Chapter 28

"He's already having dinner, and it's still four dishes and a soup." Zhou Yue handed her phone to Wang Xiaoru, showing her the photo Lin Fei had sent her.

"It's quite a feast! It looks really delicious," Wang Xiaoru commented.

"How can he cook such a full meal for himself when he's alone at home! Isn't it said that single men are usually very casual with themselves? They either eat out or cook a simple bowl of noodles at home. He's really diligent!" Zhou Yue asked.

"What's wrong! Can't he be more diligent than you!" Wang Xiaoru teased.

"I didn't say that! Forget it, let's not talk about him. I'll go call Lin Ling and the others to have dinner together." Zhou Yue ran out of her office as if escaping.

After enjoying a delicious dinner, Lin Fei sat on the sofa in the living room, closing his eyes to rest. He decided to go out and do something big tonight.

October 1st, 8:10 PM.

A man with a mustache, wearing a baseball cap and black sunglasses, appeared in the West District University Town.

Lin Fei touched the mustache on his lip and looked through his sunglasses at the newly established Cultivator Academy not far away. Although it was the first day of the Golden Week holiday, based on the students coming and going, the Cultivator Academy was not on break.

Lin Fei retracted his gaze and shifted his attention to the spirit stone shops and spirit weapon shops around the Cultivator Academy.

Businessmen are naturally profit-driven. When they learned about the establishment of the Cultivator Academy, they quickly set up various shops around the academy to serve these future cultivators.

Several spirit stone shops had opened in the area. Although the academy provided spirit stones for the students' cultivation, it could not meet all their needs. Therefore, students from well-off families could buy spirit stones from these shops for their cultivation.

Lin Fei chose a shop called Old Wang Spirit Stone Store and walked in.

The shop had three floors, with very elegant interior decoration. There were two saleswomen in qipao inside.

"Welcome! Is there anything you need?" one of the saleswomen greeted him.

Lin Fei glanced at the spirit stones on the shelves, about 500 in total, each cut to the size of a pigeon's egg.

"Do you buy spirit stones? I have some spirit stones I want to sell," Lin Fei said in a low voice to the saleswoman.

"We do buy spirit stones. How many do you want to sell, sir?" the saleswoman smiled.

"1000!" Lin Fei said casually.

"1000?" the saleswoman was shocked.

"Yes!" Lin Fei confirmed.

"Please wait a moment. I'll ask our boss to come and talk to you. Xiao Chen, please take this gentleman to the VIP room," the saleswoman instructed her colleague and hurried upstairs.

Lin Fei followed the other saleswoman in qipao to the VIP room. The so-called VIP room was indeed luxurious, with a completely different style from the outside.

Lin Fei sat on the sofa, drinking the tea provided by the spirit stone shop. After a while, a chubby middle-aged man pushed the door open.

"Hello, I am Wang Wu, the owner of this Old Wang Spirit Stone Store," the man greeted Lin Fei with a smile, extending his right hand.

"Pleased to meet you!" Lin Fei stood up and shook hands with him.

"My employee just told me that you have a large number of spirit stones to sell. May I ask where your spirit stones come from?" Wang Wu probed.

"They are imported from abroad. As you know, the government does not allow spirit stones, a special resource, to be exported. Although the official stance is not to promote imports, everyone knows the reality," Lin Fei explained.

"Indeed, the demand for spirit stones is increasing, and the domestic supply is not enough. Most countries have similar policies," Wang Wu said.

"I only accept cash transactions," Lin Fei stated his requirement.

"I understand. However, with such a large number of spirit stones, the amount of cash will be substantial. Do you need us to deliver it to a specific location?" Wang Wu asked.

"That won't be necessary. I have my own way," Lin Fei replied.

"The price is 47,000 yuan per spirit stone. How does that sound?" Wang Wu said.

"That's 2,000 yuan higher than the official price,"

Although I've heard that the black market price is higher, I'm a good young man and haven't been involved in the black market. Where would I find it? Besides, the black market mainly caters to criminals. I'm a law-abiding citizen and can't get mixed up with them, Lin Fei thought.

"This price is acceptable, but I don't want others to know about my sale of spirit stones," Lin Fei said.

"Don't worry, protecting customer privacy is a principle we must adhere to in business," Wang Wu assured him.

"Alright, do you have that much cash now? If so, let's proceed with the transaction," Lin Fei said.

"I do have the cash, but in business, I need to inspect the goods," Wang Wu requested.

Lin Fei nodded. "That's understandable."

Lin Fei reached out with his right hand, and a 30-pound ore appeared in his hand. He then placed the ore on the table in front of Wang Wu.

"Is it a spatial spirit weapon or a psychic ability?" Wang Wu's thoughts flashed, but he was immediately drawn to the energy ore in front of him. He quickly took out a device that looked like a small flashlight and shone it on the energy ore.

"Beep!" After about ten seconds, the device made a sound. "This energy ore hasn't been used. It's in excellent condition!" Wang Wu said happily.

Lin Fei looked at the device in his hand curiously.

"Ha ha, this is a detection device used to measure the energy content in spirit stones. In the past, some people tried to cheat by selling half-used spirit stones to my shop, but they didn't succeed. My machine detected it. The number displayed on the device is the energy content. You can see," Wang Wu explained to Lin Fei.

"Since you've inspected the goods, you should prepare now, right?" Lin Fei said.

"Sure, please wait a moment," Wang Wu picked up his phone and made a call. "Xiao Liu, arrange for 47 million yuan in cash to be brought to the VIP room."

Lin Fei waited for over 20 minutes. Just as he was about to ask, five burly men in black uniforms pushed the door open, each carrying two briefcases. They opened the cases, revealing stacks of cash.

"Take it out and put it on the table," Lin Fei said.

Wang Wu gave the men a nod, and they took out the cash from the briefcases and neatly stacked it on the table.

"Continue," Wang Wu instructed.
