「The next morning.」
Su Chen was up bright and early. He had no choice, really. He had to visit that elder today, so he needed to dress and groom himself properly.
After busying himself getting ready and eating breakfast, Su Chen noticed it was just eight o’clock. Remembering the time he had agreed upon with Xiao Chen, Su Chen found his favorite lounge chair and lay down again.
"Sigh, I don’t know why I was in such a rush." Although he said that, he had tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. His mind had been filled with thoughts of what it would be like to meet Elder Xiao.
Just as he lay down, Su Chen shot back up with a WHOOSH. "What a pig-brain I am! I’m visiting someone and didn’t even prepare a gift."
It was only then that Su Chen remembered he hadn’t prepared a gift. It was too late to buy one now; he could only see if there was anything presentable in his collection room at home.
With that, Su Chen took Chen Fei down the elevator to the basement. He wandered around the collection room and found that the only thing remotely presentable was some fifty-year-aged wine. As for the other items... he’d rather not embarrass himself.
"Ah Fei, take a case of the fifty-year-old wine to the car."
Chen Fei knew Su Chen’s schedule for the day, so without a moment’s hesitation, he picked up a case of wine and headed for the garage.
Looking at the items in the collection room, there really wasn’t anything particularly valuable besides the wine.
Su Chen pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Looks like I need to add some new things to the collection room."
The moment the words left his mouth, a system notification sounded in Su Chen’s mind.
"DING! The God of Wealth Blind Box has been available for ten days. The Host is advised to purchase it in a timely manner."
Hearing the system’s notification, Su Chen slapped his forehead. "How could I have forgotten something so important?"
He hurriedly summoned the system interface. When Su Chen saw the price of the God of Wealth Blind Box, he was stunned.
One yuan!
This February’s God of Wealth Blind Box only cost one yuan. His excitement instantly cooled by more than half.
After a moment of contemplation, operating on the principle of not letting things go to waste, Su Chen bought the one-yuan blind box with the last embers of his anticipation.
"Let’s hope for a miracle!"
"System, open the God of Wealth Blind Box!"
He thought it would be like before, with the system simply revealing the item from the blind box. Who knew that this time, it would be different.
The God of Wealth Blind Box shook a few times, and the moment it opened, it burst forth with a brilliant light. It felt just like getting a top-tier item drop in a video game.
