100: Chapter 100 Win-Win

Lin Fan took out the black metal box from his robes and handed it to Tang Si.

His movements were gentle, even considerately wiping the dust off the box for Tang Si.

As if the person who had just beaten Tang Si until he coughed up blood wasn't him at all.

"That'll be one hundred million, please."

Lin Fan smilingly extended his hand, "We accept cards, transfers, and of course, payment in equivalent resources is also fine."

Looking at that punchable smiling face, Tang Si wished he could smash his fist into it.

But he restrained himself.

He pulled a purple-gold card from his spatial ring and slapped it hard into Lin Fan's hand.

"The PIN is six eights."

"There's exactly one hundred million on it, my allowance for this month."

The people around couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this.

A monthly allowance of one hundred million?

Is this the depth of a prominent family from the capital?

Comparing yourself to others is just infuriating.

"Swift!"

Lin Fan deftly swiped the card and transferred the funds. After hearing the notification chime, the smile on his face grew even brighter.

"Young Master Tang is truly generous! Young Master Tang is mighty!"

"Come on, open the box."

"Let everyone see what kind of luck Young Master Tang has."

Lin Fan made a gesture of "please."

Everyone's gaze focused on the box in Tang Si's hands.

They were all very curious: what could possibly be inside this blind box worth one hundred million?

A peerless divine weapon? Or a top-tier cultivation manual?

Or perhaps... a pile of scrap metal?

After all, Lin Fan's nature as a Shrewd Merchant was already laid bare.

Tang Si took a deep breath, calming his turbulent emotions.

Although he felt in his heart that this was most likely a scam, the money was already spent. He had to at least hear the sound of the box opening.

He extended a trembling hand and pressed the opening button on the box.

*Click.*

The box slowly opened.

There was no earth-shattering phenomenon, nor any blinding light.

Inside the box lay a single fruit, resting quietly.

The fruit was only the size of a fist, its entire body showing a translucent, pale purple hue.

Its skin bore naturally formed patterns, like miniature star charts.

A strange, delicate fragrance instantly filled the air.

Just smelling this scent, the people around felt their minds clear, their previously restless emotions calming instantly.

Even a few trainees stuck at bottlenecks felt the spiritual energy within their bodies begin to stir.

"This is..."

Tang Si's eyes widened.

Though he was a playboy, he was still a scion of a prominent family, with a sharp eye.

He immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this item.

"An S-grade spirit fruit... an enlightenment fruit?!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

"What? An enlightenment fruit?!"

"The legendary divine fruit that can forcibly put someone into a state of enlightenment, ignoring bottlenecks?"

"Holy shit! This thing would fetch at least three hundred million at an auction! The main thing is it's priceless and basically impossible to buy."

"Buying something worth three hundred million for one hundred million? That's a massive profit!"

The entire place erupted.

If the blind boxes Lin Fan sold before were just small-time stuff.

Then at this moment, the appearance of the enlightenment fruit completely ignited everyone's greed.

Tang Si's hand trembled.

Not from pain, but from excitement.

He had been stuck at the Half-step Grandmaster level for a long time.

It wasn't a lack of spiritual energy, but his comprehension of the wind and thunder laws was just one step short.

His biggest goal in coming to the Tianjiao Camp this time was to break through to Grandmaster.

Originally, he thought it would take at least half a year of arduous cultivation.

But now, with this enlightenment fruit...

He was absolutely confident he could break through to Grandmaster before long.

"This... is it really for me?"

Tang Si looked at Lin Fan somewhat incredulously.

He had just been fighting Lin Fan to the death moments ago.

And this guy actually sold him such a strategic-level resource?

Wasn't he afraid that once Tang Si broke through to Grandmaster, he'd turn around and suppress him?

Looking at Tang Si's unsophisticated expression, Lin Fan secretly laughed.

This enlightenment fruit was something he had obtained earlier from a phantom demon corpse on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

For him, with his system, as long as he had enough raw materials, he could produce as many of these as he wanted.

Moreover, his reason for giving Tang Si such a good item was also carefully considered.

Only by letting Tang Si taste real benefits could he thoroughly bind him to his own chariot.

