The training room was silent. No one lacked a concept of money, not even someone as scatterbrained as Baozi.

Under the expectant and nervous gazes of the others, Ye Xiu slowly went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water, took a sip; then he took out a cigarette from his pocket and slowly lit it; then…

"If you make one more move, I'll kill you!" Wei Chen had been anxious and irritable for days, and now that Ye Xiu was back, he was still being so slow, finally erupting in anger.

"Materials worth 2 million," Ye Xiu said calmly.

"2 million… worth of materials?" Wei Chen's face contorted for a moment. Frankly, did Ye Xiu have the right to dispose of that income? Of course, he didn't. This belonged to Wei Chen, and even Steamed Bun Invasion had more right to it than Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu was just running errands. Wei Chen would be more than generous to give him a commission. Of course, Wei Chen wasn't planning on just doing that, but now that he learned that Ye Xiu had exchanged his years of hard work for a pile of materials, obviously to be used by the team, Wei Chen felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he had some premonition when Ye Xiu contacted him that day to ask about material needs, he didn't expect this guy to be so domineering. 2 million! He turned it all into materials…

Even Chen Guo and the others felt it was a bit too much to hear that Ye Xiu had only gotten a pile of materials. This guy had just naturally disposed of something that should have been Wei Chen's! It wouldn't matter if it was a small amount, but this was 2 million!

But the deed was done. Wei Chen was a magnanimous person after all. 2 million? In the end, he just laughed and said, "Ha, so many materials, that should be enough for us, right?"

"Enough my ass. It's all dungeon materials. The rare materials dropped by Wild Bosses, people just wouldn't give them up," Ye Xiu said.

"Damn it! If they won't give them to you, won't they sell them? What the hell are you doing?!" Wei Chen was enraged to hear that 2 million had been spent, but he hadn't bought what he desperately needed. Had Ye Xiu done this job to disgust him? He finally couldn't take it anymore.

"You you you… sigh…" But what could he do even if he couldn't take it anymore? Wei Chen could only sigh in the end. He had entrusted everything to Ye Xiu, and the result was so unsatisfactory, but he was too embarrassed to say more. He only regretted not going with him.

Chen Guo couldn't stand it anymore and was about to ask a few questions. This guy was probably planning to resell these materials to cash them in, right? He wouldn't just use them all as materials, would he? Although Chen Guo always said that Ye Xiu had no bottom line, she instinctively felt that it shouldn't be as simple as just buying materials. 6 million!

"Besides the materials, there's also an advance payment of 6 million," Ye Xiu then added casually.

"What?" Wei Chen, who had been somewhat listless, suddenly perked up after hearing this.

Even Chen Guo, who was about to speak, stopped. She heard it clearly and was sure she didn't need Ye Xiu to repeat it. She immediately felt gratified. She knew that Ye Xiu wouldn't just do that. 6 million!

"You're really capable!" Wei Chen was laughing so hard that his mouth couldn't close, and he came over to pat Ye Xiu on the shoulder repeatedly.

"6 million is just the advance payment?" This time, it was Tang Rou who caught the key words "advance payment" in Ye Xiu's words.

Wei Chen was stunned. He was so pleasantly surprised by the 6 million that he almost fainted. Could there be something even more shocking hidden behind? Wei Chen quickly took a step back and supported himself on the table, afraid of being overwhelmed.

"Yes, there's also 12 million, to be paid in installments over a year. This is the contract," Ye Xiu finally took out the signed contract from his arms. Wei Chen snatched it away and flipped through it frantically, not caring about the various terms and conditions above, but flipping through it haphazardly while constantly asking, "Where is it? Where's the money?"

It turned out that this guy just wanted to confirm whether the amount of money was real.

Ye Xiu and Samsara had drafted the contract together, line by line, so he was very familiar with it. He quickly helped Wei Chen find the place where the agreed payment was. Wei Chen saw those dazzling and thrilling numbers, shouted "Oh my god," and sat back down in his chair.

Chen Guo, Tang Rou, and even Baozi were shocked.

2 million in materials, 6 million in down payment, plus 12 million in installments, this was a transaction worth a total of 20 million! They had expected the amount to be considerable, but who would have thought it would be so huge? Chen Guo followed Glory, and she was a fan of Excellent Era before, so she knew that Sun Xiang's transfer fee of 7 million was the highest in Glory at the moment. But now, compared to their transaction, the God's transfer fee was only one-third. This made Chen Guo feel very proud. No matter what aspect it was, as long as it was better than Excellent Era, it would make Chen Guo feel great. Even the amount of the transaction could be compared to create a sense of pleasure, which was frankly fan psychology. As the manager of the team, whether spending money or making money was a business strategy, and no one would engage in emotional disputes on this matter and then feel complacent.

