Lin Chen set off the next day.

The "Contemporary Youth" program was recorded on Wednesdays and broadcast on weekends.

This day was the day.

However, Lin Chen didn't need to rush for the bus.

Because he was in Longhai City.

When he was about to leave, Bai Shuyi offered to drive Lin Chen over.

Lin Chen agreed.

In fact, Lin Chen realized that Bai Shuyi was also a homebody who didn't like to go out.

She had been in Longhai City for a few days, and she rarely even left her room, let alone went out. She said she wanted to go to the school to get familiar with it, but after Lin Chen refused to be her guide, Bai Shuyi simply didn't go to school at all.

Instead, she, like Liu Mengyao and Xue Mo, stayed in the game all the time.

Lin Chen understood them very well.

There were always some people who would rather live in the world of the game and hate reality even more.

Before going out, Lin Chen received a call from Zhang Chunlin.

He could tell that this guy was especially happy today.

After all, his crush had asked him out.

Although Zhang Chunlin also knew that Jiang Youyou only asked him out because her sister was going to interview him, Zhang Chunlin was still happy to do it.

It wasn't that Zhang Chunlin was innocent.

It was that he also knew that if you wanted to pursue a girl these days, you had to have a thick skin.

Furthermore, you had to make use of all your own advantages.

That way, the chances would be greater.

Lin Chen and Zhang Chunlin were naturally not talking about these things. Zhang Chunlin called to report to Lin Chen how much stuff he had collected yesterday. He also told Lin Chen that there were still people selling Supreme Treasure Boxes on the market.

"How many? I want them all!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

This was a good thing!

Currently, the only thing that could produce top-quality pet equipment in the *New World* game was the Supreme Treasure Box.

Moreover, pet equipment was also a consumable.

So the more the better!

"Boss, this thing isn't cheap. They're all studios or former gold farmers who are trying to make one last buck in this game, so they're holding the price down pretty hard. One Supreme Treasure Box costs a thousand yuan!"

Zhang Chunlin said on the phone, "If you say you want them all, those crazy studios can probably grind out a few hundred a day for you!"

"I want them!"

Lin Chen said, "You go and bargain. Take as many as you can get, but six hundred each. Otherwise, let them rot in their hands! Everyone knows the game is shutting down. They can make this last buck, but they shouldn't take it for granted!"

Lin Chen hung up the phone.

He believed that the people in these studios would definitely agree.

They had a large number of accounts in their hands.

Although these accounts might not be top-tier, and the equipment was very poor, they were all gold-farming accounts. Some were even life accounts that only played sub-occupations. However, after the game descended into reality, these gold farmers in the studios suddenly became the 'elite group' in society, a small minority, and directly turned over to become masters!

This was also a considerable force.

If Lin Chen made deals with them now, it would be easy to win them over in the future.

"The abilities of those studios can probably spend you hundreds of thousands a day, and you're still having Zhang Chunlin collect other items everywhere. Your daily expenses now exceed a million, right?"

Bai Shuyi looked at Lin Chen strangely and said, "I really suspect that you're so sure of something that you're investing so crazily."

"Haha, just think I have insider information!"

Lin Chen laughed and brushed it off with a single sentence.

Bai Shuyi didn't ask any further.

She knew that it wasn't good to ask too many questions about some things.

Asking more would be impolite.

If Lin Chen was willing to say, he would have said it long ago.

Besides, Lin Chen had explained it to her before… However, women, well, they all understood.

They trusted men the most, and they also distrusted men the most.

As the car was about to leave the residential area, Lin Chen frowned.

Because he saw someone…

Clearly, they were here to block him.

"Stop the car, I'll go down." Lin Chen didn't say much.

However, anyone could tell that Tiger Brother's *shamate* look (a gaudy, outdated fashion style), dense tattoos, and unfriendly expression meant that he was here with bad intentions.

"I'll go down with you. I've trained before!"

Bai Shuyi said, worried. She even handed an electric baton to Lin Chen, then continued, "If they attack later, just zap them… Do you know how to use it?"

"Yes, but I don't need it. Trust me, wait in the car."

Lin Chen returned the electric baton to her.

He even told her to be good.

Then he opened the car door.

He had to say, Lin Chen's actions just now were full of manliness.

Faced with danger, he was not only fearless and unusually calm, but he even had the responsibility of a man, without the slightest bit of retreat.

Moreover, he knew how to protect women, not letting Bai Shuyi get involved.

"No wonder Yao Yao is so infatuated with him. There's a reason for it!"

Bai Shuyi muttered softly, watching Lin Chen's back.

Then, she simply watched the show.

"Tiger Brother, are you here to see me?"

Lin Chen was sensible and spoke first.

However, it wasn't Tiger Brother who answered Lin Chen.

