97: Chapter 97 The World Begins to Operate on Its Own

lifespan treasure?

Hearing these three words,

the young man and woman, who had still looked wary just a moment ago, froze almost simultaneously.

In the next second, their eyes widened instantly.

"The lifespan treasure?"

"You're saying you have the lifespan treasure?"

Their voices couldn't help but rise a few octaves.

After all!

Over the past few days, the most talked-about topic in the public eye was undoubtedly the lifespan treasure!

Friends' circles, short videos, news, hot searches...

It was practically everywhere!

Because of the lifespan treasure, many out-of-towners had even made special trips to Jianghai City, causing hotel, dining, and taxi prices to surge.

It was no exaggeration to say that in Jianghai City right now, it was normal not to know who the mayor was, but not knowing about the lifespan treasure... now that would be truly bizarre.

Seeing their reaction,

Sun Liu immediately flashed an "I knew it" smile.

He glanced left and right.

Then, with an air of mystery, he pulled out his phone, lit up the screen, and displayed the familiar black-and-gold icon right in front of them.

"See this?"

"The real deal!"

"No deception here!"

Seeing this, Lin Wei's eyes instantly lit up.

"It really is the lifespan treasure!"

Excitedly, she grabbed her boyfriend Zhou Kai's arm and shook it repeatedly. "Babe, babe! He really has the lifespan treasure!"

Her tone sounded as if she had laid eyes on some rare, priceless treasure.

Zhou Kai couldn't help but take a few more looks as well.

Deep in his eyes, an undisguised look of burning desire flashed.

After all, this was the lifespan treasure!

An invitation code that countless people right now were dreaming of getting their hands on!

Seeing that the timing was right, Sun Liu immediately began to reel them in gently.

"Bro."

"Want to buy a car?"

"But you're a bit short on the budget?"

Zhou Kai nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Sun Liu curled his lips into a smile.

"Isn't that simple?"

"As long as you have the lifespan treasure, why worry about money?"

"Just sell a few years of your lifespan on a whim."

"And wouldn't this car be yours?"

As he spoke, he intentionally glanced at the Porsche 911 parked nearby.

"If you're willing to part with a bit more,"

"never mind this car..."

"even a Rolls-Royce could be driven straight home!"

Hearing this, Zhou Kai's heart skipped a heavy beat.

As a white-collar worker at a company, although his income was decent,

if it weren't to please his goddess, he would never be willing to splurge on a luxury car.

A Rolls-Royce... was something he didn't even dare to dream of.

But now, it seemed like it might not actually be a dream?

Beside him, Lin Wei's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

When she looked at Zhou Kai, her gaze was filled with anticipation.

However...

Zhou Kai didn't speak immediately.

Although he was tempted, his head hadn't completely overheated yet.

When he was scrolling through videos last night, he clearly saw someone online leak that an invitation code... only cost ten thousand yuan, didn't it?

Yet now, this guy was actually asking for a hundred thousand?

Wasn't this a bit too much of a rip-off?

Thinking of this, Zhou Kai frowned.

"Bro, isn't a hundred thousand a bit expensive?"

"Wasn't it just ten thousand yesterday?"

"Expensive?"

Hearing this, Sun Liu burst into laughter.

He laughed very naturally,

as if he had long expected someone to ask this.

"Bro,"

"ten thousand was yesterday's price."

"Today, the price of the invitation code has already gone up."

Zhou Kai was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Sun Liu opened the lifespan treasure app.

He smoothly tapped into the [invitation code Center].

In the very center of the page, there were only a few eye-catching, large characters.

[invitation code: 20,000 each]

[Sold Out.]

He held the phone up in front of the two.

"See for yourselves."

"Yesterday, the official price was ten thousand."

"Today, it has already risen to twenty thousand."

"And..."

"it's been out of stock for ages."

"Even if you have the software, you can't buy it!"

"So now, do you still think a hundred thousand is expensive?"

Lin Wei quickly leaned in. When she saw the words "Sold Out," her delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Are there really no codes left?"

Zhou Kai was also somewhat surprised. "An invitation code... can actually go out of stock?"

"Of course."

