Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 72 The Deal (Bonus Chapter)

Seeing the jade gambling scene, Yuan Changqing realized that it was very similar to the jade gambling scenes he had seen in videos in his previous life. Although he had not seen it in person in his previous life, he had seen it in videos, just not as directly.

Upon seeing this rough stone, Yuan Changqing thought of the special function of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which was practically a golden finger for treasure hunting, capable of detecting whether the contents of the stone were valuable.

...

After seeing everything, Yuan Changqing then had the waiter lead the three of them to look around other places.

After a day of sightseeing and visiting many places, Yuan Changqing paid the shopkeeper one gold soul coin.

Upon seeing that it was a gold soul coin, the shopkeeper said, "Soul Master, I don't have change, could you perhaps..."

Yuan Changqing added, "There's plenty of reward for you, and it's also to thank you for your kind reminder today. Alright, just come back here and wait for us tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the waiter's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Soul Master, I will definitely be here on time tomorrow. Thank you, Soul Master."

Another night passed, and the next morning, the waiter arrived early in front of the hotel to wait for Yuan Changqing and his two companions. As soon as the three of them came out of the hotel, he rushed forward.

The waiter asked, "Three Soul Masters, do you have anywhere to go today?"

After a day of investigation, Yuan Changqing had a general understanding of the situation of these ores. Generally, ores with high consumption are traded in large quantities, and the prices are relatively transparent.

Those rarer and more precious ores are more expensive. Yuan Changqing plans to visit larger ores shops because they have a wider variety of ores.

Yuan Changqing said, "Let's go to a larger ore trading shop."

The waiter replied, "Alright, please follow me, three Soul Masters."

Following the guide, we arrived at a rather luxuriously decorated shop. Inside, the shelves were filled with all sorts of mineral samples. Upon seeing us arrive, the shop assistant quickly came forward to greet us.

The shop assistant said, "Gentlemen, do you know what kind of ore you need? I'd like to introduce it to you."

Yuan Changqing said, "Let's take a look first. Could you please introduce the ores here to us? But, are all the ores in your shop here?"

The shop assistant said, "Gentlemen, if you need common minerals, we have most of them here. If you need something more precious, then you'll have to ask the boss."

Nodding, Yuan Changqing said, "Alright, then please introduce these ores to us first."

Afterwards, the shop assistant led Yuan Changqing and the others to introduce the local ores, explaining in detail the functions, characteristics, uses, and so on of various ores.

Yuan Changqing had seen the various uses of these ores, and then took out a slip of paper and handed the items he needed to the shop assistant.

Yuan Changqing said, "I've written down everything I need on a piece of paper. Go ask your boss if you have it here."

When the shop assistant saw the ore listed on the note, his eyes widened. He knew this was a big deal; the profit margin on these ores was much higher than that of ordinary ores.

The shop assistant hurriedly said, "Distinguished guests, please come with me to the side and have a cup of tea. I'll go find my boss right away and ask him to come and talk to you."

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the shop assistant led the shop owner over. Upon seeing Yuan Changqing and his companions, the shop assistant quickly stepped forward to greet them.

The shop owner said, "Greetings, esteemed guests! It's an honor to have you grace our humble establishment with your presence! May I ask your honorable names?"

Yuan Changqing wasn't one to refuse a smiling face, so he said politely, "Boss, hello there too. My surname is Yuan. I wonder if you have the items I need listed on the note in your shop? If you do, I'll trade them all with you. If not, I won't delay your business."

The shop owner hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, thank you for your patronage, Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Changqing was also pleased and said, "Then let's discuss the price."

The shop owner continued, "Mr. Yuan, let me be honest with you. We only have a portion of what you need. If you're not in a hurry, I can discuss with other mine owners and help you gather the rest, but it will take some time."

After hearing what the shop owner said, Yuan Changqing thought for a moment and said, "I wonder how long it will take. If it takes too long, that won't do. We can't stay in Gengjin City for too long."

The shop owner said, "It will take at most a few days, and I can't guarantee that I can find them all, because some of the ores you need are very rare and hard to find."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Then take a look at what you found and mark the ones you can't find. I'm going to stay in Gengjin City for a few days anyway, so I'll take the time to explore and see if I can run into them."

Then, the shop owner took the slip of paper, quickly marked out the particularly rare minerals, wrote them down, and handed them to Yuan Changqing.

Yuan Changqing glanced at it and said, "Alright, boss, you need to raise the money as soon as possible. Also, let's agree on the price first to avoid any disputes later on."

The shop owner said, "Alright, Mr. Yuan, let's discuss the price first."

Afterwards, the unrelated people left, and Yuan Changqing also left after negotiating the price with the boss.

Before leaving the shop, Yuan Changqing asked again, "Boss, do you know where these rarer ores might be found?"

The shop owner thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Yuan, why don't you go to the auction house? They sometimes auction off rarer ores."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for letting me know, boss. Please help me gather those things as soon as possible."

After that, Yuan Changqing had no intention of going to explore Gengjin City again. He paid the money, sent the guide away, and told him to wait for him in front of the hotel the next day. Then he returned to the hotel with Catherine and Wang Yuyan.

...

Since most of the things he needed to find had been located, Yuan Changqing was no longer in a hurry to search. In the following days, he spent his time looking around Gengjin City to see if he could find them.

As for when the auction house will hold an auction, I asked the clerk to inquire and let me know as soon as I have any news.

Then, Yuan Changqing led Catherine and Wang Yuyan to experience the local customs and culture of Gengjin City, as well as its delicious food.

A few days later, good news arrived. The shopkeeper had found out that an auction would be held in the next few days. Yuan Changqing tried to get an invitation to the auction and planned to go and see if there was anything he needed to bid on.
