Chen Yiyang quickly found the two medals he wanted to buy.
These two medals looked like currency on the outside, one made of silver and the other of copper.
However, the label under these two medals astonishingly said they were Huaxia's modern currency.
Chen Yiyang curiously glanced at the currency itself.
On the front, it was written in traditional Chinese characters: Korean Merger Memorial, followed by a series of dates and a chrysanthemum pattern.
The back of the medal depicted two roosters and a plot of farmland.
No wonder the shop owner who primarily sells star cards thought these two medals were modern Huaxia currency.
Holding these two medals, Chen Yiyang went to ask the shop owner for a price.
This South Korean shop owner, upon seeing a Huaxia person buying something with Chinese characters.
Instinctively thought this currency with Chinese characters was valuable.
He immediately quoted a price of one million Korean won.
Chen Yiyang bargained with him in simple English for a long time, but it was tough to budge.
The owner seemed convinced that this object from Huaxia was valuable, demanding a high price from Chen Yiyang.
Fortunately, at this moment, a cute girl wearing a ladies' wool hat suddenly came over.
This girl was fluent in both Chinese and Korean and could communicate with Chen Yiyang and the shop owner.
Chen Yiyang immediately asked the girl to tell the owner, "Just tell him, it's not Huaxia currency. This is a commemorative medal made when their country was annexed by Japan. I'm offering up to 150,000."
After Chen Yiyang finished speaking, the girl's face showed a troubled expression.
Chen Yiyang thought the girl was worried about being scolded by the South Korean shop owner, so he said to reassure her.
"We Huaxia people are out here, why be afraid of him? If he dares to scold you, I'll beat him up."
It's unknown whether Chen Yiyang's words had an effect.
The girl still translated Chen Yiyang's words to the shop owner.
Then Chen Yiyang saw the owner's originally white face turn red instantly.
Just when Chen Yiyang thought the shop owner was about to start cursing.
Unexpectedly, the South Korean owner's manners were quite high; he managed to swallow the outburst.
Then asked the girl to relay, "He said, I'll sell them to you for 150,000, but you have to take these two medals back to your country and never bring them back."
"No problem." Chen Yiyang immediately promised.
This kind of black history medals certainly don't fetch a price in South Korea; Chen Yiyang planned to sell them in Japan when he had the chance.
After paying, Chen Yiyang expressed his gratitude to the girl who helped with the translation.
This girl was also in the shop to buy things; Chen Yiyang saw that she had previously bought some star memorabilia cards.
"No need to thank me specifically, I just helped out along the way." The girl replied politely.
"Where are you from?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.
"I'm from Sapporo." The girl replied.
"Sapporo, huh." Chen Yiyang recalled briefly. He didn't immediately recognize which province Sapporo belonged to.
Then suddenly realized, "You're not from China?"
"Yes, sorry." The girl apologized inexplicably.
Alright, it's confirmed she's from Japan then.
"You're also here for tourism?"
"Yes."
"Your Chinese is pretty good, did you study in Huaxia before?"
"No, but I did study Go in Huaxia." The girl replied.
So she's a female Go player.
The girl's name was Ye Yue. The name sounded quite pleasant and she also had a WeChat account.
After adding her as a friend, Chen Yiyang bid farewell.
After buying things, Chen Yiyang returned to where he was staying.
The accountant saw Chen Yiyang coming back so early and teased, "Boss, you came to South Korea and didn't go to that kind of place? Came back so early?"
"Your boss is full of righteousness and keeps himself pure, how could he be so casual."
After Chen Yiyang finished speaking, he was immediately attacked with a white-eye from the accountant.
But Chen Yiyang was already immune.
At his level now, going to that kind of place would be too low-class.
At least it has to be the local girl groups to be worthy.
But Chen Yiyang didn't have that kind of connections.
Time quickly moved to the evening.
After dressing up, Chen Yiyang and the accountant went out to the competition venue.
"Boss is here." Zeng Hai saw Chen Yiyang coming to the backstage and immediately stood up to greet him.
"No need for that." Chen Yiyang waved his hand, indicating everyone not to be too formal.
He was just curious about the backstage during an esports competition, so he came to check it out.
He found out it was just a small room, and didn't want to stay long.
The organizers arranged a separate room for bosses like them, located on the second floor of the venue, considered a small private room.
But when Chen Yiyang went there, he found other people in the lounge.
"Hello, owner of Extreme Path Team."
A few South Koreans warmly greeted him.
The lead person spoke quite good Chinese, introducing himself as Cui Zhihao.
After exchanging pleasantries for a few moments, he quickly revealed the real purpose of coming here.
"Our team is preparing to sell a batch of promising young players; I wonder if the Extreme Path Team is interested in purchasing."
After Cui Zhihao finished speaking and saw Chen Yiyang showing no interest to learn further, he added, "They are all very cheap, and could sign long contracts."
"I'm not very interested; investing in an esports team is just a side business for me." Chen Yiyang decisively refused.
Being uninterested in investing in an esports team was one reason.
The other aspect was that he had heard of the commercial reputation of South Koreans.
South Korea almost entirely copied the United States' societal model, with a belief in money above all.
But in North America, there is at least faith to counterbalance, where a large number of Puritans and Rednecks in some degree resist the corrosion of money on humanity.
But in South Korea, the religion originally tasked with balancing these influences turned into money-crazed cults. This led to a rather sinister societal atmosphere here.
For South Korean businessmen, it's not an issue to scam money, the issue is when they don't succeed.
So when Cui Zhihao mentioned these players are cheap and can be signed for a long time.
Chen Yiyang's first reaction was that there was a trap within, so he decisively refused.
"Alright then, if you change your mind, you can call me." Cui Zhihao handed a personal business card to Chen Yiyang.
Chen Yiyang accepted it directly.
Although the person seemed to be planning to deceive him, getting to know him didn't hurt.
After chatting a few more sentences with Chen Yiyang, Cui Zhihao and his group left.
After sending off Cui Zhihao, Chen Yiyang originally wanted to enjoy today's extremely important match for the Extreme Path Team.
After all, today, Extreme Path was facing the team that defeated the most hopeful championship contender in the domestic division, which had the big-boss ADC player.
In the end.
Chen Yiyang was still holding the apple sliced by the accountant, but the match was already over.
The Extreme Path Team crushed their opponent with a 3-0 victory.
This was extremely savage, and the scenes were extremely violent.
Chen Yiyang had been busy before, so he didn't have time to watch the match.
After watching today's match, he was completely bewildered.
Just how did this team manage to defeat the number one seed from the domestic division and reach the semi-finals?
