"You are living a more comfortable life than I am."
Sitting on the sofa and stroking Duobao's neck, Su Xiaofan found that its fur had become smoother and smoother, and now it felt very good when stroking it.
During these days of seclusion, Su Xiaofan would feed Duobao a drop of monkey wine every once in a while when he woke up.
Therefore, Duobao was in a half-asleep and half-awake state during this period, using the power of monkey wine to evolve himself.
"Meow..."
Duobao rubbed his head against Su Xiaofan. After using his tongue to show affection and being rejected by Su Xiaofan several times, Duobao gave up that kind of affection.
Turning on the phone, Su Xiaofan looked at the missed calls. There were calls from his teacher, his sister, and Brother Gang. As for the one that didn't show the caller number, Su Xiaofan estimated that the call was probably from his father.
Sure enough, after Su Xiaofan called back, the other party couldn't get through again, and Master's phone couldn't get through either. This time he should have entered the restricted area again.
After listening to his sister talking about how solid his cultivation was, Su Xiaofan felt that he was slowly returning to society.
I don't know whether it's because of his cultivation or because he has been in seclusion for a long time without contact with the outside world. Su Xiaofan feels that the gap between himself and society is getting bigger and bigger.
So after calling Brother Gang and hearing Brother Gang calling him to go out for hot pot, Su Xiaofan immediately agreed.
After driving for more than forty minutes, Su Xiaofan returned to the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar Luochuan City.
"Hey, Brother Gang, have you really found a sister-in-law for me?"
As soon as he entered the hot pot restaurant, Su Xiaofan saw Brother Gang and his secretary and translator sitting together. Su Xiaofan couldn't help but start teasing them.
"Brother Gang, I am not young either. I will get married after the Chinese New Year!"
Zheng Dagang was so thick-skinned that he didn't care at all about Su Xiaofan's teasing. On the contrary, the girl's face turned red.
"By the way, I brought the meteorite for you."
Zheng Dagang took out a bag and handed it to Su Xiaofan and said: "I received a total of four meteorites. People who collect these meteorites are generally unwilling to sell them, and there are too few auctions."
"Four dollars is a lot, thank you for your hard work, Brother Gang." Su Xiaofan smiled and took it, without looking at it in person, and put it directly into the backpack he brought.
"The four meteorites cost a total of more than 24 million..."
"Brother Gang, you don't need to tell me these things."
Su Xiaofan waved his hand, interrupted Zheng Dagang's words, took out a card and handed it to him, and said: "If the money in the company's account is not much, you can use the money to swipe it from this card. You can swipe it out for less than 50 million."
.”
This card was given to Su Xiaofan by Aunt Mei. He had only paid for hotel rooms a few times in total. It was of no use if he kept it with him. It would be better to give it to Brother Gang for consumption.
"No, it's not like I don't have money."
Zheng Dagang shook his head and said: "The company still has tens of millions in its account. It's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. When the Spring Festival is over and the spring auction starts again, we will still have a lot of money in our account.
"
When it came to the company's business, Zheng Dagang was a little excited. The ancient jades that Su Xiaofan handed over to him were all of the highest quality. Basically, without any effort, he negotiated with the auction house for a special auction in the spring after the new year.
Now that the auction house's publicity has gone out, almost all well-known domestic collectors have received the auction house's catalogue, and many have written to the auction house to confirm their participation in the spring auction.
Moreover, the commission negotiated with the auction house has been reduced to 2%. Now Zheng Dagang is a VIP customer of the multinational auction house. He has a dedicated person and car to receive him when he goes to London, for fear of neglecting this important customer.
"Okay, you can spend the money in the company's account as you see fit."
Seeing that Zheng Dagang didn't want it, Su Xiaofan put the card away.
"Brother Gang, how about you schedule your wedding during the Chinese New Year?"
Su Xiaofan said: "The Chinese New Year is very lively, and friends from other places can go home. After the Chinese New Year, everyone else has gone away. Do you want to come back specifically?"
Su Xiaofan must be at home during the New Year, because his father is coming back, but it's hard to say after the New Year, and he doesn't know what will happen.
"That's right what you said."
Zheng Dagang turned to his girlfriend, "Xiaoqian, what do you think?"
"I listen to you." Xiaoqian smiled and didn't say much.
