On the wristband, Chen Yu's voice came through the moment the call was answered.
Jiang Yaqing, slumped in the rattan chair, couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
She was quite envious of Chen Yu. No matter when, he was always so enthusiastic, as if there was nothing in his life to bother him.
"What resources do you need now?"
Jiang Yaqing, taking a sip of her lemon water, whispered softly.
Huh?!
Hearing Jiang Yaqing's voice through the wristband, Chen Yu couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
Something's not right.
This doesn't match the usual emotional state of the big fat sheep.
Such a low mood.
Heartbreak?
"What's wrong? Why are you so down? Did you break up?" Chen Yu probed softly, and Jiang Yaqing immediately retorted angrily, "Break up my foot! Where did you hear that I look like I broke up?"
"Not broken up, then why are you so glum?"
"In a bad mood."
Jiang Yaqing's tone was low, and Chen Yu pondered for a moment.
Hiss?
Could it be that...
Her monthly visitor, Aunt Flow, has arrived again?
Oh dear.
If that were the case, Chen Yu would have to choose his words carefully. Women in this state are very difficult to deal with, and they can erupt like a volcano for no reason.
This would greatly affect his clearing of goods.
"Cough..." Chen Yu, not knowing the specifics, coughed lightly and probed, "What happened? We're partners, you can tell me if you have any difficulties, maybe I can help you?"
Jiang Yaqing on the rattan chair suddenly brightened her beautiful eyes.
That's right!
This black-hearted merchant might...
Just as Jiang Yaqing's spirits lifted slightly, she soon became dejected again.
How could that be?
He's just a food supplier. If he could supply equipment too, wouldn't he be omnipotent?
"You, forget it." Jiang Yaqing's voice became low again, and she said, "Why don't you tell me what you need help with? You can't help me!"
"Hey!"
Chen Yu's temper flared immediately.
He's looking down on him!
With his fiery temper, he really couldn't stand it.
"How do you know you can't help me if you don't say it?" Chen Yu frowned. "Tell me, what is it? I don't believe there's anything in this underground world that I, Chen Yu, can't handle."
Chen Yu really didn't like to meddle in other people's business.
But, during this period, Jiang Yaqing had taken good care of him. Although he always muttered "big fat sheep," this big fat sheep was truly supportive.
As long as Chen Yu needed something, contacting her was always smooth.
Now Jiang Yaqing was in trouble.
How could he just stand by and do nothing?
"Say it, let me see what kind of difficult situation it is!"
"Tch, still acting all high and mighty." Jiang Yaqing pouted. "Fine, fine, then I'll say it. I need equipment, large quantities of equipment."
"Huh?!"
"How about that, can't do it now?"
Sensing Chen Yu's surprised tone, Jiang Yaqing guessed that Chen Yu wouldn't be able to help.
Now—
In the underground world, whether it was the major families or the scattered individuals, the demand for equipment was extremely high. Chen Yu's possession of so much food indicated that he definitely had a large team behind him and definitely needed equipment supplies.
At this moment, no one could solve the problem of equipment.
"You... you just said you want to buy equipment?" After being surprised, Chen Yu was silent for a while, then asked again in disbelief.
"That's right!"
Jiang Yaqing said in a low voice.
"It's just that we're short on equipment. My subordinates have suffered heavy casualties recently, and the demand for equipment and medical supplies is huge. It's not just my family; the other families in the group are similar. You must have heard of the Dongguo family in Jiangnan, right? Their old man has even announced that whoever can give his family 3,000 sets of equipment will marry off his own eldest daughter."
"Is she good-looking?"
"Huh?"
"I said, is the eldest daughter of the Dongguo family good-looking!"
"She's definitely good-looking." Jiang Yaqing said speechlessly, "Don't you know Dongguo Shuqin? She's a renowned beauty in Jiangnan."
Gulp.
Looking at the wristband, Chen Yu swallowed.
Wow!
He, isn't he too lucky?
Chen Yu couldn't help but look down at his tattered Lucky Set.
Has fate changed?
He believed that his luck wasn't particularly good before coming to the underground world. When he went to the supermarket outside the school to buy scratch cards, the biggest prize he won was 20 yuan.
When buying drinks, it was almost always "Thank you for your patronage."
Yet—
Since arriving in the underground world, it was as if his luck had turned around. He got whatever he wanted, and whatever he thought of, it appeared.
Not to mention anything else.
Just as he contacted Jiang Yaqing, he was thinking about how to trick her into buying some of his equipment. Unexpectedly, she was actually worrying about equipment, and not only him, but several other families he knew were also racking their brains to obtain equipment.
They were even offering their daughters in marriage!
What's going on?
Lost in thought, Chen Yu couldn't snap back to reality for a long time. His mind was constantly pondering how he had become so lucky.
"Hey, what are you doing? Speak up?" From the wristband, Jiang Yaqing's voice came out again, her expression serious, "Why did you ask those things just now? You... you don't actually have equipment, do you?"
By the end, Jiang Yaqing was actually a little uncertain, but she still asked.
"Heh..."
Chen Yu grinned.
"Hey, Yaqing, you... can you send me Dongguo Shuqin's contact information?"
"Huh?"
"Send it to me, send it to me, I want to get to know her."
"You... what do you want?" Hearing Chen Yu's cringey voice from the wristband, Jiang Yaqing frowned. "You, you don't actually have equipment, do you? Holy crap, Chen Yu... you can really come up with three thousand sets of equipment? Wait, wait, you... you really have it, you really have equipment?"
"Ah, where do I have equipment? I just want to get to know her."
"Impossible!"
Jiang Yaqing slammed her lemon water onto the table with a bang and stood up abruptly.
She hung up the voice call and directly initiated a video call.
As soon as the video was connected, Chen Yu smiled and waved at the projection. In the screen, Jiang Yaqing had one hand on her hip, her face almost pressed against the screen, her other hand on her hip.
"Chen Yu!!!!"
"Don't yell, don't yell." Chen Yu instinctively moved his wristband away. "Why are you yelling? Let's talk properly if there's anything."
"You have equipment!"
"No."
"You do, you definitely do, don't play coy with me!" Jiang Yaqing was convinced that Chen Yu had equipment and said angrily, "You're really prioritizing romance over friendship. I've helped you so much before. Now that you have equipment, and you heard that Dongguo Shuqin can get married, you're going to go look for her."
"I don't..."
"Heh, with you, I know what kind of fart you're going to pass just by seeing your butt. Don't try to fool me, you said that just now, so you must have surplus equipment."
"..."
"Chen Yu!"
Jiang Yaqing glared at him, seemingly annoyed. Chen Yu's brow furrowed upon seeing this.
"Hmm? This, is this the attitude you want equipment with?"
"Then... what do you want?"
"At least, you have to act cute, right?" Chen Yu said in a low voice. "You need equipment, and you're being so defiant with me, why should I give the equipment to you and not to... little sister Dongguo Shuqin?"
"I..."
In the video, Jiang Yaqing clenched her fists tightly, her nostrils flared, and her teeth bit her lip. As if making a great decision, she lowered her head.
"Chen Yu, will you sell me the equipment, please?"
"Will you? Please, please, sell it to me, sell it to me~~~"
