"When we say this..." The couple concluded that Zhao Zizhan's unusual behavior over the past two days was because their child was frightened after the accident. To be honest, when they received the call from the hospital in the middle of the night saying that their son had been in a car accident and was in the hospital, their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

The elderly couple rushed to the hospital and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhao Zizhan in the hospital bed.

The doctor said that Zhao Zizhan had no external injuries and had probably fainted from fright nearby. After checking him over and finding no problems, the doctor sent Zhao Zizhan home.

For the past two days, Zhao's mother has been constantly nagging. The unlucky driver didn't drive properly, not only killing himself but also scaring his own son into a state of mental paralysis.

Having finally endured some quality time with his child, Zhao Zizhan lay in bed, his mind racing with plans.

I've figured out how to resolve the crisis here, but what about the other side?

Rhodes Island doesn't support idlers; even children have to work. Especially after talking with Raidian, he learned that it was now 1094, and Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Company had just been established, so everything was in need of rebuilding.

At this time, Rhodes Island didn't have that hardcore player who could eat instant noodles with boiling water in his mouth, so the situation wasn't actually very optimistic.

The market needs to be expanded, the brand has not yet gained recognition, the operators' identities have not been cleared, there is a shortage of manpower, and everyone is relying on Kal'tsit's treasury to survive.

The operators inside are basically doing the work of two people, and the vast majority of them have to go out on field missions to fight the thugs.

With my current physical condition, I'm like a stray dog ​​in front of these Terran superheroes; I might get kicked to death at any moment if someone isn't looking.

We need to find a way to escape the battle formation.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zizhan got up, turned around and came back to Rhodes Island. It was already late at night, but Rhodes Island was still operating.

When Zhao Zizhan arrived at the logistics department, Raidian was still extremely busy. She had spent a lot of time receiving Zhao Zizhan and needed to work overtime to finish her tasks.

Upon noticing the newcomer, Raidian turned and saw Zhao Zizhan, a gentle smile spreading across his face: "Oh dear, Zizhan, what are you doing here? Can't you sleep?"

"Sister Raidian..." Having just left the warm embrace of her biological mother, she entered the warm embrace of another mother. In one fell swoop, she was transformed into Zhao Zizhan, a Yasuo player, into Wa's junior.

"Actually, I noticed you were so busy, and you looked very troubled. What's bothering you, sister?"

Hearing Zhao Zizhan's caring words, Raidian smiled and patted his head: "Wow, thank you, our little Zizhan. I'm so happy that you're thinking of your sister. But right now, little Zizhan's biggest task is to sleep well and grow strong!"

Zhao Zizhan never expected that his youthful body would become an obstacle to his progress.

When one plan failed, Zhao Zizhan tried another: "Sister Raidian, I'm really worried about you. Is there anything I can do for you? Maybe if I help you with something, you'll be tired and able to fall asleep."

"Oh dear, you're so cunning." Despite her complaints, Raidian had a smile on her face: "Alright, alright, I give up. You can help me take stock of the warehouse inventory, can you even count?"

"Of course, what's so difficult about that?" Zhao Zizhan felt that this mother was underestimating the child a bit. Who can't even count?

"That's great, please, Zizhan," Raidian said with a sigh of relief.

Zhao Zizhan went to the other end of the shelf and began to count the items.

"Hmm... sixteen cases of tumour milk, 30 large bottles per case, and if each bottle is 1.5 liters, that's... 720 liters."

"And meat... such a quantity..."

Zhao Zizhan frowned as he looked at the calculated number.

"What's wrong? Zizhan, is there some difficulty?" Seeing Zhao Zizhan's troubled expression, Raidian came over to inquire about the situation.

“No…” Zhao Zizhan shook his head.

"Raidian, based on the data I've calculated so far, are we running a bit short of supplies?"

Upon hearing Zhao Zizhan's words and taking the well-organized notebook from Zhao Zizhan's hand, Raidian's face showed surprise.

Despite being a pharmaceutical company, Rhodes Island has a significant number of illiterate operators with very poor educational backgrounds.

If they were capable of clerical work, they wouldn't have resorted to fighting to the death with weapons.

People like Zhao Zizhan, who have attended university, are definitely high-end talents. At his age of fifteen, many of his peers on the Terra continent can't even read.

Now, this child is able to calculate the inventory quantity in such a short time and even make an estimate of the consumption level?

What a talent!

As is widely known, the safest department on Rhodes Island is the Logistics Department.

The Logistics Department is responsible for the supply of materials to Rhodes Island and some routine affairs. It can be said to be the safest department on Rhodes Island.

