Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

"Phew, finally finished sending them out!"

There were many flyers for the gym. Xu Zhiyi and Lin Wei only rested for half an hour during lunch. They worked the rest of the time and didn't finish handing them out until 5 p.m.

Lin Wei stretched, and the hem of her T-shirt rode up with her movement, revealing her well-defined abs.

Xu Zhiyi was already used to it.

He had known for a long time that this short-haired girl was not only a top student, but also had excellent athletic talent, and had won the women's 400-meter championship at the school's autumn sports meet last year.

At this moment, this prodigy who was skilled in both literature and martial arts reached out and patted Xu Zhiyi on the shoulder, speaking in a bossy manner: "You've worked hard today. I'll transfer your wages to you after I hand over the work to the manager."

"Okay, see you later."

Xu Zhiyi nodded goodbye and watched Lin Wei leave.

He then carried his schoolbag to the nearby "Baoqing Silver Shop".

This is a long-established chain store, and it's quite large.

As you push open the store door, a cool breeze from the air conditioner hits you.

"Welcome." A sales clerk in a business suit greeted us with a professional smile. "What would you like, a ring or a necklace?"

"Do you accept silver here?" Xu Zhiyi asked politely.

"Received."

The shop assistant led him to a separate counter on the side with a small sign that read "Gold and Silver Recycling Appraisal". Behind the counter sat a middle-aged appraiser wearing glasses.

"What do you want to recycle?"

"Silver ingots".

As Xu Zhiyi spoke, she took out the two small silver ingots from her schoolbag and carefully placed them on the counter.

The appraiser picked up the ingot, weighed it in his hand, and examined it several times. "The quality is good. There are no marks on it. It should be from a small private workshop."

However, as long as it's pure silver, it won't affect the recycling process.

He placed the silver ingot on a machine behind him. "We have a spectrometer in our shop. Let me test its purity for you first... It's free, no money required."

Xu Zhiyi nodded and stood by the counter waiting for the result.

Just then, the shop door was pushed open, and a familiar voice squeezed in.

"Oh, Mom, don't worry about it. Dad just wants to buy Grandma a little gold Buddha with a silver plating! It's not pure gold; it just needs a thin layer of gold plating. It's mostly silver, so it doesn't cost much!"

Xu Zhiyi recognized the voice as belonging to his "good classmate" Zhou Mingyu. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he did not turn around and continued to calmly look at the machine.

"What do you mean it's not much money? Silver is 24 yuan per gram now! To order a small gold Buddha, even if it's hollow, it would take at least several hundred grams of silver, right?"

Zhou's mother sounded very distressed.

"Alright, alright, you should say less," Zhou's father said somewhat irritably. "Next month is my mother's 70th birthday, and we should buy her something decent to show our respect. It's okay if it's a little expensive."

Furthermore, when gold and silver prices first started rising last year, I said I wanted to buy them, but you insisted on waiting and seeing! As a result, they've almost doubled in value now!

If you don't buy now, the price might go up again in a few days!

"So you're blaming me?" Zhou's mother grumbled, dissatisfied. "I was just hoping the price of silver would drop so we could save some money when we bought it, right? Who knew the price would rise so ridiculously?"

At this moment, Zhou Mingyu, who was walking at the front, had already seen Xu Zhiyi. He immediately felt embarrassed and turned around to tug at his mother's arm, "Mom, please stop talking, people will laugh at us!"

"Who's laughing at me? Do I look like a joke?"

Zhou's mother was in a very bad mood, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. The shop assistants around her were very tactful and avoided her gaze, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire.

Finally, she saw Xu Zhiyi standing in front of the counter.

"That classmate of yours again?" Zhou's mother raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with annoyance and undisguised contempt. "How come I run into him everywhere? Is he here to hand out flyers or to freeload off the air conditioning?"

From her perspective, the "Gold and Silver Recycling and Appraisal" sign was blocked.

She only saw Xu Zhiyi standing alone by the counter, without even a sales assistant next to her, clearly not there to buy anything.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mr. Zhou glared at her, then nodded to Xu Zhiyi as a greeting.

Xu Zhiyi nodded politely to him.

As for Zhou Mingyu and his mother standing nearby, they pretended not to see it.

He now knew where Zhou Mingyu's sense of superiority came from.

If the mother is like this, how can the son be any better?

At this point, the silver ingots had also been tested.

The appraiser took the two silver ingots back and placed them on an electronic scale. "They weigh a total of 420 grams. These two silver ingots are of very high purity, and we can buy them back at the price of pure silver."

Today's buyback price is 22.85 yuan per gram. This is the market price, and it's the same at every shop. If you go to a precious metals recycling shop, it might only be a few cents more.

"No need, this price is fine."

Xu Zhiyi had checked online beforehand and had a general idea of ​​the price.

"Okay." The appraiser readily agreed. "The total is 9597, I'll round it up to 9600. Do you want cash or a bank transfer?"

"Transfer the money."

Xu Zhiyi took out her phone.

"Where did he get the money?"

Zhou Mingyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Nine thousand six hundred yuan!

This number is not a small amount for a high school student!

Unless they are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, children from ordinary families usually don't have much pocket money during high school.

"Where did such a young child get so much money? Could it be... he 'found' it somewhere?"

Zhou's mother also started muttering, her voice not loud, but loud enough for everyone near the counter to hear clearly.

Xu Zhiyi frowned slightly, took the receipt from the middle-aged man, and after confirming that the 9,600 yuan had been transferred into his wallet, he slowly turned around and looked at Zhou's mother, spouting nonsense with a straight face:

"The aunt said they were found, which is not wrong. After all, when I bought these silver coins two years ago, they were only four yuan per gram. These two silver ingots only cost a little over a thousand yuan in total."

I never expected that after storing it for over a year, it would sell for so much money.

"Bought it the year before last?"

Mr. Zhou's eyes widened slightly, and his gaze towards Xu Zhiyi held a hint of astonishment. "You were just starting high school two years ago, right? You dared to invest your part-time job money in silver at such a young age?"

Zhou's mother was speechless for a moment.

From just over four yuan to twenty-four yuan, in two years, the return was more than five times!

This is only a little over a thousand in principal.

If it were her, she would have bought something for tens of thousands of yuan, and now wouldn't she be...?

Zhou's mother felt as if something had stabbed her in the heart, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

Zhou Mingyu, standing to the side, felt extremely embarrassed.

At noon, he was just showing off his milk tea that cost 31 yuan a cup.

But now?

He invested his part-time job money in silver in his first year of high school and quietly made five or six times the profit!

He would only ask his parents for pocket money.

What is meant by "gap"?

That's it!

Seeing the wonderful expressions on Zhou Mingyu and the others' faces, Xu Zhiyi felt exceptionally refreshed, even more so than if she had eaten a slice of chilled watermelon.

Yes, he was bragging!

But so what?

When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

However, besides disgusting Zhou Mingyu and the others, the more important reason he fabricated this lie was to find a plausible source for the silver, so as to prevent others from gossiping behind his back.

One must know that public opinion can be a powerful force.

Especially in this internet age.
