95: Expensive toys

While indulging in some hands-on fun, he cast a [Sleep Aid Service] on Chen Xinyi.

Watching Chen Xinyi gradually drift into deep sleep, Ye Su finally opened the system.

[Today's Intelligence (Level 2): Among the scrap collected yesterday at the Funing Street waste recycling station, there is a 1984 US version G1 Optimus Prime toy (only unboxed, unassembled, all accessories included, stickers unapplied). Its current second-hand market price is around 120,000.]

[Note: After the original collector unexpectedly passed away, this optimus prime toy changed hands several times before finally being treated as scrap by someone unaware of its value. The Host can acquire it with peace of mind.]

"Why isn't there a [hidden easter egg]?"

After triggering the [hidden easter egg] for the first time and gaining one point in [Physique], Ye Su always felt his Physique was noticeably better than before, though he didn't know if it was just psychological or if it was truly effective.

This kept him thinking about it, always wanting to trigger another attribute reward and increase his [Physique] by a few more points to help him verify whether it was just psychological or if the [Attribute Reward] was truly effective.

Now, seeing the refreshed intelligence, not only was there no [Intelligence Reward] triggered, but even the [Attribute Reward] wasn't given, leaving Ye Su instantly disappointed.

But immediately after, he saw the amount marked on the intelligence.

"120,000!"

He thought that after two months, he would be calm enough, but seeing a six-figure sum again, Ye Su still breathed heavily, lacking composure.

"Ye Su, can you have a bit more composure?"

"It's just 120,000, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

Taking a few deep breaths, Ye Su returned to calm and carefully examined today's intelligence.

Ye Su still remembered that the last time he refreshed something that could directly yield a 120,000 profit was Lin Hongyuan's sandwich painting.

However, to obtain that sandwich painting, he had to rely on the help of a previous Level 1 intelligence, which made Lin Hongyuan fear his secrets would be exposed, causing him to fall out with the female college student, and ultimately forcing him to take out the painting for sale.

After getting the sandwich painting, he had to rely on Wan Bowen's connections to find a master mounter with superb skills, and after several twists and turns, he finally earned that 110,000.

Now another Level 2 intelligence worth 120,000 has appeared. Based on Ye Su's experience, wanting to get this money would definitely be much harder than picking up a lottery ticket last night.

"A 1984 US version G1 Optimus Prime, can a toy really be hyped up to over 100,000?"

Ye Su knew that some toys really hold their value well and are even treated as financial products by many, but he didn't expect that one day he would come into contact with such things.

"It's at a waste recycling station again. Is everything being sold to scrap yards now?"

Ye Su checked the intelligence and found that, other than the toy being sold to the waste recycling station, there was no difficulty in acquiring it.

As for buying things at waste recycling stations, Ye Su was now quite familiar with the process. Tomorrow, he could just make up a story, and the Transformer would be as good as his.

"Wait, the Funing Street waste recycling station, why does it look familiar?"

Ye Su suddenly remembered the intelligence from last week that also involved a waste recycling station, and hurriedly opened the system's intelligence history.

"Holy crap, it really is that scrap yard!"

Ye Su finally understood where the difficulty in acquiring this intelligence lay.

It turned out that the Funing Street waste recycling station was the same one where he had retrieved the Poyun Group documents last time!

In order to get those documents back, Ye Su had fallen out with the owner of the scrap yard and was even extorted for 1,000 yuan.

The two sides already had bad blood; wanting to trick the owner into handing over the Transformer this time would obviously not be that easy.

"Damn, this owner really knows how to collect things. When he collects, it's either someone else's corporate documents or toys that are hyped up to the sky!"

"Mmm—"

Just then, Chen Xinyi beside him suddenly twisted, and an unconscious moan escaped her lips, instantly diverting Ye Su's attention.

"That's right, if I can't do it, isn't there still her!"

Ye Su's eyes lit up, and he set his sights on Chen Xinyi again.

"Tomorrow will be up to you."

Suddenly enlightened, Ye Su chuckled, kissed Chen Xinyi on the face, then lay back down and cast a [Sleep Aid Service] on himself as well.

...

As expected, the two of them felt refreshed when they woke up the next day.

Chen Xinyi was also puzzled as to why her sleep quality had been so good these past two days.

After thinking about it to no avail, Chen Xinyi could only attribute it to Ye Su sleeping beside her, which made her feel at ease and sleep a little better.

After breakfast, Chen Xinyi wanted to continue tidying up the house, but was stopped by Ye Su:

"Forget about that for now, I'm taking you out today."

Naturally, Chen Xinyi didn't want to stay cooped up at home for the May Day holiday. Hearing Ye Su say they were going out, her eyes lit up: "Young Master, where are you taking me to play?"

"To the waste recycling station."

"Annoying." Chen Xinyi pouted: "Can't you be more serious?"

"I'm not joking, I really am taking you to the waste recycling station."

"Ah!" Chen Xinyi opened her mouth, staring blankly at Ye Su: "Are you for real?"

Ye Su nodded affirmatively again: "Really."

"Big Brother..." Chen Xinyi racked her brains but couldn't figure out what kind of stunt Ye Su was pulling again: "Why take me to a waste recycling station? To collect scrap?"

"You're quite smart." Ye Su snapped his fingers: "I just want you to go collect scrap."

Chen Xinyi suspected that Ye Su was pulling her leg again.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Seeing Chen Xinyi's suspicious face, Ye Su briefly explained what they were going to do.

"Go buy a Transformer toy that someone treated as scrap?"

"Yes."

"If you want a Transformer, can't you just buy one online? Why go to all this trouble to pick one up at a scrap yard?"

"That toy can't be bought anywhere else."

"If it can't be bought anywhere else, is it valuable?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinyi's eyes lit up: "How much is it worth?"

Ye Su kept his lips sealed: "It's worth quite a bit. So, will you help or not?"

"Help, of course I'll help!" Chen Xinyi asked excitedly: "Then if I help you buy it back, how will you thank me?"

"After reselling it, I'll give you 20% of the profit."

"Tch, only 20%."

In Chen Xinyi's view, no matter how valuable a Transformer toy was, at most it would only be a few thousand yuan.

Giving her 20% would only be a few hundred yuan; that's so boring.

"What's wrong, think it's too little?" Ye Su made another offer: "How about this: if you buy the toy back, I'll give you a 3,000 yuan convenience fee directly, how about that?"

"3,000 yuan, that's a different story."

Chen Xinyi was just about to agree, but she saw the serious expression on Ye Su's face.

Now she knew Ye Su inside and out in every sense, and she knew that the more serious Ye Su appeared on the surface, the more problematic things actually were.

Could it be that 20% of the money the Transformer sells for is actually more than 3,000 yuan?

He was trying to trick her again.

Chen Xinyi suddenly understood everything and decisively rejected the second proposal: "Forget the 3,000 yuan, just give me the 20%."

Now it was Ye Su's turn to be surprised: "Are you sure?"

Ye Su's reaction made Chen Xinyi even more certain of her guess: "Yes."
