Chapter 624: Chapter 287: The Warrior
He looked at Allen Zhang with shock again, “Can this kind of person really be a boss? And make money?”
Annoyed, Allen Zhang got out of the car and said, “Buddy, you were the one playing dumb with me first. Where’s your meteorite? And why are you wearing these clothes? Do you think you’re in outer space? There’s no CIA, no FBI, and no aliens here!”
“I beg to differ, there are definitely aliens in this world!” the old man insisted stubbornly.
“Alright, you’re right, I’m actually an alien, now take out that damn meteorite, I’m here to retrieve it.” Allen Zhang couldn’t help but laugh with exasperation. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novᴇlfire.net
“You’re an alien? Oh! Shit! I knew this day would come, I just knew it! Are you all aliens disguised as humans? I knew that human civilization has been occupied by aliens! You control the world’s economic development, enslave humanity, leading to our utter ruin! Normal people like me can only farm in the countryside!” The old man was shocked and started rambling desperately with a look of despair.
I don’t even know if he’s normal or not.
Allen Zhang and the others were all at a loss for words.
But in the end, the old man still led them to the storage room, unlocked the door, and took out a dark meteorite with golden spots on it.
“So this is the meteorite you picked up? You found it on your own farm?” Allen Zhang looked at the meteorite in astonishment. It was a stony-iron meteorite called an Imilac.
Stony-iron meteorites are a type of meteorite primarily composed of iron and nickel, usually containing a small amount of stony material. They often have a high density and magnetic properties, which makes them easily detected during geological surveys.
Someone once dug up a stony-iron meteorite in the deserts of Chile, and it seemed to have auctioned for several hundred thousand dollars.
The price of meteorites can vary greatly depending on their type and rarity. Common meteorites might sell for a few tens of dollars per gram, while rarer species could fetch between 4000-8000 dollars per gram. The average price for a stony-iron meteorite is around 500 dollars per gram.
As for the stony-iron meteorite in front of them, which was about the size of a cantaloupe and probably weighed around 400 grams, with its golden spots, the specimen was of above-average quality. Its market valuation would generally be moderate, ranging from 150 to 300 dollars per gram.
“I really did dig out this meteorite on my own farm, and I saw a UFO. It seemed cursed; every time I go out, strangers greet me—they must all be pseudo people, trying to take this meteorite from me!”
The old man still suspected the visitors were not human. “What are you planning to do with this meteorite? Will it pose a danger to human survival?”
“Weren’t you the one who asked us to come and collect it?” Allen Zhang was speechless.
“Don’t worry, we won’t threaten human safety,” Allen Zhang reassured him: “How much do you want to sell this meteorite for?”
“It’s priceless! If you want to purchase it, it has to be at least half a million dollars!” Gordon said.
After some consideration, Allen Zhang did not try to dampen his enthusiasm but patiently explained: “You might not be aware of the market price for meteorites. Your stony-iron meteorite weighs 412 grams, and its quality is relatively common, with a market price of about 200 dollars per gram. I can offer you a recycling price of 220 dollars per gram, which comes to 90,620 dollars. Think about it.”
Gordon immediately refused: “This price is too low, I can’t accept it. Why can’t you aliens be a bit more generous? Just 90,000 dollars to buy this rare meteorite?”
“Aliens don’t have surplus grain at home either,” Allen Zhang said irritably, “That’s the market price. Wait, I mean, do you want to keep it until the CIA and FBI come to take it from you, cruelly kill your dog, and not give you a single cent? Or do you want to sell it to me, get dollars, and safety? Do you want to see that happen?”
The General Sect Leader decided to fight fire with fire.
To deal with an abnormal person, one must use abnormal methods.
Indeed, this tactic worked, as Gordon was scared stiff. His expression changed as he handed over the meteorite like a hot potato to Allen Zhang, “Okay, 90,000 dollars, I’ll give it to you, you must ensure my safety. The meteorite is yours; give me the dollars, and this matter is no longer my concern. Are there aliens within the CIA and FBI too? Are you rivals?”
“That’s right, you’ve made the correct decision, Mr. Gordon.”
Allen Zhang watched as the old man acted a bit off. Not wanting to overdo it, he assured: “I promise you on the honor of the Goku Star people, as long as you hand over the meteorite to us, this matter will definitely not involve you. You can spend that large sum of money freely! No CIA, no FBI will harass you!”
“Goku Star, is there such a planet?” The old man was a bit puzzled.
“Of course there is. We’ve even taken Earthlings like you to visit our Goku Star. Our planet’s civilization and physical form are highly advanced, we’ve already entered the field civilization era; everything on our planet is virtual, no disputes, no fighting, and we’ve also achieved instant teleportation. And you Earthlings are still using electrical civilization.”
Allen Zhang spun his tale with a straight face, leaving the old man completely flabbergasted.
Then he had Dominic transfer the money, and the old man provided his account info. He quickly received the huge sum of 90,000 dollars.
