Chapter 49 What do you think
Xu Zhiyan stalks the city silently. In the eyes of all security equipment with surveillance functions, she is a ghost.
Only the hungry stray dogs on the street would notice her presence and follow her for a certain distance. After discovering that the boy had not given out any food, they turned around and gave up, continuing to look for the next target to follow. This is the only viable way to survive without being eliminated by the city.
In order not to have her journey recorded by the transportation system, she used a very primitive form of transportation: a bicycle.
Walk through the strangely lit commercial streets at night, through the bustling lies in the center of the city, to the dark corners where the street lights cannot illuminate.
This is a gray area where urban security is difficult to penetrate, and vagrants and artists can be seen everywhere like wild dogs. There are simple shacks everywhere, selling all kinds of weird and weird gadgets. The shop owner claims to be a rare antique that has been passed down for centuries, but smart people know that it is just a childish trick.
However, smart people also know that there is not only poverty, squalor and imitations here, but also the largest underground auction house in the entire city.
Therefore, in those extremely simple antique shops, there are indeed rare treasures mixed among them. If you have a good eye and good luck, it is possible to become a millionaire overnight.
The people living here have nothing but wealth.
Unfortunately, the young man's goal was not here. She avoided the rich kids who specially participated in the auction and approached the destination bit by bit from the most remote corner.
Although her clothes were low-key enough, there were still sharp-eyed vendors who noticed that Xu Zhiyan was unusual.
After further confirming that Xu Zhiyan was alone——
"Brother, all the things I have here have their origins. If you like anything, just pick one and bring it with you." It was simply a forced trial, in a dirty, moldy place where there was no neon light to shine through. , the stall owner blocked her way.
At the same time, several people with stern faces appeared out of nowhere, and they surrounded the young man very purposefully.
It seems that if you don't buy it, you won't be allowed to leave.
The young man raised his eyebrows.
Six people, visually inspected, had weapons in their hands.
She put her right hand behind her back, and the fingers composed of mechanical components silently developed sharp blades, reflecting an imperceptible cold light.
Yi Wen rarely issued any reminder because the AI detected that Xu Zhiyan's heartbeat frequency had not changed at all.
The young man didn't seem to take his dangerous situation to heart, but looked around casually. Those people followed her gaze and were surprised to find that she was actually looking at a bracelet on the stall.
She doesn't really think this is an ordinary roadside stall, right?
Seeing that the young man seemed to be really interested in the things here, the leader immediately stepped forward to sell it: "This is pure gold, and it is inlaid with emeralds, treasures found in tombs."
Pure gold?
Xu Zhiyan looked at the rust on the bracelet and fell silent. The stall owner still used the same old rhetoric: "Originally, I didn't sell it for any money, but seeing that you and this bracelet are so destined, I might as well sell it to you. I don't want more, just 300,000, which is quite interesting in the antique market." ”
Xu Zhiyan thought that this was more than just fate, and she pushed up her earphones.
"Ivan, what do you think?"
"It is made of copper-zinc alloy, and the so-called jade inlaid on it is high borosilicate. In layman's terms, it is cut from the bottom of a beer bottle. It is speculated that in order to increase the density and make it closer to gold, a small amount of lead was added. Regardless of its superb filigree inlay In terms of technology and raw materials alone, the value of this imitation is no more than 5 yuan.”
Xu Zhiyan said nothing, just picked up the bracelet and glanced at it casually in front of everyone. The leader was very happy. As long as she touched the bracelet, she would have to buy the thing no matter what.
Did he ever think that the boy's next words would leave him stunned on the spot.
"Five dollars." The young man finally looked at him.
"You said...what?"
"Isn't this very clear?" Xu Zhiyan repeated with a smile, "It's too expensive. If it's as cheap as five yuan, I'll buy it."
The stall owner was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid you're not kidding me."
"I have been here for so many years, and I have never met anyone who bargained with me." He stared at Xu Zhiyan closely, like a poisonous snake.
"I have shown so much sincerity, but you still think it's too expensive. Brother, you look down on me."
"You don't look like someone who is short of money. If you work in our business happily, we will treat you as a noble person and call you big brother. But if you don't drink the toast, you will be fined. Don't You guys are welcome.”
Xu Zhiyan tilted his head, "I said this bracelet is not worth 300,000, but I didn't say this thing is not worth 300,000."
She didn't take the threats from these people seriously at all, walked aside as if no one else was around, and picked up an inconspicuous bag as she spoke.
The six people looked at each other again.
Stall owner: "...you want this?"
"Where did you get this?" Xu Zhiyan was obviously very satisfied. She took out the candy from the bag, "White Rabbit toffee, this kind of snack has not been bought in the capital for a long time. I didn't expect to find it here."
She turned to look at the stall owner, her eyes bright and full of expectation: "Otherwise, I spent 300,000 yuan to buy this bag of candies, and your bracelet can be given to me as a gift."
