My Celestial Ascension Chapter 1017: Selling Gold

Yuan told the others to wait for him, but Anna Grace wouldn’t let him out of her sight and followed him closely.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Yuan," Ryan said after arriving at his office, pointing toward the sofa.

Yuan nodded and sat down on the sofa. Anna Grace sat next to him, maintaining a calm composure.

The receptionist placed the gold coins and the jewelry set on the table, then stood behind Ryan.

"This is quite a huge sum of gold you’ve got there, Mr. Yuan. However, I don’t recognize these gold coins." Ryan said as he picked up a gold coin and examined it under a magnifying glass.

"They don’t carry any antique value. Weigh them and pay me according to the current market value of gold," Yuan replied, maintaining a calm expression.

"Great! However, I need to check the purity of the gold and its weight." Ryan said with a smile before turning toward the receptionist.

"Bring the device and check the purity." He said to her.

The receptionist immediately brought the device and checked the purity.

"Sir, it’s 24K gold with no impurities at all!" The receptionist said, looking surprised.

"What?! Let me see the reading!" Ryan immediately got up from the sofa and looked at the device scanning the gold coins, shocked by the result.

’Impossible! Even 24K gold contains some impurities, yet this gold contains none at all!’ He screamed inwardly, seemingly in disbelief.

The reading showed a purity of 99.9999999999%+, which shouldn’t be possible. No ordinary person should have gold of such incredible purity in their possession.

After checking the reading several times to make sure it was accurate, he looked at Yuan with a smile.

"I’ve confirmed the purity of your gold, and it’s the highest-purity gold I’ve ever seen. That makes its exchange value far higher than normal gold." Ryan said to Yuan.

He then checked the jewelry set and found that the gold purity was the same as that of the coins.

Then he focused on the gemstones embedded in the necklace and earrings—red, pink, and blue—making the jewelry set look incredibly beautiful.

"Kailey, bring me the diamond tester." He said to the receptionist, his expression turning serious.

He then looked at Yuan and said, "Mr. Yuan, I believe the gemstones in this jewelry set are diamonds. And if they’re real, all of them are extremely valuable."

"Please, feel free to check them properly. I won’t change my mind even if they turn out to be real diamonds." Yuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan." Ryan smiled, feeling excited.

Red, pink, and blue diamonds were considered some of the most expensive diamonds in the world, even when lab-grown.

And considering the size of the diamonds on the jewelry set, they would immediately become highly sought-after if they were brought to auction.

The elite class would fight to get their hands on these diamonds, and of course, he would make a huge profit if they were the real deal.

Shortly afterward, Kailey returned, and Ryan immediately checked the gemstones with the diamond tester.

And when the results came out, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

’Dear Heavens! All these diamonds are real!!’ He screamed inwardly, excitement surging through his entire body.

There were a total of 11 red diamonds on the jewelry set, 35 blue diamonds, and 35 pink diamonds.

"Umm... Mr. Yuan. I don’t think I have the funds to buy this set of jewelry from you. It’s well over 600 million dollars. I can’t pay you that kind of money." Ryan said, wiping the sweat from his face.

"Is that so? How about the gold coins?" Yuan became a little disappointed after hearing that.

Ryan returned to his seat and said, "There are 20 gold coins, and each weighs 20 grams. The total weight is 400 grams.

"After calculating the current price and their weight, I can give you $80,000 for them. If you think I’m ripping you off, feel free to check the current price and calculate the amount yourself."

"It’s up to you to decide whether you want to sell them to us or not." He said with a smile.

"Before I decide to sell, I want to ask how much gold you can buy right now?" Yuan asked, a serious look on his face.

Ryan looked at Yuan for a couple of moments before answering, "I can buy four kilograms of gold. If you have that much gold with you, I’ll buy it immediately."

"That’s good to hear." Yuan smiled and reached his hand inside his outfit before retrieving two hundred gold coins from his System Storage.

He then placed a pouch filled with gold coins on the table with a smile.

"Here are two hundred gold coins, and the total weight is four kilograms. You’re free to verify their weight and authenticity before making the payment." He said.

