Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 8 Silver

?"This is a freaking SILVER DOLLAR!"

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

"There is no doubt that it is a silver dollar!"

Liu Yong concluded, even though the appearance changed due to its immersion in the lake indefinitely.

The blackening of the surface is because of its exposure to the water, but Liu Yong is confident in his assessment regardless.

However, despite the discoloration, Liu Yong is sure that the object is a silver dollar based on its size, shape, design, and other features. These characteristics match those of a traditional silver dollar, leading Liu Yong to confirm it is silver.

" It's still a piece of Yuan Datou! "

Liu Yong appraised the coin's value to be around two or three hundred yuan and was pleased with his assessment.

The estimate is, based on various factors, such as the rarity of the coin, its historical significance, and the current market demand for such items.

Holding the silver dollar in his hand, Liu Yong looked at it with a sense of satisfaction, proud of his ability to identify and value the coin.

"Little snapping turtle, doing well."

The small snapping turtle asked its master,

"Is this object valuable?" expressing his curiosity about the coin that Liu Yong was holding.

Liu Yong confidently replied, "Certainly."

"This is a silver dollar from the time of the Republic of China. Coins like this can fetch a minimum of two or three hundred yuan due to their historical significance and rarity."

Once he finished speaking, Liu Yong silently lamented that the quantity of the coins was too small, with only one piece in his possession. He thought having three, five, or even a dozen pieces would be fantastic.

To Liu Yong's surprise, the small snapping turtle spoke again, saying,

"Master, there are many of these objects under the lake."

"What?"

"There are many!"

Liu Yong immediately lifted his spirits,

"Hurry up, grab them all for me."

"Okay, no problem!"

The little snapping turtle seemed to be very happy too. It turned around and swam toward the middle of the lake.

If Liu Yong can see the situation at the bottom of the lake, he will be pleasantly surprised.

The turtle's revelation had followed by another,

"This is a large clay pot that lies in the mud at the bottom of the lake, probably damaged a long time ago."

This additional information adds a new aspect to the situation and raises further questions.

The presence of a large clay pot, possibly damaged, could hold even more valuable items.

The turtle's revelation has led to the discovery of many silver dollars, and these coins' origins remain a mystery.

Additionally, it was unknown who had hidden the treasure and why.

Maybe a rich man, a merchant, or a dignitary.

Shenhai City is a big city with a long history. It was one of the big cities in the country during the period of the Republic of China, and there were rich people at the time.

"Silver dollars are awesome!"

Liu Yong said: "Little snapping turtle, bring me those silver dollars one by one, I want to take them all back."

"Okay, master."

The small snapping turtle then swam to the bottom of the lake, returning in just a few minutes, despite not being in the deepest part of Ink Lake.

It had several silver dollars in its mouth, and its two front paws grabbed several silver dollars.

The fact that the snapping turtle already weighs more than a dozen catty is an advantage, as it can carry multiple silver dollars at once. It makes the turtle an excellent porter, assisting Liu Yong in getting valuable items.

The turtle's weight and strength make it well-suited for its role as a helper. The presence of the turtle, with its unique abilities and skills, adds an extra element of excitement and possibility to Liu Yong's adventure. He will make the most of its capabilities as he continues his exploration of Ink Lake.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...…..

Liu Yong brought eight silver dollars and stored them all in his backpack. He was pleased with his acquisition and thought he could earn a substantial profit again.

"Master, there are many more, I will go get them for you."

"What!"

"There are a lot more!!"

In other words, the silver dollars it brought are worth far more than just a dozen yuan. It could be worth dozens or even hundreds of yuan.

As expected, the small snapping turtle approached within a few minutes with an additional seven to eight silver dollars.

Each time the little snapping turtle brought seven or eight silver dollars, it was unclear how many trips it would make.

Liu Yong retrieved a net bag and gave it to the turtle to make things easy.

Within a few minutes, the little snapping turtle returned from the lake.

Unlike the previous two times, this time, it held the net bag in its mouth, which contained dozens of silver dollars.

