Stepping out of the elevator.
Lin Feng was in an exceptionally good mood.
Especially after seeing the message from Wei Tianyu.
It said Wang Shan had been so thoroughly shut down that she’d left the class group chat on her own accord.
Lin Feng was very satisfied with this outcome.
Although Lin Feng usually handled things with a fair amount of maturity,
at the end of the day, he was still just a young man who had only recently come of age.
If someone pissed him off, he was definitely going to strike right back.
As for holding back or showing restraint...
What did that have to do with Lin Feng?
When he found Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman,
the two of them were in a jewelry store, picking out diamond rings.
"Ruoxi, you want to buy a ring?"
Lin Feng asked, looking at the ring Su Ruoxi was trying on.
Su Ruoxi rarely wore any jewelry, not even bracelets.
The only accessory she ever wore was the Patek Philippe watch he had given her.
"Brother, she said she wants to pick out a matching pair of diamond rings."
Lin Xiaoman jumped in to answer.
As she spoke, her eyes held a hint of envy.
’After all, a matching pair of diamond rings costs at least twenty thousand and up.’
’But Su Ruoxi can just buy them if she wants to.’
’Why are we both pretty, but our lives are so different?’
When Lin Xiaoman remembered that she had to be Lin Feng’s servant for a week just to buy a necklace,
she felt like she was the one who’d been abandoned.
"Brother Feng~"
"Do you think this ring looks nice?"
Su Ruoxi held out the hand wearing the ring.
Her fingers were slender, like they were drawn for a comic book.
Adorned with the diamond ring and illuminated by the bright store lights,
it was, without a doubt, a truly beautiful sight.
"Brother, I also..."
Lin Xiaoman was captivated as well.
But just as she started to speak, Lin Feng cut her off.
"Also what?"
"You don’t even have a boyfriend, what do you need a ring for?"
Lin Feng’s teasing retort immediately silenced Lin Xiaoman.
’I feel like they just found me on the street or something,’ she thought.
’No, wait!’
’I was definitely found on the street!’
"This diamond ring looks pretty good!"
Of course the diamond ring looked good,
but it also depended on whose hand it was on.
In truth, Lin Feng wasn’t all that interested in diamonds.
He knew they were just a product of marketing hype.
But what could he do? Girls just loved these shiny little things.
Whether it was Su Ruoxi or Lin Xiaoman,
both of them seemed to really like this particular ring.
[DING!]
[Congratulations, Host. You have triggered a random quest.]
[Purchase a pair of matching diamond rings with a rarity score exceeding 80.]
[Quest Reward: A pair of diamonds with a rarity score of 100.]
Lin Feng didn’t know anything about diamonds.
He had no idea what a rarity score of eighty even meant.
But that wasn’t going to stop him from buying them.
Because he had Data Eyes, which could quantify anything.
Buy a pair of matching diamond rings with an 80 rarity score, and get a pair of diamonds with a 100 rarity score in return.
’When you look at it that way, this is a pretty good deal!’
"Do you have the man’s version?"
"Let me take a look."
Lin Feng asked the sales associate.
"Sir, this is the man’s ring."
The associate retrieved a box from the counter.
Inside lay a ring with a noticeably larger diamond.
After all, it was a matching set.
The man’s version was bound to be a bit larger than the woman’s.
It was the same with the pair of Patek Philippe watches Lin Feng had bought previously.
Lin Feng reached out and picked up the ring from the box.
At the same time, a system notification sounded.
[Quest item detected. Scanning...]
[Current Item Rarity: 58.]
’The rarity is only fifty-eight?’
Lin Feng froze for a second.
"How much is this pair of rings?"
Lin Feng asked.
"Sir, the bands for this pair of rings are made of platinum,"
"and with these two diamonds, the price is a little bit higher."
"The total price for both rings is eighteen thousand, five hundred."
the associate explained.
Once diamonds were involved, the price was naturally no longer ordinary.
The price was about what Lin Feng had expected.
The problem was,
these two rings together were worth nearly twenty thousand,
yet they only received a rarity score of fifty-eight from the system.
’It didn’t even get a passing grade. Isn’t that a little ridiculous?’
"Do you have anything better?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly as he placed the ring back in its box.
The sales associate was taken aback.
"I’m sorry, sir, what was that?"
"I said, bring out the best matching ring set you have in the store."
Diamond rings like these were typically sold in pairs.
After all, unless someone was truly wealthy,
most people only bought them when they were getting married.
Once she understood what Lin Feng had said,
the sales associate nodded quickly.
’Looks like a big spender has arrived,’ she thought.
’But it’s not surprising.’
’A guy who walks in with bombshells like Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman to buy diamond rings...’
’He’s obviously a rich heir! You don’t even have to think about it.’
For that very reason, the associate didn’t hold back and went straight to get their best items.
"Brother Feng, I thought that pair was quite nice,"
Su Ruoxi said, looking at Lin Feng in surprise.
"I think they’re nice too, but they don’t meet my standards."
"This is the first time we’re buying matching rings, after all."
"I can’t just half-ass it."
Lin Feng couldn’t exactly say he was doing it for a system reward.
’If the rings don’t reach a score of eighty, I’ll have bought them for nothing.’
"Brother, you’re getting arrogant."
Lin Xiaoman, standing to the side, knew Lin Feng had made some money.
But hearing him now, she still felt a little contemptuous.
’He earned a little cash,’
’and suddenly his standards are so high?’
’No wonder the nouveau riche only buy the most expensive things.’
’Lin Feng is turning into one of them.’
Su Ruoxi had always been happy to go along with whatever Lin Feng wanted.
So when she heard his words, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with them.
In fact, she felt that he was doing this because he cared about her and didn’t want to just settle.
One had to admit, a girl’s mind could be a strange thing sometimes.
The sales associate returned a few minutes later.
This time, she was carrying a tray.
On it sat two boxes.
"Sir, Miss,"
"These two pairs of diamond rings are the finest in our store."
"They are both from a designer in France."
"And they are all over two carats."
"However, the price is a bit steep."
"Each of these pairs costs around four hundred thousand."
’Each pair is four hundred thousand?’
’So just one set of rings is four hundred thousand?’
Neither Lin Feng nor Su Ruoxi reacted much.
After all, with the money they had, they could have easily bought both pairs.
But Lin Xiaoman was different.
Lin Xiaoman had no idea how much money the other two actually had.
She only knew one thing.
This single pair of rings cost more than what Lin Jiandong and He Yue could earn in several years of working without spending a dime!
’Over four hundred thousand for a pair of rings?’
Lin Xiaoman felt like her whole perception of reality was being rewritten.
Just as she was about to say something,
she saw Lin Feng reach out and open one of the boxes.
The moment he opened it, a system notification sounded.
[Quest item detected. Scanning...]
[Current Item Rarity: 81.]
’It meets the standard?’
’A pair of rings worth over four hundred thousand just barely scrapes past a rarity score of eighty.’
’The system’s requirements really are high.’
But Lin Feng wasn’t afraid of the high price.
In fact, he would have been worried if the price wasn’t high.
Because the higher the price for an 80-point item,
the higher the price for a 100-point item would be!
A higher rarity score also meant the price would be in a completely different league!
