Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Completing Tasks in Quick Succession!
With such a commotion, people nearby rushed over to watch the scene.
"Imperial Green!"
Someone exclaimed upon seeing the raw stone cut in half, and instantly the entire jade trading market erupted in excitement!
"No wonder Old Li abandoned his stall and ran away; if it were me, I couldn't help it either!"
"How much is this worth?"
"Looking at this quality, it must be at least eight figures!"
...
As more and more people gathered around.
Li Jinyang's eyes were bloodshot, "It's mine! Let go of me! That's mine!"
Li Jinyang tried to snatch the raw stone, but unfortunately, one of his hands was handcuffed to the railing by Liu Guodong. No matter how he struggled, even scraping the skin off his wrist, he couldn't break free!
At the same time.
Liu Guodong stepped forward, picked up the raw stone, and pointed to the body camera on his chest, mocking Li Jinyang, "What did you just say?
You sold this stone, and it was a free trade! My body camera recorded the entire process!
What? Having second thoughts?"
As Liu Guodong spoke, he handed the raw stone to Xu Zhengyang, feeling quite pleased, and added to Li Jinyang, "Moreover, your earlier actions are suspected of robbery! Look at the quality of this jade; the amount involved is definitely huge!
If this young brother decides to pursue it, you can just wait to spend the rest of your life in prison!"
...
In the end.
With Liu Guodong's help, the piece of Imperial Green jade that Xu Zhengyang extracted using the skill Detection was sold on the spot to a well-known jewelry store in Baicheng.
Seeing his account balance increase by twelve million in cash, Xu Zhengyang felt a sense of relief.
Now he had the funds to build his shelter up to the limit, and he could even buy more supplies, medicines, and materials to store in the warehouse for emergencies!
When leaving the jade trading market.
Xu Zhengyang expressed his gratitude to Liu Guodong, "Thank you, Officer Liu. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know how to handle these matters today."
Liu Guodong pushed Li Jinyang into the police car and handed him over to his apprentice, waving his hand casually, "It's nothing; this is what I should do, serving the people, haha."
At that moment.
Xu Zhengyang suddenly remembered an answer he had seen on Zhihu, and immediately said to Liu Guodong, "Then let me give you a banner!"
"A banner...?"
Liu Guodong's face showed a struggle upon hearing this, and he didn't refuse immediately.
Seeing Liu Guodong's expression.
Xu Zhengyang knew he really needed this.
So he quickly added, "Yes, Officer Liu, you really helped me a lot this time!
Not only do I want to give you a banner, but I also want to write you a thank-you letter, a handwritten one!"
"Well…"
Hearing Xu Zhengyang's words, Liu Guodong's breathing quickened, and he even stuttered a bit, his face turning slightly red as he said, "Well… then… that would be… that would be troublesome for you."
"Not troublesome at all; it's what I should do," Xu Zhengyang replied.
*In the afternoon.
After delivering the banner and thank-you letter to Liu Guodong, Xu Zhengyang had just exited the police station when he received a call from Chen Yong.
As soon as the call connected.
Chen Yong couldn't wait to say, "Azheng, I've preliminarily completed the design drawings. Are you free now? Can you come over to take a look?"
"I'll be right there."
After hanging up, Xu Zhengyang hurriedly took a taxi and sped towards Chen Yong's company.
I have to say.
Chen Yong, being a veteran civil engineer, designed a shelter renovation plan that met all of Xu Zhengyang's fantasies about the shelter!
In the end.
Xu Zhengyang, following the task prompt, had Chen Yong's designer partition the functional areas inside the shelter, and then nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go with this. Send me the design drawings on WeChat; I'll take them to show the boss."
...
Five minutes later.
Xu Zhengyang pretended to play with his phone for a while before directly saying to Chen Yong, "Let's go with this, Uncle Chen. Can you start construction soon?"
"As long as the boss is satisfied with our design drawings, that's all that matters."
Chen Yong breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "Since the design drawings are fine, I'll arrange for the workers to start welding the rebar right away to prepare for the concrete pouring!
But…"
Chen Yong's tone shifted, revealing an apologetic expression as he said, "I underestimated some material prices earlier.
If we build according to the design drawings, the total funds needed to complete the shelter will be around five million."
"Five million?"
Xu Zhengyang nodded upon hearing this, unfazed, "No problem!
Uncle Chen, prepare the contract. Once we sign it, I'll transfer you one million, and you need to get it done for me as soon as possible!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Chen Yong was overjoyed upon hearing this, assuring Xu Zhengyang, "Don't worry, Azheng. I'll be living at the construction site for a while.
I will personally oversee your project from start to finish. I guarantee I'll complete it with quality within twenty days!"
After all, the time-limited side quest required completion within a month.
So Xu Zhengyang immediately nodded in agreement, "Then it's settled. Uncle Chen, prepare the contract and get started quickly!"
...
Ten minutes later, after Xu Zhengyang signed the contract with Chen Yong and transferred one million to his company account, he left.
*Six days later.
While Xu Zhengyang was at home diligently studying the barefoot doctor manual and the dual-use talents handbook in preparation for the impending apocalypse.
Suddenly, two lines of subtitles appeared before his eyes:
[Main Quest: Reinforcement (Completed)]
[Reward: Dimensional Pocket Upgrade Device]
At the moment he saw the subtitles.
Xu Zhengyang knew that Chen Yong had already completed the preliminary work! He was overjoyed.
So he immediately took out the Dimensional Pocket Upgrade Device to check its attributes: [Dimensional Pocket Upgrade Device]
[Effect: Increases the space of the Dimensional Space Pocket to 5m5m5m]
(Note: It will take effect once placed in the Dimensional Space Pocket) After reading the attributes and usage of the Dimensional Space Pocket, Xu Zhengyang wasted no time and directly placed it into his Dimensional Space Pocket.
Confirming that the upgrade device had taken effect.
Xu Zhengyang quickly opened the task list to check the new main quest:
[Main Quest: The Door]
[You have reinforced your shelter with rebar and concrete, but a sturdy shelter also needs a strong door.]
[Quest Objective: Install the strongest door possible for your shelter.]
[Quest Reward: Physical Enhancement Potion]
Seeing the main quest, Xu Zhengyang chuckled, closed the task interface, and continued reading.
He had previously considered the safety of the shelter.
So Xu Zhengyang specifically had Chen Yong custom-make a titanium alloy door that was at least thirty centimeters thick at its thinnest point!
Once the shelter renovation was completed and the door was installed.
With the strength of this titanium door, it would definitely meet the quest requirements, and Xu Zhengyang just needed to wait patiently.
