Chapter 172 System Repairing
"Your life is more comfortable than mine."
Sitting on the sofa, stroking Duobao's neck, Su Xiaofan found that its fur became more and more supple, and now it feels very good to touch.
These days when Su Xiaofan is in seclusion, every once in a while when he wakes up, he will feed Duobao a drop of monkey wine.
So during this period of time, Duobao is also in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, evolving itself with the help of the medicinal power of monkey wine.
"Meow..."
Duobao rubbed his head against Su Xiaofan, and after showing affection with his tongue was rejected by Su Xiaofan several times, Duobao gave up that kind of intimacy.
Turning on the phone, Su Xiaofan looked at the missed calls, there were calls from the teacher, younger sister, and Brother Gang. As for the caller that didn't display the caller number, Su Xiaofan estimated that it was most likely from his father.
Sure enough, after Su Xiaofan called back, the other party couldn't get through, and the master's phone couldn't get through either. This meeting should have entered the restricted area again.
After listening to his sister talking about how solid his cultivation was, Su Xiaofan felt that he was slowly returning to society.
I don't know if it's because of cultivation, or because of long-term seclusion without contact with the outside world. Su Xiaofan feels that the gap between himself and society is getting bigger and bigger.
So after calling Brother Gang, Su Xiaofan immediately agreed when he heard Brother Gang calling him to go out to eat hot pot.
After driving for more than 40 minutes, Su Xiaofan returned to Luochuan City, which is familiar but a little strange.
"Oh, Brother Gang, did you really find me a sister-in-law?"
As soon as he entered the hot pot restaurant, Su Xiaofan saw Brother Gang sitting with his secretary and translator, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but tease him.
"Your brother and I are not young, we will get married after the Chinese New Year!"
Zheng Dagang has such a thick skin, he doesn't care about Su Xiaofan's teasing at all, on the contrary, the girl's face turns red.
"By the way, I brought you the meteorite."
Zheng Dagang took out a bag and handed it to Su Xiaofan, saying: "I have received four meteorites in total. People who collect these things are generally unwilling to sell them, and there are too few up for auction."
"Four dollars is not a lot, thanks for your hard work Brother Gang." Su Xiaofan took it with a smile, without looking at it face to face, and directly put it into the backpack he brought.
"The four meteorites cost a total of more than 24 million..."
"Brother Gang, you don't need to tell me these things."
Su Xiaofan waved his hand, interrupted Zheng Dagang's words, took out a card and handed it to him, and said: "If there is not much money in the company's account, you can use this card to swipe the money, and you can get it out if it is less than 50 million." .”
This card was given to Su Xiaofan by Aunt Mei. He has paid for hotel room fees a few times in total, and it is useless to keep it on him. It is better to give it to Brother Gang for consumption.
"No, it's not that I don't have money."
Zheng Dagang shook his head and said: "The company still has tens of millions in the account, and there is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, the spring auction will start again, and then we will have a large amount of money in the account. "
When it came to the company’s business matters, Zheng Dagang was a little excited. The ancient jades that Su Xiaofan handed over to him were all top quality, basically it didn’t take much effort, so he negotiated with the auction house for a special auction in the spring of next year.
Now that the auction house's publicity has been released, almost all well-known domestic collectors have received the auction house's catalog, and many of them have already sent letters to the auction house to confirm their participation in the spring auction.
Moreover, the commission negotiated with the auction house has also been reduced to 2%. Now Zheng Dagang is a VIP customer of that multinational auction house, and he has a special car to receive him when he goes to London, for fear of neglecting this big customer.
"Okay, you spend the money in the company's account."
Seeing that Zheng Dagang didn't want it, Su Xiaofan put the card away.
"Brother Gang, why don't you set your wedding date for Chinese New Year."
Su Xiaofan said: "The Chinese New Year is lively, and friends from other places can go home. After the Chinese New Year, everyone else has run away. Do you want to come back again?"
Su Xiaofan must be at home for the Chinese New Year, because his father is coming back, but after the Chinese New Year, it will be hard to say, and he doesn't know what will happen.
"You are right."
Zheng Dagang turned to look at his girlfriend, "Xiaoqian, what do you think?"
"I'll listen to you." Xiaoqian smiled, but didn't talk much.
