Chapter 329 Millionaire
After finishing up, Li Qin checked to make sure no other traces were left behind, then used Apparition to teleport away from the foreigner's villa.
Standing not far from the villa, Li Qin looked in the direction of the villa, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes;
I came quietly, and I will leave quietly; with a wave of my sleeve, I will take away only some money and gold.
This is a true reflection of the actions taken at this time.
As Li Qin looked around, his gaze shifted to another villa not far away.
At this moment, Li Qin's eyes were full of anticipation;
"A great start! Hopefully, the rest of these foreigners won't disappoint me either."
Li Qin plans to visit ten foreigners tonight.
That was just the first one; there are still nine foreigners we haven't visited yet.
There's still a long time tonight, and Li Qin has plenty of time.
For the next hour or so, Li Qin's figure kept moving around in this villa area.
After he had visited all the selected targets in this area, he planned to leave Deep Water Bay Road.
"This is temporarily finished. The remaining targets are all in the hillside villa area, so we can head over there now."
Li Qin glanced at the villa area behind him, his eyes flashing with a complex mix of excitement and emotion.
What's exciting is that after visiting several foreigners, Li Qin has acquired quite a lot of things.
If you convert all the cash into Hong Kong dollars, it would amount to about 800,000 to 900,000.
As for gold, they also acquired a considerable amount.
It weighs almost ten pounds in total.
This was still the case when Li Qin only took half of the cash and the entire set of furniture each time, without touching the jewelry.
Moreover, through the memories of these foreigners, Li Qin also knew that what he had taken was, while not a drop in the ocean for them, it was still a significant amount.
But it's nothing.
These foreigners are very cautious and almost always keep most of their money in banks.
Another portion is stored in a safe in the office.
Li Qin couldn't bring himself to do anything about these things for the time being.
Even so, the money he received was enough for Li Qin's initial needs.
However, since he had already chosen his targets, Li Qin decided to visit the remaining targets halfway up the mountain as well.
Until Li Qin left Deep Water Bay Road, no one knew that he had ever been here, nor did they know what he had taken away.
Even those foreigners themselves wouldn't know.
To be more precise, after Li Qin takes the money and gold, he will use a spell to alter the memories of these foreigners.
This will help avoid potential problems.
Upon arriving at the hillside villa area, Li Qin resorted to his old tricks, first using dense fog to block people's view over a large area.
Then, under the influence of the Illusionary Body Curse and the Aura Concealment Curse, and with five layers of protective armor curses stacked on top of each other.
What followed was to visit the selected foreigners one by one.
The more foreigners Li Qin visited, the more proficient he became in the entire process.
Not only is it faster, but it is also much quieter;
Whether it's soul-stealing or memory manipulation, Li Qin is becoming increasingly adept at it.
In short, efficiency is becoming increasingly high.
More than an hour later, Li Qin left the hillside villa area.
All the targets selected for tonight have now been visited.
Li Qin found a relatively secluded spot, then turned around and entered the suitcase space.
"Although I'm a little tired, I'm excited. I need to sort out what I've learned tonight first, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
Li Qin sat in the living room within the suitcase space.
With a wave of his hand, all the gains from his visit to the foreigners that evening appeared on the large coffee table in front of him.
Stacks of Hong Kong dollars, British pounds, and US dollars were all piled up haphazardly together.
Next to it was a pile of standard 100-gram gold bars.
Li Qin glanced at the somewhat messy coffee table and casually waved his hand.
"Pack!"
Under the effect of the tidying spell, the previously messy items on the coffee table were automatically organized into a neat and tidy arrangement.
Stacks of Hong Kong dollars, British pounds, and US dollars were neatly stacked together according to their categories.
As for the gold, it was neatly arranged together.
"It looks much better this way."
Li Qin then began to tally up the night's gains:
First and foremost, there was the gold.
This is what Li Qin values most.
It's not because gold is a heavy metal, but because this gold can be used to refine pure gold for alchemy.
Because of the orderly visits, Li Qin easily compiled a complete list of them.
There are a total of seventy-two gold bars here.
That is 7.2 kilograms.
Unfortunately, most of these foreigners' gold is stored in bank vaults.
Looking at the pile of gold bars in front of him, Li Qin even had the idea of sneaking into the bank's vault.
However, this thought was fleeting.
If that were actually done, the impact would be enormous.
"It seems we have no choice but to acquire gold through other means."
Li Qin sighed helplessly, then waved his hand to collect all the gold bars on the coffee table and put them together with the gold he had collected earlier.
After carefully storing the gold, Li Qin then turned his attention to the cash on the coffee table.
It's not as easy to count these cash amounts as it is to count gold.
Fortunately, Li Qin had mastered magic.
With the help of the spell, he managed to tally up all the Hong Kong dollars, British pounds, and US dollars here after some time;
More than 30,000 pounds;
More than fifty thousand US dollars;
As for the Hong Kong dollars, it totaled over six hundred thousand;
If converted to Hong Kong dollars at the current exchange rate, it would amount to approximately 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars.
"I never imagined becoming a millionaire so easily."
Although Li Qin had guessed that he would gain a lot tonight, he did not expect it to be this much.
Even decades later, 1.4 million is not a small number, let alone in this era.
"Unfortunately, I don't have much interest in money. For me, money is just a tool, something to achieve my goals."
Although Li Qin's words sounded a bit pretentious, they were also his true thoughts.
Compared to money, Li Qin cared more about the wizarding tradition and alchemy.
Especially after what happened tonight, Li Qin has gained a more insightful understanding of money.
Although he already knew that after mastering the power of extraordinary magic, acquiring money would not be difficult, in fact, it would be very easy.
It was only tonight that he realized how simple it was, even more so than he had expected.
This is because Li Qin still has some bottom line. If he completely abandons his bottom line, it would be even more terrifying.
"With so much money, the next step is to get my identity document. Once I have legal status, I can start buying a house."
Looking at the cash on the coffee table, a look of satisfaction flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
Getting legal status through a lawyer isn't actually that difficult, especially since Li Qin now has enough money.
So there's no need to worry about this.
However, Li Qin was now conflicted about the matter of buying a house.
