Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 835: Chapter 836: The Rookie of the Antique World

Iron Fist felt the icy murderous intent from behind and his complexion changed as he turned around to throw a punch.

Boom!

Their fists collided once again.

This time, Iron Fist was sent flying backwards, slamming heavily onto the ground.

Iron Fist staggered to his feet, but Lin Chen was already standing in front of him.

Lin Chen reached out with his right hand and forcefully grabbed Iron Fist’s neck.

”Remember not to run wild in Huaxia in your next life.” As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, he twisted his wrist violently.

Crack!

Iron Fist’s neck was broken, and his body slumped to the ground.

The other assassins were subdued by the police and special forces who had arrived. They all looked dumbfounded at Iron Fist lying on the ground.

Everyone knew Iron Fist as an unkillable man who had never been injured, but today he was killed outright by Lin Chen.

The members of Ghost Society were all stunned, gaping at Lin Chen in disbelief.

”What kind of monster is this guy to actually kill someone like Iron Fist who was said to be unkillable?”

Lin Chen looked over at Pan Li’s body and bowed deeply to it.

Although Pan Li was somewhat arrogant, he was willing to sacrifice his life for the mission, truly a man of honor, and a genuine son of Huaxia.

At this time, Zhao Bin also came over, bowed to Pan Li’s body, then turned and said: ”Thank you, young man. If it weren’t for you, I would have been dead for sure.”

Lin Chen replied with a light smile: ”It’s nothing; this is what I should do.”

Leaving the airport, Lin Chen’s phone rang. The call was from Wang Zixuan.

Wang Zixuan chuckled: ”Mr. Lin, would you accompany me to Antique Street?”

”Antique Street? Since when did you become interested in antiques?” Lin Chen said with a smile.

”Not really, it’s my grandfather’s birthday tomorrow, and I want you to help me choose a birthday gift,” said Wang Zixuan.

Lin Chen nodded: ”Alright, but you’re treating me to a meal.”

”Please, you’re a big man; do you even need me to treat you? People from Zhonghai University wanting to take me out to eat could line up to the door. Fine, I’ll give you this chance,” Wang Zixuan replied, chuckling.

Lin Chen said, ”Where are you? I’ll come and pick you up.”

”No need; I’m already in the car, it’ll only take about half an hour to get there,” said Wang Zixuan.

Lin Chen nodded: ”Then I’ll wait for you on Antique Street.”

Antique Street wasn’t far from the airport, and Lin Chen quickly arrived there.

Checking the time, and knowing that Wang Zixuan would take a while to arrive, Lin Chen started browsing the shops by himself.

The street was filled with antiques, but few were of real value.

With the help of Tianyan, Lin Chen found that most of these antiques were replicas, with perhaps one genuine piece among a hundred.

Upon entering a large antique shop, Lin Chen immediately spotted a straw raincoat thrown on the ground.

The straw raincoat seemed ordinary, but with Tianyan’s help, Lin Chen could feel an ancient aura emanating from it.

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed as he asked the shop owner: ”Boss, how much for this raincoat?”

The owner glanced at Lin Chen and responded indifferently: ”Twenty thousand yuan. It’s yours if you want it.”

”Twenty thousand? I’ll take it,” Lin Chen nodded and said.

The owner looked at Lin Chen with a strange expression. He had just bought that item for a hundred yuan. He originally didn’t want it but felt pity for the old seller, so he took it off his hands.

Even high-quality straw raincoats wouldn’t fetch more than two or three thousand, yet this guy didn’t even blink before buying it for twenty thousand.

The store owner chuckled inwardly, thinking he had encountered a fool, and quickly had Lin Chen swipe his card to take away the worn-out straw raincoat.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s phone rang, and Wang Zixuan asked with a laugh, ”Lin Chen, where are you?”

Lin Chen responded, ”I’m at Wanbao Pavilion.”

