Huo Yushen caught a glimpse of her smile and was slightly surprised, not knowing what she was laughing at.
But this smile gave him a little confidence, and he still tried hard to persuade Xia Chujian.
"Xia Chujian, tell me, what conditions do you want in exchange for going with me to that place to take a look?"
Xia Chujian didn't expect that Huo Yushen would let her set her own conditions!
Do you trust her character so much?
Xia Chujian snorted in his heart and said calmly: "If you want me to take action once, that's fine."
"Let's follow the rules of bounty hunting. I'll make you a price. If you accept it, I'll take your order."
Huo Yushen's voice was cold but with a hint of helplessness in it: "...Okay, you go ahead."
Xia Chujian opened his mouth without hesitation: "Fifty taels of gold, if you're willing to pay, I can take it!"
Gold is an extremely rare metal in the Beichen Empire.
Because all planets do not produce gold, the gold mines on the planets were brought here in ancient times by the impact of stellar bodies caused by supernova explosions.
After more than 10,000 years of development, the six habitable planets of the Beichen Empire have basically no gold mines left.
Moreover, most of the gold produced was occupied by the royal family and the four major families.
The small amount circulating outside is also controlled by nobles below the four major families.
Among ordinary people, only extremely wealthy people can own one or two pieces of pure gold jewelry.
And the sizes are not big, most of them are rings, a few are bracelets, and even rarer are necklaces.
Therefore, when the Beichen Empire's space exploration forces explore the outer galaxies, searching for gold mines is also one of their tasks.
But compared with other special metals and exotic metals, the applicability of gold is actually not that high.
It exists more as a symbol of wealth, and is used to make various expensive jewelry. It is also the general equivalent stipulated by the laws of the Beichen Empire.
For ordinary people, it is not a big deal to never own gold in their life.
This thing cannot be eaten or drunk, but for ordinary people, it is really nothing.
Of course, this does not apply to people like Xia Chujian, who have liked golden things since childhood.
If she took out that box of natural pure gold ore, she would be rich enough to rival a country.
But she won't sell it.
For her, it was a personal hobby, not hoarding.
According to the current gold price in the Beichen Empire, one gram of gold is worth ten thousand Beichen coins.
She wanted fifty taels, which was 2,500 grams of gold, worth 25 million Beichen coins.
It’s already a huge sum of money!
And there is nothing to buy with money...
Because the gold that the Beichen Empire can trade is all paper gold, that is, gold on the books, not physical gold.
Therefore, Xia Chujian added: "...I want the real thing."
Huo Yushen's eyes moved slightly, and he thought, if he really needed 25 million in cash, he couldn't take it out immediately, and it would take some time to raise it.
But physical gold...
This girl probably doesn't know that her mother's favorite thing is also gold.
Therefore, Huo Yushen's family hoarded a lot of gold, including gold nuggets, gold bars, gold bricks, and gold jewelry.
Moreover, his mother only loves pure gold, so all the gold in his family is of an outrageously high purity.
He dug several warehouses under his house just to store gold.
Huo Yushen was relieved, his face still calm, and even said with some embarrassment: "...The transactions in the bank are all paper gold. Where can I find physical gold now?"
Xia Chujian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This is not my problem, it's your problem."
"Again, if you have 50 taels of physical gold, I'll take the order."
"If not...it's hot in the summer, I'm going to eat some ice watermelon to cool down."
After saying that, he ended the encrypted video chat with Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen received the encryption program, and Su Buyan was able to see him.
"What are you talking about? So confidential? I can't even hear it?" Su Buyan glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.
Huo Yushen said, "There's nothing I can do about it. It's quite confidential."
"By the way, I need to go out for a while. When can you repair the mecha?"
Su Buyan looked at the progress of the instrument and said, "It will be almost done in two hours."
Huo Yushen said, "I'll come back in two hours."
He left Su Buyan's mecha studio and quickly returned to his home on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
His mother, She Zhuyin, was still recovering from her injuries in the top medical cabin of the Dark Night Hunter headquarters building in the center of the imperial capital.
Huo Yushen went to the basement alone, followed the complicated procedures, and spent half an hour finally opening the vault door.
The dazzling golden light instantly fell.
Huo Yushen narrowed his eyes and thought, what's so good about these things?
I can’t eat or drink it. I don’t understand why some people like this kind of blinding thing so much.
He grabbed five small gold bars.
This type of gold bar is of standard quality and has a highly consistent purity and weight.
Each stick weighs ten taels, and five sticks weigh exactly fifty taels.
But the vault door happened to be open. Since I was already here, it would be a waste of time just to take the gold bars.
So he walked around the vault and took out two gold necklaces, two gold rings, two gold bracelets, and a shiny gold brick weighing about five kilograms.
After putting these things in a small safe, he carried it out of the vault and then used another set of cumbersome methods to lock the vault door.
Next is a series of heavy doors in the basement, and finally the stairs leading up.
