Chapter 23 The profit margin is too low
Chapter 23 The profit margin is too low
"Is this the end?"
"Are we really teleported back to the main plane?"
The crystal ball looked around in confusion, and spots of light of various colors appeared on the sphere.
From his birth to his sleep, Professor Yorz had experienced countless inter-dimensional teleportations.
The feeling of being pulled as if the soul was torn into lines every time it was teleported has long been deeply rooted in Professor Yorz's memory.
But this time, it seems like there is no feeling at all?
It's like it hasn't been teleported.
If it wasn't for the 7th-level spell "See Through Illusions" that was imbued in it, which could see through all illusions caused by spells below the 10th level, he would really think that he was in an illusion and had never moved.
Fang Yu ignored the chatterbox Crystal Ball, opened his backpack, took out three books and placed them on the bedside, then took out the big bag of Brownies from the bag.
Open the seal and pick up a gold coin from inside.
The gold coin felt heavy in his hand, and on the reverse were carefully carved two fine staffs that crossed in the center, with the staffs engraved with complex and delicate runes.
A delicate eye pattern is suspended just above the intersection.
On the front side is a profile of a middle-aged man, with an exquisite wavy pattern carefully engraved around the edge of the gold coin.
There are many tiny scratches on the surface of the gold coin, and traces of use and friction are very obvious.
Fang Yu found a tile used to block dust from behind the cupboard, and scratched the back of the tile with the edge of a gold coin. A light gold scratch appeared on the exposed porcelain clay.
It really seems to be gold, Fang Yu's eyes lit up.
Fang Yu measured the weight with the electronic scale he brought from the dormitory and used to weigh protein powder. The total weight of the 10 gold coins was 105 grams.
I found the measuring cup that came with the portable water purifier I bought that afternoon, filled it with 200 ml of water, and then threw 100 gold coins into the water.
Then, Fang Yu poured the water in the measuring cup that exceeded the 200 ml mark into another cup.
The electronic scale has automatically removed the weight of the measuring cup, and after pouring the water in, the weight shows 55.7 grams.
Fang Yu calculated the volume of gold. The density of gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter, so the volume of a single gold coin should be approximately equal to 0.543 cubic centimeters.
Then, the total volume of 100 gold coins should be 54.3 cubic centimeters.
The water level has now risen by 55.7 cubic centimeters, which means that even if this batch of gold coins is not four-nines pure gold, the purity will not be too bad.
I have to find time to sell this batch of gold in the next two days.
From the information just transmitted by the magic cube, I have selected the Lorin Tower as the second anchor point. If I want to go to the Lorin Tower again in the future, I will need to consume 100 units of magic crystals.
Now Fang Yu already knows that 0.1 carat is equal to 1 magic crystal, and 0.3 carat is equal to 5 magic crystals.
In other words, as long as you have 100 10-point diamonds, you can switch again and return to the Lorin Tower.
Fang Yu checked online and found that natural rough diamonds below 10 points are called broken diamonds.
Broken diamonds are basically sold by gram. If they are small broken diamonds worth less than 1 cent, they will cost only about 2000 Da Zhou coins per gram.
But if it is a broken diamond of about 10 points, it will cost 500-800 Da Zhou coins each.
Taking 10 points of broken diamonds as the benchmark, it would cost at least Da Zhou coins to start a switch to the Lorin Tower.
If the purity of these gold coins can reach more than 90%, the 458 gold browns that I brought back this time can be sold for about one million yuan based on the current recycling gold price of 248 per gram.
Two thousand percent profit.
The yield is a bit low.
We still have to reduce costs. A profit of only 2,000 percent is really shameful.
When merchants from Xibai sailed to the New World, if they didn't make 10,000% profit, it would be a wasted trip. They just discovered a new world, but I own an entire demiplane.
If we earn less than the Xibai people 500 years ago, wouldn't it be a loss of face for our Great Zhou?
It seems that I still have to find a channel to buy artificial diamonds these days. The ones I found online are too damn expensive, not much different from the price of natural diamonds.
The cultured diamond industry has only been in operation for a few years, so it is understandable that the prices are high.
As long as this thing can be artificially produced, it will definitely be sold at a very low price within a few years.
By the way, next time I will bring some small broken diamonds that cost 2000 yuan per gram, and see if they can be converted into magic crystals over there, so that the cost can be lower.
Just now the Rubik's Cube said that the conditions for opening the anchor point are met. What are these conditions?
Is it because I got the Core of Eselon?
Or is it because he brought back materials from another world to the Blue Planet?
Then I brought back three books last time, why didn’t the conditions for opening them be triggered?
Also, damn, the house was rented too early.
Fang Yu was thinking secretly in his heart, but he saw Professor Jorz walking around the room quietly.
"What a shabby residence! It's not even as big as the bathroom in the Senator's residence in Nasri on the Leyton Plane. It seems like you're not doing well in the main plane?"
"Ah, there aren't any defensive runes or arcane traps. Aren't you afraid of the invasion of assassins from the shadow plane?"
Professor Jorz's color returned to a light yellow color, he seemed to be in a good mood, and his master stopped barking.
"Is it night time now? Oh~ This lighting lamp is not a magic item, but an alchemical item? It's a very nice gadget."
"Wow~ Your living environment is too crowded, isn't it? Look at the lights outside. Is this the main plane 16,000 years from now? Which planet in the main plane is this?"
"Hmm... what's that running on the road? Wow, those buildings in the distance are so tall. Are there such tall buildings in the main plane now? Why is there no magic network fluctuation here? Doesn't such a big city even have a protective magic circle?"
"Hey, Professor Yortz needs at least one magic crystal every day, you'd better save a few more in advance... Ugh! Oh oh oh oh!"
Before Professor Jorz could finish his words, a layer of electric light suddenly appeared on his body, making him feel numb all over. He was completely unable to control the wizard's hand and fell from mid-air into Fang Yu's hands.
"What were you talking about just now?"
Fang Yu sneered and threw Professor Yorz on the sofa.
"When Sekalis created you, did he give you the memory of a fish? You forgot who your master is so quickly."
Professor Yorz's body was filled with a bright white color indicating shock. "You have already mastered the Etheron Core? How is it possible so fast? That thing requires at least 18 units of mental strength~"
Fang Yu frowned, and a layer of electric light appeared on the crystal ball again. Professor Jorz even began to make electric music.
This ball is indeed not that honest.
But fortunately, at least it didn't lie, it just hid some facts.
"I was wrong! My respected great, wise, glorious, immortal master." Professor Jorz cried out.
"Please don't continue to punish your loyal Professor Yorz. Now I only have 2 units of magic crystals left in my body. If you continue to punish him, your loyal Professor Yorz will not have enough energy to serve the great master."
After the Core of Eselon entered the sea of consciousness, Fang Yu naturally knew how to punish this arrogant crystal ball.
However, each punishment will consume 1 unit of magic crystal in the crystal ball. Now there are only 5 magic crystals in Yorz's body that Fang Yu put in a few hours ago. After a few more punishments and all the magic crystals are consumed, Professor Yorz will fall into a deep sleep again.
"Come here." Fang Yu called out with a serious face, and Professor Jorz flew to Fang Yu obediently.
"In the next few days, whether I'm here or not, you must stay here. You are not allowed to go out without my permission."
Fang Yu pointed to the small two-bedroom apartment he rented and defined the area of activity for Professor Jorz.
"I'm going to read these books first. If I have any questions, I'll ask you. Just be quiet for a while."
Fang Yu leaned on the bed, planning to read all three books first.
