Chapter 11: Selling Gold!

  The trip to Beijing was fleeting, with Lin Tian and his group being escorted by two cars, one in front and one behind, speeding towards Haitian City. The return journey was uneventful, and after four hours, they had already arrived back in Haitian City. The two escort vehicles merged into the traffic flow and disappeared from view, while Lin Tian and his group got off the car near Haitian University.

  "Lin Tian, this is my phone number, contact me if you need anything." Just before getting off the bus, Zhou Yao stuffed a small piece of paper into Lin Tian's hand. Looking at the paper, Lin Tian only then realized that he didn't even have a complete mobile phone yet. "Looks like I should dispose of that gold brick quickly, otherwise a financial crisis might occur soon!" Lin Tian muttered to himself. Before university, he had always relied on his own hard work to make a living, but now it was different. The Star Ring was a treasure trove with endless riches waiting for him to dig up. If he still wasted time trying to earn a little money, that would be ungrateful to the heavens' favor towards him!

  It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Tian estimated that it would be just in time to go and deal with the gold now, so he said to Zuo Yunfei and the others: "You guys go back to school first, I have something to take care of!" "Third brother, what's going on? We'll help you take care of it, you're injured right now!" Zuo Yunfei said.

  Lin Tian smiled slightly: "My little injury healed long ago, don't worry, I'm not going out to fight with people!"

  Xiao Bai frowned: "Be careful!" Lin Tian nodded, he knew what Xiao Bai meant, not to be careful with his wound, but to guard against the mastermind behind the shooting case making a move on him.

  Haitian City has a gold trading market, but Lin Tian doesn't want to take the gold in the star ring to the trading market to sell it. The origin is not good to explain, and it's better to trade underground directly. Although the price will be suppressed very low, Lin Tian doesn't care about this either. He wants safety!

  Where can the underground gold transaction be conducted, Lin Tian naturally would not know, but some gold shops should accept some unexplained gold, this point Lin Tian can confirm, there is a profit to be made, and it will naturally attract some people to participate, like that unexplained gold, the purchase price is far lower than the normal gold price, the gold shop, of course, has the means to launder black gold into white gold!

  He visited two gold shops in a row, and Lin Tian asked tentatively, but the conclusion was that both gold shops were normal. "Maybe I'm too sensitive, or maybe those two gold shops are too cautious!" Lin Tian thought to himself. Half an hour later, he arrived at the door of another small gold shop. "Jin Zhijia, the name is simple and easy to remember, hopefully I won't have to look for the next one!" Lin Tian muttered to himself as he stepped inside.

  It's already 7 o'clock in the evening, and there are no customers in the store. The owner of the gold shop is about thirty years old, relatively thin, with a pair of eyes fixed on Lin Tian. Looking at Lin Tian's simple clothes, he first slightly furrowed his brow, then looked at Lin Tian tightly covering his pocket, and a gleam of excitement appeared in his eyes.

  "It's a show!" Lin Tian was intentionally doing so to test the shopkeeper's reaction. "What does the customer need to buy?" The thin man enthusiastically approached Lin Tian, his eyes glancing at the pocket that Lin Tian covered with his right hand. "Can I only buy things? I'm not buying anything!" Lin Tian said.

  That skinny guy's eyes rolled over: "Of course not, I occasionally collect some small stuff here, there are connections on top, and there won't be any trouble!" "Found the real owner!" Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief.

  "But mine is no small matter, boss, can you afford it?"

  "Come on, open the door and do business, what's the point of letting customers come for nothing!" The thin man said, "Little brother, why don't we go inside to talk? It's a bit inconvenient here. Xiao Huang, stop watching those trashy videos in there and come out to take care of the store!" As he finished shouting, a young man about Lin Tian's age with messy, multicolored hair walked out from the inner room.

  Lin Tian nodded silently and followed the thin man into the inner room.

  As soon as they entered, the thin man hastily said: "Young brother, may I take a look at the goods?" Lin Tian had taken out the gold block from the star ring and put it in his pocket before entering the door. Upon hearing this, he took out the gold block from his pocket and placed it on the tea table in front of the thin man. The density of gold is very large, and actually one kilogram does not have a large volume, but seeing so much yellow gold at once, the thin man's eyes narrowed slightly. "The small shop's rules do not ask where the guest's goods come from, but the price is only 60% of the normal gold price. Young brother, whether you choose to sell or not, if you sell, I will verify the purity. The purity of gold is different, and the price is also different. This young brother should be clear!"

  "For sale, the purity is 99%, just enough gold. The market price is 200 yuan per gram." Lin Tian said calmly. "Little brother seems to be a kind person, but I still need to test it. If it's tested to be thousand-footed gold, wouldn't little brother be at a loss if he sells it to me as enough gold?!" The thin man said. Gold with 99% purity is enough gold, and 99.9% is thousand-footed gold. Lin Tian picked up the gold ore, which already had a high purity of 99%.

  The gold shop has its own testing equipment, and soon the thin man finished the test. "Gold content is 99.1%, weight is 1003 grams, each gram is 120 yuan, a total of 120360 yuan, little brother calculates whether it is or not?" The thin man said quickly.

  Lin Tian nodded: "Give me cash."

