The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

In case I come back again in the future, I'll have a decent place to stay.

"no problem."

Ling said crisply and decisively.

Anyway, the video store is just a front; we don't expect to make money from it, so let it be closed for now.

On the other hand, Bai Zhi is so powerful that she's asking for gold coins in exchange for Ding Ni, so it must be a considerable sum.

If they could make a good profit, she and her brother would be much better off during this period.

Chapter 434 Is Ten Tons of Gold Enough?

"That's all. I should be able to buy some property in a good location in this city and purchase some supplies."

Bai Zhi placed the two bags of gold coins, wrapped in linen, on the ground.

"How about you each give me one bag instead?"

“No problem, dear Miss Baizhi, with the help of the Rabbit House, your satisfaction is guaranteed!” Nicole immediately saluted and then hugged the bag of gold coins to her chest.

They didn't complain at all that this thing was incredibly heavy.

Touching the bag of gold coins in her arms, Nicole's eyes almost sparkled with gold. How much money was that? If she exchanged it for Tennys through shady channels, she could make a profit of about 15%.

"With these gold coins, it might be quite difficult to exchange them for Dinnes through reliable channels on the black market if you want to buy particularly good properties, such as those in the city center..."

Ling, on the other hand, was quite calm. She was well aware that the housing prices in New Ailidu had reached an outrageous level.

Even in a relatively remote area like Sixth Street, the video store where the brother and sister lived had almost depleted their savings.

You have to understand, they are the legendary rope maker Phaethon, whose earning power is unmatched by ordinary people.

But there's no way around it; the void is spreading, so good locations always command exorbitant prices.

After all, no one wants to wake up one day to find themselves transformed into a skeleton due to the erosion caused by the void covering them.

"I feel like the store manager is a bit too professional. Could it be that you're actually running a video store on the surface, but have some kind of secret job?"

Hearing Ling's words, March 7 stroked his chin and said with some suspicion.

"Uh...we're all honest people. It's just that as shop owners, we know a lot of people. It's a secret profession, the kind you only see in movies."

Ling wiped away her cold sweat and said.

"That's true."

March 7 blinked, acknowledging the statement.

"Then, is ten tons of gold enough?" Bai Zhi glanced at March 7th, then asked with a smile.

"what?"

Ling picked at her ear in disbelief and looked at Bai Zhi.

Who is this person? He's so arrogant just from saying that casually.

"Just kidding. I do have some, but I'd rather not use it to buy that stuff. How about this place on Sixth Street? I'll give you two more bags. Is that enough to buy a small building big enough?"

Although Bai Zhi didn't know what would happen next, she was certain that the street where the protagonist was located was the safest place.

The so-called "hollow hole hazard" is unlikely to occur.

"That's enough, more than enough. Actually, it's best to leave it to us; we're the most professional at handling these things."

Nicole's eyes practically turned green with envy as she looked at the two bags of gold coins that Bai Zhi had brought out again.

If the gold coins used to be enough to buy a small, average property on Sixth Street and some other things, now they can be used to buy commercial buildings and a large amount of other items.

If they could eat them all, the Rabbit House would probably be set for life for years to come.

"Let's divide it equally; everything needs to be compared."

Bai Zhi looked at Nicole with amusement and said.

“Well… okay, we’ll get it sorted out right away. Miss Baizhi, do you have a bank account? Cash might not be the best option for this exchanged money.”

"I don't have a bank card, and we don't have identification either. Could you please help me with that, Miss Nicole?"

Bai Zhi smiled as she looked at Nicole. Although Silver Wolf could easily handle such matters with a little effort, she didn't want to trouble him with everything.

She's not your maid, you can't just obey her every word.

"No problem, we have the channels to take care of these for you!"

Are you kidding me? Even if she's never done this kind of business before, once she's exchanged all that gold, how could she not have the money to hire others to do these things on the rope net?

If you don't understand the business, surely you understand outsourcing?

Suddenly, Bai Zhi's phone lit up, and a meme of the fairy Ai Li appeared on it.

Then another message popped up: "Dear master, I can meow too."

Bai Zhi blinked, seemingly forgetting about the Corruption that had been modified by the Silver Wolf. This guy seemed to be quite good at computers as well.

Oh well, I've already said it, so let it be. It's not a big deal.

She believed that Nicole, who was involved in the gray market, must have her own well-established methods.

"Ling, it seems you and the others had a very pleasant conversation."

At this moment, Zhe walked over with Lao Yang.

“Brother, this is not just a pleasant conversation, it has even made us a fortune. Look at all this on the ground.”

"These are... gold coins?"

Zhe looked at the golden light reflected from the bag and tentatively asked.

“That’s right, gold. Miss Baizhi asked us to exchange these gold coins for Tenny.”

"It seems you gentlemen are no ordinary people," Old Yang said casually, a glint of light reflecting off his glasses.

When he went to watch those videos with Zhe, he discovered some shady dealings at the video store, especially those seemingly ordinary people who actually served as surveillance agents.

"Ahem, there's really nothing to hide. Our main business isn't renting movies; we're rope craftsmen."

Ling hesitated for a moment, then exchanged a glance with her brother before deciding to reveal her identity. After all, they had been given such a large sum of money in business, so there was no need to hide anything.

