NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 7: Chapter 7 : Gift!!
The weather in NJ city is still so hot.
As the hottest city in Shu Province, Hayashi Sora doesn't want to go out when summer comes.
Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home with the air conditioner on, reading novels, playing games, or making videos?
Why do you have to go out and make things difficult for yourself?
But today he had to go out.
Because some fans sent him gifts, he had to go out to the express delivery station to pick them up.
Want the goods to be delivered to your door?
Haha, you're overthinking it.
"By the way, this is the first time a fan has given me a gift. I want to record this event."
The first time is always memorable.
Hayashi Sora wanted to record it with his mobile phone. It would be a good idea to upload it to Bilibili to share with other fans or keep it for himself.
"I don't know what the fans sent me, I hope it's not something messed up."
Thinking of this, Hayashi Sora's excitement suddenly dissipated a lot.
He knew that there was a Content Creator who happily went to get the gifts sent by fans, and then opened the package to see. Damn, it was a pile of shit.
Hayashi Sora didn't ask fans to send him any good things, he just hoped that he wouldn't be as unlucky as that Content Creator.
Although it would inevitably be a little painful the first time, he still wanted to challenge this iron rule.
"It's a bit strange. I didn't reveal my home address online. How did that fan know this place and send me something?"
Hayashi Sora couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it.
The express delivery station is not far from his community.
After exiting the community gate, walk west for about a hundred meters and you will arrive.
On the way there, he turned on his mobile phone as planned and recorded everything that happened when he went out to the express station to pick up things.
["What's the pickup code?"]
["A123456."]
When he arrived at the express delivery station, Hayashi Sora reported the pickup code and quickly got the package.
After returning home, Hayashi Sora couldn't wait to open the outer packaging and saw the bright yellow gold nuggets inside.
"What the, this shouldn't be gold, right?"
The moment he saw the gold, Hayashi Sora was a little flustered.
From his observation, if this thing is really gold, it would be worth a lot of money.
Along with the gold, there was also a small note.
It reads: Presented by the Second Hokage of Konoha, Tobirama Senju.
["Senju Tobirama? Is this fan also a heavy COSPLAY enthusiast?"]
He shook his head, now was not the time to speculate on the fan's true identity.
The most important thing now is to know whether this thing is gold or not.
It would be fine if it wasn't gold, he could just put it in his home as a decoration like a work of art.
If it was real gold, then he wouldn't know what to do with it?
Should I keep it in my collection or sell it directly?
After all, it was the first fan gift. Wouldn't it be a bit bad to sell it for money?
If he didn't sell the small Karami that he earned more than 3,000 yuan a month, how could he be qualified to collect such a big piece of gold?
"No matter what, it's better to ask Brother Ren to identify it."
After wrapping the things again, Hayashi Sora went downstairs again.
This time he came to a small gold shop not far to the east of the community.
The owner of this small gold shop, Watanabe Ren, is a distant relative of Hayashi Sora. Since they live in the same neighborhood and often visit each other, they have a pretty good relationship.
["Brother Ren, come and help me check if this thing is real gold."]
Fortunately, Hayashi Sora saw Watanabe Ren in the store, so he didn't have to call his employees for help.
"Show me."
Watanabe Ren did not refuse. He took the package from Hayashi Sora, opened it and started tinkering with it.
Half an hour later, after using methods such as touching, observing the color, weighing, and burning, Watanabe Ren could tell Hayashi Sora very clearly.
"This is indeed gold, not brass or any other metal resembling gold."
Hayashi Sora exclaimed upon receiving the confirmation.
I'm not trying to boast, but I'm genuinely conflicted.
Ignoring Hayashi Sora's uncertainty, Watanabe Ren stated, "The current price of gold is around 500 yuan. If you can verify its source, I'll purchase it at 430 yuan per gram. Without proof, the price would be 400 yuan per gram."
"This piece weighs 664 grams, valued at over 200,000 yuan here."
Hayashi Sora trusted Watanabe Ren's integrity; selling unverified gold elsewhere could lead to significant penalties.
Watanabe Ren's offer of a 20% discount was a gesture of goodwill.
As for proving the gold's source?
"Haha, then you should ask the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama."
"Alright, Brother Ren, I agree to 400 yuan per gram."
"Okay, the total comes to 265,600. I'll transfer 270,000 to you directly."
"Thank you, Brother Ren."
"Haha, it's a mutually beneficial deal."
"Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
"No, I'm leaving on a business trip soon. We'll celebrate when I return."
"Alright, it's settled."
Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, Tobirama Senju remained at his desk, processing documents even after office hours.
For the past two weeks, he had been staying late, waiting for a particular light curtain.
Occasionally, Sarutobi Hiruzen joined him, but Shimura Danzo disapproved, believing Hiruzen sought favor from Tobirama alone.
Danzo, ever ambitious, made a decisive move.
As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen goes to the Hokage's office, Danzo Shimura will have to accompany him.
Today, both of them happen to be in the office.
"Sensei, it probably won't show up today, right?"
"It's not dark yet, wait a little longer."
Danzo Shimura was completely puzzled by their conversation.
No matter how he asked Sarutobi Hiruzen what he was waiting for, the man always seemed secretive and refused to tell him.
As for asking Senju Tobirama?
Danzo Shimura didn't dare yet.
After waiting for a while, as the sky gradually darkened, Senju Tobirama stood up and began, "Today..."
Before he could finish, the familiar light screen reappeared on the desk.
Senju Tobirama glanced at the time first.
Well, it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening.
[Hi hi hi~ This is an additional video. ]
[Here's what happened. This morning, a courier called me and said that my package had arrived.]
[The problem is, I haven't bought anything online recently. I even opened the shopping app on my phone, but it didn't show any recent purchases.]
[It wasn't until I asked the courier that I found out the recipient listed on the delivery note was my name as a content creator.]
[Only then did I realize that my fans had sent me something. ]
[Ahahaha, I never expected that a newbie content creator like me would have fans sending gifts.]
[Well, without further ado, let's go pick up the package now! ]
