Alan Chen pulled a wire, connected the plug, started the angle grinder, and the metal circular saw blade rotated rapidly.

"Brother Lun, early." Childlike came down from the dormitory shed and stretched.

"Early."

Chen Aaron saw that the child's heart was good, and he was not affected by last night's incident, and secretly praised this child for his strong psychological tolerance.

"Start work so early? What is this stone? Tong Xin came to Chen Aaron in slippers.

"Hehe," Alan Chen smiled mysteriously, "this is a treasure, I'll know how much it's worth when I polish it." ”

Alan Chen is very confident in this stone, after all, he said that the handheld camera was good.

"Okay, hey, the guest is here, I'll go and receive it first." Childlike ran towards the gate.

It was still early, and there were already people at the gate of the recycling station to handle the "finding notice" business.

The morning newspaper will soon run the news that Lord Tyre has found the necklace, and the recycle bin may have less business by then.

But until then, Alan Chan is still serious about this business.

The whiteboard set up last night also began to play a role, the above is the list of statistics after Chen Alun scanned the garbage heap overnight, which can locate a special thing in which partition which garbage heap which layer, as long as the customer reports the corresponding item, he can find his lost property in less than ten minutes.

"It's enough to have childlike innocence over there, I'd better get my stones."

Alan Chan started the angle grinder again and began to cut along the edge of the stone.

The outer part of the stone is ordinary limestone, the middle part is a mixture of iron ore, and the inner part is a layer of yellowish ore-like material, which is not quite sure what material.

The angle grinder is still a bit laborious to polish such a stone, the saw blade sparks along the direction of the stone face, and Alan Chen wears Kevlar gloves, but he is not afraid that the saw will break and cut into the palm of his hand.

Finally cutting off the outer stone surface, Alan Chen then polished the area inside the iron ore, and it was more difficult to cut the rusted surface of the iron ore, so Alan Chen added a little acid corrosive agent to help dissolve the rust part.

Needless to say, acidic corrosives are also found from the garbage heap, and the good thing about this place is that there are many things and miscellaneous things, so you can use them as you go.

Grinding away the outer layer of iron ore, I finally saw the yellow interlayer inside, which was dull in luster and extra hard in texture.

Turning off the angle grinder, Alan Chen took out the handheld and aimed it at the yellow interlayer to take pictures and scan, and this time he finally got the exact result.

"The solidified molten iron residue from a steel mill, which contains a small amount of gold-iron mixture, has a recycling rate of 8%, and the value of separated gold recovery is 88,000 nano dollars."

"How much?!" Alan Chen almost didn't stand still.

Is there gold in this stone? How can it be?

But that's only part of the surprise, as the information on the handheld swipes quickly and new content fills in.

"Congratulations on triggering the compound human track side quest [Find the Gold Master]: Find the source of the gold and confirm a specific buyer, you can increase the recovery value of pure gold several times, up to 30 times."

"30 times?!" Chen Aaron was dumbfounded again.

He knew that stones were valuable, but he didn't expect them to be so valuable!

30 times that of 88,000, almost 2.6 million or so! More than half of the debt!

He quickly calmed down his excitement and checked the details of the task on the handheld.

This is a compound side quest that has never been done before, and there are three prerequisites to complete the task: one is to find the identity of the gold owner, the second is to find a specific buyer, and the third is to separate the pure gold.

Satisfying one of the three prerequisites will seriously affect the multiplier of the recovered gold price.

After reading the mission introduction, Alan Chen's enthusiasm cooled down most of the time.

"Don't say I don't have the technology to separate pure gold, just such a stone, and there is no name engraved on it, how do I know where the gold comes from and who I want to sell it to?"

When Chen Aaron was worried, a greasy tone interrupted his thinking.

"Hey—hey—"

Chen Aaron turned his head to look, and a fat man wearing a big white round hat and a floral shirt beckoned to him.

He did not line up at the main entrance, but stood behind away from the main entrance, shouting Chen Aaron through the crowd.

Alan Chen did not leave the recycling bin, but stood at the gate and responded in the same voice: "What are you doing?" ”

"Come out and we'll talk."

"Something to say here." Alan Chan did not agree.

The fat man in the flower shirt stepped forward and lowered his voice through a large door and said, "You sell me the stone, and I will pay a high price." ”

"What stone?"

"Don't be confused, I've seen it all." The fat man's expression was elusive, like a temptation, like a hint.

Chen Aaron frowned, he polished the stone with his back to the gate, what could this fat man see?

Alan Chen also followed suit: "How much money do you pay?" ”

"20,000 Na Coin!"

Chen Aaron didn't think about it, and refused: "It's too little." ”

"30,000!"

Alan Chen turned his head and left.

"50,000! It can't be higher, the state doesn't have the business of buying gold, and you can't sell it if you find someone else. ”

The fat man suddenly raised his voice, not hiding his voice in the slightest, and this sound attracted all the people inside and outside the recycling bin.

"Gold? What gold? "Some suspect they misheard.

"Can you find gold in this recycling bin? Really? ”

"I've heard that fingernails are worth thousands!"

The two keywords "gold" are like a piece of juicy and delicious fat, and after throwing it out, they immediately provoke the eyes of other people, and they are like jackals staring at Chen Aaron tightly, eager to snatch it and become their own.

The crowd was talking, and Alan Chen frowned.

Alan Chen judged that the fat man may be two types of people, or he is a fool nouveau riche who has committed the taboo of exposing transactions and does not know it.

