Book One, Zhao Fu.
Half a day later, even though there were many bronze shards, none of them were what Zhao Fu wanted, causing Zhao Fu to feel quite disappointed.
Only half a day had passed, and there were still many people who had not arrived yet. As such, Zhao Fu still felt some hope.
Arasina said caringly, "Do you want to rest for a while?"
Zhao Fu replied, "No need, it's not tiring; it's just a bit boring."
The next person was an elderly man who handed an ancient-looking bronze shard to Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu tried to sense it but could not sense anything, so he said, "I'm sorry! This isn't it. "
The elderly man gave a disappointed laugh and took the 100 gold coins and left.
Another decent-looking woman happily handed a bronze shard to Zhao Fu. However, Zhao Fu still could not sense anything, so he once again said that it wasn't it.
Within the Alliance City, Zhao Fu did not dare to sense too much, as the energy ripples he gave off were the auras of source energy. If he used this energy, his identity would be revealed. Otherwise, Zhao Fu would be able to sense countless people at once, and he would not have to do this one by one.
At that moment, a seven or eight-year-old fair-skinned and cute boy walked over to Zhao Fu and grinned as he said, "Big brother, take a look, right?"
Zhao Fu looked at the shard in the boy's hand. It was three inches long and two fingers wide, and there were traces of rust on its surface. It looked quite ancient.
After sensing it, the shard within Zhao Fu's body slightly trembled and actually reacted. This was the bronze shard that Zhao Fu had been looking for. Zhao Fu gave a delighted smile as he stretched out his hand and took the shard. He felt much more at ease and smiled as he said to the boy, "This is the bronze shard that I've been looking for!"
Everyone immediately burst into an uproar. They had never thought that someone would actually be able to find a bronze shard, which was worth one billion gold coins.
Everyone's gazes fell on the little boy, and their faces were filled with envy and jealousy. With one billion gold coins, no matter who it was, they would become rich. They could buy anything they wanted.
The little boy stood there in a daze. He had come to try and buy snacks with the 100 gold coins, but he had never thought that the Bronze Shard would be what Zhao Fu was looking for. To him, 100 gold coins was a lot, but how much was 1 billion gold coins?
Zhao Fu smiled and said gently, "Do you have more fragments like this? If there's more, I'll get a billion gold coins. "
The little boy shook his head, "No! And how much is one billion gold coins? "
Zhao Fu said with a smile, "It's a lot of money. You won't be able to spend it all. Tell me, how did you get this bronze fragment?"
The little boy looked very happy and said with a smile, "I think my father picked it up from outside. I didn't know it was what you were looking for."
Zhao Fu continued to ask, "What about your dad?"
The little boy said somewhat sadly, "My dad died a long time ago, and I'm with my mom now."
Zhao Fu wanted the little boy to tell his mother to come and get the money, but seeing the greedy gazes of everyone else, he felt that it would be dangerous for the little boy to go back by himself. As such, he smiled and said, "Where's your home? I'll give the money to your mom, and there are some things I want to ask her. "
The little boy smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright! I'll take you home. "
Zhao Fu left the matters here to Arasina and followed the little boy to his home, which was a small courtyard.
The little boy happily ran in and called out, "Mom, I'm back!"
A beautiful woman walked out of the room, and her beautiful eyes fell on Zhao Fu's body. She didn't know why Zhao Fu had come to her home.
The little boy smiled and hugged his mother with both hands.
The beautiful woman softly smiled as she asked, "Where did you go to play?"
The little boy smiled excitedly as he said, "Mom, I took father's bronze shard to the square. That's the shard this big brother was looking for. Mom, we have one billion gold coins!"
The beautiful woman looked incredibly shocked; she had heard about this before, but she had not thought much about it. She had never thought that her home would have that bronze shard, and one billion gold coins was an astronomical figure to her.
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "I'll give you one billion gold coins, but I need you to tell me some things."
The beautiful woman came back to her senses and hurriedly invited Zhao Fu into the house.
After walking in, Zhao Fu sat on a stool at the table. Just as the beautiful woman was about to bring some tea and snacks, Zhao Fu said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble!"
The beautiful woman apologetically smiled as she said, "I'm sorry, we don't have anything good to entertain you at home. If you have anything to ask, I'll tell you everything I know. "
Zhao Fu smiled as he asked, "How did you obtain that bronze shard?"
The beautiful woman thought about it and said, "I've forgotten about that. It seems that my husband found it in the ruins in the west and left it at home."
The ruins in the west were where the historical remnant had been, and Zhao Fu's guess was correct. After the historical remnant had been destroyed, some things had been obtained by nearby people.
Zhao Fu asked, "Do you have any more bronze shards like that? If you do, I'll give you another one billion gold coins. "
The beautiful woman shook her head, "Only this one; there's nothing else."
Zhao Fu felt quite disappointed and handed a spatial ring to the beautiful woman as he said, "There's one billion gold coins in here; take it."
The beautiful woman hurriedly shook her head.
Zhao Fu felt quite curious as he asked, "What is it?"
This was one billion gold coins, and even though the beautiful woman felt quite tempted, she could not keep such a large sum of money. It was possible that as soon as Zhao Fu left, someone would come to rob him, and she and her son would lose their lives. As such, she did not dare to accept it.
Moreover, compared to so much money, she had more important things to do. She called the boy over and asked, "Sir, what do you think of my son?"
Zhao Fu looked at him and replied, "He's quite lively!"
The beautiful woman respectfully bowed to Zhao Fu and said, "I hope that sir can accept my son and have him follow by your side."
A person who could casually take out one billion gold coins had an unimaginably noble status. If her son followed by his side, his future would be very bright; this was more important than one billion gold coins.
Zhao Fu lightly smiled as he looked at the beautiful woman.
Facing Zhao Fu's gaze, the beautiful woman understood Zhao Fu's meaning. She hesitated before calling the boy out.
The boy felt quite strange but still went out to play.
An hour later, the beautiful woman lay in Zhao Fu's embrace with a red face. Zhao Fu lightly smiled as he said, "You and your son can come with me! I'll agree to your request and do my best to nurture your son. "
The beautiful woman was called Huang Minmin, and her son was called Huang Ran.
Huang Minmin said gratefully, "Thank you! I'll take good care of you in the future. "
Zhao Fu smiled and nodded; he did not have any resistance towards such a beautiful woman. After being affectionate for a while, Zhao Fu brought the mother and son back to the square and continued to search for another bronze shard.