Happy!

So many silver dollars!

Liu Yong quickly looked around and felt relieved when he saw no one was paying attention. He took the net bag and poured all the silver dollars into his backpack.

" The action is so fast, so swift!"

The fact that these silver dollars had in mud and moisture doesn't make a difference.

After handing the net bag filled with silver dollars to the small snapping turtle, Liu Yong went back and forth several times to collect them.

At this point, his backpack was quite heavy.

It feels so heavy!

After watching the little snapping turtle swim away, Liu Yong left Mohu lake with his backpack on his back, and now he must go home immediately.

Ink Lake Park is a public park accessible to all citizens, with no entry cost.

Of course, Liu Yong didn't exit through the main entrance. He left from a less crowded area and promptly returned home.

Along the way, someone noticed that Liu Yong was carrying a heavy backpack, and there seemed to be water dripping out, but they just took a second look and didn't look anymore.

"When I was downstairs, I happened to meet the landlord."

"Xiao Liu, the rent will have to be paid in a few days, and I will come to collect the rent at any time."

If there is no money, Liu Yong will be under much pressure and may beg the landlord for a few more days, but not now.

With a relaxed face and no pressure, Liu Yong said

"No problem, you can come to collect the rent anytime."

After speaking, Liu Yong went upstairs with this heavy backpack.

The landlord looked puzzled. Xiao Liu seemed to be unemployed and hadn't found a job. Does he have money to pay the rent?

"Why is it so easy?"

The landlord initially thought that Liu Yong would say something nice, but he didn't know.

After entering the house, he remembered to lock the door, found a basin, and poured all the silver dollars into the plastic basin.

Wow!

The pot was almost complete, and it looked so gratifying.

Liu Yong gazed at the silver dollars with immense happiness and washed them thoroughly several times with fresh water. Once they were clean, he used a dry towel to dry them off.

While drying these silver dollars, he hummed happily.

"It doesn't matter if you are tone-deaf. There is no one else here anyway."

Liu Yong thought.

The dried silver dollars were on the table. After having dried all the silver dollars, Liu Yong counted them and looked carefully again.

The appearance of each silver dollar is not bad, the pattern is visible, but there is a thin oxide layer on the surface, which is a little black and not bright.

There are 326 yuan, most of which are Yuan Datou, and a few Guangxu silver dollars, about a dozen yuan.

Liu Yong organized, classified, and put them in the cabinet.

After finishing all this, Liu Yong thought, what is the market price of silver dollars now? Each one is worth at least two or three hundred yuan.

A total of 326 yuan is not a small amount of money. He got another amount in his account.

"I just harvested a gold chain last time. How long has it been since I harvested so many silver dollars?"

"It's not bad to have such a pet snapping turtle!"

"Is this considered cheating?"

Sat down comfortably, took out his mobile phone, and Liu Yong began to check the market of silver dollars on the Internet.

If you don't check, you don't know, but if you prevent it, you will be shocked!

Liu Yong never imagined that silver dollars would become so valuable now.

For example, the price of a Yuan Datou, which was previously worth two or three hundred yuan, has now been sold for as much as a thousand yuan on certain treasure websites.

Also found out the purchase price of silver dollars, ranging from two to three hundred to more than one thousand.

Yuan Datou is classified into three years of the Republic of China, five years of the Republic of China, eight years of the Republic of China, etc., and the prices differ.

Yuan Datou, issued in the eighth year of the Republic of China, is the most expensive. The purchase price is generally above 1,000, and the seller of an absolute treasure sells for more than 2,000.

"My God, Yuan Datou is so valuable!"

Liu Yong needs to be more explicit about how much a Yuan Datou is worth on earth, but the price he found on his mobile phone now is a shock.

Initially, Liu Yong thought they were worth two or three hundred yuan each.

"It's so valuable,"

He thought to himself.

Incidentally, besides Yuan Datou, Liu Yong also had a dozen Guangxu silver dollars. He wondered what their prices were.