Sun Liu said as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Right now, on the entire internet, who wouldn't desperately want to get an invitation code?"

"Unfortunately, as soon as they're released, they get snatched up in no time."

"I only managed to snag a few because of good luck."

He spoke of this with casual indifference.

But in reality...

Sun Liu had almost scared himself to death last night!

Yesterday, when he saw that the invitation codes were starting to cost money,

Sun Liu hadn't taken it seriously at all.

Selling an invitation code for ten thousand yuan seemed like a normal way to set a barrier to entry.

It wasn't until the middle of the night, when he woke up in a daze and casually opened the lifespan treasure app to see if there was anything new,

that he saw the result!

In the invitation code column!

Six characters were prominently displayed!

[invitation codes sold out.]

At that moment, Sun Liu instantly snapped wide awake.

He stared at the screen for a full dozen seconds.

Suddenly, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

A business opportunity!

This is a fucking business opportunity!

Since the official source wasn't offering an unlimited supply and would go out of stock,

didn't that mean...

invitation codes were still a rare commodity?

Thinking of this, Sun Liu was so excited that he barely slept all night.

He kept watching the app, constantly refreshing,

terrified of missing a restock.

It could be said that he opened it to check almost every few minutes.

At 2:00 AM, nothing.

At 3:00 AM, still nothing.

At 4:00 AM, still sold out.

He waited all the way until this morning!

Just as he was about to give up,

the page refreshed once more.

The invitation codes were displayed as purchasable again!

At that moment, Sun Liu's eyes turned slightly bloodshot.

Caring about nothing else, he frantically tapped to purchase.

One, two, five, ten, twenty, thirty...

However, as his balance dwindled,

the page still showed them as purchasable...

His heart began to hang in suspense.

What if...

what if the invitation codes were always in stock?

Wouldn't he have thrown his hundreds of thousands down the drain?

But just as he was filled with anxiety,

a prompt suddenly popped up on the page again.

[invitation codes sold out.]

The moment he saw those words, Sun Liu almost cried.

He slumped directly onto the sofa,

and then grinned so wide his mouth couldn't close.

invitation codes really had a limited supply?!

If so, didn't that mean...

the invitation codes in his hands were a scarce resource?

Thus,

early this morning,

Sun Liu began scouring the streets for targets.

Luxury stores, high-end malls, auto shows...

...

After listening to Sun Liu's words, Zhou Kai fell silent for a moment.

It had to be said that he was convinced.

After all, the official source was out of stock.

A hundred thousand... didn't seem unacceptable?

At this moment, Lin Wei, the goddess beside him whom he had pursued with great difficulty, shook off his arm. "Zhou Kai, what's with the silence?"

Zhou Kai was taken aback. "Ah?"

Lin Wei crossed her arms, her face visibly turning cold.

"Is this not like last night when you said you loved me?"

"You even said you were willing to give up everything for me."

"Now, when asked to buy an invitation code, you hesitate?"

"Sure enough, all men are the same!"

"Once you get what you want, you don't cherish it!"

Zhou Kai's expression changed instantly.

"Baby, no, let me explain..."

But Lin Wei didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

She turned her head directly to Sun Liu.

"He doesn't want it."

"I do."

Hearing this, Sun Liu's eyes lit up instantly.

Either way was fine, it was all the same!

His movements were astonishingly fast; in almost less than a second, his payment QR code was thrust in front of Lin Wei.

"Beautiful."

"Straightforward!"

"Payment first."

"I'll send the code immediately."

"No credit allowed."

Lin Wei glared at Zhou Kai.

Then she pulled out her phone, just about to scan the code.

But in the next second, a hand suddenly reached out.

Swish!

It snatched the QR code right away.

Zhou Kai took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind. He looked at Lin Wei and forced a smile.

"Baby, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it."

"Isn't it just a hundred thousand?"

"I'll buy it! I'll buy it!"

With that, he directly opened Alipay and began the transfer.

Watching this, the coldness on Lin Wei's face finally softened slightly. She hugged his arm again, her voice sickeningly sweet.

"Babe is the best~~"

"I knew you loved me the most."
