“Chen Yu!!!”
The familiar shrewish roar erupted from the wristband.
Always so full of spirit.
Looking at Jiang Yaqing’s avatar on the wristband, a smile flickered across Chen Yu’s eyes. He slightly moved the wristband away.
“Aiya, what’s up?”
Chen Yu muttered.
From the wristband, Jiang Yaqing’s voice came again.
“And you’re asking me?” Even through the wristband, one could sense Jiang Yaqing’s annoyance. “Look at how many messages I’ve sent you.”
“Really?”
This genuinely surprised Chen Yu.
He opened the private message box.
Only then did he notice that Jiang Yaqing’s chat window was indeed filled with rows of frantic emoticons.
Roughly estimating—
At least 99+.
Judging by when she sent the messages, it must have been when Chen Yu was fighting hordes of skeleton warriors in the underground palace. It wasn't strange that he couldn't see the messages then.
“Sorry, sorry, I was fighting for my life at the time and didn’t see them.”
“Huh?” Jiang Yaqing’s voice paused. “Fighting for your life? What did you do? Did you run into any trouble? How did it turn out?”
“What do you think?”
“You must have won. If you had lost, neither of us would be able to communicate.”
“You know that and you still ask!”
“Just asking casually.” Jiang Yaqing chuckled. “Quickly check your friend requests. My sister has been waiting for you all night in agony.”
“Ah?”
Chen Yu was taken aback.
Friend request?
He subconsciously tapped the social page of the chat window and noticed there was indeed a request from someone named ‘Xu Nuo’.
Accept.
After adding the friend, Chen Yu spoke softly.
“What’s she here for?”
“What else could she be here for? She must want to buy food from you,” Jiang Yaqing’s tone was tinged with helplessness. “Why else would she be looking for you? Unless she wants to assassinate you?”
“Perhaps she knows about my charm and wants to confess her love?”
“……”
“Please remind her that I am a man who needs no love. Please don’t let her become a stumbling block on my path to success. I only want to make money.”
Chen Yu’s reply was righteous and stern.
His resonant words made it seem as if Xu Nuo was already smitten with him.
Jiang Yaqing, sitting on the rattan chair, turned green.
She swore that in her twenty years of life, she hadn't encountered narcissistic people. However, none of them came close to Chen Yu.
Where did he get his confidence from?
“Don’t you just…”
Before Jiang Yaqing could finish her sentence, Chen Yu’s voice suddenly came from the wristband again.
“Xu Nuo just messaged me. We’ll talk later. Goodbye!”
The voice call instantly ended.
Jiang Yaqing, sitting on the rattan chair, silently watched the wristband’s projection. She pursed her lips, wanting to get angry, but in the end, she didn't. Instead, she sighed, as if it were natural, and lazily stretched.
“Damn man, hanging up on me again!”
Voice calls, indeed.
If you need to hang up, you hang up.
They had been brothers for so long, there was no need to be clingy and whisper sweet nothings like lovers.
Cave survival doesn’t require love.
Love is a major taboo in life, only affecting the speed of accumulating wealth and drawing swords.
Besides—
She wasn’t buying any stock.
If she could buy tens of thousands of pounds of meat, Chen Yu might consider chatting with her for a while.
Chen Yu, sitting on his throne, looked at the private message box.
After the request was approved, Xu Nuo had already sent a message.
Xu Nuo: Busy bee!
Xu Nuo: I sent you a request last night, and you only approved it now. Don’t you know that making a beautiful woman wait is ungentlemanly?
Seeing these two messages, Chen Yu’s eyes almost rolled to the back of his head.
What’s with her acting up with him?
Gentlemanly?
He had never considered himself a gentleman.
Chen Yu: Buying food?
He knew she was going to say useless things, a pure waste of time.
Buying food is buying food.
She shouldn’t say useless things when she’s buying food.
Xu Nuo, who was biting an apple, saw Chen Yu’s message.
(⊙_⊙)
What’s wrong with this man?
So indifferent.
“Heh!”
Xu Nuo, still biting her apple, threw it behind her and stretched, interlacing her fingers lazily.
“Interesting.”
She squinted and lightly tapped the virtual screen with her finger.
Xu Nuo: Buy!
Xu Nuo: I need a large quantity, I just don’t know if you can supply it.
Hoh?!
Chen Yu’s eyes immediately locked onto the phrase ‘large quantity’.
Large quantity is good.
He particularly liked those who needed large quantities.
Chen Yu: As much as you want, I have plenty. I’m just afraid you can’t handle it.
Xu Nuo: ???
Provocation!
I, Xu Nuo, have been active in the business world for years and have never encountered goods I couldn’t handle.
Xu Nuo was immediately provoked.
Before coming to the cave, in the Jiangnan region, a sneeze from her would make the business world tremble for three months. Whatever goods she wanted to buy, there was never a problem with handling them. If she dared to offer, she dared to take!
Although everyone had come to the cave world now, the survivors’ personalities from reality hadn't changed much upon arriving here.
Chen Yu’s last sentence was undoubtedly challenging her financial capacity.
Xu Nuo: Name your price!
Chen Yu: 1g of refined grilled meat is valued at 1. 300g is 1 unit. I currently have about 12,000 units of refined grilled meat.
Chen Yu: Purchasing from me does not include the bread set.
Chen Yu: The bread set needs to be reserved for individual customers. If you can take all my inventory, I can give you a 5% discount.
Chen Yu: This is my price list.
Chen Yu: 1ml of water is worth 1, soil 5, wood 10, stone 15, iron 25, copper 40, silver 75, gold 150, obsidian 300.
Chen Yu: Any elemental fragment is 300.
Gulp.
The moment before, Xu Nuo, who was fuming and ready to compete with Chen Yu, was stunned when she saw the quantity Chen Yu sent.
3 million worth of goods.
This…
She actually couldn't handle it.
She saw the list she received. Calculated by elemental fragments, it required a full 10,000 elemental fragments.
Who could get that many!
Even with black slaves working, it wouldn’t be possible!
After a moment of thought.
Xu Nuo opened the chat window and sent a voice request to Jiang Yaqing.
Half a minute later—
“Hello?”
A somewhat lazy voice came from the wristband.
“What are you doing? Why are you in this state?” Xu Nuo whispered. Jiang Yaqing in the wristband replied lazily, “I was preparing to have my beauty sleep. Why did you call me? I already contacted Chen Yu earlier.”
“I came to him specifically!” Xu Nuo frowned.
“Ah?”
Jiang Yaqing seemed confused.
“What is he? How can he have so much inventory?” Xu Nuo exclaimed. “He just told me he has 10,000 units of 300g refined grilled meat. 3 tons of meat! Did he slay a dragon?”
“Isn’t having a lot of goods a good thing?” Jiang Yaqing asked, not understanding. “Your team is out of food, isn’t it?”
“A lot!”
Xu Nuo sighed and muttered.
“A lot is good, of course. The problem is… do you know what kind of person I am? I just put it out there, saying I’ll eat as much as he offers. I’m really a bit…”
“Aiya, you’re really going to buy it all?”
Jiang Yaqing consoled, “Just buy enough for your needs. And there’s a very important point I need to tell you, this Chen Yu, he…”
“Damn it!”
Before Jiang Yaqing could finish speaking, Xu Nuo suddenly cursed in exasperation.
“Yaqing, I’m not talking to you anymore. He’s mocking me for being poor!”
Beep beep beep—
The call was instantly hung up. Jiang Yaqing silently watched the hung-up call.
“I just wanted to tell you about this. Don’t be fooled by Chen Yu. He… might be trying to trick you!”
