In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

In the end, Su Mo only picked up valuable treasures. Some antiques worth a few thousand or even ten thousand yuan were simply thrown away as trash to save them from taking up system space.

Therefore, the antiques that Su Mo left in the system space are all top-quality items, each of which is extremely valuable.

"what…"

The fat man was overwhelmed with happiness, an emotion he had never experienced before, and for a moment he was so immersed in it that he couldn't pull himself out. "All of this is ours?"

"Yes!"

Su Mo said definitively, "These are all ours!"

Su Mo emphasized the word "we" with extra force. From the Savage Valley to the Kunlun Glacier and then to the Gobi Desert, Su Mo, Lao Hu, and Fatty had experienced life and death many times. This was a friendship forged through thick and thin.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door downstairs. Su Mo, Lao Hu, and Fatty exchanged glances.

"Who?"

Old Hu was a little uncertain, "Is it Yingzi who's back?"

"Master Su..."

Just then, a voice called out from downstairs, "Uncle Hu, is that you?"

Big gold teeth?

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the fat man cursed, "Pah, that gold tooth! I thought some heartless bastard was trying to steal our treasure!"

"go…"

Su Mo said to the fat man, "Go and bring Big Gold Tooth up here, I have something to say to him..."

The fat man nodded and went downstairs.

A short while later, Big Gold Tooth came up. "Master Su, the back view of you guys just now looked like you. I didn't expect you to actually come back. You should have told me..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and upon seeing the glittering gold coins and various antiques on the second floor, Big Gold Tooth was stunned.

"Oh my god!"

Big Gold Tooth exclaimed, "Gentlemen, how many ancient tombs have you dug up?"

At this moment, Big Gold Tooth's gaze towards Su Mo and the others changed, filled with envy. Fatty was secretly thrilled. "Big Gold Tooth, look at what you're saying! Do you know how the brothers have been through this journey..."

The fat man started playing the victim, "We've been through so much on this journey, sleeping in the open, exposed to the wind and sun, constantly going from cold to hot, it's been exhausting..."

The fat man's face seemed to have "smugness" etched on it, and Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Alright, alright, Fatty, stop for now. Let me talk to Master Jin about something..."

The fat man scratched his head and grinned.

"Master Su..."

Big Gold Tooth bowed deeply, his posture extremely humble. "Please give me your orders!"

"Master Jin..."

Su Mo patted Big Gold Tooth on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to be reserved. "How much do you think these antiques are worth?"

"what?"

Big Gold Tooth was somewhat surprised, not expecting Su Mo to be so blunt. However, having spent many years in the Panjiayuan market, he quickly calmed down, glanced at the various antiques such as gold coins and bronzes on the second floor, and pondered, "Several million... no... tens of millions... ah no..."

Su Mo looked at Big Gold Tooth with a smile.

Big Gold Tooth has been like a cat's scratch to him since he was a child, and he has never been as "cautious" as he is today.

"Master Su..."

Big Gold Tooth grimaced, "Please stop torturing me. Many of these are priceless treasures; how could I possibly estimate their value so easily!"

"Ha ha…"

Su Mo laughed loudly, "Alright then, Mr. Jin, take some antiques out. Exchange them for one million in cash for each of my two older brothers, so they can spend it first!"

One million, and I'll give you back your pocket money!

The fat man's legs buckled, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Fatty..."

Old Hu quickly helped the fat man up, "Don't...don't embarrass Brother Su!"

"Old Hu, how dare you talk to me like that? You can even hear the change in your tone of voice!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Big Gold Tooth was overjoyed. You see, there's a rule in the antique business that if he helps contact clients, he can get a commission (brokerage fee).

"Got it!"

Big Gold Tooth readily agreed, "Master Su, don't worry about it, leave it to me..."

"Let's go, let's go..."

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, let's go out to eat at Quanjude in Yanjing, it's on me!"

.........

At the dinner table, everyone toasted and drank, having a great time.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone was having a good time and talking about life. When the topic turned to the Tomb Raider Talisman given by Big Gold Tooth, Fatty and Old Hu got really angry.

It is said in the martial arts world that the tomb raiders' talismans have the power to ward off evil spirits, and the two of them always carry them when they go into tombs.

Can result...

Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), ghosts, little ghosts, hallucinations—well, all sorts of strange things happen to the two brothers.

Big Gold Tooth apologized profusely, and only then did Old Hu and Fatty let him go.

When the topic turned to the future, Big Gold Tooth asked, "Fatty, Hu, what are your plans for the future?"

