Chapter 43: Gold

(ps: For some reason, the second episode was renamed, that's all.)

"Why so much gold!?"

Wu Pifu, Amadae, Lin Heier, and Xu Rongyu all exclaimed.

Xu Shilan looked at Wu Pifu and Amadae with a speechless expression. She couldn't help but complain: "No, it's fine for them to be surprised! Didn't I say I was going to be busy for a while this morning? You two sat there bragging, you didn't care what I went to do at all, right?"

Wu Pifu and Amadae looked at each other, and then asked in unison: "What did you go to do?"

Xu Shilan was really angry. She threw down a bag of gold and sat on the ground directly: "Don't you guys consider it at all? How do we build this special Level 2 shelter?"

Wu Pifu scratched his head: "Uh... kill the enemy? Kill Cixi? Or do something earth-shattering?"

Amadae was also a bit confused. He thought seriously, looked around, and even simply measured the distance with his hand: "If there are enough supplies and engineers, I think a long-range missile defense position can be established on the hillside behind, a minefield can be laid in front, and then two dark bunkers can be established on the left and right sides for support. This is not realistic, it is better to establish two dark bunkers for support, so it will be foolproof."

Xu Shilan roared: "Money!? Where does the money come from? And this is a hotel! It's not a Third War barracks, nor is it your martial arts competition venue!! Since it's a hotel, there must be a building, right? Kitchen, dining room, accommodation area, not to say how good it is, at least it has to be built, right!?"

"And since it's a hotel, there must be employees, right? Chef, greeter, waiter, shopkeeper... and then there must be ingredients, not to mention that this piece of land doesn't belong to us yet."

Wu Pifu and Amadae looked at each other, and both sat down obediently.

It's very simple, neither of them is the material to make money. For example, Wu Pifu, except for robbery, he has no way to make money. And Amadae is slightly better. He thinks he can be a mercenary, killing people for money, which is justified, right?

But Xu Shilan is even more awesome, she can directly take out gold!

Xu Shilan sighed: "You may not be familiar with the technological level of the 29th century, but you should at least understand some civil technology related to you... The instrument in the middle of the medical base is called the Alienation Removal Instrument, which can treat, eradicate, and change the disease, deformity, and hereditary changes at the gene level, such as radiation, bacteria, viruses, fungi, or similar changes caused by any situation. As long as it belongs to the gene level, and not the deeper life essence level, and the degree of disease and time is not too high, then this instrument can be saved, which is what carbon-based nano units cannot do."

"So?" Wu Pifu and Amadae asked at the same time again.

Xu Shilan didn't want to sigh anymore, and said in one breath: "This is a deeper material foundation particle level change than the nano level. As long as it is simply programmed and debugged, not only can it change the human body, but the basic particles of other substances can also be rearranged and changed. For example, turning metal into gold, the closer the nature, the less energy consumed by the change. Unfortunately, this is only a medical base, and the permission share allocated by the Main Brain is very small. The energy share of one month can only produce about twenty kilograms of gold."

Wu Pifu was truly amazed. He picked up the gold on the ground and weighed it, and said: "There are about ten kilograms here, so you used half of the energy share of that instrument?"

Xu Shilan nodded: "After all, I have to leave some to prevent accidents. The remaining energy can be used about seven or eight times. After all, a medical base is used for a thousand people. Now there are only three of us. Half of the energy is enough to last until next month."

This is naturally calculated very properly. Wu Pifu sighed secretly, and looked at Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu: "These ten kilograms of gold, about how much money can be exchanged?"

Xu Rongyu also followed and sat down. He picked up the gold and looked at it carefully. Ten kilograms of gold is actually not much, it fits in a pocket, and because it was directly converted by Xu Shilan using steel bars, this gold is also in the state of steel bars, with one large and two small three bars.

Xu Rongyu picked up a small bar of gold, pinched it, and took a bite, and nodded: "It is indeed gold, and the quality is excellent. It's a pity that I can't contact my father's old subordinates. Either they are dead, or they must have rebelled, otherwise I have channels to sell it."

Lin Heier also picked up a bar. She pondered for a while and said: "I have connections. There are many foreigners in Tianjin. If it doesn't work, I will send someone to Shanghai. It can also be sold there. I vaguely remember that foreigners call gold by ounces. I don't know the specific price, but gold is expensive, and these are a lot of money."

Gold is naturally expensive. Let alone this era, even in the 21st century, it is a precious metal, belonging to the equivalent exchange object. Even Wu Pifu, who doesn't care about these, knows that if a country, an organization, or a group has enough gold reserves, it will definitely not worry about being squeezed.

Ten kilograms of gold, that is about ten thousand grams. According to the price before Wu Pifu was frozen, there is at least five or six million here.

Wu Pifu pondered for a while, reached out and pinched the smallest bar of gold, clamped it with two fingers, and cut it off from the middle. He handed it to Xu Rongyu and said: "Find people or shops in this Xuanhua Prefecture who can exchange gold, exchange it for silver dollars or silver, and then buy some rice and flour, and then hire some craftsmen, and then buy this piece of land. Is it enough?"

Xu Rongyu calculated slightly in his heart, and nodded immediately: "Enough, definitely enough. Even if it is to pay for the relationship, it is enough."

Lin Heier naturally said: "There is also my Red Lantern Society branch in Xuanhua Prefecture, and there are also some connections, and there are also some believers. I will take you to pass the hall, and you will first serve as the deputy leader of the Xuanhua Prefecture branch, light two sticks of incense, and naturally you can make them work."

