Chapter 38: Chu Chen's Goal

  "Xiaochen, I miss you!"

  This soft whisper suddenly made the atmosphere between the two people ambiguous, and this situation made Chu Chen a little at a loss, and could only force himself to reply lightly: "Xiao Ke, I miss you too."

  On the other end of the phone, Wu Ke seemed extremely happy when she heard this, and didn't even mind the usual title she was particular about, saying softly:

  "Uh, it's getting late, go have dinner, remember to eat more, I'll check later, if you lose weight... Hehe! And go to my dad's place and take note of my online contact information, from now on we can just communicate online, um... bye!"

  She finished speaking and hung up before Chu Chen could react.

  "Goodbye... goodbye"

  Chu Chen still maintained the posture of making a phone call, Wu Ke's attitude towards him made him somewhat at a loss for what to do. To say that he had no affection for Wu Ke, such a beautiful and lovely girl, was not convincing, but at this moment his heart was truly unprepared for these things.

  The key is that emotions are a minefield for him, and it's not easy to accept them in a short period of time. He thought about it for a long time, but he still doesn't know how to interact with Wu Ke in the future.

  "Never mind, let's take it one step at a time."

  Finally, Chu Chen really couldn't think of any good ideas and could only hold onto the idea of going straight to the bridgehead naturally, and then they would see.

  "Ah, it's really warm and quite comfortable." Wu Shu said with a surprised and pleased expression.

  When Chuyan came out, Wu Shu and the others were studying how to use the physical therapy instrument that Chuyan had brought earlier. It seemed like they had already figured out the basic operation.

  Wu Shu saw Chu Chen come out of the room and asked somewhat unpleasantly: "Have you finished your phone call? What did you say to Xiao Ke?"

  He's no longer angry with Chuxuan for wasting money, he just figured it out earlier, after all, this is a child's filial piety, and it can't be said to be wasteful, but because of this matter, Wu Nainai and Wu Shu came to target him, making him somewhat unbearable on the face, so he still spoke to Chuxuan in such a tone.

  "Just chatted casually and also asked me to come to you and take down her contact information on the internet."

  Chu Chen also knew Wu Shu's temperament. Just now, when he heard Wu Shu and the others scolding him, he knew that later on, Wu Shu would definitely not be in a good mood towards himself.

  Then he wrote down Wu Ke's contact information on the internet, bank account number, and the phone number of Wu Shu's friend who did security work before. He flattered Wu Shu, and in just a few minutes, he had coaxed him into smiling from ear to ear. Wu Shu's wife and others watched this scene with their hands covering their mouths, laughing out loud.

  After cheering up Wu Shu, Chu Chen told them some things to note when using the physiotherapy instrument, and then took them to eat happily.

  In order to avoid Wu Shu thinking it's too expensive, Chu Chen had already booked a private room and ordered dishes early on. Although Wu Shu and the others knew through the delicious food that the price shouldn't be cheap, they never thought that the dishes Chu Chen ordered today would cost over 4,000 even after discounts.

  This meal, everyone ate with satisfaction. When it was time to part ways, Uncle Wu said to Chu Chen: "I forgot to tell you, last time I went to Liu Lao's place, I mentioned you to him and he is very interested in you."

  Chu Chen heard this and couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Wu, does that mean Old Liu has already agreed to let me visit him?"

  Wu Shu saw Chu Chen's impatient look and smiled, saying: "Alright, he indeed asked me to bring you along on Sunday. However, you must also prepare yourself mentally, as Old Liu will definitely test you when the time comes. Also, when you go, bring that pile of Tang Sancai shards with you, Old Liu wants to take a look at them personally."

  Chu Chen heard this, excitedly nodding repeatedly. What's there to fear when having an extraordinary ability? However, he had some misgivings in his heart. Such a fake Tang Sancai piece was surprisingly so popular that almost every acquaintance in the collector's circle wanted to see it.

  It doesn't matter, but now almost everyone knows that he made a mistake with this Tang Sancai, so I always feel quite embarrassed.

  But on the other hand, thinking about it this way is actually quite good. After having special abilities, my collecting career will definitely be rich and colorful in the future. Counterfeits basically can't escape my palm, and with previous experience, people won't think it's abrupt either.

  After all, if someone who has never experienced a setback can become a great collector, it's really too far-fetched. Perhaps some people with ulterior motives will be suspicious of him.