Big Gold Tooth didn't mention Su Mo, after all, the Su family was once a prominent family in Panjiayuan, with a large and wealthy background, far beyond what Hu and Wang could compare to.

"future?"

After hearing Big Gold Tooth's words, Old Hu pondered for a moment and said, "This tomb raiding experience has been quite profound. To be honest, I really don't want to go back to tomb raiding; it's just too dangerous..."

"Brother Jin, to be honest, the reason why Fatty and I are still able to sit down and drink and chat with you this time is all thanks to Brother Su. Without Brother Su, we brothers would probably have died in the Jingjue Ancient City long ago!"

Ghost cave, vengeful spirits, spider lilies!

Thinking back on all the mess he'd encountered along the way, Lao Hu still felt a bit scared. Going into tombs was out of necessity, but now that he had money, he wanted to enjoy life.

"it is good…"

Su Mo picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth. Hearing Lao Hu's words, he also said, "In that case, Lao Hu, Fatty, you two can sell antiques for me at my shop, and we'll split the profits..."

As he spoke, Su Mo looked at Big Gold Tooth and extended an olive branch, "Brother Gold, how about we team up to create a brand and become the biggest antique dealer in Beijing and even China? Are you interested in doing it together?"

Big Gold Tooth narrowed his eyes, "Master Su, you truly live up to your college student reputation. You're daring and willing to fight. To tell you the truth, I've always wanted to take on the biggest antique dealer in China since I was a kid, but alas, I don't have the strength!"

Big Gold Tooth raised his glass. "Master Su, I, Big Gold Tooth, will remember what you said today. In the future, let's join forces and become the biggest antique dealer in China!"

Su Mo raised his glass and clinked it with Big Gold Tooth's.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"Target: Yanjing! No, the largest antique dealer in China!"

The fat man also raised his glass. "Brother Su, let's get rich!"

Chapter 42: Xie Jinchuan, Zhang Ergou, and the Xie Family

The warm sunlight shone into the campus of Yenching University, casting dappled shadows on the trees.

A refreshing breeze swept across the playground, where a group of teenagers in white sports uniforms ran and played, their laughter occasionally breaking the silence.

[Wang Muying, archaeology student, your brother is waiting for you at the academic affairs office...]

[Wang Muying, archaeology student, your brother is waiting for you at the academic affairs office...]

The clear broadcast echoed throughout the campus. A woman who was studying in the classroom heard the broadcast and her heart pounded. She hurriedly ran outside.

.........

At the entrance of the Academic Affairs Office of Yenching University, Su Mo, who had been waiting for someone but no one showed up, was puzzled. "The announcement has been made for half an hour, why hasn't Yingzi appeared yet? Did she go out?"

“Su…”

Just then, not far from the school administration office, a young woman was waving to Su Mo in the setting sun.

Su Mo looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yingzi wearing a light green dress with light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs. She turned her body slightly and the dress spread out, her every move as graceful as a willow swaying in the wind.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, she exuded a lively and intelligent aura.

Su Mo clicked her tongue in amazement, "You've grown taller, your skin has turned whiter, your hair has grown back, and you're prettier than before..."

Yingzi gazed at Su Mo, her eyes as clear as crystals submerged in water, the pure pupils and gentle eye shape blending together in a wonderfully beautiful way.

“Su Mo…”

Yingzi's voice was as clear as a lark's, and her eyes revealed a hint of joy.

Su Mo tapped Yingzi on the head and chuckled, "I'm your brother Su!"

"What, Brother Su..."

Yingzi pouted, "You're only four years older than me!"

"Then I'm your Brother Su too!"

Yingzi clearly didn't want to continue this topic with Su Mo. She affectionately took Su Mo's hand and asked, "Why haven't I seen Brother Hu and Brother Pang?"

"Them!"

Su Mo smiled gently. "I had them pick out a few courtyard houses near the Forbidden City, and we're planning to acquire them in a few days..."

Since he wanted to become the largest antique dealer in China, his storefront had to be impressive. Su Mo planned to go directly to the Forbidden City and buy a few restricted vacant lots.

In the future, whether it's land, real estate, or the antique market, every single one of them will be a highly profitable industry with guaranteed profits!

Yingzi exclaimed in surprise, "It seems you've made quite a bit of money again this time..."

Su Mo flipped his palm over. "At least this amount!"

Yingzi opened her mouth wide, "Five hundred thousand!"
