"Reward?"
Hearing that Su Yi wanted to reward her, Yue Ling thought seriously for a moment and said:
"If you can give me the World Language Mastery Card from the trading platform a bit faster, that would be the best reward for me."
She was very curious about everything in this world.
Especially that magical internet.
But suffering from the language barrier, she was always unable to learn more information about Blue Star through it.
Even when playing games, she often had difficulty navigating the menus, and then she had to ask Su Yi about everything.
Whether she could surf the internet and play games every day as an otaku girl in the future depended on the language mastery card produced by the trading platform. It was truly very important to her.
"World Language Mastery Card..."
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses.
He knew it. No wonder he kept feeling like he had forgotten something today!
Yesterday, he had agreed with Sun Wang, the former boss of Yuanfeng Farm, that the farm would deliver a batch of about eight tons of fruits and vegetables today.
In addition, the two tons of frozen meat he had asked his childhood friend Huang Lin to get for him was also supposed to be delivered today to the cold storage he had rented in advance.
Having suddenly obtained overwhelming wealth from the Shen family, for a moment he had truly forgotten these "trivial matters" with a total price of only a hundred thousand or so.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly dialed the phone number of the warehouse side to ask about them.
Sure enough, although the Shen family had used some unknown means to make Sun Wang transfer the farm to him, the latter was an honest person and still delivered all eight tons of fruits and vegetables to his designated location according to yesterday's agreement.
The Shen family had also probably mentioned Su Yi's matter during the transaction process.
As such, Sun Wang hadn't even made a single phone call to him from beginning to end. It seemed that he was afraid of disturbing Su Yi's proper business and simply got everything done for him.
Even at the warehouse side, Su Yi had only rented it temporarily for a day and had told the warehouse management that he planned for the goods to be delivered this morning and would go to the warehouse to take them away in the afternoon.
Because the rental period was too short and he hadn't hauled the things away according to the agreed time, the warehouse management was a bit worried and gave him a call to ask about the situation.
But Su Yi was looking at houses at that time, and his phone was left in the car, so he wasn't able to answer the call.
Only after asking now did he know that after the warehouse management couldn't get through to his phone, they called Sun Wang's side instead.
After the latter learned of the situation, he took the initiative to rent it for a few more days for Su Yi. He also told the management that Su Yi had important matters to attend to and told them not to keep calling him. If he didn't pick up this batch of goods and it ended up rotting in the warehouse, then they should notify Sun Wang instead, and he would handle it.
Since the other party had handled things so openly and generously, now that Su Yi knew about it, he naturally had to show his appreciation.
He immediately took the initiative to call Sun Wang to express his thanks, and in passing, under Sun Wang's proactive invitation, they agreed to have a meal together.
After finishing the call with Sun Wang, he made another call to his childhood friend Huang Lin.
The situation was also pretty much the same.
In the afternoon, after the frozen meat was delivered to his designated cold storage, because he had exceeded the agreed time and still hadn't come to haul it away, the cold storage rental party could only contact Huang Lin.
Sun Wang's side had probably heard some rumors and knew that he was handling some matters for the Shen family.
But Huang Lin didn't know about it.
After he called Su Yi and couldn't get through, he also proactively paid the fees and helped Su Yi extend the rental time for the cold storage.
At this moment, as soon as Su Yi's call went through, he heard Huang Lin’s scolding on the other end.
"Where did you run off to, you son of a turtle? Not even answering the phone, your father thought you went to a club and got busted. I even had the fine ready and was just waiting to go bail you out!
Tens of thousands worth of goods, if you drop the ball and don't want them, my dad will definitely skin me alive."
Although his words were very impolite, one could imagine his smile from his tone. Clearly, he didn't think Su Yi would actually do such a thing.
It was just the daily mutual roasting between friends.
Su Yi wasn’t annoyed either and said with a grin:
"It won't come to that, it won't come to that. Even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs, how could I skin you alive?
Your father here has struck it rich. Seeing that you, my good eldest son, are still quite filial, I'm treating you to a good meal. Come out now, pick any place you want!"
"You f*cking... Pick any place I want? Is that true, Godfather?!"
Huang Lin on the other end of the phone changed his expression in a second, and then he asked in confusion:
"So generous, what kind of windfall did you strike recently? Confess truthfully to me, did you do some shady business? If so, how could you not bring me along?"