Wu Pifu put the half-cut gold into his arms, and then pushed all the remaining gold in front of Lin Heier: "Then it will trouble the big sister to send it to Tianjin or Shanghai to exchange for equivalent objects, either silver, or silver dollars, or US dollars or pounds can also be used. How about the big sister and I share the account three to seven?"

Lin Heier's face was solemn, and she stood up with a cold snort: "Does the master humiliate me? I fought the paper man with the master, and it was all thanks to the master that I survived, and I even knew the truth of the Unborn Mother's evil Buddha. This life was saved by the master, and the master saved the hundreds of millions of people in China. What? Does the master think I, Lin Heier, am such a low-class person who only cares about money!?"

Wu Pifu sat still, his face was also motionless, he just continued to say: "As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly. This is not mean, nor is it looking down on the big sister, but fairness. The big sister has a relationship with me, but the big sister's subordinates don't. This exchange is not something one or two people can handle. It also requires paying for the relationship, it also requires connections, and it also requires manpower to run. These three percent are not for the big sister, but for these people."

Lin Heier's face was slightly better, but she was still unhappy. At this time, Xu Shilan walked to Lin Heier's side, took her hand and sat down: "This is not a one-time deal, can I call you Sister Lin?" Lin Heier was slightly stunned, and then sat down, laughing: "Sister Xu may have misunderstood, I am already twenty-nine this year, just because I practice martial arts, I look young, so..."

Xu Shilan smiled and said: "I am seventy-six years old."

"Ha?"

Wu Pifu, Amadae, Xu Rongyu, and Lin Heier were all shocked and laughed.

Xu Shilan looked at Wu Pifu and Amadae with no good air: "They are surprised, it's fine. Why are you two surprised? I am a citizen of the Human Unified Government, okay!?"

Lin Heier was still dizzy now. She stared at Xu Shilan tightly, and after a long time said: "Is it really a heavenly person?"

Xu Rongyu was also very envious. He didn't have Lin Heier's reserve, and asked directly: "Brother Wu, and the two big brothers and sisters, do you... really come from the heavenly world, the immortal world and other places?"

Amadae laughed, Xu Shilan didn't speak, both looked at Wu Pifu. Wu Pifu pondered for a while and said: "It's not the heavenly world or the immortal world. If you have to describe it, it's similar to other worlds."

Xu Rongyu asked again: "Is it similar to the small thousand world, middle thousand world, and large thousand world in Buddhism?"

Wu Pifu nodded: "It's a bit of that meaning, but it's not exactly the same... Now I can't take you to the world where I am, and that world might disappoint you. Later, let's see if there is a chance."

!

Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu were both shining with eyes.

Don't look at Wu Pifu saying they would be disappointed, but the two were not blind. In just three days, Xu Shilan who had already died, and Amadae whose spine was broken, were all standing in front of them safe and sound. Not to mention that they could take out gold when they said they could take out gold, and listening to their meaning, gold would be endless in the future. Not to mention that she was seventy-six years old and still looked like a young virgin...

Both were full of imagination. How did they know the situation of the three?

However, Wu Pifu didn't say much, nor did he make a promise, because he didn't know what level of shelter could take living people to Gaia, whether there was any price, whether there was any taboo, he didn't know anything, so he didn't make a specific promise, but he made a decision in his heart that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely take the two to see the truth... if they were willing.

The five of them chatted a lot. Because they fought side by side before and had the common secret of the Unborn Mother and the paper man, Xu Rongyu and Lin Heier were also familiar and close to the three.

When Wu Pifu said his plot and idea, Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu were naturally shocked, and their faces were horrified. Wu Pifu then said the specific steps, nothing more than waiting for the rabbit, waiting for a certain time node to erupt. Xu Rongyu naturally didn't mention it, but Lin Heier fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Lin Heier asked: "Brother Wu, if you do this, the court will be in chaos, and China will be in chaos, what should we do? Those foreigners take the opportunity to invade our territory, kill our people, destroy our ancestors' ancestral laws, and destroy our clothing and culture, what should we do?"

Wu Pifu was silent for a long time, and then shook his head: "I only have such a preliminary idea. I don't know what to do when the time comes. I am also hesitating. But rest assured, although I am not a good person or a kind person, I am not so evil that I would harm the common people of the world for my own sake. What's more..."

Wu Pifu thought of the future after 1900, when the benevolent and righteous people of China emerged, and the culture would not be cut off, and the future would eventually rise...

Wu Pifu shook his head again, and finally said: "I can't see that far. I can't even protect myself. I don't know if I will be alive in more than a hundred days. It will take at least four months for Cixi to flee to this Xuanhua Prefecture, and it will take one hundred and twenty days... I just have this idea."

Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu were relieved.

If it was like this, the two felt normal instead.

Seeing the world wither, foreigners invading China, no

That night, everyone chatted about many things: the world, Buddhism, the Unborn Venerable Mother, the future...

Early the next morning, Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu went to Xuanhua Prefecture, while Wu Pifu and Amada began clearing the ruins of the righteous cemetery. By dusk, a group arrived from outside the cemetery. Xu Rongyu was riding a donkey, followed by a team of craftsmen, brokers, and transport workers for building materials—over two hundred people in total.

The Peace Hotel began construction today.
