462: Photos really shouldn't be posted randomly.
After leaving Poyun Group, Ye Su had nothing else to do.
Just then, the courier called to say that the computers he ordered yesterday had arrived.
Ye Su had set the delivery address to that temporarily vacant apartment in Xingyue Community. He drove there first, signed for the five computers, and then returned to the Apartment Complex to rest.
"Ah, that feels good—"
After running around all morning, it was already past three in the afternoon by the time he sat back down in the recliner in the living room.
Ye Su groaned in comfort, then took out his phone to confirm the office renovation matters with Su Yingxuan.
At the same time, he told his three roommates that five computers had been placed at the Xingyue Community apartment for the future media company. They could use them if they wanted to, and check if there were any quality issues with the computers while they were at it.
After finishing the few official tasks, Ye Su opened the system and switched to the Mysterious Surprise Item page.
[Mysterious Surprise Item - Upgrade Voucher X1 (Unused)]
"I almost forgot about you."
At noon, while having lunch with Ye Kaijun at the Yutangchunnuan restaurant in the White Swan Hotel, he had unexpectedly completed a hidden task and received a Mysterious Surprise Item upgrade voucher.
Afterwards, because he had to take Ye Kaijun home after lunch and then rushed off to find Li Mengyao, Ye Su had almost forgotten that he still had an unused upgrade voucher.
"Use [Mysterious Surprise Item - Upgrade Voucher]!"
[Use successful. Now drawing a [Mysterious Surprise Item] for the Host to upgrade!]
The system screen shifted, and the large turntable familiar to Ye Su appeared, displaying all the Mysterious Surprise Items he owned.
*Whoosh—*
As the sound effect played, the turntable began to spin rapidly.
Ye Su watched with expectant eyes as the turntable went from slow to fast, then from fast to slow, finally coming to a slow stop on the [Book of Wealth] slot.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully winning the [Mysterious Surprise Item - Book of Wealth] upgrade reward. Now upgrading the [Book of Wealth] for the Host, please wait a moment...]
"Winning the [Book of Wealth], not bad."
The current [Book of Wealth] could produce 20 grams of gold every day.
Based on the current gold price, that was a daily profit of about 16,000.
"As long as the daily profit can double, it's not a loss."
[Upgrade successful!]
Under Ye Su's expectant gaze, the system interface finally popped up a notification that the Mysterious Surprise Item upgrade was successful.
[[A House of Gold Can Be Found in Books] skill effect upgraded. The first time the Host opens the [Book of Wealth] each day, they can obtain two pieces of 20-gram gold!]
"It really is a doubled reward!"
He hadn't used the [A House of Gold Can Be Found in Books] skill today yet. Excitedly, Ye Su took the [Book of Wealth] out of his system space and flipped to a random page in the middle.
With a flash of light, two gold nuggets the size of a thumb's fingernail appeared on the opened pages.
"Another 40 grams of gold in hand!"
Picking up the two pieces of gold and putting the [Book of Wealth] back into the system space, Ye Su switched to the [System Gold Shop] interface:
[Today's buyback gold price: 772 yuan/gram!]
"At 772 yuan per gram, these two pieces of gold can sell for about 30,000, that's alright."
Not knowing if the gold price would rise or fall in the future, and since Ye Su wasn't short on money, he simply treated these small gold nuggets as an investment and stored them all in his system space.
[storage space two: Book of Wealth (one copy), gold (500 grams)!]
"Already stored half a kilogram of gold, not bad." Ye Su was quite satisfied with this number:
"Now the [Book of Wealth] can produce 40 grams of gold a day. In a month, I can save over a kilogram. The speed has doubled!"
After closing the system, Ye Su had nothing to do, so he comfortably rocked the recliner while boredly refreshing short videos.
He had originally thought that this boring time would last until Chen Xinyi and Yan Ran came home.
Unexpectedly, at past four o'clock, Ye Su received a message from Chen Qi.
[Chen Qi: dude, what are you doing?]
Ye Su raised his phone, took a photo of the floor-to-ceiling window, and sent it to Chen Qi:
[Being a couch potato, sunbathing.]
[Chen Qi: Holy crap, a river-view room!]
[Chen Qi: That's awesome, brother!]
[Chen Qi: Looking at the direction, could that be the Apartment Complex!]
After reading the three messages Chen Qi sent in rapid succession, Ye Su was also taken aback.
"Holy crap, no way, you recognized where I live from just one photo!"
While browsing the internet before, Ye Su had come across some expert advice warning not to casually send photos of the area around one's house, as doing so could potentially leak one's privacy.
At the time, seeing the word [expert], Ye Su hadn't taken it seriously.
He hadn't expected that, in a turn of events, he would encounter someone who guessed where he was living now through a single photo.
"It seems you really can't just send photos randomly."
While reminding himself to be careful, Ye Su replied to Chen Qi.
[What's so awesome about it? I didn't buy this house.]
[Chen Qi: Damn, I thought in the few days I haven't seen you, you'd bought a house in the Apartment Complex.]
It was no wonder Chen Qi was so surprised after discovering Ye Su was living in the Apartment Complex.
The Yue Cheng Second-hand Car Dealership he managed, plus his father's other businesses, meant his family's total assets were nearly 200 million.
In Yangcheng, he could at least be considered a young rich heir.
But even with such a family, Chen Qi had never thought his family could buy an apartment in the Apartment Complex.
Let alone buy, even renting.
Just thinking about the monthly rent of over a hundred thousand made Chen Qi feel a pang of pain.
Therefore, upon hearing that Ye Su didn't buy the house, Chen Qi found it reasonable.
He assumed that last week, when Ye Su successfully claimed compensation from the Chilun 4S Dealership and got millions for free, he had gotten carried away and rented an apartment in the Apartment Complex.
[Chen Qi: How big is your apartment, and how much is the monthly rent?]
[I don't know either. This house is one a friend let me stay in temporarily.]
[Chen Qi: Damn, what kind of friend has that kind of strength? A house worth tens of millions, just letting you stay in it like that!]
[Chen Qi: Why haven't I ever met a friend like that!]
[What do you mean? Are you taking a jab at me?]
Facing Ye Su's teasing, Chen Qi replied with a [smirk] meme, and didn't continue to dwell on this topic, lest Ye Su think he was prying into his privacy.
[Was there anything you needed when you messaged me just now?]
[Chen Qi: Nothing much. Yuanliang, Mingjun, and I are meeting for dinner tonight, and I wanted to see if you were free and if you wanted to join us.]
"Dinner together?"
All of today's business was finished.
Ye Su thought about it; they were kind enough to invite him to dinner, and it really wouldn't be good to refuse.
[Sure.]
[What time, and where?]
[Chen Qi: We agreed on 6 PM at the Regent Hotel.]
[Okay, see you later.]
After agreeing on the time and location, Ye Su finally messaged the group to let the two at home know that he wouldn't be eating at home tonight.
[Chen Xinyi: Everything was fine, and suddenly you say you're not eating at home. Could it be you're going to go ruin another woman's life again?]
[Sister Ran: What is it? Are you going to go sing a duet with that eldest miss of the Li family?]
