488: Intelligence Update

After Su Yanxia finished speaking, she secretly hoped that Ye Su would say something like "It's free" or "I'll give you one."

Unfortunately, Ye Su lacked such social tact and replied "straightforwardly":

"This is sold by a friend at my shop. Because high-quality material like this is rare, I don't know if she still has any in stock. If you want to buy one, I can ask for you. If she doesn't have any ready-made ones in the shop, you can pay a deposit first, and I'll have her get the material from a jade merchant to make one for you."

"Haha."

Su Yanxia didn't actually want to buy it, or at least, she didn't want to pay for it with her own money.

Hearing Ye Su being so tactless by suggesting she pay a deposit, Su Yanxia gave an awkward smile and could only continue asking:

"I wonder how much one of these bracelets costs?"

Ye Su also didn't know how much Li Mengyao was selling this bracelet for in her shop, so he had to open the system and use the [Item Appraisal] function on the bracelet.

[Item Name: Ice-Jade Bracelet]

[Market Price: 580,000]

[...]

"She sells this bracelet in her shop for 600,000. If you want it, Aunt Xia, I'll see if I can get her to give you a discount and knock off ten or twenty thousand for you."

Ye Su told Su Yanxia the price of the bracelet truthfully, not to show off in front of so many people.

He was just worried that if he casually said it cost a few thousand, the people in the room would each pull out a few thousand later and ask him to help them get one.

By then, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.

"600,000!"

As expected, the few relatives in the room were so shocked by this number that their eyes popped wide open, and some even forgot to close their mouths.

Was a whole apartment in the county town just being worn on her wrist like that!

Su Wan had also just learned that the bracelet Ye Su gave her was actually so valuable.

Fearing it might get bumped or stolen if she wore it out, Su Wan had already made up her mind to hide the bracelet away later.

"One of these bracelets costs 600,000?"

Su Yanxia was half-doubting, and with a hint of jealousy, she asked sourly:

"ASu, you haven't been scammed by your friend, have you?"

Ye Su smiled calmly: "This is ice-jade. The material alone costs hundreds of thousands, so selling it for 600,000 is quite reasonable. If there were fewer cotton-like inclusions inside, it wouldn't be this price."

"Is that so..." Su Yanxia's smile stiffened, and her gaze toward the bracelet was filled only with envy and jealousy:

"Su Wan, you are truly blessed to have raised ASu to be so successful and yet so filial, bringing you such a valuable bracelet the moment he returned."

"That's right, with ASu being so capable, you two will just be waiting to enjoy your blessings from now on."

"I've said since he was little that ASu was a smart child and would definitely be extraordinary when he grew up. Look, I was right!"

Hearing Su Yanxia and the others showering Ye Su with endless praise, Ye Jianguo and Su Wan both felt very proud.

As for Ye Su, because he really couldn't stand the hypocritical flattery from these relatives, he found a random excuse and went out for a stroll.

Having been away from home for half a month, the county town hadn't changed at all; even the roadside barbecue stall was still in its old spot.

Ye Su wandered around outside and didn't return home until after nine o'clock.

He had originally thought that by this time, the relatives would have all gone home.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, he saw that the guests at home had been replaced by a new batch.

Only this time, it had changed from long-lost relatives to a few of Ye Jianguo and Su Wan's friends.

Fortunately, these people weren't like the previous relatives who, upon seeing that their family owed a large sum of money, were too scared to even visit during the New Year.

Therefore, Ye Su patiently exchanged a few pleasantries with them in the living room before making an excuse to take a shower and slipping upstairs.

After showering and returning to his room, Ye Su took out the [Lucky Dice] and, after randomly guessing five, threw it out.

This time, good luck still did not favor Ye Su.

After the dice rolled [round and round] for dozens of turns, it stopped on three, causing Ye Su to miss out on today's 550,000 intelligence earnings.

"Great, it's gone again."

Ye Su, feeling uninterested, casually put the dice back into the system space and flopped onto the bed to look at his phone.

When it was time to sleep at night, Ye Su first visualized the four family members in his mind, used the [Sleep Aid Service] on them, then applied the [Sleep Aid Service] on himself before covering himself with the quilt and falling into a deep sleep.

...

On Sunday, Ye Su didn't do much, just chatted aimlessly on his phone with Chen Xinyi and Yan Ran.

Besides that, he handled various matters for the self-media company and the upcoming Beef Hot Pot Restaurant.

He also discussed the development of the garment factory and the [Han Charm] clothing brand with Ye Jianguo and Ye Xin.

By the end of the day, life back home was quite fulfilling, so he wasn't bored from having nothing to do.

By 11:59 PM, Ye Su, lying on the bed, had already opened the system, waiting for next week's intelligence refresh.

[Time remaining until the next intelligence refresh: 00:00:03, please wait patiently, Host!]

Watching the countdown on the system screen, Ye Su began to count silently:

"2, 1!"

[Ding!]

"It's here!"

[This week's intelligence (Level 8): On the mountainside of Rongshu Mountain in Yang County, there is an achondrite meteorite weighing approximately 3,000 grams, with a market price of about 4,000 per gram!]

[hidden easter egg (function upgrade): After successfully obtaining the [Intelligence Item - meteorite], the Host can unlock the package function for [Sleep Aid Service], which includes weekly packages, monthly packages, yearly packages, and lifetime packages!]

"Beautiful!"

The first piece of intelligence refreshed was a Level 8 intelligence, and Ye Su excitedly clapped his hands together hard before continuing to check the intelligence.

"There's a meteorite on Rongshu Mountain, weighing 3,000 grams, worth 4,000 per gram..."

In that instant, Ye Su calculated the answer to this elementary school math problem:

"12,000,000!"

Recent expenses had been a bit high, and coupled with the 15 million invested in Yu Mingjun's company, Ye Su's balance had plummeted to 20 million.

Although he wouldn't run out of money for the time being, it didn't stop Ye Su from feeling uneasy, wanting to raise his balance back up as soon as possible.

With this 12 million, his savings could finally be raised again, returning to the 30 million bracket.

"Rongshu Mountain, right?"

As someone who grew up in Yang County, Ye Su wasn't too familiar with Rongshu Mountain, but he couldn't call it unfamiliar either.

Because there was Banyan Tree Nunnery on the mountainside of Rongshu Mountain, Ye Su had accompanied Su Wan to offer incense at the nunnery a few times when he was at home before.

It's just that Ye Su didn't know if it was because the mountain was called Rongshu Mountain that the nunnery on the mountainside was called Banyan Tree Nunnery.

Or if it was because Banyan Tree Nunnery was built on the mountainside that the mountain was renamed Rongshu Mountain.

"It should be this mountain, right?"

Just in case, Ye Su opened the navigation map on his phone and searched for [Rongshu Mountain], confirming that within the scope of Yang County, only the mountain with Banyan Tree Nunnery was called Rongshu Mountain.

"Alright, that's the one!"
