Chapter 473: Copper‑like Metal

April 16, 2014.

Wednesday.

Lin Feng returned to Yanjing.

Thinking about the trip, he actually didn't accomplish much.

It seemed as if someone had arranged it, like a destiny with Old Two.

Counting on his fingers, it's only a little over twenty, still a huge gap compared to Tu Dou Xiong!

Yang Caiwei said that Tu Dou Xiong seems to have over a hundred.

Since Tu Dou Xiong has over a hundred, he is so great there's no reason to be inferior to Tu Dou Xiong.

Of course, this is Lin Feng's idle thought.

When one is bored, random thoughts arise.

Back in Yanjing, another stretch of leisurely days.

In the Yuan Zi, Yun Luan brought out tea sets and performed her newly learned tea art.

Yang Caiwei peeled grapes for Lin Feng.

Liu Cangyun held a ledger and flipped through it.

Nowadays, the various expenses in the Sihe Courtyard are taken from the rental‑income account.

Liu Cangyun reported the accounts; the expenses are actually quite large.

The young, pretty little nannies they hired keep increasing in number.

Now there are sixteen, plus four cooking aunties and four female Biao Biao,

just salaries and bonuses alone cost three hundred thousand a month.

Yuan Zi's landscaping, maintenance, plus living expenses, electricity, travel costs, etc., also amount to several tens of thousands.

All in all, the miscellaneous costs total about four million a year.

Although Lin Feng is wealthy, Liu Cangyun also pinches the money tightly; if those pretty young ladies mess up,

or break something, the deductions must still be made.

Besides the Sihe Courtyard expenses, the three private jets, the house near Panda Park, and other costs are also handled by Liu Cangyun.

As for their living expenses, they each have assets, so they spend their own money.

Among those present, Yun Luan can be called the richest.

Her assets, the wealth accumulated by several generations of the Yun Family, are valued at three hundred billion dollars.

Now a third has been liquidated and invested in the tech park's R&D and the traditional Chinese medicine industry.

But the remainder, nearly two hundred billion, makes her a solid petite rich lady.

Liu Cangyun helps her manage these assets and also receives a high salary.

As for Yang Caiwei, Lin Feng secured an eighty‑billion dowry from Tu Dou Xiong for her.

The poorest, Lin Feng counted on his fingers, and it was Qi Yao.

Thinking of Qi Yao, Liu Cangyun suddenly tapped his head and said, "I almost forgot."

While speaking, he ran into the house, grabbed a metal block about ten centimeters long and wide, and placed it before Lin Feng.

"Instructor, this is the metal the boss had refined; I don't know the material, I weighed it, it's several jin heavy."

Liu Cangyun said, pulling out an envelope and handing it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng opened the envelope and drew out a stack of papers.

They were printed by Qi Yao using a printer.

Lin Feng's eyes widened after reading them.

This several‑jin heavy metal isn't cheap.

Refining these things cost over one hundred million dollars.

They were melted down after collecting over a thousand bronze weapons from a few thousand years ago.

This metal substance, Qi Yao named it "copper‑like metal," a homophone of "copper"; weapons made from this metal can suppress the Witch Tribe.

But one must note that if melted together with gold, it loses its effect.

Lin Feng finally understood why that underground space contained so many copper‑gold statues.

It turned out the Witch Tribe also collected this metal that can kill them, refining it like gold, making the world's copper‑like metal increasingly scarce.

But in the end, the Witch Tribe still could not escape its annihilation.

Lin Feng just skimmed the data and noted it down.

Then he grabbed a lighter and burned the documents.

These metals can kill the Witch Tribe and can also render Lin Feng's current Superpower ineffective.

In the idle afternoon, Lin Feng drove, called Zhao Xiaoyang and Liu Erwa, and went to a processing shop together.

Paying a high price, they melted the copper‑like metal and forged a dagger and a Scalpel.

The remainder was all processed into pistol bullet heads.

For several consecutive days, Lin Feng stayed in the processing shop.

The rare metal was not wasted at all.

In the end, the leftover residue from processing was collected by Lin Feng.

This copper‑like metal has a high density, close to that of gold.

A single dagger already weighs that much; the Scalpel crafted for Qi Yao also weighs half a jin.

The remainder was made into 300 bullet heads.

The rest was wasted.

Returned to Fierce Tiger Gym, Lin Feng called Bai Ying.

By the way, I haven't seen Bai Ying in a long time.

"Hey~"

After the call connected, Bai Ying's voice came from the phone.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Have you been thinking of me lately?"

Bai Ying remained silent.

"If you don't answer, I'll go block you at your workplace's door, okay?"

"I do!"

Bai Ying's voice was full of helplessness.

She knew Lin Feng could say it and do it.

Lin Feng hehe laughed, "I need some bullets here, three hundred rounds."

"Why do you need so many bullets?"

Bai Ying asked.

"I've been free lately, want to practice gun technique."

"Sure!"

Bai Ying readily agreed.

In the afternoon after four, Bai Ying drove to Fierce Tiger Gym.

After not seeing each other for days, Bai Ying's skin had become much whiter, and she had gained a more feminine air.

She handed a black box to Lin Feng.

This was done through proper procedures; after Lin Feng received the item, he also signed on the document Bai Ying took out.

There were twenty magazines in total, each with fifteen pointed bullets, exactly three hundred rounds.

Lin Feng put the box into the knight's trunk, locked the car, then climbed into Bai Ying's passenger seat.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Ying widened her eyes.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Let me treat you to a meal; don't say you still have to go back to work."

"Sure! But... don't mess around!"

Saying that, she pressed her legs together tightly.

"Uh... okay!" Lin Feng nodded with a helpless expression.

Bai Ying drove and casually found a restaurant.

They ordered a few small dishes.

The two ate while chatting.

Lin Feng could tell Bai Ying had something on her mind.

"What's up, you dissatisfied with your current job?" Lin Feng asked.

Bai Ying nodded, "The current job is too boring; I still want to go down to the squad."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Why not quit? I have some people under me; you can go lead them."

Bai Ying shook her head.

She thought Lin Feng was joking.

Lin Feng was certainly not joking.

Actually, Bai Ying's life plan had been set long ago by the deceased elders.

If she works at the current job for a few years, she can get promoted, doing logistics***.

But obviously, this is not the job Bai Ying wants.

Lin Feng merely brought it up; Bai Ying unwilling, so for now they won't mention it.

The rest will be discussed later.

After the meal, the sky was getting dark.

"I rent your place; you haven't lived there in a while, right?"

Lin Feng asked.

Jinhu Huayuan Community, Building 8, Unit 803.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Feng gave Bai Ying a wall slam.
