243: Who do you want me to help you kill?

Rattle—

At 9:27 PM, once the sound of Chen Xinyi showering drifted from the bathroom, Ye Su reverently brought out the [Lucky Dice].

Looking at the solemn and grave expression on his face, one would think he was about to bathe, change clothes, and light three sticks of incense.

[Host's intelligence earnings for today total 642,692 yuan!]

"Over six hundred thousand!"

"With this one roll, I could buy a house back home!"

"Damn it, if I guess right today, I'm going to change my car tomorrow!"

Planning on whether to switch to a Mercedes-Benz, a BMW, or get a Porsche to drive around, Ye Su held the [Lucky Dice], superstitiously blew into his cupped hands, and then began to shake them continuously.

"The day before yesterday it rolled a 3, and yesterday it rolled a 6. According to probability theory, the chance of rolling the same number consecutively must be lower than other numbers."

With over six hundred thousand at stake, Ye Su utilized all the knowledge he had learned in school over the years, trying his best to increase the probability of guessing the number correctly.

"Give me a 5!"

After agonizing over the remaining four numbers for a long time, Ye Su finally placed his bet of six hundred and forty thousand on [5].

Click—

Ye Su released his hands, and the dice rolled toward the front of the table.

"So much for my lifelong learning!"

Watching the [Lucky Dice] roll countless times before finally stopping steadily on 6, Ye Su instantly cursed:

"I, 6 your—!"

At this moment, the telegraph sounds in the room were denser than during the Battle of Stalingrad.

"Whew!"

After finishing his telegraphing, Ye Su began to take deep breaths to calm himself down:

"Misfortune is where good fortune lies; good fortune is where misfortune lurks."

"Yesterday it rolled a 6, and I won over three hundred thousand; it seemed like good luck."

"But it was also because it rolled a 6 yesterday that I didn't bet on 6 today, causing me to miss out on over six hundred thousand."

"Isn't this exactly how good and bad fortune are intertwined?"

Trying to numb himself with philosophy, but seeing the [Lucky Dice] on the table and the glaring 6 on it, Ye Su couldn't help but curse again:

"Damn your grandfather!"

The outcome was decided, and cursing was useless, so Ye Su could only dejectedly put the [Lucky Dice] back into the ornament.

"No wonder it gave me a [health cup] to help me improve my [Health] attribute."

"Just considering the thrill of the [Lucky Dice], if my body weren't this healthy, I'd have burst a blood vessel sooner or later!"

Rolling the dice and missing out on 640,000 made Ye Su very angry.

Fortunately, Chen Xinyi offered verbal comfort in the evening, which helped Ye Su slowly cool down, and he waited patiently for the intelligence to refresh at midnight:

"Let's see what the midnight intelligence is like. If the earnings are too low, it's time to continue upgrading the intelligence."

Having missed out on a huge sum of money on the [Lucky Dice] tonight, Ye Su had to find a way to earn it back.

The only way was to increase intelligence earnings and gamble on a big one.

[Ding!]

[Today's Intelligence (Level 3): Bowen Antique Shop received a Republic of China yellow rosewood abacus yesterday, which is a Mysterious Surprise Item. After buying the abacus, the Host can activate a Hidden Attribute and receive a mysterious surprise reward]

"Whoa, another Mysterious Surprise Item!"

Ye Su was glad he hadn't chosen to upgrade Friday's intelligence earlier.

After all, Mysterious Surprise Items, like investment intelligence, are considered special intelligence.

Logically speaking, the Mysterious Surprise Items generated by Level 3 intelligence and Level 4 intelligence should be the same.

If he had upgraded to Level 4 intelligence earlier, he would have just wasted a Level 4 intelligence opportunity.

"The abacus is in Bowen Antique Shop; getting my hands on it shouldn't be a problem."

"I've sold so many things to Bowen Antique Shop; it's time to return the favor and patronize them for once."

[hidden easter egg (Skill Upgrade): Detected that the Host has taken over a boutique Secondhand Shop and will have item trading business in the future. Now providing the Host with a [Item Appraisal] skill upgrade opportunity. Just buy the [abacus] to unlock [Remote Appraisal] and [Monthly Subscription Service] functions]

[Remote Appraisal Introduction: Employees only need to send photos of the goods to the Host to use the skill and identify the price of the item. Monthly Subscription Service Introduction: In addition to the 99 yuan per use fee, the Host can also choose a monthly subscription service for 999 yuan with unlimited usage]

"Upgrading the [Item Appraisal] skill not only allows for cyber appraisal via photos but also offers a monthly subscription. That's great!"

A major difficulty in running a boutique Secondhand Shop is naturally the source of goods.

He doesn't have the time to go to various secondhand markets to hunt for items like Feng Zhiquan and others; he can only rely on customers coming to him to sell things.

Ye Su was worrying that the employees he hired to watch the store wouldn't understand the prices of the items, forcing him to deal with it himself.

Now it's all good.

The upgrade of the [Item Appraisal] skill solved another problem for Ye Su, allowing him not to be trapped in [Echo Antiques].

"Time to sleep. There's a pile of things to do tomorrow."

Ye Su rolled over, pulled the sleeping Chen Xinyi into his arms, sniffed deeply, and took a small breath of her scent.

Not to mention the [Sleep Aid Service] skill, just having a beautiful woman with a faint natural fragrance lying beside him was already a great help for sleep.

[Sleep Aid Service] activated; Ye Su closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep within minutes.

...

[Feng Zhiquan: Is it convenient for you to come over today? I need to sign the warehouse sublease contract with the landlord]

[Around 1:30 PM, is that okay?]

[Feng Zhiquan: No problem, I'll schedule a time with the landlord]

[Okay]

The next morning, Ye Su returned to school for class and received a message from Feng Zhiquan during the break.

After a few simple messages, the matter of signing the sublease contract was confirmed.

Once the sublease contract is signed and the license is transferred, Ye Su can officially become the owner of [Echo Antiques].

After chatting with Feng Zhiquan, Ye Su opened the [305 Are All Handsome Guys] group and sent a message.

[Don't go to the cafeteria at noon. I'm ordering takeout; we'll eat together later]

He couldn't help it; as soon as he had money in his pocket, Ye Su wanted to treat his brothers to a meal.

After sending the message, Ye Su nudged Lin Jingjie with his elbow and told him he was treating them to lunch.

Knowing his brother was rich now, Lin Jingjie didn't stand on ceremony at all and gave him a thumbs up.

[Second Handsome Guy: Thanks, Godfather!]

Fang Zewei also sent a [kowtow in gratitude] emoji.

[What do you three want to eat?]

[Second Handsome Guy: Whatever Godfather orders, the family eats.]

[Fourth Handsome Guy: Seconded.]

"What about you?"

"I'm fine with anything."

"OK."

Seeing that the three had no objections, Ye Su opened the food delivery app to pick lunch.

After some deliberation, Ye Su finally chose to order Thai food.

Curry crab, Tom Yum soup...

Ordering various items, the takeout meal cost Ye Su over three hundred again.

Ye Su waited for the delivery rider downstairs for a while, then carried the takeout back to the dormitory.

Seeing the sumptuous lunch, Jiang Zhibin immediately cupped his hands: "Godfather, tell me, who do you want me to kill for you?"
