Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 18 Selling Silver Coins
When Li Xia got home, she first organized all her things, putting the useful ones into her personal space.

Li Xia still remembered that crazy person who shot himself; he had glanced at it on his phone while eating earlier.

There was only one news report about a loading and unloading truck losing control and crashing into the roadside, indicating that there were no casualties.

There are on-site videos on short video websites, where you can see yourself standing at the scene looking completely bewildered.

But that's all. Li Xia recalled carefully, and it seemed that she hadn't even had a chance to fire the gun before it exploded.

Given that she was sitting in the car, it's normal that she wasn't discovered, so the crazy woman is most likely still there.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. It just so happens that I'll be going out during this time to improve my basic attributes and learn some basic skills.

The personal space is now a full 100 cubic meters in size, and it will expand further as the temple is revived.

One hundred cubic meters is about half the size of a classroom. It looks alright on its own, but the space has an advantage: the items inside aren't simply piled up on the floor.

Instead, they can be placed anywhere within the space, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the space.

In just a short while, the entire room was empty, making the old man who collects garbage in the community grin from ear to ear.

After confirming several times that he didn't want any of these things, the old man solemnly assured him, "If there are any valuables hidden inside, I will definitely return them to you!"

Valuables? What else could be valuables?
Li Xia shook her head. When her parents were in a car accident, the person who caused the accident didn't have anything to be held accountable for. The car they were driving was stolen. They tried everything from the ICU to other methods, and sold everything they could. Just when she was preparing to sell the house, they passed away.

Logically speaking, such a problem shouldn't occur in the ICU as long as there's still money in the account, but Li Xia inexplicably felt that her parents didn't want to be a burden on her.

After a moment of silence, he carefully put away the portraits of the two elders and left home.

First, I went to a mobile phone store and bought a basic old-fashioned phone without any fancy features. Then I bought a new smartphone and managed to get an unregistered black card at a newsstand.

After switching her original SIM card to a basic mobile phone, Li Xia immediately turned off the phone and would not turn it on again except when necessary, in order to avoid being tracked through her phone.

Then I went to the bank and withdrew the rest of my money, which was less than 10,000 yuan in total. The bank didn't even ask me what I wanted to do with the money.

"Free Fighting: Strength and Speed ​​Training"

In a quiet coffee shop, Li Xia listed on a piece of paper the ways she could think of to improve her strength.

"Oh, and shooting, melee combat, and martial arts."

The pen stopped at 'martial arts', and Li Xia's eyebrows furrowed. Martial arts... there's a lot of exaggeration in that area.

To say it's all fake wouldn't be so bad, but to say it's as real as the hype makes it out to be a bit much would also be an exaggeration.

Li Xia recalled a wedding banquet she had once attended, where the groom's father had practiced martial arts for many years, practicing Tai Chi and wielding a nine-section whip skillfully.

The customs in my hometown are not good; they will put a tall hat on the groom's father's head and smear ink on his face.

As a result, Li Xia witnessed a truly fantastical scene: the uncle was extremely proud and refused to accept this outdated custom.

Five or six young men stepped forward but couldn't hold him down. No one knew how he did it, but the people holding him always staggered and let go, eventually managing to escape.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xia finally decided to add martial arts, just in case it could actually materialize into a skill.

After reorganizing his notes, Li Xia pondered for a long time, looking at the long list of things, and finally wrote down a single word at the end.

And circled it, then tapped it heavily.

'money'

All of the above plans have in common that they require a large amount of money to support them.

The source of the money was a shiny silver coin that suddenly appeared between Li Xia's fingers.

【Meiji Ryoyang】

[Valuable Item - Currency] [Comment: A type of silver coin; perhaps in some worlds, someone would be willing to pay a high price to collect it.]

I just checked online, and the price of Meiji Dragon Dollars fluctuates greatly, ranging from four or five million to as little as a few hundred dollars.

However, these items in my possession were specifically selected by the system as valuable items, naturally belonging to the top tier.

Therefore, raising funds still depends on these silver coins.

Li Xia made up his mind and carefully put the silver dollars away.

set off!

Nanjing is an ancient capital with the charm of Jiangnan, and its cultural industry is quite rich. The city center still retains many buildings and alleys from previous dynasties.

These alleyways are home to many shops that deal in antiques, especially a wide variety of coins.

Li Xia found a coin shop that looked quite legitimate, and was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of coins in front of her as soon as she entered.

The glass display case was filled to the brim, as if it were a grand gathering of coins from all over the world, ancient and modern.

"Welcome, handsome."

A smiling woman approached and subtly glanced at Li Xia from head to toe:
"Is this your first time here, sir? Are you here to collect or to sell?"

Li Xia took out a small box from his pocket and placed it on the counter. He had no time for idle chatter and simply said, "Make the move."

The woman, however, was not surprised. She had seen all sorts of people in the coin shop.

Upon opening the small box, one could see a gleaming silver coin inside.

If it's genuine, this is the condition.
Upon closer inspection, I almost swore. Who made this fake? It's so careless.

They can't even do a good job of aging it; it looks like it's only been in circulation for ten years or so.

"Young man, your coins are..."

The woman held the silver coin in her hand and examined it carefully, but she couldn't bring herself to say what she had only said halfway through.

The more I looked, the more alarmed I became, realizing that all the details I knew so well matched up perfectly.

And then there's its condition.
If it were true, the string of numbers flashed through the woman's mind—the final price after the auction.

Good heavens, could it be that I've really met a treasure?

Suppressing her burning desire, the woman took out a magnifying glass and examined the object closely, racking her brains to find something amiss.

But no matter how she looked at it, there was nothing wrong with the silver coin; it was practically perfect, so perfect it didn't seem real.

But if there really is no problem, then we'll really make a fortune!
There are plenty of people willing to pay a high price to buy it. Putting aside everything else, this silver coin can be used to launder at least five million in illicit funds.

She couldn't resist picking up the silver coin, intending to go back inside to find someone to help her examine it.

Just then, a hand pressed down on the box, with long, slender fingers.

The woman looked up in surprise and saw Li Xia staring at her, saying calmly:

"Isn't this against the rules?"
