99: This is another price!

"How did the sale go? Was it 120,000?"

As soon as Ye Su stepped through the door, Chen Xinyi came bounding over to greet him.

"There was a bit of a surprise. It wasn't 120,000."

"Huh?"

"It sold for 20,000 more."

"Yes!" Chen Xinyi's eyes lit up with joy, and she jumped up and down excitedly. "Doesn't that mean I get a 28,000 cut!"

Seeing her money-grubbing look, Ye Su couldn't even be bothered to tell Chen Xinyi to stay calm.

However, Ye Su didn't see any issue with Chen Xinyi unabashedly showing her love for money.

Not to mention ordinary people, even those wealthy individuals with net worths over a hundred million—how many of them wouldn't like money?

If someone said to Ye Su, "I have no interest in money," Ye Su would have to suspect they were possessed by a ghost.

If they weren't possessed, how could they possibly say something like that?

After jumping around excitedly for a while and stopping before the downstairs neighbors could complain, Chen Xinyi reached out her right hand to Ye Su. "Pay up, 28,000."

"What's the rush? You act like you're afraid I'll run away."

Ye Su grumbled, but he still transferred the 28,000 to Chen Xinyi promptly and cleanly.

Chen Xinyi accepted the payment instantly. "Making 28,000 a day, laughing happily every day."

"Pfft—" Ye Su was amused by Chen Xinyi's antics.

"Alright, I'm not paying you back that fifty yuan you gave the scrapyard owner."

"Fair enough."

After changing into his slippers, Ye Su had just started walking into the room when Chen Xinyi suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck.

Chen Xinyi was 1.67 meters tall, thirteen centimeters shorter than Ye Su; this hug made her look like a big doll hanging off him.

"I won't ask you for that fifty yuan anymore, just pay me back with your body instead."

Ye Su shoved Chen Xinyi away. "That's an extra charge!"

"An extra charge, huh?"

After being pushed away, Chen Xinyi was persistent, hooking her index finger under Ye Su's chin again.

"Big sister just made 28,000. Give me an 'extra charge' quote, and I'll buy you seven times tonight."

Chen Xinyi was just talking big.

Ye Su knew exactly what she was capable of.

Pushing down Chen Xinyi's hand, Ye Su tapped her on the nose with his index finger.

"Woman, do you know that your current behavior counts as sexual harassment? Do you know how long you'd have to serve for sexual harassment?"

Chen Xinyi bumped into him with her chest. "Then how long do you want me to serve tonight?"

Unbelievable!

Looking at the woman who was pushing her luck, Ye Su felt it was necessary to teach her a lesson and let her know who was in charge here.

"Then I'll see how long you can serve!"

Catching her off guard, Ye Su grabbed the woman who was pressing against him. Amidst Chen Xinyi's startled cries, he took a few quick strides to the bed, tossed her onto it, and then the two of them wrestled into a ball.

The final result was Chen Xinyi rubbing the sore spots she'd been hit, glaring at Ye Su with lingering resentment.

They had played and messed around enough.

Before dinner, the two continued packing, trying their best to ensure they could move into the apartment tomorrow so they could live a bit more spaciously.

After tasting the thrill of making a killing of 28,000 in one day, Chen Xinyi waved her hand grandly in the evening, ordering a pricey takeout meal costing over 500 yuan, and bought a bottle of red wine, enjoying a somewhat romantic dinner with Ye Su in the apartment.

After going for a walk, taking a shower, and it was time for bed, there's no need to say what happened next.

The morning's battle didn't affect the two young people's state in the slightest.

After it was all over, Ye Su [coaxed] Chen Xinyi to sleep, and then waited for the intelligence to refresh at midnight.

[Time until next intelligence refresh: 00:00:15. Please wait patiently, Host!]

With only ten seconds left, Ye Su started grumbling:

"Brother System, you saw it too, this woman is truly insatiable, like a hungry wolf or tiger. Just give your brother another [hidden easter egg] and add some Physique. I really, truly want a good Physique!"

[Ding!]

[Today's Intelligence (Level 2): At 10:00 AM today, there will be an impromptu suitcase auction held at the abandoned construction site in Guangxiu.

Among the suitcases being auctioned, one contains an old-fashioned clock, and inside the clock is a non-heated ruby.

The clock is in working order, with a second-hand market price of around 5,000 yuan, and the market price for the ruby is around 70,000 yuan.

Note: Host can open the intelligence details to view detailed information about the auction.]

[hidden easter egg (Attribute Reward): Upon successfully obtaining the ruby, the Host can receive a reward of two points of [Physique].]

"It actually triggered the [hidden easter egg] for a [Physique] reward!" Ye Su's face lit up. "As expected, sincerity is all it takes!"

After giving a thumbs up to the loyal Brother System, Ye Su began to check today's intelligence.

"Suitcase auctions, are there really such events?"

Following the system prompt, Ye Su opened the intelligence details.

"Admission ticket is 300, which can be deducted from auction costs. If you do not participate in the auction, the admission fee will not be refunded."

"Follow the rules: only cash transactions are supported. Each bid cannot exceed the cash on hand. No photos allowed. Do not ask about the source of the suitcases. Once the transaction is complete, the organizers are not responsible for any subsequent matters."

"So many rules?"

Ye Su took out his phone and searched online, but he couldn't find any such auction events in Yangcheng.

"No wonder the system provided details this time; it turns out you can't find relevant information online."

Knowing there were so many rules for the auction and that no information could be found online, Ye Su guessed that the suitcases being auctioned definitely didn't have the most legitimate origins. They were likely mostly items abandoned by their original owners in storage warehouses or other places for various reasons.

"Since it only takes cash, I'll have to go to an ATM to withdraw money tomorrow. It's best to withdraw a bit more to avoid running short."

After confirming the intelligence content, Ye Su spent 99 yuan on himself and had a wonderful sleep.

After experiencing the effects of the [Sleep Aid Service], Ye Su was now addicted to this skill. Whether he could fall asleep at night or not, he had to add a [Sleep Aid Service] for himself.

By this calculation, Ye Su had to spend 3,000 yuan just on sleeping every month, which was more expensive than his rent.

Adding in Chen Xinyi's extra expenses, this expenditure was almost more than the monthly salary of many working people.

...

The next morning, Chen Xinyi woke up feeling refreshed, without the slightest hint of fatigue left over from last night's battle.

At this moment, she couldn't tell if her sleep quality was so good because of the sense of security brought by the man beside her, or if [aerobic exercise] really did promote sleep.

Consequently, from getting up to eating breakfast, Chen Xinyi's gaze remained fixed on Ye Su, trying to find the reason why she slept so well.

Feeling creeped out by being stared at, Ye Su could only ask: "What are you looking at? Is there a flower on my face?"

"No flower." Chen Xinyi rested her chin on one hand. "But looking at you like this is quite easy on the eyes."

Ye Su cupped his hands in a salute. "Likewise."

After joking around, Ye Su told Chen Xinyi: "I have something to do in a while and need to go out. I probably won't be back until noon."

"Alright."

Chen Xinyi was a smart person and didn't press Ye Su on where he was going.