Department head Raidian is also a gentle and beautiful mother. If Zhao Zizhan wants to stay in the rear with peace of mind, then the logistics department is definitely the best choice.

However, which department you go to is largely not up to you. It is assigned after the physical examination and personal assessment, which makes it very random. Who knows where you will be assigned? Even the HR department is a battlefield with a lot of people going.

This is clearly not the best option for Zhao Zizhan, who wants to develop steadily.

That's why he came to Raidian specifically to help her and to show his value.

This is called starting work early. Before you were assigned, I had already spoken with the department head and we started working right away. Wow, this is a case of acting first and asking questions later!

However, simply being good at calculations is clearly not reliable. If Zhao Zizhan wants to win the favor of these Rhodes Island operators and get them to fight for him, he needs to become more attractive.

Joining the logistics department was an important step in his plan.

“Sigh, I didn’t expect you to be so capable,” Raidian sighed. “That’s right. After traveling across the ice plains for so many days without resupply, Rhodes Island’s supplies are slowly starting to run low, and I’m worried about that too.”

Zhao Zizhan's eyes lit up: "If I can solve this problem, could Sister Raidian let me work in the logistics department?"

Looking at the arrogant little guy in front of him, Raidian was a bit helpless: "Alright, if Xiao Zizhan can solve this problem, then I'll apply to Kal'tsit to let you work in the logistics department, how about that?"

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhao Zizhan said and turned to leave without another word.

After a short while, he came running back, looking embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to Raidian: "Sister, could you give me a piece of pure gold?"

Chapter Six: The Deal

"Hey, red gold? Wait a minute..."

Raidian turned around, reached into a corner of the warehouse, and pulled out a gold bar: "Here, take this."

Zhao Zizhan was a little stunned when he took the gold bar. "Huh? You just gave it to me like that? This is a high-purity gold bar, why are you treating it like a piece of plastic?"

Raidian's actions rendered Zhao Zizhan, who had prepared a great deal of writing, completely useless.

"Raidian, aren't you going to ask me what I want with the red gold...?"

"What does it have to do with anything?" Raidian tilted his head. "A good kid like you must have your reasons for needing the pure gold. Anyway, it's not for doing anything bad. Would you use it to do something bad?"

Raidian had only met Zhao Zizhan for half a day, and she had already labeled him as a good kid. I don't know what her standards were.

"Of course not, Sister Raidian! Just wait for my good news!"

It's not that I always fall for her tricks, she's just too good at it!

The next day

Zhao Zizhan opened his eyes, and the hardest thing in the world was no longer diamonds.

After having breakfast with his parents and spending a happy family time, Zhao Zizhan stood on the street wearing a baseball cap and carrying a large bag, his hands in his pockets, inside which was a pure gold bar.

After walking around the street, Zhao Zizhan saw a small gold shop. He pulled down the brim of his hat, turned around, opened the door, and went inside.

"Hello, what would you like to see?" the counter clerk asked kindly.

"Do you accept gold?"

"Of course I'll take it. Are you planning to make a move?"

"Then see how much this can sell for," Zhao Zizhan said, taking out the gold bars from his pocket and placing them on the counter.

"Please wait a moment." The clerk took the gold bar, saw the AU and 999.9 markings on the back, turned around and ran to the back room, calling out a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Li, could you please take a look?"

After glancing at Zhao Zizhan, the middle-aged man picked up the gold bar, weighed it, took it to the back workshop, had it burned once, weighed it again, and nodded.

The pure gold bar weighs a standard 200g, or 6.43 ounces. This pure gold is of very high purity, and there is absolutely no problem with it being 24K.

At that time, the price of gold was $450 per ounce. Based on an exchange rate of 8.27, the price of this piece of pure gold was around 23929 yuan.

Of course, the price for this kind of small gold shop acquisition is slightly lower than that of the bank. With the handling fee added, Zhao Zizhan finally received 23,500 yuan.

When it comes to gold acquisition, even banks won't question the origin of the gold if it has an AU mark on it, and small gold shops certainly won't. Every country welcomes its citizens to bring gold back through various means; it's just that many things can't be done openly. For small gold shops, selling in small batches is the safest approach.

As for the AU mark on the red gold, red gold is something that is mined specifically for trade. If it's not marked, how can others know what kind of thing it is and what its purity is? You can't expect people to test it on the spot, can you?

Industrially produced pure gold is much easier to sell than gold of dubious origin.

As for the investigation, it was a small gold shop, and the transactions were all done in cash, so there was no way to investigate.

As for what will happen a few years from now, with the advent of self-service gold ATMs, it will be even more impossible to check. Besides, who would bother to check?

