Sinisterium Pawnshop: Exclusive to Malevolent Objects

　　Lu Fei glanced at Huzi and said indifferently, "That's none of your business."

　　Sinisterium Pawnshop never tells its customers who they sold the evil object to or for how much, as it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

　　"Brother Lu Fei, what do you think I am, Huzi? How could I be thinking about the money? I was just curious!" Huzi hurriedly explained.

　　"I definitely choose the dead pawn. As for the price..." He hesitated for a long time, then extended one finger and said, "Is one cent okay?"

　　"As long as there's a number, any amount is fine."

　　Lu Fei quickly wrote the pawn ticket and handed it to Huzi.

　　"No problem, just sign and stamp it."

　　Hu Zi signed the pawn ticket, making two copies, one for each party to keep.

　　The transaction was completed.

　　Hu Zi took out 2,000 yuan and insisted on giving it to Lu Fei as payment for the copper coins and talisman water.

　　Lu Fei only accepted 300 yuan, leaving Hu Zi so touched that he didn't know what to say.

　　"Brother Lu Fei, I, Hu Zi, will always repay those who wrong me, and even more so, those who do me a favor. In the future, if there's anything you need from me, just let me know!"

　　After seeing Hu Zi off, Lu Fei looked at the pawn ticket and the copper coins, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

　　Although the process was full of twists and dangers, he had finally successfully received the second evil object.

　　It was a fairly good evil object, but it had its flaws.

　　Lu Fei thought for a while; he had no use for this item himself, so it would be better to sell it.

　　In business, there must be both inflow and outflow; only by keeping it moving can it thrive.

　　So, he went to the Linglong Pavilion.

　　Liu Fugui was lying on a recliner, watching a live stream of a beautiful woman while showing off his beer belly. When Lu Fei walked in, Liu Fugui immediately got up.

　　"Young Master Lu, that necklace of yours is truly magical!"

　　He excitedly brought his phone in front of Lu Fei.

　　"Look, who is this?"

　　Lu Fei looked for a long time but couldn't recognize her. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly noticed that the female streamer was wearing the bone necklace.

　　He exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this that minor internet celebrity?"

　　Her appearance with and without makeup was so different.

　　"Exactly, it's her! She suddenly became popular these past two days! Look at her live stream, rockets flying everywhere, gifts being showered non-stop! How much money must she be making?" Liu Fugui kept smacking his lips.

　　"The Gaze-Attracting Chain is used to draw attention," Lu Fei said with a smile. Of course, the effect of the cursed object is good, as long as one can accept the cost.

　　"Truly impressive!" Liu Fugui was thoroughly convinced.

　　He had previously harbored some doubts about Lu Fei's capabilities, but given the man's shrewdness and the reputation of Sinisterium Pawnshop, he decided to lend a hand. He hadn't expected that this young man really had the skills.

　　His gaze toward Lu Fei changed dramatically: Could this guy have inherited his grandfather's true abilities?

　　He needed to get close to him; there would be plenty of opportunities for wealth in the future.

　　"Manager Lu, please sit and have some tea!" He offered his own chair and brought out some treasured Tieguanyin tea to brew for Lu Fei, showing great hospitality.

　　Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Lu Fei took his time and did not rush to take out what he had brought, leisurely sipping his tea.

　　Indeed, premium Tieguanyin is truly fragrant.

　　"Manager Lu, you came to see me at this time, have you finished with the previous matters?" Sure enough, it wasn't long before Liu Fugui couldn't resist asking.

　　"I've finished." Lu Fei nodded.

　　"Then you must have acquired another great treasure! Manager Lu, you are quite accomplished for your age, almost on par with your grandfather..." Liu Fugui gave him a thumbs up, dishing out flattery, "My friends heard that Sinisterium Pawnshop has reopened, and many people want to come and buy treasures."

　　"Stop exaggerating, you can take a look at this." Lu Fei rolled his eyes and took out the hungry ghost coin, placing it on his counter.

　　"What is this?" Liu Fugui looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. "If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the copper coin you bought the other day? From the perspective of ancient coins, it's quite ordinary."

