13: Sell ​​gold and buy fishing gear

【Ding, this question involves the level 3 System Mall. Please work hard to upgrade the System level, and all your doubts will be answered then.】

“Okay, then Tong Zi Ge, how do I use this temporary warehouse?”

【Ding, the Host only needs to touch the item and control it with his mind.】

Chen Xiangbei immediately tried it.

He touched the bait with his hand, silently thought "store", and with a whoosh, the bait disappeared completely.

Then he silently thought "take out", and with a ding, the bait reappeared.

After putting it in and taking it out a few times, Chen Xiangbei went to sleep feeling satisfied.

The next morning.

Chen Xiangbei woke up naturally, checking the time, it was not even 7:30 yet.

He opened his phone and played some soothing, refreshing music.

Looking at his phone, which he had bought several years ago and was a bit worn, he thought about buying a new one.

Accompanied by the gentle music, he began to wash up.

In the past few days, his attitude towards life had changed greatly.

From a tight budget to his current five-figure savings, plus the 100g gold bar, he had never been this wealthy before.

Many people, after suddenly becoming rich, would buy and spend lavishly, showing off and causing a fuss.

This is a typical behavior of the newly rich from humble backgrounds.

But Chen Xiangbei was not like that; he greatly cherished and enjoyed this kind of life.

He earned money so he could experience more of the life he had never experienced before, only heard about from others.

Listening to the gentle music coming from his phone, Chen Xiangbei began to wash up.

He ordered breakfast delivery.

A portion of meat and egg rice noodle rolls, a corn, and a hand-held pancake with added pork loin and shredded meat floss.

This breakfast cost 25 yuan, which was nothing for rich people.

But for working people, it was quite good.

Chen Xiangbei used to eat breakfast like two buns or steamed rolls, at most with a cup of freshly ground soy milk.

For young people just starting out in society, it was still very simple, and they were willing to eat like that.

But once they had worked for two years, even if they had money or not, they would eat better.

Once the standard of living went up, they wouldn't care if their income kept up.

After tasting the sweetness of life, it was hard to go back to the days of hardship like in college. The main focus was on living a healthy life.

After finishing breakfast, it was already 9 in the morning.

Chen Xiangbei casually put together an outfit and went out.

First, he would exchange the gold for cash.

He opened his phone, searched for the nearest gold shop, and took a taxi straight there.

On the way, he searched for today's gold price, which was 550 yuan per gram.

However, when selling to a gold shop, they usually wouldn't offer this much, as the gold shop needed to make a profit.

Arriving at Fufu Jewelry Store, it was just opening time, and the counter staff were arranging goods.

Chen Xiangbei had already taken out the gold bar and various certificates from the System.

He went to the front desk and asked the service staff.

“Hello, do you buy gold?”

Seeing this, the service staff enthusiastically replied, “Good morning, Mr., we have a gold recycling service here. May I ask roughly how much you have?”

“100g of 999 gold. I have the certificate and purchase receipt.”

“Okay, Mr., today's gold price is 550 per gram, but our recycling price is 530 per gram. Are you sure you want to sell? If so, I will weigh it for you,” the service staff asked.

“Yes, I want to sell. The price you quoted is fine.”

“Okay, please let me verify the certificate and purchase receipt. Do you have your ID card with you?”

“Yes, just a moment.” After speaking, he took out his ID card from his pocket and gave it to the service staff.

After verifying all the information, the service staff used a machine to test the purity of the gold.

Once there were no issues, she asked Chen Xiangbei for his bank card number and began the transfer process.

Soon after, Chen Xiangbei's phone received a notification.

“【Bank Card Number 4539】Received 53000 yuan at 9:35, balance 65451.55 yuan.”

“Received it, thank you, may your business flourish.” Chen Xiangbei said and turned to leave.

“Please take care, Mr., welcome to visit again!”

Looking at the balance on his phone, Chen Xiangbei was very satisfied. He had never been this wealthy before.

He searched for nearby fishing tackle shops and took a taxi there.

The Master driver was a middle-aged Uncle in his forties. When he learned that Chen Xiangbei was going to a fishing tackle shop, he asked.

“Are you going to buy a fishing rod to fish, Mr.?”

“Yes, I want to fish and relax recently.”

“Hey, that's really a coincidence. I also like fishing when I'm off work. I've been fishing for many years.”

“Really? So Master, you are also a fellow angler? Do you usually use a hand rod or a lure rod?” Chen Xiangbei asked.

“Just a regular hand rod. I just fish casually to pass the time. After all, work is important, and I always go fishing secretly. My wife doesn't let me fish,” the Master driver replied gloomily.

Chen Xiangbei didn't know how to respond to him, so he simply changed the subject.

“Master, do you know where in Linhai City there are more and bigger fish?”

“Of course, the fish in the sea are many and big.”

“Hahaha, everyone knows that. I'm talking about freshwater fish. My financial conditions don't allow me to go sea fishing. Fishing casually in rivers and lakes is enough,” Chen Xiangbei said happily.

“Then you should fish in Zhu River or Baiyun Lake. You can catch big fish in these two places. Many people go there to fish,” the Master affirmed.

“Okay, I'll go check it out after I buy the fishing gear,” Chen Xiangbei replied.

He quickly arrived at the fishing tackle shop, paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked into the store.

Seeing the dazzling array of fishing gear in the store, Chen Xiangbei's difficulty choosing kicked in.

Finally, after half an hour of careful selection, he bought a hand rod and a sea rod, along with some corresponding accessories, choosing those with better performance.

The hand rod was over 1,200 yuan, and the sea rod was more expensive, over 2,600 yuan.

The reason for choosing these two types was to cover both freshwater and saltwater fishing grounds.

Most importantly, both of these could use edible bait.

Lure rods, on the other hand, use artificial bait, so he couldn't use the powerful bait rewarded by the System.

Spending nearly 4,000 yuan at once, Chen Xiangbei still felt a pang of pain. Besides paying tuition, he had never spent so much money at once before.

He refused the Shop Owner's attempts to further promote various fish baits for different fish species.

Chen Xiangbei asked the fishing tackle shop Shop Owner where there were more fish.

The Shop Owner told him several locations, which also included Zhu River and Baiyun Lake, mentioned by the Master driver.

Zhu River is the largest river in Linhai City, and Baiyun Lake is also the largest freshwater lake in Linhai City.

Zhu River is over 2,300 kilometers long and has about 250 species of fish. Besides fish like carp, crucian carp, bream, grass carp, bighead carp, and silver carp, there are also unique fish in this basin such asDace (lingyu) and Fish (juankouyu).

Baiyun Lake is also a high-altitude lake with rich and diverse fish species. Moreover, there is a unique Baiyun Mountain Fish there, which is quite expensive and has tender flesh.

In addition, Baiyun Lake also has some Ornamental Fish.

One of them is called Butterfly Koi. Butterfly Koi is a type of freshwater Ornamental Fish, generally priced from a few hundred to tens of thousands of yuan. Rare, mutated, and beautiful ones can sell for tens of thousands to millions of yuan.

Chen Xiangbei took a taxi home first, put away the sea rod, as he wouldn't need it for now.

Then he took a taxi to a relatively large tributary of Zhu River.

Fish in the main channel are usually more alert and difficult to catch, so he chose to start fishing from a tributary.
