Chapter 27:

The next day, when Yun Shan logged in, apart from the endless questions, she unexpectedly received a message from someone.

Courageous to the Extreme: “Have the last two registration codes been sold? If not, can you give them to me? I’ll pay 30 million for one.”

Yun Shan, “…”

Yun Shan: “I didn’t realize you were actually a wealthy person?”

The person happened to be online and immediately replied upon seeing the message, “Where could that be! I’m just an ordinary poor person.”

“Mainly, I have many friends, and one of them is interested in the registration codes. They hope I can act as an intermediary and purchase the remaining quota from you.”

“Only because it’s you as the trading partner, I wouldn’t agree if it were someone else.”

Yun Shan: “Have you become addicted to being a middleman? How much are you making this time?”

Courageous to the Extreme: “Hey, just earning a little something, not much.”

Yun Shan: “You’re not being honest, speak up.”

Courageous to the Extreme: “…35 million for one registration code, 70 million for two. The exact profit depends on one’s abilities. Anyway, after deducting the amount paid to you, the remaining part is the commission.”

“Acting as an intermediary, netting a million, it’s easy money.” Yun Shan sighed.

Courageous to the Extreme: “…Are they still for sale?”

Courageous to the Extreme: “The price is negotiable, let’s discuss further.”

Courageous to the Extreme: “I can earn a little less.”

As Yun Shan was contemplating, her response was delayed, and she received three consecutive messages from the other side.

Yun Shan smiled, “I’m only selling the registration codes for 3 million each. How much you make from reselling them is entirely up to your abilities. If you can find a buyer, it’s because of your wide network, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, once the money is received, and the registration codes are in place.”

Courageous to the Extreme: “I admire straightforward people like you, group leader!!”

After saying this, he promptly transferred 6 million.

Yun Shan provided him with the last two registration codes and then posted a message in the group, “5 registration codes sold out, don’t disturb. @everyone”

She repaid her medical expenses, and then happily logged into the game.

***

In just one day, Yun Shan sold all the registration codes, earning a net of 15 million; received dividends from the purple grass ointment, totaling 11,000 points; sold the formulas for the healing potion and the revitalizing elixer, and agreed to a 30% profit split, making her feel like she had become rich overnight.

Seeing Lu Ming again, Yun Shan felt he had an elegant brow and eyes like cold stars, making him look handsomer than ever. It was as if he was radiating a golden glow from head to toe.

“Are you hungry? Is there anything you’d like to eat?”

Lu Ming said softly, “Anything, I’m not picky.”

You Yi glanced sideways, hiding the astonishment in his eyes.

“In that case, I’ll just make something simple.” Yun Shan cheerfully entered the kitchen.

Shortly after, three dishes, a soup, and a bowl of rice were served.

“Radish salad, refreshing and appetizing, aids digestion.”

“Roasted pork belly, coated with special sauce, rich but not greasy, tender and juicy.”

“Sliced roast duck, with duck meat, skin, shredded scallions, cucumber, and special sweet bean sauce, the taste is absolutely unique.”

“Fresh lotus seed and chicken soup, has a calming and sleep-inducing effect, also helps with palpitations and restlessness.”

“Each dish isn’t large, try them all.” Yun Shan said as she handed the chopsticks to Lu Ming.

As expected, Lu Ming was as modest as he claimed. Not only did he eat all the dishes, but he also had two bowls of rice.

After the meal, Lu Ming showed a hint of the right amount of drowsiness, “I need to rest.”

You Yi cleared the table, then left with Yun Shan. It wasn’t until they were out the door that he said, “Lord isn’t feeling well, I hope the doctor can understand.”

Yun Shan didn’t mind, “It’s fine, quite cute.”

Righteous, “…”

The tone, the words, it was really difficult for him not to misunderstand.

…

In the wilderness.

A gray-named male player named “Bai Jingjiang” punched Lionhead Geese and kicked Mossland Wolves. After he had defeated all the beasts in his line of sight, he grinned, “The ‘Doomsday Camp’ game lives up to its name, the battle process is really interesting.”

Bai Shenghua said calmly, “I told you a long time ago, don’t tell me you thought I was lying to you?”

“Isn’t it the first time you’ve experienced this yourself?” The youth named “Bai Jingjiang” said with a playful smile, “If I had known the game was this fun, I would definitely have been here every week to grab the registration codes.”

He had tried twice before but there were too many competitors, and the success rate was too low, so he gave up.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that his cousin had such great abilities, to actually obtain even the game’s registration codes!

“Where did the registration codes come from? Can you get another batch?” Bai Jingjiang calculated, he knew quite a few skilled brothers. If they entered the game together, they would definitely achieve great things.

“Registration codes are hard to come by, don’t even think about it.” Bai Shenghua said bluntly.

As he spoke, he thought of Yun Shan and had some other thoughts in mind.

Kang Peng stood in front of the mirror, repeatedly checking the stubble on his scalp, his mouth madly upturned, “Zeyang, look! My hair is growing back!!”

“I see, I see.” Kang Zeyang replied indifferently.

For three days in a row, his younger uncle had been excitedly sharing the joy of his hair growth. He had gone from genuine happiness for his younger uncle to feeling calm, and now he was completely indifferent.

However, Kang Peng’s face was filled with ecstatic joy, and his excited mood couldn’t be contained, “Hair loss might not be a big deal, but it really can be distressing. I’ve been troubled by it for several years!”

Reflecting on the past, he sighed, “I’ve tried hair tonics, folk remedies, but they just didn’t work. Your aunt even suggested I wear a wig, saying no one would notice. I found it too much trouble, so I just shaved my head.”