Ye Tenglong pointed at Lin Chen arrogantly and said, "You know! Lin Chen, do you know what my brother is here for? That's right, you owe my brother money. It's time to pay it back!"

"Didn't we agree on three months?" Lin Chen frowned and said, "It's only been three or four days, right?"

Ye Tenglong was very arrogant and said, "Who said three months? Do you have an IOU or any evidence? I'm saying you should pay when you should! Let me tell you, I'm giving you face today because we're classmates. If you don't pay back the money today, don't even think about leaving."

Lin Chen understood.

The other party was deliberately making trouble.

But the person making trouble shouldn't be Ye Teng Hu.

It was Ye Tenglong!

This guy had often insulted Lin Chen in front of his classmates and even laughed at Lin Chen for being a fool. But now Lin Chen had suddenly become popular online, even if it was blackly popular. But these days, blackly popular was still popular!

With attention, there was heat!

With heat, there was traffic!

With traffic, you could monetize!

This was the truth of the information age.

So Ye Tenglong felt like he had been slapped in the face. Even though Lin Chen didn't say anything or do anything, his face was slapped loudly. In addition to being jealous of Lin Chen's current popularity, Ye Tenglong deliberately came to make trouble.

Lin Chen knew Ye Tenglong's character very well. This guy was a bad egg.

It could be said that he was a complete scumbag.

So after analyzing it in his mind, Lin Chen could guess the reason. So he continued to ignore Ye Tenglong, too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked directly at Ye Teng Hu behind him and said, "Tiger Brother, we agreed on three months, but now I don't need that long. At most a month, and I'll pay you back…"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Tenglong anxiously interrupted, "I'm telling you to pay it back today. Are you deaf?"

"What you say doesn't count."

Lin Chen didn't bother with him at all. Seeing that Ye Teng Hu didn't speak, he continued, "I'll pay you an extra million then! Whether you listen to your brother and cause me trouble, making it impossible for me to pay back the money, or you earn an extra million, Tiger Brother, choose for yourself."

This was Lin Chen's confidence.

Now, Ye Teng Hu definitely knew that Lin Chen was popular online.

If he wanted to make money, he could make it.

After all, Lin Chen was going to be on a program.

At least the appearance fee for the program was not small!

However, after Lin Chen became famous, the situation was different.

Now Lin Chen was a celebrity, a *wanghong* (internet celebrity), so-called empty words were not enough. If Lin Chen didn't acknowledge this loan, and then guided public opinion, it was very likely that he would lose everything!

So, Ye Teng Hu didn't hesitate for long before saying, "Alright! But this time, you have to write an IOU in black and white, saying that there's no interest, that you borrowed three million cash from me, and that you'll pay it all back in a month!"

Actually, this should be Ye Teng Hu's real purpose for coming to Lin Chen today.

In the past, he was very generous and didn't want an IOU.

But now, he was worried and needed this IOU.

"Okay, no problem. Three million, I'll write it now!"

Lin Chen returned to the car and asked Bai Shuyi, "Do you have a pen?"

"You're really writing it?" Bai Shuyi said speechlessly, "He's just a local thug. Why are you so afraid of him? Besides, borrowing 1.6 million and paying back three million, he's robbing a bank!"

"It's okay, I'll write it. I'll have my own way to deal with it later."

Lin Chen was grateful for Bai Shuyi's concern, but he still didn't reveal too much. After brushing it off, he wrote the IOU.

However, when Lin Chen walked past Ye Tenglong, he stopped.

Then he looked at Ye Tenglong with a very disdainful look until Ye Tenglong made way.

Lin Chen walked past the spot where he had been standing and said with a smile, "It's good that you know how to make way… Tiger Brother, this is the three million IOU. Now, I'm considered your God of Wealth, right? Then can I trouble Tiger Brother to make sure that in the future… no, from now on, keep your dog away from me?"

Clearly, Lin Chen was using a metaphor, indirectly scolding Ye Tenglong for being a dog blocking the way.

"Lin Chen!" Ye Tenglong was so angry that he was about to attack.

"What are you doing? Get lost!"

Ye Teng Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly slapped Ye Tenglong in the face, scolding, "Do you know what you're doing? How many times have I told you, don't go against money! Now, call him Brother Chen and apologize!"

"Lin… Chen, Brother Chen, I'm sorry!"

Ye Tenglong apologized.

He even bowed to Lin Chen.

There was no choice!

Who told Lin Chen to be equal to Ye Teng Hu's walking three million now?

It seemed that Ye Tenglong, this own brother, was worthless in the face of three million.

This was human nature!

Lin Chen didn't have too many emotions. He didn't say another word to Ye Tenglong, not even pleasantries. He got into Bai Shuyi's car and left.
