Chapter 427: 180 Billion Gold?! How Did the Rumor Become Reality?

Su Yang and Lin Yang exchanged a glance and smiled; the former said, "The concrete numbers aren't hard to calculate."

"Assuming 18K, purity 75%, density about 15.5–16.5 g/cc, the whole piece weighs roughly 6.2 tons!"

What?!

In that instant, Yin Yun's breath suddenly stalled, her eyes filled with shock.

In this world where gold is sold by the gram, the price per gram fluctuates around 286 yuan.

That means a ton of gold costs about 300 million.

So for six tons…

One point eight billion?!

Yin Yun feels her Brain suddenly a bit dizzy, almost losing her footing.

This figure isn't much for the Floating Life Chamber; a quarter's net profit is roughly the same amount.

But Su Yang can earn, with a casual dig of a manuscript, the amount a Chamber makes in a quarter!

The disparity is self‑evident.

"Ten centimeters isn't the end yet; digging deeper might reveal an even bigger surprise," Su Yang smiled.

Yin Yun can't wait to pry open the surrounding rocks to see for herself.

But Su Yang reaches out to stop her, "This piece of gold has great use; extracting it outright could damage its integrity."

"You intend to sell the whole piece for a high price?" Yin Yun asked.

Su Yang shook his head, "You just asked who controls the whole situation; the unveiling of this gold will provide the answer."

"Luring the snake out of its den?"

Su Yang gently stroked the golden wall, admiration in his eyes, "Such a fine piece of gold, what a waste."

"Just keep digging; there's plenty inside," Lin Yang said indifferently.

Losing a few tens of billions apparently means nothing to him now.

Yin Yun's curiosity can't be curbed, she pressed, "What exactly do you intend to do with this gold?"

"Fulfilling the Qinglong Gang's wish, didn't they say Jinshan is in Nancheng District District Qu Nan Bu? Then we'll put it out!" Su Yang said slowly.

Yin Yun was startled, "A gold piece this massive, just hand it over like that?"

Honestly, although she doesn't love money, hearing this plan stung a bit.

In her view, the Floating Life Chamber and the Six Directions Association are a fate‑shared entity; he also extended an Olive Branch to propose cooperation.

Thus, a certain share of the gold before them belongs to her.

Therefore, "Protecting the Food" also makes sense.

"Take from the people, and naturally bestow benefits upon them; let them fight for it themselves, preferably to the point of heads splattered with blood," Su Yang said.

Yin Yun can already picture that scene.

The common folk would clash over gold, fighting until heads burst with blood.

As the situation escalates, the news will spread throughout the city; then the forces coveting Jinshan will all meet their end.

"A piece of gold sparks chaos; Master Su, clever scheme," Yin Yun's gaze was complex as she looked at Su Yang.

She didn't expect Su Yang could, for "Fishing," endure the pain of giving up love.

To achieve that level.

Such boldness truly commands admiration.

"Secretary Yin, you're flattering me; I only have a slight grasp of human nature," Su Yang smiled faintly.

"But on what basis do you assume players will also join?" Yin Yun asked.

"Jinshan signifies endless wealth; with money, one can naturally accelerate the growth of one's faction."

"Those who obtain Jinshan can become the strongest within a year; not a dream."

"Four players in East City chose to search for Jinshan, indicating they realize their abilities are limited and the ordinary path cannot achieve Clearance."

"This gold, whether he fights for it or not, he must fight for it!" Su Yang said.

Yin Yun thought it over, found some sense in it, but then…

"Aren't we becoming passive?"

"This is only the first step; once Nancheng District District descends into chaos, the Warlord Leader's corpse will appear on its own!" Su Yang replied.

"By then, not only Nancheng District District, the entire Jinshan City will erupt in disorder."

"Warlords clash for power and profit, and their subordinates spare no cost for Jinshan."

"Everyone wants to dominate alone, yet the path isn't that easy."

"We live in chaotic times; not only can we earn unimaginable wealth, we can also eliminate enemies!" Su Yang said.

Yin Yun faintly sensed that Su Yang still had an unseen backup.

Ending the game early is far from easy.

Unless he has great confidence, he wouldn't speak so grandly.

He certainly wouldn't take this risky move.

"What do I need to do?" Yin Yun asked directly.

"It depends on timing; before that, could Secretary Yin please extract this gold?" Su Yang laughed.

"I knew you had no good intentions," Yin Yun gave him a withering look, her tone full of reproach.

Lin Yang watched the scene from the side, his complexion turning oddly strange.

Soon, as Yin Yun activated her Innate Talent, she aimed her palm at the gold, making a pulling‑back gesture.

Boom—

With a burst of Vibration, the gold sealed within the dust‑covered rock finally revealed its true form.

A heavy object hit the ground, producing a huge sound, and dust billowed up.

Su Yang lowered his gaze to stare at the treasure, a flash of astonishment appearing in his eyes, "It's actually a meter thick!"

It is spotless and smooth, perfectly even.

There isn't a single flaw, as if it were a masterpiece carved by heaven.

A piece of gold like this, even without any processing, could be sold for a hundred billion at a sky‑high price!

Ask the poor common folk who toil outside for a living, what would they think upon seeing such a treasure?

They would instantly lose all reason!

Likewise, the Warlord and the Qinglong Gang would not turn a blind eye to this gold.

"What a pity…" Yin Yun's eyes flickered with reluctance.

After all, it's a treasure that passed through her hands; sending it away like this makes her heart ache even more.

"Take the chance to touch it more now; there won't be another opportunity later," Su Yang teased.

"Hmph~"

"By the way, don't waste Innate Talent; also help pull out the gold hidden in the wall," Su Yang said.

"So you really treat me like a maid?"

"How could I? Secretary Yin, a beauty that could topple a nation, I couldn't bear to make you do hard labor."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Consider it a convalescence gift; whatever you can take today, it's all yours."

"Really?" Yin Yun's heart fluttered instantly.

"A gentleman's word is a swift horse with a whip."

"That's a promise," Yin Yun, fearing Su Yang might renege, immediately seized the still‑active Innate Talent and sprang into action.

She moved her hand as if shaking a flower, and in the blink of an eye extracted a fist‑sized chunk of gold from within the wall.

But that wasn't all; after tasting the sweet, her speed increased dramatically, her hands almost dragging out phantoms.

Su Yang watched her exerted demeanor, a mute laugh on his face, and gave Lin Yang a subtle glance.

The two returned to the living room, and Lin Yang asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Su Yang pulled a bank card from his pocket and slipped it into his hand, "There are three hundred million inside; find a way to contact the Editor-in-Chief of Jinshan Daily, preferably to have him allocate a time slot for us."

"That much?" Lin Yang's eyebrows shot up.

Those stinky article‑writers could never earn three hundred million even after a lifetime of work.

Su Yang reached out and handed over all the money from selling antiques, perhaps a bit too lavish.

"What we lack right now is not money; after this succeeds, the gains will far exceed three hundred million," Su Yang said.

"Got it, I'll handle it right away!" Lin Yang nodded heavily.

Su Yang stared at his back, the corner of his Mouth curving into a cold smile, "Enjoy getting it in print?"

"I'll let you taste how rumors become reality!"
