Li Hai did a rough calculation.

According to the current market, one ton of gold is worth about 12 million US dollars.

So one hundred tons of gold would be 1.2 to 1.3 billion US dollars, and two hundred tons would be 2.4 to 2.5 billion US dollars.

And to convert two hundred tons of gold into US dollars within a short month.

As the saying goes, rats have their ways, and snakes have their Dao.

The method Yuri mentioned for converting gold into US dollars would most likely involve flying or sailing all over the world, contacting various military armed groups, and reselling weapons.

The risks and troubles involved would definitely be explosive.

However, it could also be seen from Yuri's words that he was very confident in his ability to handle these risks and troubles.

So, it was clear that he had reached an extremely high level in selling weapons and dealing with various organizations, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident.

Then, in this process, some premium and some consumption would be generated.

For example, this batch of gold, which should have been worth 2.4 to 2.5 billion, turned into 2.3 billion US dollars plus a pile of guns and bullets after one round.

Li Hai felt that this was acceptable.

It was impossible to expect a horse to run without eating grass.

Therefore, it was normal for Yuri to earn one or two hundred million from it.

Moreover, Li Hai could also use the weapons Yuri would bring back.

That batch of firearms and ammunition could be used to train and arm the Holy Church Army.

A militia organization needed a large amount of bullets to be 'fed' in order to become a paramilitary organization.

"By the way, these weapons you mentioned, were they from the Soviet Union?" Li Hai asked curiously.

Facing this question, Yuri smiled and did not deny it: "Your Excellency, when the Empire collapsed, the excessive weapons it produced became useless.

Instead of letting these high-quality military industrial products rust in warehouses, it's better to distribute them to groups who need them more.

This way, one party gets bread and milk to fill their stomachs, and the other party gains sufficient security.

It's a win-win situation."

"Hmm." Li Hai nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."

After a few more casual words, the two left the church one after another.

And after walking out of this church, everyone who met Li Hai on the way, upon seeing him, would quickly put down their work, devoutly and respectfully make the sign of the cross on their chests, and say "Amen."

To these devout believers, Li Hai would also nod and smile in response, appearing extremely amiable and showing the demeanor of a cult leader.

Soon, Li Hai led Yuri to the front of a warehouse.

"Could it be that the gold is in this warehouse?" Yuri thought to himself as he looked at the rusty warehouse in front of him.

Just then, Li Hai raised his hand and waved.

Bang!

It was as if an invisible force had descended.

The steel door of the warehouse in front of Yuri was immediately violently pulled aside, shaking the warehouse walls and causing large pieces of plaster to fall off, and also making Yuri's pupils tremble uncontrollably.

"Your Excellency Saint Anthony possesses such power."

As he secretly sighed, Yuri looked up at the wide-open warehouse door in front of him, and then was surprised to find that it was empty inside.

Just as he couldn't help but want to ask, Li Hai raised his hand again and 'conjured' a full ten cubic meters of gold bars out of thin air in front of him.

"Oh my God!"

Yuri looked at the glittering ten cubic meters of gold in front of him, his heart rate couldn't help but accelerate, thumping so hard that he trembled all over.

But Yuri couldn't care less about that; he rushed a few steps to the gold and couldn't help but touch it with his hand.

It was cold, cool, and smooth, with an excellent feel.

"God~"

Yuri caressed the gold bars and exclaimed, "I can guarantee that the magic of gold can defeat anyone."

"You don't have to be so absolute." Li Hai slowly walked over and joked, "At least, it can't defeat me."

As he spoke, he waved his hand again, 'conjuring' two silver-glowing liquid robots out of thin air.

"Oh my God!" Yuri exclaimed, "Your Excellency Saint Anthony, what are these things?"

Li Hai smiled slightly: "They are your bodyguards."

Out of curiosity, Li Hai had manufactured thirty liquid robots using that machine over the past two days.

Originally, he couldn't have possibly manufactured such high-tech robots, simply because their Materials list contained many controlled Materials that couldn't be bought even with money.

Such as uranium, rings, xenon, and so on.

However, in a small corner of that bracelet space, Li Hai fortunately discovered a considerable amount of material, all of which matched the liquid robot manufacturing Materials list.

Li Hai guessed that these should have been collected and placed by Qu Rijing.

But this wasn't important; he was never someone who liked to get to the bottom of things. As long as there were Materials to use, he didn't care where they came from.

"Bodyguards?" Yuri asked doubtfully, "They—or act?"

Li Hai didn't answer, merely ordered the two quietly standing robots:

"Primary command—from now on, you two will be Yuri Orlov's personal bodyguards, activate!"

As soon as he spoke, the two robots quickly and visibly transformed into two muscular white men in black suits and quickly walked to Yuri's sides.

"This—" Yuri looked at the two strong men, utterly bewildered.

"Just consider them a miracle."

Li Hai said calmly, "In short, with their perception and reaction speed, even if someone tries to shoot you from thousands of meters away with a sniper rifle, it will be impossible.

Unless you are besieged by a tank battalion or continuously bombarded by missile clusters, but I don't think you would be that unlucky, right?"

"Of course not, of course not!"

Yuri bowed, shocked and excited, "Thank you, thank you for your bodyguards, Your Excellency Saint Anthony, I will definitely complete your mission and bring this money back completely!"

"Hmm." Li Hai nodded, "I believe you."

A few hours later, the two hundred tons of gold were transported out of Chunmu Town by Yuri using several fully sealed trucks.

Over the next month, he would travel to Central Asia, North Africa, and South America, converting all these heavy gold bars into crisp, ink-scented US dollars.

And after Yuri left, Li Hai also happened to receive a call from the BBC Discovery Channel's Against the Grain program team; it was from Director James.

The other party informed him that this program would be recorded at night two days later, and it would be a live broadcast, expected to be watched by over ten million viewers.

So Director James hoped that Li Hai could be mentally prepared, because this was not a pre-recorded show, and there was no way to shout "Cut" to stop.

At the same time, James also hoped that Li Hai could arrive at the program's backstage in New York in the afternoon of that day.

This would allow for more ample time, and both PK parties could also have an exchange before going on stage.

However, Li Hai didn't know what he, as a religious figure, had to discuss with these materialists.
