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

Lin Xiao was naturally unaware of how Qin Yanan and the other person viewed him after he left.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Xiao hailed a taxi and hurriedly drove back to her small courtyard.

All the way there, his mind was filled with thoughts of the longsword he was about to extract.

I would occasionally take out my phone to glance at the game interface, afraid that something might go wrong with the extraction time.

A dozen minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the courtyard. Lin Xiao paid the fare and practically ran into the courtyard.

He slammed the door shut behind him, and before he could even catch his breath, he eagerly pulled out his phone and opened the game's download page.

[Ding: The longsword retrieval time has expired. You can pay a retrieval fee of 10000 yuan to retrieve the longsword!]

Looking at the prompt on the screen, Lin Xiao's lips twitched.

Sure enough, this lousy game is always trying to rip you off.

It costs 10,000 yuan to extract a broken sword.

Fortunately, compared to the 1.1 million cost of the Fusion Pill, this is just a drop in the ocean; otherwise, this game would have really drained me dry.

Without the slightest hesitation, I paid the withdrawal fee with a tap of my finger.

[Ding: Extraction successful! The longsword has been stored in your inventory and can be retrieved and used at any time!]

"take out!"

As soon as the system notification sounded, a cold white light appeared in Lin Xiao's palm, and a sharp aura instantly spread out.

A long sword, pure white with a sharp blade, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The longsword felt cold and heavy in my hand, with fine patterns engraved on its blade.

Holding it in my hand, I could feel a slight tremor even in my arm.

【Azure Steel Longsword】

[Rank: High-grade Mortal Artifact]

[Effect: Extremely sharp, containing a trace of spiritual energy. When used, it can enhance one's own attack power and has a slight restraining effect on evil entities.]

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he picked up the longsword and went into the courtyard.

He casually swung the longsword a couple of times; it felt smooth in his hand, and the force was just right.

The whistling wind from the sword could even stir the fallen leaves in the corner of the courtyard.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, secretly satisfied.

It was worth spending that 10,000 yuan.

……

In the afternoon, Lin Xiao was preparing to check the game and try to see if he could help Lin Qishuang level up.

A soft knock came at the door, followed by Qin Yanan's voice: "Lin Xiao, are you home? I brought Xiao Li to see you."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

That's incredibly fast!

These people really can't stay idle.

He quickly sheathed his steel sword, strode to the door, and opened it.

Three people were standing at the door. Qin Yanan was in the lead, followed by Li Yunchuan, whose spirits had improved considerably.

Uncle Feng followed behind, and the three of them carried a lot of gifts, with bags and packages piled up to half a person's height.

Li Yunchuan's eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao!" As soon as Li Yunchuan saw Lin Xiao, he immediately stepped forward.

He was about to bow to Lin Xiao when Lin Xiao stopped him.

"No need for formalities," Lin Xiao said calmly, stepping aside to let them in.

"Come in and have a seat. You don't need to bring so much stuff. You're too kind."

The three entered the room. Qin Yanan placed the gifts on the stone table and then said with a smile, "Lin Xiao, Xiao Li is recovering very quickly. The doctor said there's nothing seriously wrong. He insisted on coming over in person to thank you. These are just a small token of our appreciation."

Li Yunchuan looked at Lin Xiao with gratitude and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Brother Lin, I am deeply grateful. If it weren't for you, I would have surely died this time."

I, Li Yunchuan, will remember this life-saving grace for the rest of my life! From now on, whatever you need me for, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!

Uncle Feng also spoke up, his tone becoming very polite: "Young friend Lin, I have offended you before, please forgive me. Little Li's success today is all thanks to your help."

Lin Xiao waved his hand, about to say, "It was no trouble at all."

Li Yunchuan's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at the longsword Lin Xiao had placed on the table, which he hadn't yet put away.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yanan immediately looked at the longsword on the table and asked in surprise, "Lin Xiao, is this the longsword you said you would show me?"

Now that things had come to this, Lin Xiao naturally had no intention of hiding anything. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it was just delivered. Would you like to take a look?"

Qin Yanan's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, carefully reaching out to gently touch the sword's blade, exclaiming in amazement:

"The texture here is extraordinary; it's more exquisite than any magical artifact we've seen before."

