Wang Fuchun was still fantasizing about a bright future, completely unaware that Lin Jichen's smile had already faded.
"I'll say it one more time, move."
Seeing the sharp look in Lin Jichen's eyes, Wang Fuchun felt a bit intimidated.
But with so many people watching, it would be too embarrassing to back down now.
So Wang Fuchun chose to confront him head-on.
He assumed a haughty posture and mocked, "Do you think just because you have a little business in the game, you can be arrogant in front of me? You're a frog in a well, unaware of how vast the sky is. I'm willing to cooperate with you, which is giving you face. Such a great opportunity is right in front of you, are you sure you don't want to seize it?"
At first, when Wang Fuchun was pretending to be a big shot, he was a bit nervous, afraid of being exposed.
But over time, everyone believed he was really a scion of some prestigious family, a super second-generation rich kid.
Gradually, he got more into the role, to the point where he almost believed his family background was sky-high.
The ridiculous part was that his farming parents back home had no idea their son had become a 'man above men,' nor had they received any benefits or returns from him.
Faced with Wang Fuchun's warning, Lin Jichen lost all patience.
"Get lost! Don't make me say it a second time."
For a moment, the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Wang Fuchun's face turned red with anger and fear as he pointed at Lin Jichen in the air, trembling.
"Fine, Lin Jichen, just you wait, don't regret this!"
With that, he flung his robe and left the scene.
The little farce ended just like that.
The guests present were somewhat surprised. The seemingly harmless and smooth Lin Jichen was not that easy to get along with after all.
His smoothness was just a facade. When someone tried to oppose him, he wouldn't give them any face at all.
Indeed, if Lin Jichen were truly a nice guy, he wouldn't have had such a fallout with the Blood Fiend Guild.
The scene of him single-handedly executing over a thousand Blood Fiend members was still vivid in everyone's minds.
It's just that time had passed, and people had almost forgotten.
Lin Jichen was not someone to be easily offended. If you could befriend him, do so. Once you became his enemy, he wouldn't treat you kindly.
Lin Jichen smiled in response, and Jiang Luoyu returned a bright smile, knowing that compared to others, she was already very close to gaining Lin Jichen's trust.
They had only known each other for two months and were just online friends. She was already very satisfied with this progress.
"By the way, the first batch of pets from the Beast Forest has been tallied. A total of 862, with eighty percent at the Foundation Establishment Realm, fifteen percent at the Crystal Realm, and five percent at the Golden Core Realm. As agreed, sixty percent are yours. Should I send them to your shop?"
Jiang Luoyu's smile grew even brighter as she spoke about this.
Lin Jichen was willing to share such an important business project with her and didn't even supervise, letting her report the numbers.
Lin Jichen had no idea; she could say whatever she wanted. If they caught five hundred, she could say they only caught two hundred.
Lin Jichen wouldn't know.
By doing this, wasn't Lin Jichen already starting to show his trust in her?
Moreover, with the pet supply from the Beast Forest, her pet shop was also booming, with business thriving.
"So many?" Lin Jichen was slightly surprised.
Jiang Luoyu smiled, "That's actually quite few. The pet market is huge, and these pets are far from enough. I've been continuously adding more staff. The next batch will be even larger."
"That's great, let's get rich together," Lin Jichen laughed.
"Yes!" Jiang Luoyu returned a radiant smile, so beautiful it took one's breath away.
Lin Jichen's gaze was drawn to her...

Soon, the auction began.
The same beautiful hostess as before took the stage.
After a round of official opening remarks, the first auction item appeared—a Mysterious Grade flying sword.
The crowd was both delighted and amazed by Lin Jichen's methods.
The Honest Auction House's advertisement was indeed accurate; the minimum standard for this auction was Mysterious Grade.
Mysterious Grade equipment was still considered rare treasures. The current mainstream equipment was Spirit Grade.
Although with the game's progression, there were definitely more Mysterious Grade equipment than last month.
But it was still out of reach for most players.
