Zhou Qingfeng sat alone in a private room of the Imperial Hotel, with a bright yellow gold bar bouncing between his fingers. Whenever his fingers came into contact with the gold bar, there would always be a trace of gray mist that was difficult to detect.
Gray mist always tried to get into Zhou Qingfeng's skin, but failed every time. Until he got tired of playing with it, he roughly grasped the gold bar, and the strong force made fingerprints on the gold bar.
An imperceptible scream came from the gold bar, like the whistle of a boiling kettle. A stinging pain also penetrated into Zhou Qingfeng's palm. Shocked, he quickly threw the gold bar away and sprinkled holy water on his palm.
The perfect body is immune to diseases and toxins, but herpes-like blisters appeared on Zhou Qingfeng's palms, and they returned to normal after being poured with holy water.
But even so, a layer of dead skin appeared on the palms and fell off in large areas.
The gray mist did not dissipate, and it tried to hide in the gold bar again.
"Damn it." Zhou Qingfeng rubbed his palm, picked up the fallen gold bar with his 'Wizard's Hand' from a distance, threw it into the box at hand, and soaked it in holy water.
The holy water immediately boiled, like water droplets entering hot oil, crackling and splashing. The water became turbid, dirty, gave off an unpleasant smell, and was filled with lead dust.
As the amount of holy water increased, the boiling became more violent, and it lasted for more than ten minutes before it subsided. In the arcane vision, the gray mist hidden in the gold bar was completely neutralized and dissipated.
A spirit slave picked up the box and put it into the open alchemy workshop for final harmless treatment. In a corner of the workshop, there was a ton of similar gold bars piled up.
Zhou Qingfeng has been collecting gold in another world, but the gold bars in front of him do not come from the main material world, but are exchanged from the old hag in purgatory with a thousand point coupons.
Different from the manic, violent and unpredictable abyss demons, the devils in purgatory are synonymous with cunning and cunning. The latter are good at deceiving and beguiling, and use various offers that are difficult to refuse to make their targets fall.
Devils are accustomed to giving their targets some kind of benefit first, money, women, power, nothing more. But the devil's gifts are never without cost, and the payment always exceeds the gain.
Unless you are stronger than some devil.
The necromancer Mondino was plagued by bad luck because of a cursed coin. If he hadn't taken refuge with Zhou Qingfeng, he might have had his soul taken away by the old hag.
Now, Zhou Qingfeng got a whole ton of 'cursed coins', which looked like gold bars.
There is no direct connection between the real world and purgatory. The power of the devil has been greatly weakened, and the curse on gold has less than one percent of its original effect.
But mortals in this world have no resistance to the corrosive effects on gold bars.
Sophia floated behind Zhou Qingfeng and warned in a low voice: "Master, these 'cursed coins' are essentially lead blocks, which the devil spent countless years figuring out.
Once the corrosion and corrosion effects attached to it are erased, it will become a worthless piece of lead.
Don’t expect to get a ton of gold for free through any means. The devil in purgatory has already completely blocked the loopholes you thought of. You should also avoid touching these things. Once you are controlled, no one can save you."
Cursed gold bars will make the holder confident, strong, energetic, and even gain short-term healing effects, and their ability to resist diseases and toxins will also be greatly enhanced.
But the holder will also become greedy, trying to obtain wealth that does not belong to him, and even do whatever it takes to do so, taking huge risks until he destroys himself.
Sofia continued to advise: "Each 'cursed coin' will bind a holder, allowing him to corrupt until his soul is harvested by the devil.
The more gold bars you hold, the more obvious the short-term strengthening effect will be, the deeper the corruption will be, and the harder it will be to get rid of it.
However, the old hag who created the 'cursed coins' cannot come to the master's plane to harvest it, and the corrupted souls will not be willing to be controlled by the master. They must consume their own lives in order to maintain the enhanced effect.
When the holder dies, the 'cursed coin' bound to it will also return to its essence of lead, making everything seem like a futile fantasy."
Zhou Qingfeng boringly gave up on his plan to get gold for free. The cursed gold bars would be used to give gifts, and the target was naturally a bear in power like Chuikov.
As long as we can capture such a group of people, the affairs of the 'Holy Light' at Mao Xiong's house will be easy to handle. Of course, these 'cursed coins' cannot spread, otherwise it will cause a big chaos.
The next day, Chuikov took a special plane back to Moscow, taking with him a thousand mobile phones as a prepayment from the Holy Light.
The value of this batch of goods was quite high, which emboldened the deputy minister. For this reason, he allowed the first batch of more than 30 people from the 'Holy Light' advisory team to accompany him, led by Director Ma of the State Science and Technology Commission.
Zhou Qingfeng really provided an upfront public relations fee of one million US dollars. All the cash was put in a suitcase and boarded the plane directly, and was brought to Moscow with the help of Chuikov's connections.
The person in charge of the money was Gong Wei, who was in charge of the marketing business. This trip abroad made the young cadre who had been living in Nantou Township half his life excited and passionate. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night.
Zhou Qingfeng told Gong Wei clearly that this time he went to Mao Zi's house to raid the family's assets. This is the money of the 'Shengguang Group', and it must be used wisely and cannot be spent randomly by Director Ma and his group.
With one move of "knowing the language", several liaison department staff led by Director Gong were able to vaguely master Russian. This greatly facilitated communication with the Soviet side.
As for what Zhou Qingfeng explained, Gong Wei gave a heartfelt assurance, "Aren't they just old men? We are all human beings. What kind of tricks can they do? Although I am a countryman, I understand them all."
If you don't see a rabbit, don't let an eagle fly; if you don't see a devil, don't hang a string.
Gong Wei has now developed a certain style and accepted the promotion of "thinking storm". His conversation and behavior are no longer what he used to be like the propaganda officer in the past.
Ordinary Mao Zi has a straight heart and does not have too many twists and turns. What kind of bad things has Gong Wei not seen in Nantou Township? He is ruthless, stupid, stupid, greedy, and can handle it easily. He is a good person to make friends with Mao Zi at the bottom.
.
Send Gong Wei to the front line to get a feel for the situation, and also serve as the advance team for the subsequent larger advisory team. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing when we reach the end of the field and can't even eat, drink, and relieve ourselves.
This first group of people left, and Lin Wan and Huang Li continued to discuss contract details with people from the Soviet Ministry of Aviation Industry.
‘Holy Light’ has started stocking up in Tianyang and across the country. Thousands of phone calls are made every day, millions of funds are being transferred, and hundreds of vehicles are being transported.
A bunch of second-rate dealers ran towards Tianyang, trying to sell their goods to the Holy Light. He Yulan, who was in charge of the group, felt heavy pressure just now, and mustered up the spirit of the whole server every day to deal with it.
Zhou Qingfeng, who was staying in the imperial capital, was quite leisurely. He received a call from Marco Shi in Moscow. The former agent, who was as strong as a bear, said in a joking tone: "Boss, I saw you in the Red Star"

"In which edition was it published?"
"The second page is a very good position. The newspaper is praising you and basically copying the article of "Harmony Weekly"."
"What's the headline?"
"The front page? A bunch of shameless people are arguing about how to separate their families."