"The down payment transfer should be completed in the next two days, and the installments will start from next month, 1 million per month, all directly into your account. Okay, do you have any other questions?" Ye Xiu said.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha!" Wei Chen laughed wildly and patted Ye Xiu's shoulder.

"This guy has gone crazy," Ye Xiu quickly dodged.

Chen Guo was also very gratified to see this. This deal, which ended in such a crazy way, was truly a win-win situation. As for how Wei Chen planned to pay for this part of the money, everyone had no right to interfere. It would be good if he was willing to invest it in the team, and if he wasn't, everyone had no right to blame him. Chen Guo finally reminded this guy, "Steamed Bun Invasion, don't pretend you've forgotten about him! Could this have been done without him?"

This point was confirmed by Ye Xiu. Without Steamed Bun Invasion's accurate data, although this thing could still be sold, it definitely couldn't be sold at such a high price. After all, Wei Chen's own explorations before were messy and unsystematic. If that was given to Samsara, and Samsara asked what the probability of each thing was, how would you know? There was really no way to answer. For example, the method that Samsara used to verify the goods and finally determine the value, couldn't have been done if Wei Chen had used his original materials.

If the exact value couldn't be confirmed, that meant unknown risks, and the transaction would definitely be cautious. It would be problematic whether they could get as much money as they had now.

"Of course," Wei Chen came from the underworld and advocated loyalty. Although he was always said to have no bottom line, he would never be ambiguous about important matters.

20 million! Even Steamed Bun Invasion, who wasn't a national mathematician like his mentor, could unhesitatingly refuse? Wei Chen called out to Steamed Bun Invasion from their team group. At this time, even Baozi came over, carefully looked at Wei Chen, and finally commented, "I can't tell that Old Wei is so capable! He can just make so much money."

"Hahahaha, hahahaha," Wei Chen laughed wildly.

"I won't fight with you over paying the bill for dinner anymore," Baozi said.

"Whoever fights with me, I'll get mad at them!" Wei Chen responded generously.

At this time, Steamed Bun Invasion also popped up on QQ. Seeing that it wasn't Ye Xiu, but another member of the team privately messaging him, Steamed Bun Invasion was a little surprised and cautiously greeted him.

"Scientist! Thanks to you, that thing sold for 20 million! Tell me! How much do you want?" Wei Chen said.

"Oh? It sold for so much, that's great!" Steamed Bun Invasion replied. Since it was just an online conversation, it was impossible to tell from the words whether Steamed Bun Invasion was excited.

"You definitely couldn't have done it without you," Wei Chen said.

"Not at all, I didn't do anything, just organized things and did odd jobs," Steamed Bun Invasion said.

The two chatted for a long time, but Steamed Bun Invasion really wasn't moved by the 20 million at all, insisting that he didn't do any valuable work to improve the strategy and wasn't qualified to share the money.

No matter how much he said, Steamed Bun Invasion just stuck to this principle. This made Wei Chen, who came from society, helpless. Begging someone to take money, was such a thing easy to see now? Especially with such a large sum of 20 million. Even if he dropped one percent, the amount of 200,000 was enough to make many people drool.

"This scientist, his awareness is really high…" Since there was no way to convince Steamed Bun Invasion, Wei Chen was also helpless. Steamed Bun Invasion finally said that since his value had really been realized, then he would risk being scolded and report it to his mentor, the old professor, and see what the professor's attitude was.

Of course, everyone had no objection to this, and Steamed Bun Invasion disappeared.

That night, Wei Chen simply didn't go back to the residential area to rest. He spent the whole night in the training room, because he was so energetic that he forgot about fatigue and sleep.

The next day, Steamed Bun Invasion brought back news. He had asked Professor Zhang, and the professor said that he didn't need any money. Professor Zhang didn't seem to care much about accidentally helping people earn such a large sum of money. He only said in the end that he hoped Comrade Wei Chen could use the money where it was most needed.

"Use it where it's most needed…" Wei Chen carefully savored the professor's teachings and finally asked everyone, "Is he saying that we should use it to run the team well?"

Damn it! This awareness was hopeless, and everyone covered their foreheads. How could Professor Zhang's "most needed place" be to run an esports team?

"Knowledge development!"

"Human progress!"

Everyone reminded him that this would be the "most needed place" that matched Professor Zhang's identity.

Wei Chen was stunned after hearing this answer. He could never have imagined that he would be associated with a career of "knowledge development, human progress" in his life. How was he supposed to do this? Wei Chen was distressed, and it looked like he was going to have another day of insomnia. Ye Xiu sighed and said, "With your awareness, don't try to think like a scientist. What is the 'most needed place' for you, that's it! People just hope that you spend this money in a worthwhile way."
