Chapter XXVIII

At the same time, Lu Yu's "Beauty Song" was also circulated in the capital, and on the other hand, the four Qing officials in the capital also compiled this "Beauty Song" into a song and dance, the sound of the purple smoke, the dance of the flower butterfly and the song of the blue dream, and finally the picture scroll of green beads, began to circulate in the capital, and for a time Lu Yu's reputation rose, and all kinds of rumors about Lu Yu were also released.

Lu Yu, who was hiding in the Tongwen Pavilion, didn't know that he was already popular in the capital at this time.

Three days passed, and Lu Yu gradually adapted to the changes in his body's strength, as long as he didn't use all his strength, under normal circumstances, there was not much difference from ordinary people.

Eight days have passed since the last time he returned to the main world, and now Lu Yu has five hundred taels of gold in his hand, which can complete the system task.

The reason why he didn't rush back to the main world was that he didn't want to exchange gold too often and make the other party suspicious.

Of course, it is impossible not to be suspicious, and anyone who sees gold from unknown sources will think more, this kind of thing is inevitable, and it is not normal if there is no accident.

Shopkeeper Shen saw Lu Yu coming out of the room, and he was a little more enthusiastic about Lu Yu's attitude, a candidate with a high probability of passing the exam is worthy of Shopkeeper Shen's stammer, not to mention that Lu Yu is already famous in the capital.

It's just that Lu Yu didn't know that he was already famous, and he felt that the shopkeeper Shen was a little too enthusiastic, which made Lu Yu panic for a while.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I'm going to go out, and I may not be back until a few days!"

It was not the first time that Lu Yu had gone out, and Shopkeeper Shen didn't ask much when he heard this, but took out a thick stack of invitation posts and said, "Master Lu, many people have come to visit these days, do you want to see it?" ”

Lu Yu has something to do with the entertainment there now, and he didn't even look at those invitation posts and said, "No need, help me refuse." ”

In the opinion of Shopkeeper Shen, Lu Yu studied hard for three days behind closed doors, and it was too normal to go out for a walk, but participating in those gatherings would only affect his mood, so it was better not to be distracted before the big exam.

"Lu Gongzi, this is your waist card for the exam, remember to put it away, if you lose it, you won't miss this year's big exam!"

Shopkeeper Shen handed Lu Yu a waist card, a palm-sized pure black rectangle, engraved with extremely complex patterns on one side, like some kind of symbol, and a string of numbers and his own name on the other side, which was heavy in his hand.

For each big exam, there is no need for each candidate to go to the Ministry of Rites to register in person, and the Tongwen Museum in various places will help the candidates register.

There is only one reason for this, and that is that the number of candidates is too large.

If millions of candidates are allowed to register at the same time at the Ministry of Rites, not to mention whether there is such a big place at the entrance of the Ministry of Rites, it may take several days for candidates to queue up, which will inevitably cause unpredictable chaos, so every big exam is helped by the Tongwen Hall to help candidates register in a unified manner.

Lu Yu put away his waist card and listened to the shopkeeper Shen again: "You also know that there are some things in this year's big exam, the location of the exam is not in the Gongyuan, it has been replaced by an independent space of the Ministry of Rites, and there will be some changes in the rules of the exam, and the precautions will be notified to the candidates three days in advance, you just know!" ”

Lu Yu was not too surprised, the candidates of the various sects were assassinated halfway, or died in vain, this matter has caused a lot of panic in the city, many monks who have the ability to impact the second class do not dare to go out easily, and even someone invited a master to protect himself, God knows if other things will happen in the future, if the imperial court does not make a move at this time, it will be strange.

"Thank you!"

Lu Yu is not worried about these things, if he, a little person who is even a top three dangerous, will be assassinated, then the millions of candidates in the capital will really have no sense of security.

This is the benefit of Lu Yu's low profile, and he will not be envied.

Lu Yu quietly left the Tongwen Pavilion and walked into a furniture store, which not only sold furniture, but also sold all kinds of precious wood.

Lu Yu walked around the furniture store, picked two chairs made of sandalwood, and a one-meter-long, adult-waist-thick rosewood, paid the shopkeeper twenty taels of silver, and put these things into the system space in front of the shopkeeper.

In the Tianlan world for such a long time, Lu Yu knew that not everyone was a monk, in the eyes of ordinary people, monks were very mysterious, and the storage bag and storage ring were not a rare thing, as long as he did not expose the existence of the system.

In the eyes of the furniture store shopkeeper, it is normal for Lu Yu to put things in the storage bag, and many monks who come to buy furniture will also do the same, so Lu Yu's behavior is very normal.

Moreover, during this period of time, there was an assassination of candidates from various major sects, and the security in the capital was also strengthened a lot, and patrolling soldiers and catchers could be seen everywhere on the road, as long as there was a stir, there were many catchers and soldiers, and even masters were snooping in secret, so Lu Yu was not worried about being targeted.

Lu Yu wandered around the streets of the capital until late before he dodged into an uninhabited alley and shuttled back to the rental house in the main world.

At this time, returning to the Overworld is not only to sell the gold in your hand, but also to do a very important thing.

That is, although the history and culture of the main world are different from those of the Tianlan world, there are also policy questions in the ancient scientific examination of the main world, and Lu Yu spent a little money to entrust a friend who studies history to help find out those policy articles in the ancient world for his own reference.

Lu Yu opened his notebook and found a bunch of ancient policy articles in his mailbox, and printed them out and studied them slowly.

