Chapter 3 My in-game CP is a Sugar Mama?

"I still have over five hundred pieces of fashion, with more than two hundred pieces for both men and women. Are you sure you want them all?"

Zhang Chunlin's voice came through.

"Not just those. I also want to get a complete set of the Archmage set, preferably +10 or higher. Didn't I see a +12 Archmage weapon on the forum that's been reduced to 300,000? Could you ask about it for me and buy it directly if possible?"

Lin Chen mentioned some of his requirements.

Zhang Chunlin was definitely more professional when it came to acquiring equipment.

Moreover, he was Lin Chen's classmate.

Lin Chen knew Zhang Chunlin's character well.

The fact that he had managed to make such a name for himself in the game in just two or three years meant that his reputation was definitely solid.

For merchants in games, reputation was everything.

Zhang Chunlin was a person who valued his reputation greatly.

"Good heavens, you're really going all out!"

Zhang Chunlin exclaimed before saying, "Alright, get online. I'll send you gold coins and pet eggs first… You want all the rare pet eggs and above, right?"

"Yes! Send me the gold coins first so I can open up the warehouse… Also, from now on, I want all the equipment enhancement stones, as many as you have. I'll take them all at market price."

Lin Chen was being very generous.

Currently, the price of gold coins had fallen to around 20,000 for 100 million.

Ten billion was only 200,000 yuan.

Rare pet eggs were obtained randomly, but they could also be synthesized. A rare-quality pet egg used to cost at least 10,000 yuan, but now you could get one for 100 yuan.

As a merchant, Zhang Chunlin definitely had a lot of them.

At least a thousand.

That was another 100,000 yuan or so.

Then there were the enhancement stones, and three pieces of Archmage equipment…

【Archmage Hurricane Pendant +10】

【Level: 100】

【Attribute: Spirit +750 (750)】

【Trait: Heart of the Archmage, Effect: Increases maximum mana by 20%, restores 2% mana per second】

【Special Skill: Enhances Wind Blade skill. At max level, Wind Blade adds frost effect, reducing target's movement speed by 50% and reducing target's magic resistance by 15%.】

……

【Archmage Hurricane War Boots +10】

【Level: 100】

【Attribute: Spirit +500 (500), Agility +250 (250)】

【Trait: Surge, Effect: Any spell that hits the target will gain a brief one-second shift effect, the direction of the shift can be whatever you want!】

【Special Skill: Instant Transfer, Effect: After actively using, can instantly appear at any location within 30 yards. Cooldown time: 5 minutes!】

……

【Archmage Hurricane Armor +10】

【Level: 100】

【Attribute: Spirit +500 (500), Constitution +250 (250)】

【Trait: Divine Protection, Effect: When suffering fatal damage, the armor will erupt with energy to withstand the attack instead, and then immediately refresh the cooldown time of all skills and items. The armor will shatter after triggering (durability returns to zero, attribute fails, repairable).】

【Special Skill: Archmage Shield, Effect: Gain a shield that is 30% of your health after opening. Cooldown time: 5 minutes!】

Zhang Chunlin had a good stock.

With *New World* not having opened the level cap yet, level 100 was already the maximum level.

This set of equipment was also known as the strongest equipment for wind mages.

Of course, Lin Chen knew that *New World* would soon release its final expansion pack.

Then there would be new maps.

In addition, the level cap would also be raised to level 120.

But this didn't stop Lin Chen from first assembling the Hurricane Archmage set.

After all, if your own strength wasn't strong enough, even if a new expansion pack was opened, you wouldn't be able to beat it then.

The three pieces of Archmage Hurricane equipment were very expensive.

The difference between them and the weapon on the forum was only in the enhancement level.

The enhancement level was two levels lower.

It was much cheaper.

After all, enhancing to +10 or higher required many special materials.

So here, Zhang Chunlin's quote was 200,000 yuan per piece.

Lin Chen took them all, plus the enhancement stones and other materials, which came to more than 800,000 yuan. Adding in the fashion and pet eggs and 10 billion gold coins, the total came to almost 1.2 million!

Lin Chen paid the money promptly.

You had to know that before the server shutdown announcement, so many things would have been worth at least 200 to 300 million!

At this time, Liu Mengyao came online.

【Meng Li Yaoguang: Lin Chen, I'm sorry, I overslept…】

【Lin Zhong Chenxi: I just got online too.】

【Meng Li Yaoguang: Oh.】

Judging from Liu Mengyao's response, she seemed a little unhappy.

【Lin Zhong Chenxi: What's wrong?】

【Meng Li Yaoguang: Do you think this game is completely meaningless? If it were before, you wouldn't have come online so late.】

So that was it.

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

He was about to reply when Liu Mengyao's message came again.

【Meng Li Yaoguang: If you really don't want to play anymore, then tell me. I won't force you… If you want to play other games, I'll go with you!】

They had been together for two years.

Although they had only been online.

But Lin Chen always felt that Liu Mengyao seemed to be very familiar with everything about him.

