Chapter 9: The Intelligence Department's Attention! Another Million Dollars Deposited

However, at this moment, high above the skies of Syria.

A colossal object, seemingly merged with the darkness, vanished instantly upon mission completion like a popped bubble.

No one knew how it had appeared or how it disappeared.

That was technology humanity currently could not possibly master.

After finalizing the order, a deal worth one million US dollars, approximately six million Chinese yuan, was confirmed.

It followed the same principle: payment first.

The Syrian militants spent one million US dollars.

As agreed, both parties would complete the delivery via airdrop within one week.

After all, even an arms dealer representing a nation could not produce such a large quantity of goods all at once.

It was only reasonable to require some time for preparation.

However, the Syrian side also expressed hope to add artillery and certain missile weapons to their list in the future.

Regarding this, Lin Yi, who had not yet unlocked the artillery and missile catalogs, could only say:

"Your side has not yet reached the required spending tier; to acquire artillery and missiles, you must spend over five million US dollars!"

Lin Yi had established a set of rules for arms trading based on the protocols of luxury boutiques.

Silver VIP Clients: (100,000 USD – 5,000,000 USD)

Gold VIP Clients: (5,000,000 USD – 100,000,000 USD)

Diamond VIP Clients: (100,000,000 USD – 10,000,000,000 USD)

According to this standard, Lin Yi would only export corresponding weaponry once sufficient spending was achieved.

When the Syrian side received this VIP explanation, they did not find it abrupt.

After all, Longguo arms were currently very popular in the international market.

Without sufficient strength, the Longguo military would naturally not take an interest in ordinary clients.

However, what Lin Yi did not know was that

with his transactions and the VIP guidelines he established,

the "Longguo Unofficial Weapon Flagship Store" was gradually becoming famous in the Middle East.

The Syrian militants had inadvertently spread the information.

Soon, several well-known armed forces in the Middle East,

including Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Taliban in Iraq, and Hamas in Palestine, received the news

that a Longguo arms company was dumping weapons cheaply into the Middle East region.

An AK-47 was quoted at only one-third of the international price.

Moreover, once a certain transaction volume was reached, even more advanced weapons would become available.

Of course, the prerequisite was having money.

Fortunately, at this time, Lin Yi's order volume was still very small.

Furthermore, the variety was single, not yet touching the cake of some international arms dealers.

At most, he was just eating some crumbs from the edge of the cake.

Naturally, those interest groups would not make any major moves over this.

Even so, the "Longguo Unofficial Weapon Flagship Store" had still made it onto the CIA's list,

and the information had been reported upward.

As for what specific measures to take, the CIA had not yet decided.

After all, they did not know whether this "flagship store" operated with the official consent of Longguo.

If it did, then clearly, American interests had been touched.

The United States might take some measures.

In addition, the Domestic Security Bureau also learned of the "Longguo Unofficial Weapon Flagship Store" intelligence for the first time.

Unfortunately, including the United States,

no clues could be found on the internet whatsoever.

This was naturally because the system had scrubbed everything online that could possibly expose Lin Yi.

Furthermore, the new login portal had been set up on the dark web.

Even if American intelligence organizations wanted to locate these dark web sites, it would be extremely difficult.

However, Lin Yi at this moment knew nothing of all this.

The next day, he got up early to exercise as usual.

He was not affected in the slightest by the arms transaction, nor did he become so excited by the over six million Chinese yuan deposited the previous night

that he lost all sense of proportion.

To be honest, although Lin Yi craved money and hoped to earn a lot,

he possessed his own philosophy regarding wealth.

He would not become so agitated from earning a little money that he forgot who he was.

He understood deeply that his ability to earn this money was not due to his own prowess,

but rather the power of the system.

Therefore, while he felt excitement, he felt very little sense of personal accomplishment.

After finishing his daily exercise,

since he had classes in the morning, Lin Yi obediently attended half a day of lessons.

In the afternoon, he headed to an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China branch not far from the school.

In the afternoon, he went to an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China branch not far from the school.

At this moment, it had been nearly a month since the start of the school term in September.

During this month, he had conducted business at the school and earned some money.

Most of these payments were made by scanning Alipay or WeChat QR codes.

However, some people still used cash.

Among this cash, there were still quite a few coins of one jiao, and bills of one yuan, five yuan, and ten yuan.

Altogether, it amounted to nearly two thousand.

It was a large pile of small change that clinked and clattered.

Therefore, at the end of every month, he would come to the nearby Industrial and Commercial Bank to deposit this money.

Upon arriving at the bank, he casually took a queue number ticket,

and sat down on a chair to wait.

After about ten minutes had passed,

the lobby broadcast sounded:

"Customer A101, please proceed to Window 2 to handle your business!"

"Customer A101, please proceed to Window 2 to handle your business!"

Thus, Lin Yi took the canvas bag filled with money and approached the counter.

The bank teller, a young lady, spoke in a formulaic manner:

"May I ask what business you would like to conduct?"

"I want to deposit some small change into this card!"

Saying this, he handed over both the card and the pile of small change.

The bank teller then swiped the debit card,

while simultaneously taking the pile of small change to count it.

However, when the teller inadvertently saw the balance on Lin Yi's card, she was greatly startled.

As a small Industrial and Commercial Bank branch serving the nearby schools,

it was rare for the bank tellers to see such a balance.

Including the money that had arrived last night, Lin Yi's deposit at the Industrial and Commercial Bank reached over 7.35 million.

This was clearly not the wealth an ordinary student should possess.

However, since the banking regulatory authorities had not taken any action regarding this sum,

it was evident that this money must be legal income.

Thus, the female teller's eyes shifted slightly, and she smiled at Lin Yi, saying:
