257: Corruption outfit

After Chen Qi left, Ye Su immediately turned back and diligently picked up all the things he had brought:

"I'll take everything to the kitchen first."

Seeing Ye Su so diligent for once, Chen Xinyi was deeply gratified. She picked up the cosmetics Chen Qi had given her and walked toward the master bedroom:

"Alright, I'm going to take a shower then."

"Okay."

After replying, Ye Su carried the things into the kitchen.

First, he sorted and put away the dried goods like sea cucumbers and abalones, then opened two Starbucks Rice Dumplings, planning to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in a bit.

Once he heard the sound of Chen Xinyi showering coming from the master bedroom, Ye Su seized the moment to open the milk that Chen Qi had brought.

"It really is bribery packaging."

Earlier in the living room, when he lifted the milk, Ye Su had already noticed something was off.

The box said 10 bottles of milk, 250ml each, but the volume of this packaging box could easily fit 20 bottles, let alone 10.

When he picked it up, Ye Su could also clearly feel that the weight was wrong.

Sure enough, upon opening it, Ye Su saw that all 10 bottles of milk were placed on the top layer.

After taking out all 10 bottles of milk, Ye Su pulled away the foam paper padding. What met his eyes were neat stacks of bright red hundred-yuan bills.

Excitedly taking all the money out of the box, Ye Su counted them. It was exactly 20 stacks, no more, no less.

"Rich people really are generous. A single red envelope is 200,000 yuan!"

To the current Ye Su, 200,000 yuan wasn't a huge sum. He had nearly 2 million yuan left in his bank card alone.

After a whole day of splurging today, even though the reimbursement from the [Ruyi Abacus] hadn't come through yet, his total cash added up to over 2.45 million yuan—a proper millionaire.

But this was still the first time in his life that Ye Su had seen 200,000 yuan in cash.

Truth be told, compared to a cold number in a bank card, seeing thick stacks of cash right in front of his eyes was much more shocking.

After feeling the weight of the 200,000 yuan in cash, Ye Su put all the money into the packaging box of the robot vacuum he bought this afternoon, and openly placed the box on a shelf in the storage room.

After putting the money away, Ye Su stuffed all the discarded packaging bags into the milk box and took it outside to throw away.

Returning after throwing out the trash, Chen Xinyi was still showering. Ye Su went back to the second bedroom and took the [Lucky Dice] out of the decorative ornament.

[Host's intelligence earnings today total 243,047 yuan]

Since today was a holiday, the [Working Cat] had no income. Fortunately, the [sunscreen clothing] provided Ye Su with over 40,000 yuan in earnings.

"Let's go with 2."

After using the [Gambling for Fun] skill a few times, Ye Su had gradually become calm, no longer looking like a red-eyed gambler when rolling the dice like he did a couple of days ago.

Cupping the [Lucky Dice] in one hand, Ye Su shook it casually and rolled it onto the table.

It rolled across the table and finally landed on a red 4.

"Sigh—" Ye Su sighed. "It really is hard to guess the number!"

Regretfully putting the [Lucky Dice] back into the ornament, Ye Su grabbed his pajamas and went to the outer bathroom to shower.

That night, the two relived those passionate, burning years once again.

As midnight approached, Chen Xinyi, who was exhausted, had already fallen fast asleep.

Ye Su, however, silently stared at the countdown on the screen, waiting for the midnight intelligence refresh.

[There is still 00:00:01 until the next intelligence refresh. Please wait patiently, Host!]

[Ding!]

Under Ye Su's expectant gaze, the time finally jumped to midnight of the next day.

[Today's Intelligence (Level 3): Inside a second-hand furniture store on Renping Street in Tangyong Village-in-the-City, there is a sofa containing two gold bars, each weighing 200 grams.]

More gold bars to collect!

Just a few days ago, when he took over Echo Antiques, he had just retrieved four 200-gram gold bars from a concrete pillar.

Now with the intelligence refresh, here comes another sofa hiding two 200-gram gold bars.

And the Audi car he bought from Chen Qi last time also had two 100-gram gold bars pulled out from under the seat cushion.

Three pieces of intelligence proved that hoarding gold was indeed a gene engraved in the bones of Chinese people.

Anyone with a bit of spare cash would either think of making some gold jewelry or hoarding some gold bars to preserve value.

It's just that, for some unknown reason, some gold bars just disappear after being hoarded for a while, just like how some people drift apart as they walk through life.

"Last time, four gold bars sold for over 500,000 yuan. Now these two gold bars can also sell for over 200,000 yuan. Today's Level 3 intelligence is pretty good."

Ye Su didn't care what the reason was; anyway, he knew that these gold bars belonged to him now.

[hidden easter egg (Pay Raise): Successfully buy the sofa and find the two gold bars inside, and you can raise the Working Cat's salary once. For every swing of its arm, the Host can receive a reward of two RMB!]

He could give the Working Cat a pay raise!

The newly refreshed [hidden easter egg] made Ye Su's eyes light up again.

Previously, the [Working Cat] earned 1 yuan per arm swing, which brought him over 200,000 yuan in income every month.

Now it suddenly increased to two yuan. In other words, even if he did absolutely nothing, the [Working Cat] could bring him over 500,000 yuan in income every month!

Of course, the more of this kind of effortless income, the better for Ye Su.

[Industrial and Commercial Bank of China: Your card ending in 9539 received a transfer of 195,674 yuan at 00:00 on June 1st. The current balance is 2,146,616 yuan.]

"A transfer of 195,000 yuan. It should be the reimbursement from the [Ruyi Abacus] arriving."

Other than the reimbursement from the [Ruyi Abacus], Ye Su couldn't think of anyone else who would transfer money to him at this hour.

"195,000 yuan, there's still over 4,000 yuan left unspent. This month, I must strive to squeeze [Brother System] dry, not leaving a single drop!"

After planning in his mind how to squeeze dry [Brother System]'s 200,000 yuan limit this month, Ye Su finally shut down the system.

"Time to sleep, and tomorrow I'll go get the gold bars first!"

Ye Su rolled over and fell asleep under the effect of the [Sleep Aid Service].

...

The next morning, after finishing the breakfast prepared by Chen Xinyi.

Seeing that it was already 9 o'clock, estimating that the second-hand furniture store should be open, Ye Su said to Chen Xinyi:

"I have some things to do this morning, I need to go out for a bit."

"Okay." Hearing that Ye Su was going out, a flash of secret joy crossed Chen Xinyi's eyes, and she calmly probed, "Are you coming back for lunch?"

"Probably?"

"Is it a yes or a no?"

"Yes."

"Then before you come back, remember to tell me on your phone so I can wash the rice and start cooking."

Faced with Chen Xinyi repeatedly confirming when he would return, Ye Su didn't think too much of it.

Mainly, Ye Su wasn't worried at all that Chen Xinyi would do what people on the internet said—taking advantage of his absence to cheat on him with another man.

After all, Ye Su believed that even if Chen Xinyi had the mind for it, she wouldn't have the physical stamina.

"Okay."

After replying, Ye Su put on his shoes and went out the door.
