Chapter 167 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou opened his backpack and looked at the white item card inside. This time, the system notification had changed.
"Notification: Congratulations, Lin Leyou, you have obtained a random white-grade item card that can be upgraded! It requires 10,000 points to activate. Do you want to activate it?"
Activate with 10,000 points!
This kind of prompt doesn't exist in the Endless World!
Lin Leyou then came to his senses and noticed that this time the prompt was a little different; it was an item that could be upgraded!
In other words, in the future, equipment will grow to green, or even blue, or possibly purple, and eventually, it may even reach gold!
Before activating it, he asked the system, "After activation, can I use it directly in the Endless World and the real world without needing to pay points anymore?"
The system replied, "Not bad."
Lin Leyou then agreed, "Activate."
The system message reads, "Ten thousand points have been deducted for activation. Do you wish to use this item card?"
Lin Leyou: "Use."
"Notification: Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for obtaining the white-grade item Golden Sun (which can be upgraded)!"
"Jin Yang: White-grade equipment increases mental recovery speed by 1%!"
Lin Leyou's eyes widened immediately. It was a mental-type item! It was actually a mental-type item! Really?
"The system is just a mental tool, right?"
"Note: This is a spirit-type item! The growing Void will devour other items. Be careful, never feed it items of a lower level than itself!"
Lin Leyou stroked his chin, which means that when it is in white gear, it can be fed all kinds of items, but if it grows into green gear, then it absolutely cannot be fed white gear. If it becomes purple gear, then it can only be fed purple or gold gear items. If it grows into gold gear, then it can only be fed gold gear items!
What a waste of points!
Keep in mind that even the cheapest gold-tier item costs at least ten million points for a random gold-tier item card! However, spirit-type items are also very rare, and their value is definitely comparable to the gold-tier defensive items I obtained before.
Jin Yang picked up the prop lying in his palm. It was a shiny, light gold earring. He touched his ear and realized he didn't have a pierced ear!
He glanced out the window again. It was only a short while since it got dark. He decided to wait until daytime to get his ears pierced, since he would definitely need to wear this prop at all times!
Although it's just a basic item, it still has some effect on restoring one's mental and rational state, not to mention after growth.
Lin Leyou examined the earring from all angles, extremely satisfied, but he decided to go to sleep first! He was exhausted after working for so long.
Lin Leyou slept soundly until dawn, then went out for breakfast, found a shop to get her ears pierced, and put the earring on right there in the shop.
He looked at his light gold earring, hidden beneath a few strands of hair, which shimmered as he turned his head; it was actually quite pretty.
Upon seeing them, the shop owner praised them, saying, "These earrings of yours are really beautiful. They're unlike any I've seen in other stores before. They're even more beautiful than those earrings that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars."
Lin Leyou smiled and nodded, "Really? Thank you... I also thought it looked good and suited me well, so I bought it. It seems like it was a worthwhile purchase."
"Young man, where did you buy these? Tell me, I want to buy a pair for my daughter."
Lin Leyou shook his head, "It's probably impossible to buy it now. When I bought it, there was only one left. It's a single earring, not a pair. It's said that when this gemstone was first found, there was only this one, so it was made into an earring."
The shop owner exclaimed in regret, "Alas... indeed, things that are both high-quality and beautiful are rare!"
After paying, Lin Leyou left. He went to his villa for a stroll and signed the contract. Construction had already begun, though it was only the beginning.
After checking and finding no problems, Lin Leyou left and headed back. However, on his way back to his residence, he unexpectedly saw the mother and child again at the entrance of the community.
It refers to the mother and son who had no one to rely on after Zhou Feng's divorce.
Zhou Nanyue's left hand was wrapped in bandages and gauze, with faint traces of blood still visible on it.
This looks like a hand was chopped off... no, that hand is still there, so it's injured?
Or perhaps they weren't cut off their hands, but their fingers were? So even if Zhou Feng gave them all the money besides what the system gave him, it still wouldn't be enough?
He strolled by slowly, glancing at them furtively for a moment.
Zhou Nanyue grabbed her mother's hair with her uninjured hand, pulling and yelling, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't failed to get enough money, I wouldn't have lost two fingers!!"
"Now look what's happened, I'm crippled, are you happy now? Huh? Are you happy now?"
"Knowing you don't have enough money, why don't you borrow, steal, or rob? Are you happy to see me lose two fingers? What good will it do you if I become crippled? Huh?!"
Zhou Nanyue looked devastated, screaming hysterically as if she had done nothing wrong.
Of course, the resentful and unwilling look on his face was truly frightening. Many passersby unconsciously moved a little further away, afraid that they would be harassed by the madman if they took a look.
