The Resources of an Eastern Sect Were Simply Terrifying!

The Goblin kept looking back at the gold bars, reluctant to part with them. Only then did he turn around and call the other Goblins over to prepare the astonishing number of Galleons.

Counting and moving those twenty-five thousand gold coins would clearly be no small undertaking.

Snape stood to one side, taking it all in.

As he watched Chu Yao's calm, "I'll bury you in money" demeanor and the Goblin's comical expression, as if he had swallowed a fly and been forced to keep it down, his body relaxed almost imperceptibly beneath his black robes.

He even felt that this boring, torturous assignment of escorting her back and forth... might not be quite so unbearable after all.

At the very least, it was always a pleasure to watch a Goblin get the worst of things.

But... were the resources of Eastern sects really so profound (terrifying)?

Fifty kilograms of gold in a single transaction?

Soon, amid a pleasant chorus of clinking, several Goblins laboriously pushed a cart over to Chu Yao, carrying a small mountain of gleaming golden Galleons.

Their dazzling glow nearly lit up the entire counter area.

Wow! This is the currency of the magical world!

All glittering gold—it looks really valuable!

A little excited, Chu Yao immediately reached out and picked up a Galleon. It felt slightly heavy in her hand, cool with the chill of metal.

Out of habit, she examined it carefully with her spiritual sense, an instinct from her past life as a master artifact refiner.

But as soon as she did, the smile on her face froze, and her pupils widened slightly.

Wait!

This... this metal actually has Geng Metal mixed into it?!

Geng Metal?!

One of the finest materials for conducting spiritual energy and adding toughness when refining flying swords!

In our cultivation world, even a fingernail-sized piece would have sword cultivators fighting over it!

They... they actually mixed it into their currency so extravagantly?!

And they used so much of it?! Does the Wizarding World have a Geng Metal vein at home or something?!

Or do these Goblins simply not recognize its value and think it's ordinary metal?!

What a waste of a precious resource! An utter waste!

In an instant, the way Chu Yao looked at the Galleons changed completely. She no longer saw "currency," but "supreme-grade artifact-refining materials"!

Her mind raced, and a plan to "fleece them" instantly took shape.

She raised her head and gave the Goblins watching her expectantly a smile more brilliant than any she had ever shown, one that even seemed to have a hint of an "angelic halo." In her sweetest voice, she said, "Um... I just remembered, I think I have approximately... another nine hundred kilograms of gold. Would you still take it?"

"N-nine hundred kilograms?!"

"Merlin above!"

Her words caused a huge stir! It was as if someone had muted the entire Gringotts hall. Every busy Goblin stopped what they were doing and turned in unison to stare at Chu Yao, their eyes gleaming green like hungry wolves who had spotted a plump lamb.

All that remained in the air was the lingering sound of clinking coins and the Goblins' heavy breathing.

The Goblin who had first received Chu Yao was so excited that even his pointed ears were trembling. He roared with absolute certainty, his voice so shrill it nearly pierced her eardrums, "We'll take it! Of course we will! We'll take as much as you have!"

The look he gave Chu Yao was now filled with boundless "warmth" and "respect," as though he were looking at a walking Merlin who could lay golden eggs!

"Miss Chu, you... you truly are... as rich as a nation!"

He had racked his brains to come up with that phrase he had learned from Muggles.
