Planar Trash

There were four people standing at the door, and the one standing at the front was an elderly man in his 60s with gray hair and a thin face.The old man was accompanied by a handsome and handsome uncle.

Standing behind them are two bodyguards in casual clothes. They are both in their early thirties, with very energetic short hair, sharp and energetic eyes, and military boots on their feet. They look very capable. There is a faint military demeanor in the room.

Li Zhan glanced at the two people behind him, his face was full of vigilance, and his body automatically entered the state of preparation for battle.

"Who are you looking for?" Li Zhan asked.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Cheng Jingchi there?" It was the very handsome middle-aged man who spoke.

Li Zhan stood at the door with a cold face: "What's the matter?"

"This..." According to the information, isn't Cheng Jingchi a 26-year-old young man with a gentle appearance?The person in front of him has nothing to do with gentleness no matter if he looks horizontally or vertically, left or right, but his temperament is similar to that of the two troops behind him.

The middle-aged man subconsciously glanced at the old man beside him, as if asking for his opinion, the other party nodded invisibly, and then continued, "We have something to ask Mr. Cheng, is he at home?"

When Cheng Jingchi heard that they were looking for her, she poked her head out from behind the sofa and asked, "Li Zhan, who is it?"

The middle-aged man followed the voice and looked over, his face relaxed, and he found the right owner.

Li Zhan frowned, took half a step forward without any trace, blocked the half-open door tightly, and said without looking back: "I don't know."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "I am Wei Hongwen from the Jinyu Center of the Quality Inspection Institute. I have something to talk to Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Jingchi hid behind the sofa and tidied up her clothes. After regaining her pre-adult dog-like appearance, she came out from behind the sofa and said, "Come in."

Li Zhan stepped aside, and the four walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, Wei Hongwen felt refreshed. The exhaustion from a busy day disappeared, and his whole body exuded a relaxed atmosphere from inside to outside.

This room smells so good!

Wei Hongwen was a little puzzled. The two plainclothes bodyguards behind him had already rushed in and looked around carefully. They turned over the sofa cushions and nodded to Wei Hongwen and the old gentleman before they sat down.

Cheng Jingchi: "..."

His house is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, so do you need to be so careful?

Cheng Jingchi rolled her eyes secretly, but said enthusiastically, "Please sit down, I'll make tea."

Li Zhan crossed his arms and sat on the side with a big horse, staring at the four people's every move, especially the two plainclothes bodyguards, who paid special attention to them.

These two people were very skilled and also armed with weapons. He smelled the long-lost smell of blood from the two of them, and it was obviously not a good thing.Now is the time when his cultivation base is the lowest and his defenses are the weakest, so he has to be more cautious, knowing that besides himself in this room, there is also a boyfriend he found with great difficulty who needs his protection, and he can't be careless.

Cheng Jingchi made some tea, put it on the coffee table, and said, "This is the tea my grandfather made himself. Although it's not a rare tea, it has a unique flavor. Try it."

The bodyguard wanted to follow the same pattern to try the tea first, but was stopped by the old man.

He picked up a cup of tea, sniffed it under his nose, and exclaimed, "Good tea."

Cheng Jingchi sat down beside Li Zhan, looking at the four of them suspiciously, in a daze.

It's so late, and I don't know what these mysterious looking guys are doing when they come to the house to find him.

Seeming to see his doubts, the old gentleman smiled and said: "You take the liberty to come here, I haven't introduced myself yet, my surname is Zhang, Zhang Donglai."

Zhang Donglai?Have not heard.

Cheng Jingchi hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, hello, I don't know why Mr. Zhang is here?"

He didn't think there was anything worth visiting in his own three-acre land.The people from the Quality Inspection Office came so late, it must not be to visit his new house.

Zhang Donglai put down the teacup and coughed. The two bodyguards understood and retreated. Wei Hongwen took out a metal box from his pocket and put it on the coffee table.

Cheng Jingchi: "..."

What's this?The atmosphere is so serious!

