In her eyes, three hundred thousand was already an astronomical figure. Yet Ye Feng had apparently earned more than that.
Ye Feng nodded confidently. "Of course. This is my first pot of gold. How could three hundred thousand possibly be enough?"
"Alright, then how much do you need? I'll see if I can pay a little less and hold back the rest."
"Hmm~! Eighty thousand. Didn't you have two hundred and eighty thousand? Pay two hundred thousand first and keep the remaining eighty thousand."
"That much?"
"Hehe, what did you expect? If you want to make money, you have to invest capital." Ye Feng smiled.
"Alright, but from now on, you have to tell me about the progress of those eighty thousand. I need to know what you're using the money for."
"No problem. But we need to make this clear too. You can't question how I do things. You can only listen, and you can't tell Su Lin or Lin Xiaowan."
"Ah, I can't even tell Xiao Wan?"
Ye Feng nodded solemnly. "You can't. If you say it out loud, it won't work anymore. Who knows whether they'll compete with us for business?"
Ye Feng's plan was simple: let Xia Shiyu watch how he operated. That way, he would be at ease, and Xia Shiyu would be at ease too. Another benefit was that he could keep an eye on Xia Shiyu every day, then use this time together to win her over in one stroke.
By the time Su Lin realized what was happening, Xia Shiyu would already be his girlfriend.
"Xiao Wan and Su Lin aren't that kind of people."
"I believe Lin Xiaowan isn't that kind of person, but Su Lin... hehe."
"Xiao Feng, do you and Su Lin have some sort of misunderstanding?"
"A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could I have with him? It's just that you should know perfectly well what kind of person he is in class."
Xia Shiyu fell silent.
Although Su Lin was outstanding in every respect, his reputation in class was not very good.
She had not expected it to affect Ye Feng's opinion of him.
Xia Shiyu really wanted to say that Su Lin had donated money to her, and a great deal of it at that, but remembering her agreement with Su Lin, she could only keep quiet.
"Ah... then we won't tell them. But we agreed that you have to keep me updated."
"Alright~!!"
Ye Feng knew that Xia Shiyu had an extremely sharp business sense. He was only benefiting from being reborn, while she was different—she truly had talent. Taking her along now would allow her to awaken that talent early, and then his summer plans could proceed smoothly.
He would need Xia Shiyu's help then.
Game Update, the Necklace of Fate's Explosive Stats
After discussing it with Ye Feng, Xia Shiyu took her bank card to make the payment.
Seeing someone paying for Xia Junming, the nurse subconsciously gave Xia Shiyu an extra look.
"Nurse, can my dad undergo dialysis now?"
The nurse nodded. "As long as you've paid, of course he can. But I have to remind you that your father is already late for dialysis. The kidney transplant must be arranged quickly, or once the optimal window passes, it'll be too late even if you want one."
"Ah~!! Then how long can we delay at most?"
"I can't say for sure, since I'm not a doctor. But probably only around a month. Beyond that, it definitely won't work."
"Oh~!!"
Ye Feng said confidently from the side, "Xiao Yu, don't worry. In a month, I'll definitely help you gather all the money."
Xia Shiyu nodded, though there was not much belief in her eyes.
She was like a drowning child now. No matter what floated past her, she wanted to grab onto it.
Seeing this, Ye Feng did not continue. He felt that saying more was less useful than doing something. Once the facts were right in front of her, there would be no question of whether she believed him.
"Xiao Yu, have you finished paying?"
Xia Shiyu turned around and saw Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan.
Su Lin held two fruit baskets, while Lin Xiaowan held a bouquet of flowers.
The handsome man and beautiful woman made Xia Shiyu feel a little envious.
"Xiao Wan, I told you there was no need to buy fruit. Why did you buy so much?"
"You'll have to ask Su Lin. We agreed I'd pick them, but this guy kept adding one thing after another, and in the end, we bought two baskets."
