Chapter 6: The First Pot of Gold

At ten o'clock the next morning, the sun was already shining outside the house, the scorching sun seemed to ignite everything, the air seemed to be burning violently, the temperature in the house was also rising rapidly, Lu Tian was also sweating profusely in his sleep, as if he dreamed that he had arrived in the vast desert for a while, and then arrived at the scorching flame mountain, and finally woke up gradually because his throat was really thirsty.

Rubbing his temples, twisting his head, which was still a little dizzy, he got up only to find that the boss had left at some point, and there was a note left by Boss Zhang behind the door to say goodbye to him. Slightly disappointed, but still happy that the boss can find a suitable job. Picked up the water cup and quickly poured himself a cup of cold water in the space, and drank hundreds of milliliters of cold water in one go, which quenched his thirst.

"Xiao Tian, how much energy did you absorb last night?" Lu Tian's mind appeared in the main control room of the transformation instrument as soon as he moved, and he suddenly felt a burst of coolness coming to his face, and the temperature inside was like a cool autumn. Xiao Tian can adjust the temperature and light inside as needed...... And so on, it is very convenient, and only needs a small amount of energy.

At this time, Xiao Tian stayed in the screen quietly with an expressionless face, and as soon as she heard Lu Tian's voice, Xiao Tian showed a sweet smile, "Hehe, master, you are here, I am almost suffocated, I absorbed a total of 3,600 points of energy last night, how about it?" Xiao Tian is still very powerful, right" Seeing Lu Tian come in, Xiao Tian immediately smiled and showed her skills to Lu Tian.

"Well, our Xiao Tian is indeed very powerful...... Yes! What, you said that you absorbed more than three thousand points of energy in one night, how is this possible? Let's talk about what's going on? Lu Tian was inexplicably surprised at this time, and then asked Xiao Tian anxiously.

It only absorbed two hundred energy points the night before yesterday, and last night, even if the transformation instrument was upgraded to the first level, it only increased the absorption rate by 50%, it should be three hundred energy points, how did it become more than three thousand? Lu Tian didn't understand for a while.

"The master is three thousand six, you see, I can only absorb the electric energy of one power supply the night before yesterday, but last night there were twenty energy sources within ten meters, of which sixteen can be absorbed, but the absorption efficiency is not so high when absorbing sixteen power sources at the same time, so last night only harvested three thousand six hundred points of energy, yesterday the system consumed one energy point, mainly when the system detected pollution, there are still three thousand four hundred and fourteen points left, and now the system has a total of seven thousand and fourteen points of energy, It is estimated that the system can be upgraded again in less than a day," Xiao Tian happily explained the state of energy to Lu Tian in her gentle and sweet voice.

Lu Tian was very happy today, so he stayed in the transformation instrument and chatted with Xiao Tian for more than half an hour, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost eleven o'clock, and an idea Lu Tian passed out of the main control room, returned to the room, washed and washed, and a quarter of an hour passed, got dressed, took his schoolbag, and walked out.

Lu Tian has two main tasks today, one is to go to the chemistry laboratory building on the main campus to pan for gold, and the second is to dispose of the gold and silver he has found. Lu Tian decided to go to eat first, and then go to the main campus, especially the chemistry laboratory building of the School of Chemistry, which is Lu Tian's focus point, where the oil and water should be relatively sufficient.

After eating lunch in a hurry, Lu Tian eagerly walked towards the main campus, in fact, the main campus and the campus where Lu Tian was located were only separated by a road, and they were very close, and Lu Tian arrived in less than five minutes. Soon a seven-storey white building covering an area of about three or four acres came into view, and you could see the six golden characters of 'Chemical Experiment Building' jumping on it from a distance; because there was an explosion in the laboratory building last year and caused a fire, although the fire was finally extinguished and did not cause casualties, but the laboratory building was burned beyond recognition, unusable, so it was repainted and renovated this year, so it looked clean and tidy as if it was newly built.

After observing around the experimental building, after Xiao Tian's detection, it was found that the wastewater discharged in the laboratory building was seriously polluted, and it was also heavy metals and harmful substances that exceeded the standard, far from meeting the discharge standard, and the sewage flowed into the sewer without any treatment, and flowed down the sewer into the East Lake not far away.