　　"You are right, this is an ordinary ancient coin."

　　"For it to catch the attention of your Sinisterium Pawnshop, it must be extraordinary. Don't beat around the bush, quickly tell me, what kind of treasure is this?"

　　"This is called the Turn the Tables Coin. Wearing this copper coin, no matter how much money you lose in any business, it will turn the tables and turn losses into profits!"

　　Lu Fei made up the name on the spot, but the effect was real.

　　The hungry ghost represents greed, and sometimes, greed is not necessarily a bad thing.

　　Just after he finished speaking, Liu Fugui's eyes lit up instantly.

　　"Oh my! This is such a good treasure!" Liu Fugui himself was a businessman, and a treasure that could turn losses into profits would naturally make him drool with envy.

　　He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Can you sell this treasure to me?"

　　"Uncle Rich, you're joking. Why would you need this?" Lu Fei smiled, "This money is only useful for those who are losing money in business. Since your business is doing so well, why would you need it?"

　　This guy, who has eyes only for money, would he really be willing to let himself make a loss?

　　"Young Master Lu is too kind to me. Business isn't easy these days, I'm just barely making a living." Liu Fugui said humbly.

　　"There are plenty of people doing business, but only a small number actually make a profit. An item that can turn all businesses from loss to profit is truly the treasure every businessman dreams of! I'm afraid once the news gets out, many will be scrambling for it."

　　"Don't be in such a hurry. There are conditions to using this copper coin," Lu Fei said slowly.

　　"Please go on, Young Master Lu." Liu Fugui listened attentively.

　　"Though this coin can ensure turning a loss into a profit, once the profits start, it can no longer be used. Otherwise, it will have the opposite effect."

　　Greed is not always a bad thing, but excessive greed will surely backfire.

　　"Furthermore, from now on, you must not do anything that goes against your conscience. If you do even one thing, regardless of its size, the money earned will be lost multiple times over."

　　If the desire is positive, then greed can be a benefit. But if it's negative, it will only lead to an endless abyss."

　　Liu Fugui immediately became awed; this condition was a bit harsh!

　　Who could guarantee that they would be a saint their entire life, never making a single mistake?

　　However, he quickly laughed and said, "Even so, there will still be people rushing to buy it. Turning a loss into a profit is attractive enough. I'll spread the word right away."

　　"I really must thank you, Uncle Fugui."

　　"Manager Xiao Lu is too polite, it's my honor!" Liu Fugui chuckled, "Now that you're done here, when can you go to my friend's place? Set a time, and I'll make the arrangements."

　　Lu Fei had been waiting for these words, and replied, "I need a day of rest, how about tomorrow?"

　　There were three days left in the month, and as long as he received one more evil object, he would have met the KPI set by his grandfather, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

　　"That works! Get a good rest, and I'll pick you up at the pawnshop tomorrow."

　　Liu Fugui saw Lu Fei out and then couldn't wait to return and make a phone call to find a seller.

　　The better the evil objects sold, the more benefits he would receive, so naturally, he was very enthusiastic.

　　Lu Fei only showed signs of fatigue when he returned to the pawnshop. After eating something hastily, he fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

　　He didn't know how long he had slept, but he was roused from his drowsy state by the ringing of his phone.

　　"Who is it?"

　　Lu Fei fumbled for his phone under the pillow and asked, still half-asleep.

　　"Manager Lu."

　　A pleasant female voice came through the receiver, somewhat familiar.

　　Lu Fei was momentarily taken aback before he remembered who it was.

　　"Miss Xie." He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

　　"Am I disturbing Manager Lu?"

　　"No, go ahead and tell me what you need."

　　"I promised you before that I would take you to meet my elders. I've finally finished dealing with matters on my end, and now I have the time to fulfill my promise. When would it be convenient for you, Mr. Lu?"

　　Lu Fei glanced at the time; it was 5:00 PM.

　　"Is now okay?" He didn't want to wait any longer when it came to matters concerning his grandfather.
