Chapter 21: Game Update, Fate Necklace with Explosive Attributes
After discussing with Ye Feng, Xia Shiyu went to pay the hospital bills with her bank card. The nurse, noticing someone making a payment for Xia Junming, glanced at Xia Shiyu involuntarily.
“Nurse, can my dad start dialysis now?”
The nurse nodded, “As long as the payment is made, he can start.” But I must remind you, it's already late for dialysis. Kidney transplantation must happen quickly. If you miss the optimal time, it might be too late.”
“Ah!! How long can it be delayed? ”
“I can't say for sure because I'm not a doctor. But probably a month or so, it won’t be possible after that.”
“Oh!!”
Confidently, Ye Feng interjected, “Xiaoyu, don't worry. I'm sure I can help you raise the money within a month.”
Xia Shiyu nodded, but there was not much trust in her eyes. She felt like a drowning child, grabbing anything around her.
Seeing her skepticism, Ye Feng didn't say more. He thought actions spoke louder than words, and once the facts are in front of her, there would be no need to talk about whether she believed it or not.
“Xiaoyu, is the hospital bill paid?”Turning around, Xia Shiyu saw Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan. Su Lin had two fruit baskets in his hand and Lin Xiaowan had a bouquet of flowers in her hand. The two looked like a perfect couple, making Xia Shiyu somewhat envious.
“Xiaowan, I told you not to buy fruit. Why did you buy so much?”
“You should ask Su Lin. We agreed that I would pick them, but this guy kept adding one after another, and in the end, we bought two baskets.”
“Hehe, thank Su Lin.”
Su Lin waved his hand, “These fruits are suitable for uremic patients. Xiaoyu, when you go back, make something for Uncle Xia, preferably as a liquid.”
“Mm~!!”
“Alright, let's not stand here. Let's go see Uncle Xia.”
“Okay~!!”
Ye Feng, observing that Xia Shiyu hadn't mentioned him borrowing money or making money to Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan, felt content. 'Despite your good relationship, can it surpass childhood friends?' He said inwardly.
Ye Feng felt that as a reborn person, it would be quite easy for him to get 300,000 with his memories from his previous life.
The group of four headed straight to the inpatient department. Seeing Ye Feng's confident appearance, Su Lin couldn't help but find it amusing.
'In less than three days, this guy would be crying.'
……….
Night came after three days passed. Su Lin once again found Chen Yang and informed him to raise the purchase price of the Fate Necklaces to 600. As long as someone was selling, he would buy.
At this point, Chen Yang is no longer cared about Su Lin's intentions. He just followed Su Lin's instructions.
That night, he was surprised to find that there were other buyers in the game, and their prices were higher than his. He was buying them for six hundred, while Ye Feng was buying them for seven hundred.
[Yifeng Love Letter]: Necklaces of Fate for the entire server, 700 Yuan for one necklace. I'll buy as many as you have. Transaction on the platform. Reputation guaranteed. [Yifeng Love Letter]: Necklaces of Fate for the entire server, 700 RMB for one necklace. I'll buy as many as you have. Transaction on the platform. Reputation guaranteed.……..
Su Lin was at home playing the game again. Unlike Chen Yang, Su Lin could play the game at home, not needing to go to an Internet cafe.
“Yifeng Love Letter, Ye Feng's name is really cool. Tsk tsk…”
[Zi Yang Merchant] PM: “Brother Lin, someone is trying to steal our business. 700 RMB for one necklace. Do we still need to raise the price?” [Shuangmu Lin] PM: “No need, Yangzi. Let him buy. We just need to stabilize the price at 600 RMB. Let him keep the price at 700 RMB.” [Zi Yang Merchant] PM: “Brother Lin, are you saying that we should stop buying and raise our price to compete with him?” [Shuangmu Lin] PM: “That's right. We've already bought enough necklaces, so we need to leave some for others.” [Zi Yang Merchant] sent a private message: “Alright, Brother Lin. I understand.”Yang Chen didn't understand what Su Lin was thinking, but he still chose to do as Su Lin said.
At this moment, Ye Feng's heart was bleeding. If he didn't know that the price of Necklaces of Fate in his previous life had risen to five or six thousand Yuan, he wouldn't have been able to bring himself to buy them for 700 Yuan.
“Stupid Zi Yang Merchant. Why didn't you just buy them for 500 Yuan? Why did you have to raise the price to compete with me? Look at what happened, I can’t even make any money.”
Because Yang Chen had been raising the price of Necklaces of Fate, the black market merchants in the game had sensed a business opportunity. Although they didn't know why the price of Necklaces of Fate had risen, it didn't stop them from buying.
Hence, when Ye Feng went online, there were already people buying the necklaces. He didn't care because only he knew that the price of the necklaces would increase by many times. However, he didn't know the initial price. He could tell that most of these merchants were hoarders.
New maps and world bosses were about to be released, so the price of the equipment would definitely increase. Especially when new maps and world bosses are released, the prices of equipment's would increase exponentially.
………………
Three days passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the update of City of Angels.
Ye Feng didn't pay much attention to the game update but devoted more time to studying. After his rebirth, he found that his memory had significantly improved. He only needed to read a book three or four times to remember it firmly which gave him a glimmer of hope.
He felt that, perhaps, with some effort, he could get into a good university in this life. Dreaming further, he imagined attending university with Xia Shiyu, Lin Xiaowan, and others. Hence, he didn't spend any time on the game.
The version update concluded, and at eight in the evening, the first world boss respawned.
Su Lin controlled his character to enter the battlefield with very average equipment, except for the special Fate Necklace in his necklace slot. Following the order from the guild, hundreds of players entered the battlefield.
With an order from the guild, a few hundred players controlled their characters to enter the battlefield. Su Lin's character was a Swordsman. Because of his trash equipment, he was a cannon fodder character.
However, he didn't mind at all. Controlling his character, he charged straight into the battle and unleashed an AOE skill.
An AOE skill was unleashed.
-1424….-1475….-1452
[Splash] -1434… [Splash] -2547… [Splash] -4527… [Skill interrupted, Splash effect reset].Everyone in the guild was stunned when they saw the bright red numbers continuously increasing.
“F*ck... Double Wood Lin must be cheating, this is too fierce. The damage numbers are over ten thousand!”
“That's crazy. The splash damage is over ten thousand. That's fake.”
“Fake, fake. Even with top-tier equipment, I only deal six thousand damage.”
Seeing this, Su Lin typed in the guild channel, “I'm not cheating; it’s just the additional damage from the Fate Necklace.”
“Stop joking. The additional damage from the Necklaces of Fate is a fixed percentage damage. How can it be over ten thousand?”
“Take a closer look!!” Someone opened the Fate Necklace's attributes and carefully examined them.
“Damn... The fixed damage is gone.”
The entire guild channel fell silent in an instant. The damage had changed from fixed to growth.
Su Lin, with his rubbish equipment, could deal over two thousand. If he had top-tier gear and combined it with a Fate Necklace, wouldn't a single AOE hit for several hundred thousand? Moreover, the Splash effect could stack infinitely.
As long as the skill wasn't interrupted, the damage would continue to stack. Seeing that the effect of the Necklaces of Fate was discovered a few days earlier than in the original novel, Su Lin smiled.
