Chapter 5: Massive Sale

~7 min read 1,209 words

He roughly calculated, and even he was startled by that number. Seventy gold bracelets—how much money would that be?

"No, can't do too many of the same thing at once; it's easy to run into problems."

Qin Hao quickly calmed down. He still understood the principle of slow and steady progress.

He decided to first copy ten bracelets to test the waters.

With the previous experience, this copying was easy. He first placed the gold bracelet he had bought for nearly twenty thousand in his hand.

"System, give me ten copies!"

【Copy target: gold bracelet. Quantity: 10. Consumes 3800 Energy Points. Confirm?】

"Confirm!"

Almost the moment the thought fell, Qin Hao felt a heaviness in his hand,

followed by a few light "clang clang" sounds, ten shiny gold bracelets appeared out of thin air on the table, together with the original one,

a full eleven, and looking at them, they all seemed to be carved from the same mold.

"Beautiful!" Qin Hao picked up a copy, weighed it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Next came monetizing.

He deliberately changed into clean clothes, put on an ordinary backpack, wrapped each of the ten bracelets in soft cloth, and carefully placed them inside the bag.

To avoid suspicion, Qin Hao had planned a route.

He didn't choose those large chain gold shops, but specifically picked medium-sized or slightly smaller jewelry and gold-silver recycling shops in different districts of the city.

Moreover, he sold only one bracelet per shop, moving to a different place each time.

Soon Qin Hao successfully sold the bracelet at the first shop, earning yuan.

Holding the money and walking out of the shop, Qin Hao felt his whole body light-headed.

The cost of a few hundred kilowatt-hours of electricity instantly turned into over sixteen thousand! This money-making speed is practically faster than a printing press!

He suppressed his excitement and continued on to the next shop.

……

Thus, Qin Hao shuttled nonstop through the streets and alleys of Zhou Cheng.

Some bosses were straightforward, while others deliberately tried to press the price down; Qin Hao didn't dwell on it, and as long as the price wasn't outrageous, he basically made the deal.

When he came out of the tenth shop, it was already past three in the afternoon.

The backpack's bracelets were all gone, replaced by a bulging wad of cash.

Finding a secluded public toilet stall, Qin Hao eagerly began counting.

"Sixteen thousand…… fifteen thousand eight…… sixteen thousand two……"

Ten bracelets, total sales came to 158,600!

"Over fifteen thousand……" Qin Hao clutched the stack of bills, his fingers slightly trembling.

This was a figure he never dared to dream of before.

After leaving the orphanage, he had worked hard for years and only saved a little money, most of which he had spent on his ex-girlfriend.

But now, in just a little over a morning, he had earned over 150,000.

After the brief excitement, Qin Hao quickly calmed down. He glanced at the system panel; Energy Points remaining were twenty-two thousand seven hundred.

"Relying only on bracelets won't do; the target is too single. Moreover, without invoices, it will eventually attract attention."

Qin Hao decided to change his strategy.

Using this money on hand, he went to buy more varieties and styles of gold ornaments,

such as rings, necklaces, pendants, etc., and then proceed to copy and sell them.

This not only spreads risk, but also makes his "source of goods" look more reasonable.

After making up his mind, Qin Hao first went to a bank, deposited most of the cash into his card, leaving only thirty thousand as liquid funds.

Afterwards, he headed straight to the high-end jewelry malls in Zhou Cheng.

This time, Qin Hao felt much more confident.

"Sir, welcome, what would you like to pick?" the sales lady said with a sweet smile.

"I'll look at rings, and also necklaces, and pendants." Qin Hao casually scanned the counter.

Soon, Qin Hao selected several men's gold rings of various styles, some polished, some with simple patterns,

and chose two bold, imposing gold chains, pairing them with several uniquely shaped pendants: a dragon tablet, Guan Gong, and a Pixiu.

These ornaments together cost nearly one hundred thousand.

"Sir, your taste is excellent; these are our store's best-selling styles."

The sales lady efficiently handled the invoicing and packaging while not forgetting to flatter.

Qin Hao just smiled and paid by card.

As he walked out of the gold shop holding several exquisite jewelry boxes, he felt as if he had accomplished something significant.

Returning to the rented apartment, it was already evening.

He didn't even have time to eat, immediately laying out the newly bought gold ornaments.

【Target: dragon-pattern gold ring, copying consumes 120 Energy Points.】

【Target: hollowed-out gold necklace, copying consumes 350 Energy Points.】

【Target: Pixiu gold pendant, copying consumes 280 Energy Points.】

……

Qin Hao scanned all the newly purchased gold ornaments once, and had a rough idea in mind.

Then he began a new round of the "creation" project.

As commands were issued one after another, the system's Energy Points were rapidly consumed, and on the table before him, various styles of gold rings, necklaces, and pendants began to increase exponentially.

The entire replication process lasted just over a minute.

When the last batch of replicas was completed, Qin Hao's system Energy Points had been largely depleted, leaving only about a thousand points, which he retained as emergency "principal".

Meanwhile, the desk that hadn't been tidied and the bed beside it were piled high with various glittering gold jewelry, at least fifty or sixty pieces.

Huh—

Qin Hao let out a breath; although his spirit remained excited, a sense of fatigue also welled up in his body.

He glanced out the window; the sky had already turned completely dark.

"Let's leave it at that for today! I'll go sell it tomorrow."

So the next morning, Qin Hao began another round of "shipping out".

This time he chose more dispersed shops, even running to several neighboring counties.

With various styles of gold ornaments, his excuses became more varied—sometimes saying they were to pay off a friend's debt, sometimes saying they were left by elderly family members, and sometimes simply claiming he needed money urgently.

Because the styles varied and each piece had a different value, it actually attracted less attention.

For some larger transactions, the other party proposed a bank transfer, and Qin Hao readily agreed, which saved him the trouble of carrying large amounts of cash.

When he dragged his tired body back to the rental house again, the balance in his bank card plus the cash in his hand had quietly surpassed the one‑million mark!

He couldn't be bothered to count the exact figure; he only knew that in just two days he had gone from a penniless wretch with pockets cleaner than his face to a millionaire.

This feeling was like a dream, illusory.

Inside the rental house, Qin Hao neatly stacked his cash beside the pillow, with the corners of his mouth turned up.

Recalling what he had experienced over the past two days, it was more stimulating than the previous twenty‑one years of his life combined.

The All-Things Replication System had truly changed his fate!
