The safe was deformed, so naturally the contents inside wouldn't be intact.

The neatly stacked stacks of US dollars were now scattered, and some important contract documents had become tattered scraps of paper.

Wei Qingzhou, who regarded money as dirt, disdained all of these things.

His gaze was completely drawn to the rows of golden strips.

bullion!

There were at least a dozen of them, lying haphazardly inside the safe.

Wei Qingzhou reached into the safe and took out a gold bar.

It has a steel stamp engraved on it, weighs 500 grams, and is made of pure gold.

Based on the current market gold price, this one alone is worth 40!

Ten sticks for 400 million!

The boy, who had once returned lost money, couldn't help but swallow hard.

He's never handled so much money in his entire life!

When I was little, my dad would give me a single banknote to buy cigarettes and alcohol, which was already a huge sum of money.

As he grew up, with the popularization and prevalence of online payments, he had less and less contact with cash. Money became a string of numbers, and it lost its tangible meaning.

But why does it feel unreal? Because there are too few zeros after the numbers!

Wei Qingzhou, who only graduated from high school, never owned more than 10,000 yuan.

And before they could even settle in, they had to pay rent and tuition.

Now, a huge sum of millions of dollars is placed in front of him, and it's even in gold.

The boy's heart pounded.

"Calm down, calm down."

"It's just money."

"You need to understand, you are the only extraordinary being in the real world. As long as you are powerful enough, money is just a string of numbers; you can have as much as you want!"

Wei Qingzhou put away the hot-rolled steel coil, patted his face, and the heat in his body gradually subsided, making him calm and indifferent again.

"Thank you to the steel mill owner for his generosity."

"Although you are probably dead and these things are ownerless, I am still very grateful."

He bowed respectfully with his hands clasped together towards the boss's chair, then calmly took the gold bars out of the safe, stuffed them into his system space, and prepared to turn and leave the office.

Before leaving, Wei Qingzhou caught a glimpse of the photos on the large desk out of the corner of his eye.

Inside was a middle-aged man wearing a striped shirt, one hand supporting a golf club, with a curvaceous "caddie" leaning against him on the left, and a neatly trimmed lawn in the background.

Without a doubt, the man in the photo is most likely the owner of this steel mill.

His appearance is somewhat familiar.

I remember now!

On the day he smashed "Manager Zheng's" head, a group of horseflies tried to suck his blood, but he smashed them all into mincemeat with hot-rolled steel coils.

One of them was a human-headed horsefly that looked exactly like the man in the photo.

"..."

The boy sighed and said with emotion, "Alas, so you had already fallen victim to evil. It's alright, I've already avenged you. We're even now, there's no karmic debt between us."

"..."

"Even if that gadfly is you, your sanity has plummeted to 0%, you've become mutated and aberrant, and you're forever plunged into the abyss. You're no longer yourself. Killing you is like freeing you from this predicament."

"No matter how you look at it, I've done you a favor, so consider the gold bars as a token of my gratitude. No need to thank me further."

Thinking about it this way, Wei Qingzhou felt more at ease taking the gold bars.

In the following days, he did the same thing, visiting the offices of all the company owners in the industrial park.

Some contained only confidential business documents, some had no gold bars but only cash, some had deposit certificates from overseas banks, and some had a safe filled with gold bars.

But no matter what kind of safe it was, it couldn't withstand Wei Qingzhou's smashing.

After looting, Wei Qingzhou piled all the gold onto an industrial scale to weigh it.

There are more than seventy gold bars weighing 500 grams each, hundreds of gold bars weighing 300 grams each, plus miscellaneous gold necklaces, gold rings, and gold bracelets, with a gross weight of nearly 300 kilograms.

This is just gold, not including other jewelry.

He wasn't originally planning to bring jewelry or necklaces because they wouldn't sell well.

But when I saw that the diamonds on it were big and sparkling, and the craftsmanship was exquisite, it was indeed beautiful. I thought that even if I didn't sell it, I could give it to my mother.

Wei Qingzhou considered whether wearing a jewelry necklace would be too flashy, but then thought it wouldn't be a big problem.

In this world, rich people wear counterfeit goods and everyone thinks they're real, while poor people wear genuine goods and everyone thinks they're fake.

Besides, his mother couldn't possibly actually wear it out.

I'm very happy to keep it at home and occasionally take it out to admire it.

Wei Qingzhou's gaze returned to the industrial scale.

Golden bars, piled up like a "mountain".

Three hundred kilograms of gold.

At the market price of 800 per gram, that's 240 million!

Inhale...

Exhale—

"Two hundred million is nothing. The big bosses in the industrial zone are all worth over a hundred million. The richest man in the country has a net worth of several hundred billion, and the world's richest man, Elon Musk, has assets exceeding one trillion dollars, reaching the highest level in human history."

"Gold is just a bunch of precious metals, and money is just a string of numbers."

Wei Qingzhou took a few deep breaths to calm his excited and surging emotions.

But on second thought, power is always greater than money.

When it comes to money, who can match Musk's?

But even if Musk is rich, can he withstand a 30-ton steel coil flying towards him at supersonic speed?

Obviously not.

Even the two richest men in the world would have to greet a human who can throw a steel coil at supersonic speed with his bare hands with a smile and use his social skills and personal charm to befriend him.

Of course, this is on the premise that the limitations of this ability are not known.

"Two hundred and forty million. My dad works as a steel bar tying worker on a construction site. He earns ten thousand yuan a month, or one hundred and twenty thousand a year. It would take him two thousand years to earn that amount."

Two thousand years ago, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was in power.

"People live in the same world, yet they are not people from the same world."

With a slight thought, Wei Qingzhou stored all the gold on the scale into his system space.

Of course, 200 million is just a converted figure. He couldn't possibly throw all 300 kilograms of gold into the market at once; otherwise, he would only get invited for tea by Uncle Hat.

We have to sell them slowly, in batches, and in different cities.

This money is definitely enough for him to order custom steel coils, and there might even be some left over, it's just that gold is relatively slow to convert into cash.

So he has another backup plan – sports lottery!

He already knows the score of every match in the 2026 World Cup, including who will ultimately win.

Once you return to your original world, you can go to the lottery shop to buy tickets.

"The money problem is considered solved."

After collecting all the gold bars, Wei Qingzhou was momentarily dazed.

Right after graduating from high school, he suddenly became the richest person in his class.

Before graduating, Mingming had also experienced anxiety, feeling that making money was too difficult, and briefly felt lost, unsure of what major to choose or what job to pursue.

Even after learning that he had been recommended to a 985 university, he was not complacent or smug.

Because he knew that every year, many students from prestigious universities like 985 and 211 graduate from Xia Kingdom.

This land has no shortage of students who excel at exams.

Getting high scores on tests doesn't mean you can make money.

But now, he is financially independent, having earned in just a few days what an ordinary person could not earn in ten lifetimes.
