A list of data appeared before Wang Yan's eyes. He only glanced at it briefly, but he already had a basic understanding of the woman in front of him.

Adhering to the principle of saying as little as possible, Wang Yan concealed his face with a wide black robe, making it impossible to see what kind of face was beneath the cloak. He reached into the robe and rummaged around for a while, actually retrieving items from the system's inventory. Soon, a gleaming gold coin appeared in Wang Yan's hand.

He lowered his voice, trying to make it as indistinct as possible:

"Can I accept this?"

When Lan Yue saw Wang Yan take out such a large lump of gold, her breath even stopped for a moment. She only reacted when Wang Yan's deep voice rang out.

However, as someone who deals with precious jewelry year-round, Lan Yue didn't show much loss of composure. She quickly regained her composure and said with utmost respect:

"Honorable guest, our jewelry store can certainly accept your goods. But let me ask you first, your goods... are not limited to these, right?"

Wang Yan nodded silently, confirming her words, then paused before speaking:

"Just two pieces, both the same size."

The woman pursed her lips after hearing this. "It costs two pieces of gold in total."

"Sir, please wait a moment. Since this involves the buying and selling of gold, I need to have my father receive you."

"As soon as possible."

With Wang Yan's permission, Lan Yue quickly went up to the second floor. Less than two minutes later, a lean middle-aged man followed her out. The middle-aged man was very enthusiastic. He exchanged pleasantries with Wang Yan and then offered to lead her upstairs for a detailed discussion.

"Hello, hello, I'm the owner of the jewelry store. You can call me Mr. Lan. My daughter just told me that you have a large order, and I'd like to discuss it with you in detail. Please!"

Wang Yan glanced at him briefly and didn't say much. He simply pulled on the chain in his hand and walked up in front of him. Lan Shan was also a shrewd person. He understood that Wang Yan's attire meant he wanted to conceal his identity, so he didn't try to find out more about Wang Yan's identity, lest he offend the other party.

These kinds of people usually sell shady goods, so you have to be careful.

Upon reaching the second floor, Lan Shan led Wang Yan to the desk in the study and sat down. Wang Yan didn't waste any time and directly took out the two gold ingots. When Lan Shan saw the gleaming gold ingots in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp.

This item is too valuable, so Wang Yan doesn't plan to sell too many to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

He pulled a dark stone from under the table, placed it on the table, put on a pair of glasses, picked up a piece of gold to examine its color, and then asked Wang Yan:

"Sir, would you mind if I gave it a try?"

Wang Yan did not refuse and squeezed out a "hmm" from his nose. After obtaining Wang Yan's approval, Na Lanshan directly took the gold and scratched a line on the touchstone. Sure enough, a golden mark was left.

"So pure!"

Wang Yan spoke up at that very moment:

"How much silver should I exchange for these?"

Lanshan gently placed it down, and seeing that Wang Yan was interested in the transaction, he began to discuss the price:

"The gold-silver exchange rate is one gold for one hundred silver. If you'd like to exchange, our jewelry store only takes a 10% cut, so one gold will get you ninety silver. What do you think?"

Wang Yan nodded slowly. The price was still within a reasonable range, so he said:

"Okay, let's change it now."

Lanshan didn't dare to delay any longer and weighed the five gold nuggets for Wang Yan. Each of them weighed a standard 500 grams, which was equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver. After deducting a 10% commission, the final transaction price was 9,000 taels of silver.

The trade system in the lower and middle classes of the Wall Abyss was somewhat chaotic. Since there was no clear monetary system, people mainly used silver. Generally, silver was divided into very small pieces, weighing about 10 grams, which was the "1 silver" in the transaction.

However, given the unique terrain and extremely difficult transportation in the Abyss, the actual purchasing power is somewhat reduced, resulting in the little beast girls being able to exchange 1 silver for only one potato.

Lanshan didn't keep Wang Yan waiting long. After a while, Lanyue came up from downstairs and whispered a few words in Lanshan's ear. Only then did Lanshan say:

"A total of nine thousand taels of silver has been prepared for you, sir. Please follow me."

Wang Yan nodded slowly and followed the two downstairs. At this moment, a small wooden box was lying quietly on the front desk. Wang Yan reached out and opened it. Thousands of silver coins were neatly stacked. He only glanced at it, and after confirming that it was accurate, he put the wooden box into the warehouse with a thought.

Upon seeing Wang Yan's handwriting, Lan Shan was slightly taken aback, lowered his head even further, and dared not say anything more. Wang Yan's purpose in coming here was to exchange silver. Now that the matter was settled, there was no need for him to stay here any longer. So he turned around and pulled Yingluo out of the jewelry pavilion.

Wang Yan dragged Yingluo's body again, walking through some dark alleys and turning several corners before finally taking off the cloak and removing Yingluo's collar.

However, when Wang Yan saw Yingluo's expression, he couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly are you disappointed about?"

After her collar was removed, Yingluo's fox ears drooped, and she whispered something in Wang Yan's ear:

"Master...can you put it on me again tonight...?"

Wang Yan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. This brat... she must have unlocked some kind of special fetish!

Ignoring her further, he raised his sleeve to wipe the big fox's face, then led her out. Now that he had money, he naturally wanted to buy a batch of goods to take back. The first place he visited was the place that sold Sunflower Tea. After all, if you're going to act, you have to go all the way. Although Wang Yan didn't lack Secret Spirit Sunflowers, it was still okay to go in and take a look.

As the two inquired, they soon learned that there was only one place in Anju City that sold Xu Ri Tea, in a corner of the inner city, a place called "Fried Tofu Tea House".

The fried tofu teahouse was located in a rather remote area. It took them a while to find the entrance. The two slowly opened the door. There weren't many customers inside, just a few scattered people sitting on the tatami mats drinking tea and chatting. They all had pointed ears and big tails, and if you didn't know better, you would think you had stumbled upon a fox den.

Upon hearing the door open, the manager of the teahouse came to greet her. She was a tall, voluptuous black fox with long, earthy-yellow hair tied up in front of her. Her yellow fox tail with white tips swayed playfully, and she held a pipe in her hand. Her movements were so graceful that it was hard to look away.

The woman's lips glistened with moisture, and her voice, once uttered, was so alluring it was almost sickeningly sweet, as if every syllable was stirring Wang Yan's very soul.

"Oh my, welcome to the fried tofu tea house! What would you like to drink?"
