Chapter 492 Substituting one thing for another
The sound of fireworks attracted everyone's attention, and everyone quickly gathered in the open space in front of the office building.
Most of the people who came to participate in the black market knew about the treasure appraisal conference, but the notice was very vague. It had been a long time since the last treasure appraisal conference, and most people had no idea about the specific rules.
"What are the requirements for the Treasure Appraisal Conference?" Someone asked a question.
The girl in professional attire smiled slightly: "Of course there are requirements. The conference is held in the large conference room on the first floor. It can only accommodate more than a hundred people at most. It is impossible for every guest to participate."
"Of course, we absolutely believe in your strength, but as this is an auction-based event, if you want to participate, you still have to undergo capital verification."
As she said that, the girl took out something like a thermometer gun and held it in her hand: "This is a detection treasure developed by our Yuanqiang Group. It can detect the total value of the treasure box..."< br>
"Of course, you don't have to worry about exposing your wealth. There are only three levels of this Noble Phantasm. If the green light turns on, it means that the total value is very low. It may not even be a rare-level Noble Phantasm; if the blue light turns on, it means the treasure is precious. The total value is average, and there are at least rare-level treasure phantoms, but there may not be, or there is only one epic-level treasure phantom; as for the third level, the purple light lights up, indicating that there are more than two pieces in your treasure box An epic treasure! ”
"Yuanqiang Group promises everyone here that it will never reveal the specific contents of your treasure boxes. In fact, as far as I know, there is currently no treasure phantom that can do this."
At this point, many guests also nodded. As a product of the Chaos Mission, the Treasure Box has a very high status. If the Yuanqiang Group really has the ability to explore the contents at will, then I am afraid it will not be limited to running a small Black market.
"The threshold for participating in the Treasure Appraisal Conference is to turn on the purple light." The girl raised her hand to test the treasure: "Then, if you want to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Conference, please come to me for capital verification."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone came forward. The instrument in the girl's hand was swept away, the purple light lit up, and the first guest passed the test smoothly.
Come to think of it, you don't know how much money you have in your pocket. People have made the rules so clear. If you insist on asking for money even though you don't have enough money, you will only be humiliating yourself.
Seeing that someone was successful, everyone lined up one after another. Customers came forward to verify their capital one after another. Soon, a long line formed in front of the door.
"Can you pass the test?" Ling Xin glanced at Ai Longtan beside her.
"Okay, okay..." Ailontan nodded: "Although my strength is average, with the help of my seniors, I still have two good items in my hand."
"That's good. If it's not enough, I can lend you some." Ling Xin said.
"After all, we are members of the Ling family, so we have a strong family background!" Ailontan picked Brother Thumb.
At this moment, Luo Jun's voice came from his mind.
"Come here with me!"
Ai Longtan was stunned for a moment, and then said to Ling Xin: "Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something. Just wait for me. I'll be right back."
Ling Xin looked at him, then looked back, and nodded: "Okay, don't take too long, there may be no more places in a while."
"Don't worry, I'll be right back!"
After finishing speaking, Alontan left the crowd of onlookers and walked towards the market.
Although the treasure appraisal conference attracted many guests, most of those who came to participate in the black market were not qualified to enter, especially the stall owners of various stalls. For them, the treasure appraisal conference was far less practical than making money.
Therefore, the market is still very lively. Ailontan slipped into the crowd in a few steps and disappeared.
"Master, do you have anything to do with me?" Ailontan was a little worried.
"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows.
Ai Longtan glanced at Luo Jun: "I admit, it is indeed a bit redundant... But I am really doing it for my master. This girl Ling Xin, no matter her family background, character or talent, is first-class. I think , except for her, no one else is worthy of you, Master... Master, you are still hiding in the dark, but one day you will come to the forefront, I am afraid that the problems you face will not rely on personal force. It can be solved. If we can really get the support of Ling Xin and even the Ling family, many things will be much easier.”
Luo Jun looked at Ailontan: "Who did you learn this from?"
"Is this still necessary?" Ailontan raised his head and said, "Have you forgotten what I did before? How many of the women around me do I really like? They are all political friendships weighed by the major forces. …”
As he said this, the guy wiped his tears, as if he had been wronged by taking in those concubines in the harem.
Luo Jun snorted coldly: "That's it for now... Since you are also doing it for my own good, I won't mention it any more. I came to you because of other matters."
As he said that, Luo Jun looked at the girl who was verifying capital in front of the company building.
"That woman, knows me..."
"Eh?" Ailontan was slightly startled: "Doesn't any of my classmates have this number?"
"Not a classmate, I met her during the Chaos Mission." Luo Jun stared at the short-haired woman from a distance: "Although the tattoo on her forehead is covered, her facial features have not changed and she can be recognized at a glance."