"Kailey, verify all the gold," Ryan said to the receptionist with a serious look on his face.

It took half an hour to verify all the gold coins individually and weigh them. After the verification, Ryan immediately calculated the price on his calculator.

"The total amount is $514,000. Check or bank transfer?" Ryan asked Yuan with a smile.

"Bank transfer," Yuan replied and handed him his bank details.

’Now I can easily afford a bigger place to live. The cramped apartment can’t fit so many people. Even for two people, it’s quite small.’ He thought inwardly.

[Ding!]

A notification arrived on his phone, and he immediately checked it without delay.

[$514,000.00 has been credited to your account XXX879 via NEFT. Available Balance: $514,030.00]

A smile appeared on his face as he looked at the available balance, which was now over half a million dollars.

Just a few moments ago, he was completely broke, and now he had more than half a million dollars in his account.

"I’ve received the amount. It was a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Ryan." Yuan nodded with a smile and retrieved the jewelry set before walking out of the office.

"Dollars... What a strange-sounding currency. And why didn’t I see him giving you the money?" Anna Grace asked as soon as they left the office.

"Didn’t you notice that he made a bank transfer? The money is now in my account. I can withdraw it from the bank anytime or pay anyone online." Yuan replied with a smile, seeing the puzzled look on her face.

"Oh, I see..." Anna Grace nodded her head, feigning understanding.

Yuan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, you’ll get used to everything slowly. This world is highly developed technologically. These things are very new to you—to all of you."

"Once we buy a bigger place for us to live in, I’ll explain the internet to you all."

"Mmm." She nodded with a smile.

When they arrived in the lobby, they saw many people surrounding Emma and the others, phones in their hands.

"Can you take a picture with me, please?" A girl approached Mireya with sparkling eyes, pointing her camera at her.

But before Mireya could refuse, she noticed Yuan and Anna Grace’s arrival and immediately approached them.

"How did it go? Did you manage to sell the gold?" She asked.

"We did. And we got a large sum of money in exchange." Anna Grace replied before Yuan could say anything.

The girl with the phone stared at Mireya in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that this woman had just ignored her over a man.

’How is this possible? I’m one of the top streamers in Metro City, and that girl just ignored me?!’ The girl thought, seemingly unable to believe it.

’People would line up just to take a picture with me... How is this even possible?’ She screamed inwardly.

However, Yuan and the others completely ignored her and left the jewelry shop after finishing their business.

Yuan then took them to a shopping mall. Their outfits looked like cosplay to everyone else, and they attracted a lot of attention from the public.

After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at one of the biggest malls in Metro City.

Anna Grace and the others were amazed by the sheer size of the mall.

"Just what is this place? Didn’t you say that we’re going to buy clothes?" Lily asked, a dazed look on her face.

"This is a mall, where you can buy almost anything. Think of it as a massive marketplace inside a giant building." Yuan replied.

However, just as they entered the mall, countless people immediately began filming them with their phones.

"Wow! Look at those people cosplaying! They look so natural!"

"They are so professional that they look like real elves and beastfolk from a fantasy world!"

"Look at that handsome man! He is just too handsome!"

"And look at that woman... She is huge! And it matches her character as an ogre!"

"I need to post this online! I want to show those flimsy cosplayers what real cosplay is!"

Whispers immediately filled the shopping mall as people forgot what they were doing and started taking pictures of Yuan’s group.

Yuan and the others ignored them completely, as if those people didn’t exist at all.

Shortly afterward, they arrived at the section where premium-quality clothes were being sold.

"Welcome, dear customers. What kind of clothes are you looking to buy?" One of the salespeople greeted Yuan’s group with a smile on her face.

"I want you to help them choose their clothes. Show them your best clothes." Yuan said to the salesperson, pointing at Anna Grace and the others.

"Certainly, sir." The salesperson nodded with a smile and turned toward Anna Grace and the others.

"Please follow me. I’ll show you the best clothes for you all."

Anna Grace and the others nodded and followed the salesperson.
