Chapter 52 Mr. Chen Yifan, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Luo Tian, and my online na
Chen Yifan glanced at the time.
There's still a long time until 7 p.m.
There is enough time to process all the loot from this instance.
The neighbor's sudden outburst was like a wake-up call, making him realize that the home he had lived in for more than ten years was no longer a safe haven.
Then, Chen Yifan's fingers glided across the worn-out keyboard without uttering a single unnecessary word.
"I have a batch of ore from the deepest part of the goblin mine, of extremely high quality. I need the most reputable and generous supplier to convert it into cash immediately."
This time, the Prophet remained silent for a full ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, a reply popped up.
"Black Gold Market, Third Street, there's a 'Repair Shop' inside. Give them my name."
"Prices will only go up, never down."
Black gold market?
Chen Yifan tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertip.
That was the place where he stole Lin Feng's talent.
He noted down the address sent by the "prophet" and was just about to get up.
Then came Wang Pangzi's distinctive, powerful knocking voice from outside the door.
It was faster than expected.
Chen Yifan opened the door, and Wang Pangzi's huge body almost blocked the entire door frame, his face full of anxiety and confusion.
However, behind him stood a slender figure.
Lin Xiaoyu?
Chen Yifan's gaze swept over her.
Today's Lin Xiaoyu is like a completely different person from the girl who cried helplessly in the ward yesterday.
She was still wearing that faded school uniform.
But the timidity and inferiority on his face were replaced by a resolute flame.
Those clear eyes that were once filled with fear.
All that's left is a desperate, all-or-nothing madness.
She was tightly clutching a black plastic flowerpot in her arms.
In the flowerpot, there is a blood-red plant.
"Fanzi, this..."
Fatty Wang scratched his head, lowered his voice, and looked completely bewildered.
"I ran into her downstairs at my apartment. She said she had something extremely urgent to tell me, so I..."
"I bought it."
Lin Xiaoyu interrupted Fatty Wang directly.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
She took a step forward and solemnly handed the flowerpot to Chen Yifan.
"As you said, I spent all my savings to buy a 'Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy' seedling."
Her eyes were fixed on Chen Yifan like a gambler who had staked everything on the table.
"What should I do next?"
Fatty Wang glanced at Chen Yifan, then at the strange plant in Lin Xiaoyu's arms, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
Bloodthirsty Poison Girl!
This thing starts at 100,000 Chinese Yuan!
Did you really buy it?
Crazy!
Where did she get the money?
Could it be that they've fallen victim to those deadly professional loan sharks?
Chen Yifan did not answer.
His gaze lingered on Lin Xiaoyu's face for two seconds.
Looking at her hands, her knuckles white from clenching her fists so tightly, and her eyes, shining with an astonishing intensity from her resolute determination.
he knows.
This girl has no way back.
"Fatty,"
Chen Yifan withdrew his gaze and looked at his brother, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"You stay at my house today and don't go anywhere. Protect my mom and Xiaoxue, and don't open the door to anyone."
Wang Pangzi's heart skipped a beat. He sensed an impending storm in Chen Yifan's tone.
He didn't ask anything, he just nodded emphatically:
"rest assured!"
The two words have only one meaning: his entire promise.
After explaining things to Wang Fugui, Chen Yifan turned to Lin Xiaoyu, his voice as indifferent as ice.
"This is just the beginning."
"If you want it to work for you, you have to feed it what it craves most."
"Its first food..."
Chen Yifan's gaze fell on the flowerpot in her arms, on the blood-red plant.
The voice was so soft, like the whisper of a devil, that it rang close to her eardrums.
"It's blood."
Lin Xiaoyu's body trembled almost imperceptibly.
But she didn't flinch, her gaze remained unwavering, and she simply nodded even more forcefully.
"I see."
Chen Yifan said no more. His initial backpack flashed with light, and two completely different ores appeared in his hand.
A piece of stone, completely black and seemingly capable of swallowing light, is the [Shadow Stone].
The other one resembled a still-burning coal, radiating a scorching aura; it was the [Heart of Molten Fire].
These two materials, rich in immense energy, were the core spoils of his dungeon run, and are priceless treasures for any novice player.
He shoved the two pieces of ore directly into Lin Xiaoyu's hands.
"These are valuable enough to bring it to its first maturity. Remember, the speed at which it grows depends on the quality of the 'nutrients' you feed it."
After explaining everything, he turned around, took a hooded black jacket from the hanger, and put it on.
I'm going out for a bit.
……
Half an hour later, at the Black Gold Market.
Chen Yifan quickly navigated through the maze-like alleyways and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous "scrap metal recycling station".
On the doorplate, a broken scale was hastily drawn in red paint.
It is here.
He pushed open the creaking iron door.
A murky heat wave, mixed with the smell of engine oil, cheap alcohol, and a faint stench of blood, hit me.
Inside, there's a hidden paradise.
It stretches as far as the eye can see.
In the dim light, dozens of figures were scattered in twos and threes in the space made from shipping containers and scrap steel plates.
Everyone's eyes were filled with vigilance and scrutiny.
Chen Yifan pulled down his hood, ignoring the probing gazes, and walked straight to a cubicle at the back with a sign that read "Mobile Phone Technical Repair".
Behind the counter, a young man in his mid-twenties was slumped in a worn-out gaming chair.
His hair was greasy, his T-shirt was printed with faded anime characters, and he still looked sleepy. He was staring intently at the old-fashioned game console in his hands, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
It is exactly the same as the description given by the [Prophet].
Chen Yifan walked to the counter and gently tapped the table with his index finger.
The young man didn't even look up, and clicked his tongue in extreme impatience.
"Queue up for repairs, inspect goods before selling. New here? Don't you know the rules?"
Without saying a word, Chen Yifan took out a completely black [Shadow Stone] and a [Molten Heart] that was still radiating a scorching heat from his backpack.
He casually tossed it onto the dilapidated countertop.
wow-
Two distinct yet equally pure and intense spiritual energy fluctuations, like pebbles thrown into a lake, caused ripples in the thick air of the cubicle.
The young man's fingers froze on the game console buttons.
He slowly raised his head.
A sharp, almost supernatural glint flashed in those eyes that were originally still sleepy.
His gaze lingered on the two pieces of ore for less than a second before landing precisely on Chen Yifan's face, hidden in the shadow of his hood.
He suddenly laughed.
It was a smile that suggested one had seen something incredibly interesting, with a hint of amusement and a touch of knowing exactly what was going on.
He put down the game console, stretched lazily, and his bones cracked like popping beans.
"The stuff is good."
He yawned and spoke slowly in a tone as if they had known each other for a long time.
"People are more interesting."
"Please sit down."
He pointed to a similarly dilapidated stool next to him, a knowing, mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Allow me to introduce myself..."
"My name is Luo Tian."
The next second, he continued slowly and deliberately:
"Nickname..."
"prophet."
He looked at the suddenly contracting pupils under the hood, and his smile deepened.
"Possesses a spatial blinking ability similar to the 'Shadow Fiend'..."
"It also possesses an unbelievable speed-boosting talent..."
Luo Tian leaned forward, looking directly at Chen Yifan, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Your ability is very interesting..."
"Nice to meet you."
"Mr. Chen Yifan, the SSS-rank winner of the Goblin Mine."
