Although Wang Yi’s words were calm, Xu Liancheng trembled in fear.
“M-my lord, I’m here to deliver the money from the chips to you!”
After saying that, he took out two Black Crystal Cards and handed them over respectfully.
Wang Yi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He had almost forgotten that the Xu family still owed him two billion chips’ worth of money!
Then, Wang Yi smiled and said, “Why? Have you gathered all of them?”
At the side, Xu Liancheng hurriedly said, “Sir, we’ve already gathered the money. There is a total of 2.5 billion yuan in these cards!”
“Of this amount, two billion yuan is the balance from your chips, while the remaining 500,000 yuan is from the Xu family for sparing our lives!”
Wang Yi couldn’t help but nod. Xu Liancheng really knew how to conduct himself. He remembered that there were only about three to four hundred members of the Xu family present that day.
However, Xu Liancheng had gathered all the money and directly gave him 2.5 billion yuan!
“Alright, is there anything else?” Holding two Black Crystal Cards, Wang Yi’s tone was much better as he smiled.
However, what made him speechless was that Xu Liancheng could clearly solve the problem with one card. Why did he have to use two cards? Didn’t he find it troublesome ?!
Seeing that Wang Yi’s attitude had improved, Xu Liancheng heaved a long sigh of relief and said respectfully again, “There’s also another 2.5 billion yuan in the other Black Crystal Card. It’s the compensation for the other families that suppressed the Su family!”
Just as Xu Liancheng finished speaking, the system’s mechanical and emotionless notification suddenly sounded in Wang Yi’s mind!
[Ding! The host has achieved the conditions for upgrading the system!] [Ding! Host, do you want to spend 10 billion yuan to upgrade the system?] Wang Yi’s expression suddenly became extremely strange. He was also puzzled. He was already holding the two cards in his hand.
Why did the system only prompt him after Xu Liancheng was done speaking?
Could it be that if Xu Liancheng hadn’t said anything, this money wouldn’t have been his?
Whatever, whatever!
Since he couldn’t figure it out, Wang Yi didn’t think about it anymore. Anywvray, it was fine as long as he could level up. IA„7hy did he have to care so much?
Wang Yi was no longer as careful as when he first transmigrated. He did not care if anyone was present and directly said in his mind. “Upgrade!”
While the two of them looked as if they had seen a ghost, the two Black Crystal Cards disappeared into thin air. At the same time, the system’s mechanical notification sounded!
[Ding! The system is upgrading…]
[Ding! Estimated time for upgrade: 12 hours. Countdown: 11:59:59!]
Wang Yi looked at the constantly changing countdown and felt very helpless.
If this unreliable system wanted to upgrade, so be it. Why did it have to do this?!
Despite his complaints, there was nothing he could do. After all, the system was the boss and had the final say. If Wang Yi was told to wait, he had to wait!
Since there were still more than ten hours before the upgrade was completed, Wang Yi could not be bothered to continue paying attention to the system.
Instead, he stared at Xu Liancheng with interest. He was originally prepared to upgrade the system after the auction ended.
He did not expect this guy to give him a surprise. He actually sent all the money needed to upgrade the system.
As for the other 2.5 billion yuan, it was compensation from the other five families.
At that time, Wang Yi had openly made things difficult for the Xu family for the sake of the chips.
He had never said that he went to find trouble with them because of the Su family.
However, the Xu family directly brought over the compensation from the few families that had targeted the Su family.
It was obviously impossible for the five families to take the initiative to take out the money this time.
The only explanation was that the Xu family had visited these five families one by one.
As for how the Xu family made them willing to fork out money, that was not important.
There were only two possibilities for the Xu family to know his true motive.
First, someone from the Xu family recognized him and knew that he was the useless son-in-law of the Su family!
Alternatively, there was an expert guiding the Xu family from behind. As for who that expert was, wasn’t there one sitting beside Xu Liancheng?
At the thought of this, Wang Yi glanced at Tang Zhenyu, who was sitting at the side as if nothing had happened!
When Wang Yi looked at him, Tang Zhenyu couldn’t help but shiver and subconsciously shrink his neck.
He thought, “1Vhat’s wrong with him? Why is he looking at me like that?”
However, Wang Yi did not make a fuss about this matter. No matter what the reason was, his system had indeed been upgraded in the end.
This result was what he wanted. As for the process, it didn’t matter!
As Wang Yi stared at Xu Liancheng, Xu Liancheng felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his body. The terrifying pressure made him feel a little dazed.
Just as Xu Liancheng was about to give up, Wang Yi finally spoke. There was a faint smile in his voice as if he was in a good mood. “You’re not bad! You’re very good!”
Then, he said to Tang Zhenyu, “Let’s forget about the matter concerning the Xu family!”
As soon as Wang Yi finished speaking, Xu Liancheng immediately felt the pressure on his body retreat like a falling tide.
He heaved a long sigh of relief. The Xu family was completely safe this time!
He couldn’t help but feel extremely grateful to Tang Zhenyu. It was all thanks to Tang Zhenyu’s idea that he could receive this praise!
With this praise, from now on, as long as the Xu family did not court death, no one would dare to make an issue out of this matter.
His words seemed to have become the Xu family’s life-saving card!
Tang Zhenyu stood up and said respectfully, “Yes, Sir!”
He also understood that the Xu family’s crisis was over.
If they were luclß,’ enough, they might be able to use this opportunity to build a relationship with this person. From then on, their family’s meteoric rise would be unstoppable!
This was all very possible!
“1’ve just opened for business. Are you two interested in being my first guests?”
Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, Wang Yi, who was in a good mood, suddenly spoke.
Both of them were stunned for a moment before they reacted. It was no wonder that when they arrived, they found a huge rock at the door with the words “Fated Cafeteria” engraved on it!
After entering, the room was decorated in the same way as a restaurant. They were still wondering why this person had opened a restaurant at their house!
A grandmaster expert had actually opened a restaurant. If news of this got out, the entrance would probably be broken.
After all, it did not matter if they ate here or not. To be able to meet a grandmaster was something that many people could not even dream of.
After all, grandmasters were mysterious figures. Ordinary people would not have the chance to meet them!
However, there was something else that Tang Zhenyu found even more difficult to accept!
In Xu Liancheng’s eyes, Wang Yi was only a grandmaster. However, Tang Zhenyu knew that Wang Yi was a terrifying existence who could easily obliterate a Rank-9 grandmaster.
However, a highly revered figure like him had actually opened a small restaurant.
Speaking of opening a restaurant, Tang Zhenyu suddenly remembered that he and Fang Mingze had eaten here a few days ago.
Upon thinking of that meal, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.. His food was really delicious!
