28: Chapter 28: Treasure Hunting in the Antique Street!

"Mr. Shen, please don't get agitated. Your sister's condition is just a normal physical reaction."

Shen Yan frowned. Why hadn't he ever seen Xiaoya have a similar physical reaction before?

He told the doctor his doubts.

The doctor patted his shoulder and said, "Mr. Shen, I know you really want your sister to wake up, but based on the current situation, the reason her fingers are moving is indeed due to a reflex action."

Having said that, he closed his mouth, his expression suggesting he wanted to say more but hesitated.

Shen Yan knew he definitely had something to say.

"Whatever you have to say, just say it."

The doctor sighed and pulled him into the office.

"Take a look at this..."

Shen Yan took the documents handed over by the doctor and carefully flipped through them a few times.

"This is data from a foreign institution?"

The doctor nodded and said, "This institution recently released a new drug, and that drug is specifically for treating your sister's condition."

A look of joy appeared on Shen Yan's face.

"Then how can I buy this medicine?"

The doctor raised his hand and pointed a finger at a number on the document.

"You can definitely buy it, but the price is very expensive."

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and counted.

Unit, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million!

One course of treatment costs five million!

It really lives up to being from abroad, he thought.

The price was truly brutal.

"Actually, this course of treatment is just an experimental product, and it might not necessarily be effective."

"My suggestion is that instead of spending a high price to purchase this treatment, you might as well be a little more patient and wait for your sister to wake up on her own."

The reason the doctor said this was because he knew Shen Yan simply didn't have that much money to purchase the foreign treatment.

He didn't want to add too much pressure on the financially strained Shen Yan.

Shen Yan shook his head and said firmly, "No. As long as there is a chance to wake my sister up quickly, I will never give up."

He now had the tycoon system, so he wasn't afraid of not being able to earn that five million.

As long as he could cure his sister, he was willing to do anything.

After the meeting with the doctor ended, he left his sister at the convalescent center.

Grandma Liu was already old.

It was because he was truly helpless before that he asked Grandma Liu to come help take care of his sister.

Now that his situation wasn't so desperate, he naturally didn't want Grandma Liu to be too overworked.

Moreover, his sister would definitely be better taken care of at the convalescent center.

After leaving the hospital, he belatedly realized he hadn't heard the electronic sound notification for the tycoon system completing a mission.

He clicked open the panel and found that the system panel had changed from his personal identification information to a few words—"[This system is currently upgrading...]".

Could it be because he completed that special mission?

Shen Yan was puzzled.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to what the system would look like after the upgrade.

The next day.

When Shen Yan woke up again, the tycoon system had finished upgrading.

"Ding, the tycoon system upgrade is complete! The new panel is as follows:"

"[Host: Shen Yan

Assets: 20000

Wealth Level: D

Daily Intelligence Obtainable: Two pieces of ordinary intelligence!]"

"[Ding! Detected unread advanced wealth intelligence, do you want to open it now?]"

"[Ding! Daily ordinary wealth intelligence dropped, do you want to open it now?]"

"Open!"

After opening, the tycoon system displayed two pieces of intelligence.

"[advanced wealth intelligence: An internet competition will be held in Sea City on the fifteenth of next month.]"

"[ordinary wealth intelligence: Find a person named He Dao at Wudaokou on Tianshan Street; his stall has an authentic celadon vase worth a million.]"

A celadon vase worth a million?!

Shen Yan's eyes lit up, and he pushed the advanced wealth intelligence to the back of his mind first.

He remembered that Wudaokou on Tianshan Street was an antique street.

Many people who wanted to hunt for antiques would go there.

He had never been there before.

Because he felt that everything there was fake and wouldn't hold its value.

He didn't expect there would actually be a genuine item there!

He jumped out of bed, quickly washed up, and went out.

It was urgent; he had to get there as soon as possible to buy the celadon vase.

If he was late and someone else bought the celadon vase, he would regret it to death.

After hailing a cab to the location, he noticed that not many people were setting up stalls at Wudaokou.

"Strange, there are no stalls..."

He walked down the road, muttering to himself.

A passerby happened to overhear him and turned to say, "It's still morning, not many people set up stalls at this time."

"If you really want to buy things, come back at eight in the evening; many people will come out to set up stalls then."

So, it had to be eight in the evening...

Shen Yan nodded and thanked the other person, "Thank you, little brother."

The passerby laughed heartily and replied, "You're welcome, just call me Xiao He."

Shen Yan's eyebrows jumped. Xiao He?

"What is your name?"

The other person blinked and pointed to the work badge around his neck.

"My name is He Dao. I also set up a stall here. This is my work badge. When you come tonight, you can stop by my stall."

The target person was right in front of him, so Shen Yan certainly wouldn't let the opportunity pass.

"Since you're already here, why aren't you setting up your stall?"

"It's too early, no one comes to buy things from my stall," He Dao said with a smile.

Shen Yan also smiled and said, "I'll buy! What, you don't want a customer who comes right to your door?"

He Dao looked full of suspicion. He felt like Shen Yan was messing with him.

"Seriously?"

"In a moment, you won't end up buying anything after looking around for a long time, will you?"

Shen Yan didn't confidently tell him that he would definitely buy it.

If he said that, it would instead allow the other party to take the opportunity to raise the price.

"That depends on whether the things in your stall are good or not. If they are good, I will definitely buy them. If they aren't... even if you talk until your throat is raw, I definitely won't buy anything."

He Dao hesitated for a while before saying to him, "Alright, alright. Since we met here, it must be fate. Let's go, I'll show you the things I plan to sell tonight."

With that, he led Shen Yan to a spot under the shade of a tree.

"Here, don't mind that these things are piled up messily; they are actually all good items!"

Shen Yan saw that celadon vase at a glance.

"Thump, thump!"

His heart hammered rapidly in his chest, and he swallowed hard.

With this celadon vase, he would have one-fifth of the funds needed for his sister's treatment!

He pretended to be curious and pointed at the celadon vase, asking He Dao, "How much is this?"

He Dao didn't hesitate and held up five fingers.

"Fifty thousand!"

Shen Yan curled his lips and quoted his expected price.

"Five hundred."

He Dao's eyes widened, and he pointed at Shen Yan in disbelief.

"Five hundred?! Why don't you just rob me!"

Shen Yan wasn't a fool.

Although fifty thousand was insignificant compared to one million, He Dao didn't know the original value of this celadon vase.

If he guessed correctly, He Dao saw that Shen Yan didn't understand anything and was deliberately raising the price to swindle him.

"Stop messing around. Although this celadon vase looks nice, it's clearly a knockoff."

"To be honest, even five hundred is too much for me."