Cheng Jingchi's face was calm, but her heart was very disturbed. The curiosity in her heart had already broken through the sky, and she instantly made up [-] words about what might happen next.

Wei Hongwen opened the box, revealing the silver pieces inside.

Cheng Jingchi glanced at it, and felt that the silver piece looked familiar, and took another look, ho, isn't it the one that she took for appraisal?

You can't go wrong with that weird shape.

"Is there something wrong with this silver?" Cheng Jingchi asked very nervously.

This silver nugget fell from a different world through the vortex portal. Li Zhan told him before that it was ordinary precious gold and silver. Ordinary people used it as currency for circulation, and it was of no use to warriors.It was because Li Zhan had confirmed it in advance that he dared to take it to a laboratory to test its purity and then sell it.

Could it be that there is something wrong with this silver block?

Is there radiation or alien eggs?He had put it in his pocket before, so he didn't know if it was infected.

Cheng Jingchi suddenly became nervous, and stretched out his hand from his sleeve to hold Li Zhan quietly.Li Zhan turned his face away, and squeezed him reassuringly.

Looking at Li Zhan's calm face, Cheng Jingchi's heart suddenly became calm.

He didn't steal or rob, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Old Mr. Zhang and Wei Hongwen were all focused on the small metal box on the coffee table, and did not notice their small movements in private.Wei Hongwen and Zhang Donglai exchanged glances, and finally Wei Hongwen said: "Today, Mr. Cheng sent several samples of precious gold and precious stones to the Quality Inspection Institute, and the results have been tested. The purity of the gold is very high, reaching 99 points. More than nine hundred and ninety-nine ninety-nine ninety-nine, this is the first time I have seen such high-purity raw ecological gold in the Gold and Jade Center for so many years."

"Oh." If he had heard that the purity of gold was so high before, Cheng Jingchi would have been very happy, but now his heart couldn't help but lift up, and he always felt that this person was called Wei Hongwen, and he would definitely say "but" next, and that "but" The content is the main purpose of their visit today.

"However, this silver component is a bit strange." Sure enough, Wei Hongwen's tone changed when he changed the subject. He stared at Cheng Jingchi unblinkingly, and said very seriously, "I have a question. Where did you get the silver?"

Cheng Jingchi thought that there was something wrong with the gold she sent over, but she didn't expect it to be the most inconspicuous silver nugget. She paused and said, "The silver nugget was when I went to Lop Nur with my classmates when I was in college. Obtained from it. Strange ingredients? Why is it so strange?"

What Cheng Jingchi said was half true and half false. When I was in college, there was a classmate who was from Jiangcheng. One year during the summer vacation, the school had to conduct a field trip, so he went to Jiangcheng with a few classmates from the same dormitory, and went to Lop Nur by the way. to explore.I went there with great enthusiasm, and finally came back disheartened.

At that time, they also encountered a team of local people who went to Lop Nur to search for gold mines. They followed them for a few days, but because the conditions were too bad and their supplies were not enough, they came back early. .

He really can't tell the specific origin of the silver now, so he can only push this to the trip to Lop Nur. Anyway, that place is sparsely populated, mysterious and weird, and it's not unusual to find some weird things.

When Lop Nur was mentioned, Zhang Donglai's face became visibly excited, and he couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "Did you find this silver in Lop Nur? Where did you find it? Do you remember the specific place?"

Cheng Jingchi thought to himself, he just went to Lop Nur with someone, and he just did what other people said the whole time. That ghostly place was full of deserts and saline-alkali lands. Without a guide, he couldn't even tell the north from the south. How could he remember? Where exactly have you been?

Besides, his silver nuggets were not found in Lop Nur at all, he just made up a random reason, how can he get over the lie.

"I don't really remember, we found a local guide to take us there." Cheng Jingchi shook her head honestly.

"Guide?" Zhang Donglai and Wei Hongwen glanced at each other, and Wei Hongwen still asked, "Do you remember the name of that guide? Where did you hire it?"

