Chapter 25 : Fatal Blow
Seeing Su Lin’s calm and composed smile, Lin Xiaowan asked with amusement, “Su Lin, why are you so confident in Ye Feng? What’s your basis?”
Su Lin couldn’t reveal that the current Ye Feng was reborn, with enhanced memory making him a monster. Making up a reason, he casually said, “It’s the power of love, of course.”
“Although Ye Feng and Yan Huan aren’t dating, his feelings for Yan Huan before were genuine. Just imagine, if someone you truly liked treated you like that, wouldn’t you strive to improve yourself?”
Lin Xiaowan nodded, “Makes sense. Although I haven’t been in a relationship, if something like this happened to me, I would also strive to improve also.”
“But Su Lin, you’ve overlooked one thing. The monthly exams are less than a week away. Even if Ye Feng studies non-stop, his grades won’t improve that quickly.”
Su Lin shrugged, “That’s not certain. Human potential is limitless.”
“Hehe, I’m already thinking about what you should do when you lose.”
Su Lin rubbed his chin and smiled, “Then I should think about where to take you for fun. I heard there’s an amusement park at the border of Jiangning and Changning, and they have a haunted house. Xiaowan, we’ll go there when the time comes.”
“Ah!!” Lin Xiaowan was in a dilemma. Despite being fearless almost her entire life, she was scared of ghosts and zombies. Even though she knew they were fake, she couldn’t help it, she was still afraid of them.
She hadn’t expected Su Lin to take her to a haunted house if Ye Feng really won. Just thinking about that scene gave Lin Xiaowan chills.
Su Lin smiled and didn’t continue to scare Lin Xiaowan.
The news of Ye Feng and Yan Huan’s bet spread throughout the senior high school in less than half a day. Almost no one thought highly of Ye Feng.
It couldn’t be helped. His poor grades had been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and Yan Huan’s grades were really good. The gap between them was too big.
After school, Su Lin didn’t wait for Chen Yang. They had already switched to online contact through QQ. So, there was no need for Su Lin to wait for Chen Yang after school, especially since he had a driver to pick him up, making him one of the earliest to arrive home than many of his classmates.
He turned on the computer and logged into the game as soon as he got home.
[The game needs to be updated …].[Greetings, dear player. Due to abnormal game data…].
“Good sh*t! It seems like the developers have patched it. Ye Feng, oh Ye Feng, how are you going to play this time?” Although he didn’t know how much Ye Feng borrowed from Xia Shiyu, Su Lin estimated it to be at least fifty to sixty thousand.
Since the game patch has been released, the Necklace of Fate will now become worthless.
Now that the Necklace of Fate could no longer be stacked infinitely, and the fixed value had also been changed. Forget about reducing the price to fifty yuan; no one would buy it even for twenty yuan now.
“Ye Feng, oh Ye Feng, I wonder what your expression is right now.”
At the same time, Ye Feng brought Xia Shiyu to the internet cafe. It was Xia Shiyu’s first time in an internet café.
When the manager saw Xia Shiyu, he was stunned. He had never seen such a beautiful girl in an internet cafe before.
“Xiaoyu, let me help you turn on the computer. Wait a few minutes, and we’ll be able to collect the money soon.”
Xia Shiyu nodded, “Okay.” Seeing Ye Feng’s confident appearance, hope reignited in Xia Shiyu’s heart and she was full of anticipation as she waited.
A few minutes later, Ye Feng turned on his computer. He directly entered the game and then explained to Xia Shiyu about the items he hoarded, particularly the Necklace of Fate. “Shiyu, this is the equipment I’ve been hoarding, the Necklace of Fate.”
“The price of the Necklace of Fate has skyrocketed due to the update. I used about seven hundred yuan to buy one Necklace, but now each necklace is worth five to six thousand.”
Xia Shiyu covered her mouth. “So much, Feng, you have more than a thousand necklaces, then that’s about a few hundred thousand yuan.”
Ye Feng nodded. “Yes, this should get us about six hundred thousand. Although it’s not much, it’s enough for Uncle Xia’s treatment.”
“It’s enough, it’s definitely enough.”
“Great! I’ll start selling them now. Xiaoyu, wait for me for a moment.”
“Okay!”
Ye Feng opened the game trading platform, preparing to put up all these necklaces for sale. Just as he opened the webpage, he saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.
The equipment trading interface was filled with Necklace of Fate. The prices were lower one after another, with the lowest being sold for 200 necklaces at only 40 bucks each.
“How… how is this possible?”
“What’s wrong, Feng? What happened?” Xia Shiyu’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Ye Feng with confusion.
There shouldn’t be any changes, right? Ye Feng waved his hand. “I’m not sure yet. Shiyu, let me figure it out first.”
“Okay.”
Ye Feng opened the forum and began to read the posts. A post with a red line at the top instantly caught his attention.
[Necklace of Fate bug fixed, World Conqueror might be the biggest winner.] .[Necklace of Fate bug official patched released.].[Necklace of Fate bug fixed, price plummeted, black market dealers became the biggest loser.][Necklace of Fate…]
Ye Feng collapsed into the chair like he had lost his soul, “This… How is this possible.”
“Feng, what happened? Can you tell me?” Xia Shiyu asked with concern.
Ye Feng, with bloodshot eyes, looked at Xia Shiyu, “Xiaoyu, the Necklace of Fate’s bug has been fixed. The equipment is now worthless.”
“What do you mean by worthless?”
Ye Feng smiled bitterly, “It means that the over a thousand necklaces I have are only worth a few thousand bucks now.”
“Ah~!!”
“Xiaoyu, listen to me. I… I still have other ways…”
Xia Shiyu burst into tears. “Xiao Feng, you’re lying to me, right? What you said is foolproof.”
“I…”
“Shiyu, I still have other ways. Shiyu, listen to me, I can still…”
“Don’t say it, don’t say it, Ye Feng, don’t say it.”
“Shiyu…”
“I want to know how much of the 80,000 yuan is left.” Xia Shiyu forced herself to calm down.
“This… If I had sold it earlier, I could have recovered a few thousand yuan. But with the bug fixed, such a large amount of necklaces won’t be sold quickly.” Ye Feng smiled bitterly again.
With a look of misery, Xia Shiyu said, “Ye Feng, take your time to sell those necklaces. I… my dad is still in the hospital; I have to go take care of him.” After saying this, Xia Shiyu stumbled out of the internet cafe.
Ye Feng wanted to chase after her to explain something but was pushed away by Xia Shiyu. “Ye Feng, can you leave me alone?”
“I…” Seeing Xia Shiyu’s saddened face, Ye Feng wanted to say that he had other ways, but Xia Shiyu wouldn’t listen to a single word. He could only lower his head and let Xia Shiyu leave.
