Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 2 :  Su Lin’s strategy, suppressing Ye Feng?

Su Lin remembered that Ye Feng’s first bucket of gold was hoarding a piece of equipment called [Necklace of Fate] in the game [City of Angels].

[Necklace of Fate] wasn’t worth much. Before the update, it was only 50 Yuan. However, a few days later, when the game was updated, people suddenly discovered a bug in the splash damage of [Necklace of Fate].

The damage could be stacked infinitely. As long as one person in the team had this necklace, they would be able to clear the latest world boss dungeon.

Instantly, [Necklace of Fate] became a hot commodity. Its price increased from 200 Yuan to a peak of over 6000 Yuan. This continued until the game developers discovered the bug and patched it so that the splash damage could only be stacked five times. Only then did the price drop rapidly.

Ye Feng also took this opportunity to use the 50,000 Yuan donated by the school to buy [Necklace of Fate] and made a few million Yuan.

Now that Su Lin knew how Ye Feng made his first bucket of gold, he felt that it would be much easier to mess with him. His next step was to find someone to do something for him. Su Lin set his eyes on Chen Yang in the back row.

Chen Yang and Xia Shiyu were both poor students in class. Their parents died early, leaving only him, his old grandfather, and a ten-year-old little sister who is in the second year of middle school.

Other than his grandfather occasionally earning some money from farming, the rest of the family relied on subsidies to survive. Chen Yang usually gave people the impression that he was ruthless and bad-tempered. Su Lin knew that this was just a cover for himself.

In the original novel, Ye Feng borrowed 100 Yuan for Chen Yang’s little sister’s treatment and gained a super loyal henchman who did a lot of shady things for Ye Feng.

In the later period, even Chen Yang’s younger sister was not spared, and she was included in the harem.

After school, Ye Feng purposely slowed down. He knew that Chen Yang was always the last one to leave the classroom every day in order to get some leftovers from the cafeteria for his little sister.

Seeing that there was no one in the classroom, Chen Yang picked up his backpack and prepared to leave. As soon as he exited the classroom, he saw Su Lin leaning against the window.

Chen Yang frowned and didn’t say anything. Su Lin hated poor students like him and didn’t even want to talk. Even if he had something to say, it would be in an authoritative tone. Obviously, Su Lin wasn’t waiting for him here. As to why Su Lin was standing here, he wasn’t curious and didn’t want to know.

Chen Yang was about to leave when Su Lin shouted, “Chen Yang!”

Yang Chen turned around and looked at Su Lin with confusion. “Vice class monitor, what’s the matter?”

Su Lin nodded. “Let’s talk while we walk?”

Chen Yang hesitated for a second before nodding, and so the two went downstairs together.

“The college entrance examination is around the corner. Where do you want to go?”

Yang Chen shook his head and mocked, “University? Vice class monitor, are you making fun of me?”

Su Lin shook his head and looked at Chen Yang, then said, “Although I have never talked with you before, do you think I’m the kind of person who would easily mock my classmates?”

Chen Yang thought about what he said, and it made sense because, in his opinion, a proud person like Su Lin would not do such a boring thing.

Without waiting for him to speak, Su Lin continued, “Even though your grades are quite high, a single university won’t be a problem. I believe you know that studying is the only way out for people like you.”

Chen Yang said in a self-mocking tone, “Of course, I know it’s the only way out. But the tuition costs tens of thousands of yuan. My family’s situation…”

Su Lin patted Yang Chen’s shoulder and smiled, “I can give you a chance to go to college. Do you want it?”

Chen Yang looked at Su Lin doubtfully, with vigilance in his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Lin said arrogantly, “If it weren’t for your grades, do you think I would help you?”

“Well…”

Seeing Chen Yang’s look, Su Lin knew that this guy had misunderstood. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you do anything illegal. Have you played the City of Angels?”

Chen Yang nodded, “I used to work a part-time job at Feng Yifei’s house, and he took me to play a few times.”

Su Lin took out a stack of money and a bank card from his pocket and said, “That’s good. There is 200,000 yuan on this card. The password is six eighths. From today on, you help me collect a piece of equipment called the Necklace of Fate. Collect as much as you can. This 5,000 yuan is your reward. Do you want this job?”

Chen Yang didn’t take the money and the card immediately, instead, he asked, “Su Lin, aren’t you afraid that I will run away with this money? It’s more than 200,000 yuan.”

Su Lin smiled and said, “You didn’t do anything despicable, even when your family was in such a bad situation, and you haven’t given up your bottom line. It shows that your character is worthy of recognition.”

“As for running away, that’s even more impossible. You still have a grandpa and a little sister at home. I’ve heard that you even fought with gangsters outside of school for your little sister. If you’re really going to abandon them for 200,000, then I, Su Lin, have nothing to say.”

Chen Yang took the money and the card from Su Lin’s hand and said, “Vice class monitor, I will definitely do this for you.”

Su Lin nodded, he wasn’t worried about Chen Yang’s lack of ability to do the job at all. He smiled and said, “Don’t feel burdened, and don’t think that I am deliberately pitying you. Just think of it as a temporary job. You work for me, and I will pay you.”

“You can’t tell anyone about this, including your family. Everything has to be done in secret. Can you promise?”

Although Chen Yang didn’t understand why Su Lin asked him to do this, he knew that this was his only chance to go to college. He had to seize it.

“Su Lin, I won’t tell anyone, including my sister.”

“Alright, that’s all I need to hear. Next, I’ll tell you exactly how to operate it.”

“Class monitor, the cafeteria is about to close. I want to get some food before I leave.”

Su Lin laughed and scolded, “You have a few thousand yuan, and you still want to eat the cold food in the cafeteria? What? Anyway, you are working for me, Su Lin. How can I make you work when you’re hungry?”

“Well…”

Su Lin said seriously, “Sigh, in the period of time you work for me, you, your grandfather, and your sister’s food and drink costs will all be deducted from the card I gave you.”

Hearing this, Chen Yang hurriedly refused, “Class monitor, I can’t take this money. You have already helped me a lot.”

“You don’t want it? Do you think you have more money than me? Just take it.”

“Class monitor, thank you.”

Su Lin waved his hand, “Just do what I asked you to do. Let’s talk about business first…”