Waiting until the next day, Lu Yu came to Jinling Commercial Street again, this time instead of going directly to the pawnshop last time, but found another pawnbroker and walked in.

"What do you want to pawn, sir?"

Lu Yu took out a piece of gold and said, "Can you pawn gold here?" ”

"Sir, do you have an invoice for the purchase?"

"Nope!" Lu Yu said truthfully: "This is the ancestral gold of my family, do you think I have an invoice?" ”

"I'm sorry sir, but our firm doesn't accept gold from unknown sources!" The receptionist refused Lu Yu's business without hesitation.

Not all commercial banks are willing to accept gold without invoices, and under strict management, many commercial banks are unwilling to take such risks.

"Hello, we can only recycle the gold in your hand at 150 yuan per gram, do you accept this price?"

Although another firm was willing to recycle the gold in Lu Yu's hands, it offered a ridiculously low price, and it could only be recovered at eighty percent of the weight.

Lu Yu finally sold a hundred taels of gold in the fourth trading house, "I'm sorry, we can only buy this bit of gold for the time being, you can come back next month!" ”

Although this firm was willing to buy the gold in Lu Yu's hands, it couldn't eat all the gold in Lu Yu's hands in one go, and it was mainly worried about sales.

Lu Yu has been prepared for this, there are dozens of second-hand gold recycling firms in the entire Jinling urban area, as long as a few temporarily buy the gold in their hands, Lu Yu has not thought about dealing with gold like this all the time, if it is not too tight, he can change a few more cities to sell gold.

In the seventh trading house, Lu Yu sold one hundred taels of gold again, and the system prompt sounded again: "Congratulations to the host for completing the first pot of gold task, and reward a little skill point." ”

"The release of new tasks, whether it is in Tianlan World or Azure Star, being a rich person is something that countless people dream of, so start from scratch and complete the original capital accumulation again and again! The task earns 50 million on the Azure Star, and the task rewards five skill points, no time limit, no penalty! ”

After Lu Yu saw the new task, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after completing the task of buying and selling in the Tianlan World, the system increased the difficulty of the task to five lower-grade spirit stones, don't look at the five lower-grade spirit stones are only equivalent to five or six hundred taels of silver, in fact, in the Tianlan World, five or six hundred taels of silver cannot be exchanged for five lower-grade spirit stones at all, and the difficulty has increased dozens of times at once.

In fact, the tasks released by the system at the earliest were not very difficult, and they were supposed to help Lu Yu get through the most difficult early days.

Now that the difficulty of the system has increased so much all of a sudden, Lu Yu is not surprised at all.

Lu Yu now has more than one million more in his hand, and there are still three hundred taels of gold that he has not sold, so he needs to think carefully about how the road ahead should go.

However, before that, Lu Yu still needed to dispose of the remaining three hundred taels of gold in his hand, this time Lu Yu did not choose other pawn shops, and directly walked into the pawn shop in the first two times.

"Is Manager Zhou here?"

"Wait a minute!"

Soon Manager Zhou came out of the back office, "Hello, it's inconvenient outside, let's talk inside!" ”

Lu Yu didn't say anything, and followed Manager Zhou into the manager's office, Manager Zhou closed the door and said, "How much gold did you bring this time?" ”

"More than 6,000 grams!"

Manager Zhou said with joy on his face: "That's more than one million." ”

Lu Yu didn't know what Manager Zhou meant, so he didn't answer, so he listened to Manager Zhou continue: "You have a gold channel in your hand, I have a sales channel here, we have traded so many times, and we can be regarded as acquaintances, as the saying goes, everyone makes money, you can't eat such a large amount of business alone, if I were you, I would pull a partner, don't you say?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Yu's eyelids jumped, sure enough, wealth is moving, and what should come will always come.

"It's not interesting, I just want you to give me a way to get rich, and everyone will earn money together, and I will share it with you when the time comes?"

Saying that, Manager Zhou clapped his hands, the door was pushed open again, and a strong man walked in from the outside, holding a butterfly* knife in his hand, playing with a beautiful knife flower, and looking at Lu Yu with a winning face.

As early as after the second transaction, Manager Zhou was already waiting for Lu Yu here, and every time Lu Yu came alone, this also made Manager Zhou have other ideas, wanting to test Lu Yu's details.

"It seems that if I don't cooperate with you today, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this door!"

"You're a smart person, so I don't need to repeat what I'm saying!" Manager Zhou waited for Lu Yu's counterattack.

"Good!"

Lu Yu is not angry, this day will come sooner or later, this time it will not be Manager Zhou, next time it will be Manager Zhang and Manager Ma, I already have an awareness of doing this kind of thing, otherwise I would not dare to step into this door today.

"Looks like you don't want to continue doing business with me!"

Lu Yu slowly grabbed the gold on the table, pinched it hard in front of Manager Zhou's eyes, and said, "I don't know if your head is hard with gold!" ”

Manager Zhou's face changed greatly, and in his frightened and incredulous eyes, the gold ingot was kneaded in Lu Yu's hand like dough, turning into a golden ball, which was casually thrown on the desk by Lu Yu, and the golden ball smashed heavily on the table, and the desktop was smashed out of a pit.

What he saw, Manager Zhou felt his scalp tingle, and found that he was thinking about things too simply.

Although gold is very soft, it also depends on what it is, how can a person's head be hard over gold, Manager Zhou has only one idea in his mind: how strong this person's hand is, it is also a little terrifying.
