22: Information Leakage

"You two are definitely on a date, aren't you?" Liu Shihhan said with a slight smile.

Listening to their conversation, it seemed they had been friends for a long time.

One was a top student, the other a campus belle; both were eye-catching presences in the school, so it was normal for them to know each other.

So Xiao Yun did not speak, only observing Liu Shihhan's expression.

"No, you misunderstood!" Lu Xueqing waved her hand, quickly trying to explain.

Pure-hearted as she was, her cheeks turned a little red as soon as she heard talk of romance.

But in Liu Shihhan's eyes, this only served as irrefutable proof of her guess.

"Oh? Alright."

"Mm-hmm!" Lu Xueqing nodded.

Yet, a slight smile remained on Liu Shihhan's face.

This clearly meant she didn't intend to believe it!

Xiao Yun immediately felt helpless; Lu Xueqing was too naive.

Just then, the Exchange also called his queue number.

"Alright, I'm going to sell some things first. You two chat."

Xiao Yun waved his hand and went directly to the selling counter at the Exchange window.

...

"Respected GTI Official, what would you like to sell?" The female attendant at the counter politely asked.

"I'll sell these first." Saying this, Xiao Yun held up the big red bag, packed full.

Inside was a set of five helmets and five armors, along with four fully modified guns.

As soon as the items were presented, the counter attendant's eyes widened in surprise.

"Sir, these... you want to sell all of these?"

"Yes." Xiao Yun paused, then added, "Oh, and the backpack is also for sale."

"Please wait a moment! I'll go to the back to verify the item information!" Saying this, the counter attendant turned to fiddle with the computer, producing a clacking sound.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun felt a bit helpless.

Technology was so advanced, yet selling and buying items still required manual price checks?

Was there no dedicated scanning equipment or anything?

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir. I'll scan the item values for you now." The counter attendant finished her operation and pulled out something resembling a supermarket barcode scanner.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun immediately became wary.

Didn't she clearly have equipment to scan values?

What exactly was she checking just now?

"Were you checking my information?" Xiao Yun asked coldly.

"Ah!? No, no." The counter attendant's tone was clearly flustered.

"We are GTI Official staff; we would not leak agents' information."

Although she tried to appear calm, her speaking speed noticeably quickened, making her seem very suspicious.

Xiao Yun immediately thought of what Wang Qiang had just reminded him.

This Li Wenzhe really intended to investigate him.

However, considering his actions in the restricted area, it seemed not doing so would actually be out of character for him.

Thinking this, Xiao Yun smiled faintly.

"It's fine, you continue your work." The counter attendant nervously swallowed, not daring to speak further, and lowered her head to scan the item values.

However.

As she scanned, the counter attendant's expression grew increasingly surprised.

Because the value of these items was simply too high!

Could these really have been brought out from a single match?

"Sir, the total value you extracted this time, in total, actually reached 2.7 million!"

"What!? 2.7 million!" Hearing this number, the staff at the neighboring counter were immediately stunned.

"2.7 million, even if you sold me, I wouldn't be worth that much!"

"Holy cow, a big order!"

"Such a high value, this is even more impressive than when official teams come to clear out inventory!"

With an exclamation.

Soon, everyone around heard about this, and they all cast surprised glances at him.

When they saw that Xiao Yun was just a student, the people around were even more astonished.

"He actually looted 2.7 million worth of items?"

"So young, truly a hero in his youth!"

"Young man, are you still single? Auntie can introduce you to someone!"

...

As the news broke, many people in the hall had already started to gravitate towards him.

However, Xiao Yun's brows immediately furrowed.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't reveal personal information?" "Sorry, sir!" He glared at the counter attendant, questioning her sternly.

But all he got in return was a flimsy apology.

Xiao Yun strongly suspected that this counter attendant was doing it on purpose.

Although he didn't know her motive, it was definitely Li Wenzhe's family pulling strings behind the scenes.

Although Eight Warehouse was very large, news spread quickly.

As soon as the news of him selling 2.7 million worth of items got out, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Xiao Yun disliked this feeling of being watched by a crowd.

Being watched like this in reality was fine.

But if it were in the restricted area, if he caused such a big commotion, to the other people in the match, he would be no different from a targeted prey.

"Master, what happened?" Hearing the commotion from Xiao Yun's side, Lu Xueqing also rushed over.

At the same time, Liu Shihhan followed.

"Nothing, just a little commotion when selling things."

"What do you mean? How much money did you sell in items for?" Liu Shihhan frowned slightly, asking with some confusion.

But Xiao Yun's answer that followed immediately left her greatly shocked!

"Not much, 2.7 million."

"What!? 2.7 million!" Liu Shihhan's eyes widened instantly, her delicate eyebrows almost flying up.

"I heard Lu Xueqing say that you two came at the same time and only entered the restricted area twice?"

"You extracted twice, and the items you brought out reached 2.7 million!?"

"This is simply too exaggerated! It's my first time hearing that someone can bring out so many items!"

"Shh—! Alright, alright, stop talking!" Xiao Yun quickly covered Liu Shihhan's mouth.

He clearly felt that he had been targeted by a group of merchants around him.

If Liu Shihhan kept talking like this, he didn't know how much time these people would waste!

Time was precious; he was eager to get into the next match!

After all, unlocking an SS-rank skill required 5 million.

"Let's leave here first." Seeing that the bank card had already received the funds, Xiao Yun led the two women away from Eight Warehouse.

...

"Xiao Yun? It's him?" Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Wenzhe returned to his luxurious villa at home and soon received a call from his father.

To find out who was ambushing him at the extraction point, his parents personally took action, meeting with several high-ranking officials from the GTI Haibei City branch.

He just didn't expect to receive news so quickly.

"I remember, he's from the adjacent Class Three."

"He doesn't talk much usually and seems unremarkable."

"Why... why would this trash dare to ruin my good deeds!?" Li Wenzhe gripped his phone, unconsciously applying force, almost crushing the screen.

"You just wait for me!"

...

"Alert: Bank card number 114514..., transferred 2,702,947.00 yuan, balance 2,702,981.80 yuan."

"Holy crap!" At the entrance of Chenghua Community.

Xiao Qingtian in the convenience store received the text message alert and was immediately startled awake.

He carefully counted the balance, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions...

Two point seven million received!

"Could it be that I won the lottery...?"

"Damn it! Why is it Xiao Yun's bank card!"

"What is this kid... doing!?" Looking at the balance on the text message, Xiao Qingtian immediately took a sharp breath.
