66: Chapter 66 Comments 666 Get Invitation Code?
Chen Fan was thinking exactly this.
Suddenly, a strange cry erupted from the corridor outside the private room.
"Holy sh*t—!!"
The voice was cracking from excessive excitement.
"lifespan treasure?!"
"What the f*ck?!"
"I have a lifespan treasure on my phone too!!"
This shout rang out.
It was like splashing a ladle of cold water into a wok of hot oil.
The customers in the main hall, who had been clinking glasses and chatting quietly, instantly quieted down, and then, the place erupted in chaos!
"lifespan treasure?"
"For real?"
"Quick, go over and take a look!"
"Let's get an invitation code to play around with!"
Rapid footsteps sounded one after another.
The few friends who had been eating in the same private room as the young man rushed out almost immediately.
In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the young man holding the phone.
"lifespan treasure?"
"Let me see!"
"Holy crap! It really is!"
"It really is a lifespan treasure!"
"Liangzi, did your ancestors' graves start smoking green smoke today or something?"
"How could this thing land on you?"
"Quick, send me an invitation code!"
"Let me touch the phone and rub off some of that luck!"
Within just a few breaths.
Over a dozen people had gathered around.
Everyone stretched their necks to look forward.
The look in their eyes was similar to seeing a winning lottery ticket.
Perhaps even more exaggerated than that.
After all, winning the lottery is for someone else.
But a lifespan treasure could potentially fall to them!
Simply because for the past two days...
...news about lifespan treasure had almost dominated the entire internet.
Weibo trending searches.
Short video platforms.
Forums and Tieba.
People were discussing it everywhere.
Some people were selling lifespan to pay off debts, while others were buying lifespan to extend their lives.
Some struck it rich overnight, while others found a new lease on life.
All sorts of news, true and false, were flying everywhere.
Yet in this vast city, lifespan treasure seemed to exist only online; in reality, it was one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.
The vast majority of people had only heard of it online, so how could they not be excited now that one had appeared right beside them?
Soon, more and more people gathered around.
There were those who had only eaten half their meal, those preparing to pay the bill, and even the waiters carrying dishes slowed their steps to sneak a peek.
Everyone's gaze fell upon that mobile phone.
"Brother."
"Let's discuss something."
"Can you give me an invitation code?"
A young man wearing glasses squeezed into the crowd with a flattering look on his face, "I won't take it for free; I'll give you two hundred yuan as a tea fee."
Upon hearing this, Liangzi's slightly dazed mind instantly cleared.
Looking at the envious gazes cast by the crowd around him, an unprecedented sense of superiority suddenly welled up in his heart.
He puffed out his chest and tucked his phone directly into his pocket.
"Two hundred?"
"Buddy, are you trying to brush off a beggar?"
The bespectacled youth was stunned, "Then how much do you want?"
Liangzi held up one finger, "One thousand. Not a penny less."
As soon as these words were out, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
"One thousand?"
"Are you robbing people?"
"Didn't the internet say that invitation codes are unlimited?"
"Right, people online have already exposed it; use one, and the backend automatically generates another. It's just a matter of moving your fingers, and you're actually asking for one thousand yuan?"
Facing the skepticism, Liangzi was not flustered at all; in fact, he even wanted to laugh, "So what if it's unlimited? The problem is you need to have the software."
"But do you have it?"
"Think it's expensive? Then go find a free one online."
"See if those people pay any attention to you."
This one sentence left many people speechless.
Indeed, over the past two days, many people online had claimed that invitation codes were free.
Some even claimed you could get one just by commenting "666".
But when you actually commented, either no one paid attention, or they immediately asked for a red envelope, and most of the ones encountered were basically scammers.
Not only would they block you after the transfer, but some would even use alt accounts to comfort you, saying, "The world is cruel; just consider it a lesson paid for."
Thinking of this, many people in the room began to look displeased.
Clearly, these were the ones who had been burned before.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Finally, the young man with glasses gritted his teeth.
"Five hundred."
"Deal or not?"
"If it's a deal, I'll transfer it immediately!"
Liangzi shook his head like a rattle-drum, "No, it's one thousand!"
"You should know the market rate for lifespan treasure right now. This is no longer just an invitation code; it's a ticket to a new world."
"Whether it's worth it or not, you know in your hearts."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere on the scene fell silent again.
After a full dozen seconds, the bespectacled youth suddenly gritted his teeth, "Fine! One thousand it is! As long as I can log in, I'll pay!"
Upon hearing this, Liangzi's eyes instantly lit up, and he immediately pulled out his phone, "Come on, come on! Scan the code! Once the transfer is done, I'll send it to you right away!"
Yet in the next second, the bespectacled youth scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Um... I don't have that much money right now."
"..."
The air went silent for a moment.
The smile on Liangzi's face also stiffened.
"Are you f*cking messing with me?"
"No!"
"Listen to me."
The bespectacled youth waved his hands hurriedly.
"I really don't have the money now, but as long as I have the invitation code, doesn't that mean I have money? Once I sell my lifespan and wait for the money to arrive, I'll transfer it to you immediately!"
Selling it on the spot?
Many people around heard this, and their expressions gradually became strange.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
Nowadays, the economic environment is poor. Many ordinary people want a lifespan treasure; when it comes down to it, isn't it just so they can sell some lifespan to get money for emergencies?
Liangzi looked the other person over suspiciously for a long time before finally relenting, "Fine, with so many people watching, you'd better not try any funny business!"
The bespectacled youth was overjoyed, "Don't worry! I definitely won't run off!"
...
Over here, Chen Fan just listened quietly to the commotion outside.
It was because, at this moment, he only cared about one thing!
He had just finished modifying the conditions for obtaining an invitation code; from now on, it was no longer free—to get one, you had to pay ten thousand yuan.
Yet right now, someone was using it right in front of him?
He would have to take a good look and see exactly what kind of feedback it would give.
