What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Qin Yanan carefully stroked the cloud patterns on the jade pendant, pretending to be very fond of it, her tone filled with surprise.

"Brother Lin, your jade pendant is so exquisite, how could it be a worthless piece of junk?"

"Judging by its texture and patterns, it's a top-quality piece, far superior to any jade pendant I've ever seen."

Lin Xiao chuckled inwardly, but outwardly feigned ignorance and said:

"Really? I thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant. I've worn it since I was little. I only had to wear it this time because of medical treatment..."

He pretended to be ignorant and followed Qin Yanan's lead, hoping to get her to ask to buy the jade pendant.

Qin Yanan looked up at him, a gentle smile playing on her lips, and said, "Brother Lin, to be honest, I've always loved collecting jade pendants, and I really love this one of yours."

"How about this, I'll treat you to dinner, and then I'll give you some money to buy this jade pendant. What do you think?"

"They're here!" Lin Xiao thought to himself with delight, but on the surface he pretended to be hesitant.

"This...this isn't right, Miss Qin, is it? This jade pendant is really worthless, you don't need to pay me. If you like it, just take it."

He deliberately declined in order to get Qin Yanan to offer a higher price.

Qin Yanan could easily see through his thoughts, and said with a smile:

"Brother Lin, don't be so polite with me. Since I want your jade pendant, I definitely have to pay you, otherwise I'd feel bad."

At this point, Qin Yanan paused slightly before continuing, "How about this, I'll give you ten thousand yuan, is that alright?"

"Ten thousand yuan?!" Lin Xiao's eyes widened instantly, and he almost shouted out loud.

He originally thought that he would be lucky to sell it for a thousand or so yuan.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yanan directly offered 10,000 yuan!

This was far more than he had expected; it was like a windfall!

He suppressed his overwhelming joy and pretended to be flattered.

"Ten thousand yuan? Miss Qin, that's too much. This jade pendant isn't worth that much at all!"

"Not much, not much." Qin Yanan smiled and shook her head, carefully putting the jade pendant away.

"In my opinion, if you like something, it's worth the price. Besides, we're neighbors, so it's only right that we help each other out."

"Let's go, Lin. There's a nice home-style restaurant nearby. I'll treat you to dinner, and I'll transfer the money to you afterward."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Miss Qin! Thank you so much!"

Lin Xiao nodded quickly, unable to hide the smile on her face any longer.

Ten thousand yuan! A single jade pendant sold for ten thousand yuan.

And you can even get a free meal, this is a huge win!

The two walked out of the courtyard side by side, with Qin Yanan walking beside her, occasionally chatting with Lin Xiao about trivial matters.

Most of the questions they asked were how he was feeling lately, and whether he had found a job.

Lin Xiao was very careful to avoid saying anything more, for fear of revealing her secret.

Soon, the two arrived at a nearby home-style restaurant.

Qin Yanan found a seat by the window, picked up the menu, and skillfully ordered several dishes, all of which were the hearty dishes that Lin Xiao usually couldn't bear to eat.

"Brother Lin, please eat whatever you like. Don't be shy. Consider it my way of thanking you for selling me the jade pendant."

Lin Xiao didn't stand on ceremony, after all, his stomach was growling with hunger, and Qin Yanan was being so generous, so why not take advantage of it?

While waiting for the food, Qin Yanan would occasionally inquire about the origin of the jade pendant.

Lin Xiao followed the lie she had prepared beforehand, saying that she had carried it with her since childhood and didn't know its specific origin.

Qin Yanan didn't ask any more questions, but the probing look in her eyes didn't diminish at all.

Lin Xiao knew that Qin Yanan definitely suspected the origin of the jade pendant.

But he wasn't afraid; as long as he didn't admit it, nothing could happen to him.

Moreover, the jade pendant has already been sold.

After getting the money, they would extract other items to resell, extracting as much as possible as quickly as possible.

Even if Qin Yanan has some ulterior motives, I will be confident in dealing with them.

The dishes were served quickly, and Lin Xiao could no longer resist. He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

Since being diagnosed with stomach cancer, he has never been able to eat a proper meal.

Now that I've cleansed my marrow and meridians, my stomach and intestines are much better.

They ate with extra relish, and in no time they had finished a whole bowl of rice.

Qin Yanan watched him wolf down his food, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Lin Xiao may seem honest and simple, but he is actually very shrewd and harbors a big secret.

This jade pendant, still imbued with the aura of immortality, is just the beginning.

Qin Yanan remembered the Thunder Talisman from before.

There must be more of these qualities in this person.

If we keep probing, we'll eventually uncover his secrets.

After finishing her meal, Qin Yanan didn't hesitate at all. She took out her phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to Lin Xiao.

Seeing the notification on her phone that the money had arrived, Lin Xiao was overjoyed.

A genuine smile appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice, "Thank you very much, Miss Qin!"

"You're welcome, Brother Lin," Qin Yanan said with a smile.

"If you have any similar gadgets in the future, or if you're looking for a job, feel free to contact me. I'll definitely help you if I can."

She deliberately extended an olive branch in order to win over Lin Xiao and make it easier to uncover his secrets later.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, thank you, Miss Qin. I'll definitely come to you if I ever need anything in the future."

He said this aloud, but secretly he was thinking something to himself.

Looking for you? Forget it!

You're too shrewd, woman. If I get too close to you, I'll get screwed over sooner or later.

However, if I need to sell anything in the future, I can come to you again, since you are very generous.

The two walked out of the restaurant side by side, as the night grew darker.

Back in the courtyard of the rented house, Qin Yanan smiled and said goodbye to Lin Xiao, "Brother Lin, thank you for tonight. I really like the jade pendant. You should get some rest too."

"Miss Qin, you should also get some rest." Lin Xiao quickly replied, watching Qin Yanan walk upstairs to the second floor.

Only after her figure disappeared at the top of the stairs did he breathe a sigh of relief, and a joyful smile once again appeared on his face.

He hurriedly returned to his room, closed the door, and took out his phone.

Seeing the 10,000 yuan deposited into the bank account, I couldn't help but feel excited.

"Hahaha! Ten thousand dollars! This junk in the game can actually sell for so much money!"

Qin Yanan, though shrewd, is incredibly generous!

He then opened his game inventory, looking at the copper bell and ancient books inside, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

In the room on the second floor, Qin Yanan held the dragon-patterned jade pendant she had bought, her eyes gleaming with shrewdness.

She traced the dragon pattern on the jade pendant with her fingertips, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Lin Xiao, just wait, one day I will dig out all the secrets you have..."