"No wonder the water quality in East Lake has always been bad, even the sewage from the university laboratory is directly discharged into it, and even more so in dozens of factories around East Lake," Lu Tian muttered, a little angry and helpless.

"But these have nothing to do with a small citizen like yourself, even if you can't manage it, why bother to bother yourself, or find your own gold to let others worry about it" Lu Tian thought unscrupulously.

Due to the experience of the last time, Lu Tian started his own plan to make a fortune with a familiar car, and skillfully gave orders to Xiao Tian, "Xiao Tian, immediately absorb and purify the pollutants in the sewer."

"Okay, master, please wait," Xiao Tian replied obediently. So the pollutants in the sewer are constantly decreasing, and the things in the storage space of the environmental remodeler are also increasing, in less than ten minutes, Xiao Tian purified the pollutants in the nearby sewer, and finally found that there is still a lot of sewage has flowed into the East Lake, because the water volume of the East Lake is huge, and the sewage mixed into it will be diluted thousands of times, and there is no absorption value for Lu Tian for the time being, unless Xiao Tian upgrades to speed up the absorption efficiency before it is possible to absorb the useful substances in it and solve the pollution problem of the East Lake.

ended the operation quickly, and it was obvious that Lu Tian and Xiao Tian cooperated more tacitly. "Xiao Tian, tell me how the harvest is this time?" Lu Tian couldn't wait to ask as soon as this was over, but he didn't take out the harvested items from the storage space as recklessly as he did yesterday.

"Master, this harvest is even greater, a total of 112 grams of gold, 36 grams of platinum, 586 grams of silver, and more than 80 catties of various metals and sulfur, chlorine, sodium, potassium and other chemicals, in addition to 18 energy points."

"Well, this harvest is indeed quite big, thank you Xiao Tian, if it weren't for you, you wouldn't have such a big harvest" Lu Tian was very grateful to Xiao Tian from the bottom of his heart.

"Hee-hee, master, how are you going to thank me?" Xiao Tian asked with a wicked face, just like the gray wolf met Lazy and ate Lu Tian.

"Uh......" Lu Tian was obviously choked by Xiao Tian's answer, and he didn't know what to say for a long time, "Then tell me, how can I thank you?" Lu Tian asked rhetorically.

"It's good that you talk with me for three hours every day," Xiao Tian's voice seemed to be full of tenderness and grievance, but there was no doubt about it.

Lu Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, after a strong struggle, he had to sign such a humiliating unequal treaty with the little goblin, that is, he had to spend an hour every day chatting with her.

In the end, Lu Tian instructed Xiao Tian to make all the gold into the standard shape of the gold bars sold by 'Zhou Laifu' jewelry, which is easier to sell; 'Zhou Laifu' jewelry has a long history, with a history of more than 80 years, and is the most famous and largest jewelry brand in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, and also has several branches in Jiangcheng.

Looking back at the brand-new laboratory building, he waved his sleeves and took away all the gold nuggets, so Lu Tian walked towards the bedroom in a happy mood. As soon as I returned to the dormitory, I saw that it was past twelve o'clock, and I was a little sleepy after running for more than an hour under the scorching sun, so I washed my face and fell on the bed and began to take a nap.

When Lu Tian woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, he had overslept, and he had to sell the gold and silver, so Lu Tian hurriedly wrapped all the 170 grams of gold bars, 36 grams of platinum and 816 grams of silver in a packaging box and put them in his schoolbag, picked up his schoolbag and walked towards Fumin Square.

Fumin Square is a large shopping plaza near Jiangcheng University, there are thousands of shops near the square, a variety of goods are dazzling, dizzying, at the same time, it is also the most concentrated luxury gathering place in Jiangcheng, commonly known as a luxury street, just a few hundred meters of street on both sides of the densely distributed hundreds of high-end cosmetics stores, dozens of well-known jewelry brands;

Fumin Plaza is very close to the campus where Lu Tian is located, and Lu Tian came to the crowded shopping plaza in less than ten minutes, even if the scorching sun in June continues to scorch his skin and sweat beads keep flowing, it does not affect Lu Tian's happy mood at all.

Lu Tian carefully looked at all the gold stores, and finally entered a jewelry store called 'Golden Brilliant', this store is not very large, the location is not very good, it is a gold and silver jewelry, and there is a sign of high-priced recycling of gold and silver jewelry at the door.

