Chapter 152 Exploring the Treasure
There are eight black markets in Beijing. If Li Qin cooperates with all of them, he will make money much faster.
However, the risks are also much greater.
Although Li Qin felt that with his current strength, ordinary risks were no longer considered risks for him.
However, to be on the safe side, he still wanted to be conservative and cautious.
At the very least, it shouldn't attract too much attention.
"Besides the black market, there might be other ways to obtain gold and silver."
A glint suddenly flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He suddenly realized that there might be some gold and silver buried underground in Beijing.
Some of these gold and silver items were left behind by officials during the Qing Dynasty to deal with unforeseen circumstances.
Some of them may have been left behind by high-ranking Kuomintang officials when they withdrew from Beijing.
It could even be funds for the activities of enemy agents.
So, if you calculate it this way, the underground of Beijing is a huge treasure trove.
"Although we can't touch the gold and silver in the bank, we don't need to worry too much about the gold and silver buried underground." Thinking of this, Li Qin's face immediately lit up with a smile.
He then began searching through the endless knowledge passed down to him for spells that could help him explore the underground.
He quickly found the spell that suited his needs;
Underground Exploration Spell.
The effect of this spell is very interesting;
It is said to have been created by a wizard in the wizarding world who was passionate about finding treasure and loved archaeology.
It can explore depths of more than ten meters underground.
Most importantly, when using this spell, you can accurately think about what you are looking for, and then the spell will accurately search for that item.
Moreover, it's still a range exploration.
After learning about the information about this curse, Li Qin felt it was perfect.
He even considered using this curse to become a tomb raider.
In this way, one can easily obtain a large amount of gold and silver.
But he soon realized that it was just wishful thinking.
Tombs that truly contain a large amount of gold and silver as burial goods are definitely buried very deep, while this curse can only be explored to a depth of about ten meters.
While it can be effective for tomb raiding, its effectiveness is definitely limited.
However, it is very suitable for exploring the gold and silver buried underground in Beijing.
Thinking of this, Li Qin didn't even bother to sleep and immediately entered the planting space to begin practicing the exploration spell.
With his current level of magic power, plus his experience in learning other spells.
Learning this exploration spell, which isn't very difficult, is naturally very easy now.
After several hours of practice, Li Qin finally raised the spell to level 4.
When using it, the casting of spells can be simplified.
Furthermore, in order to facilitate the excavation of underground treasures, Li Qin also cultivated the excavation spell to level 4.
With these two spells in hand, Li Qin was quite confident about the upcoming treasure hunt.
After practicing the spells for several hours, Li Qin was starting to feel tired.
There are only two or three hours left until dawn.
Li Qin quickly went back to his bedroom to sleep.
When he woke up, it was already past ten o'clock.
Li Qin, however, was not worried at all about being late.
It's common for the purchasing department to go to work at the steel rolling mill after 10 a.m.
Some are even more ruthless, often only working half a day, or just showing their face in the purchasing department before going straight home.
The leaders of the purchasing department were well aware of this situation.
However, they didn't say anything and all turned a blind eye.
As long as the purchasing staff can guarantee the completion of the monthly purchasing tasks, other matters can be managed more easily.
When the residents of the courtyard saw Li Qin going to work so late, they did contribute some emotional support to him.
Having decided to explore the underground of Beijing, Li Qin naturally wouldn't waste any time.
He first went to the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill to greet the leaders, making an excuse that he would be going out to purchase supplies for the next few days.
Then he left the steel rolling mill directly.
For the next few days, he no longer needed to come to the steel mill and could devote himself entirely to searching for the treasure.
As Li Qin left the steel rolling mill, he suddenly realized that if he were to openly wander around Beijing, even with a purchasing agent's work permit, he would be in trouble.
It still feels too out of place.
To avoid trouble, Li Qin simply cast another illusion spell on himself.
In this way, as long as you avoid hitting people, you don't need to worry about being noticed.
Over the next few days, Li Qin investigated the black market using flying birds while riding his bicycle around Beijing under the influence of the Illusionary Body Curse.
We explored the past, street by street.
Surprisingly, Li Qin actually discovered quite a few things underground.
Although a considerable amount of gold and silver buried underground was discovered, Li Qin did not take it all.
Some of them were clearly owned, so Li Qin did not take them.
He took almost all the gold and silver that had been buried for a long time and appeared to be unowned.
As a result, his gains were much less.
But I held firm to my bottom line.
For Li Qin, this was something more precious than gold and silver.
It's okay to have less gold and silver; there will be many more opportunities to get it in the future. But once the bottom line is crossed, it's gone.
Then there will be a second time, a third time...
Until finally, there are absolutely no bottom lines.
If things turn out that way, Li Qin will truly become a complete slave to his desires.
Although Li Qin only took a portion of the gold and silver buried underground in Beijing, it was still a considerable amount.
If all of them were refined into pure mithril gold, it should be enough to complete a portion of the alchemical items.
Although Li Qin's primary objective during the exploration was to acquire gold and silver.
But when he dug it out, he discovered that what was buried was not just gold and silver.
Jewelry, jade, antiques, and cultural relics...
There are quite a few of these equally valuable items.
Although Li Qin wasn't particularly interested, he still put them away without hesitation.
As for how to handle it, he hasn't figured it out yet.
Perhaps in the future, he will donate it free of charge, or he may choose to keep it privately, or leave it to his blood relatives and friends.
These are all possibilities.
"We've unearthed quite a bit of gold and silver these past few days, and we can try to refine it into pure gold and mithril."
After three days of digging, Li Qin still hadn't calculated how much gold and silver he had obtained.
However, after a rough estimate, it should be quite a lot.
Therefore, he intends to begin the next step of his plan.
Of course, while he will begin refining pure gold and mithril today, it doesn't mean he will give up exploring the underground of Beijing.
Li Qin prepared to proceed on both sides simultaneously, without giving up on either.
In order to refine pure gold and mithril, Li Qin ate dinner at the courtyard house after get off work for the first time, instead of going to night school.
After finishing his meal, he tidied up a bit, then closed the door, turned off the lights, and entered the planting space.
What happened next certainly couldn't be done inside the courtyard house.
As for the night school, Li Qin had already made all the arrangements in advance.
Based on the good impression Li Qin left on all the teachers.
He casually made up an excuse and successfully got the leave.