  "Alright, the small shop does have some cash on hand!" The thin man quickly opened a safe and took out a large stack of red bills, handing them over to Lin Tian. "Young brother, count it and also verify its authenticity. Once you leave the shop, we won't be responsible anymore, haha!"

  "Xiao Ling!"

  Xiao Ling naturally knew what Lin Tian meant and quickly said, "Master, the amount is correct, they are all real silver coins." "No need to count, I believe the boss won't be so shortsighted!" Lin Tian said, putting the large stack of red banknotes into a black bag.

  "What does little brother mean?" The thin man's heart was delighted.

  Lin Tian stood up, turned around and walked out: "If there's a chance, I'll cooperate with the boss again. Don't let anyone follow me, or I won't come back!" Lin Tian quickly left the store, leaving the thin boss behind to think with his head down. "Boss, are you going or not?" the young man who looked like a hoodlum asked.

  That skinny guy seemed to have made a decision, waving his hand and saying: "Don't follow him, if he really has a large amount of gold in his hands, we'll lose a big client if we follow him. My skinny Li's vision is still good, he can make us earn a fortune!"

  Not far from the store, taking advantage of no one's attention, Lin Tian flashed the black bag full of money into Xingjie, with Xiaoling present, Lin Tian easily confirmed that he was not being followed.

  Next, Lin Tian naturally wouldn't buy a phone that's only worth a few hundred yuan to cheat himself. With his money, he spent five or six thousand yuan on a powerful and stylish phone. After putting in the SIM card and turning it on, Lin Tian immediately saved Zhou Yao's phone number that she had given him into his contacts. He also remembered Left Yunfei, Xiao Bai, and Wei Feng's numbers and saved them as well. Apart from these people, Lin Tian didn't have any other friends. After thinking for a moment, he gave Zhou Yao a call.

  "Hello, who is this?" Zhou Yao's voice was still as gentle as ever.

  "I'm Lin Tian, this is my phone number, goodbye." Lin Tian said and hung up the phone directly. On the other end of the line, Zhou Yao stared blankly at her phone for a long time before uttering a word: "Weirdo!" "Sister Yao, you got hung up on? Who was it? So cool, they even dared to hang up on your call!" Nan Gong Wan Er, Mu Rong Xue, Qin Ke, and Zhou Yao weren't from the same department, and Qin Ke was even a sophomore, but they all lived in the same dorm room. It's enough to make people sigh that sometimes power is indeed a good thing!

  "Who else could it be? Lin Tian." Zhou Yao saved the number into her phone.

  "Heh heh, let's get real, how did Lin Tian get your phone number?" Nangong Wan'er chuckled and jumped down from the upper bunk bed that was nearly two meters high. "He saved my life, I gave him my number, hoping to be able to help him!" Zhou Yao replied softly.

  Qin Ke was originally surfing the internet, but when he heard Zhou Yao's words, he turned around and said: "Yao Mei, Lin Tian's temperament, you should also understand a bit over the past two days. Do you think he will easily accept your help?" Zhou Yao shook her head, in her conversations with Zuo Yunfei and others, she had also come to realize that Lin Tian was not very willing to accept their help, how could he be so stubborn about accepting hers!

  Lin Tian returned to the dormitory and told Zuo Yunfei his phone number. "Wow, Old Three, did you win the lottery? You actually saved up money to buy this phone, it's several thousand yuan!" Zuo Yunfei exclaimed exaggeratedly. "Yeah, I won a little bit! Let's all go out and have a meal together another day." Lin Tian said casually.

  "Really won the lottery?" Zuo Yunfei's eyes widened as he exclaimed, seeing Lin Tian nodding his head, and shouted, "Heavens! I've been buying for five or six years, and I haven't even won a 10-yuan prize once!"

  Wei Feng interrupted, "Old Fourth, you have so much money that you can't spend it all, why bother buying lottery tickets?" "Old Wei, you just don't understand," Zuo Yunfei closed his eyes and sighed. "The excitement of waiting for the results after placing a bet is not comparable to anything else!"

  "I'll cultivate!" Xiao Bai said, sitting down on the bed with his legs crossed. Left Yunfei stopped being sentimental and also climbed onto the bed to start cultivating. Previously, they thought Lin Tian was just an ordinary person and didn't dare to cultivate in front of him. But after their trip to Beijing, they realized that Lin Tian wasn't simple either, so they started cultivating without worrying about what he would think.

  Wei Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of desolation, he practiced external skills, but compared to Xiao Bai and Zuo Yunfei, he was far inferior. Lin Tian saw it in his eyes, didn't say anything, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind that if there was an opportunity, he would definitely help Wei Feng find a suitable technique.

  Lying in bed, Lin Tian's consciousness entered Xingjie and then entered the world of Dragon Tiger Eight Parts.

  In reality, it was already evening, but in the Tianlong world, on the contrary, it was daytime. It was around 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, and the warm sun shone down. As soon as Lin Tian opened the secret room door, he saw Duan Yu not far away, with Wang Yuyan holding Duan Yun by his side. The two of them were quietly leaning against each other, admiring the flowers, a heartwarming scene.

  The sound of the secret room door opening startled Duan Yu and his companions, both of whom turned their heads around. Lin Tian clapped his hands and said: "Third Brother, Sister-in-law, you two are really enviable!"