They could be considered confidants.

Lin Chen was also familiar with many of Liu Mengyao's habits.

Lin Chen didn't explain Liu Mengyao's misunderstanding.

【Lin Zhong Chenxi: Join the party, come to the warehouse.】

【Meng Li Yaoguang: Oh!】

Soon, Liu Mengyao joined the party and then came to the side of the warehouse.

Lin Chen first turned on equipment sharing so that Liu Mengyao could see it, and then gave Liu Mengyao permission to view his warehouse.

The two also turned on voice chat.

"Wow, so many pet eggs. You even have an Archmage set?"

Liu Mengyao was very surprised.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I came online late today because I went to get these things… Aren't they all dropping in price now? Things I couldn't buy before, I can buy now. I said I would play with you until the last second. If we're going to play, then let's play properly! After I get all our equipment, and we have the strength, I'll go to the Twin Heart Lake dungeon with you and go to the Heavenly Palace map together…"

"The monsters in the Heavenly Palace map are too powerful. We… You just said you helped me get equipment too?"

Liu Mengyao said in shock, "It wouldn't be the Moon God set, would it?"

The level 100 Priest's top-tier set, the Moon God set!

Even now, it wouldn't be cheaper than the Archmage Hurricane set.

It would cost more than a million.

This was still the price after the big drop… One could imagine how much it would have cost before, at least hundreds of millions.

The game, which was popular with billions of players around the world, had many rich bigwigs, and even many consortia had set up shop in it, so the prices were so expensive before.

But now, everything was at a fire-sale price!

"Yes, I've already had someone help us get it."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Let's not do anything else now, and focus on combining these pet eggs. We should be able to combine two mythical-level eggs."

"Where did you get so much money? You wouldn't be…"

Liu Mengyao didn't rush to take advantage of Lin Chen. There seemed to be a hint of what she suspected in her voice, and suddenly she was a little more moved. Then she said, "No, this is my dream. I can't let you spend all the money alone. I still have some pocket money. I'll give it all to you!"

What she was thinking was that she wanted to play until the game shut down. This was her own idea, and now Lin Chen was putting in so much effort to fulfill her dream, so she wanted to do her part too.

"No need."

Lin Chen refused.

What he was thinking was that he needed a helper, and he got along well with Liu Mengyao. Mainly, Liu Mengyao had become a shield for his crazy acquisition of game equipment and props.

So, it was nothing to get Liu Mengyao a set of equipment.

The only bad thing was that the money was being spent too quickly.

Three million from selling the house, the money borrowed from the phone, plus Tiger's money, totaled six million.

Now there was 4.8 million left.

When Zhang Chunlin had both sets of equipment, it would probably cost another two million.

But there were still many things to buy.

Leaving aside the rest.

Lin Chen had seen people after the game invaded reality.

At that time, even some of the main cities in the game had completely descended on Blue Star.

That was why Lin Chen wanted so many gold coins…

He even wanted more!

Lin Chen wanted to directly buy a city to see if the city would belong to him after the game invaded reality!

So the current Lin Chen was actually very short of money.

However, no matter how short of money he was, he couldn't take Liu Mengyao's pocket money.

How much could she have?

Seeing Lin Chen refuse, Liu Mengyao said instead, "Take it, although it's not much, but… at least it can buy a relic. I mean… a relic from before."

Relic!

What was a relic?

Like the Hurricane Holy Pendant in the Archmage Hurricane set, that was a relic.

The current price was 200,000.

But what Liu Mengyao was talking about was before the price crash…

Lin Chen was surprised and said after a long while, "So you're so rich. A relic used to cost at least six million, right? You have so much pocket money?"

"I saved up all my New Year's money from when I was little, and I still have a lot of pocket money that I haven't used!" Liu Mengyao smiled.

"Wow, I just found out that you're a sugar mommy…"

Lin Chen was indeed shocked.

Six million in pocket money?

What kind of family was this!

However, Lin Chen also remembered that before his rebirth, when the game invaded reality, Liu Mengyao was in a hurry to save him and even made a phone call. It seemed like she was being held up by a level 90 boss…

A priest, fighting a level 90 boss alone. This meant that Liu Mengyao's equipment was very strong!

In other words, the last time, after Lin Chen sold his account, Liu Mengyao, who continued to want to play, later spent a lot of money to buy equipment… It was as if what Lin Chen was belatedly doing now was actually what Liu Mengyao would have done anyway.

Then Lin Chen didn't have any psychological pressure!

"I've transferred the money to your card, the one you gave me the card number for last time… From now on, I'll pay half of the money you spend in the game, and if you don't have enough, you must tell me, you hear?"

Liu Mengyao put her hands on her hips, looking a little angry.

But the next moment, Lin Chen directly sent an invitation to hug.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Mengyao said, but she immediately accepted the invitation.

At this moment, Lin Chen felt very warm.

And also… comfortable!

With this money from Liu Mengyao, Lin Chen wouldn't have to worry about money matters next.