”I’m right at the door, I’ll come in right away.” After hanging up the phone, Wang Zixuan walked in shortly after.

As soon as Wang Zixuan entered, she saw Lin Chen holding the worn-out straw raincoat.

”Lin Chen, what do you need a straw raincoat for?” Wang Zixuan asked curiously.

”Oh, I just bought it out of curiosity,” Lin Chen said with a smile.

The store owner, seeing Wang Zixuan, greeted her with a smile, ”Miss Wang, you’re here.”

Wang Zixuan smiled back and said, ”Yes, Boss Li, this is my friend. You didn’t rip him off, did you?”

”This...” Boss Li’s face turned red; not only had he ripped Lin Chen off, but he had also overcharged him considerably.

”Sir, never mind, I’ll just give you the straw raincoat as a gift and refund you the money,” Boss Li said awkwardly.

Lin Chen shook his head, ”It’s okay, I think this straw raincoat is worth it.”

Wang Zixuan asked in confusion, ”Lin Chen, how much did you pay for this straw raincoat?”

”Twenty thousand!” Lin Chen said calmly.

Wang Zixuan burst into laughter, ”Lin Chen, you’ve been scammed; this straw raincoat is worth at most five hundred.”

Boss Li was also red-faced, ”I didn’t know Mr. Lin was Miss Wang’s friend; look at the trouble this has caused.”

Lin Chen simply smiled, ”Some things may be worth a fortune to others, but if I don’t like them, they have no value to me. Some things may seem worthless in others’ eyes, but to me, they could be priceless.”

Seeing Lin Chen insist on paying twenty thousand, Boss Li had no choice and said, ”Well then, Mr. Lin, I was originally the butler for the Wang family, and with Miss and the old master’s care, I managed to open this small shop. I can’t scam my own people, so feel free to choose any item from our shop.”

Lin Chen, seeing the owner insisting that he choose an item, couldn’t well refuse. His gaze swept over a pile of antiques and pointed at a copper figure with rust spots, ”I’ll take that one.”

When Wang Zixuan saw the copper figure Lin Chen had chosen, she laughed again, ”Lin Chen, you really are a novice, you picked wrong again. That copper figure is obviously a replica and shouldn’t be worth much.”

Boss Li nodded and said, ”Miss Wang is right, I bought that copper figure for five hundred yuan.”

Wang Zixuan said proudly, ”Lin Chen, don’t go buying antiques on your own in the future, you’ll be ripped off badly.”

Lin Chen smiled lightly, ”That’s not necessarily true. This copper figure is worth at least one hundred thousand.”

”One hundred thousand? Come on, Lin Chen, stop joking around, today is not April Fool’s Day,” Wang Zixuan couldn’t help laughing.

Lin Chen calmly said, ”I’m not joking, do you have a knife here?”

Boss Li nodded, ”Of course.”

He then handed a carving knife to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen carefully pried open the copper figure, and to everyone’s surprise, there was a shiny, clear thumb ring inside.

”My god, there’s a hidden world inside!” Boss Li and Wang Zixuan were both astonished.

Boss Li carefully took the thumb ring and gently wiped it with a soft cloth, suddenly his expression changed.

”My god, it really is a jade thumb ring. Even if it’s modern, it’s worth over a hundred thousand. With this craftsmanship and considering the age, it must be worth several hundreds of thousands,” Boss Li said excitedly.

Wang Zixuan’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, having just called someone inexperienced, only to be proven wrong immediately.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”Boss, how about you give me a price for this thumb ring, I’ll buy it.”

Boss Li said, ”No, that’s not acceptable; in our antiques world, we have our own rules. Once sold, no matter the price, we never regret it.”

Seeing that Boss Li insisted on not taking any money, Lin Chen nodded and took the thumb ring, ”Zixuan, let’s consider this a birthday gift for our grandfather!”

”What ’our grandfather’? It’s my grandfather, alright?” Wang Zixuan said with flushed cheeks.
