The Abyss World, the Kemono Girl Encyclopedia Project!

No one could have imagined that so many gold coins could be hidden in this pile of heavy black rock bricks. Wang Yan and Zhuo Hua were digging with all their might, determined to dig out all the broken bricks as soon as possible.

The two didn't dare to rest and spent nearly an hour cleaning the warehouse. They dug out twenty-five identical gold ingots, all hidden inside the bricks, each estimated to weigh about a pound.

After storing all the gold ingots into their system space, Wang Yan and Zhuo Hua exchanged a glance, clearly understanding each other's meaning. The two then quickly cleaned up the area where the cargo warehouse had crashed, throwing the broken wood chips and shattered black rocks off the cliff. Having done all this, the two hurriedly left this place of trouble.

Wang Yan had seen this kind of plot many times in those European and American action movies. A gang leader loses a sum of money, which is then picked up by a poor man, thus starting a chase between the gang and the poor man. Without a doubt, these gold coins were hidden in the bricks, obviously not meant to be seen in the light of day, and it was likely that someone would come after them.

But Wang Yan didn't care about any of that. Anyway, the cargo warehouse crashed on his territory, and there was no way he would give it back.

What? What if they come knocking on our door?

Oh dear, what do I, a weak scholar who can't even kill a chicken, know about such matters? You should talk to my silly little white-haired son.

In short, Wang Yan has made a fortune out of nothing. Perhaps he can sell these things to the higher-ups later to exchange for some necessary resources.

The two ran very fast and soon returned home. After entering the house, Wang Yan quickly sealed the cave entrance with a huge rock, calmed his panting chest, and kept thinking to himself, "We've made a fortune!"

"Wang Yan, can I take a look at that gold ingot from earlier?"

Zhuohua asked a question, and Wang Yan, without thinking, took it out of his system space and handed it to Zhuohua. Only then did Zhuohua carefully examine the appearance of the gold ingot, and then slowly said:

"This design...I haven't seen it much before. It doesn't look like currency; it's more like some kind of craftwork. But judging from the luster, it's definitely pure gold..."

After examining the gold ingot several times, Zhuohua returned it to Wang Yan and instructed him:

"Keep this safe with you. Don't tell the sisters about this yet. When Lingdang arrives in a few days, give her some money and have her take you to a place upstairs to exchange all this stuff for silver."

Wang Yan thought the same way. How to properly handle these gold ingots was also a problem, because they didn't know their origin. So Wang Yan planned to melt all the gold ingots down to make them into simple gold ingots. They couldn't just hand them over to Lingdang to sell, otherwise the news might be leaked by her.

After all, it's highly questionable that a group of people from the lower classes could produce so much gold.

That evening, after dinner, everyone went to bed, but Wang Yan called Yingluo out alone and whispered to her:

"Yingluo, I'm going to take some things out later. You need to melt them with the strongest fire, understand?"

Yingluo nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although she didn't quite understand Wang Yan's meaning, she figured he probably wanted her to burn something.

After looking around for a while, Wang Yan carefully took out the gold ingot, placed it on a stone, and asked Yingluo to heat it with fire.

In fact, a quartz bowl is required for proper gold melting, otherwise the gold will stick to the bottom after melting and cannot be removed. However, Wang Yan's purpose was not to actually melt the gold, but only to soften it and destroy its original shape.

Because the required firepower was quite strong, Yingluo had no choice but to enter the burning state. Although the little girl didn't know what the gold ingot was, she could tell that it was a very valuable item. Without asking any questions, she gently stretched out her jade hand, and a compressed line of fire rolled up the gold ingot in front of her. In no time, the gold ingot became an extremely soft shape. Wang Yan immediately stepped forward, took out his military knife, and fiddled with it haphazardly until it turned into a gold lump before stopping.

Wang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded with great satisfaction. Very good, the original appearance is no longer visible. This is exactly the effect he wanted!

Afterwards, Wang Yan took out the remaining gold ingots one after another, leaving only three unmelted. He worked until late at night before finally finishing the gold melting task. Yingluo was exhausted. She had originally planned to secretly play a game with Wang Yan after finishing, but now she could barely stand.

Wang Yan put all the gold coins into the system warehouse, stepped forward to support the swaying fox, gently stroked her fox ears, and put one hand around her slender waist. Yingluo felt ticklish from the touch, and her big tail swayed from side to side involuntarily. She squinted her eyes and the corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted slightly.

"Okay, thank you, Yingluo, you've worked hard."

As he spoke, Wang Yan gently touched the corner of Yingluo's mouth. The big fox's lips curled up even higher, her face full of sweetness. She grabbed Wang Yan's collar, stood on tiptoe, and returned the kiss. However, this girl was a bit fierce and the kissing went on and on.

After a long while, Yingluo slowly withdrew her pink tongue from Wang Yan's lips, her face as red as a juicy peach. She hooked her arms around Wang Yan's neck. Although she didn't have much strength left, Wang Yan did!

"Wang Yan, come with me, I need your help with something..."

After a hidden CG scene, the two were exhausted and went back to sleep, enjoying a good night's rest.

Merchants typically return only twice a year, once in early spring and once near the end of winter. After about three or four days, a loud whale call rang out, and everyone knew that Little Bell had returned. So, without even waiting for Wang Yan's instructions, they all took out the goods they wanted to exchange.

When the cloud whale's fin touched the edge of the cliff again, everyone had already prepared the goods to be sold. Little Bell adjusted her aviator sunglasses, still dressed like a nouveau riche, with a big gold chain and small jade bracelets, all that was missing was a mouthful of gold teeth.

"Hey, my customers, congratulations on surviving another winter."

Those large eyes behind the sunglasses glanced playfully around the crowd, and when they saw the piles of goods behind them, they were genuinely surprised and said with great interest:

"This deal seems to be quite big. What do you say, boss?"

Little Bell looked at Wang Yan and said with one hand on her hip.

Wang Yan was taken aback, realizing he hadn't fallen for Xiao Lingdang's trick, and quickly waved his hand, saying:

"No, no, no, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the head of the household; it's Sister Zhuohua who is."

Upon hearing this, Little Bell suddenly realized what was happening. She lightly tapped her head twice with her little fists and said apologetically:

"Oh dear, look at my eyesight! I really should replace this mirror with prescription glasses. Sister Zhuohua, you've released so much stock to sell this time; it seems like things have gotten a bit better lately!"
