297: This warehouse is a real buy!

Since she had to take five days off next week, Chen Xinyi had to finish up some work today, so she wouldn't be off work and back home very early.

It was only because she had submitted her resignation that she could cash in her accumulated leave; otherwise, Chen Xinyi wouldn't have been able to take so many days off.

Furthermore, although Lin Hongyuan's wife already knew about him keeping a college mistress on the side,

Chen Xinyi had, after all, filmed the video of him going to a hotel with the college student.

Seeing each other around the office all the time, Lin Hongyuan couldn't help but find it a bit awkward.

Now that Chen Xinyi had flipped the table on her supervisor in public and resigned, it was actually a good thing for Lin Hongyuan.

Therefore, Lin Hongyuan was naturally more than happy to see Chen Xinyi's request for leave go through, and he approved it immediately.

As for that fat supervisor Chen Xinyi had mentioned, there was even less to say.

Ever since she was scolded in public by Chen Xinyi a few days ago, she hadn't dared to provoke Chen Xinyi again. She was a classic bully who feared the strong but preyed on the weak.

Seeing that Chen Xinyi wanted to take leave and wouldn't be appearing in the office next week, she was naturally only too glad to oblige.

Both the supervisor and the manager couldn't wait for Chen Xinyi to stay away from the office, so her leave application went incredibly smoothly, getting approved as soon as she submitted it.

“I don't know when she'll be back. I might as well use today's [Lucky Dice] first.”

Bored out of his mind at home alone, and seeing that it was already past six o'clock, Ye Su took out the [Lucky Dice] from the ornament, ready to gamble.

[Host's intelligence earnings today total 26,991 yuan]

“Only twenty-something thousand yuan...”

This amount wasn't tiny, but it wasn't huge either, failing to spark much interest in Ye Su.

“Let's go with [3].”

Ye Su casually chose a number and tossed the dice.

Obviously, Ye Su didn't have such heaven-defying luck to guess the correct number three days in a row.

This time, after rolling several times, the dice finally stopped on [5].

With twenty-something thousand yuan slipping away just like that, Ye Su didn't feel much of anything and casually put the dice back into the ornament.

Then, he opened the system's [Intelligence Details Page].

[Level 4 Intelligence: tuesday, Wednesday, thursday, Friday, Saturday]

[Level 3 Intelligence: Monday, Sunday]

“Only two Level 3 intelligences away from upgrading to a Level 4 system and unlocking its new functions!”

Ye Su checked his bank balance on his phone again and found only 1.97 million left.

“Two pieces of intelligence will cost 800,000. If I upgrade them now, I won't even have 1.2 million left on me.”

Although Ye Su was eagerly looking forward to the new functions unlocked by the Level 4 system,

after weighing it in his mind, he decided to hold out for one more day.

He would wait for tomorrow's intelligence refresh to see if he could make some more money before deciding whether to upgrade the last two pieces of intelligence on Sunday.

As his earning and spending speeds accelerated, having only one or two million in cash on hand could no longer give Ye Su much of a sense of security.

“Sigh, I've been investing a bit too much lately. Even a few million isn't enough to spend.”

Ye Su began dropping frantic hints to the system again:

“It would be great if tomorrow's refresh brings a Level 4 intelligence that can be exchanged for eight hundred thousand or a million.”

After muttering to himself several times to ensure the system could receive his signal,

Ye Su finally closed the system interface, ordered some takeout, and waited for Chen Xinyi to return.

...

“I'm back.”

It was past seven in the evening, and the takeout had been sitting there for quite a while by the time Chen Xinyi finally got off work and came home.

As soon as she walked in and saw the unopened takeout on the dining table, Chen Xinyi felt a touch of warmth in her heart.

Coming home after working overtime and having someone waiting to eat with you really felt great.

“You're back. Just in time for dinner.”

Ye Su walked out of the guest bedroom and met Chen Xinyi's affectionate gaze:

“Thinking about it at this hour? That's not very good, is it? Let's eat first, and I'll satisfy you properly tonight.”

Well...

The warmth that had just risen in Chen Xinyi's heart vanished without a trace in an instant because of Ye Su's words.

Would it kill this man to be a little romantic...

Although she knew she couldn't have everything, looking at Ye Su's mouth—which could annoy her in just two or three sentences—Chen Xinyi couldn't help but want to complain about him.

“Let's eat, let's eat!”

Chen Xinyi hung her handbag on the hook, muttered irritably, and turned to wash her hands in the bathroom.

After dinner, taking advantage of throwing out the trash, the two of them went out for a short walk.

Truth be told, this kind of life did have a peaceful, quiet Charm to it.

Along the way, Chen Xinyi kept chattering, constantly pouring out her nervousness and anxiety to Ye Su about entering a film crew for the first time tomorrow.

There were so many people in a short drama crew. If her poor performance delayed everyone, she wouldn't know what to do.

To dispel Chen Xinyi's anxiety, Ye Su could only resort to the most primitive method—draining her energy thoroughly that night so she wouldn't have the mind to think about anything else.

The effect was highly significant.

Aside from her face flushing red, Chen Xinyi had completely thrown her anxiety about joining the crew tomorrow to the back of her mind.

...

[Ding!]

At midnight, Chen Xinyi had already fallen asleep past eleven o'clock due to exhaustion and needing to wake up early tomorrow to go to the Bay Area Film and Television City to join the crew for filming. Ye Su didn't even need to use the [Sleep Aid Service].

And as Ye Su waited, today's intelligence popped up right on time.

[Today's Intelligence (Level 4): In the secondhand warehouse the Host acquired yesterday, there is a USB flash drive containing a bitcoin wallet private key.]

[hidden easter egg (Attribute Reward): After successfully finding the USB flash drive containing the bitcoin wallet private key, the Host can obtain 4 points of [Charm] as a reward.]

“A bitcoin, and it's in my own warehouse!”

Seeing this intelligence, Ye Su almost rolled out of bed, got dressed, and rushed to the warehouse to dig out that USB drive.

Even if he wasn't a computer science major and knew nothing about blockchain technology, Ye Su was no stranger to bitcoin.

Because in recent years, this digital currency had skyrocketed like crazy, taking other digital currencies up to the heavens with it.

Even if Ye Su didn't pay attention to it, he couldn't avoid constantly seeing news feeds about bitcoin.

Like everyone else, when he saw a single bitcoin rise to 20,000 USD a few years ago, Ye Su was convinced that the digital currency bubble was about to burst and it would crash soon.

He thought the same when bitcoin rose to 30,000 USD.

Then he saw the news of a single bitcoin climbing to 40,000 USD, 50,000 USD, 60,000 USD...

One news report after another about bitcoin prices breaking new highs had constantly shattered Ye Su's preconceptions over the past few years.

He had long stopped thinking about stuff like 'the digital currency bubble is about to burst.'

It was just that every time he saw news about bitcoin, Ye Su regretted not buying some for fun back when it was worthless.

He wouldn't even have needed many; just buying a hundred or so would have given him financial freedom by now!

“Right now, a single bitcoin should be hyped up to almost 100,000 USD. Converted to RMB, one can be sold for over 700,000 yuan!”
