章節 26: A Million or Younger Brother, Which Do You Choose?
編輯: Henyee Translations
Lin Chen set off the next day.
The "Contemporary Youth" segment would be recorded on Wednesday and would be broadcast over the weekend.
That was today.
However, Lin Chen did not need to drive the carriage.
Because he was in Dragon Sea City.
When they were leaving, Bai Shuyi offered to drive Lin Chen there.
Lin Chen agreed.
In fact, Lin Chen realized that Bai Shuyi was also an otaku who did not like to go out.
In the past few days since she came to Dragon Sea City, she rarely left her room, let alone go out. Previously, she said that she wanted to go to school to familiarize herself with it, but after Lin Chen refused to be her tour guide, Bai Shuyi decided not to even go to school.
Instead, like Liu Mengyao and Snow Foam, she had always been in the game.
Lin Chen understood them very well.
There would always be a group of people who would rather live in the game world and hate reality.
Before leaving, Lin Chen received a call from Zhang Chunlin.
He could tell that this fellow was especially happy today.
After all, the goddess he had a crush on had asked him out.
Although Zhang Chunlin knew that Jiang Youyou only asked because her sister wanted to interview Zhang Chunlin, Zhang Chunlin was willing to endure it.
It was not that Zhang Chunlin was innocent.
Instead, he knew very well that if he wanted to woo girls these days, he had to be thick-skinned.
Moreover, he had to make use of all his advantages.
Only then would the probability be higher.
Naturally, Lin Chen and Zhang Chunlin did not talk about these things. Zhang Chunlin called to report to Lin Chen how many things he had received yesterday. He also told Lin Chen that there were still people selling Supreme Treasure Boxes in the market.
"I'll take all of them!"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
This was good stuff!
Currently, the only pet equipment that could be obtained in New World was from the Supreme Treasure Box.
Moreover, pet equipment was consumable.
Therefore, the more, the better!
"Boss, this thing is not cheap. Many studios or former gold miners planned to earn another sum in this game, so their prices are firm. One Supreme Treasure Box costs 1,000 still!"
Zhang Chunlin said on the other end of the line, "If you say you want all of them, those crazy studios can probably give you hundreds of them a day!"
"Yes!"
Lin Chen said, "Go haggle. I'll take as many as they have, but only 600 each. Otherwise, let them rot in their own hands! Everyone knows that the game is about to be shut down. They can earn this last sum, but don't let them take it for granted!"
Lin Chen hung up.
He believed that these studios would definitely agree.
They had a lot of accounts in their hands.
Although these accounts might not be top-notch and their equipment was very poor, they were all gold farming accounts. Many of them viewed the game as a job more than a game. However, after the game descended into reality, these gold farming workers in these studios suddenly became the "elite group" in society and became the top of society. They directly turned over a new leaf!
This was not a small amount of combat power.
If Lin Chen made a deal with them now, it would be easier to cooperate with them in in the future.
"The abilities of those studios can probably make you spend more than 100,000 per day. You even asked Zhang Chunlin to collect other items everywhere. Now, your daily expenditure is more than a million per day, right?"
Bai Shuyi looked at Lin Chen strangely and said, "I'm really suspicious. You're so engrossed. Are you sure about something?"
"Haha, just take it that I have an inside secret!"
Lin Chen laughed and covered it up with one sentence.
Bai Shuyi did not ask further.
She knew that it was not good to ask too many questions.
It would be impolite to ask again.
If Lin Chen was willing to say it, he would have said it long ago.
Moreover, Lin Chen had explained it to her before… However, that was how women were.
They trusted men the most, and also distrusted men the most.
Just as the car was about to leave the neighborhood, Lin Chen frowned.
Because he saw someone…
It was obvious that they were here to stop him.
"Stop the car. I'll go down." Lin Chen did not say much.
However, with Brother Tiger's punk outfit, dense tattoos, and unfriendly expression, anyone could tell that he was up to no good.
"I'll go down with you. I've been trained in martial arts!"
Bai Shuyi was worried. She even took out a taser and handed it to Lin Chen. Then, she said, "If you fight, just tase… Do you know how to use it?"
"Yes, but there's no need. Trust me. Wait in the car obediently."
Lin Chen returned the stun baton to her.
In fact, he even told her to be obedient.
Then he opened the car door.
It had to be said that Lin Chen's actions just now were really manly.
In the face of danger, not only was he fearless in the face of danger, but he was also abnormally calm. He was even very manly and did not retreat at all.
Moreover, he knew how to protect women and didn't let Bai Shuyi get involved.
"No wonder Yaoyao is so infatuated with him. There's a reason!"
Bai Shuyi looked at Lin Chen's back and muttered softly.
After that, she watched the show.
"Brother Tiger, are you here to look for me?"
Lin Chen was very tactful and spoke first.
However, it was not Brother Tiger who answered Lin Chen.