Cheng Jingchi recalled it for a while, and said: "It seems that his name is Ake Ahong. He is a local gold prospector. He often pans for gold in the Lop Nur area. He is very familiar with the nearby landforms, so we asked him to be a guide."

At that time, there were indeed many gold diggers, and some people actually found gold, but more people just worked hard in vain.

While he was talking, Wei Hongwen was recording something quickly, Cheng Jingchi was a little guilty, afraid that what he said would make too many mistakes, and asked, "Is there something wrong with that silver coin?"

Fortunately, the silver nugget he took for identification was only a small piece. He said he got it when he went to Lop Nur. Although it sounds a bit fantasy, it is not impossible. A classmate got lucky and picked up a small piece of silver the size of a tailnail, which was regarded as a lucky charm by that classmate. He took it to a gold shop and specially set it with a gold chain, and set the silver nugget as a pendant.

Wei Hongwen didn't answer his question, but asked him repeatedly about the origin of the silver nuggets. After confirming that Cheng Jingchi hadn't concealed it, he said, "How many of these silver nuggets have you picked up in total?"

"There's one more thing, I'll get it to you."

As Cheng Jingchi said, she got up and went to the bedroom, opened the cabinet, took out a small piece of silver from the storage bag under the cover of the cabinet door, handed it to Wei Hongwen and said, "That's all, I almost forgot about it. It was only when I moved house that I remembered."

Wei Hongwen took the silver ingot, handed it to Zhang Dongya beside him respectfully, and said, "Old Zhang, take a look."

Zhang Donglai weighed the silver piece in his hand, took out his glasses from his pocket, put it on, looked at the silver piece carefully for a long while, and said, "I'm not sure, I'll know after the appraisal when I go back."

Cheng Jingchi asked curiously, "Isn't this silver? Is there something strange about it?"

He was really curious, and he never thought that Li Zhan would still miss him.

Wei Tongwen glanced at him with a half-smile, half-seriously and half-jokingly warned him: "Knowing too much is not good for you."

Cheng Jingchi understood, and immediately made a zipper motion to her mouth, and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to know at all, there are so many silver coins, take them all, and don't tell me whatever it is."

Wei Hongwen laughed, turned to Zhang Donglai and said, "Old Zhang, it's getting late, or let's go first."

Zhang Donglai couldn't put it down holding the silver nugget, Wei Hongwen urged him twice before getting up from the sofa.

Cheng Jingchi saw that he liked her tea very much, so she wrapped a pack for each of them with a wink, and then sent them away like a plague god.

The four went downstairs and got into the car. Wei Hongwen held the tea bag in his hand and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you think what this young man said is true?"

Zhang Donglai squinted his eyes for a long time before saying, "Little slippery man doesn't tell the truth."

Wei Hongwen: "..."

"He certainly didn't tell the truth about where the silver came from, but it seems that he really doesn't know anything about Mithril."

Wei Hongwen listened, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "I think so, if he knew about Mithril, he would definitely not show it for identification with such a big fanfare."

And after getting the mithril nugget in the afternoon, he checked Cheng Jingchi's background, and observed all the small things as big as sesame and mung bean in the eight generations of ancestors under the microscope.

Cheng Jingchi's background is very simple, but the young man next to him is a bit unpredictable, as if he appeared out of nowhere, and there was no news before, which is a bit suspicious.

"Do you think he mentioned Lop Nur casually just now, or did he know something?" Zhang Donglai seemed to be asking Wei Hongwen, and also seemed to be talking to himself.

Wei Hongwen considered it carefully, and said, "Cheng Jingchi did go to Lop Nur with her roommate when she was in college. It's not surprising that young people are more adventurous."

Zhang Donglai squinted his eyes and looked out the window, rubbing a small piece of mithril in his hand.

Light as a feather, firm as a dragon scale.

Stronger than steel, more malleable than bronze, polishable like glass, yet light as a feather.

Is this a miracle of nature, or a product of other interstellar civilizations?