“Being bald doesn’t look good! Walking around, I look like a bandit leader.”

“Hey, it’s better now, my hair’s back.”

Kang Peng lovingly touched his stubble, wishing he could look in the mirror 800 times a day.

“Uncle, as long as you’re okay.” Kang Zeyang felt he had done what he needed to do and wanted to leave, but his uncle wouldn’t let him go.

Kang Peng was excited and wanted to chat with his nephew for a while longer. Seeing him looking restless, he laughed, “Alright, go do what you need to do. It’s good to remember your uncle when things go well, it’s not in vain that I used to dote on you.”

As he spoke, he tossed out a card, “There’s 6 million in it, and the password is the same as before. Go spend it.”

Kang Zeyang perked up, looking as pleased as punch, “Thanks, Uncle!”

Han Jiajia stared at her reflection in a daze.

In three days, she had lost four pounds. Not only did her belly flatten, but her dark eye circles vanished completely.

Even the scar on her face, about the size of half a palm, had faded considerably. She believed that given some more time, it could completely disappear.

Han Jiajia gazed at the mirror for twenty minutes, still unable to believe that the beautiful girl in the mirror was herself.

“I told you, playing holographic online games can treat illnesses and boost health, even a scar, it’s nothing, it’ll be gone in a few days,” Han Jiaqing comforted her kindly.

“Brother! You truly are my brother!” Han Jiajia suddenly hugged Han Jiaqing, her eyes shimmering with tears, “The doctor once said the wound was deep, the scar might not disappear, and surgery might not heal it properly. It scared me…”

She had once thought she might be disfigured.

“Technology is constantly advancing, and humans are continually progressing. Illnesses that couldn’t be cured in the past might not be incurable in the future,” Han Jiaqing said with emphasis and sincerity.

Similar words had been spoken by Han Jiaqing many times, but this time, Han Jiajia truly took them to heart. She nodded vigorously, “Brother, you’re right. We should be a little more optimistic as people, there’s hope as long as we’re alive.”

As the scars faded, she felt her sense of inferiority gradually receding and her confidence returning.

In the evening, Yun Shan’s total online time for the day had reached its limit. She exited the game, removed the holographic helmet, and prepared to rest.

However, her communication signal began to pulse wildly, as if exploding.

Bai Shenghua: “Do you still have any registration codes? The price is negotiable.”

Han Jiaqing: “The registration codes have been used and work really well, truly worthy of you.”

Goodness Gracious: “I heard the registration codes are real? Can you give me one? I’m willing to offer 5 million!”

Distressed: “A friend is in trouble and urgently needs to enter the holographic game to save their life. Group leader, please help!”

Gold Rushed: “Offering 3 million, seeking 1 registration code.”

At the same time, in the Pay-to-Win game group.

Savings Expert: “Seeking a registration code, open to any price. @Yun Shan”

It’s all about money: “Let’s auction them off, whoever has the most money gets the registration code. @Yun Shan”

Blame my naivety: “Group leader, I was wrong not to trust you, you truly are a miraculous person. Is it too late to regret now? Can you save one registration code for me? @Yun Shan”

Hacker: “I need 2 registration codes, any conditions. @Yun Shan”

…

Yun Shan watched the communication signal flashing incessantly, and it even crashed, taking a good while to process all the messages.

She was quite speechless and directly responded in the group, “Do you all think I’m running a wholesale business? I’ve said before that the 5 registration codes are sold out, don’t disturb. @everyone”

The group members sighed and lamented, feeling regretful.

“Group Leader, you’re being modest!” Someone refused to give up, “If you could obtain the first batch of registration codes, you can surely get a second batch!”

There were also inquiries about advance payment, asking if it was acceptable, with the promise of a refund if no registration code was given in the future.

Yun Shan, “…”

Yun Shan: “Stop messing around.”

She closed the Pay-to-Win game group, giving the group members ample time to calm down.

She set up quick response phrases, replied to each private message, and then planned to turn off the communication signal.

At that moment, a message popped up—

Courageous to the Extreme: “I have insider information, can we chat?”

Yun Shan was curious, “What do you want to talk about?”

Courageous to the Extreme: “Is it really impossible to get registration codes anymore?”

“Hard to say,” Yun Shan replied. “After all, even I can’t see through myself.”

Courageous to the Extreme: “…”

The other person was momentarily speechless, seeming unsure of what to say.

Yun Shan: “I’m saying, if you want to catch a fish, you’ve got to at least bait the hook.”

This was to prompt the other person to reveal something.

If they were holding onto unimportant information as if it were a secret, she wouldn’t entertain them.

After a while, ‘Courageous to the Extreme’ finally said, “The Zhou Shiqiu incident has caused quite a stir. Apart from him facing legal consequences, the gaming company is also under investigation.”

“The company’s procedures seem complete, with no apparent issues. Strangely, no one can find out where the company is located.”

“In simpler terms, the gaming company seems entirely normal on the surface, but in reality, it doesn’t exist at all.”

They found all this out? That took some skill.

Yun Shan pretended not to believe it, “You’re not making sense.”

Courageous to the Extreme: “I have connections.”

Courageous to the Extreme: “I won’t disclose how I know, but everything I say is the truth, I’m not lying to you.”

Yun Shan: “It doesn’t concern me. As long as the treatment works, everyone is rushing to enter the game, business is good, I can make money, and that’s enough.”

Courageous to the Extreme: “…Is that so nonchalant?”

Yun Shan: “It’s called ‘staying true to the original intention’.”

Her original intention was to make money.

If she could make money, what more did she need?

After a long pause, ‘Courageous to the Extreme’ finally managed to say, “Truly worthy of you.”
