Apocalypse: Everyone's been reborn, so what if I become the Zombie King?

The next second, Song Kaiyuan suddenly took a step forward.

His movements were nimble, unlike those of an elderly person, and he threw the paper fan in his hand to the ground without hesitation.

His cloudy old eyes shone with a sharp light.

He stared intently at the box in Zhang Xuan's hand, his gaze as intense as a subway pervert encountering a two-dimensional anime girl!

"This! This! This is sandalwood?"

"You actually have some small-leaf sandalwood!!"

Zhang Xuan curled his lip.

"It's just small-leaf sandalwood. Although it's precious, you don't need to be so surprised, teacher!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Song Kaiyuan in front of him was filled with rage!

His two tufts of white beard rose and fell in waves.

"What do you know! You idiot!"

"This is no ordinary sandalwood; this is star-patterned sandalwood, and judging by its quality, it is definitely the finest among fine sandalwood!"

"Who is so wasteful as to use such precious materials to build a box!"

"If I find out who it is, I'll have a serious discussion with him!"

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes.

“You will have your chance; this is an heirloom from my family.”

Song Kaiyuan, however, paid no attention to Zhang Xuan's teasing. He spoke with a look of anxiety.

"Quickly, put it on the table so I can take a good look at it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan immediately placed the box on the table.

Song Kaiyuan's eyes gleamed as he admired the patterns on the box.

The glint in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Beautiful! Art, pure art!"

"The carving technique and the patterns are simply flawless; this must be the work of a master."

"Moreover, this box looks quite old, at least several hundred years old!"

"Kid, you're about to strike it rich!!"

Hearing Song Kaiyuan's generous praise, Zhang Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"My own charming ancestors were quite reliable; they didn't leave any fakes for their descendants."

"I'm getting more and more curious about what treasures are hidden in that treasure trove!"

Just as Zhang Xuan was lost in thought, Song Kaiyuan had already opened the box in front of him.

The next second, a shout rang out throughout the entire office!

"Aaaaah! What a waste! What a waste!"

"This! This was actually carved from a single piece of small-leaf sandalwood! It wasn't pieced together!!"

"This box is nearly fifty centimeters long. I can hardly believe that there is such a thick piece of small-leaf sandalwood in it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan, who was standing to the side, was stunned!

It's worth noting that there are twenty growth rings per centimeter of sandalwood.

It takes twenty years to grow one centimeter.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten sandalwood trees are hollow. To date, the thickest piece of small-leaf sandalwood discovered is only twenty centimeters long!

A 50-centimeter-thick piece of small-leaf sandalwood is simply a miracle that has never been seen before!

At this moment, Song Kaiyuan's breathing became rapid!

His cloudy eyes were bloodshot.

"Aaaaah! I'm furious! Your ancestor was utterly inhuman, wasting such a precious resource!"

"After I pass away, I will definitely go down to the underworld and fight him to the death!"

Compared to Song Kaiyuan's heartache, Zhang Xuan only cared about one thing: the exact value of the box.

Zhang Xuan asked timidly.

"Teacher, in your opinion, how much is this box worth?"

Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Song Kaiyuan immediately held up five fingers!

As a student of Song Kaiyuan, Zhang Xuan naturally had some knowledge of small-leaf sandalwood.

The price of small-leaf sandalwood of this thickness is no longer comparable to the market price of small-leaf sandalwood!

Then he tentatively asked.

"five hundred?"

Song Kaiyuan shook his head.

Zhang Xuan's eyes widened instantly, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

"Five, five million?"

Zhang Xuan revealed what he thought was an astronomical figure.

Although this type of thick rosewood is quite precious, it's just a box.

But Song Kaiyuan shook his head again.

Upon seeing this action, Zhang Xuan trembled uncontrollably.

"Could it be fifty million? The materials I need for refining corpses only cost one or two hundred million! This box is worth fifty million?"

This price was beyond Zhang Xuan's imagination. To confirm his suspicions, Zhang Xuan's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Teacher, do you mean..."

Before Zhang Xuan could finish speaking, Song Kaiyuan suddenly spoke up.

"Priceless! This is absolutely priceless!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.

"Priceless! So that's what you mean by having five fingers!"

"Priceless treasure? It's not even worth five million. Another way to describe a priceless treasure is that it has a price but no market."

"How much it can sell for is entirely up to luck!"

Noticing Zhang Xuan's disappointment, Song Kaiyuan chuckled and patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder.

"You brat! What are you so down about!"

"I guarantee this thing will be worth at least ten million!"

"There happens to be a fairly large auction at the auction house tomorrow. If you agree, I'll arrange for this item to be included!"

"Starting bid: ten million! If it fails to sell, your teacher will cover the loss!"

Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Ten million! That number is already terrifying! I originally thought it would only be a few hundred thousand."

"Ten million is more than enough for me to do a lot of things!"

With this thought in mind, Zhang Xuan nodded heavily.

"Ten million, ten million it is! Thank you so much, teacher!"

Song Kaiyuan stroked his beard, his face full of smiles.

"We've been master and disciple, why are you being so polite?"

"Besides, if someone really likes this, fifty million isn't impossible."

"But my maximum capacity, teacher, is ten million!"

"After all, teacher, I'm not that interested in this stuff."

"If it's some kind of official kiln porcelain, then your teacher will definitely take it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan nodded.

"There will be more in the future, teacher!"

Song Kaiyuan scoffed.

"You think this is just a cabbage? Your ancestors were incredibly lucky to have even owned this box!"

"That's great! Once you deliver this box tomorrow, your sister won't have to work at the factory anymore!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Sigh! Yuqing suffered so much and worked so hard to get into university!"

"Once this box is sold, your brother will never let you suffer again!"

"Once your brother refines himself into the Supreme Ancestor Zombie, you, sister, will be the queen of the entire world!"

After saying goodbye to Song Kaiyuan, Zhang Xuan did not choose to return to his dormitory. Instead, he used his last two hundred yuan to book a standard room at a hotel.

After all, it's best to be cautious when carrying a suitcase worth ten million.

The moon was bright and the stars were few; night was gradually falling.

Filled with endless hope, Zhang Xuan fell into a deep sleep, clutching his ten million.

However, he did not notice that the ancient jade on his chest was emitting a warm aura, and strands of golden light were merging into Zhang Xuan's body.
