6: Chapter 6 Return to Earth

Chen Yu was confident that with these tens of tons of gold, coupled with the scientific technology from the alien spaceship's tech library, he would definitely make a name for himself on Earth.

He was determined to become the world's richest man and, in the future, conquer the universe!

After preparing everything, Chen Yu boarded a small landing craft, carrying tens of tons of high-purity gold, and flew towards Earth.

The mothership remained on the far side of the moon.

The landing craft Chen Yu was on was also extraordinary, resembling Star-Lord's ship from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Its propulsion system utilized a miniature antimatter annihilation engine, and a single refueling of antimatter fuel could sustain operations for 100,000 years.

Although small, it was 30 meters long, with decent internal space, and, more importantly, it was equipped with alien technology weapons.

Chen Yu believed that his small landing craft alone could easily defeat the air forces of all countries on Earth.

The intelligent AI controlled the landing craft, slowly approaching Earth's orbit.

“Captain, stealth mode has been activated. Please set the docking location.”

“First, take me home. You find an uninhabited place to dock. Make sure you don't get discovered by officials.”

“Understood, Captain.”

The spaceship used stealth mode and landed in an empty, uninhabited lot near a residential area in Jiangcheng, Huaguo.

Chen Yu stuffed a few gold bricks into his backpack, intending to sell them first to resolve his debts.

Stepping off the landing craft, the hatch slowly closed, and Chen Yu only saw a blurry shadow flying into the sky.

Presumably, it was going to find an uninhabited place to dock.

Chen Yu walked towards his house, which had been sealed by the court because he couldn't afford the mortgage payments on the house he had bought with a loan three years ago.

Arriving at the door, the court's seal was still there; Chen Yu pulled out his key from his backpack, tore open the seal, and walked inside.

It was already night, and Chen Yu planned to rest here for the night, then sell a gold brick tomorrow to pay off all his outstanding mortgage.

Using the last few dozen yuan on his phone, he ordered takeout.

When the delivery person arrived at Chen Yu's doorstep,

He found it strange to see the entire door covered in seals and thought he had delivered to the wrong place, but fortunately, there was someone inside.

“Big brother, your house is quite unique, isn't it?” the delivery guy teased.

Chen Yu's mindset had changed, and he smiled in response to the delivery guy's teasing.

“Yes, I couldn't pay the mortgage before, so it was sealed by the court, but I'll be able to pay it off tomorrow.”

The delivery guy just smiled faintly and offered Chen Yu a suggestion before leaving.

“Brother, if you really can't make ends meet, come deliver food for our company.”

Chen Yu closed the door; delivering food was probably out of the question for him for the rest of his life.

After eating his takeout, Chen Yu went to rest.

The next morning, as Chen Yu was sleeping soundly, the intelligent AI's voice rang in his head.

“Captain, wake up, Captain, wake up!”

The intelligent AI transmitted through brainwaves, its voice echoing in Chen Yu's mind.

“Damn it, so early! What are you yelling about in my head?!”

“Captain, didn't you ask me to wake you up at 8 AM last night?”

Only then did Chen Yu remember that he had indeed instructed the intelligent AI to wake him up in the morning, and the alarm was certainly punctual.

“Okay, I know, I'll sleep a little longer.”

Chen Yu fell back asleep, and about an hour later, he faintly heard voices outside the door.

Chen Yu suddenly sprang out of bed.

He was sure there were voices outside the bedroom, and before he could even get out of bed, his bedroom door was pushed open.

Chen Yu looked towards the doorway and saw a saleswoman in a suit standing at the door with a couple dressed like a husband and wife.

The moment Chen Yu saw these people, he already guessed what they were doing.

The saleswoman, seeing Chen Yu lying on the bed, immediately frowned and asked:

“Who are you? This house has been sealed by the court. How did you get in?”

Chen Yu was furious; this was his own home, and he was being asked who he was!

“This is my house. What are you doing here?”

The saleswoman must have seen this kind of situation before, so she said very sternly:

“Are you the former owner of this house, Chen Yu?”

“What do you mean ‘former owner’? I'm still the owner here!”

“Heh heh, I'm sorry, but because you haven't paid your mortgage for several consecutive months, this house is currently being auctioned by the court. It's against regulations for you to be living here now. Please leave immediately.”

Chen Yu was planning to sell the gold brick today and repay the loan to redeem the house, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation first thing in the morning.

Chen Yu was in a very bad mood. He cursed at the couple looking at the house and the saleswoman, eventually driving them away.

After washing up, Chen Yu grabbed his backpack and left the house; he needed to sell the gold brick as soon as possible.

Chen Yu arrived at a chain jewelry store in the city center, where they also bought gold.

Entering the store, Chen Yu felt it seemed legitimate, so he approached the counter and asked the staff, “Do you buy gold?”

The staff was very polite.

“Sir, of course we buy gold. Today's gold purchase price is 545 yuan per gram. May I ask how many grams you have?”

Chen Yu weighed the backpack behind him; it was heavy. The gold bricks he had cast were quite large, and he had only brought three back from the spaceship.

Each one weighed over twenty catties, so three together were almost seventy catties.

Fortunately, after the Ami Repair Robot was implanted in Chen Yu's body, his physical strength had also improved.

Otherwise, carrying these seventy catties of gold bricks would have probably exhausted him to death.

Chen Yu slowly took off his backpack and, with effort, pulled out a gold brick from inside.

When the staff saw Chen Yu pull out such a large gold brick, their eyes widened instantly; this was the largest gold brick the staff had ever seen.

Chen Yu placed the gold brick on the counter.

“Could you check it, see how much it weighs, and how much it can sell for?”

The staff member's hands trembled as he lifted the enormous gold brick, which was roughly half the size of a regular building brick.

Based on experience, the staff member judged it to be genuine.

This was too big a deal for her to handle alone, so she quickly had someone notify the Fat Manager.

Soon, a Fat Manager in a suit came to the front desk, and his eyes also widened in disbelief at the gold brick on the counter.

“Sir, is this gold brick yours?”

Chen Yu frowned: “If it's not mine, is it yours?”

The Fat Manager laughed awkwardly and said, “Sir, do you have a purchase receipt for this gold brick?”

Chen Yu was surprised; did he need a purchase receipt to sell gold?

“No, this was passed down from my ancestors. Where would there be a purchase receipt?”

“Uh, heh heh, sir, if you don't have a purchase receipt, our purchase price might be a bit lower.”

“How much lower?”

“15 yuan less per gram.”

Thinking that he had hundreds of tons of this stuff on his spaceship, 15 yuan less per gram didn't matter.

“Alright then, go ahead and weigh it. I'll sell it now.”

The Fat Manager's eyes lit up; such a large piece, at least twenty to thirty catties, meant a saving of tens of thousands of yuan at 15 yuan less per gram, all of which was profit.

Finally, the staff began to test the purity and weight.

About half an hour later, the Fat Manager approached Chen Yu, looking very respectful.

“Sir, this gold brick of yours has very high purity, meeting our pure gold acquisition standard, and it weighs 25 catties, totaling 12,500 grams. Please confirm.”

“Hmm, that's about right!”

These were gold bricks cast by the intelligent AI, and Chen Yu already knew the exact weight, so at least this gold shop wasn't trying to cheat him.

“Alright then, sir, 12,500 grams, at 530 yuan per gram, the total acquisition price is 6,625,000 yuan.”