Uncle Feng also came over, his fingertips tracing the fine lines on the sword, his expression solemn yet excited.

"Young friend Lin, this sword's edge is restrained yet still sharp; it's at least of a high-level quality. It's an absolute weapon against evil spirits!"

Li Yunchuan's gaze remained fixed on the longsword from beginning to end, his eyes filled with fervor, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up his courage and looked at Lin Xiao, saying in an urgent and sincere tone, "Brother Lin, to tell you the truth, my previous weapon was destroyed when I was fighting the evil spirit."

"This sword... I love it so much, can you sell it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's heart stirred, but he still maintained a calm expression.

He originally took the sword to sell it for money.

Now that this person is actively seeking to buy it, if we can sell it for a good price, we can save up some money.

To cope with the ever-increasing pay-to-win demands of this lousy game, and also to help Lin Qishuang level up and break through to the Golden Core stage sooner.

He deliberately hesitated for a moment before not responding immediately.

Seeing this, Li Yunchuan's heart tightened, and he quickly added, "Brother Lin, don't worry, the price will definitely not be unfair to you!"

I know such a magical artifact is rare. I'm willing to offer two million, no, three million, to buy this green steel longsword!

"Three million?" Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he almost couldn't help but smile.

At the same time, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Li Yunchuan is too extravagant!

How could a broken sword extracted for 10,000 yuan be sold for 3 million?

This was an absolute steal, even more profitable than saving Li Yunchuan.

This lousy game may be a scam, but it has given me a way to make money!

Thinking this to himself, Lin Xiao remained calm and collected on the surface, coughing lightly and saying, "Three million is unnecessary, but since you like it so much, I can sell you this sword."

But let me make this clear from the start: I can't reveal the origin of this sword. If anything happens to you after you buy it, it's not my responsibility.

"No problem! No problem!" Li Yunchuan was overjoyed and nodded vigorously, as if afraid that Lin Xiao would change her mind.

"I'll transfer the money to you right now, Brother Lin. Give me your bank card number!"

Qin Yanan and Uncle Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Feng smiled and said, "Young friend Lin is indeed generous. Three million is a great deal for Little Li."

Lin Xiao gave him her bank card number and watched Li Yunchuan quickly operate his phone, feeling overjoyed.

With three million in hand, plus the two million Qin Yanan had given him before, it was more than winning the lottery.

A few seconds later, Lin Xiao's phone rang with a notification that the three million had been deposited into his account.

He glanced down at his phone, suppressed his excitement, picked up the steel longsword from the table, and handed it to Li Yunchuan, saying, "The money has arrived. Here's the sword. Transaction complete."

Li Yunchuan took the longsword with both hands, carefully held it in his hands, and repeatedly stroked the blade with great affection, his tone full of gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Brother Lin! I will remember this kindness!"

"If Brother Lin ever needs anything in the future, whether it's money or manpower, just ask, and I, Li Yunchuan, will answer without hesitation!"

Qin Yanan watched the two complete the transaction and said with a smile, "Lin Xiao, I didn't expect you to have such a good treasure. If you have anything similar in the future, feel free to let us know. We'll definitely be willing to buy it and won't treat you unfairly."

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded: "We'll see. I'll let you know if there's a suitable one."

The group chatted for a while longer in the courtyard. Qin Yanan and Li Yunchuan mostly told Lin Xiao to ask if he needed anything, and Uncle Feng also apologized from time to time, his attitude having changed drastically.

Lin Xiao responded half-heartedly, but her mind was already wandering into the game.

He planned to upgrade and break through Lin Qishuang's level as soon as the group left.

After sitting for another ten minutes or so, Qin Yanan noticed that Lin Xiao seemed somewhat distracted, so she tactfully got up to say goodbye.

"Lin Xiao, we won't disturb your rest any longer. We'll head back now. Little Li still needs to rest well. We'll come to see you again when we have time."

Li Yunchuan quickly sheathed his sword and bowed to Lin Xiao.

"Brother Lin, farewell! Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything!"

Lin Xiao nodded, got up and saw them to the door. Only after watching the three figures disappear into the alley did he impatiently close the courtyard gate.

He took out his phone, looked at the money in his balance, and couldn't help but smile.

This is a huge profit!
