Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

"Worth... let alone two, if this were an era when cultural relics could be traded, ten would be more than enough..." Liu Aiguo said honestly, "You could also hand them over to the state and request that they give you a couple of oxen for draft..."

"Don't mention this!"

Taishu's son, holding the chime bells, said, "If word gets out and the country finds out, my ancestors will be blamed, and I might even be dragged out for public criticism!"

Old Yan looked at Liu Aiguo: "How about you find a way to get me two cows...?"

Cultural relics are precious.

But the villagers are more important.

If he can't farm, not only will the common people not forgive him, but if the higher-ups come over, he'll be in serious trouble.

"Don't worry!" Old Yan said, "I will keep it a secret... Only the three of us know about this. If I leak it, it won't do us any good. Dealing with this stuff in private is a serious crime!"

Liu Aiguo said, "Don't talk nonsense... Once the cow arrives, the whole village will know, you can't keep it a secret!"

“Yes…” Captain Yan said, “When the time comes, I’ll just say I borrowed the cow from the east of the city… No one will bother to find out the truth… We’ll talk about it later!”

Liu Aiguo's eyes lit up: That's a good idea!

“Okay…” Liu Aiguo said, “Just say that the ox is borrowed… If anyone investigates, just say that I lent it to you!”

"Ok!"

Liu Aiguo didn't stand on ceremony; he took the bronze bell, placed it in the bicycle basket, and covered it with a red cloth.

Then he said, "Tonight, you take some men to this place... and the two cows are yours..."

Liu Aiguo retrieved two strong oxen, one male and one female, from the system and placed them in the storefront he rented, then asked Lao Wang to watch over them!

As expected, Old Yan arrived with several people that night.

The two sides will hand over the cattle.

Completed!

……

"Ding dong..."

The moment Liu Aiguo placed the gilded bronze bell into his system, the system suddenly announced: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained a national treasure-level antique. As a special reward, you will receive a unique item..."

"A special item has been placed in your system space. Please check it!"

Good guy!

Liu Aiguo's body trembled.

The value of this artifact is self-evident.

Although Yuan blue and white porcelain is valuable, it is probably worth far less than this gilded bronze bell.

Especially its historical value.

This is a vital national asset.

Therefore, when the Yuan blue and white porcelain was placed into the system, it did not cause any disturbance in the system, but this item caused the system to vibrate directly and reward items.

Let's see what the reward is.

whoosh...

Liu Aiguo scanned the system with his divine sense.

In the system space, a golden book was placed in a compartment.

[Super Stamina Skill Book]: A special item rewarded by the system, which can be used to increase personal stamina after fusion.

Upon seeing this statement, Liu Aiguo said he didn't understand.

Just then, the system brought up another interface.

Personal attributes panel.

Name: Liu Aiguo!

Age: 24 years old!

Gender: Male!

Stamina: 78 points (Rating: Above average. The limit that humans can reach is 99 points... The higher the stamina, the greater the strength, health, defense, speed, etc.)

Intelligence: 88 points!

……

Seeing this, Liu Aiguo finally understood that this so-called physical strength was a comprehensive evaluation of physical fitness.

Humanity can only reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao at ninety-nine points.

For example, those mixed-race basketball players from the United States can all reach a stamina level of over 90.

Historical figures like Lü Bu and Xiang Yu in China all approached or reached 99 points.

Now, if I, Liu Aiguo, can integrate this skill book, perhaps I can reach the limits of human potential.

Should I... go play basketball?

"Ding-dong... Host... Do you wish to fuse?"

"Fusion!"

Liu Aiguo directly chose to merge!

then……

buzzing...

The mysterious golden book vanished, and a violent force came from all directions, squeezing into Liu Aiguo's body.

Flesh and blood shattered and instantly reformed.

Liu Aiguo felt as if he had been reborn, with inexhaustible energy within him.

Take another look at your data panel.

Stamina: 178 points!

puff……

Liu Aiguo almost spat out blood!

Damn...

The limit that humans can reach is 99. Now... am I no longer human?

I think it was 78 points before, now it's 178 points!

In other words, I just used a skill book and it directly increased my skill points by 100.

Liu Aiguo felt that with his current physical strength, he could easily lift a small car.

Ok……

Or, try to see how high you can jump.

whoosh...

next moment!

Liu Aiguo jumped up in the room!

result……

His body shot out like a rocket, landing headfirst on the roof.

Wow!

They smashed a huge hole in the roof!

Damn it...

This isn't even the full force they've used yet.

Liu Aiguo was shocked.

One jump and you can reach the rooftop.

I'm... a whiz at scaling walls and rooftops.

This……

Shock!

If they fight again, I reckon He Yuzhu could be crushed with a single finger.

……

Collapse the system!

Liu Aiguo came out of the house and looked at the roof of his house.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, and other neighbors from the backyard also came out one by one, all looking at Liu Aiguo's roof.

"Brother Liu... what happened?" Xu Damao asked while eating a bowl of white noodles, "Why is there a hole in the roof?"

"Yeah... what happened? Who smashed it?" Liu Haizhong asked, puzzled.
