Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Brothers

Su Xing seemed pensive, preparing to make a few more attempts later when he had time to confirm his thoughts.

Seven days flashed by, and it was the day of the week to conduct the trade with Jin Congxue again.

Su Xing handed over the three hundred Nourishing Face Pills he had prepared in advance to Jin Congxue, and in exchange, Jin Congxue gave Su Xing the 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment she had prepared for the week.

During the meal, Jin Congxue hesitated for a moment before saying to Su Xing,

“Today someone came to our Tarot Society to sell equipment. Guess who it was?”

Su Xing shook his head slightly. Jin Congxue said,

“It was Yu Yan. I remember he’s your roommate, right? Today he came to our Tarot Society and sold a Master Level piece of equipment.”

Hearing this, Su Xing frowned slightly. How come Yu Yan was selling equipment? And it was even a Master Level equipment.

If Su Xing remembered correctly, Yu Yan should still be at Master Level, and Master Level equipment would undoubtedly be very important to him.

Jin Congxue continued at this point,

“And by the looks of him, it seemed like he wanted to sell more than just one piece of equipment. If I’m not mistaken, he must have encountered some difficulty.”

Su Xing was startled. Such urgency to sell equipment, what kind of difficulty could he have encountered?

It’s nothing but a shortage of money.

In the past, to quickly obtain energy, Su Xing had borrowed over fifty million Great Xia Coins from Yu Yan. Since the Tarot Society had just been established and was continuing its financial chain, Su Xing thought that perhaps Yu Yan was not in a hurry for the money, so he did not rush to pay it back.

But now that Yu Yan had fallen to the point of selling his equipment, he must indeed be very short on cash.

Even so, Yu Yan still hadn’t prompted Su Xing to repay the debt.

If it weren’t for Jin Congxue mentioning it today, Su Xing would still be in the dark.

With this thought, Su Xing felt somewhat moved. Even in such difficulty, Yu Yan still hadn’t urged Su Xing to repay the money.

Presumably, Yu Yan probably thought that his financial situation was very difficult too…

Thinking this, Su Xing said to Jin Congxue,

“Congxue, take out a hundred million Great Xia Coins from the business for me. I have an urgent need.”

Jin Congxue seemed contemplative, “Is it for that Yu Yan?”

Su Xing nodded and didn’t conceal the truth, saying,

“There was a time not long ago when I was in a tough spot, and Yu Yan lent me fifty million, which I have yet to repay… Even now that he’s in trouble, he hasn’t brought this matter up to me.”

After hearing this, Jin Congxue nodded. Fifty million might not mean much to her, but for a student like Yu Yan, it was definitely a significant sum. If he hadn’t lent those fifty million to Su Xing, Yu Yan probably wouldn’t have had to resort to selling his equipment.

Therefore, Jin Congxue said,

“Alright, I’ll transfer one hundred million to you for now. As for the equipment that Yu Yan sold, why don’t we return it as well?”

Upon hearing this, Su Xing shook his head and said,

“Keep the equipment Yu Yan sold for now. After I repay the money, Yu Yan will likely redeem it himself. You can just give it back to him at the original price then.”

If Su Xing directly returned the equipment, it would be difficult to explain how he came to know of this matter.

Moreover, Fatty Yu was someone who cared a lot about face; bringing it up directly would be rather ungraceful.

After the meal, Su Xing went back to the dormitory, where it happened that Yu Yan was also there.

Su Xing chuckled and patted Yu Yan’s shoulder, saying,

“Fatty, last time I was a bit tight and borrowed 55 million from you. I just happened to make a small deal recently, so I’ll pay you back now!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan felt a twinge in his heart, his face showing a bit of confusion. He was short on cash recently; how did Su Xing decide to repay him just at this moment?

But Yu Yan couldn’t glean any information from Su Xing’s expression and took it as a coincidence that Su Xing had money to repay. So, Yu Yan said,

“Cough cough! What’s with the formalities between brothers? I’m not short of cash! You can pay me back whenever… By the way, do you need me to lend you some more money?”

Su Xing’s face was all smiles, but inwardly, he rolled his eyes. This guy really cared about face!

Without any fuzz, Su Xing transferred 50 million on the spot, saying,

“Fatty, I’ll pay back 50 million first. I’ll cover the remaining 5 million with some items I got from the instance drops!”

“This stuff is really good! Make sure you use it yourself, don’t show it to others.”

With those words, Su Xing took out a bottle of the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pill, which contained thirty elixirs, and handed it over.

Yu Yan took the elixirs, still hesitating as he said,

“I’ll accept the items. As for the money, you can owe it for now! I’m really not short on cash!”

The corner of Su Xing’s mouth twitched unwillingly, and observing Yu Yan’s convincing performance, had Su Xing not known the truth from Jin Congxue, he might have been deceived by this Fatty.

But Su Xing still pretended to be oblivious, “No problem! If I’m short on cash later on, I’ll come borrow from you! Just think of it as money kept with a brother!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan finally accepted the money, then suddenly thought of something and said,

“Cough cough, Ah Xing, I have something to deal with, I need to step out…”

No sooner had he spoken than Yu Yan hurriedly left the school.

Watching Yu Yan’s hastily retreating figure, Su Xing couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Nine times out of ten, the guy was off to redeem his equipment.

Regarding this good brother, Su Xing was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart. Without Yu Yan’s initial support, how could Su Xing have developed so quickly? Nor would he have achieved what he had today.

Thus, Su Xing chose to give Yu Yan thirty low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills.

Even though the Essence-Nourishing Pills were a low-grade version, their value was still considerable.

Even the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills could increase a Golden Core Stage cultivator’s mana. For professionals, even those at Master Level in magical professions, it could directly enhance their spirit attributes.

Anyone who has played games knows that attribute points are precious, and aside from level and equipment bonuses, only extremely rare items could permanently enhance attributes.

For Yu Yan, the Flame Burst Mage, the effect of the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills was undoubtedly enormous.

Su Xing reckoned that once Yu Yan digested the thirty Essence-Nourishing Pills, he would be able to attempt advancing to the Grandmaster Level professions.

If one were to evaluate the value of the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills in monetary terms, Su Xing estimated that it would cost at least two to three million to buy just one, and that’s if Su Xing was even willing to sell them.

Su Xing clearly had no intention of selling the Essence-Nourishing Pills on a large scale; after all, the Essence-Nourishing Pill was different from the Nourishing Face Pill. If it entered the market, it might attract the attention of the Great Xia Military.

That was still manageable, but what Su Xing truly feared was drawing attention from the Descending Sect. After all, the damned Zong’s actions in the last simulation had caused Su Xing a truly significant psychological trauma.

So, Su Xing only planned to give some Essence-Nourishing Pills to those close to him to help them enhance their strength.

For example, Yu Yan, Jin Congxue, and Wang Qingxuan. In a while, Su Xing thought he might send some Essence-Nourishing Pills to his little sister as well.

Seeing that there was no one around, Su Xing turned and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance.

It was the afternoon of January 21st in the New Era 2024, and Su Xing promptly started the twentieth simulation.
