Leaving Two Rivers Village.

Following the previous example, Lin Ze drove the donkey cart directly into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

After confirming that no one was following him,

Lin Ze put a blindfold on the donkey, opened the Gates to Heavens, and returned to the two-world trading base located in Big Stone Village in the countryside of Jiangzhou City.

After settling the donkey, Lin Ze had lunch and rested for a while.

Then, he began to process the Matsutake he had just brought back, sorting them into different packages according to their quality.

After finishing all this, seeing that it was almost dark, he came to the basement again and opened the Gates to Heavens.

This time, the coordinates of the other world opened by the Gates to Heavens were not near Two Rivers Village, but in a secluded mountain forest outside Clear River Village, the capital of Clear River Township.

Lin Ze did not go to the other world. Instead, he remotely controlled the drone from the Main World, using the cover of night to approach Clear River Village.

The maximum remote control distance of his drone exceeds nine kilometers, and it can take aerial photos from a height of several hundred meters. The camera has extremely high pixels and comes with night vision, making it very stealthy.

Lin Ze used this drone to great advantage when learning the language, writing, customs, and culture of the other world.

When checking the surveillance in the morning, he discovered that Zhang Yuanwai of Clear River Village might have a problem, so Lin Ze decided to investigate him to see if he was colluding with the Bandits.

Soon, with the cover of night, Lin Ze controlled the drone to fly near Zhang Yuanwai's house.

Compared to the surrounding ordinary villagers' adobe thatched houses, Zhang Yuanwai's house was much better, with blue brick and tile houses, high walls and large courtyards, and some servants, guards, and dogs. Whether in terms of living comfort or safety, it was far superior to others.

Lin Ze didn't look at these things much.

At this time, Zhang Yuanwai's family was eating in the main room, while the servants were in the front yard. The owner's residence at the back happened to be empty. Under the cover of human voices and dog barks, the slight sound of the drone flying was not noticeable.

Lin Ze directly controlled the drone to come near Zhang Yuanwai's master bedroom and study, and dropped a miniature camera that could last for two days in a hidden place.

"Wait for a while to retrieve the camera, and that will be it."

"If I have wronged a good person, then I will secretly give Zhang Yuanwai's family some care as compensation. If it is determined that he is indeed colluding with the Bandits, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lin Ze controlled the drone to fly back to the Gates to Heavens, thinking in his heart.

After doing all this, Lin Ze no longer lingered.

He went to the garage above the basement, took the Matsutake that had been sorted in the afternoon and the Centennial Ginseng collected from An Ye's house, and directly opened the Gates to Heavens to go to his Matsutake trading base in Tiannan City.

In the quiet room, there were no electronic devices.

Lin Ze put the Matsutake and Centennial Ginseng in the warehouse, walked out of the room, and turned off the signal jammer that had just been installed.

Only then did he pick up his mobile phone, which he had placed in the bedroom.

This time, no one called Lin Ze, but there were many messages on the Flying Bear Chat software.

Lin Ze opened the chat software and didn't find anything too important, so he switched directly to the small account he had created specifically for selling Matsutake.

There were also a lot of messages on the small account, all from buyers who had bought Matsutake from Lin Ze before, asking when Lin Ze could restock.

In addition, there were some new friend requests.

Lin Ze first took photos of the matsutake he had just brought back, and then posted these pictures with text to his WeChat Moments.

"Newly sourced goods have arrived. This time, there are some ultra-premium matsutake that far surpass those of the past. Buyers who want high-quality matsutake, come quickly."

After posting this on WeChat Moments, Lin Ze directly sent the message to several matsutake trading groups he had joined.

After that, he set the online store to "in stock."

Then, he began to reply to messages from buyers who had previously bought matsutake from him, or new contacts who had expressed a desire to buy.

"Hello, our matsutake is back in stock. If you want to buy matsutake, you can place an order in the online store."

Lin Ze happily contacted the buyers, and quickly sold a lot more matsutake.

The 600 jin of matsutake that had just been restocked quickly dwindled by 120 jin. These matsutake, with an average price of 4,500 yuan, directly brought Lin Ze another 540,000 yuan in revenue.

Previously, he had spent 1150 taels of silver, roughly 300,000 yuan, to purchase Centennial Ginseng in the Otherworld and to pay An Ye a deposit for matsutake.

Now, not only had he earned it back, but he also had extra.

"No one is contacting me anymore, it'll probably be like this tonight."

At 7:12 PM, Lin Ze stared at his phone, which had been quiet for a while, and pondered.

But just at this moment, another friend request appeared.

'Ji Shuqing is requesting to add you as a friend.'

Looking at the familiar nickname and profile picture, the corner of Lin Ze's mouth twitched slightly.

Wasn't this the wealthy young lady he had met at the airport a few days ago?

What a small world, to actually run into her here.

He had previously rejected her friend request.

After going around in circles, he didn't expect to add her as a friend after all.

Lin Ze sighed and accepted her friend request.

"Hello, I saw the ultra-premium top-quality matsutake in your WeChat Moments. I'm interested in buying some. May I ask what the price of these matsutake is?"

As soon as the friend request was accepted, a message came from the other side.

This business-like attitude and tone were completely different from the enthusiasm and initiative she had shown when they met at the airport.

This is also normal. At the airport, she was facing a young man she was interested in, while now it was business.

"18,000 yuan per jin."

Lin Ze replied.

Ultra-premium matsutake are superior to ordinary matsutake in terms of both appearance and taste. The price Lin Ze was selling them for was not only not expensive, but could even be said to be very cheap.

Ji Shuqing on the other side of the internet was obviously someone who knew her stuff, and didn't bother to haggle.

He directly typed, "Okay, about how much is there? I'd like to buy it all."

Lin Ze pondered slightly and replied, "There are twelve jin, and then there may be restocks at any time."

Hearing Lin Ze say this, Ji Shuqing became more enthusiastic.

"Okay, I'll buy all the matsutake you have here. I'm Ji Shuqing, the purchasing manager for Ji Family Cuisine in Shenjing City. This is my phone number xxx. I need various rare ingredients in large quantities on a long-term basis. You can sell all your restocks to me in the future."

Lin Ze looked at this message, understanding dawning on him.

This was the first time he knew the other party's name.

No wonder the two sides had such a coincidental encounter again. Given the nature of her work, it was very normal for her to come into contact with him for this reason.

"Okay."

Lin Ze replied simply with two words, ending the conversation.

Soon, the online store showed that someone had placed an order for twelve jin of the top-grade matsutake. The price of this order reached 216,000 yuan.

"The order has been received and will be shipped as soon as possible."

Lin Ze replied again and contacted the courier for delivery on the spot.

After finishing this order, Lin Ze's phone really became completely quiet.