"Then let's get married during the Chinese New Year. I'll go back and talk to my parents." Zheng Dagang is also a person with his own opinions, so he made a decision immediately.
"Hey, Xiaofan, you are my best brother, you can't be stingy when you give me a wedding gift back."
Zheng Dagang said with a smile: "I knew I would have been with Uncle Jing before, but now I am too old to practice. When I give birth to a son, let him worship you as a teacher!"
"Let's wait until your son is born."
Su Xiaofan smiled and said, "Brother Gang, how about I send you and your sister-in-law to travel around the world? All expenses will be charged to my account."
"Forget about it, there is nothing good abroad."
Zheng Dagang shook his head, and said: "I'm not used to eating after going out, the food is still in our country, and I don't know what happened, I went to a foreign casino, and I was not allowed to enter..."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Su Xiaofan's eyes flickered. He did something good, so he was naturally a little guilty.
"Yes, you ask Xiaoqian, we are going to Las Vegas, we want to go in and play a few games, who knows Xiaoqian can enter, but I won't let me in!"
Zheng Dagang said indignantly: "Could it be that the US dollars my buddy took are fake? This is racial discrimination!"
Brother Gang is still able to adapt to the national conditions abroad. At that time, he yelled racial discrimination at the first time, which made the casino nervous and sent someone to communicate with him.
According to the casino, they received a prohibition order from the World Gaming Association, prohibiting Zheng Dagang from entering the casino. As for where the prohibition order was initiated, they did not explain.
"Brother Gang, it must be because you are too good at Australia Island, you won more than 100 million in one go, so the casino won't let you in."
Su Xiaofan first blamed Zheng Dagang for the reason, anyway, it was Zheng Dagang who came out to win the money that day, not himself.
"Then I'm not taking the blame for you."
Zheng Dagang said with a sigh of relief: "The gambling king can no longer enter the casino, what a pity. Forget it, I will play a little mahjong for two yuan later..."
"Brother Gang, hurry up and eat, or you will fall into the hot pot if you don't eat your face."
Su Xiaofan laughed out loud at being teased by Zheng Dagang, the estrangement between him and the society after many days of retreat was almost eliminated.
However, Su Xiaofan has to think carefully about what gift to give to Zheng Dagang. It doesn't mean much to give money, but this gift can't be taken lightly.
After eating a down-to-earth hot pot meal, Su Xiaofan went around the house his father bought and opened the windows a little for ventilation.
After returning to the villa, Su Xiaofan took out the bag in the bag, which Brother Gang spent more than 10 million to take back from abroad.
Some time ago, the meteorites absorbed a lot, Su Xiaofan didn't look at them very carefully, and with a glance, the information of a few meteorites appeared in his mind.
【Moon Meteorite: Absorbable, can it be absorbed? 】
【Glass meteorite: Absorbable, can it be absorbed? 】
【Solar Energy Storm Factor Meteorite: Absorbable, can it be absorbed? 】
【Gold-iron meteorite: Absorbable, can it be absorbed? 】
"Why is there such a long name?"
Su Xiaofan glanced at the information in his mind, suddenly froze for a moment, and hastily read it again.
"Fuck, the solar energy storm factor meteorite finally appeared again!"
Su Xiaofan impatiently picked up a fiery red meteorite the size of a thumbnail on the table.
That's right, that's it. Although the meteorite is small in size, it gives people a very special feeling.
Especially when Su Xiaofan observed it with his spiritual sense, the inside of the meteorite seemed to be densely covered with nebula, and it was moving slowly, like a starry sky in the universe, which made people feel very mysterious.
Holding the meteorite tightly in the palm of his hand, Su Xiaofan took out the mobile phone with the other hand and dialed Zheng Dagang.
"Xiaofan, did you forget something?"
Just two hours after he separated from Su Xiaofan, Zheng Dagang couldn't help being a little surprised when he received Su Xiaofan's call.
"Brother Gang, where did the smallest meteorite come from? It's the fiery red one?!" Su Xiaofan asked straight to the point, with a somewhat urgent tone.
"That meteorite was bought from a collector in London, that's how it is..."
However, Brother Gang also has a trick, and directly made a request to the international auction house, wanting to meet the meteorite collectors in London.
If it is said who knows the collectors best, it is definitely the auction house, because these collectors are their customers, and the auction house knows exactly who has good things.
