Chapter 22 : Earning 1.5 Million in One Night, Regretful Xia Shiyu
That evening, the price of Fate Necklaces skyrocketed. Players in the world channel dominated the public chat with offers ranging from a thousand to over two thousand late into the night.
Su Lin had more than four thousand necklaces in his hands. Roughly calculating, selling these necklaces at an average price of three thousand each could earn him about 15 million.
At the same time, Chen Yang went wild. Calculating at the price of two thousand, Su Lin could make over ten million. In the internet cafe, he sat in his seat in a daze, completely stunned.
“A necklace with an average price of less than one hundred sold for two thousand. Brother Lin will earn tens of millions. This is the difference, this is the gap.”
Thinking about this, he suddenly felt that the twenty thousand he earned wasn’t worth it. However, he soon snapped out of it. His feelings towards Su Lin now were nothing but admiration and awe.
“Brother Lin’s move is truly amazing. He has been planning since the day of the necklace collection. No wonder he asked me to post in the forum. It’s all to hype up the Fate Necklaces. Now, the explosive point has finally appeared. Too amazing!!”
Yang Chen didn’t have any special thoughts about Su Lin’s ten million. On the contrary, he really wanted Su Lin to make money. Now that he saw Su Lin make money, he was very happy for him.
Chen Yang didn’t harbor any special thoughts about Su Lin making over ten million. On the contrary, he sincerely hoped that Su Lin could make money. Seeing Su Lin indeed making money now, he was genuinely happy for him.
Su Lin, without much consideration, directly listed five hundred necklaces on the platform for three thousand each, setting a minimum purchase of ten.
[City of Angels] was a game comparable to DNF, so he didn’t have to worry about the equipment not being able to sell.
The next morning, when Su Lin woke up, he found that he had already sold over four hundred necklaces.
With Su Lin’s pre-planning, the Fate Necklaces exploded immediately after the update. It took a full hour to distribute all the necklaces and put up another two thousand necklaces.
“One and a half million in the time it took to eat breakfast. Even my cheap dad doesn’t earn as much as I do. Hehe.”
When Su Lin arrived at school, he was called out by Yang Chen. “Brother Lin, your Necklace of Fate is amazing. I saw the price rise to three thousand and three hundred this morning.”
Su Lin chuckled, “It’s just the beginning; the price will continue to rise.”
“Big Brother Lin, did you know that the Necklace of Fate would increase in value?”
Su Lin looked serious, “I didn’t know, but I took a gamble. It’s just a few hundred thousand; I can afford it. If I win, I make a big profit. If I lose, it’s just a few hundred thousand.”
“Yangzi, think about what kind of business you can do during the summer vacation. I have over ten million sitting idle. If you have a good project, I’ll leave it to you.”
(TL : His name is Yang but by Su Lin adding zi to his name it shows their close relationship, but in this case he uses it in a form of a joke but not in a bad way.)
“Ah~!! Brother Lin, you’re leaving over ten million to me alone?” Chen Yang was totally stunned.
Su Lin smiled and said, “Who said I’m giving it all to you? I just want you to think if there are any good projects. Investment is a step at a time, I can give you a sum of money to test the waters.”
“Brother Lin, I’ve never done business before.”
Su Lin, hearing this, laughed, “You’ve never done it, have I?”
“Uh….”
“Let’s not talk about business for now. I’ll give you some money later. First, find reliable and capable ones to help you. Understand?”
“I understand, Brother Lin.”
“Mhmm, do a good job. There are a lot of things for you to do later.”
“Hehe…”
In the original novel, Ye Feng always had Chen Yang do the dirty work. Su Lin thought that Ye Feng was wasting talent; although Chen Yang’s entrepreneurial ability wasn’t strong, his management skills were quite good, especially his execution.
As long as a task was given, he could find a way to complete it, even if it was difficult. It would be a waste if such a person was only used for dirty works.
After saying a few more words to Chen Yang, Su Lin was ready to go back to the classroom. However, as he walked down the corridor, he saw Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu chatting.
Xia Shiyu looked absent-minded, and Lin Xiaowan seemed like she was consoling her, speaking continuously.
Su Lin approached, “What are you two talking about?”
Lin Xiaowan, feeling sorry for Xia Shiyu, said, “Xia Shiyu is still worried about her father. I’m comforting her here.”
“Oh? Xiaoyu, Uncle Xia is already on dialysis, The matching is also in progress. You should be happy now. What’s there to worry about?”
Xia Shiyu, upon seeing Su Lin, tried to smile, but it turned into an awkward expression.
“Alright, Xia Shiyu, don’t force a smile. If you can’t smile, then don’t. What’s really going on? Tell us. We might be able to help you.”
“Yeah, Xia Shiyu, what’s going on? Ever since we went to see your father, you’ve been acting strange these days, speaking absent-mindedly.”
“I… Xiaowan, Su Lin, don’t ask. I can’t say.”
It would have been better if Xia Shiyu didn’t say this. As soon as she said this, Lin Xiaowan’s face changed. She looked at Xia Shiyu and said seriously, “Xiaoyu, what happened? Don’t scare me.”
“Woo woo!! Xiaowan… Don’t ask, I really can’t say. ”
Looking at Xia Shiyu’s serious expression, Lin Xiaowan could only helplessly compromise, “Alright, alright, I won’t ask. Xia Shiyu, something must have happened. You must remember that I’m here for you, and so is Su Lin. We’ll help you.”
Su Lin nodded. “Xiaowan is right, we will definitely help. Shiyu, you don’t have to worry too much about Uncle Xia’s kidney transplant. Xiaowan and I will help.”
She knew about Ye Feng hoarding equipment, but her emotions were in turmoil. Despite many days passing, there was no improvement, and her heart had sunk.
The discomfort wasn’t about the possible loss of the eighty thousand Ye Feng borrowed. Instead, it was the sadness of not knowing how to explain it to Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin when the time comes.
Especially Su Lin, who generously donated so much money to her. Instead of using it to get her father treated, she let someone use it to hoard equipment on a game. Xia Shiyu wanted to slap herself. How could she be so stupid? Now, she was panicking.
At this time, Ye Feng sat in his seat and looked at Su Lin and the other two outside. He kept saying, “Soon, soon, it will be sold. Xiaoyu, wait for me. Once it rises by another two thousand, I’ll sell all the necklaces. Then there’ll be money to treat Uncle Xia.”
“Su Lin, humph, don’t ever think about touching my Xiaoyu. You’re better off being a scumbag!!”