"Hehe, thank you, Su Lin."
Su Lin waved his hand. "These fruits are suitable for people with uremia. Xiao Yu, give Uncle Xia some later. It would be best to make them into liquid food."
"Mhm, mhm~!!"
"Alright, let's not stand around here. Let's go see Uncle Xia first."
"Alright~!!"
Seeing that Xia Shiyu had truly not told Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan about borrowing money to make money, Ye Feng felt delighted.
No matter how close you are, can you be closer than childhood sweethearts?
Ye Feng felt that, as someone who had been reborn and held a winning hand, earning three hundred thousand would be far too easy.
The four of them headed straight for the inpatient building.
Su Lin found Ye Feng's smugly confident appearance rather amusing.
In less than three days, this guy would be crying.
After school that evening, Su Lin found Chen Yang again and told him to raise the purchase price for the Necklace of Fate to six hundred. As long as someone was selling, he was to buy it.
By then, Chen Yang had completely stopped caring about Su Lin's intentions. He simply did whatever Su Lin told him to do.
That very night, however, he unexpectedly discovered other buyers in the game, and their prices were even higher than his. He was buying them for six hundred each, while Ye Feng was buying them for seven hundred each.
One Maple Love Letter: Buying Necklace of Fate across the entire server, seven hundred each. Any amount welcome. Platform transactions, guaranteed credibility.

Su Lin was also logged into the game at home. Unlike Chen Yang, who needed to go to an internet café to play, Su Lin only needed to stay home.
"One Maple Love Letter. Ye Feng really picked a ridiculously cheesy name, tsk tsk..."
Zi Yang Merchant whispered: "Brother Lin, someone's competing with us. He's buying them for seven hundred each. Should we raise our price too?"
Shuang Mu Lin whispered: "No, Yangzi. Let him buy them. We'll stay steady at six hundred. Let him keep buying at seven hundred."
Zi Yang Merchant whispered: "Brother Lin, you mean we stop buying, then hold our price against his?"
Shuang Mu Lin whispered: "That's right. We've already bought enough. We should let others have a taste of the soup too."
Zi Yang Merchant whispered: "Got it, Brother Lin."
Chen Yang could not understand Su Lin's thinking, but he still chose to follow Su Lin's plan.
Ye Feng's heart was bleeding at that moment.
If he had not known that the Necklace of Fate would rise to five or six thousand in his previous life, he would not have had the nerve to buy them for seven hundred each.
"Idiot Zi Yang Merchant. Wouldn't buying them at five hundred each have been fine? You just had to raise the price against me. Now look at you—no one's making money."
Because Chen Yang had continually raised the purchase price of the Necklace of Fate, the black-market traders in the game had keenly smelled an opportunity.
Although they did not know why the Necklace of Fate was increasing in price, that did not stop them from stocking up.
So by the time Ye Feng logged into the game, people had already begun buying them. He did not care, because he only knew that this piece of equipment would increase severalfold in value. No one had told him what its initial price was.
He could tell that most of these merchants were stockpiling traders.
A new map and World Boss were about to open, so equipment prices were bound to rise.
Especially right after the new map and World Boss opened, equipment prices would shoot up rapidly.
Three days passed in a flash, and it was soon time for the Angel City version update.
Ye Feng did not pay much attention to the game update. Instead, he spent more of his time studying.
After being reborn, he discovered that his memory had improved significantly. He only needed to read the knowledge in textbooks three or four times to remember it firmly.
This gave him a glimmer of hope.
He felt that if he worked hard in this life, he might be able to get into a good university.
If he dared to dream, maybe he could even attend university with Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan.
So he did not devote his time and energy to the game.
The version update was complete.
At eight o'clock that evening, the first World Boss spawned.
Su Lin controlled his character and entered the field.
His character had only just become capable of fighting World Bosses, and its equipment was very average. The only special thing was the Necklace of Fate in its necklace slot.