Of course, high-end client auction houses would not introduce Zheng Dagang to him. The last person he brought Zheng Dagang to meet was a well-known meteorite hunter in London.
The meteorites that the meteorite hunter took out at that time did not have this fiery red meteorite, but were all relatively large, ordinary meteorites weighing tens of catties each.
Brother Gang showed a disdainful attitude towards the collection of the meteorite hunter. In the end, the meteorite hunter was also annoyed, saying that there were good things, but he was afraid that Zheng Dagang would not be able to afford the money.
Brother Gang, who had tens of millions in his account, threw the Hong Kong Island checkbook on the table at that time, saying that as long as there are rare meteorites, money is not a problem.
Finally, the meteorite hunter took out the thumb-sized meteorite and told Brother Gang that it was the most precious meteorite in his collection.
This meteorite was once sent to a national research institute for research, but so far no one has been able to decipher the material of this meteorite.
Moreover, this meteorite is extremely hard, even with water jets, lasers, and even strong acids, it cannot be broken down.
The research institute had no choice but to return the meteorite to the meteorite hunter in the end, and he collected it as a treasure.
Later, some meteorite collectors also wanted to buy this meteorite, but the price given by the meteorite hunter discouraged those collectors.
Although Brother Gang doesn’t know much about meteorites, his execution ability is absolutely super.
Su Xiaofan once said that as long as it is an extremely rare and rare meteorite, let Brother Gang take it no matter the cost.
The buddy’s asking price was a bit ruthless, and he directly called out a price of 2.2 million pounds. Brother Gang used the calculator on his mobile phone to calculate, and the price exceeded 20 million RMB.
Such a large sum of money was spent, Brother Gang originally wanted to communicate with Su Xiaofan and send him a picture to see,
But during that time, Su Xiaofan couldn't get through on the phone. In the end, Brother Gang gritted his teeth and made a decision. He lowered the price to two million pounds and made a deal with the other party.
"Xiaofan, isn't that thing expensive?"
Brother Gang felt a little uneasy. After all, Brother Gang didn’t know if he bought something worth 20 million yuan.
"It's not expensive, Brother Gang, such a thing, two hundred million is not expensive!"
Su Xiaofan said: "He doesn't have this kind of meteorite yet? Did you ask him where he got it from?"
"I asked, and he said that this thing came from a volcanic eruption..."
Zheng Dagang's answer was somewhat unexpected to Su Xiaofan, "A meteorite erupted from the volcano? Brother Gang, did that person say that?"
Although Su Xiaofan was sure that it was a meteorite, Su Xiaofan never imagined that this meteorite was actually erupted from a volcano, so it should be an authentic product of the earth.
"That's what the man said."
Zheng Dagang said: "But although he got this stone from a volcanic eruption, he can guarantee that it is definitely a meteorite. If it is not, he can refund the money."
According to the man, he got it from a piece of solidified lava when he watched the eruption of an active volcano on Tanner Island in the South Pacific a few years ago.
He said it was a gift from God, because he passed through the guardrail at that time, and wanted to observe the erupting Sur Volcano up close and feel the feeling of the hot fire waves rushing towards his face.
The volcano fulfilled his wish, a flaming lava rock erupted from the crater, fell right at his feet, and burned his pants.
In Zheng Dagang's view, the thinking of foreigners is always very strange. Although his buttocks were burned to the ground, the man put away the culprit, that is, the solidified lava rock.
Different from ordinary lava rocks, this lava rock turned out to be translucent, and this thing called a meteorite was hidden in that lava rock.
After smashing the lava rock and getting the stone, the man insisted that it was a meteorite from the universe, so he found many research institutes for identification.
It's a pity that the texture of this meteorite is too special. All the means of radiation, strong acid, aurora, and water jets have been used, but the material of this stone has not been analyzed.
There was once a research institute that wanted to buy this meteorite at a price of 200,000 pounds, but was rejected by the meteorite hunter.
The meteorite hunter believes that this meteorite is absolutely unique in the world, and he will not consider selling it for less than two million pounds.
Although foreign high-end research institutes are generally very rich, no one spends two million pounds to buy a stone that cannot be analyzed and studied.
Of course, these were all translated to him by Brother Gang’s girlfriend, and Brother Gang estimated that his words also contained a lot of storytelling elements.
