"Brother Zhang, whatever you need us to do, we're ready to follow your lead!" Hui and the others were well aware that with their abilities, rely surviving a "Grim Reaper" attack was already fortunate, and preventing or even countering the "Grim Reaper" was out of the question.
But Zhang nglong was different; he was soone who even dared to challenge the Administrator of the Nine-story Tower world. The "Grim Reaper" was at most the World Force or the Administrator of this world, and they were not on the sa level at all.
"I need you to gather so things for ," Zhang nglong said, "Be careful on your way, and we'll et here at this location later!"
Zhang nglong gave them a set of coordinates, located at an ancient temple in the city that had existed for thousands of years. It was said to be very effective, with a strong stream of devotees visiting.
"Why go there?" Hui and the others didn't understand.
"It's difficult to explain," Zhang nglong said, "But if you encounter danger on the way, try to run to places with Buddha or deity statues; it might slightly reduce the Grim Reaper's pursuit of you."
"Okay, got it!" Even though they didn't understand the mysticism behind it, they respected Zhang nglong's advice a lot and figured following his lead couldn't go wrong!
"Let's split up then!"
...
Zhang nglong's plan was simple: defeat the Grim Reaper using Buddhist Law and mysticism.
However, now Zhang nglong's abilities were only at the level of a Level Two Life Form, and creating magic artifacts was slow. He needed to find a temporary safe place, and that ancient temple, bustling with incense, must be deeply blessed by Buddhist Law, which could at least make the Grim Reaper hold back a little.
Of course, in this world, you still need to use so of the local currency. In this city, they use a currency made from a type of mineral called Blue Crystal Yuan, which has about ten tis the purchasing power compared to Huaxia on Earth.
Zhang nglong casually found a precious tal store. In this world, gold and silver elents didn't exist, and precious tals valuable on Earth seed worthless here.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" a staff mber asked.
"I'd like to sell so precious tals. Which kinds do you purchase here?" Zhang nglong responded.
"We only buy back a small portion of precious tals here. These are today's buyback prices. Feel free to have a look!" The staff indicated a screen beside the counter, showing the tals' prices that varied daily.
"Oh, I intend to sell silver," Zhang nglong pointed at the highest-value tal called Mo Silver, priced at approximately 523 Blue Crystal Yuan per gram today.
Gou Dan had told Zhang nglong that Mo Silver tal also existed in Universe Seven. It was used for spaceship construction. Zhang nglong had once stockpiled a batch on that universe's trading market for Earth's developnt, amounting to several hundred tons.
"Sir, what is the quality and quantity of Mo Silver you wish to sell?" The staff continued politely.
"Rest assured, the quality is absolutely pure," Zhang nglong smiled. "This civilization isn't much more advanced than Earth's; any random Level Two civilization has superior tal refining abilities to them. As for the quantity... it might be a little overwhelming. I'm not sure if you can handle it."
"You're joking, sir. We are the largest chain brand in this city. If we can't buy your Mo Silver, no one else can," the staff responded.
Mo Silver was a valuable rare tal. Typically, a store might only buy back a few hundred grams a day; even for chain stores combined, their daily average was only a few hundred kilograms. This amount of money was of little significance to them.
"Now that you ntion it, I'm reassured," Zhang nglong said.
"Sir, your items..."
"Uh, there's probably not enough space here..." Zhang nglong looked around and walked directly to the employee's parking area.
With a "boom," a massive piece of tal landed on the ground.
"This..." The staff's eyes widened imdiately. In their world, space storage devices hadn't been invented yet. What Zhang nglong did seed like magic.
They thought Zhang nglong's Mo Silver wouldn't be more than a few dozen or even a hundred grams. But this massive piece weighed several tons. They were starting to worry if their chain store's cash flow could handle this huge chunk of Mo Silver.
"Would you like to test the purity first?" Zhang nglong asked.
"Please wait a mont!"
The staff was quite professional. Mo Silver was very soft, and she took a small flake to test. The purity exceeded her imagination.
They usually only achieved a purity of 99.899% at most, but the instrunt showed this Mo Silver's purity to be 100%! The instrunt's precision was one part per million, indicating impurity content was below that level. Was this achievable with the technology of this era?
"Please wait, we'll asure the weight," she said.
Such a massive item was a challenge. Most store scales were small-range, high-precision ones. Putting several tons on them would break them.
But those that asured several tons didn't have high precision.
"2826.2 kilograms, sir, we might not have more accurate equipnt..." The staff was a bit embarrassed.
"It's fine. Let's count it as 2826 kg; a little money difference doesn't matter," Zhang nglong said.
"Please wait, this is a substantial sum. I need to confirm with our headquarters first."
"Sure, I'll wait here," Zhang ng knew a transaction of such magnitude wasn't sothing they could easily facilitate.
A few minutes later, the staff returned with a device resembling a phone, "Sir, our boss would like to communicate with you."
"Sure, give it to ," said Zhang nglong as he took the phone. "Hello, I'm the seller."
"Hello, sir, I'm the owner of this jewelry company."
"Is there a problem? If you can't handle it, I'll find another buyer." In this world, there was the constant threat of Reaper attacks, and Zhang nglong didn't have much ti.
"Well, since Mo Silver is a valuable tal, we need to verify if your sources are legal, so..."
"Your buying price is 523 Blue Crystal Yuan per gram, correct? I'll sell it to you for 500."
"Sir, it's not about the price. Without proper docuntation, we bear significant risks, so..."
"480 Blue Crystal Yuan per gram."
"It's really not about..."
"450, if no deal, I'll go elsewhere."
"Deal!" The owner gritted his teeth, thinking of such great profits. What's a little extra risk?
"I want the money in two hours."
"We don't need two hours. Our company has a fund initially ant for acquiring so equipnt that we can use to pay you first!"
"That's excellent!" Zhang nglong imdiately had Gou Dan set up a black account for him; such tasks were child's play for Gou Dan.
Indeed, in less than half an hour, 1.271 billion Blue Crystal Yuan appeared in Zhang nglong's account.
"Pleasure doing business," Zhang nglong said, waving as he vanished at the end of the street.
