Currently, among the valuable items that Chen Xiaozhao has obtained from the apocalypse, gold is the easiest to liquidate.
However, due to the special source of this gold and its large quantity, Chen Xiaozhao is hesitant to sell it at a gold shop for fear of exposing himself.
Previously, he had Jindeli find a friend in the underworld to introduce a black market gold dealer to buy this gold.
The black market buys Pure Gold at a price that is 60 to 70 percent lower than the market rate, but the advantage is that it does not trace back to its origins.
If the other party is reliable, Chen Xiaozhao plans to continue using this channel to sell gold.
That afternoon, it was Jindeli's first time going to Chang'an City, which is 50 kilometers away, to meet with the black market gold dealer for a transaction.
Although Jindeli grew up with Chen Xiaozhao and they are close friends, Chen Xiaozhao did not reveal his secret of being able to traverse the apocalypse to Jindeli.
This matter is too mysterious and dangerous; Chen Xiaozhao does not want to involve Jindeli in it.
Unlike Chen Xiaozhao's quick-witted mind, Jindeli tends to be more straightforward and believes whatever Chen Xiaozhao says.
Every time he returns from the apocalypse, Chen Xiaozhao is covered in a foul smell. He tells Jindeli that it is from hunting and fishing in the Mountain area, and Jindeli believes him without question.
Chen Xiaozhao mentions wanting to develop Fish Oil flavored Roujiamo in their shop. Although this Fish Oil has a bit of a fishy smell, he argues that it benefits customers' health and can be considered a green and healthy improvement. Over time, customers will surely accept it.
In response, the food lover Jindeli may have some reservations, but since Brother Zao has decided to do it, he fully supports him!
Moreover, Chen Xiaozhao claimed that he picked up all this gold while hunting in the Mountain, and Jindeli was so excited that he didn't suspect anything at all.
That evening, Jindeli exchanged 1,000 grams of gold for 100,000 yuan and returned to Gubei Town in an extraordinary state of excitement.
As soon as he got off the long-distance bus and had not yet left the station, Jindeli heard about Chen Xiaozhao's glorious deeds at Old Gou Hot Spring.
Jindeli was immediately shocked!
Although Brother Zao's character wasn't particularly strong, he would never engage in such despicable and filthy acts!
What happened to his integrity?
Was it eaten by a dog!?
Jindeli rushed home anxiously and shouted as soon as he opened the door, "Brother Zao! Brother Zao! Are you there?"
"What are you shouting about? Do you want everyone to know how loud your voice is?"
Leaning on a non-slip iron crutch, Chen Xiaozhao walked out of the bedroom shirtless, revealing his bronze steel muscles.
Around his waist and lower abdomen, a roll of bandage was wrapped tightly, spiraling down to his left thigh.
This bandage was applied by Chen Xiaozhao himself; it looked somewhat messy and appeared quite tragic.
"Who did this! Brother Zao, you tell me, I'll take care of it for you!"
Jindeli was anxious; he thought Chen Xiaozhao had really been beaten up for peeping, as the neighbors had said.
"Who are you taking care of? You should take a look at your own bike seat. Did you hear about what happened to me at Old Gou Hot Spring?"
"Yeah!"
Jindeli hurried over and supported Chen Xiaozhao, asking, "Brother Zao, did you really go peeping on the actress while she was bathing? That's not like you! When we were kids, Big Gang took us to the women's bathhouse to sneak a peek at the aunties from the welfare home, and you never went because you thought it was beneath you. How come you have this habit now?"
Chen Xiaozhao frowned and said, "I see you're just as fat and out of shape; you're the one who probably has that habit!"
"So what really happened? People outside are saying you were caught peeping on an actress and got beaten up by the crew."
"Bullshit, I got gored by a wild boar, it wasn't the crew that hit me."
Chen Xiaozhao casually made up a story: "I've been looking for gold in Old Mountain these past few days, and today I ran into a wild boar. I tried to run away, but it gored me right in the left butt cheek. That wild boar chased me all the way to Old Gou Hot Spring. I was so scared that I hid in the hot spring. Who would have thought that a film crew would come there to shoot later? That's how the misunderstanding started."
"I see. But why didn't you explain it to the crew? The whole town is saying you were peeping on an actress."
"I did explain, but they didn't believe me! I almost wanted to spill everything about my gold digging in Old Mountain."
"You absolutely cannot say that!"
Jindeli was even more nervous than Chen Xiaozhao, fearing that news of the gold in Old Mountain would leak out and someone else would snatch it away.
"Come on, let them spread whatever rumors they want. We don't care, as long as we can find the gold."
Jindeli asked in surprise, "Did you... find something again?!"
"Of course!" Chen Xiaozhao said proudly. "I've been to the ridge for so many days; I can't just go back empty-handed. This time, I found a big gold bar!"
Jindeli exclaimed with joy, "Brother Zao, I have to kneel before you! You truly are an unbeatable gold collector! Every time you go to the ridge for a few days, you manage to find gold! Take me with you next time!"
Chen Xiaozhao glanced at Jindeli disdainfully. "With your body like that, if you go deeper into the ridge, those wild beasts will make a meal out of you. You should just enjoy your comfort in the shop; I'll handle the dangerous stuff myself."
Jindeli insisted, "If I go with you, I can keep an eye on you. Just like this afternoon's situation—how dangerous it was! If I were there..."
"If you were there, we'd both be dead! With you dragging along like a big meatball, I'd be lucky to escape."
"Hehe, at least I could be your shield."
"Please, if something really happened, I'd be grateful if you didn't use me as a shield."
"Brother Zao, that's really discouraging!"
"I haven't even said anything more discouraging yet. Just stick to what you're capable of doing, Fatty, and don't make things worse for me."
Chen Xiaozhao casually asked, "On a serious note, did everything go smoothly for you in Chang'an this afternoon? Did you sell the gold bars?"
"I sold them!"
Jindeli excitedly patted the shoulder bag he had been holding tightly, "Cash on delivery! One hundred thousand in cash! All brand new bills freshly withdrawn from the bank, the ink smell hasn't even faded yet!"
Chen Xiaozhao took the bag from Jindeli's hands, pulled out a stack of crisp bills to smell, and his face was filled with pure delight!
Not to brag, but at his age, Chen Xiaozhao had never seen so much cash before!
Fat Jin was even more astonished.
Usually, this chubby guy counted every penny, stretching a dollar as far as it could go. He would consider it a loss if he left home without his wallet and would haggle for over half an hour just to buy a few scallions.
Now, seeing so much cash felt like a dream to Fat Jin; his happy face was almost cramping from smiling.
"Is the buyer reliable? What do you think of his capabilities?" Chen Xiaozhao inquired.
"Absolutely reliable! That boss is known as 'Dragon Lord.' On the surface, he runs a shop in the Antique Market, but behind the scenes, he reportedly does all kinds of business. Not only does he buy gold on the black market, but he also dares to deal in precious antiques and cultural relics!"
"Antiques and cultural relics?" Chen Xiaozhao's eyes lit up.
