Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 397 - 286 Zodiac Spending_3

This car could support Feng Yi’s weight but not his physical attacks.

Jia’s mind raced, pondering emergency situations.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Feng Yi returned to his usual self, and those dangerous signals ceased.

Outside the car.

Dogs taken out for walks in the evening suddenly bristled as if agitated, warily surveilling their surroundings.

In the park, the deadly chase between cats and weasels also paused momentarily.

The surrounding streets and residential areas saw numerous rats scurrying about.

People screamed and shouted, clamoring about something.

Luckily, this commotion soon subsided.

Anxious residents inquired about the cause, and it turned out that some storefront owners near the street had hired a rat extermination company, which created far more noise than expected.

The rat extermination company was baffled; despite handling many jobs, they had never caused such an uproar before!

Perhaps the rats living in this area are prone to emotional outbursts?

Watching those rats frenetically squeak and dash away, it was as if they were fleeing for their lives.

The rat extermination company reluctantly took the blame for this unforeseen trouble.

Meanwhile, Feng Yi was reflecting.

He had intended to try driving the rats out of this area, but too many other animals were affected, like pets, and it would be even worse if he frightened children!

After testing a bit more, Feng Yi quickly stopped.

Forget it, professional matters are better left to the professionals. His indiscriminate approach could easily cause collateral damage or even lead to greater negative consequences.

Better not to meddle.

He quietly returned home and ate a midnight snack.

During the dinner party with his two friends, he hadn’t been able to eat his fill, so now he needed to replenish some food.

After eating and drinking, he slept soundly.

The next day.

Feng Yi was going to a shop where he had bought a zodiac copper coin last year.

During the months away from Rong City, the shop owner sent him a message, saying they had acquired similar zodiac coins and invited him to take a look when he was free.

This trip to Rong City was a good opportunity to check them out.

He didn’t ride a bike; Jia drove him there.

On the way, Feng Yi received a message from Qian Feiyang.

Qian Feiyang had rented Feng Yi’s apartment. Today, he had his staff help move some stuff in, and while organizing the place, they noticed a scratch on the floor tile at the entrance, so he took a photo to ask Feng Yi about it.

Feng Yi replied, "It’s from moving stuff before."

After sending it, he added:

"Apart from that, there might be some other scratches here and there, don’t worry about them, they’re all made by me."

Once the source of the marks was confirmed with Feng Yi, Qian Feiyang felt relieved. It was fine as long as it wasn’t his staff who caused them.

Feng Yi looked out the car window and put away his phone.

They had arrived.

Feng Yi had arranged a time with the shop owner the day before. When he arrived, the owner was already waiting for him.

Feng Yi’s gaze swept over the carefully maintained luxury vintage goods in the shop, then uninterestedly shifted away.

The shop owner, Yu Qiao, brought out the ancient coins she had received.

Since Feng Yi had mentioned his interest in zodiac coins, Yu Qiao singled out this category before Feng Yi’s arrival.

"These are all the zodiac coins I’ve got. See which ones you’re interested in," she said.

Yu Qiao had no particular interest in coin collecting; she just followed the trend. She preferred design items featuring copper coin elements, like pendants, ornaments, and certain decorations, regardless of whether they were from a long time ago.

Feng Yi examined the zodiac coins Yu Qiao had presented.

They included both modern and far older ones, with varying states of preservation. Some had obviously been well maintained by collectors, while others seemed randomly picked from a pile of discarded trash.

Feng Yi, looking at the zodiac coins from different eras, could immediately identify his targets. Those related to his lineage were easy to recognize.

Like the surface of the cave in the mountains, with prolonged contact, they underwent special changes. Even after hundreds or thousands of years, these modifications persisted on the coins.

Previously, he did not quite understand what made the zodiac coins related to his lineage different from ordinary coins. Now, as he grew and his abilities improved, he received more ancestral memories from his DNA, giving him some insights into these matters.

Is it possible that the zodiac coins, imbued with blessings or prayers, undergo certain changes after being kept by ancestors for a long time?

In other words—

They were consecrated by the ancestors!

Seeing Feng Yi silently contemplating the coins without voicing any concerns or making selections, Yu Qiao thought he had reservations. She reassured him:

"Don’t worry, the provenance is legal, it’s registered and comes with certificates. I wouldn’t dare to deal with items of unknown origins!"

Feng Yi smiled but did not elaborate further.

Selecting the two zodiac coins he was interested in, he had no need to look at the rest.

Yu Qiao was stunned by Feng Yi’s quick decision. Shouldn’t one examine antiques closely?

He chose his targets without even touching them?

Had he even looked for a full minute?

Moreover, the two selected zodiac coins, while in excellent condition, were not exceptionally well-crafted in workmanship or design.

The coins she offered to Feng Yi had been appraised in advance, and she had even ranked them according to their collectible value, making pricing easier.

The two zodiac coins Feng Yi chose were not even in the top ten in terms of collectible value among these ancient coins.

However, if judging only by their state of preservation, these two did indeed seem untouched by centuries of wear and tear.
