364: It’s a pleasure to spend the money that comes from the wind!

Ye Su certainly wouldn't go back on his word.

The only reason he hid in the guest bedroom and locked the door was to completely block the view of the two people outside.

"Open [System Gold Shop]!"

Ye Su naturally hadn't prepared any gifts in advance, but fortunately, the system had unlocked the [System Gold Shop] for him.

Combined with the two hundred million in his [Love Fund] now, it was easy for Ye Su to conjure up gifts for the two of them.

Ye Su hadn't prepared any blueprints beforehand,

so after the [System Gold Shop] interface popped up, he directly opened the list of design blueprints provided by the shop.

"Open the [Luxury Gold Jewelry] category, and sort the prices from high to low."

The page redirected again, and the top item was [Luxury Gold Jewelry Series—Top Craftsmanship Customization].

The things sold by the system had always been worth every penny, with no cheap gimmicks. Ye Su wasn't afraid of being scammed, so he directly opened the description for the [Luxury Gold Jewelry Series—Top Craftsmanship Customization].

With just one look, Ye Su knew that this luxury gold jewelry set was definitely not cheap.

"Using the [Yanjing Eight Exquisite Crafts: Filigree Inlay] technique, 0.08mm fine gold wires are woven into a phoenix-shaped [Harmonious Phoenixes] bracelet.

The phoenix crown is inlaid with pear-shaped diamonds, and the phoenix eyes are set with two unheated pigeon's blood rubies.

Even the empty spaces on the bracelet's body are filled with enamel colors, presenting a color scheme of imperial blue and carmine."

"The [Twin Lotuses Share One Heart] necklace, made using the lost-wax gold casting technique, starts with carving a wax model of twin lotuses, leaving a gemstone groove in the hollow of the lotus heart.

After that, it is cast in gold, and two unheated royal blue sapphires are inlaid in the lotus heart."

"The [Eternal Starry Sky Knot] ring, crafted using the mystery setting technique, requires no prongs or visible settings on the surface, embedding 3 pink diamonds, 3 blue diamonds, and 6 yellow diamonds into the ring."

"The [Phoenix Holding a Branch] earrings, made with cloisonné enamel and pearl borders."

"The [Eternal Phoenix] pendant, made with the gold-inlaid jade technique, is also set with a star sapphire and a small piece of Hetian seed jade."

Looking at this set, even Ye Su, who had never had any interest in jewelry, felt that it was an indisputable work of art.

Of course, such a work of art also meant that the price was definitely not cheap.

[Luxury Gold Jewelry Series—Top Craftsmanship Customization]

[Required Materials: 210g of 24K pure gold, 30g of platinum, 40g of 18K rose gold, 18g of Hetian seed jade, 2 South Sea black pearls...]

[Required Materials Cost: 3,535,900 RMB in total]

[Techniques Used: Yanjing Eight Exquisite Crafts: Filigree Inlay, lost-wax gold casting, wire drawing and forging, mystery setting, cloisonné enamel, gold-inlaid jade, Su-style micro-carving...]

[Required Craftsmanship Cost: 4,000,000 RMB in total]

[Materials and Craftsmanship Cost: 7,535,900 RMB in total]

"Over seven million for just one set, and the processing fee is even more expensive than the materials!"

Even Ye Su winced slightly at this price.

If he didn't have the two hundred million in [Love Funds], there was no way in hell he would even look at these things.

"If the system is selling it for over seven million, the price would probably double if it were from those luxury jewelry brands, right?"

The system's pricing didn't need to account for the wastage of materials like Hetian seed jade and rubies, so the price was naturally much cheaper.

In addition, there was no need to calculate brand marketing, time costs, and profit margins into it, making the price significantly cheaper.

If it were those luxury brands, by getting internationally renowned jewelry design masters to endorse it, combined with various marketing tricks, the price of this jewelry set could easily double or triple in minutes!

If he weren't afraid of drawing too much attention and bringing unexpected trouble, Ye Su would have wanted to see if he could cooperate with those jewelry design masters to harvest the jewelry merchants and consumers like chives.

"Doing this kind of thing too little won't make much money, and doing it too much will expose me. Better forget it."

Temporarily setting that thought aside, Ye Su issued the purchase command to the system:

"Use [Love Funds] to purchase two sets of [Luxury Gold Jewelry Series—Top Craftsmanship Customization]!"

[Purchase successful!]

"Spending 15 million in one go feels absolutely amazing!"

With a flash of azure light, four red boxes—two large and two small—appeared out of thin air on the computer desk.

"They even come with packaging boxes. I thought I'd have to wrap them in two pieces of cloth."

Ye Su opened one large and one small box. The small box contained the bracelet and pendant, while the large box contained the necklace, ring, and a pair of earrings.

Unlike the traditional five gold items prepared for weddings, where the bracelets are a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, the set sold by the system only had a single bracelet.

After opening the other set of boxes and confirming that there were no issues with the items sold by the system, Ye Su carefully admired them:

"If it's jewelry like this, selling it to me for seven or eight million a set is actually quite acceptable!"

[This expenditure from the [exclusive love account] is 15,071,800 RMB, with a remaining balance of 184,928,200 RMB]

[Warning: All items purchased this time can only be gifted to individuals already bound to the [exclusive love account]. Otherwise, all funds used will be fully recovered. Please be advised, Host!]

Ye Su didn't care much about the system's warning. After all, besides Chen Xinyi and Yan Ran, he had no other partners to give gifts to anyway.

Fearing that the two outside would get impatient and break down the door, Ye Su admired the jewelry for a moment longer before closing the four boxes and opening the bedroom door.

Seeing Ye Su walk arrogantly out of the room like the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, carrying four boxes in his hands, the two who were eagerly waiting were immediately drawn to the items in his hands.

"Ahem—"

Seeing that the two of them lacked situational awareness, Ye Su could only cough twice, waving his free hand left and right to signal them to clear the middle spot for him.

Out of anticipation for the boxes in Ye Su's hands, Yan Ran and Chen Xinyi chose to tolerate him this time, each moving to the side to make room for him in the middle.

Ye Su see this and sat down between them with satisfaction.

Without keeping them in suspense any longer, Ye Su distributed the four boxes to the two of them after sitting down:

"One for you, one for you, one for you, and one for you."

With two boxes handed to each side, jewelry worth fifteen million was casually given away by Ye Su.

Taking the boxes handed over by Ye Su, Chen Xinyi and Yan Ran opened them with great anticipation.

"Wow!!"

Opening the small boxes first in unspoken agreement, Chen Xinyi's mouth fell wide open the moment she saw the dazzling, luxurious, and exquisitely crafted bracelet and pendant inside.

Even Yan Ran, who owned plenty of luxury jewelry, had a strange gleam in her eyes when she saw the two items in the box.

Setting aside the inlaid gems and jade, just the craftsmanship used in these two pieces of jewelry was rarely matched even at the major jewelry exhibitions she had attended!

From the craftsmanship of the two pieces of jewelry, Yan Ran could also tell that the gemstones and jade set upon them were definitely not cheap either.

Just taking either one of these two pieces of jewelry, it would be far more expensive than the watch she had gifted Ye Su last week!

This man was simply too good at preparing surprises!

She wondered what kind of gift was in the other box.

Could it be the matching counterpart to these two pieces of jewelry?

Yan Ran's gaze fell once again onto the large box resting on her lap.
