Sake makes people famous, money moves people's hearts, but we are all ordinary people. Faced with these hundreds of "gold bricks", how many people can remain calm?
Looking at Chen Laoliu drawing his sword, Lu Chen chuckled and said, "How is it, Master Chen? Do you think my Midas Touch can turn stone into gold?"
Chen Laoliu tried hard to control his heavy breathing. Not only was his hand holding the knife shaking, but his voice was also trembling as he asked, "Master Lu, what do you mean?"
"If I tell you I'm willing to teach you this magical method of turning stone into gold, and the only condition is that I exchange this for half a detoxification pill, would you be willing?"
Chen Laoliu looked at the hundreds of gold bricks lying quietly on the ground, then looked at Lu Chen, his eyes becoming extremely fanatical and he asked, "Are you serious?"
"I'm a prisoner now, how could I possibly lie to you? As long as you give me half the antidote, I can guarantee you'll learn it!"
Faced with huge benefits, Chen Laoliu almost agreed.
But in the end, he slapped himself hard, calmed himself down, and said, "Master Lu, why are you so anxious? I still say the same thing. As long as you cure my brother's illness, I will definitely give you the antidote! Besides, didn't I ask you to write down all the magic skills you know? You should write down this one too."
Seeing that Chen Laoliu refused to give in, Lu Chen did not get angry. He still said calmly, "Why bother? I don't quite understand why you captured me and forced me to write down the magic I know. But I know that many of the brothers who followed you are just trying to make a living."
"Look, there's an opportunity right before you. Just nod your head and you'll be able to master the magic of turning stone into gold. From now on, wealth and glory will literally grow upon you. Isn't this much more comfortable than living on the edge of a knife all day long?"
As Lu Chen spoke, he glanced at the people around him out of the corner of his eye. He smiled with satisfaction because he found that many people were moved.
There are not many people with great ambitions these days. Who would be willing to mess around when they can live a comfortable life?
Seeing that Chen Laoliu still refused to give in, Lu Chen added, "Besides, if I'm really determined not to cooperate, it won't help even if you kill me."
Lu Chen knew very well that once he showed his ability to turn stone into gold, Chen Laoliu would definitely not be willing to kill him before he got the method.
Even if Chen Laoliu wanted to take action, his brothers would not agree.
As expected, Chen Laoliu was still shaken. He looked around and finally said through gritted teeth: "Okay, write down the method, and I'll give you half an antidote!"
"Give me the antidote first. I'll write it after I'm sure it's effective!" Lu Chen sneered, "Boss Chen, your credibility isn't very good."
Chen Laoliu pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay!"
Lu Chen took the antidote and immediately returned to Li Mingyue. After Li Mingyue took the antidote and confirmed that it was effective, Lu Chen smiled and wrote down the method of how to turn stone into gold, and even took this group of people to do it again.
After these people watched him operate it with their own hands, they saw gold bars really flowing out of the furnace. They all went crazy, and some even wanted to reach out and touch the gold bars without waiting for them to cool down completely.
At this time, Lu Chen said, "Everyone, the gold nuggets that have just been refined must be left in the open air for seven days, not even a day less. During this process, no one can touch the gold nuggets. Once someone touches them, the gold will turn back into stone. Everyone, remember this."
Upon hearing this, everyone present became nervous. They looked at each other warily, fearing that the other party would lose control of the situation at this time.
This is their gold. If one piece is missing, it will be a huge loss.
Chen Laoliu even drew the sword from his waist again and said, "Keep your hands and feet clean. If that fool moves, don't blame me for not considering our brotherhood!"
Lu Chen was waiting for Chen Laoliu to say this. He smiled and handed a piece of paper to Chen Laoliu and said, "Master Chen, I mean what I say. This paper contains the detailed steps to turn stone into gold. You must keep it carefully."
Chen Laoliu hurriedly took the paper and carefully placed it close to his body. He then glared at his men and said, "Everyone, stay here and guard well. Don't let anyone move around, or you'll be in trouble!"
After saying that, he turned and left, probably going back to his room to safely store the secret recipe.
Chen Laoliu certainly didn't expect that the moment he turned around and left, countless greedy eyes were staring at him with malice.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Lu Chen's lips again.
As the saying goes, if you want to destroy someone, you must first drive him crazy. When does a person go crazy? Of course, when he faces huge benefits that he cannot imagine.
Turning stone into gold is the most romantic fantasy.
The reason why it is called fantasy is because it is impossible to achieve.
As a modern man, Lu Chen knew very well that the element gold was not native to the earth, but was brought to this planet by meteorites from outer space.
It is said that gold is only produced during a certain cycle of a star's life and during a supernova explosion.
Not to mention now, even in the future when science and technology are more advanced, humans will not be able to synthesize gold.
Of course, the "gold" that Lu Chen made was fake. It was an alloy of copper and zinc, that is, brass.
From the surface, the color of brass is almost the same as that of gold. In the past, many criminals have used brass to impersonate gold.
If you want to distinguish these two substances without using certain tools, you can only distinguish them by weight.
This is also the reason why Lu Chen insisted that they wait seven days before touching this "gold". If these people picked up the gold bricks and weighed them now, they would definitely find out the trick.
Lu Chen was not sure whether people outside could discover the information he had sent out. After Li Mingyue's accident, he realized that he could not just sit there and wait for death.
Instead of waiting for people outside to rescue you, you might as well find a way to destroy the enemy from inside the fortress!
From the current perspective, I have found the right way. This Chen Laoliu actually wants to have it all to himself. He is really courting death!
What we need to do next is to wait and let the bullets fly for a while!
Sure enough, that night, several thugs gathered together. One of them spat in dissatisfaction, "Damn it, we're all out here to risk our lives. It's fine that Chen Laoliu used to take the lion's share of the benefits, but now he has this ability that can make people rich for generations, and he wants to keep it for himself. He deserves to die!"
"Let me tell you, why not give him a stab and send him and his damn brother off together? Then we can divide the profits among us!"
