In the live stream, Lin Xiao watched as the comments flooded in, smiling, "Now you believe me, right?"
"Believe it! Believe it!"
"So, when is the raffle for the bag?"
"Yeah, when's the raffle?"
"So, is the bag real?"
"Of course, it's real. That woman extorted ten million. Could she have used a fake one?"
"But it's a murderer's bag. Isn't that bad luck?"
Lin Xiao said, "Well, about the bag, because it contains a rescue message and belongs to a murderer, it's temporarily held at the police station. Here's the deal: we'll have the raffle first, and then I'll go online and order the same bag and send it to you."
"Mr. Lin is so generous!"
"Let's do the raffle already!"
Lin Xiao contacted Wang Ling, who was still awake at this hour.
A few minutes later, Lin Xiao said, "Let's start the countdown, and then we'll do the raffle."
"10, 9, 8…"
"3, 2, 1!"
The red envelope popped up, and someone immediately grabbed it.
Lin Xiao glanced at the user ID of the person who grabbed the red envelope and said, "Congratulations to [Fei Yang], please send me your personal information, and I'll buy it and send it to you."
[Fei Yang]: Thank you, Mr. Lin!
"Jealous!"
"Can't wait for the next raffle!"
"Mr. Lin, when's the next raffle?"
"By the way, did you buy the book from the street stall?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. What about that book? You promised to show it to us when you got home."
Lin Xiao casually picked up the book next to him and said, "Here's the book."
He didn't know what was inside this book.
But this book was different from the bag he bought and the second-hand car.
The bag itself was worth 20,000, and the second-hand car cost 300,000.
But the value of this book was unknown, but its estimated value was 130 million.
This meant that the book's intrinsic value could easily be over a hundred million.
So, this value of over a hundred million must be recorded in the book.
He flipped through the pages. The book was clean, with no notes, and everything was clear.
"What's Mr. Lin doing?"
"Mr. Lin is probably looking for something in the book, right?"
"Is there something hidden in the book?"
"It must be hidden in there. Otherwise, why would Mr. Lin buy it? I still remember his sly smile when he bought it!"
After flipping through several dozen pages, Lin Xiao suddenly stopped, gripping the corner of a page.
On the top blank part of this page, a line of text had been written with a blue ballpoint pen.
A line of characters made up of numbers and letters.
Lin Xiao read it carefully, but he couldn't understand a word of it.
What the hell is this?
Is this some kind of text decryption game?
130 million is hidden in this string of letters and numbers?
"What's this string of numbers?"
"What else could it be? It's definitely something important. Mr. Lin must have bought this book just for this string of numbers."
"Don't keep us guessing, Mr. Lin. Hurry up and tell us what this number is."
Lin Xiao was still deep in thought. How would he know what this was?
After thinking for about two minutes, he was about to turn the page when...
Suddenly, someone sent a donation in the live stream.
Qianfan donated 10 rockets and left a message: "Mr. Lin, I'm very interested in this book. Could you sell it to me?"
"Is this book a limited edition? Does it have collectible value?"
"I looked it up, and this book is still available online, not a limited edition."
"10 rockets, 10,000 Berries, I can tell you really like this book."
"My brother has this book too. If you like it, I can sell it to you."
Lin Xiao was surprised to see this.
A regular book, and someone wants to buy it?
He had checked, and it was definitely not a limited edition, nor did it have any collectible value.
In that moment, Lin Xiao's mind raced, and he seemed to have figured something out.
He didn't buy it earlier or later, but right when he turned to this string of numbers, someone suddenly wanted to buy it.
Was it a coincidence?
Or was it just as he suspected?
With these doubts in his mind, Lin Xiao asked, "You want to buy it?"
Qianfan: I really like this book.
Lin Xiao asked, "How much are you offering?"
Lin Xiao replied, "That's too little."
Qianfan: How much do you think is fair, Mr. Lin?
Lin Xiao said, "One million."
Qianfan: No problem.
Lin Xiao was now completely sure that this person didn't want the book itself.
He was only interested in the string of numbers.
Though Lin Xiao still didn't know exactly what this string of numbers and letters meant...
It was clear that Qianfan knew.
Not only did he know, but he seemed to know how valuable this combination of numbers and letters was.
Otherwise, why would he spend a million to buy it?
The other viewers watched their exchange, utterly confused.
"A book for one million?"
"Dude, are you out of your mind?"
Qianfan: If you're selling, I'll come to your place now for an in-person transaction.
The viewers were completely speechless.
"Damn, this can't be real?"
"A book, just a book..."
Some viewers felt this person was crazy.
But some began to realize something was off.
"I feel like Qianfan is trying to take advantage of this."
"This book must be special. No one would spend a million on just a book if they were a fool."
"That makes sense, but there's nothing special about this book."
The viewers scrambled to figure out what was going on but couldn't come up with any answers.
Lin Xiao didn't play along. He pointed to the string of numbers and letters and said, "You're not interested in the book. You're after this, right?"