"Then let's get married during the Chinese New Year. I'll go back and tell my parents." Zheng Dagang was also a man of his own opinions and made the decision immediately.
"Hey, Xiaofan, you are my best brother. Don't be stingy about giving me a wedding gift later."
Zheng Dagang said with a smile: "If I had known, I would have followed Uncle Jing before, but now I am too old to practice. When I give birth to a son, I will ask him to become your teacher!"
"Let's talk about it after your son is born."
Su Xiaofan smiled and said, "Brother Gang, how about I send you and your sister-in-law to travel around the world? All the expenses will be charged to my account."
"Forget it, there is nothing good abroad."
Zheng Dagang shook his head and said: "I'm not used to eating after I go out. The food is still from our country. I don't know what happened. I went to a foreign casino and they didn't let me in..."
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Su Xiaofan's eyes flickered. Naturally, he felt a little guilty after doing such a good thing.
"Yes, ask Xiaoqian, we went to Las Vegas and wanted to go in and play a few games. Who knew Xiaoqian could enter, but she wouldn't let me in!"
Zheng Dagang said angrily: "Is the US dollar bill I got fake? This is racial discrimination!"
Brother Gang is still very adaptable to foreign national conditions. At that time, he shouted racial discrimination immediately, which made the casino become nervous and sent someone to communicate with him.
According to the casino, they received a ban from the World Gaming Association, prohibiting Zheng Dagang from entering the casino. As for where the ban was initiated, they did not explain.
"Brother Gang, you must be too good at Ao Island. You won more than 100 million in one go, so the casino won't let you in."
Su Xiaofan first blamed Zheng Dagang. Anyway, it was Zheng Dagang who came forward to win money that day, not himself.
"Then I won't take the blame for you."
Zheng Dagang said with a sigh on his face: "The gambling king can no longer enter the casino. What a regrettable thing. Forget it, I will play mahjong for two yuan later..."
"Brother Gang, hurry up and eat. If you don't eat, your face will fall into the hot pot."
Su Xiaofan laughed out loud at being amused by Zheng Dagang. After many days of seclusion, the barrier between him and society was almost eliminated.
However, Su Xiaofan had to think carefully about what gift to give to Zheng Dagang. Giving money would not make much sense, but the gift should not be taken lightly.
After eating a down-to-earth hot pot meal, Su Xiaofan went around the house his father bought and opened some windows for ventilation.
After returning to the villa, Su Xiaofan took out the bag in his bag, which Brother Gang spent more than 10 million to recover from abroad.
Su Xiaofan had absorbed a lot of meteorites some time ago, so Su Xiaofan didn't take a close look at them. He glanced at them and the information about several meteorites appeared in his mind.
[Moon Meteorite: Can it be absorbed? Is it absorbed? 】
[Tektite: Can it be absorbed? Is it absorbed? 】
[Solar Energy Storm Factor Meteorite: Can it be absorbed? Is it absorbed? 】
[Gold and Iron Meteorite: Can it be absorbed? Is it absorbed? 】
"Why do you have such a long name?"
Su Xiaofan glanced at the information in his mind, was suddenly stunned, and quickly read it again.
"Damn it, another solar energy storm factor meteorite finally appeared!"
Su Xiaofan couldn't wait to pick up a fiery red meteorite the size of a thumbnail on the table.
Yes, that's it. Although the meteorite is small in size, it gives people a very special feeling.
Especially when Su Xiaofan observed with his spiritual sense, the meteorite seemed to be densely packed with nebulae and moving slowly, just like the starry sky in the universe, which made people feel very mysterious.
Holding the meteorite tightly in his hand, Su Xiaofan took out his cell phone with his other hand and dialed Zheng Dagang.
"Xiaofan, did you forget something?"
Less than two hours after they separated from Su Xiaofan, Zheng Dagang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he received a call from Su Xiaofan.
"Brother Gang, where did that smallest meteorite come from? Is it the fiery red one?!" Su Xiaofan asked straight to the point, his tone a little urgent.
"That meteorite was bought from a collector in London. Here's what happened..."
Zheng Dagang was deeply impressed by that meteorite. When he went to London, he didn't know anyone, let alone the meteorite collectors there.
However, Brother Gang also had an idea and directly made a request to the international auction house, hoping to meet the meteorite collectors in London.