  Wu Shu saw his excited appearance and had the idea of teasing him, so he said to him: "In our antique business, exchange is the most important thing. If you have any valuable items that can be taken out, it's best to bring them together, so that you seem to be well-prepared. Okay, it's getting late, you should go back now, and be careful on the road."

  Wu Shu saw Chu Chen's hesitant expression after hearing that he was going to bring the goods, and his heart was secretly pleased, thinking, "Let you little boy make me suffer today."

  After parting with Uncle Wu, Chu Chen thought to himself, "This Uncle Wu is really something, he's given me a big problem. Now, what valuable items do I have on hand that I can bring out? Not to mention bringing them out, but truly valuable items, I only have one." (The black and white jade and the bird food container are for sale)

  Actually, Chu Chen had some hidden goods, Wu Shu knew a little about it. If Chu Chen saw Wu Shu leaving at that time, the secretly pleased smile would have known that this request was actually just to avenge today's embarrassment caused by Chu Chen.

  However, this incident also made Chu Chen reflect on what his future goals were. If it was about making money, with the ability to make money easily, having a wife and children would be relatively easy to solve after having material conditions, and such things mainly rely on fate.

  What about finding parents?

  This issue, in fact, is still very entangled in Chu Chen's heart. He has always thought that his parents abandoned him from the beginning, but he cannot cut off the deep-seated family ties in his heart, so it seems very contradictory.

  He thought for a while, and finally didn't dwell on it anymore. It was still the same as before, relying on fate to find them, and when the time came, he could forgive himself and recognize them. If not, although there would definitely be regret in his heart, life had to go on as usual.

  Chu Chen thought to himself as he walked, his current hobby was only antiquities. Since he wanted to set a goal for himself, he might as well become a collector. With his current abilities, he already had an advantage over others in appraising antiques, so collecting them would undoubtedly be much easier than for others.

  Moreover, antiques are actually the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient people, and there is much content that is worth studying. The skills that one has mastered can also be applied here.

  As for the money needed to collect antiques, others may worry, but I don't worry at all. If there's no money, I can still go gamble on stones, right? Moreover, what I want to collect are only the finest pieces among antiques, and some of those that I'm not particularly fond of can be taken out for exchange.

  In that case, opening an antique shop is just right, it can be sold and purchased, and the jade won by gambling can also be made into finished products for sale in the store, which makes it easier to accumulate funds.

  And with the collection of antiques and the development of the jade business, Chu Chen's heterogeneity can also be continuously upgraded. Since he obtained his heterogeneity, not to mention other aspects, the change in himself is very great, not only has his body become much stronger, but it has also helped him break through the small Zhou Tian.

  Chu Chen thought that this ability would likely help him break through to the Xiantian realm, and at that time, he could live for at least 150 years. Just thinking about it made him feel extremely excited, after all, longevity was one of humanity's most primal desires.

  And after today's ability upgrade, he felt that in his left arm, there seemed to be a stream of energy constantly circulating along the meridians. As it circulated, the strength of his left arm was also slowly increasing, although the increase was tiny, but over time, it was still quite remarkable.

  He guessed that after the next upgrade of his heterodox ability, it was very likely that new meridians would be added to it. In the end, when that spiritual energy circulated through all the meridians in his body, he had no idea what kind of changes his body would undergo. He was full of anticipation for this.

  However, upgrading the special ability is still quite difficult. Today, I obtained the Lingtong of that double-ear bottle, and the progress only increased by less than 1%. I don't know if this value has been reduced after calculation, if it's calculated normally, how can he bear it.

  However, since the goal has been set, Chu Chen believes that one day it will be fulfilled, and even if calculated at normal values, it is equivalent to an antique or jade worth about 100 million yuan. This amount of money, if calculated in jade, is not so difficult to complete after all.

  After going home, Chu Chen took out Wu Ke's contact information and studied it for a while. The email and chat tools mentioned on it were all unfamiliar to him, but that didn't pose any problem for him, given his current learning ability was so abnormal.

  After setting up the email and chat tool accounts and sending them to Wu Ke, Chu Chen began to search for information on antiques online. With a goal in mind, he found that reading books was more interesting than before, and before he knew it, he had become immersed in an ocean of knowledge.

  The next day, Chu Chen got up at 4 o'clock. After getting out of bed, the first thing he did was to feel amazed by his own energy. Unexpectedly, after chatting with Wu Ke online until 2 am yesterday and only sleeping for two hours, he still had such abundant energy, without even a hint of fatigue, which was really hard to believe.
