng looked puzzled, “What do you mean?”
Yan Huan sneered, “Still pretending to be ignorant? Just because I didn’t agree to be your girlfriend, you’re treating me rudely now.”
“Rude? How am I being rude?”
“That look you just gave, don’t think I didn’t see it.” As soon as she said this, the students in the class all quieted down and looked at Ye Feng and Yan Huan.
Ye Feng and Yan Huan’s entanglement started in the first year of high school. Everyone in Jiangning First High School knew that Ye Feng liked Yan Huan.
Yan Huan, on the other hand, was not interested in Ye Feng. Unexpectedly, today they could witness another episode of their drama. Everyone quieted down, watching the two.
Feng Yifei, seeing Yan Huan being insulted, decided to step in, “Ye Feng, I’ve told you several times. Yan Huan is my girlfriend now. Please stop bothering her. I know you can fight, but can you handle a group of people?”
“Don’t make trouble. It won’t look good for everyone.”
Ye Feng looked at Feng Yifei as if he were looking at a fool, “Fancying someone like Yan Huan, you can have her.”
“Tsk… From your tone, it seems like you look down on Yan Huan. I don’t even know who gave you the confidence to act this way. You’ve been pursuing her for three years without success.”
“Ye Feng, although your grades are poor, I think you still have some bottom line. I didn’t expect you to resort to such childish tricks just because you can’t get what you want.”
Su Lin looked at the confrontation between Feng Yifei and Ye Feng with some interest. Feng Yifei was the first little villain that Ye Feng slapped in the face.
“I’m not implying anything, I simply said, if you like someone like Yan Huan, go ahead and take her.”
“What kind of person am I? Well, Ye Feng, do you even realize what kind of person you are? Out of all the six main subjects, did you even pass a single one?”
“As for my grades, I won’t mention them, but I’m in the top ten in the whole class. Although Feng Yifei is a bit behind, he’s still way better than you. So, what kind of person are you?”
“Hehe, are you suggesting that having good grades makes someone a good person, and poor grades make them trash?”
“I didn’t say that, but someone seems to have taken it personally. Also, stop playing these childish games. I already have a boyfriend.”
“Do you dare to make a bet with me?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?”
Su Lin looked at Ye Feng and Feng Yifei with some disappointment. This time, Feng Yifei was going to be humiliated. It was an old-fashioned face-slapping play.
Su Lin expressed indifference and looked at Lin Xiaowan, who was watching the scene, and asked, “Xiaowan, why don’t you stop them?”
Lin Xiaowan smiled, “Let Ye Feng learn a lesson. His grades are so poor, yet he’s so overconfident. I really don’t know who gave him that confidence.”
Su Lin chuckled, “Are you suggesting that Ye Feng will lose?”
Lin Xiaowan nodded confidently, “If it’s against Feng Yifei, Ye Feng might have a chance, but against Yan Huan, it’s impossible.”
Su Lin snapped his fingers. “I think Ye Feng will win.”
“Oh?”
Feng will win.”
“Oh?” Lin Xiaowan, intrigued, looked at Su Lin, “Based on what?”
“Just intuition.”
“Hehe~!! Learning isn’t assessed by intuition; it’s about capability.”
“How about we make a bet?” Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan with a sly smile.
“What bet?” Lin Xiaowan asked with interest.
Su Lin smiled, “Simple. Let’s bet on whether Ye Feng or Yan Huan will win. I bet on Ye Feng. If I win, next Sunday, you’ll go out with me. And whatever I choose for our outing, you’ll have to participate.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaowan’s cheeks blushed slightly. It was well-known in the class that Su Lin liked her, but Su Lin had always been proper in their interactions, treating each other like friends.
She had almost forgotten about this due to their usual interactions. Unexpectedly, Su Lin was now inviting her out, and the purpose was evident.
Seeing that Lin Xiaowan did not respond, Su Lin asked, “Are you afraid of losing, or don’t want to go out with me?”
“Hmph, you think you will win?”
Su Lin shook his head. “Before the results are out, no one dares to say that they will win, but I think Ye Feng will win.”
“You brought this upon yourself. So, what if I bet on Huan winning, and you lose?”
Su Lin shrugged, “You decide. As long as it’s something I can do and not illegal, I’ll agree to it.”
Looking at Su Lin’s doting eyes, Lin Xiaowan’s heart trembled. This gaze was too sweet and easily intoxicating. She looked to the side and did not look at Su Lin and said, “Okay! Then it’s a deal.” After that, she looked at Su Lin and said, “Su Lin, you will lose.”
“Hehe, we will wait and see!!!”
