The Peerless Ring

Chapter 35: Chapter 35. An unexpected call



This is bad!

Master Sun's words dashed Jaxon's hope of making a fortune by selling ores.

There were indeed a large number of ores in that cave, and they were of good quality. However, they were just ores. To make money, he had to sell them. But now, problems arose. Not only could he not explain the origin of these ores, but it was also difficult to find someone who could buy them in large quantities.

Of course, in the short term, Jaxon didn't need to worry about the issue of finding a buyer. After all, Master Sun could still buy some. But in the long run, he needed to find other buyers.

Thinking of this, Jaxon took out another piece of obsidian from his backpack, handed it to Master Sun, and said, "Master, how much is this stone worth?"

As soon as Jaxon took out the stone, Master Sun looked over. The moment he saw the obsidian, he became even more excited than before. He snatched it and said, "Obsidian? It's actually obsidian?

And it's high - quality obsidian! I haven't seen obsidian of this quality for many years! With this, I can forge dark - gold equipment, and maybe even attempt to create legendary equipment!"

It seemed that this obsidian was indeed a very good ore. However, Jaxon was more concerned about how much money it could fetch.

"I'll take this ore," Master Sun said without hesitation. "I'll give you three hundred gold coins. What do you think?"

Three hundred?!

Jaxon was delighted. He had originally thought that selling it for a few dozen gold coins would be satisfying. He didn't expect Master Sun to offer three hundred gold coins right away.

A high - quality iron ore was only worth ten gold coins, while a high - quality obsidian was worth three hundred gold coins. The gap was huge!

In that cave, although there were not as many rare ores like obsidian as iron ores, there were still quite a few.

I'm going to get rich. I'm really going to get rich this time!

Of course, to truly get rich, he still had to sell these ores.

"Okay, no problem," Jaxon said. In this village, apart from Master Sun, the only one who might buy ores was probably that shrewd merchant Liu at the general store. The price he offered definitely wouldn't be higher than Master Sun's.

"Did you also find this ore in that mine cave?" Master Sun looked at Jaxon and asked.

"Yes," Jaxon replied.

"Seems like you're really lucky," Master Sun said, looking at Jaxon and nodding. "You managed to obtain such high - quality ores. Maybe you can really discover ore veins in the wild. If you get good ores, you can bring a small amount to me, and I'll buy them. If it's a large quantity, it's best if you take them to the county town or even the main city to sell. The demand there is greater, and the prices are higher."

Master Sun seemed to be a bit suspicious of the origin of Jaxon's ores. However, instead of exposing him, he gave Jaxon some advice on where to sell the ores.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Master," Jaxon thanked him. At the moment, his level was still low, and he didn't plan to leave this place for now. Moreover, his plan to plant on the back mountain had just started, and he couldn't leave for the time being. So, it seemed that he had to put the matter of selling ores on hold.

Master Sun nodded and said, "Alright, as long as you know. There are a few swords in the corner. You can pick one for yourself when you leave. Consider it a gift from your master."

Apparently, Master Sun had noticed Jaxon's eager and covetous look at those long swords earlier.

"Thank you, Master!" This time, Jaxon was even happier.

A craftsman must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do his work well. With that long sword in hand, killing wild monsters would be easier.

It had taken a lot of time to dig the cave earlier. So, not long after Jaxon left Master Sun's place, he was teleported back to the real world.

Although he couldn't sell a large number of ores to Master Sun, Jaxon was still satisfied with his gains from this trip to the blacksmith shop.

The ores on the back mountain weren't going anywhere. Even if he couldn't sell them for now, it didn't matter much to keep them there.

"Well, in that case, I have to find another way to earn money for the village chief. It seems I can only go kill wild monsters," Jaxon thought to himself.

This was a reliable way to make money. No one would suspect anything. Moreover, the corpses of the monsters could be disassembled and sold to many people, and he didn't need to worry about their purchasing power.

Besides, Jaxon had just obtained a good weapon. Presumably, killing wild monsters would be much easier.

After taking a short nap, Jaxon got up to exercise. However, after exercising, Jaxon received a rather surprising phone call. The person who called him was the middle - aged man from yesterday.

"Is this Mr. Jaxon? After our discussion, we've decided to hire you as a PE teacher at our school. When do you think you'll be available to come and complete the formalities?" The voice of the middle - aged man came from the phone.

So soon?

Originally, Jaxon thought this was unlikely and that the middle - aged man was just joking. After all, he had no academic qualifications and no experience. It was difficult to become a primary school teacher, let alone a teacher at a university, especially a university ranked among the top five in the country. That was even more impossible.

However, what was going on now? Why was this going so smoothly? And why was it so fast?

Could it be that the middle - aged man was joking?

"I'm on campus right now and can come over at any time," Jaxon decided to go and check it out.

"Alright, come to the Teachers' Building now. I'll be waiting for you in my office," the middle - aged man said.

Jaxon didn't expect the man to be so early. At this time, many students hadn't even gotten up yet. As the vice - principal, he was already up and in his office.

"Okay, I'll go right away," Jaxon said.

The teaching conditions at Goldenleaf University were quite good. There were not only many teaching buildings but also a library building, an experimental building, a Teachers' Building, etc. Following the man's instructions, Jaxon found his office on the ninth floor of the Teachers' Building.

"He really is the vice - principal," Jaxon muttered to himself as he looked at the sign hanging outside the office.

Could it be that this wasn't a joke at all?

Jaxon subconsciously tidied his clothes. Over the past year or so, although he didn't have much other experience, he had quite a lot of experience in job interviews. So, he didn't feel too nervous.

Dong, dong, dong!

"Come in!"

Jaxon pushed the door open and entered. In the spacious office, he saw the middle - aged man from yesterday again.

"Let me introduce myself formally. I'm Yue Linshan, the vice - principal of Goldenleaf University," the middle - aged man reached out and introduced himself.

"Jaxon," Jaxon also reached out and said.
