When she walked out of the pawnshop, Xiao Yingchun felt like she was dreaming!

But when she opened her WeChat wallet* and looked at the 6,000 yuan inside, she was sure it was real.

*WeChat wallet: digital wallet within the WeChat app.

That silver ingot wasn’t just real—it was an ancient five-tael silver ingot.

The pawnshop owner immediately offered 6,000 yuan, and before she knew it, she had pocketed the money, feeling dazed.

Two boxes of compressed biscuits only cost about 300 yuan. That meant she had just made a net profit of 5,700 yuan?

Huge profit!
Even drug dealers would want to compete with her business!

Thinking of that handsome ghost’s words—“I’ll come again next time”—Xiao Yingchun felt conflicted.
Should she restock or not?

Face a ghost again, or stay broke?
Looking at her WeChat balance, she decisively made a phone call and ordered twenty boxes of assorted-flavor compressed biscuits and several boxes of water.

She was going all in—what if she got lucky and her bicycle turned into a motorbike?

To succeed, go crazy first—charge forward no matter what!

……

Fu Chen’an stood at the shop entrance, holding two boxes of biscuits, feeling like it wasn’t real.

He glanced at the strange door curtain—it was still there, but he couldn’t see clearly inside. However, the weight in his hands was solid.

Not an illusion.

Still half in doubt, Fu Chen’an carried the biscuits back to the city by the desert’s edge. The command tent was pitched right in the middle of the city square.

The place had already been almost completely destroyed by war.

As he walked, Fu Chen’an gave orders, “Call Doctor Niu over.”

Doctor Niu was stunned when he saw the compressed biscuits in front of Fu Chen’an. “What is this…?”

Fu Chen’an took out a pack of compressed biscuits, tore it open, and handed it over. “Check it. Is there any poison in it?”

Doctor Niu looked utterly confused, but still followed instructions.

He sniffed it, licked it, then brought a bowl of water to soak it and carefully examined it before speaking in surprise,
“Young General*, it’s non-toxic, edible, and really tasty. Where did this come from?”

*Used as a respectful/formal title for a young but high-ranking general, often someone of noble background or a general’s son.

Doctor Niu looked at Fu Chen’an with admiration.

Ever since the army had reached the outskirts of Yongzhou City, there had been nothing but yellow sand everywhere, with shortages of water and food.

With no follow-up supplies and Yongzhou hard to capture for the time being, the army was caught in a dilemma.

Fu Chen’an immediately gave the order:
“Have each unit collect silver and come with me to purchase more of this.”

The deputy general turned around to carry out the order.

But Doctor Niu looked as if he had just heard a heavenly scripture,
“Purchase? This stuff was bought?”

Fu Chen’an nodded.
“Yes, I bought it in a small alley.”

Doctor Niu was in disbelief,
“A small alley? There are still merchants in this town?”

The deputy general looked worried,
“Young General, we’ve never seen this kind of thing before, and this place was destroyed long ago—civilians have all fled. How can there still be merchants?”

“If something seems off, it must be suspicious. Young General, please be cautious!”

Everyone began to advise him one after another.

Fu Chen’an looked toward the two deputies,
“Then do you have any other way to get food and water?”

The deputy general shut his chapped lips. His silence said everything.

Everyone fell into silence. In their current plight, they had no choice but to take a gamble.

The sound of footsteps accompanied by the clanking of armor came. Everyone looked outside—the Marshal had returned.

Fu Zhonghai was middle-aged but carried immense authority. As soon as he entered, his eyes landed on the cardboard box on the table.

“I heard you were having people collect silver to buy things?”

Fu Chen’an clasped his hands in salute,
“Marshal Father*, I just bought this from a small alley…”

*He holds the highest military authority, as he commands the entire army. His son, a “少将军” (Young General), defers to him.
