313: Knowledge is wealth!
With the item in hand, Ye Su left the study, not forgetting to close the door behind him on his way out.
Li Shanhai's study could only be opened from the inside once closed; to enter from the outside, a key was required.
With the three antiques left on the table, there was no need to worry about anyone taking them.
"Back down so soon? Did you pick out a book?"
"I did." Ye Su held up the book in his hand. "I took this one."
Having just seen Li Shanhai come downstairs alone, Wang Lijuan had already asked what the two of them were doing in the study.
Therefore, seeing Ye Su come down with a book, neither the mother nor daughter found it strange at all.
"What book did you take?"
As soon as Ye Su sat down, Li Mengyao took the copy of "the intelligent investor" from his hands.
After flipping through two pages, she shoved it back into Ye Su's hands, clearly finding the book too boring.
After taking back the book Li Mengyao had shoved at him, Ye Su showed it to Li Shanhai:
"I should be able to take this book, right?"
Li Shanhai replied without even looking, "Go ahead."
[Ding!]
The moment Li Shanhai finished speaking, Ye Su heard the system's notification sound.
[Congratulations Host, you have successfully obtained the intelligence item — "the intelligent investor" and received a storage space reward. Would you like to claim it?]
As expected, it required the original owner's verbal consent.
After finding "the intelligent investor" in the study, since he hadn't heard the system notification that the [hidden easter egg] was complete, Ye Su had guessed that he needed Li Shanhai's explicit consent to finish the task.
It seemed he understood the system quite well after all.
Since the occasion wasn't right, Ye Su chose not to claim this [hidden easter egg] reward on the spot and continued chatting with Li Shanhai and his wife.
Around 6 o'clock, dinner was served right on time at Li Mengyao's home.
Ye Su had come over for dinner a few times, and while the dishes were different each time, they were always equally sumptuous.
Today's meal featured black gold abalone with a hint of wine, steamed leopard coral grouper, and Wagyu short ribs with dried tangerine peel and lemongrass...
The meat and vegetables were perfectly balanced, and Ye Su ate with great relish.
As his Physique continued to increase, Ye Su's digestive ability grew stronger, and naturally, he ate more as well.
Ye Su still couldn't defy the law of conservation of energy.
Plus, Ye Su was young and strong, while Li Shanhai and Wang Lijuan were both over 50 this year, and Li Mengyao ate sparingly to maintain her figure.
This meant that Ye Su's appetite alone was almost enough to match that of Li Mengyao's family of three.
When Li Mengyao had called Ye Su a glutton before, she really hadn't been wrong.
On the other hand, Wang Lijuan felt happy watching Ye Su bury his head in his meal.
With that way of eating, he looked like someone blessed with good fortune.
By the time the meal was finished, it was already past 7 PM.
Although he was eager to drive the Lamborghini and activate the Hidden Attribute of "the intelligent investor".
Ye Su couldn't help but keep Li Shanhai and his wife company, chatting about daily trivialities until past 8 PM, before finally spotting an opportunity to stand up and take his leave.
"Uncle, Auntie, please stay seated. I'll be going now, I'll come over for dinner again next time."
The "next time" Ye Su referred to would naturally be when the system refreshed another [Mysterious Surprise Item] at their house, or when there was something he couldn't handle that needed their help to resolve.
"Alright, drive safely on the way. Come over for dinner whenever you're free, or the two of you can go out and have fun. No matter how busy you are with work, remember to rest."
"I know, Auntie."
Ye Su waved goodbye; this time, Li Mengyao didn't get up to see him off either.
Not having to worry about when this woman might kick him from behind, Ye Su was happy to feel relaxed and at ease as he left the villa alone with the book.
Beep beep—
Unlocking the car door and getting into the Lamborghini, seeing that no one was around, Ye Su couldn't help but touch it here and there with curiosity.
"I'm finally driving a Lamborghini; life is really looking up!"
Vroom vroom—
After all, he was at someone else's house, so Ye Su didn't dare linger too long. After the initial wave of excitement and novelty passed, he followed what he had learned last night, started the car, and drove away from the villa amidst the roar of the V8 engine.
If he weren't afraid of being mistaken for a reckless punk on a modified scooter, Ye Su would have really liked to rev it a few times while on the road.
Of course, driving a 4-million-yuan Lamborghini, if he were really mistaken for a reckless punk, Ye Su would just assume the other person was being salty.
If you're riding a cheap scooter, you need to speak up for your motorcycle.
But if you're driving a multi-million-yuan Lamborghini, the Lamborghini will naturally speak for you.
He didn't speed around like an upstart, but Ye Su still drove around for a good half hour, stopped at a gas station to fill up the tank, and then drove back to his residential complex.
Although it was a car from the same company, it was different from driving the Audi A6 before.
This time, driving the Lamborghini Urus definitely earned Ye Su plenty of attention.
Not only did he notice people staring at his car while waiting at red lights.
Even when refueling at the gas station, Ye Su saw the staff constantly eyeing the car.
Ye Su didn't doubt for a second that if he parked the car on the side of the road now, someone would soon come to knock on the window and ask to add him on social media.
Of course, Ye Su didn't have such a perverse sense of humor to actually find a bar or a university to test the [automatic pickup] function of the Lamborghini.
After driving around, he returned to the complex and parked the Lamborghini in his own parking spot, preventing it from being used by some minor influencer to sit on the hood and take photos, as seen in some videos.
As for the Audi A6, Ye Su had already parked it in a public parking space outside when he returned to the complex in the afternoon.
Once the Lamborghini's title transfer was complete tomorrow, he would sell that car and move the license plate to the Lamborghini.
After going upstairs and placing "the intelligent investor" on the coffee table, Ye Su immediately summoned the system.
"Spend 99 yuan to activate the [Hidden Attribute] of [Mysterious Surprise Item — "the intelligent investor"]!"
[Payment successful, activating [Hidden Attribute], please wait, Host...]
[Ding!]
Hearing the notification sound, Ye Su narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the system screen, wanting to know what special skill would be activated this time.
[Congratulations Host, you have obtained the Mysterious Surprise Item: Book of Wealth!]
[Book of Wealth skill: There is a house of gold in books!]
[Skill Introduction: Every time the Host opens the [Book of Wealth] for the first time each day, you can activate the [There is a house of gold in books!] skill and obtain a 20-gram piece of gold!]
"Holy crap!"
Seeing the skill activated this time, Ye Su was so excited he almost jumped up on the spot:
"Being able to conjure a 20-gram piece of gold every day, this is truly a literal [There is a house of gold in books!]!"
Current gold prices were basically over 750 yuan per gram, and if he was lucky, it could even rise to 800 yuan per gram.
20 grams of gold meant an income of over 15,000 yuan every day.
Unlike the [Working Cat] with its nine-to-six schedule and its habit of taking holidays.
As the skill introduction stated, by flipping through the [Book of Wealth] every day, he could get a piece of gold; there were no holiday restrictions.
This meant he could conjure up over 400,000 yuan out of thin air every month!
"No wonder they say knowledge is wealth!"