Lin Leyou saw the middle-aged woman screaming in agony as her hair was being pulled. She was crying and screaming, but instead of calling for help, she was apologizing to her son.
"It's all Mom's fault, it's all Mom's fault, please forgive Mom... It's also Dad's fault, he divorced me, hid the money and took it with him, he didn't even tell me he gave it all to me, Mom couldn't do anything about it..."
"Please forgive Mom this time, I promise I'll take good care of you from now on! It's all Dad's fault... He didn't want to save you at all, and Mom doesn't know what to do..."
Even at this point, she was still begging her son for forgiveness and cursing her ex-husband for not leaving her all the money. Others might not know, but Lin Leyou knew that Zhou Feng must have given her all the money.
Of course, the money earned in the game doesn't count; Zhou Feng doesn't owe them anything. On the contrary, the mother and son owe him a lot.
Zhou Nanyue clearly agreed with what she said, released her grip, and threw the person to the ground.
"I know it's that old bastard, he can't stand to see me doing well! He knows I'm going to have my hands and feet chopped off and he still won't give me any money, he definitely doesn't treat me like a son!"
"He's probably secretly laughing to himself! You think you're really getting a divorce from him? He's using this opportunity to get rid of us! Now that he's gone far away, he definitely has another woman on the side!"
"He must have been wanting to get rid of me for a long time, and he's using this opportunity to have someone else get rid of me! Don't let me find his location, or I'll make him pay! You old bastard, you old beast, I'll beat you to death!"
He cursed and kicked his mother.
Lin Leyou took one last look at the middle-aged woman who had fallen to the ground, crying and begging for mercy. While wiping away her tears, she kept agreeing with her son, and of course, she was also dodging the kicks her son was about to throw at her.
They were still in front of the steamed bun shop, but the woman had sublet the shop to raise money.
So... this shop is no longer a place for them to stay, and even if they came here, they couldn't get in.
Now they need to think about where they'll stay tonight, not argue here. But that's none of my business. Lin Leyou has no pity for such scum.
After turning his gaze away, he was about to leave when Zhou Nanyue unexpectedly rushed towards him. Lin Leyou frowned slightly and took two steps back.
Zhou Nanyue rushed up to him and stopped him, shouting, "Hey! Give me the money!"
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment before he realized that Zhou Nanyue was asking him for money. The problem was that they didn't know each other at all. Why was Zhou Nanyue asking him for money?
He found it absurd. Was Zhou Nanyue out of her mind? Robbery in broad daylight?
"Are you trying to rob me?"
Zhou Nanyue was stunned for a moment, "What robbery? You're the one who has to pay compensation, understand?"
As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Leyou, then at himself, looking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow and asked, "What money are you going to pay?"
Zhou Nanyue pointed to her hand holding the gauze, "You caused this, so you have to pay for it, or come with me to the police station! You'll not only have to pay for it, but you'll also go to jail!"
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, wondering why Zhou Nanyue was so confident. "You say I did it, so it's me? Why should the police believe you?"
Zhou Nanyue smiled, revealing her yellowed teeth. "Anyway, all you need to know is that I have connections at the police station. Give me the money! Otherwise, you'll end up in jail!"
Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile as he pointed to the surveillance camera hanging on the road behind him. "Do you know what that is?"
Zhou Nanyue looked up and saw the road surveillance camera; her face twitched, and she finally just spat and turned to leave.
He was clearly dissatisfied, cursing Lin Leyou as he walked, and casually remarked how unlucky he was.
Lin Leyou roughly understood that the person he mentioned knowing must be an accomplice. The person behind the so-called casino could be so carefree, he must have bribed some police officers, or perhaps the police officers were relatives or friends of the other party.
However, there are definitely limitations. For example, if there is evidence, the other party cannot make you pay money, but if no evidence is found, you may really have to pay money.
Lin Leyou touched the earring she had just put on. Zhou Nanyue hadn't paid any attention to her before. Could it be that she had taken a liking to this earring?
His gaze lingered on Zhou Nanyue for a moment before he slowly walked away, leaving the area as if the matter was over.
But to my surprise, Zhou Nanyue followed behind me!
Lin Leyou guessed correctly; Zhou Nanyue had indeed set her sights on the earring on Lin Leyou's ear. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not recognize its value and would think that it was just a flashy thing bought from a two-dollar store to show off.
But Zhou Nanyue had seen the real thing before, and could even tell the difference between real and fake, and roughly estimate its value. She often saw many bosses who could produce similar items when she was gambling.
Over time, he'll come to accept it.
