Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

A moment later, feeling a little embarrassed by Chu Sheng's intense gaze, Cai Ningning adjusted her glasses and said:

"Brother Chu, this is in good condition; it could sell for 1000-2000."

"It's a pity it's not the S version. If it were the S version, it would be worth a lot of money."

Chu Sheng chuckled. He never expected to find such a treasure in his lifetime. He thanked him.

The landlady also laughed and said:

"No, no, no!"

"Little Chu, you're destined to make a fortune!"

"Aunt Cao, Ningning," Chu Sheng forced a smile, "I'll treat you to West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce when I sell them someday."

Cai Ningning quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need, Brother Chu, I just happened to be taking a look..."

"You're welcome." Chu Sheng clutched the Yuan Datou in his hand, turned around lightly and went back to his room, casually asking:

How much is the S version worth?

After thinking for a moment, Cai Ningning gave a relatively conservative price: "Around 35."

35?

Chu Sheng was stunned, and in his heart he exclaimed, "Damn it, a silver dollar is worth so much!"

He casually pushed open the door, just as the landlady happened to walk in.

In an instant, there was a pile of toilet paper on the floor, and the air was filled with the lingering smell of hormones.

The slap made her delicate cheeks immediately turn red.

It was unclear whether he was praising Chu Sheng or making fun of him, but he laughed.

"Hey, young man, you're in pretty good shape."

"Remember to take good care of yourself."

"Otherwise, if my good-for-nothing husband passes away early when I'm old, that would be terrible."

Chu Sheng blushed upon hearing this and quickly closed the door. Then, a burst of giggles came from outside.

After the laughter subsided, he quickly swept the floor.

Then, imitating Cai Ningning's earlier actions, he blew hard on the Yuan Shikai silver dollar.

The silver coin emitted a crisp buzzing sound once again.

It was as if the path of silver dollars had opened the door to wealth for Chu Sheng.

He immediately searched for information about Yuan Shikai silver dollars on Baidu.

To my utter surprise, there was an unexpected delight.

With the rise in prices in recent years.

The S-version Yuan Shikai silver dollar has risen to nearly 400,000 yuan.

He scratched his head, seething with hatred.

"If I had known, I would have gone to the trouble of getting a pirated Yuan Shikai silver dollar."

"Just got back, where did you go...?"

At this point, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

I remember there's a second-hand trading platform on the company app.

It's filled with all sorts of things.

Maybe I can even manage to get one myself.

Just do it.

Chu Sheng clicked on the "Tiandao Media" APP with the black and white Tai Chi icon.

At the bottom of the interface, which is so simple it's almost rudimentary, I found the entry point for "Secondhand Trading".

Upon entering, the interface style changes drastically.

It's no longer the neat and uniform shelf-style display of a shopping mall, but more like an old-fashioned forum.

The posts are arranged by publication time, and the titles are varied:

"【For Sale】Handwritten copy of 'Five Thunder Orthodox Method - Fragment,' only the first three parts available. 100 merit points or equivalent gold value. Authenticity guaranteed!"

"【Looking to buy】Three Vengeful Spirit Crystals, condition doesn't matter, price M if you have any, urgent!"

"Exchange [Jumang Star Energy Battery Blueprint] for a protective magic item blueprint of equal value."

……

Chu Sheng was dazzled by what he saw.

The "currency" here is clearly more diverse, including merit points, gold, and barter.

Some posts even request specific resources or help in the real world.

He tried entering "Yuan Shikai silver dollar" and "silver coin" into the search bar, but very few results appeared, and they were all purchase requests.

"We collect antiques and rare precious metals from all over the world, including rare metals, antiques, and coins... Fair prices, guaranteed reputation. Contact ID: Yuanhui Dizi"

"Regardless of appearance, only in terms of luck?"

Chu Sheng thought for a moment and realized that the Yuan Shikai silver dollar in his hand was exactly what the other party wanted.

Click on the post by "Prince Yuanhui".

It details the acquisition criteria and approximate price range.

The text doesn't explicitly state that it's acquiring Yuan Shikai silver dollars; instead, it says it's acquiring coins from all dynasties.

His eyes lit up; the Yuan Shikai silver dollar should be considered a coin from the Republic of China era, which met his requirements.

So they contacted the other party via internal messaging.

The description of the coin's features is brief, and a clear photo taken with a mobile phone is attached.

The reply came in less than five minutes.

"Prince Yuanhui: Do you still have the item? If it's convenient, could you 'appraise' it remotely?"

Chu Sheng remembered that the employee handbook mentioned that the company platform operates on a voluntary basis for both parties.

It can provide basic item information exchange and simple identification functions.

However, a very small amount of merit points is required as a "channel maintenance fee".

He chose to agree.

After all, the other party was paying the channel maintenance fee, so he had no reason to refuse.

The next moment, the phone screen became slightly warm, and an invisible light appeared.

But the subtle fluctuations that his spiritual sense could perceive spread from the screen, sweeping across the Yuan Shikai silver dollar in Chu Sheng's hand.

The fluctuations disappeared after about ten seconds.

The phone received another message from the son of Emperor Yuanhui.

"Prince Yuanhui: This silver coin contains a bit of fortune."

Chu Sheng was delighted and asked, "Senior, do you accept?"

"Prince Yuanhui: I'll take it, but... the luck contained in this piece is too low. I can only give you 1 merit point at most!"

One act of merit?

Chu Sheng was speechless. What could one merit be enough to do?

He immediately asked the other party to settle the payment in cash.

"Xiao Fang personally inquired, do you have RMB? USD is fine too!"

"Prince Yuanhui: ????"

"Prince Yuanhui: Kid, the company does not accept international currency transactions."

Chu Sheng was taken aback; it turned out the company had this rule.

He was curious about the use of luck, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly.

He replied very tactfully:

"Xiao Fang personally instructed: I'm sorry, senior, I'm new here and don't know the rules. I don't know what the use of this luck is or how to identify it?"

On the other end of the phone, in an incredibly luxurious, antique palace.

A man dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe with a four-clawed python pattern and wearing a red gold filigree crown.

He was leaning against a soft rosewood couch.

A mirror, like rippling water, hung before him, reflecting the interface through which he conversed with Chu Sheng.

The man had a handsome face and an innate air of imperial nobility. He chuckled.

"Another fledgling, not even knowing how to discern destiny."

He pondered for a moment, then smiled.

"Never mind, never mind, let's just make a good connection with him and invest a little."

He found a piece of paper and wrote some small characters on it with swift, flowing strokes.

After writing it down, he lifted his fingertip, and the paper filled with small characters floated up and fell into the round mirror on its own, disappearing from sight.

Chu Sheng waited in front of his phone for a long time, but there was no movement from the son of Emperor Yuanhui.

They thought the other person was criticizing their cooking skills.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw an ancient piece of paper slowly float out of my phone.

It landed squarely in front of me.

At the same time, a line of small text appeared on the phone:

"Prince Yuanhui: This is the art of observing qi, a minor technique. You can use this method to observe the fortune of your treasures."

"Prince Yuanhui: If you ever come across any items of great fortune in the future, remember to trade with me first."

Chu Sheng was taken aback, not expecting this Prince Yuanhui to be so generous.

A minor skill was given away for free.

My heart warmed, but I still remained cautious.

I opened the product page and searched for it.

It was discovered that this aura-gazing technique is worth 3 merit points.

Thinking about it this way, the other party is simply trying to show goodwill in advance and do long-term business.

Having understood the other party's meaning, Chu Sheng expressed his gratitude again, traded the Yuan Shikai silver dollar to the other party, and added him as a friend.