[Ding, congratulations host for obtaining a fifty-fold return: Enlightenment Tree Tea Leaves *5]

[Friendly reminder: Enlightenment Tree Tea Leaves aid in comprehending the Great Dao. It is recommended the host use them after reaching the Peak Grandmaster level.]

As for Tang Si breaking through to Grandmaster? Heh.

By the time he broke through, Lin Fan would have long since earned enough resources and become stronger himself.

"Of course it's for you."

Lin Fan patted Tang Si's shoulder, saying with earnest sincerity.

"Young Master Tang, I told you earlier."

"I'm a businessman; I value integrity."

"Since you've paid, you're my customer."

"How could I possibly cheat my customer?"

Looking at Lin Fan's sincere eyes, most of the resentment in Tang Si's heart instantly dissipated.

It was replaced by a complex emotion.

This guy... though greedy for money, though his mouth was annoying, though his methods were ruthless...

When it came to business, he was truly damn principled!

"Good!"

Tang Si carefully put away the enlightenment fruit, then gave Lin Fan a heavy, respectful fist salute.

"Lin Fan... no, Brother Fan!"

This "Brother Fan" sounded a bit awkward, but it was still sincere.

"What happened today... I, Tang Si, admit defeat."

"I'll consider you a friend!"

"From now on in the Tianjiao Camp, anyone who dares to cause trouble for you is crossing me, Tang Si."

Tang Si thumped his chest in assurance.

The people around looked at each other.

The plot reversal was just too fast, wasn't it?

One moment they were fighting to the death, the next they were calling each other brothers?

Is this the charm of the power of money?

Lin Fan smilingly returned the salute. "Easy, easy. We're all brothers here, mutual benefit and all."

The two looked at each other and smiled, presenting a harmonious picture of brotherly affection.

However, the moment Tang Si lowered his head, a trace of imperceptible malice flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Hmph, Lin Fan."

"You do have some skill, and some resources."

"But you absolutely shouldn't have given me a treasure that can help me break through to Grandmaster."

"Once I use this fruit to break through to Grandmaster and grasp the true laws of wind and thunder..."

"At that time, we'll settle all our old and new grudges together."

"The secrets on you, your blind box channels... they'll all be mine sooner or later."

"Lin Fan, oh Lin Fan, you've already committed a capital offense."

Tang Si sneered inwardly.

How could he, the young master of the Tang Family, truly become some country bumpkin's lackey?

All of this was nothing more than biding his time.

And Lin Fan, looking at Tang Si's slightly twitching mouth and that fleeting flash of killing intent.

The smile on his face didn't change in the slightest.

Only in his heart, he also silently assigned Tang Si a label.

[High-Quality Long-Term Cash Cow]

"Want to use me to break through?"

"No problem."

"As long as you can afford to pay, I don't mind fattening you up a bit."

"Does someone I've surpassed still have a chance to catch up? I'm the one with cheats here; the advantage is mine in this round!"

"After all, only a fat pig yields meat when slaughtered."

Lin Fan hummed a little tune in his heart.

One fight, earned one hundred million, boosted his reputation, and incidentally gained a "subordinate" with ulterior motives.

This was a win-win. He won twice.

"Everyone!"

Lin Fan turned around and waved at the surrounding Tianjiao who were already green with envy.

"See that?"

"This is the capability of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion!"

"If even an S-grade enlightenment fruit can come out of it, what's impossible?"

"Tomorrow morning, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion officially opens for business!"

"Those who want to become stronger, who want to defy fate and change their destiny, remember to bring your wallets!"

"No waiting for latecomers!"

After saying this, Lin Fan ignored everyone's reactions. He directly grabbed Tang Si, who was still lost in thoughts of the future, and with arms around each other's shoulders, walked into the villa.

"Come on, come on, Brother Tang, let's go inside and discuss future cooperation..."

As the villa door closed.

The entire Tianjiao Camp completely erupted. Everyone went crazy.

One by one, they began frantically contacting their families, raising funds.

From this moment on, they had only one thought: "I want to open a blind box! Don't anyone try to stop me."
