I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1418 - 1422: Selling Silver

"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, merely surviving a "Grim Reaper" attack was already fortunate, and preventing or even countering the "Grim Reaper" was out of the question.

But Zhang Menglong was different; he was someone 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 same level at all.

"I need you to gather some things for me," Zhang Menglong said, "Be careful on your way, and we'll meet here at this location later!"

Zhang Menglong 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 Menglong 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 Menglong's advice a lot and figured following his lead couldn't go wrong!

"Let's split up then!"

...

Zhang Menglong's plan was simple: defeat the Grim Reaper using Buddhist Law and mysticism.

However, now Zhang Menglong'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 some 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 times the purchasing power compared to Huaxia on Earth.

Zhang Menglong casually found a precious metal store. In this world, gold and silver elements didn't exist, and precious metals valuable on Earth seemed worthless here.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" a staff member asked.

"I'd like to sell some precious metals. Which kinds do you purchase here?" Zhang Menglong responded.

"We only buy back a small portion of precious metals here. These are today's buyback prices. Feel free to have a look!" The staff indicated a screen beside the counter, showing the metals' prices that varied daily.

"Oh, I intend to sell silver," Zhang Menglong pointed at the highest-value metal called Mo Silver, priced at approximately 523 Blue Crystal Yuan per gram today.

Gou Dan had told Zhang Menglong that Mo Silver metal also existed in Universe Seven. It was used for spaceship construction. Zhang Menglong had once stockpiled a batch on that universe's trading market for Earth's development, 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 Menglong smiled. "This civilization isn't much more advanced than Earth's; any random Level Two civilization has superior metal 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 metal. 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 mention it, I'm reassured," Zhang Menglong said.

"Sir, your items..."

"Uh, there's probably not enough space here..." Zhang Menglong looked around and walked directly to the employee's parking area.

With a "boom," a massive piece of metal landed on the ground.

"This..." The staff's eyes widened immediately. In their world, space storage devices hadn't been invented yet. What Zhang Menglong did seemed like magic.

They thought Zhang Menglong'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 Menglong asked.

"Please wait a moment!"

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 instrument showed this Mo Silver's purity to be 100%! The instrument'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 measure 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 measured several tons didn't have high precision.

"2826.2 kilograms, sir, we might not have more accurate equipment..." The staff was a bit embarrassed.

"It's fine. Let's count it as 2826 kg; a little money difference doesn't matter," Zhang Menglong said.

"Please wait, this is a substantial sum. I need to confirm with our headquarters first."

"Sure, I'll wait here," Zhang Meng knew a transaction of such magnitude wasn't something 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 me," said Zhang Menglong 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 Menglong didn't have much time.

"Well, since Mo Silver is a valuable metal, 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 documentation, 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 meant for acquiring some equipment that we can use to pay you first!"

"That's excellent!" Zhang Menglong immediately 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 Menglong's account.

"Pleasure doing business," Zhang Menglong said, waving as he vanished at the end of the street.
