I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

"Why would you choose to hang out with that poor kid named Lin Yuan when there are so many elite teams available?"

"Although I heard that Lin Yuan got first place in the grade, he awakened a tank class. What future does he have?"

In the eyes of businessmen, value determines everything.

A poor student with no background and a job that's just cannon fodder is clearly not worth his son's much effort.

Just then.

"Bang!"

The villa's gate was suddenly pushed open.

A dark red figure, exuding an extremely fierce aura, strode in.

"Old Deng! I'm back!"

Xia Chen's voice was loud and clear, with a hint of boastfulness.

Xia Changfeng was about to lose his temper and teach this disrespectful son a lesson.

However, when his gaze fell on Xia Chen, the reprimand that was about to come out caught in his throat.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of expensive red wine.

Xia Changfeng didn't even bother to wipe his mouth. He suddenly stood up and stared intently at Xia Chen's equipment, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Xia Chen did not have any hidden equipment effects at this time.

He wore a menacing dark red heavy armor, with spikes at the joints and patterns on the surface that resembled blood.

He carried a thick spiked club on his back, exuding a chilling aura of brutality.

He looked like a ferocious beast that had just crawled out of hell!

As the president of the chamber of commerce, how sharp is Xia Changfeng's vision?

He recognized the extraordinary nature of this equipment at a glance!

"This...this is..."

Xia Changfeng's voice was trembling.

"A silver-tier set?!"

"And it's the Goblin King set!"

Xia Chen felt incredibly pleased to see his father acting so unsophisticated!

Old Deng used to say that he had poor judgment and made bad friends.

Today, he's going to give that old Deng a good slap in the face!

"How is it? Handsome, right?"

Xia Chen patted the plate armor on his chest triumphantly, making a dull metallic clang.

"This is what Yuan and I farmed in the secret realm!"

"A full set of silver gear! Top-tier attributes!"

Xia Changfeng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"A secret realm? Which secret realm can drop three Goblin King equipment pieces at once?"

Xia Changfeng looked suspicious.

Xia Chen chuckled: "Yuanzi obtained a secret realm scroll and took me and Ouyang Xue to the [Forgotten Goblin Vault]."

"The Forgotten Goblin Treasury?"

Xia Changfeng was obviously aware of this secret realm as well.

"What level are you? What level is Lin Yuan?"

"Can the two of you together even beat the elite gatekeeper monster? And you even managed to get the Goblin King set?"

"This is a rare item dropped only by Silver-tier bosses!"

Xia Chen rolled her eyes and immediately revealed her level.

[LV15]!

"Look carefully!"

"I am Xia Chen, a level 15 Berserker!"

"This equipment was dropped by the Goblin King that we killed ourselves!"

"And this too!"

Xia Chen waved his hand, and a huge pile of materials was dumped onto the expensive carpet.

At the very top, a crystal core radiating a dazzling silver light almost blinded Xia Changfeng.

[Goblin King Crystal Core (Silver)]!

Xia Changfeng fell completely silent.

He looked at the pile of top-quality materials, then at his son's priceless equipment, and finally his gaze settled on the level 15.

His keen business sense made him realize something instantly.

"son."

Xia Changfeng's tone became more serious than ever before.

"Tell me the truth."

"Who exactly is this Lin Yuan?"

"An ordinary tank could never carry you through 7 levels in a single day, let alone kill a silver-level boss!"

Xia Chen pursed her lips, looking proud.

"Tch, I told you long ago, Yuan-ge is a genius!"

"You just won't believe me, and you insist that he's a poor boy."

"Let me tell you, not only is Brother Yuan incredibly tanky, but his damage output is ridiculously high!"

"A silver-level boss is nothing but a little brother in front of him!"

Hearing his son's description, Xia Changfeng's heart was filled with turmoil.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, the data doesn't lie, and the materials don't lie.

That Lin Yuan must have awakened some incredible talent!

This is a giant that has yet to fully mature!

"Looks like I misjudged him..."

Xia Changfeng muttered to himself, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He immediately changed his demeanor, his face beaming with a kind smile.

"Okay! Okay!"

"As expected of my son, Xia Changfeng! His taste comes just like mine!"

Xia Chen: "..."

That old man, he changes his tune so quickly.

"Cough cough."

Xia Changfeng pointed to the materials on the ground.

"Did Lin Yuan ask you to bring all of these back?"

"right."

Xia Chen nodded.

"Brother Yuan said his backpack was full and he was too lazy to sell it at the small business association, so he asked me to sell it to him at the market price."

"Especially that crystal core, Brother Yuan said it's worth ten million."

"Ten million?"

Xia Changfeng raised an eyebrow.

While the price isn't low, it's definitely a bargain for such a top-quality crystal core.

If you put it up for auction, it could fetch twelve million!

"Son, you did the right thing this time."

Xia Changfeng quickly made a decision in his mind.

The total value of the materials on the ground, including the crystal core, is approximately 15 million.

Fifteen million gold coins!

This is an astronomical sum for a newcomer who has just switched jobs!

"Transfer immediately!"

Xia Changfeng waved his hand without any hesitation.

"Round the difference and transfer 16 million to Lin Yuan!"

Xia Chen: "Is this how you round down the price?"

"The extra million is a small token of our Xia Clan Chamber of Commerce's appreciation, and also an apology for our previous misjudgment."

Xia Chen was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up.

"Old Deng, even though you're usually pretty stingy, this time you're really generous!"

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.

But Xia Changfeng knew that simply giving money would seem too distant.

Lin Yuan currently has over ten million in hand and is not short of money at all.

To truly befriend such a future powerhouse, you must give him something he desperately needs right now, something he can't buy with money.

"Give away silver equipment?"

Xia Changfeng thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"No, I heard that this kid has a close relationship with Elder Zhou of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Since he knows Old Zhou, this kid must have plenty of good equipment."

"Then what should we send...?"

Xia Changfeng paced back and forth in the living room, his mind racing as he searched through the treasures in the storeroom.

Sudden.

He paused, a flicker of pain crossing his eyes, but it quickly turned into resolve.

"Got it!"

"He absolutely cannot refuse this!"
