After escorting Xia Shiyu back to her seat, Lin Xiaowan came out again and found Su Lin.

"Xiao Wan, why did you come out again?" Su Lin looked at her with some surprise.

Lin Xiaowan's expression was serious, and she said, "Su Lin, I think Xiao Yu's change is related to Ye Feng."

"Uh..."

Su Lin glanced at Lin Xiaowan in surprise. This girl was really smart. She figured it out so quickly.

He was now somewhat relieved that he had thought of a perfect plan when he set the trap earlier. Otherwise, with Lin Xiaowan's intelligence, she would definitely have discovered something.

"Why do you think so?" Su Lin also became serious and asked.

"Xiao Yu's change started after we went to the hospital that day. But on the way there, Xiao Yu was still fine, chatting and laughing with us. Although she was worried about her dad, it wasn't to the point of being absent-minded."

"On the way back, Xiao Yu's mindset changed significantly. Do you remember that Xiao Yu didn't say a word on the way back?"

Su Lin nodded. At that time, Xia Shiyu had already given the money to Ye Feng and must have started to worry, which was why she was like that.

"Indeed, Xiao Yu didn't say a word when she came back. But none of us said much at that time. We went to see Uncle Xia, and with his condition, who would be in the mood to laugh?" Su Lin explained.

Lin Xiaowan nodded: "But these past few days, Ye Feng has been going to see Xiao Yu from time to time to say things. Every time Ye Feng leaves, Xiao Yu's face is very pale and confused."

"Xiao Wan, you care about Xiao Yu too much."

Lin Xiaowan said seriously: "From childhood to adulthood, although I seem to have many friends, there are very few people who can become true friends with me. Xiao Yu is someone I truly care about, so I will naturally pay more attention."

Su Lin nodded in understanding.

"But if Xiao Yu doesn't want to say, what can you do?"

"I can go and ask Ye Feng for clarification."

Su Lin sneered: "Clarification, how will you ask? If Ye Feng was willing to say, then Xiao Yu definitely wouldn't hide it."

"Then what should I do? I can't just stand by and do nothing," Lin Xiaowan said somewhat dejectedly.

Su Lin smiled: "It hasn't reached that point yet. Believe me, if Xiao Yu is currently facing a lot of pressure and suppressing herself, then what she needs is just a release at a certain point in time. Don't add to the trouble. I estimate that in the next few days, she will break down and tell us."

"Alright then, I'll wait a few more days."

Seeing this, Su Lin nodded.

The existence of protagonists cannot be explained; it is unreasonable.

Su Lin felt that it would be better for Lin Xiaowan and Ye Feng to have less contact before Ye Feng's credibility collapsed.

Although Lin Xiaowan would not fall in love with Ye Feng, Su Lin always tried to do his best.

When he returned home, Su Lin had already sold the necklaces he had.

At a price of 3,500, after deducting fees, over 6 million yuan was deposited.

"Tsk tsk... This thing is more explosive than robbing money."

That night, three World BOSSes spawned, and they were all wiped out in less than two hours.

The Necklace of Fate became popular again, and Su Lin, with a burst of energy, listed the remaining two thousand pieces.

He wasn't sure when the official channels would discover this bug, so he couldn't wait for the necklaces to rise to five or six thousand before selling them.

Selling early and securing the profit was the best strategy.

Su Lin felt that with the Necklace of Fate being hyped up by him so much, the official channels might already be developing a patch.

He had to admit that there were really many rich people in this world.

Su Lin's two thousand necklaces were sold out in less than two hours.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock that the shipping was completed.

After the platform had no more necklaces, the Necklace of Fate entered a phase of violent growth.

At twelve o'clock, Su Lin had already seen people listing them for four thousand each, and they were listing hundreds of pieces at once.

Su Lin smiled: "No matter which world it is, there are really many black market dealers. It's a pity that these guys are all second-tier merchants, only able to get a share of the profits. But if you want a share, you have to act fast, otherwise you'll choke yourself to death."

After speaking, Su Lin had a smile that was difficult to decipher on his face.

The necklaces he listed were bought by people in hundreds of pieces. It was clear they weren't legitimate players.

But Su Lin didn't care about that. He didn't mind how the black market dealers bought them.