In recent years, China's purchasing power has been beyond the reach of Europeans. Zheng Dagang did not lose the prestige of the Chinese, and directly won it with two million pounds.
Actually, what Zheng Dagang didn’t know was that out of the two million pounds, the staff leading the auction house took a full two hundred thousand pounds in commission.
Afterwards, the meteorite hunter opened a bottle of 1928 Johnny Whiskey to celebrate the good price his meteorite sold.
As for whether those two people regarded Zheng Dagang as a fat sheep or a winner, Zheng Dagang didn't know, he only knew that he helped Su Xiaofan collect an extremely rare meteorite.
"Xiaofan, is that meteorite very expensive?"
Hearing that he did not make a loss-making business, Brother Gang immediately felt relieved.
"Well, Brother Gang, when you withdraw 20 million from the company's account later, it will be regarded as a reward for this meteorite!"
Su Xiaofan said: "Don't refuse, and don't be polite to me. If you can still receive this kind of meteorite next time, I will give you a reward of 100 million!"
Actually, Su Xiaofan didn't expect much from Brother Gang's trip to Europe before.
On the contrary, Master Lu'an gave him a big surprise, making his repair value reach 3300 points at the highest point.
But Su Xiaofan really didn't expect that Brother Gang gave him the biggest surprise. He actually bought himself a solar energy storm factor meteorite that can upgrade the system.
"Okay, then brother, I'm not going to be polite. I just happened to go to your community to buy a house. From now on, we brothers will be neighbors."
Zheng Dagang knew that Su Xiaofan was not being polite to him, and he was not hypocritical at the moment. Although his family background was good, he couldn't stand the money he earned.
It’s only been half a year since they started the company together with Su Xiaofan. Even if the 20 million yuan is not counted, Brother Gang has already earned more than 10 million yuan.
Now Brother Gang walks with his arms crossed in front of his father. For this reason, his father who is a professor chases him all over the street with a pointer.
"Okay, I'll ask Uncle Zhao later and ask him to give you a discount."
Brother Gang is willing to live here, Su Xiaofan is naturally very happy, it is also a kind of life to brag with Brother Gang after practicing.
After hanging up Brother Gang's phone call, Su Xiaofan focused on this meteorite again.
After asking about the origin of this meteorite, Su Xiaofan knew that it would be impossible to trace the source and then find this solar energy storm factor meteorite.
In fact, not only this meteorite, but almost all rare meteorites are irreproducible and unique. To get this meteorite is already regarded as the luck of Brother Gang.
"Absorb it all."
Su Xiaofan never keeps good things overnight at Su Xiaofan's place. Putting the solar meteorites together, Su Xiaofan absorbed the other meteorites first.
【Repair value: 2580 points! 】
Seeing the information in his mind, Su Xiaofan knew that those three meteorites added 180 repair points to himself. After purifying Lei Jin Jing several times before, Su Xiaofan's repair value dropped from 3300 points to 2400 points.
【Solar Energy Storm Factor Meteorite: Absorbable, can it be absorbed? 】
"absorb!"
Su Xiaofan focused his attention on the solar meteorite in his palm, unlike last time when the system impatiently absorbed it by itself, this time at least he consulted Su Xiaofan for his opinion.
Following Su Xiaofan's order, the solar meteorite did not turn into ashes, but melted in Su Xiaofan's palm.
Even though his eyes widened, Su Xiaofan didn't understand how the melted liquid melted into his palm.
But the meteorite really disappeared, and a line of familiar words appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind.
【All things repair system: system repairing, 7%...】
"The last time it was repaired from 3% to 6%, this time it jumped directly to 7%. I don't know how much it can be repaired?"
All the information about repairing the system in my mind disappeared, only the words of this system repairing.
But Su Xiaofan is not worried, he remembers that the system repair time is not long, the last time it took only two or three days.
Moreover, this solar meteorite is only about double the size of last time, Su Xiaofan didn't expect it to restore the system to 100%.
Of course, Su Xiaofan is still looking forward to the new functions that will most likely appear after the system is repaired.
Before there was an additional function of accumulation, which greatly reduced the loss of repair value for Su Xiaofan, but this time, I don’t know what kind of surprise it will bring to Su Xiaofan.
