Chapter 1029 - 468: Crab Bro, You’re Actually Amazing_2

Lu Mingfei replied: Red hair, pretty.Hui Liyi was very pleased: I fit all that, is that it?

Lu Mingfei nodded: That’s it.

Hui Liyi was even happier: I fit that too QAQ.

Lin Li, Pan Yuwen: "O.o?"

This most lackluster character in Jiangnan’s writing suddenly became lively and vivid with just a few words from Bai Bufan, perhaps that’s what a literary genius is.

Lin Li nodded in agreement, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, and then also raised his index, middle, ring, and pinky fingers—

But Bai Bufan was nimble enough to dodge Lin Li’s slap.

"Bufan, I have some connections at Nansang Middle School."

"What a coincidence, I have one too."

"..."

"Aren’t you done shopping yet?" After messing around for a while and seeing that the three hadn’t moved, Lin Li curiously leaned over Chen Yu Ying’s shoulder and asked, placing both hands on her shoulders.

"Si Han is still bargaining." Chen Yu Ying looked up and smiled at Lin Li, pointing to Ding Sihan to explain.

"Classmate, can it be cheaper?"

"Thirty is already very cheap."

Ding Sihan was holding a Guzi badge with a transparent plastic box, apparently negotiating the price with its owner.

The so-called Guzi is a transliteration of "goods" in human terms, referring to all 2D merchandise, and those featuring already deceased characters are called Ghost Guzi. Meanwhile, "badge" is also a transliteration, referring to a pin.

A glance at the character on the badge seemed to be a male protagonist from a domestic otome love game.

"Dingzi still plays this?" Lin Li asked curiously.

"No, she has a friend who likes this. She’s buying it as a gift for her friend." Chen Yu Ying explained.

"A badge selling for thirty, making money in 2D is truly easy." Bai Bufan commented with a smile.

Ding Sihan was still in a tug-of-war over the price.

Seemingly moved by Ding Sihan’s sincerity, the girl thought for a moment and seriously looked at Ding Sihan:

"Classmate, how about this? Since you’re really sincere, I’ll give you the cost price."

"Hmm? Is that okay?" Ding Sihan’s eyes lit up; she was ready to give up, as students can’t usually haggle for long, but now it seemed there’s a twist?

"Yes, it is."

"Okay, so how much is it?"

The girl: "800."

Ding Sihan’s motion to take out her phone froze: "?"

Ding Sihan looked at the girl incredulously, only to find the girl’s eyes more sorrowful:

"I’m not lying to you, the cost price for this badge is indeed 800, not a single cent exaggerated, back then it was considered a sea view property, 800 was also a hot item, but due to frequent reprints and sales by the incompetent company, it dropped to this price...

Classmate, selling this on second-hand platforms can fetch more than 30, but I just don’t want the hassle of shipping..."

"Stop it! I’ll buy it for thirty! I’m sorry, I won’t haggle anymore! I’ll send it to you right now!"

Scared by the girl’s sorrowful eyes and struck by this tragedy, Ding Sihan couldn’t continue bargaining, so she immediately paid up.

"Wow, this thing used to sell for 800? It’s fine if Japanese goods are expensive, but this is domestic, right? This isn’t just about 2D money being easy to make, wow, this is primed for Bao Wei."

Surprised not only by Ding Sihan’s reaction, Bai Bufan was also quite shocked by the news.

The mention of domestic and Japanese goods wasn’t because Bai Bufan was a foreign-sycophant traitor; it’s just that Japan, since 1945, became a 2D nation, with deep and accumulated cultural roots, so their premiums are normal.

But that domestic badges could fetch this price was surprising.

"That’s the case; the glory days of these things go beyond what you and I can imagine, but it’s probably the result of company and speculator hype. Here, I have to mention a CSGO virtual sticker, once selling for a couple of cents, hit a peak of 3300," Lin Li laughed.

"Bought it, let’s go." After paying, Ding Sihan came back with the badge, indicating they could leave.

However, her gaze was still fixed on the badge in her hands, turning it over, and she shook her head in disbelief:

"This thing selling for such a price, if it weren’t that my friend really likes this character, I wouldn’t have bought it; it feels so not worth it."

"Things with no practical use are like this, for people who love them, as long as the market sets the price, it’s worth it. For those who don’t like them, if you can’t resell them, even giving them for free would be seen as cluttering the house."

While walking, Lin Li lightly swayed Chen Yu Ying’s shoulders back and forth, speaking in a relaxed and leisurely tone, and then with a raised eyebrow, he smiled and asked Ding Sihan:

"Dingzi, give me the badge, I have a way to make you feel better about it."

"Hmm?" Ding Sihan turned back, looking at Lin Li skeptically. Knowing Lin Li couldn’t be serious, but driven by curiosity, she handed him the newly bought item.

Under the watch of the "Three Dog Pack," Lin Li took out a pen from his pocket, made two sloppy strokes on the plastic packaging of the badge, and then showed it to Ding Sihan:

"Dingzi, have you studied math?"

"Come on, loudly tell me, what is this."

Ding Sihan: "...You’re crazy."

If the item she was holding just now was Guzi.

Then after Lin Li added these two strokes, it became |Guzi| in her hand.
