302: Why do you always go to the bathroom?

“Boss Xiao, you wouldn’t be thinking of taking my gold bars, would you?”

Seeing Xiao Yun’s gaze fixated on the counter displaying the pure gold bars, Shi Erzhu's heart also began to pound.

He had previously promised Xiao Yun that if he could help him obtain the Red Wolf identity, he could ask for any old, damaged red materials.

But other things he could give; just don't set your sights on the gold bars!

Who doesn't know these things retain their value? Even old gold bars won't decrease in price just because of their age!

Especially since these were pure gold bars brought out from the restricted area.

The value of these items was not just as simple as their gold price.

Due to the uniqueness of restricted area items, each of these pure gold bars could serve as a treasure of a jewelry store in reality.

As long as one gold bar was displayed in the middle of the store, customers would know the strength of your establishment.

Although this item could only be rented for over 300,000 a year, it wouldn't wear out or depreciate like other materials.

It rented for over 300,000 now, and it would still be over 300,000 a hundred years later; who knows, perhaps the price of gold would skyrocket then, and the rental price would even double!

Therefore, compared to other luxury goods in the store, this counter full of pure gold bars could practically be said to be Shi Erzhu's lifeblood!

Although what was displayed here were all artisanal replicas, if Xiao Yun really wanted the gold bars, could he refuse?

Watching Xiao Yun stare with a smile at that counter of pure gold bars, Shi Erzhu's non-existent legs in reality trembled with fear.

“Boss Xiao... why don’t you look at something else? Even if you have the technique, repairing this stuff wouldn’t be profitable, would it?”

Shi Erzhu said with a forced smile.

At this moment, he was still hoping that Xiao Yun was just casually looking and had no intention of taking the gold bars.

However, Xiao Yun merely smiled faintly, shattering his illusion with a single sentence.

“Boss Shi, help me find 11 pure gold bars.”

“11 bars! You're asking for my life!”

Shi Erzhu immediately wailed in despair.

His face was flushed red; he had never expected Xiao Yun to ask for gold bars, and 11 of them at that! That must be tens of millions!

To ask for tens of millions worth of gold bars right after reaching an agreement, what would happen later?

“Don’t worry, I don’t want your gold bars. I just need a tiny bit of gold powder, don’t worry, I don’t even need a gram. Just help me find 11 pure gold bars, and I guarantee that after I’m done, when you put them on the scale, not a single gram will be missing.”

As for Boss Shi’s panic, Xiao Yun quickly explained, afraid he would misunderstand.

“This... that’s doable, but what do you need this for? A little gold powder doesn’t require 11 gold bars, does it?”

“Don’t worry about it, just find them for me.”

Seeing Xiao Yun say this, Shi Erzhu sighed and called his older brother, Shi Dazhu, again.

As the call connected, the person on the other end wasted no words, directly asking what was needed this time. After Boss Shi explained he needed eleven pure gold bars, the voice on the other end of the phone was clearly somewhat shocked.

However, after hanging up the phone, Shi Dazhu’s small car quickly arrived at the storefront.

“Can you just say everything you need at once?”

He impatiently placed a black briefcase on the table. Since these were valuable pure gold bars, Shi Dazhu was not as rude as before.

“Boss Xiao, what else do you need? Just tell me everything at once. My brother has a bad temper, and if he gets angry, I won't be able to stop him!”

Seeing Shi Dazhu’s expression was a bit off, Boss Shi quickly reminded him.

However, how could Xiao Yun know what he would need later now?

These big red materials were not like the little gold from before, which could be predicted and hoarded in advance.

Each upgrade was worth tens of millions, possibly even hundreds of millions; how could he hoard them in advance?

He could only upgrade once and see what materials were needed for the next upgrade, then prepare accordingly.

“I’m sorry, I haven’t thought it through yet. I need to think about what materials I’ll need.”

Xiao Yun apologized very sincerely.

However, although Xiao Yun’s tone was sincere and his attitude was flawless, in Shi Dazhu’s eyes, he seemed to completely disregard this display, only believing that Xiao Yun was toying with him.

“You go take the goods yourself! Whoever wants to do it, let them do it, I’m not doing it anymore!”

Shi Dazhu had a volatile temper, but fortunately, these words were not directed at Xiao Yun, but at Shi Erzhu beside him.

Although he had a big temper, he still knew what was important and knew that Xiao Yun was an important customer of the store, so he dared not offend him.

Thus, he vented his anger on his own brother, then angrily got into his car, slammed the door shut, and drove away, and the direction he left in did not seem to be the way back.

“Boss Xiao, I’m really sorry, my brother just has that kind of temper.”

“It’s alright, but what if I need other materials later? You have to watch the store; it’s not convenient for you to go back, right?”

Xiao Yun asked.

“Sigh, if it really comes to it, I’ll tell you my home address later, and you and Liu Miss can go yourselves.”

“Boss, we just met for the first time; you trust me that much?”

Hearing Shi Erzhu’s words, Xiao Yun was also a bit surprised.

Shi Erzhu merely smiled faintly, looking at Liu Shihhan, who was browsing and selecting gifts in the store nearby.

“It’s not just that I trust you; most importantly, I trust the Liu family. You know their family’s strength, right?”

“Uh... I know a little.”

Xiao Yun felt a bit awkward; his understanding of Liu Shihhan’s family seemed to be less than Boss Shi’s.

However, he wasn't very concerned about these matters.

What about your Liu family? No matter how strong your Liu family is, once you enter the restricted area, your daughter still has to honestly offer big red to me.

“Well, we’ll see about the situation then. Oh, right, I’m going to the restroom again. I’ll take the gold bars with me for a moment.”

With that, Xiao Yun didn't waste words, picking up the briefcase full of gold bars and walking towards the restroom.

Seeing this, Shi Erzhu also looked puzzled. Why did this guy go to the restroom so many times a day?

“This Liu Miss... I didn’t realize.”

Saying that, he looked thoughtfully at Liu Shihhan beside him, wondering if this young girl was really that fierce.
