I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 152 - 52: Lucky Arrival

Qing’an County, Fuji Money Shop.

Looking at the box filled with glittering gold bars on the counter, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise and asked, "Honored guest, do you want to exchange all this gold for gold notes?"

Fuji is the largest money shop in Daqian, with branches all over the country, covering almost every county and prefecture city.

Their issued silver notes and gold notes are renowned for being safe and reliable, with a sterling reputation.

They not only circulate throughout Daqian, but even in foreign lands they have considerable flow.

As the shopkeeper of the Qing’an Branch, he has seen countless wealthy patrons of all sorts.

But a customer directly bringing a box of gold to exchange for gold notes — he hadn’t seen many such cases.

What’s more, the person standing in front of the counter, dressed plainly with a dark complexion, looked entirely like a down-and-out wandering hero.

He didn’t look like a wealthy man who could produce a fortune in gold.

The wandering hero expressionlessly replied, "Yes."

"Please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper, with his vast experience, quickly restrained the curiosity and doubt in his heart.

He began the process according to protocol.

One by one, the gold bars were taken out of the box, weighed, cut open with large scissors, and examined.

The clerk beside him swiftly operated the abacus, making rapid clicking sounds.

The shopkeeper completed the final tally: "Honored guest, your gold totals eleven hundred and fifty taels, all pure gold. Do you want to exchange it all for gold notes?"

The wandering hero nodded: "That’s right, I need eleven of a hundred taels each, and one of fifty taels."

Before long, the wandering hero left the money shop with twelve gold notes.

The shopkeeper watched as his figure disappeared at the doorway, then turned and instructed, "Store all the gold in the secret vault."

The clerk went off to carry out the order.

The shopkeeper stroked his chin, appearing deep in thought.

At that moment, the wandering hero walked along the long street, leaving the city gate behind.

He quickly left the county town far behind him.

Until he arrived at a deserted location.

He pulled off the beard stuck to his chin, wiped away the grease on his face, and revealed his true identity.

It was Zhang Yuan!

Yesterday, he discovered a sunken ship near Feiyan Lake and found a box of gold bars inside.

Today, Zhang Yuan brought this box of gold to Qing’an County to exchange for gold notes.

Gold bars are heavy and conspicuous, making them inconvenient to use compared to the equivalent value in gold notes.

If he needed to flee, carrying a dozen gold notes would be much easier than a box of gold.

Despite the substantial reputation of Fuji Money Shop over hundreds of years, Zhang Yuan cautiously chose to come to Qing’an for the exchange and even disguised himself simply.

This was his second time visiting Qing’an.

The last time, Zhang Yuan challenged and killed Zhao Rongbin, the Qing’an Tiger.

Thinking about it now, it feels like just yesterday!

He walked briskly to the edge of a wild river, soon shaking out a small boat from the reeds.

This small river is a tributary of the Celestial Horse River.

Zhang Yuan rowed the boat back toward the West Plain, entering the Celestial Horse River by evening.

Then he followed the current down to Whale Castle.

In one day, he traveled hundreds of miles back and forth, quietly completing an important task.

As for the gold notes he had just acquired, Zhang Yuan planned to save them all.

If one does not plan ahead, one must worry soon; to live peacefully, one must think of danger and prepare for the future, for the Furious Whale Gang might not remain stable forever.

Even though Zhang Yuan currently enjoys great success in the Linhe Sub-Branch,

his heart has always harbored a sense of unease.

Or rather, a sense of crisis.

To be on the safe side, he must prepare some alternate paths for himself.

Even if he never uses them, it’s necessary to have them!

In the upcoming period, Zhang Yuan planned to sail daily on Feiyan Lake.

On one hand, he needed to further familiarize himself with and master the new abilities of the White Dragon Loach, and on the other hand, continue exploring the sunken ship.

Although the first exploration was fraught with danger, Zhang Yuan uncovered the usefulness of the Red Blood Saber.

With the power of this Divine Soldier, he was not afraid of the mysteries lurking in the sunken ship.

Interestingly, when Zhang Yuan held the Red Blood Divine Soldier and dived into the sunken ship, he didn’t encounter any water ghosts again.

This allowed Zhang Yuan to search the entire ship smoothly.

Regrettably, he didn’t find a second box of gold bars, only picking up some scattered silver taels and jewelry.

They were heavily corroded and not very valuable.

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

But upon reflection, he realized he was being greedy.

After all, if no treasures can be found in this sunken ship, he could always look for other sunken ships in the future.

In the race of sunken ship treasure hunting, Zhang Yuan believed not many could compare to him!

[Genetic Body Detected!]

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to leave the sunken ship, a notification suddenly popped up in his vision.

Damn!

Zhang Yuan wanted to curse.

Though it wasn’t visible, he was a hundred percent sure that what triggered the Divine Nest’s response must be the White Dragon Loach.

This guy seemed to be having fun with Zhang Yuan.

The last time it led him to this sunken ship, and now, as he was about to leave, it appeared again.

Zhang Yuan felt that if he didn’t catch it, he would be letting himself down!

He suddenly turned around, catching a familiar glimpse of white out of the corner of his eye.

He was right!

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yuan darted forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

In an instant, he saw the White Dragon Loach escaping to his right!

Zhang Yuan immediately activated the Extraordinary Abilities of the Black Giant Ant and Golden Grasshopper, granting himself a simultaneous sixfold increase in strength and agility, then went all out in pursuit.

In just the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan closed the distance to within ten steps.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan struck forward with his right palm toward the White Dragon Loach.

Thunderous Wave Palm!

After reaching the Tier Three Transformation Realm, the power Zhang Yuan could unleash on his own exceeded fifteen hundred pounds.

And it’s still growing.

With the Black Giant Ant’s sixfold strength boost, his full force exceeded nine thousand pounds!

With a single blow, a terrifying power surged forth, like a heavy torpedo blasting toward the target.

The White Dragon Loach couldn’t evade in time, and in an instant, was struck by Zhang Yuan’s Palm Power.

Immediately it was involuntarily slammed into the cabin wall.

Crack!

The thick cabin board shattered and exploded, stirring up clouds of silt and muddy currents.

Numerous wooden boxes spilled out, instantly blocking the passage!

And the unfortunate White Dragon Loach, having been hit, flipped belly-up, and was swept back to Zhang Yuan by the backwash.

In fact, this creature was quite formidable; ordinary fish would have been pulverized by such a strike.

It merely went into a faint, its body still twitching and writhing.

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed it, his gaze falling upon the pile of wooden boxes ahead.

It seemed that inadvertently, he had opened the secret compartment of this sunken ship?

Many merchant ships have built-in secret compartments, specifically for storing and transporting valuables or contraband.

So what were these boxes holding?

Zhang Yuan suddenly thought the White Dragon Loach in his hand should be called...

Lucky!
