Novel Full Chapter 16 - 16
[The Concentration Boost Serum is ready for injection. Proposing that the user delay the injection time until tonight before sleep]
Stein's suggestion made the bottle of serum used one of the available space in his spatial inventory.
"Is there an after-effect from using this serum? Why would you propose something like this if it was safe to use?" Zhang Qin Feng asked such a question because, in his mentality, there's no such thing as an enhancer without paying something back in exchange.
[Of course, there will be some after-effect. It is estimated that the user will suffer some hallucination, nightmare, and motionless when the enhancer is taking effect]
Stein said.
"If that's the case... I'll follow your suggestion. What about the processing system that we've collected from the villa?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. He's curious about the electronic piece in his bag.
[It would have to be repaired before the user can make use of it. Would you like the system to proceed with it by spending two Duranium Shards?]
"Go ahead." Zhang Qin Feng nodded as he kept the Phalanx X-02 back into his spatial inventory. Changing his clothing and quickly swallowing two hard-boiled eggs in a few chew, he left the house and went to work as usual.
"Morning, uncle." Zhang Qin Feng greeted his uncle the moment he entered the Cash and Carry. Without even needing his uncle to instruct him on what to do, he immediately started his day by moving the older products out to make way to new items.
This was his usual day-to-day work until the delivery orders came one by one.
"Shop 30, 32, 34. and 40. Then you'll come back for shop 19, 33, 50." Zhang Qin Feng's uncle kept the delivery orders coming in as Zhang Qin Feng packed them together before delivering a few of them at once.
Once in a while, he would have to repeatedly move up and down across the same place twice because their order came inconsistently at different times. But his hard work eventually paid off when he got the sweet 100 dollars banknote at the end of the day.
Adding up today's total into his pocket, Zhang Qin Feng now had a thousand dollars exactly in his pocket. Furthermore, it is bound to increase today because he's going to sell something at a jeweler nearby.
"I'm leaving, uncle. Thank you, and see you tomorrow." Zhang Qin Feng waved his hand and left after pulling the shop's shutter down.
After leaving the shop, he headed straight to a jeweler store in the Qingzhou Mall located inside the town center. It was thanks to Stein monitoring the news to know that the rate of selling scrap silver was the highest ever today.
"Hello, this young customer. Are you buying or selling today? Please rest assured as our Suihe branch of jeweler is well known for offering the most affordable price to our customers." a male staff approached Zhang Qin Feng.
"Hello there... Can I ask if you're buying scrap silver? I have a few pieces of collectible silver that I would like to sell." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Of course! Would the customer please follow me to this corner, please?" the male staff put on a pair of latex gloves and invited Zhang Qin Feng to a quieter spot.
And before he started, he went on with their obligation of mentioning to Zhang Qin Feng that their discussion is recorded by the security camera for safety purposes.
The male staff started after he received a nod from Zhang Qin Feng. A tray is then placed on top of a jeweler's scale to prepare to measure the authenticity of the precious metal Zhang Qin Feng is taking out.
With the five silver pieces placed on the electronic scale, the number went up to a little over 500 grams. Three green lights were lit on the scale, which indicates the legitness of the precious metal he brought.
"Based on the exchange rate for silver, it is possible for me to offer you the price of 2,300 dollars for them. Would you like to proceed with the transaction?" the male staff asked.
"Yes, please." Zhang Qin Feng nodded as he allowed the worker to print a receipt from the electronic scale. After making sure he left his signature on both copies, the male staff excused himself as he went into the cashier room to deposit the precious metal.
'2,300 dollars. Added with the 1,000 dollars in my pocket, I now have enough for three months worth of rent. What else can we do to grow it further, Stein?' Zhang Qin Feng smiled.
About a week ago, he was still a nobody with less than a hundred dollars in his pocket. But having this mere sum is nowhere enough to satisfy him as he still wants more.
[There are a few options, but none of them are available to you right now. I would suggest that the user use this time to slowly build your financial situation first. Furthermore, your foundation right now is too weak]
'Fo - Foundation?' Zhang Qin Feng stuttered. He's somewhat confused by the reason Stein applied this word to describe his situation.
'Will there be a fight or something?' he thought.
[Yes. A stable financial foundation is crucial before more option is open for the user. For example, if I say that I can predict the roulette's result, do the user think you have enough capital to go for the game?]
'Can you?' Zhang Qin Feng got excited.
[Yes, I can. But expect the supplies of energy to be exhausted after one or two games. How many days would you like to keep it going that way?]
'...'
'Dear customer, the transaction is complete. This is your 2,300 dollars from selling the precious metal with us." the male staff extends his hands with the envelope to Zhang Qin Feng politely.
"Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need anything else. I've included my card inside, so please come and look for me again next time," the male staff said.
"I will. Thank you for your time today." after keeping the envelope in the inner pocket, Zhang Qin Feng left.
And the moment he came out from the jeweler store, Zhang Qin Feng coincidently stumble across someone.
"Hey! What a coincidence! Let's go and get some food!" unknown why he's so lucky, Zhang Qin Feng was caught by the gluttonous Tang Xin.
