193: Bird nest robbing at midnight

[Ding!]

[The intelligence upgrade opportunity for May has arrived. Please check it, Host!]

On the night of the 21st, at 23:41:39, the [Intelligence Upgrade] arrived right on time.

"It's finally here!"

Ye Su opened the system impatiently:

"Use one [Intelligence Upgrade] to upgrade thursday's Level 3 intelligence to Level 4 intelligence!"

[Upgrade successful!]

[There are 00:18:25 left until the next intelligence refresh. Please wait patiently, Host!]

"I wonder what kind of thing the first Level 4 intelligence will refresh?"

The direct profit from Level 3 intelligence could range from over one hundred thousand to over two hundred thousand.

With one more level up, Ye Su felt that the minimum should be at least four or five hundred thousand; otherwise, the four hundred thousand cost to upgrade to Level 4 intelligence wouldn't be worth it.

"You don't know, I wore the watch and bracelet you gave me to the company today, and Lin Zhishan and the others were so envious."

Chen Xinyi didn't notice Ye Su's distraction and continued chattering away, sharing her experiences at the company today.

"And that fat hag supervisor, I felt like when she saw me today, she hated me so much that her fat was almost bursting out of her eyes. It cracked me up."

After taking a moment to upgrade the intelligence, Ye Su snapped back to reality and continued to humor Chen Xinyi:

"I've seen in TV dramas that at this point, shouldn't your colleagues at work be talking behind your back, making snide remarks about you being kept by someone?"

Chen Xinyi gave Ye Su a coquettish look: "It doesn't need to be now. Ever since I got together with you, there have been a few women in the company secretly saying that I'm being kept by someone."

"Then aren't you angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? They're just a few people whose physique and looks are inferior to mine, and no men want them, so they can only hide in the shadows and be envious, jealous, and hateful towards me."

Chen Xinyi was quite open-minded about these things: "The more they badmouth me, doesn't it just prove that I'm living well right now?"

"Yo, your mindset is actually pretty good. I'll reward you with a kiss."

Ye Su launched a sneak attack and kissed Chen Xinyi on the face.

"Annoying."

Facing Ye Su's sneak attack, Chen Xinyi just rolled her eyes and didn't make any other moves.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted a bit more, and seeing that it was almost time for the intelligence refresh, Ye Su urged Chen Xinyi that it was time to sleep.

"Mm."

At Ye Su's reminder, Chen Xinyi reluctantly turned off the desk lamp and prepared to sleep.

Perhaps the [Sleep Aid Service] was addictive, as Chen Xinyi's own sleep quality was getting better and better.

A few minutes after the lights were out, Ye Su noticed that Chen Xinyi's breathing had gradually steadied; she was clearly already asleep.

"You really are comparable to a pig..."

Ye Su didn't skimp on the 99 yuan every night; while complaining about Chen Xinyi, he still bought her a [Sleep Aid Service].

After doing all this, Ye Su patiently waited for the intelligence to refresh.

[Ding!]

[Today's Intelligence (Level 4): In the southwest direction of Changfeng Wetland Park, in a bird's nest on one of the trees, there is a rare meteorite carried into the nest by a bird. The meteorite weighs 29.3 grams, and the maximum selling price per gram can reach about twenty thousand yuan, with a total price reaching 600,000.]

[Note: The meteorite is not radioactive; the Host can pick it up with peace of mind.]

[hidden easter egg (Special Reward): After successfully picking up the meteorite, the Host can obtain a 5-point durability increase for the [Working Cat].]

"A meteorite with a maximum selling price of 600,000!"

Seeing this number, Ye Su's heart thumped a few times quite unpromisingly.

This was the most valuable thing he had seen in the three months since binding with the system!

"It really is worthy of being Level 4 intelligence!"

Ye Su had originally expected that if Level 4 intelligence could bring in four or five hundred thousand in profit, he would already be satisfied.

He didn't expect Brother System to be so generous, bringing it straight up to 600,000.

In addition, there was a [hidden easter egg] that could restore 5 points of durability for the [Working Cat].

The [Working Cat] had been activated for less than two days, and the durability hadn't dropped yet, so Ye Su couldn't figure out how many days the [Working Cat] could work with one point of durability.

But if lucky, one point of durability should be able to last three or four days.

Five points of durability was equivalent to another one hundred thousand or so!

"Let's get to it!"

Adding up to over 700,000, now just lying quietly in a bird's nest waiting for him to raid it, how could Ye Su still sleep?

For emergencies, Ye Su had already bought some headlamps, work gloves, and other tools, keeping them in the utility room.

After getting up and changing clothes, grabbing the tools from the utility room, Ye Su drove straight to Changfeng Wetland Park.

Unlike other activity parks that close as soon as night falls, Changfeng Wetland Park didn't have a closing time.

Because the entire area in front of Ye Su, marked as 45 hectares on map software, was all within the scope of Changfeng Wetland Park.

With such a large area, Changfeng Wetland Park didn't even have walls built, and it was open to the public for free around the clock.

Saving the trouble of climbing walls, after parking in the southwest direction, Ye Su randomly found a path where the grass had already been trampled flat by people and entered Changfeng Wetland Park.

"There it is!"

The wetland corridor extended for two or three kilometers and was several hundred meters wide; wandering blindly definitely wouldn't work.

After entering the park, Ye Su looked up and carefully scanned the tops of the surrounding large trees.

Finally, he successfully discovered that on a large tree in the distance, an unusual light was flashing, guiding him in the right direction.

Putting on his headlamp and following the guidance, Ye Su walked closer, and the light became increasingly obvious, eventually arriving under a large tree.

With the light from the headlamp, he estimated that the tree was about three or four stories high.

However, the bird's nest was only about seven or eight meters high.

Unlike city kids, Ye Su was a child who grew up in his hometown county; when he was a kid, he and his buddies often ran into people's orchards, climbing trees to steal their fruit.

Even when playing hide-and-seek, people would often hide in trees.

The tree in front of him could be wrapped around with both hands, so naturally, it couldn't stump Ye Su.

Putting on work gloves and connecting the rope he had prepared in advance, he tied it into a circle, crossed it, and put it on his feet.

Ye Su started, just like Jackie Chan in "Who Am I?", grabbing the trunk with both hands and using the friction of the rope with his feet to hop up the tree.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and there were no young couples "exchanging" feelings in the park.

Otherwise, if they saw a black shadow hopping up the tree, it might just give the dude some psychological trauma.

And when Ye Su climbed halfway up, there was movement from the tree; presumably, the little bird sensed danger and quickly fled the nest.

"Sorry, Brother Bird, Sister Bird, this brother is just trying to make a living; after I raid your nest, I'll be gone in a moment."

Confirming that no "ice cream" was falling from the sky, Ye Su apologized to the birds whose sweet dreams he had disturbed, and then continued to climb up.

With the support of [Physique] and [Strength] attributes, and having Jackie Chan providing action guidance, Ye Su only took twenty-something seconds to climb to the bird's nest, one hand hanging onto the nearby branch.