Either he is a shrewd old fox who deliberately turned the stone in Alan Chen's hand into a "hot potato", and if he didn't sell it, maybe he would have to get a brick in the back of his head when he left the recycling station in the eastern suburbs.

He was sure that he couldn't see the inside of the stone from the fat man's point of view, but it was a bit strange that he said the word "gold" in one mouth.

Unless, he knew from the beginning what was in that stone!

Could it be that the fat man is the specific buyer mentioned in the task?

"There's gold here?" Alan Chen pretended to be surprised.

The fat man didn't want to say much information at all, but just urged Chen Aaron to make a move.

The fat man's attitude was unclear, but Chen Aaron was calm and did not choose to trade immediately.

It takes a lot of effort and cost to extract the pure gold from a piece of gold-iron mixture, and the fat man has a very high price, and other recycling stations will not even give such a price.

But Alan Chen's choice was to quote a more exaggerated price: "1 million." ”

The fat man frowned: "I am sincere in trading, please don't fool me." ”

Alan Chen knows that he already has the answer.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the gold you said." Chen Aaron turned around and left, "If you don't have any other business, please let me go, don't block other customers from queuing." ”

The fat man shouted at his back: "You have to think about it, that thing is worthless in your hands, how good it is to sell it to pay off your debts!" ”

Chen Aaron's heart froze, he didn't expect this fat man to know about his debts, obviously he knew his own details, and it showed more and more that this stone is definitely not simple!

"In this case, you might as well pay 1 million, and your adult beauty will let me pay off my debts more."

Chen Aaron's sentence can be regarded as talking to death, the fat man's face was cloudy for a while, and he gritted his teeth and looked ruthless: "Okay, let's see!" ”

After the fat man left, Chen Aaron knew that the real danger had just begun.

The highest asking price of gold is 2.64 million, and Alan Chen is reluctant to propose 1 million fat, so he is not the most suitable buyer.

But the fat man is definitely a dangerous buyer.

He knew a lot, including information about Alan Chen, including the origin of the stone, including the inside story of the gold.

With his guilt, Alan Chen keeps gold, and someone will fight it at any time.

The refining of gold is a trivial matter, and how to save your life is the most important thing.

Alan Chen left the gate, packed the polished gold and iron mixture with stone scraps, and hid it in a hidden place.

He didn't see that since he was gone, the remaining scavengers were rummaging through the garbage like hungry wolves, trying to keep up the myth of gold.

……

The fat man left the eastern suburbs recycling station, turned the corner, and got onto the road.

A pair of eyes were hidden in the shadows, watching him leave.

The owner of his eyes moved slowly, holding the handheld close to his ear: "Boss, the deputy mayor has been in contact with Chen Aaron in advance." ”

A calm voice came from the other side of the earpiece: "How's it going?" ”

If Alan Chen was at the scene, he would find that the other party's voice was so familiar, it was Yuan Feng, the manager of the recycling station in the western suburbs.

And the person lying in the dark was the security captain Lao Liu under Yuan Feng, who was holding a Black Star pistol in his hand.

Lao Liu's sharp gaze locked on Chen Aaron's body in the recycle bin.

"Alan Chen has already discovered gold, and the fat man proposed to buy it, but Aaron Chen did not agree."

"Chen Aaron is a trouble, keep an eye on it, find an opportunity to deal with it, and give the deputy mayor a favor."

Lao Liu asked: "Will this arouse suspicion?" ”

"Suspect something, say that the headhunters are waiting for an opportunity to retaliate."

"Understood."

Lao Liu opened the safety and pulled the sleeve bullet to load, ready to fire at any time.

He stood up and quietly blended in with the crowd at the door, approaching Alan Chen.

Make sure it's close enough that he can kill Alon Chan with a single shot and then slip away in the chaos of the crowd.

……

Chen Alan came out of the dormitory shed, the package in his hand disappeared, and he hid the gold nuggets and stones in a relatively hidden place, which would not be easily found.

Even if the fat man comes to steal it, he may not be able to find it.

During the time when he was hiding the gold nuggets, he rearranged the ins and outs of the stones, which were originally in the back yard of the recycling station in the western suburbs, in the hands of the manager Yuan Feng.

In the process of robbing the fake headhunters, the stone containing the gold nugget fell into the hands of Ma Wei's rightful righteous society.

Then the stone went to himself, and after polishing, he discovered the existence of the nuggets, and at the same time, the fat man appeared and offered to buy the nuggets.

The backyard of the recycling station in the western suburbs is the place where Yuan Feng screens valuable garbage, and since the stone is in the backyard, it means that Yuan Feng at least knows the value of this stone.

But if Yuan Feng really knew that it was impossible to calm down, the value of the gold nugget was heavy, he should have sent all the security guards to lift his eastern suburbs recycling station on the same day.

Another key is that from which link did the fat man know the value of the stone, and the stone in the hands of Alan Chen?

Chen Aaron retrieved the information provided by the handheld again, and looked back and forth before finding a detail that was not easy to find.

"The stone comes from the molten iron waste of a steel factory, but there is no steel factory in the western suburbs, why is the stone transported to the recycling station in the western suburbs?"

While thinking about it, Tong Xin called him at the gate: "Brother Lun, someone is looking for you." ”

"Oh, here we are."

Putting away his thoughts for a moment, Alan Chen walked towards the door of the recycling bin.

And outside the gate, in the crowd, a Black Star pistol quietly raised its muzzle.
