Which way to go is the road?

Xiang Fei used the money to buy a piece of equipment, the most valuable high-agility shoes in the game—Level 5 Lotus Silk Cloud-Walking Boots!

To buy these shoes, Xiang Fei racked his brains and used every trick in the book, even finding a few trusted friends in the game to act as shills!

The specific method is to have them ask the seller for the price one by one, keep lowering the price, and finally refuse to trade because they still think it's too expensive. Repeat this several times, and the other party's mentality will inevitably change, and their psychological expectations for the item will decrease.

At this point, it's not advisable to act rashly. Let the transaction cool down for a few days, and when the other party is disheartened, send a warm greeting and strike while the iron is hot to finalize the deal!

The final transaction price was 10,200 yuan. For someone who has never played games, it's unbelievable that a virtual item could sell for that price! But compared to the market price at the time, it was already considered very low.

Xiang Fei originally wanted to round down the two hundred yuan and give a round number of ten thousand, but seeing that the other party was on the verge of emotional collapse, he decisively gave up on continuing to bargain.

Having learned from his previous experience buying game equipment, Xiang Fei was very obedient this time, informing Bai Xue beforehand. He did this for two reasons: first, Xiang Fei felt uneasy about spending such a large sum on items, and only with Bai Xue's approval could he feel at ease; second, Bai Xue's understanding of the game far surpassed Xiang Fei's, allowing her to provide guidance and assistance during the purchase process.

Have you made up your mind?

"I haven't decided yet. I'm waiting for your support. If you disagree, I'll return the money to Xiangzi immediately!"

"You've spent such a large sum of money, how are you going to pay it back later?"

"Following Xiangzi's method, once I get the credit card, I'll cash out and pay him back! Then I'll apply for installment payments, and I can afford the monthly payment of 1000 yuan! I'll pay it off in a year, and I can sell this divine weapon at any time during that period!" Xiang Fei said, somewhat proudly, as he talked about his perfect plan.

Bai Xue wasn't angry at her boyfriend's reckless behavior. On the contrary, she admired Xiang Fei's plan quite a bit. Seeing Xiang Fei's radiant appearance, she couldn't help but go up and kiss him.

"Then let's buy it!"

The idea of ​​"finding a shill to lower the price" came from Bai Xue. When the transaction was successfully completed, Bai Xue was very happy, not because she saved Xiang Fei a lot of money, but because a romantic thought suddenly popped into her head.

Bai Xue glanced at Xiang Fei, who was standing there dumbfounded and grinning foolishly, and a character from a martial arts novel came to mind—Guo Jing! He was Guo Jing, and she was Huang Rong. She looked in the mirror and found that her quirky and clever appearance did not disgrace Huang Rong's image. In particular, the process of using a little trick to help Xiang Fei was no less ingenious than Huang Rong's clever ideas.

Thinking of this, Bai Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud, leaving Xiang Fei completely bewildered and confused.

Dong Lu had the strongest reaction to Xiang Fei's "huge investment" in the game.

"You've gone mad! Xiang Fei, completely mad!"

When Dong Lu learned of Xiang Fei's actions, her eyes practically blazed with fury, but she spoke coldly and calmly, revealing a sense of anger at his lack of ambition and sorrow for his misfortune.

"It's okay, Lulu! I agreed to this. Xiang Fei has his own repayment plan. He has a job, and paying the monthly installment won't be a problem for him! Besides, Xiang Fei bought it cheaply, so he might even make a profit..." Bai Xue couldn't help but speak up for Xiang Fei, trying her best to calm Dong Lu's anger.

"Bai Xue, Xiang Fei is your boyfriend, not some online friend you play games with. You can't keep getting him to invest money and pushing him into a fire!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xue became somewhat displeased: "How did I push him into a fire pit? Did I tell him to invest money in the game? Xiang Fei, tell me, did I tell you to do this?"

"No!" To be fair, Xiang Fei always made his own decisions when he invested money in the game. Bai Xue never forced him; at most, she just encouraged him.

"So he jumped into the fire pit, and you didn't stop him?"

"How is it a fire pit? Is a game a fire pit? Everyone plays in the game, and no one has been burned to death!" Bai Xue's anger, unreasonable and fierce appearance surprised everyone present.

"He's your boyfriend, you should be looking out for him. What can you get out of a game besides temporary pleasure? Tell me! He can pay it off in a year, yes, he can! But he'll waste another year on games! You and I are still in school, it's fine for us to play a little, but Xiang Fei is already working, he should have his own dreams and career, not be immersed in the virtual world! Bai Xue, do you understand?"

Driven by her emotions, Dong Lu has lost her usual emotional intelligence and committed a cardinal sin in relationships between women, causing Bai Xue's emotions to spiral out of control as well. Zhang Fang and Xiang Fei tried to mediate, but ordinary efforts couldn't extinguish this burning passion; they were powerless to stop it!

"You know Xiang Fei is my boyfriend. How I treat my boyfriend is none of your business. Besides, your boyfriend is Zhang Fang. Just mind your own business and don't interfere with my boyfriend!" Bai Xue shouted.

When these people were making noise in hushed tones, everyone was used to seeing them together and didn't pay much attention. But when the two women started arguing hysterically, the sound even echoed in the empty lobby, and the internet addicts who weren't wearing headphones immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Beautiful women always attract attention in internet cafes. Dong Lu and Bai Xue are goddesses in this internet cafe. The quarrel between the goddesses immediately attracted everyone's attention. The entire first floor internet area fell silent, with only two voices shouting!

"Alright! What do you think this place is? What's all the noise about? Xiang Fei, Dong Lu, Bai Xue, Zhang Fang, you four get up here!" Qian Luomei, who had somehow come downstairs, saw that if she didn't stop the commotion, it would only escalate further: "Everyone else, disperse. Those who are online, go online. Those who aren't, do what you need to do. What are you grown men doing watching this commotion!"

The four of them followed Qian Luomei through the rooftop door to the attic. Xiang Fei and Zhang Fang walked side by side, separated by two balls of Samadhi True Fire, yet they always felt as if they were about to be roasted.

"Xiang Fei, what kind of magical weapon have you bought this time? Don't you know your own limitations? Why are you trying to put on a show?"

"I realized I was dragging the team down, so I wanted to improve my skills!"

"We're not necessarily aiming for first or second place. Why are you spending so much money on a game? Do you have that much money?"

"Didn't you and Zhang Fang invest just as much money?" Xiang Fei said, feeling wronged.

"I..." Qian Luomei opened her mouth, but found herself at a loss for words. She couldn't very well say, "You're not as rich as us!" So she sighed, "Maybe I was wrong; I shouldn't have let you play this game."

Qian Luomei looked at the four people, thinking about how to reconcile their relationship. Several minutes passed, but she still had no idea and sighed to herself.

"I've been thinking about how to mediate between you two, but then I thought, we're both adults, we shouldn't act impulsively. I heard your conversation just now, it all got to that point because of the heated words. Now tell me, do you two really hate each other that much?"

Bai Xue and Dong Lu glanced at each other, said nothing, and lowered their heads.