At this time, there was only a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties on the counter who was looking down to read a book, and when he felt someone coming in, he immediately got up and greeted, "Welcome to the shop, the contemptible person is the owner of this store, I don't know what kind of jewelry this little brother needs?" Although the small store looks a little simple, it will not lose to those big brands in terms of design and quality, with novel and diverse styles and guaranteed quality, and a fine of 10 ...... for a fake."

The middle-aged man opposite Lu Tianjue is very cute, medium height, not short, not fat, not thin, the most special thing is that he has a very smart head, and he is also a chatter, as soon as Lu Tian came in, he kept talking like a cannon, and he didn't give Lu Tian a chance to speak.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Tian finally caught the gap in the other party's statement and said, "Uh, hello boss, I'm not here to buy something, but I have something to sell."

"Oh, I wonder what the little brother is selling? I will definitely give my little brother a reasonable price," as soon as he heard that Lu Tian was the boss who came to sell things, he immediately stopped talking and asked.

"I have some silver to sell, it's all 999, boss, take a look" Lu Tian opened the bag and took out an eighty-gram silver ingot from the morning harvest and handed it to the boss.

After some inspection, the boss said, "This is indeed 999 silver, the quality is very good, but the price of silver is not very high, I can buy it at a price of five yuan a gram, if you are satisfied, we can trade immediately." ”

After some thought, Lu Tian felt that the price was acceptable, although each gram was a few cents lower than the market price, but Lu Tian was too lazy to go to other gold stores; So he took out all the silver that was left in the bag. This shop is not bad, it is honest, there is no shortage of catties or two, and the last one is 815 grams, which is only one gram worse than the original.

"There are a total of eight hundred and fifteen grams, five yuan per gram, a total of four thousand and seventy-five yuan, I will calculate four thousand and one hundred yuan for you, you can count it, and remember to take care of the small shop if you have goods in the future" After speaking, he handed Lu Tian forty-one red hundred-yuan bills.

Lu Tian took the money a little excitedly, counted it, no more, no less, exactly forty-one, and then put the money in his bag. So Lu Tian planned to sell the gold to this store as well, "Thank you, boss, I'll take care of your business again soon, I still have some gold here, if the price is right, I'll sell it to you together" After speaking, he took out a golden gold bar from his bag.

"This person doesn't look very inconspicuous, I didn't expect it to be a big customer" The boss was shocked when he saw a gold bar full of 100 grams that Lu Tian took out, and then said enthusiastically, "Thank you brother for taking care of me, can you let me see this gold bar first" said and took the gold bar.

The boss carefully appraised it and then said, "This gold bar of the little brother was bought in 'Zhou Laifu', it is marked, weighs 100 grams, and the purity is 99.9%, but I don't know if the little brother has an invoice?" ”。

As soon as Lu Tian heard it, he knew that the boss suspected the origin of the gold bar, and immediately felt that he had not considered how serious the invoice was. Immediately made up a random reason and said, "This gold was indeed bought in 'Zhou Laifu', and now I am in a hurry to need money and take it out and sell it, but the invoice is improperly kept and lost, if the invoice is still there, I will not sell it to you."

Listening to Lu Tian's explanation, the boss's concerns seemed to be dispelled a lot, "Well, it's a bit troublesome to lose this invoice, so this gold can't be purchased at the price of 'Zhou Laifu', so I won't let you suffer, just give you three hundred yuan per gram, what do you think, you must know that you don't have an invoice, and I also take a certain risk" The boss pretended to be sincere and said.

Lu Tian knows that the favorite thing about a small shop like this that recycles gold and silver jewelry is that it can't get a proof of purchase, which is actually the often said goods from unknown sources, because the boss can buy them at a low price, take them back and melt them, and then process them into all kinds of jewelry, from which they can earn a huge price difference.

Lu Tian pretended to hesitate, and after thinking for a while, he basically agreed to the boss's purchase price, in fact, Lu Tian was thinking in his heart, "Anyway, I picked it up, less is less, see that this boss is still more refreshing, sell it together, save trouble." ”

But Lu Tian still bargained with the boss, and finally the owner of the gold shop agreed to accept it at a price of 305 yuan per gram (25 yuan less than the market price), a large gold bar weighing 100 grams and seven small gold bars weighing 10 grams, the total weight of 170 grams is not bad at all, and finally the boss paid Lu Tian 51,850 yuan.
