Chapter 229: [229] Do you think I’m a sucker? _1
 

Upon receiving the system prompt, Tang Feng’s eyes immediately lit up.

The upgraded system was indeed powerful; he didn’t even need to initiate a scan—it provided prompts automatically.

Feigning casual interest, he scanned the room and quickly fixed his gaze on a pile of copper coins on the table.

There were roughly seventy or eighty copper coins in the pile, most of which were not worth much.

Who could have imagined that hidden among them would be a “Guangxu Heavy Treasure Bao Yuan” coin worth a fortune?

Meanwhile, Qin Yanan had already started rummaging around the room.

But just as the man had said, she couldn’t even find a single coin in the house.

Eventually, her eyes also landed on the pile of copper coins, and she curiously looked at Tang Feng, “Are these copper coins valuable?”

Tang Feng walked over, putting on an act. He picked up a few copper coins and looked at them with disdain, shaking his head, “Song Dynasty Tongbao? Yuan Feng Tongbao? Xi Ning Tongbao? What kind of junk is this?”

The man hurried over, “Do you even know what you’re talking about? These are treasures.”

“Especially the few that you’re holding—they are copper coins from the Song Dynasty. If you take them to the antique market, people will fight over them. How about I just use one copper coin to pay for the rent?”

Tang Feng glanced at him and let out a cold laugh, “Copper coins from the Song Dynasty are valuable? Is the value of a copper coin determined by the dynasty? This copper coin is only worth a couple of bucks, and you want to pay the rent with it?”

The man let out a resigned chuckle.

Not long ago, while working on a construction site, he found an old clay jar filled with copper coins.

He initially thought he was about to strike it rich.

But after bringing them home and searching online, he realized they were just a bunch of junk.

As Tang Feng had said, due to their mass production, each copper coin was only worth around one or two bucks.

The whole pile of copper coins couldn’t sell for even 100 yuan, so he didn’t bother with them anymore.

“I don’t care; even if you have to borrow money, you need to pay the rent today,” Mrs. Qin insisted, continuing to press the man after hearing that the copper coins weren’t valuable.

The man’s face immediately turned gloomy, “Mrs. Qin, I genuinely have no money right now. How about this, I’ll clean and do chores in lieu of paying the rent, okay?”

Mrs. Qin crossed her arms and huffed coldly, “Sorry, but the cleanliness of the apartment is maintained by a cleaning lady; I wouldn’t dream of troubling you.”

The man was left speechless.

If he were only dealing with Qin Yanan, he could throw a tantrum or simply walk away at worst.

Could a woman like her stop him?

But Tang Feng’s watchful presence made him immediately dismiss these thoughts; his arm was still throbbing with pain.

In this somewhat tense atmosphere, Tang Feng suddenly spoke up again, “Mrs. Nan, Mr. Zhang seems to really enjoy collecting copper coins, doesn’t he?”

Mrs. Qin was momentarily taken aback, but then she quickly caught on, “Oh… yeah, Mr. Zhang likes collecting these things in his free time, but they’re all just some worthless junk.”

Tang Feng nodded and turned to the man, “Are you selling this junk? If the price is right, I might consider buying it.”

The man eyed him warily, “How much are you willing to pay?”

“How much do you want?” Tang Feng did not answer but instead asked back.

After pondering for a long while and stroking his chin, the man suddenly held up a finger, “10,000 yuan.”

“How much? 10,000? Are you kidding me?” Tang Feng laughed as if he had heard a joke.

The man felt a bit embarrassed but still tried to stand his ground, “If you want it, give 10,000 yuan; otherwise, forget it. I’m not interested in a mere hundred or eighty yuan.”

“I’ll give you at most 1,000 yuan; take it or leave it,” Tang Feng’s attitude was very firm.

The man’s heart was pounding furiously.

The price had already far exceeded his expectations, yet he still held onto the mentality of asking for more.

“Five thousand.”

After saying that, he waited for Tang Feng to continue bargaining.

“Deal,” Tang Feng couldn’t be bothered to haggle over a few thousand yuan more and settled it with finality.

The man was instantly dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Was it a deal, just like that?

Although the price was far beyond his expectations, he still felt like he had sold it too cheaply.

Could there be some treasure among those copper coins?

“No, eight thousand!” the man reneged on the deal in the last moment.

Tang Feng let out a cold laugh, “You think I’m a sucker? If you don’t want to sell, then keep them for the New Year.”

After saying this, he dropped the subject.

With a quick thought, Qin Yanan applied pressure again, “Hurry up and figure something out. What kind of man are you, unable to pay even a bit over a thousand yuan in rent?”

The beauty’s provocation worked wonders. The man felt his pride severely trampled upon and immediately slammed his hand on the table, “Five thousand it is, then. Pay up.”

A trace of a smile flickered across Tang Feng’s lips, but he quickly hid it.

“How much rent does he owe?” Instead of transferring the money to the man immediately, he asked Qin Yanan first.

“Two months’ rent, twelve hundred.”

“Then I’ll transfer three thousand eight to him, is that alright?” Tang Feng turned to the man.

The man, although reluctant, ultimately had no choice but to nod.

Tang Feng immediately transferred three thousand eight via WeChat and then found a plastic bag to pack up the heap of copper coins.

Qin Yanan faced the man with a cold expression, “I’m not renting my room to you anymore. Move out quickly.”

“But haven’t I already paid my rent?” the man was somewhat disgruntled.

“Look at what a mess you’ve made of my house! Encountering a tenant like you, I must have bad luck trailing me for eight lifetimes. Stop arguing and move out quickly.”

After dropping those harsh words, Qin Yanan stormed out.

Her room was just across the hallway, a mere step away.

“Why get angry over such a person?”

Tang Feng followed her into the room, opened the plastic bag, and picked out the “Guangxu Heavy Treasure Bao Yuan” mother coin.

This mother coin was about the size of a one yuan coin, and quite substantial.

The front bore the words “Guangxu Heavy Treasure,” the sides had “Bao Yuan,” and the top and bottom “Dang Shi.”

“What are you looking at?”

Qin Yanan saw him examining a copper coin and curiously leaned in.

As Tang Feng turned his head, his lips brushed against her red lips.

Although it was just a fleeting touch, it left both of them electrified.