Ye Tenglong pointed at Lin Chen arrogantly and said, "It's good that you know! Lin Chen, you know what my brother is here for, right? That's right, you owe my brother money. You have to pay it back now!"
"Didn't you say three months?" Lin Chen frowned. "It's only been three to four days, right?"
However, Ye Tenglong was very arrogant. "Who said it's been three months? Do you still have evidence like an IOU? I'm saying that it's time to return it! Let me tell you, I'm giving you face now because we're classmates. If you don't return the money today, don't even think about leaving the house."
Lin Chen finally understood.
The other party was deliberately looking for trouble.
However, the person who wanted to cause trouble wasn't Ye Tenghu, who was known as Brother Tiger.
It was Ye Tenglong!
Previously, this guy had often insulted Lin Chen in front of his classmates and even mocked him for being a fool. But now, Lin Chen had suddenly become popular online. Even though he was ridiculed, negative publicity was still popular these days!
With attention, there would be popularity!
With popularity, there would be traffic!
With traffic, you could cash out!
This was the truth of the information age.
Therefore, Ye Tenglong felt that he had been slapped in the face. Although Lin Chen did not say or do anything, his face had been slapped repeatedly. Coupled with his jealousy of Lin Chen's current popularity, Ye Tenglong deliberately came to find trouble.
Lin Chen knew Ye Tenglong's character very well. This guy was a bad coward.
It could be said that he was a scumbag to the end.
Therefore, Lin Chen could guess the reason after analyzing it in his mind. He continued to ignore Ye Tenglong and couldn't be bothered with him. He looked at Ye Tenghu behind him and said, "Brother Tiger, we agreed on three months, but I don't need it now. I'll return the money to you in a month at most…"
Before he could finish, Ye Tenglong interrupted anxiously, "I asked you to return it today. Are you deaf?"
"What you say doesn't count."
Lin Chen ignored him completely. Seeing that Ye Tenghu did not speak, he continued, "When the time comes, I'll return an additional million! Will you listen to your brother and find trouble with me so that I can't return the money, or will you earn an additional million? Brother Hu, you can choose."
This was where Lin Chen's confidence came from.
Now, Ye Tenghu definitely knew that Lin Chen had become popular online.
If he wanted to earn money, he could.
After all, Lin Chen was about to appear on the show.
At the very least, the appearance fee for the program was quite high!
However, after Lin Chen became famous, the situation was different.
Lin Chen was considered a celebrity now. He was an internet celebrity. As the saying went, there was no evidence with empty words. If Lin Chen did not admit to this loan and guided public opinion, it was very likely that Ye Tenghu would lose everything!
Therefore, Ye Tenglong didn't hesitate for long before he said, "Sure! But this time, you have to write a clear contract saying that there's no interest being charged. You borrowed three million from me. You have to return it all to me in a month!"
Actually, this should be Ye Tenghu's true motive for coming to find Lin Chen today.
In the past, he was very arrogant and didn't ask for an IOU.
But now, he was worried and needed this IOU.
"Okay, no problem. Three million. I'll write it now!"
Lin Chen returned to the car and asked Bai Shuyi, "Do you have a pen?"
"Are you really going to write it?" Bai Shuyi was speechless. "He's just a local tyrant. Why are you so afraid of him? Also, you borrowed 1.6 million yet you have to return 3 million? He's robbing a bank!"
"It's fine. I'll write it. I'll think of a way when the time comes."
Lin Chen was quite grateful that Bai Shuyi cared about him, but he still did not reveal too much. After fooling her, he wrote the IOU.
However, when Lin Chen walked past Ye Tenglong, he stopped in his tracks.
Then, he looked at Ye Tenglong with disdain until Ye Tenglong moved aside.
Lin Chen walked over from where he was standing and said with a smile, "It's right to know to make way… Brother Hu, this is a three million yuan. Now, I can be considered your God of Wealth, right? Then can I trouble Brother Hu to… No, from now on, keep your dogs away from me?"
It was obvious that Lin Chen was scolding Ye Tenglong indirectly. He was scolding Ye Tenglong for being a dog blocking the way.
"Lin Chen!" Ye Tenglong was so angry that he was about to attack.
"What are you doing? Get lost!"
Ye Tenghu finally couldn't take it anymore. He went forward and slapped Ye Tenglong's face. He scolded, "Do you know what you're doing? How many times have I told you not to go against money! Now, call him Brother Chen and apologize!"
"Lin… Chen, Brother Chen, I'm sorry!"
Ye Tenglong apologized.
He even bowed to Lin Chen.
It couldn't be helped!
Who asked Lin Chen to be equivalent to Ye Tenghu's three million?
It seemed that Ye Tenglong the younger brother was worthless in front of three million.
This was human nature!
Lin Chen did not feel too emotional, nor did he say anything more to Ye Tenglong. Without any pleasantries, he got into Bai Shuyi's car and left.