"It's nothing much. I acted courageously for a just cause and saved a little girl. She's a wealthy family's daughter, and to thank me, her dad gave me a few hundred million."
Su Yi said faintly.
As he spoke, he also sent a screenshot of his balance to Huang Lin.
This was the money left over after buying the house. There was still a full two million plus in it.
"???"
A second ago, Huang Lin still thought that Su Yi was joking, and he was just preparing to scold his friend for daydreaming.
The next second, upon seeing his balance, he was instantly dumbfounded and hurriedly said:
"No way, bro? Wait, Godfather!
Godfather, did they really give you millions just because you saved a little girl?!"
"Fake news, it was a few hundred million."
"A few your f*cking... Fine, a few hundred million it is. Godfather, I want to go to the most expensive restaurant in Jiangcheng!"
"I said it, you pick the place, I'm paying!"
After a bout of friendly exchange with his good brother, the good brother successfully turned into a good eldest son.
Only then did Su Yi hang up the phone with satisfaction.
After hanging up, he still felt like he hadn't had enough and said:
"You see, sometimes when you tell the truth, people just don't believe it."
The super-large farm, after being consolidated by the Shen family, was absolutely worth several hundred million.
He wasn't blowing his own horn here.
Speaking of which, he had known Huang Lin for at least twenty years.
Mhm, he was twenty-six years old this year.
The two of them had known each other since kindergarten, and from elementary school to middle school, they had always been classmates.
Moreover, they had also been neighbors for over a decade.
Later, when Huang Lin's father made money through his restaurant business, their family moved into the urban area of Jiangcheng to live there.
But during their university years, the two of them both entered a Tier 1 university in Jiangcheng together. Under the circumstances of being able to choose their own dormitories, they naturally became roommates for another four years.
When they were in university, something happened to Su Yi's family. His father was injured in an accident at a construction site and lost his ability to work, leaving his family very strapped for cash.
Su Yi could only work part-time while going to school, earning money himself to pay for various tuition and miscellaneous fees. Reluctant to eat or dress well, he barely maintained his studies.
During this period, Huang Lin would always find various excuses to give him some things and take him out to eat this and that.
Even his first computer was forcefully stuffed into his hands by Huang Lin as a gift on his birthday.
Huang Lin also tactfully brought up Su Yi's work-study situation several times, stating that he had spoken to his own father and could help Su Yi pay for his tuition and various miscellaneous fees, letting the latter focus on school with peace of mind so that he wouldn't have to make himself so tired.
At first, he and his dad didn't even expect Su Yi to pay it back. After being rejected a few times, they then proposed that they could lend him a sum of money, but Su Yi still didn’t accept it.
Of course, this wasn’t because he couldn't recognize their good intentions.
But rather, he felt that he already owed Huang Lin enough favors, and if he owed his friend any more, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pay them off clearly in this lifetime.
Including this time as well, he had asked Huang Lin to help him get a few tons of frozen meat, and the latter agreed without even asking what it was for.
For this kind of good brother, now that Su Yi had struck it rich himself, it was naturally impossible to forget him.

T/N - Hey guys! I have a new novel I'm translating called "Fairy Tail: Starting by Capturing Fairy Queen Erza". It's a Chinese fanfiction about a guy who gets isekai'd as a baby into the Fairy Tail world with a cheat coming from his One Piece mobile game. The first person he meets is Irene before she meets Zeref, and through some shenanigans, he fed her the Human Fruit and Irene treats him as heaven's gift to her as a result. It's actually been translated before but it got discontinued. I thought it was a pity to leave it unfinished, so I'm picking it up and starting from the beginning. Hopefully my grammar's a bit better than the previous translation. 😅 Check it out! Who knows, you might like it. ♥️
Also, I'll be putting all three novels I'm translating on sale for 7 days for my new translation. So please support me when you can. I truly appreciate it, and happy reading! ♥️ (05/25/26)
That was careless of the MC. Then again, hundreds of millions worth of assets just landed on his lap, so I can understand why he forgot. I would probably be the same if I was in his shoes (how I wish I actually was 😭).
Also, that’s a good friend right there. Hopefully, Huang Lin and his family can also benefit from the magical plants the MC’s planning to plant in his farm. They deserve it.