Throughout Liufen Street, quite a few people knew their identities, including Bai Zhi and her group.

The only downside is that it might be quite difficult to develop Angelica dahurica into an agent.

After all, doing missions inside the void isn't a good option for wealthy people.

"The two shop owners are actually quite nice. Although they are rope craftsmen, they are not like many rope craftsmen who only care about profit. They are very humane."

“Our Rabbit House owes the two shop owners a lot of money, but they haven’t been pressing us for it.”

Ling glanced at Nicole helplessly. "You sound quite proud of that?"

"It's just that the shop owner is kind-hearted. Don't worry, I'll make a lot of money from Miss Baizhi's business this time, and I'll definitely be able to pay it back."

"You better be able to."

"Hey hey hey? You guys really do have hidden professions, huh? Why did you say you didn't just now?"

"Do you think I'm stupid or something?!"

On March 7th, he realized something was wrong. When he asked around, he said it was just an ordinary job, but when Uncle Yang mentioned it, he immediately gave himself away.

Doesn't that make me look stupid?

"Alright, Sister March 7th, doesn't this make you seem more innocent and kind? As the saying goes, beauty comes from within, so it's perfectly normal that Sister March 7th can't see it, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's right. It's normal that I'm beautiful and kind-hearted, so it's not my understanding of these things. Little Baizhi really understands me!"

March 7th proudly puffed out its chest.

Chapter 435 How about we sell Himeko Coffee?

"But what exactly does a rope maker do on a regular basis?"

After feeling smug, March 7th asked the two siblings with some curiosity.

Ling glanced at March 7 with some surprise. Although rope making is a rather shady business, in reality, even if most people have never actually hired one, they certainly know the concept of this profession.

However, out of respect for the pile of gold coins, Ling still dutifully acted as the introducer:

"A rope craftsman is someone who is very familiar with the various situations inside a hollow space and can skillfully guide people out of the chaotic space. You could also call him a tour guide."

Ling briefly explained the work of a rope maker.

“That’s right. The two siblings are the legendary rope craftsmen Phaethon. Unlike other rope craftsmen, they don’t need to personally go in to lead others. Instead, they can remotely connect to Bomb to control them.”

Nicole chimed in with a comment.

"Wow, a legendary rope craftsman! That sounds amazing! Little Angelica, why don't we become rope craftsmen too? We can buy a place, sell all sorts of things, and at night, we'll become dark knights..."

"Oh no, it's the legendary rope craftsman who led those who were in despair in the void out of it."

March 7th's eyes lit up immediately; this novel-like setting instantly captivated her attention.

"Uh... Sister March 7th, you're right, but do you know how to calculate the coordinates of those empty spaces?"

Bai Zhi said helplessly that the dangers in these hollows were indeed not a problem for March 7 and her; any one of the train crews could handle them alone.

However, the space inside is complex and interwoven, and without the ability to calculate spatial coordinates, it is entirely possible to get trapped inside.

Unless the hole is finally blown up, it will probably take a long time to navigate around.

This rope-making business is probably only something Silver Wolf can do now. No, maybe Himeko can too. As a navigator, Himeko is quite good at spatial calculations.

If you want to do it yourself, you should go back to the Star Iron World first and learn how to edit Ether.

March 7 blinked her innocent big eyes, "But Miss Silver Wolf definitely will, right? Didn't she just open a portal and send us to the end?"

Upon hearing this, Ling immediately looked at Nicole.

Nicole nodded subtly, indicating that it was true.

"But do you think... Silver Wolf will play games all day, or will he become your Dark Knight?"

"That seems to be true..."

Thinking about how Silver Wolf usually lazily lay on the sofa playing games, March 7 had to admit that Bai Zhi was right.

It would be quite difficult to get Silver Wolf to work so diligently every day.

"Then, let's open a small shop here first, selling some hidden gems, hmm, the kind of shops that sell mysterious items that are legendary in the city."

"It's not impossible."

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then nodded.

The suggestion made on March 7th was actually quite constructive.

As for what special items to sell…

"Himeko's coffee is pretty good. One cup and those monsters will definitely die! And Danheng's saliva, doesn't Xianzhou always say that dragon's saliva is a holy medicine? It must be very effective."

"Yes, yes, Danheng can do it, and Xiaobaizhi and Miss Bailu's saliva can definitely do it too. It's a win-win situation with no cost."

"And my ice can stay frozen forever, so I can use it as a refrigerator, saving electricity and money!"

After listening to the whole thing, Lao Yang showed the expression of an old man using his cell phone on the subway.

"Alright, Sister March 7th, don't offer any more suggestions. I'll handle this matter myself."

Bai Zhi sighed; March 7th's imagination always made leaps and bounds at this moment.

However, she wasn't sure if Danheng's saliva would have any effect, but Bailu's would probably definitely work.

But who would be so perverted as to buy a loli's saliva?

Could there really be such a pervert?

As for the last one, you know what, it might actually have a market.

"Ugh... Okay, I believe in Angelica dahurica."

After saying that, March 7th turned to Nicole, her previous frustration seemingly gone, and asked with great enthusiasm:

"Miss Nicole, what do you do for a living?"
