Chapter 356: Chapter 210: A Game Outside the Game

Ultimately, Chen finally convinced his third uncle, and around ten o’clock in the evening, returned to Chen Feng’s hotel room.

This time, Chen Feng did not inform the two women and completed the transaction alone with them.

Both pieces were bleached ox shoulder blades, indeed much larger than the previous two, more than twice the size, and the characters carved on them were also more numerous, each containing the Nameless Energy Chen Feng needed. The specific amount he didn’t know, but he could feel it, indicating it was far more than the previous two pieces.

As long as Chen Feng verified this, it was enough; he wasn’t too concerned about whether the oracle bone script was genuine or not.

Chen Feng paid equally straightforwardly, transferring six million directly via Xiu Zhou Bank’s mobile banking to the other party’s account.

Previously, he transferred three million through a national bank, and as an ordinary user, he could only go to the bank for transactions.

However, at Xiu Zhou Bank, he was a VIP of the highest level, with no transfer limits and the ability to overdraft a significant amount.

After receiving the money, Chen’s third uncle was both delighted and disappointed, sighing, "Originally, I wanted to keep these two pieces as a legacy to pass on to my grandson after my death, but now I’ve sold them, and I don’t know if it’s right or wrong."

Chen comforted his third uncle nearby, saying, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. Little Ming has his own job, enough to support himself, and now that you’ve bought him a house, renovated it, and arranged his wedding, you’ve gone above and beyond as a grandfather."

"Sigh, it’s all because his dad died early; otherwise, would I need to use up my savings?"

"Third uncle, keeping this thing at home isn’t ideal either. Now that it’s finally sold, and for such a large sum, after buying Little Ming a house and arranging his wedding, there’s enough left for you and third aunt to live out your retirement."

Upon hearing this, Chen’s third uncle finally smiled. These four oracle bones netted him nine million, though slightly less than his previous expectations, but close enough.

Most importantly, these four oracle bones were somewhat illicit, making finding a wealthy, suitable buyer really difficult.

To be able to exchange them for money this time was truly lucky for him.

"Mr. Chen, it’s truly a pleasure to meet you." Chen’s third uncle sincerely smiled at Chen Feng and then asked, "Are you interested in other artifacts? I can introduce some friends to you; they have more or less old collectibles."

While spending nine million made Chen Feng somewhat uncomfortable, he knew it was worth it for him, so he quickly asked, "Do any of your friends have any more oracle bones?"

Chen’s third uncle pondered for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, they probably don’t. After all, these items are extremely rare, and I acquired them by coincidence when young and luckily avoided several searches, keeping them until now. Of course, they might have hidden them as well, but to know for sure I’ll have to ask them. I can help inquire."

"Then I’ll trouble you." Chen Feng immediately expressed his gratitude.

"No problem. However, may I boldly ask, do you plan to auction these oracle bones?"

Chen Feng glanced at him, smiling, "You’re overthinking it. These items are no longer allowed to be auctioned. I just personally collect them out of hobby."

"Oh oh." Chen’s third uncle smiled awkwardly and then asked again, "Are you interested in other antiques? Like calligraphy, paintings, or antique porcelain?"

Chen Feng shook his head directly, "Forget about those. I’m currently only interested in oracle bone script."

Chen’s third uncle nodded in disappointment, "Alright then. I’ll ask for you after I get home and give you a reply tomorrow morning."

"Okay. I’ll trouble you then."

"No problem, it’s just a simple thing."

The two didn’t stay much longer and, after some formalities with Chen Feng, bid farewell and left.

Chen Feng held the newly acquired oracle bones, reluctant to part. He played with them for a long time before regretfully returning them to the box.

At this moment, he remembered the introduction fee promised to Chen earlier. Picking up his phone, he quickly transferred 200,000 to him.

Soon, he received a message from Chen: [Thank you, Boss, smile.jpg]

Chen Feng was unaware that after Chen and his third uncle got into the car, his third uncle asked with a heavy expression, "Why do you think he’s buying my oracle bones at such a high price?"

Chen laughed, "Uncle, don’t think too much. He paid real money to transact with you, and you’ve received it. It doesn’t matter what he does with these oracle bones."

The uncle said worriedly, "I’m just afraid he’s a relic trafficker, selling these treasures abroad. These are cultural treasures left by our ancestors."

Chen shook his head, "You’re worrying too much. He didn’t know we’d sell him these items from the start, and during the ten days I guided him, he hasn’t shown much interest in relics. Instead, he was very keen on works by modern calligraphers and photographers, buying quite a few."

The uncle nodded, "I might be overthinking it, but I always feel there’s something odd here."

"Why care? You’ve already received nine million. There’s no need to worry. If you still want to make money, help him contact friends who also have a passion for relics, see if they have any oracle bones. I’ll also look into it, and if we find some, I’m sure Mr. Chen won’t be stingy with the introduction fees."

"Honestly, how much did you pocket this time?"

The uncle was sharp, having already guessed.

Chen wasn’t surprised, laughing as he said, "Not much, just one hundred thousand."

"You’ve come to dismiss a hundred thousand now? But yes, you benefited on both ends this time."

"Uncle, this is what I deserve," Chen emphasized, "and I gave the lowest price, just fifty thousand to you."

"Alright. Don’t act innocent when you’ve benefited."

...

Chen Feng woke up the next morning before seven, feeling extremely refreshed.

Then, he immediately got up and started doing push-ups on the floor, doing fifty in one shot without panting, which led him to conclude that his stamina and arm strength had significantly improved.

He continued until he reached eighty when he started to feel exerted and short of breath.

Finally, Chen Feng completed one hundred push-ups before standing up to go to the bathroom to wash up and take a shower.

When he finished and planned to go downstairs, he received a call from Chen, saying his third uncle had an old friend who also owned several oracle bones, asking if he was interested.

Chen Feng was certainly interested and indicated to bring the person and items over now, and upon a successful transaction, he would give both Chen and his uncle a hundred thousand each as an introduction fee.

However, Chen stated that his uncle’s friend was in a rural county under A City and didn’t want to come to the city. He and his uncle had tried persuading him half the night but had no success.

Therefore, if Chen Feng truly wished to purchase, he would have to visit that village.

Chen Feng hesitated briefly then wanted to agree, but as he opened his mouth, a sudden chill ran through him, a warning surged in his mind, immediately prompting him to change his tune, "Since they’re not coming, let’s forget it."