If anyone knows collectors best, it is definitely the auction house, because these collectors are their customers, and the auction house knows who has good things in their hands.
Of course, the high-end customer auction house would not introduce it to Zheng Dagang. The person who finally brought Zheng Dagang to meet was a relatively well-known meteorite hunter in London.
The meteorites that the meteorite hunter took out at that time did not have this fiery red meteorite. They were all larger ordinary meteorites, each weighing dozens of kilograms.
Brother Gang showed a disdainful attitude toward the meteorite hunter's collection. In the end, the meteorite hunter also became annoyed and said that there were good things, but he was afraid that Zheng Dagang could not afford them.
Brother Gang had tens of millions in his account. At that time, he threw his Hong Kong checkbook on the table, saying that as long as there were rare meteorites, money was no problem.
Finally, the meteorite hunter took out the thumb-sized meteorite and told Brother Gang that it was the most precious meteorite in his collection.
This meteorite was once sent to a national research institute for research, but no one has been able to decipher the material of this meteorite.
Moreover, this meteorite is so hard that even with water jets, lasers, and even strong acids, it cannot be broken down.
The research institute had no choice but to return the meteorite to the meteorite hunter, who kept it as a treasure.
Later, there were also meteorite collectors who wanted to buy this meteorite, but the price offered by the meteorite hunters was prohibitive for those collectors.
Although Brother Gang doesn't know much about meteorites, his execution ability is absolutely superb.
Su Xiaofan once said that as long as it is an extremely rare rare meteorite, Brother Gang will get it regardless of the cost.
The guy's price was a bit harsh, and he directly called out a price of 2.2 million pounds. Brother Gang used the calculator on his mobile phone to calculate, and the price already exceeded 20 million RMB.
For such a large sum of money, Brother Gang originally wanted to communicate with Su Xiaofan and send him a picture to see.
But during that time, Su Xiaofan's phone was still unreachable. Finally, Brother Gang gritted his teeth and made a decision, lowering the price to two million pounds and closing the deal with the other party.
"Xiaofan, is that thing expensive?"
Brother Gang felt a little uneasy. After all, for something worth less than 20 million, Brother Gang didn't know if he was buying the right thing.
"It's not expensive, Brother Gang. This kind of thing is not expensive for even 200 million yuan!"
Su Xiaofan said: "He doesn't have this kind of meteorite in his hand yet? Have you asked him where he got it?"
"I asked, and he said this thing came from a volcanic eruption..."
Zheng Dagang's answer was somewhat beyond Su Xiaofan's expectations, "The volcano erupted into meteorites? Brother Gang, that's what that person said?"
Although Su Xiaofan was sure that this was a meteorite, Su Xiaofan never imagined that this meteorite was erupted from a volcano, so it should be an authentic product of the earth.
"That's what the man said."
Zheng Dagang said: "Although he got this stone from a volcanic eruption, he can guarantee that it is definitely a meteorite. If not, he can refund the money."
According to that person, he got it from a piece of solidified lava when he was watching the eruption of an active volcano on Tanna Island in the South Pacific a few years ago.
He said that it was a gift given to him by God, because at that time he passed through the guardrail and wanted to observe the erupting Sur Volcano up close and feel the feeling of the hot fire waves hitting his face.
The volcano fulfilled his wish. A piece of burning lava erupted from the crater and fell right at his feet, setting his pants on fire.
In Zheng Dagang's opinion, the foreigner's thinking was always very strange. Although he was burned to a bare buttock, the man kept the culprit, which was the solidified lava rock.
Different from ordinary lava rocks, this lava rock is actually translucent, and this thing called a meteorite is hidden in the lava rock.
After smashing the lava rock and obtaining the stone, the man kept insisting that it was a meteorite from the universe. For this reason, he found many research institutes for identification.
It is a pity that the texture of this meteorite is too special. Even radiation, strong acid, aurora, and water jets were used, but the material of this stone could not be analyzed.
There was once a research institute that wanted to purchase this meteorite for 200,000 pounds, but was rejected by the meteorite hunter.
The meteorite hunter believed that this meteorite was absolutely unique in the world, and he would not consider selling it for less than two million pounds.
Although foreign high-end research institutes are generally very wealthy, no one is so prodigal as to spend two million pounds to buy a stone that cannot be analyzed and studied.