Anyway, the money was in his hands.

As for whether the black market dealers would be stuck with them, that wasn't his concern. It was normal for equipment merchants to have both losses and gains.

Moreover, these merchants weren't fools. They knew the principle of selling early and securing profits.

At the same time, in the Happiness Community in the old urban area of Zhongjiang, Ye Feng was also paying attention to the price of the Necklace of Fate.

His family didn't have money to buy a computer, so he could only check the forum posts on his phone to determine the price.

"It's 3,500 now, a fivefold profit. No rush, I'll wait a bit longer, I'll sell it at 5,000, I'll sell it at 5,000."

Due to Su Lin's malicious price gouging, Ye Feng had to raise his target price, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for Xia Junming's kidney transplant expenses.

He had no idea a massive trap was waiting for him.

At this moment, Su Lin was writing an email.

[Angel City Epic BUG: Necklace of Fate, Splash Effect Stacks Infinitely!!!]

"I'm truly sorry, Ye Feng, and to all the black market merchants in Angel City. While this might seem like I'm eating my fill and then flipping the table, there's nothing I can do. Who told you I'm the villain? Who told you Ye Feng and I are destined to be incompatible? Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Su Lin didn't know if the developers had discovered the bug in the Necklace of Fate yet. If they had, that would be great, but if not, they would need his help.

He was here to help them discover it.

Once such a major oversight was found, they would definitely patch it immediately.

To prevent Ye Feng from playing it safe and cashing out, he had to make sure the developers found out about this bug sooner rather than later.

After all, Ye Feng was the protagonist. Protagonists didn't play by the rules. Who knew if he might suddenly decide to cash out and sell all the necklaces he had on a whim?

By the time he finished the email, it was already late at night. Su Lin created a new account and sent it to the official email address anonymously.

"All done~!"

Snapping his fingers, Su Lin shut down his computer.

"Xiao Yu, don't blame your brother for being heartless."

"Don't worry, I'll cover all of Uncle Xia's medical expenses."

Su Lin was also very fond of Xia Shiyu.

After all, fictional characters in novels and people who appeared before you were two completely different experiences.

The protagonist was about to show off, and Su Lin was going to make a bet too.

In the morning, Ye Feng was practically floating as he walked.

It was Saturday, and he had originally planned to sell the necklace after the monthly exams. But now, it seemed like the necklace might reach five thousand by the time school ended tonight.

He never expected the Necklace of Fate to increase in value so quickly.

In his previous life, he heard Xu Jie mention it, and there was a half-month buffer period.

After being reborn, he realized how terrifying this game was.

The necklace's price increased every hour. The forum was still offering three thousand five hundred last night, and by morning, it was already four thousand.

Besides sighing at how rich people were nowadays, all he could do was hope for the price to keep rising.

Upon arriving at school, Xu Jie found Ye Feng immediately.

"Brother Feng, have you been playing Angel City?"

Ye Feng nodded, "Yeah, but I haven't played much these past few days."

Xu Jie said, his voice dry, "Brother Feng, you really took a huge loss by not playing these past few days. I'm telling you, a classmate from Class Seven dropped a Necklace of Fate yesterday and sold it right there at the internet cafe. Guess how much he sold it for?"

"How much?"

"Two thousand five hundred. Damn!"

"Two thousand five hundred, that's so high." Ye Feng feigned surprise.

Hearing this, Xu Jie said, "High? It's not high at all. Right after that person sold it, others started bidding, and the price immediately went up to three thousand."

"Later, I asked around in my guild and found out there was a bug with the Necklace of Fate. Major guilds are buying them now to fight world bosses."

"Yesterday evening, a guild called War Under Heaven defeated two world bosses and dropped a token of contention. I heard it was auctioned for three hundred thousand, but too bad War Under Heaven didn't sell it."

Ye Feng listened with great interest. He chuckled, "This necklace is that valuable?"

"It's more than valuable, this necklace keeps increasing in price. I bet, if the bug isn't fixed, the necklace will reach ten thousand without any problem."

Ye Feng shook his head, "Ten thousand is unlikely. While the necklace is valuable, in a few days, the entrance to the dungeon will be crowded, and the supply of the Necklace of Fate will increase."
