Samsara Online Chapter 288 Surprise after surprise

After the previous small event, the things inside the mansion calmed down and everyone chatted for a while with each other. The topic of conversation varied from time to time; sometimes they talked about the high ranking people on the different leader boards and sometimes about which place was the best place to level up.

"By the way, Shen Xinya's concert will be in two days." Hu Chen said enthusiastically. "Man, I practically almost had a fight with the old lord from my family to get me a pair of good quality tickets!"

"Right, the concert!" Yue Kai slapped his leg excitedly and said loudly, "Shen Xinya is the G.o.ddess of my heart, I definitely can't miss her concert here in Shanghai!"

Xiao Luo, who was biting an orange furiously as if it was his worst enemy, looked at Yue Kai out of the corner of his eye and said in a low voice, "I thought you were after that first-year girl who watches anime?"

Yue Kai looked at him as if he was an idiot and said disdainfully, "What do you know? Shen Xinya is my platonic love, an impossible one! Who doesn't know that countless men of all ages constantly chase her but she won't even give them a glance? Just seeing her beauty from afar and hearing her beautiful voice is enough to feel grateful!"

Hu Chen nodded earnestly and remarked, "That's right, Xiao Luo. You say that because back in your hometown you have a fiancée waiting for you. However, you must admit that Shen Xinya is a beauty on another level. What young man does not dream once or twice in his life to hug such a beauty? Not all of us are as lucky as certain people!" These last words were said while looking at Xie Feng.

"Fortunately Shen Xinya is an untouchable G.o.ddess." Yue Kai said somewhat relieved and continued, "Even if it's the young master gallant in front of us, it's impossible to move the heart of a G.o.ddess like her."

As they listened to the three of them ramble on and on, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue couldn't help but give Xie Feng a strange look.

Xie Feng drank a cup of tea that Xie Yao had prepared earlier and didn't seem to have noticed the look on the girls' faces. He focused on the cup of tea in his hands as if it was a very interesting object, which caused the two beauties to secretly roll their eyes.

If Yue Kai and Hu Chen, who seemed to have received an impossible love crush by Cupid's mistake, knew that the "untouchable G.o.ddess" Shen Xinya seemed more than a little interested in the "young master gallant" Xie Feng, then what kind of face would they put on? Maybe they would spit some blood and throw a white glove at Xie Feng, challenging him to a duel before dawn on a remote mountain hill? Just imagining the situation was amusing to Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue.

Xie Feng slowly opened his eyes, previously closed while enjoying the fruity taste of the tea he was drinking, and casually said, "If you want, I can give you some tickets for the VIP seats at Shen Xinya's concert."

Silence...

The voices of the three young men stopped abruptly, with Hu Chen and Yue Kai giving Xie Feng looks of disbelief.

"Older brother Xie... You... What did you say?" Hu Chen opened his eyes wide, looking at Xie Feng as if he was a monstrosity.

Xie Feng shrugged his shoulders and said with a regretful tone, "Oh, what a pity. Forget it, since they don't want those tickets then I guess I'll just give them to someone else or throw them away."

""NO!"" Yue Kai and Hu Chen stood up at the same time and shouted in a panicked voice.

Yue Kai smiled harmlessly and said in a low voice: "Old-older brother Xie Feng, don't do crazy things.... Don't be mischievous... ha... ha ha ha ha.... Of course we want the tickets, don't we old Hu?"

Yue Kai's voice was as soft as if he was talking to a baby and was afraid of scaring it causing the child's crying to suddenly burst out. Hu Chen didn't even take a second to nod and said quickly, "Of course, of course.... We want those tickets.. he he he ...."

Xie Feng gave them a look of disdain and finally stopped teasing them, "I'll take them to the university tomorrow. I have several anyway."

Hu Chen and Yue Kai took their seats again. After a moment's consideration Hu Chen asked, "It's great that you have VIP tickets but.... How did you get them? As far as I know, the special tickets were sold out only two minutes after they were put on sale.... Even on the net you can't get them."

Indeed. Shen Xinya's popularity was simply too huge.

In total, the number of VIP tickets that had been prepared for Shen Xinya's concert in Shanghai was only fifty; in short, only fifty people could access special seats where they were seated only one or two meters from her, watching her sing and dance on stage. However, even a fool knew that those fifty tickets would never fall into the hands of a normal person. To say that thousands and tens of thousands of wealthy young masters from powerful families were trying to court the most beautiful woman in Asia was not exaggerating in the least, on the contrary, perhaps it was underestimating Shen Xinya's influence. Therefore, those fifty special tickets were not something that could be obtained just by having the money to buy them.

"Mmm... For the safety of your weak hearts, let's say an acquaintance gave them to me." Xie Feng thought about it and finally left it at that.

For others it might be difficult to get special tickets, but for him? It was too easy. In truth, Xie Feng didn't even have to ask for them; right after he arrived in Shanghai, even before he could get home, the two security guards of the Golden Emperor Villa Complex handed him a small package telling him that a beautiful woman in her thirties had left it for him. After a few more questions, Xie Feng learned that this beautiful woman was Yin Yue.

When Xie Feng opened the package after arriving home, he was not too surprised to see ten special tickets for Shen Xinya's concert along with a small note written by herself reminding him that he should attend her concert no matter what.

Xie Feng had thought that, since he along with the two girls living with him would only take three tickets, he might as well give the rest away to people close to him. Therefore, after chatting it over with the two beauties, it was decided that three tickets would go to his three college friends and the rest he would give to Mu Wuying for her to distribute to her roommates.

After the matter of the tickets was finished, everyone continued chatting for a few more minutes.

The Samsara world had all kinds of fruits that existed in the real world but there were also many other kinds of precious fruits that did not exist in the real world.

These fruits that did not exist in the real world could only be harvested and cared for by a player or NPC with the "Gardener" cla.s.s. However, since the quality of the fruit depended on how high the level of the skill "Accelerated Growth" or "Harvest" was, players at the current stage of the game could only have the level of those skills at "Beginner" level so it was difficult to harvest special fruits. Xie Feng had even heard that some precious fruits could even increase attributes permanently; of course, such divine fruits were not something that could be obtained casually.

However, since this mansion previously belonged to the king of Eminentis City, there were all kinds of fruits planted in the back garden of the mansion. The only unfortunate thing was that since Xie Feng did not know anyone with the Gardener cla.s.s, the fruits would run out once they were all consumed.

Xiao Luo picked up a strange pale blue fruit and bit into it, enjoying the sweetness filling his mouth. Then, he suddenly seemed to think of something and casually asked, "Oh, right.... Older Brother Xie, since the currency exchange system opened I guess you must have exchanged some money for gold?"

"Em. I did the paperwork to get a fund card and incidentally added some money since it was convenient and easy anyway." Xie Feng nodded and took out the golden card, waving it lightly. With this card, the exchange between real money and virtual coins could be easily done by going to a bank, inside special houses within the virtual world, and even through the internet.

"And how much did you add?" Xiao Luo asked out of curiosity as he took another bite of the strange fruit.

"Not that much since there was no need." Xie Feng shook his head and said casually, "Just five hundred million Chinese yuan."

"*Pu!... Cough, cough, cough!*" Xiao Luo spat out the fruit he was about to swallow and started coughing furiously.

Five hundred million of Chinese yuan? Half a billion yuan! Converted into U.S. dollars, the amount Xie Feng had on the card in his hand was eight hundred thousand dollars... Such an amount was so big that even after working hard for a lifetime, most people in the world could never get their hands on it!
