I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 594: 【193】It doesn’t matter, I will take action

"Hey, Zheng Bin, that gold sphere you mentioned, I think I've seen it."

On the street where snowflakes blew with the cold wind, Old Lin smoked a cigarette while calling Zheng Bin to report.

Zheng Bin, who had just returned home for a hot shower, was instantly delighted: "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. Isn't it about the size of a fist? I saw someone selling it at my friend's shop."

"Great, great, Old Lin, you're doing me a huge favor this time. I'll treat you to drinks later."

"Zheng Bin, why don't you tell me where this gold sphere came from? This is really a windfall."

"Old Lin, there are some things, as a friend, I must advise you not to know. Otherwise, you might end up dead. I'm only involved because I have no choice."

"Alright, I get it."

"Don't just say you get it. Where is the person with the gold sphere? I'll head there right away," Zheng Bin asked anxiously.

Gamuzhe City isn't small. Even if you know someone's selling a gold sphere, it's pointless if you don't know where they live.

"At the Youth Hostel, number 4, Flag Street. I'm following the guy, saw him go in with my own eyes," Old Lin said, cigarette in mouth.

"Alright, I'm heading over now."

…

After hanging up the phone, Old Lin threw his cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it, a complex look in his eyes.

In a small border town like Gamuzhe City, although you can make money through tourism, it's merely enough to get by, hardly a path to richness.

But if life wasn't this tough, who would choose to stay in such a place, enduring cold winds and boring days all their life?

Who doesn't want to live it up in a big city, splash cash on long-legged girls in stockings, and experience the life of the wealthy?

It's all because of money issues.

Old Lin had seen that gold sphere with his own eyes. If sold, it'd easily fetch a hundred grand.

This amount would take Old Lin five years to save up without spending a dime.

"Probably those tomb-raiding folks, making a killing. Those who see should get a share; they made so much money, they ought to share a bit to ward off disaster."

After a few seconds, Old Lin gritted his teeth and walked straight into the Youth Hostel.

He stealthily followed Dong Haize all the way, until he reached the other man's room door. Dong Haize turned back coldly, staring fiercely at Old Lin.

"What do you want? Speak."

Though not a tomb-raider, Dong Haize had dealt with similar people in his feng shui business before.

He naturally knew such people would do anything for money.

He'd seen this guy at the black market merchant's shop. If he followed him all the way here, he must have a goal. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

And people's goals are usually all about money.

"Buddy, you probably made money raiding the tombs in the snow mountains, right? The snow mountains, if you go back hundreds of years, were where nobles transported lots of gold and jewels to build tombs,

you're making money, and it makes me itch to get a share. How about you give me some money, and I'll tell you a life-saving piece of news? It's not too much for this deal."

Old Lin chuckled slyly.

Dong Haize's expression remained calm; as they say, "It's easy to deal with King Yama; the little ghosts are hard to shake."

This kind of fearless local thug, it's best not to make enemies to avoid a heap of trouble.

As long as Dong Haize sold the remaining gold spheres, he could leave Gamuzhe City immediately after getting the money. Giving a cut to this local thug as a token gesture wouldn't hurt.

"What's your name, buddy?"

"Just call me Old Lin."

"What's the life-saving news? Let's hear it," Dong Haize said calmly with his hands in his pockets.

"Someone in this city is secretly asking about you," Old Lin whispered with a laugh.

Dong Haize's eyes immediately sharpened, the hairs on his back standing straight up.

This news was like a thunderbolt, exploding in his mind.

"Who is it?" Dong Haize quickly asked.

"Zheng Bin, a tour guide in Gamuzhe City. He mysteriously disappeared for a few days recently. As soon as he returned, he started inquiring about a gold sphere."

Old Lin had no hesitation in selling out Zheng Bin.

Friends are friends, but how much are friends worth?

If friends can't help you in times of need, they are even more meaningless.

Although he helped Zheng Bin find the owner of the gold sphere, the other guy only said he'd treat him to food and drinks?

How much are food and drinks worth!

Knowing that it's a gold sphere worth millions.

If he could pocket a few hundred thousand, Old Lin wouldn't have to earn for several years. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Disappeared for a few days... Something's off," Dong Haize mused silently.

He immediately smiled, "Thanks, Old Lin. Give me your payment app info, and I'll transfer you the money."

Old Lin promptly reported his payment app number.

Within seconds, his phone rang with a notification of a hundred thousand deposited.

"Buddy, a hundred thousand is a bit low, don't you think? You must be making at least a million off that gold sphere, give me a bit more. I'm risking a lot to tell you this," Old Lin said with a cheeky grin.

Dong Haize instantly frowned. A hundred thousand as a fee for information was already quite generous.

But this guy didn't seem to know when to be satisfied, insatiable like a snake wanting to swallow an elephant.

Yet Dong Haize didn't show anger; he knew it wasn't wise to create conflict with this guy at a time like this.

He still had many gold spheres unsold, sparing some money wasn't a big deal.

"Alright, I'll give you another fifteen grand, enough for a few years' worth of cigarettes." Dong Haize smiled and transferred another fifteen thousand.

"Generous, a pleasure doing business with you, buddy." Seeing the twenty-five grand added to his balance, Old Lin nodded with satisfaction and waved as he left.
