This result directly made everyone who paid attention to this matter stir with greed in their hearts!

According to a consensus among the gold industry, there are ten different purity grades for a bar: the lowest being 8k of 33.3% purity and the highest 24k with 99.9% or more purity.

Of course, 100% purity was almost impossible since no standard refinement method could achieve such a feat.

In everyone’s speculation, this room made of gold was already incredible. So it didn’t matter anymore to the audience that it was low quality.

However…… The following result of the test was a heavy hammer striking into their souls!

“24K! It’s actually 24K!!”

“What about the barking dogs? Get out here right now! Especially the one who said he will eat the wall while doing a handstand. I want to see your performance right now!”

“Hoho, quit being so cocky. It’s only some bowls and chopsticks. The entire house didn’t even get tested yet!”

“Does any big boss know how much it’s worth if all this gold is 24K purity ?”

“Upstairs, don’t you see that many people have started measuring already? Suffice it to say, the value is enough to scare someone to death!”

……

In fact, in addition to the gold experts, Detective Fang Guofeng also invited professionals to measure the area of the room and the size of the furnishings.

Outside the villa.

Old Wang and Old Horse glanced at each other, both startled by the first result.

If this room really was all 24K, that wouldn’t only be shocking, it’s terrifying! Why? Because it shows their so-called bids for the wine and artworks are pennies in the eye of the owner!

Old Wang shuddered at the idea, “If the entire gold house is 24K, then it is indeed quite appropriate to compare it to the end of all rich’s.”

Old Horse shook his head and got all heavy in the voice: “Have you forgotten there is another sentence behind the first? He called it a pile of garbage!”

Old Wang’s expression suddenly froze.

Due to the gold being so shocking, he had subconsciously ignored the latter.

After all, no one in their right mind would associate a house of gold with garbage.

“Comparing the gold house to a pile of…. garbage….”

Old Wang didn’t know what to say aside from yelling out curses.

“In addition to garbage, I think the emphasis should be on the ‘pile’ word!”

“A… pile? Didn’t you…” Old Wang’s heart suddenly jumped as his pupils shrank inward. He seems to have remembered something that scared him silly.

Old Horse nods, “If it’s just the gold house, why use the word pile? There’s probably something else in there!”

“Hiss—”

“This Guy is so terrifying!”

……

National Security Bureau.

When the test results finally got sent over to the department, the entire conference room had become enveloped in shock.

Some people still couldn’t believe it: “It can’t be that even the walls are pure gold, right?”

“Even if I smash in my life’s earning, I still wouldn’t be able to afford a single pillow in there….”

“Is this world that rich? How come I never knew?”

Compared with his subordinates who were questioning their own life choices, Li Tianlong’s performance was very calm like he expected such results.

“The result is already obvious, the whole gold house cannot be fake!” The director inhales deeply and interrupts the noisy room.

The short-haired woman wondered, “Why do you say that?”

Li Tianlong smiled, pleased that his most capable assistant would ask him: “If you think about the previous wine and artworks, you will understand those things aren’t considered valuable in the guy’s eye. Who would casually place their valuables around and not inside a safe? Besides, let’s shift our perspective. Imagine you owning so many valuable items, would you suddenly go forge a fake gold house to drag your own status down? You wouldn’t, plain and simple.”

The agents all nods in realization over the reminder. Indeed, who would go through the trouble of making themselves look silly when they’re already so high up there?

……

Damei Dynasty International Information Collection Office.

Director Jill continued to reassure the shocked crowd in his presence.

“Quit being so surprised all of you! Who here doesn’t have a few gold bars in their possession? I dare say this is all a ruse!”

……

Back over in the underground gold house, the testing continued without issue and the results were soon released one after the other.

Toilet…… real!

Pillow…… real!

Bed…… real!

Quilts, televisions, sofas… real, real!!

……

Looking at the rows of 24K values on the detector, everyone finally couldn’t hold back their sanity and screamed like some lost banshee.

“Mamma Mia! My heart’s shattered, someone broke my heart! It’s all 24K, and it’s all solid bricks!”

“How much is this?!!! Does the richest man in Dahan even have this much money?”

“The richest man? Upstairs, I fear you misunderstand something here about the value of gold! I’ll give you a simple example. Take the gold pillow on the bed. The length is 80cm with a high of 40cm, since the density of gold is 19.2, this pillow should weigh about 927360g. Now tell me, how much should the thing be worth if we went by the current price tag of a gold bar’s market value?”

“My god, that gold pillow is worth 3.9 million?!”

“It’s just a pillow too! If you count that entire bed, wouldn’t it be over a billion dollar there alone? What about the walls? The sofas? The cabinets….”

“If you think about the size of this house, I conservatively estimate that it is also about 200 square meters! The amount of gold consumed to build this place is simply immeasurable!”

“Let me give a more comparable example then. The current Dahan Dynasty only has around 2200 tons of gold reserves in the national vault, and this house alone should weigh around 1000 tons at least….”

“AHHHHH, someone stabbed a knife up my ass, how dare they do this to my poor soul!”

……

If the viewers watching it through the screen were reacting this strongly, what about the people actually inside the underground building?

Duhhh!

Duhhh!

Dadadadada!

They could swear on their ancestor’s grave, they had never experienced something so intense in their entire lifetime. If one of them had a heart problem, they would’ve indeed died by now. Thankfully that’s not the case; otherwise, Song would be a murderer today and thrown in jail.

“Bring the mapping data over.” Detective Fang Guofeng forcibly calms himself despite screaming inside. He needs to be the big man here and get the results in order.

Not missing that order, Music also poked her head over to check up on the survey with the camera.

“The volume of the bed is xxxxx, the walls are xxxxx, and the floor is xxxx….”

“Can someone knowledgeable with math tell me how much is one cubic meter of pure gold?”

“I’ll tell you, it’s 80.6 million with current market value!”

“?…..”

……

One by one, the values passed through the eyes of Fang Guofeng and his assistants. However, unlike the chief detective who had a heart of steel, his subordinates weren’t so strong-willed. Some had collapsed due to their knees giving way from numbness.

“Chief Fang, this… this gold house is worth upwards of 500 billion….”

Nothing needs to be done, merely saying this number aloud was enough to crush these poor souls into the dirt. Why was that? Simple, the wealthiest family inside the country had assets worth up to 200 billion dollars according to public estimation, and many are not movable cash flow!

Compared with this gold house, the previous wine and artworks are nothing! It’s not a fraction of what this thing’s made of!

“Five hundred billion? Che~ you lot don’t even know what gold is!” It’s then Old Zhou spoke up again with his derisive voice.

Fang Guofeng promptly turned to the gold merchant, “What do you mean by that? Explain!”

“The purity of this gold is unlike any I’ve come across before, likely above the 24k grade if brought to market. But that’s not the only value it has. You all seem to forget there’s another measuring factor in valuing an item – that’s the craftsmanship!”

That reminder immediately brought everyone to attention.

Indeed, the processing cost of gold wasn’t cheap by any standard.

Pleased with himself after getting their attention, Old Zhou continues: “Do you know how hard it is to build this gold house? Ignoring the transport fee, there’s also the refining cost and technical cost of shaping everything to shape. I can speak for the entire industry, finding a company or master capable of working gold to this level of fine detail is next to none! Simply said, the cost would be on par with the value of this gold itself! Do you idiots get it now? The value isn’t in the billions, it’s a trillion!!!”