Of course, these were all translated to Brother Gang by his girlfriend, and Brother Gang estimated that there was a lot of storytelling in his words.
In recent years, China's purchasing power has been beyond the reach of Europeans. Zheng Dagang did not lose the prestige of the Chinese and directly won it for two million pounds.
In fact, what Zheng Dagang didn't know was that out of the two million pounds, the staff at the auction house who led the way took a commission of a full 200,000 pounds.
Afterwards, the meteorite hunter opened a bottle of 1928 Johnnie whiskey to celebrate the good price his meteorite had sold.
As for whether the two people regarded Zheng Dagang as a fat sheep or a traitor, Zheng Dagang didn't know. He only knew that he helped Su Xiaofan collect an extremely rare meteorite.
"Xiaofan, that meteorite is very valuable?"
Brother Gang immediately felt relieved when he heard that he had not made a loss-making transaction.
"Well, Brother Gang, later you withdraw 20 million from the company's account and regard it as a reward for this meteorite!"
Su Xiaofan said: "Don't refuse, and don't be polite to me. If you receive this kind of meteorite next time, I will give you a reward of 100 million yuan!"
In fact, Su Xiaofan didn't have much expectations for Brother Gang's trip to Europe before.
On the contrary, Uncle Lu'an gave him a big surprise, and his repair value reached the highest point of 3,300 points.
But Su Xiaofan really didn't expect that Brother Gang would give him the biggest surprise. He actually gave himself a solar energy storm factor meteorite that could upgrade the system.
"Okay, you're welcome, brother. I'm also going to buy a house in your community. From now on, we two brothers will be neighbors."
Zheng Dagang knew that Su Xiaofan was not being polite to him, and he was not being pretentious at the moment. Although his family background was good, he couldn't bear to think that this was money he earned.
It has only been half a year since we started the company together with Su Xiaofan. Even if we don’t count the 20 million, Brother Gang has already earned more than 10 million.
Now Brother Gang always walks with his arms sideways in front of his father. For this reason, his father, who is a professor, chased him down the street with a pointer.
"Okay, I'll ask Uncle Zhao later and ask him to give you a discount."
Su Xiaofan was naturally very happy that Brother Gang was willing to live here. After practicing, chatting with Brother Gang and bragging was a kind of life.
After hanging up Brother Gang's call, Su Xiaofan turned his attention to the meteorite again.
After asking about the origin of this meteorite, Su Xiaofan knew that it would be impossible to trace the source and find the solar energy storm factor meteorite.
In fact, not only this meteorite, but almost all rare meteorites are irreproducible and unique. Being able to get this meteorite is already considered a blessing in disguise.
"Absorb it all."
Su Xiaofan never kept good things here overnight. After placing the sun meteorites once, Su Xiaofan absorbed the other meteorites first.
[Repair value: 2580 points!]
Seeing the information that appeared in his mind, Su Xiaofan knew that the three meteorites had increased his repair value by 180 points. After purifying Thunder Gold Essence several times before, Su Xiaofan's repair value dropped from 3300 points to 2400 points.
[Solar Energy Storm Factor Meteorite: Can it be absorbed? Is it absorbed? 】
"absorb!"
Su Xiaofan focused on the sun meteorite in his palm. Unlike last time when the system couldn't wait to absorb it on its own, this time at least he asked Su Xiaofan for his opinion.
As Su Xiaofan gave the order, the sun meteorite did not turn into ashes, but melted in Su Xiaofan's palm.
Even with his eyes widened, Su Xiaofan didn't understand how the melted liquid merged into his palm.
But the meteorite indeed disappeared, and a familiar line of words appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind.
[All things repair system: System repair is in progress, 7%...]
"Last time it was repaired from 3% to 6%. This time it jumped directly to 7%. I wonder how much it can be repaired?"
All the information about repairing the system disappeared in my mind, there was only the word "system repair".
However, Su Xiaofan was not worried. He remembered that the system repair did not take long, it only took two or three days last time.
Moreover, this solar meteorite was only about twice the size of the last time, and Su Xiaofan did not expect it to repair the system to 100%.
Of course, Su Xiaofan is still looking forward to the new features that are likely to appear after the system is repaired.
Previously, there was an additional accumulation function, which allowed Su Xiaofan to greatly reduce the loss of repair value, but this time, I don't know what kind of surprise it will bring to Su Xiaofan.
