By the time we got back, it was already past 11 p.m.

I just went for a walk around the city and inquired about the price of silver for recycling.

The pawnshop had already closed for the day, but around nine o'clock, I found two gold shops that were still open and inquired about their prices.

The shopkeeper said the price for silver recycling is three yuan per gram.

However, Yang Zheng was worried that the gold shop would not be able to handle such a large quantity of his work.

So he used his phone to find two more contact numbers, both of which were numbers for two precious metal recycling companies in Linjiang City.

No one answered the first call.

When I called the second company, a young man answered the phone.

Yang Zheng inquired about the price, and the recycling company said that the normal price for silver recycling is 3.5 yuan per gram.

If the silver is not from official channels, they will need to test it to see if the purity of the silver meets the standards.

If the purity is not high enough, the price will be lower.

The recycling company also said that if the quantity is large, they can come to your door to collect it.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Zheng pulled out the silver coin hidden under the bed and pondered for a long time as he looked at the exquisitely crafted design on it.

These two thousand silver dollars, though a large quantity, are worth a considerable amount of money.

But selling it like this is definitely not an option.

Any trace of the small world on the silver dollar must be completely erased.

Perhaps he is worrying unnecessarily, but we must be wary.

His biggest worry now is that the silver coins will be recycled and then resold into the collectibles market.

The patterns and information on these silver coins will surely pique the curiosity of some collectors, who may even try to trace the origins of these otherworldly silver coins.

It will be easy to find out who is behind it.

"I have so many weapons upstairs, plus exotic fruits, Tai Chi beads, and golden snakeskin. I absolutely cannot get into trouble, and I can't let anyone target me..."

Thinking of this, he immediately decided that he must deal with all these silver dollars as soon as possible.

What should we do? Melt them all into silver ingots or silver cakes.

As long as they are still silver, the price will not change.

Just do it!

"It's already 11 o'clock, and all the hardware stores outside are closed. Tomorrow morning, I'll go and buy crucibles for smelting, as well as a powerful furnace with a blower."

"We need to buy a set of everything: oxygen, gas, blow gun, flamethrower."

Once he had a plan in mind, he wasn't so worried anymore.

He stuffed the briefcase full of silver coins under the bed again and began sewing armor for the black dog.

He just took the black dog out for some chicken legs and bought some other things on the way back.

Among them were several large rolls of protective film and some leather.

"The protective layer is so thin that it needs to be thrown in early to shrink it. We also need to wrap up those six cannons tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng immediately opened the interdimensional portal and threw several protective scrolls into it.

The small world was pitch black, so people were too lazy to go in. Anyway, the protective membrane was definitely on the hillside.

Starting tomorrow, he plans to bring his dog with him whenever he enters the small world.

For its safety, we still need to make it a rough set of armor.

Basically, you just need a piece of tough leather, cut a few holes in it, and then roughly cut it to fit the size of the black dog.

As long as it fits the black dog, and the joint is tied tightly with some rope, that's fine; it doesn't matter if it looks good or not.

If the black dog has some defensive capabilities, then it's a success.

It took Yang Zheng more than an hour to finish making the armor for the black dog.

Yang Zheng took the rough, ugly leather armor, walked to the doghouse, and forced it onto the dog to try it on. It felt okay, just a little loose, but it didn't matter. It wasn't like he was taking the dog out on a blind date.

The black dog is becoming more and more obedient, probably because Yang Zheng took it out for a few chicken legs last night.

Now, no matter what Yang Zheng tries to do to it, it stays still and cooperates perfectly.

The next morning, Yang Zheng did not enter the small world.

Instead, he ran out and bought back all the materials used for smelting silver coins.

I also bought a small electronic scale.

He felt that he would definitely use this thing frequently in the future.

After all, if I were to acquire any valuable items like gold, silver, jewelry, or diamonds in the small world, I would definitely weigh them first to be sure of their weight.

Back in his bedroom, he eagerly took out a silver coin and weighed it on his newly bought electronic scale: "35.1 grams."

The weight surprised him somewhat.

As far as he knew, silver coins from the Republic of China era weighed only about 27 or 28 grams, less than 30 grams.

I never expected that these silver coins in the small world would be so heavy.

If each silver dollar weighs 35 grams, he now has a total of 2045 silver dollars, which would add up to more than 70,000 grams.

Based on the precious metals recycling company's offer of 3.5 yuan per gram, the silver coins in his possession are worth at least 200,000 yuan.

This is much higher than he estimated yesterday.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy again.

This is just silver coins. If I could get my hands on some gold jewelry in the small world later, wouldn't I become rich overnight?

While there was still time, he had to hurry and melt down the silver dollars.

Next, Yang Zheng set up the smelting furnace and poured more than two thousand silver dollars into the crucible in two batches.

It took a whole morning to successfully melt the silver coin.

The final product was six large silver ingots, each weighing over twenty kilograms.

All traces of the small world above have disappeared.

After doing all this, Yang Zheng was finally completely relieved.

Call the precious metals recycling company immediately.

Yang Zheng originally planned to have them come to his door to collect the silver, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was not appropriate. So he arranged a transaction location with them, packed the six silver ingots in a bag, and then rode his electric bike out to make the transaction.

After waiting for about an hour at the agreed location, the recycling company finally arrived in their car.

Neither side exchanged any pleasantries.

Yang Zheng took out six silver ingots directly. The other party was a little surprised, but did not ask any questions. He simply placed them on the testing equipment carried in the car according to procedure and tested them.

Silver that meets purity standards will be recycled at 3.5 yuan per gram.

The six silver ingots weigh a total of [amount] grams, and the total buyback price is [amount] yuan.

Both parties transferred the money via QR code on the spot and then left...

Around 2 PM, Yang Zheng returned to his rented room.

Looking at the transaction notification on his mobile banking app, he saw that he had received another 200,000 yuan.

He originally had about 500,000 yuan on hand.

However, the last time I went back to my hometown, I spent tens of thousands of yuan renting a house and buying weapons and equipment, leaving me with only 450,000 yuan.

Adding the two hundred thousand or so yuan from selling silver today, we've just reached seven hundred thousand yuan, with a little over a thousand yuan left over.

Looking at his mobile banking account balance, Yang Zheng felt a sense of satisfaction.

"With so much money, how many years would it have taken to save up if I had worked for a company before!"

"In a few days, once I make a big score in the lottery in the small world, I'll find a chance to tell my parents that I won the lottery in Linjiang, and then I'll transfer a large sum of money to them so they won't have to worry about it all the time."

While I was outside, the strange energy hidden inside my body started acting up again.

The stinging sensation was extremely uncomfortable.

Although the time frame is short, this kind of situation becomes particularly frustrating if it continues for a long time.

This problem must be solved as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng checked the time; it was only a little past two in the afternoon, and there was still a long time before it got dark.

"Why don't we take the black dog and go into the small world now?"

Within the small world, on that cliff face, a thick layer of tiny human corpses had accumulated.

He now wants to climb up and search to see if he can find any cultivation manuals or techniques inside.

If I find the secret manual for cultivation, I should be able to control the strange energy flow within my body, right?

Thinking of all this, he immediately became impatient.

The enemies in the small world had already witnessed the giant's ferocity yesterday and were terrified.

They captured all their heavy weapons and equipment themselves.

Although some of the smaller creatures escaped, without new weapon support, no one should dare to challenge the giants for a short period of time.

"Okay, let's do it this way. First, call the dog in and put on its armor. Then we'll take it into the small world to search for treasure!"