Gold trading is the least likely to be investigated, yet it is also the most likely to withstand scrutiny.

Of course, there are risks involved, but Zhao Zizhan only needs this as his initial capital; he will have other avenues to pursue afterward.

As for asking his parents for money, Zhao Zizhan, who was no different from an orphan in his previous life, had never thought of this, and he didn't know how to explain to his parents what he would do with the money.

With 20,000 yuan in cash in his backpack, Zhao Zizhan felt a surge of excitement.

Twenty-three thousand may not seem like much, but it depends on the era. Twenty-three thousand in 04 was almost equivalent to more than two hundred thousand in later years.

In his previous life, Zhao Zizhan was a poor writer who relied on the website to distribute relief food to make a living. More than 200,000 yuan was indeed a huge sum of money for him.

Poverty is the hardest time to endure.

Feeling the weight in his backpack, Zhao Zizhan felt that the air in Shilan City was much fresher.

He wanted to take out the money and count it, but he remained vigilant, feeling that everyone on the street coveted him. He tightened his bag strap, turned into a small alley, and when he came out again, his backpack had disappeared.

The ability to freely travel between two worlds means that he can use one world as his storage space.

With his burden gone, Zhao Zizhan felt much more relaxed. Looking up at the sky, he felt that the sky was bluer than usual.

But his relief was only temporary.

Leaving aside the fact that Deadpool is facing an imminent crisis and has a whole host of troubles hanging over him, for Zhao Zizhan, simply wanting to live a free and peaceful life is a huge challenge in itself.

The mundane daily routine is a series of repeated miracles.

Neither the Dragon World nor Terra is an ideal society. On one side, aliens crawl on everyone and suck their blood, while on the other side, kings and generals are born with privileges. If you encounter any injustice, you will have difficulty even protecting yourself. You must first have the ability to protect yourself.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zizhan bought a glass bottle of Coke from a roadside convenience store. After finishing the drink in the store, he left the bottle behind, wiped his mouth, and began to plan his next steps.

"First, there's milk... meat, and rice and noodles, oh right, and most importantly, vegetables—those are relatively easy to get... medical supplies, IV sets, bandages, alcohol... that's where the problem lies."

So it's really troublesome not having online shopping... If I were in my previous life, I could just open my phone and buy it, but in this era, I still have to contact people myself.

"Forget it, let's get some food first. We'll figure out how to get medical supplies later."

With that thought in mind, Zhao Zizhan walked toward the nearby vegetable market.

"Master, how much meat do you have here?"

The butcher looked up and saw Zhao Zizhan's expression: "Your family asked you to buy meat? What kind of meat do you want?"

Having been in business for many years, he had encountered countless clueless children like this. But in business, dealing with such difficulties was a daily occurrence. The shop owner patiently inquired about Zhao Zizhan's situation.

"No, no, I'm buying in bulk," Zhao Zizhan said, pulling a wad of cash from his pocket. "Boss, how much meat do you have here? I'll take it all today. Could you please deliver it for me? I'll pay you."

The boss was stunned: "Kid, are you serious?"

"Can you sell it? If not, I'll go ask at other stalls." Zhao Zizhan made a move to leave.

"Sell, sell, sell!" With such a big order coming to our door, only a fool wouldn't sell! It's just meat delivery, who doesn't have a small truck by now!

"Remember to cut it for me, okay?" Zhao Zizhan didn't want these people to be able to tell what kind of animal it was at a glance. It would be different if it were made into chunks of meat. You can just eat it.

"Okay, no problem!" When dealing with a big spender, the boss's attitude can be as good as it gets.

The God of Wealth is the most powerful; whatever people say goes. Even if you cut it into small pieces, or even finely chop it into minced meat, he won't say a word against it.

Chapter Seven: Physical Examination

Next, Zhao Zizhan went on a shopping spree, sweeping through the entire market. He borrowed the butcher's car and paid him twenty yuan for transportation to load everything together.

Zhao Zizhan had bought up all the meat in the butcher shop except for the pig's head, so there was no business for him today. He drove straight to Zhao Zizhan's garage.

Seeing that Zhao Zizhan was just a child, they even helped him unload all his things.

People at that time were still very simple and honest, and they treated each other with a kind of simple kindness.

"Thank you so much, Uncle." Zhao Zizhan counted out a stack of money and handed it over: "Please count it."

"Okay," the boss wiped his hands on his trouser legs, then moistened his fingers with saliva before starting to count the money one bill at a time.

"No problem, boss, here's your change!" The butcher was a man of principle, and he quickly addressed the butcher with respect, then reached for his small leather pouch at his side to take out some money.
