Chapter 235: Elysian Heights
After Zhao Xin gave him a time limit, she ended the call without waiting for Xu Feng to reply.
"This woman…" Speechless, Xu Feng didn't know if she was bipolar or not.
When he was Lin Feng, she was so respectful and patient, wanting to poach him to her side. But when he was Xu Feng, she was so annoyed and irritated, wanting nothing more than for him to disappear.
Toward these personalities, Xu Feng was even more positive that she was the eldest sister of Zhao Kai, albeit not completely blood-related. After all, they only had the same father and not the same mother.
'It's a good thing that Kai wasn't born from the same mother.' Xu Feng was glad silently. Had Zhao Kai been born from the same mother and father as Zhao Xin, he doubted the two could ever become friends.
Although there were still quite a lot of things to do in the Divine World, Xu Feng knew he needed to take a break.
His mental concentration wasn't that great, so if he continued to linger in the Divine World, it might affect him.
'Whatever, let's just contact Kai to get ready.' Xu Feng began messaging Zhao Kai as he picked a good suit to dress.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he realized that his glasses were truly out of style with the suit.
Nevertheless, he didn't want to switch to contact lenses. It wasn't so bad having blurry vision occasionally. At the very least, some filth wouldn't stain his eyes if they weren't extremely clear.
Giving a final check, Xu Feng nodded his head in approval.
Shortly after, he arrived at the parking lot and commanded Vera— the AI system of the car.
Soon, a fancy car arrived in front of Xu Feng, with the door opening, seemingly welcoming him.
Satisfied, Xu Feng sat on the back and quickly made himself comfortable.
"Good Evening, Master Xu Feng. Where is the destination?" The AI, Vera, voice resounded as the door closed automatically and Xu Feng was buckled safely.
"To my friend, Kai's place." Xu Feng responded.
"Understood, the time of arrival would be 23 minutes." Vera quickly reported after a swift calculation of the route.
Once the route was calculated, the car began driving while Xu Feng relaxed himself and continued to browse through the current news. Sure enough, Divine World had been garnering a lot of attention.
This was also highly contributed because of the Zhao Enterprise's plan to invest in the Divine World, which caused a domino effect. Now, even more companies are joining the bandwagon of the Divine World.
"Although it's a bit earlier than expected, these company people are helping me anyway." Xu Feng muttered, having already put some of the equipment to be borrowed for a certain period.
In total, he earned almost close to 5 gold coins with the lending of the equipment, and he wasn't afraid of them trying to renege on the deal.
If they fail to return the borrowed weapon in time, then they must pay 10 times the original value of the weapon back to him. And in the current stage of the Divine World, no one had that many coins in hand.
The exchange center allowed players to sell their coins for dollars. As for trying to buy coins in bulk using dollars, that was only possible if there were players putting up such an offer to trade.
Since the system won't offer any coins, keeping the currency and economy at a standstill, coins became highly valued.
To date, Xu Feng still received many messages from representatives, hoping to purchase the coins he had.
After all, he was listed as anonymous when selling the coins previously. The name was hidden, but that didn't stop them from being able to contact him.
Too bad for them, Xu Feng was no longer short of dollars, but coins— gold coins to be precise.
'I've already begun hoarding the materials and items that will soar in the future, but it's still not enough. I need to do much more.' He smiled bitterly.
Sometime later, Vera parked the car around Zayn Avenue, the place where Zhao Kai currently resided. The place was purchased by his wealthy sister, so he didn't even need to worry about rent or utilities.
Through the window, Xu Feng saw Zhao Kai clad in a suit, a style that he had never worn before.
'So he was caught in the end…' Xu Feng thought, clearly knowing the culprit was none other than Zhao Xin. Otherwise, there was no way Zhao Kai would dress up so fancily.
As the door opened up, Zhao Kai's eyes widened in surprise at Xu Feng's attire.
"My eldest sister got you too huh." He commented, sharing the same sentiment.
"She didn't get me," Xu Feng responded. He didn't get this suit because of Zhao Xin, but he needed it for future occasions.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say." Zhao Kai waved his hand nonchalantly and took an empty seat to sit.
"I suppose you agreed to join the party because she bribed you with this car." He quickly added, noticing the interior was overly high-tech.
Nodding, Xu Feng didn't bother to refute his claim. He merely found it exhausting to try to defend himself when it was quite obvious Zhao Kai wouldn't believe a word of his.
"Where's the next destination, Master Lin Feng?" Vera, the AI system inquired.
Xu Feng didn't answer and merely gave a side eye to Zhao Kai.
"The Elysian Heights," Zhao Kai answered after much difficulty.
Elysian Heights was an exclusive, luxurious enclave nestled atop a verdant hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city below. It was also the best place for the wealthy, of which the Zhao Family was naturally included.
"Route located, estimated time of arrival is 20 minutes," Vera responded as the car began to advance.
"Sigh, I really don't want to go to that place." Zhao Kai suddenly lamented and leaned back, "It's just a gathering of the filthy rich and scum of society."
"I see… I'll relay that word for word to Zhao Xin."