< br>
"Her name is Qi Xingzi!"
"Who is that?" Alontan blinked, still looking confused.
"When she and I did the mission, we didn't have you." Luo Jun snorted coldly. "It was a chess game task, and she plays chess... At first, I thought she was a silly girl with no chess skills, but in the end, I felt that she was not that simple. I didn't expect that she was actually from the Yuanqiang Group."
"So, she recognizes the master's Midnight Mask?" Alontan blinked: "This is not easy to handle."
Luo Jun's Midnight Mask is his symbol. Although this mask can hide his identity, it cannot change his appearance at will. To put it simply, Luo Jun wears a mask, which blurs his appearance and prevents others from recognizing his true identity. But the appearance of the mask itself will not change. Anyone who has seen him wearing the mask can tell at a glance that he is Ye!
Of course, being recognized as Ye would not be a big problem, but Luo Jun instinctively did not want the two identities of Ye and Luo Jun to be involved, so it was best not to appear in the same city or on the same occasion.
Especially since Ling Xin is here, if Qi Xingzi recognizes him as Ye and goes out with a shout, attracting Ling Xin's attention, then the real and fake Luo Jun will be put together, and she will be in trouble if she notices something.
"So, what does the master want to do?" Alontan asked: "You have to participate, right?"
Luo Jun shook his head: "Can't we both take off our masks?"
"Eh?" Ailontan was stunned, then clapped his hands and said: "What a good idea, the master is smart!"
Both of them took off their masks, Luo Jun became himself, returned to Ling Xin, and entered the venue together. As for Alontan, no one recognizes his original appearance, and no one will suspect him if he sneaks in.
The two began to operate immediately. Luo Jun took off his cloak, and Ailontan tore off the fake mask and transformed back into the fat uncle.
As for clothes, the Puppet Mask originally has the function of changing clothes. Luo Jun disguised by Elontan originally had the same clothes as Luo Jun himself, except that Luo Jun was covered with a cloak before. "Okay, let's go back." Ailontan was about to leave when he was stopped by Luo Jun: "Wait... there's a treasure box!" As he said that, he took off the treasure box he was wearing.
"Come on, take it off too."
"Eh?" Ailontan was slightly startled: "What is this for?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Although Qi Xingzi made it clear, I always feel that the scanner is not that simple."
"To be on the safe side, let's change the treasure box."
"Can the treasure box be replaced?" Ailontan blinked: "Isn't this thing for sure?"
"You don't need to open it." Luo Jun said: "The treasure box cannot be too far away from the owner, but it is still fine at close range. I will wear yours and you will wear mine. Let's line up together. As long as we keep the distance, it will be fine. Question.”
With that said, he had already handed his watch to Alontan.
In order to better imitate Luo Jun, the treasure box set by Ailontan was also a watch, and the style was the same as Luo Jun's. The two exchanged watches, kept their distance, and walked back together among the crowd.
"Long wait." Luo Jun came to Ling Xin's side.
"Is the matter settled?" Ling Xin glanced at Luo Jun: "You seem to be very busy today."
"Didn't I just buy you a hair tie?" Luo Jun said with a smile: "I just saw something and I was a little hesitant. When I saw it, I entered the treasure appraisal conference and didn't know when it would come out. I was afraid that someone else would buy it. I gritted my teeth and bought it now.”
"What is it?" Ling Xin asked curiously: "Let me see it too?"
"Oh, it's nothing..." Luo Jun waved his hand and said, "What I'm interested in are all unfashionable gadgets. They won't catch the eyes of the Ling family."
Ling Xin was slightly startled when she heard this, and then smiled: "Yes, then I won't watch it."
While the two were talking, Ai Longtan had already lined up quietly. Seeing this, Luo Jun pulled Ling Xin and said, "Let's get in line quickly too!"
Ling Xin was suddenly held by his hand, and couldn't help but froze for a moment. She instinctively wanted to struggle, but she still controlled it and let him pull her into the queue.
For capital verification, just scan it with that little gadget. It’s very easy to operate, and you’ll soon be at Alontan’s side.
Lao Ai raised his hand, and in order to prevent Ling Xin from noticing that the style of the watch was the same as that of Luo Jun, he deliberately covered it with his broad body.
"Beep!"
With an electronic sound, the instrument lit up with purple light.
There is nothing special about this light, it was the same light that went in before. Qi Xingzi glanced at the instrument, but his pupils dilated unnaturally and his reaction was sluggish for a moment.
"Is it okay?" Alontan asked: "Girl, can I go in?"
"Oh... ok... sorry." Qi Xingzi nodded. Just as Ailontan passed by, Qi Xingzi suddenly stopped him.
"This gentleman!" Qi Xingzi said: "Can I ask, what do you call me?"
Alontan was slightly startled: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my capital verification?"
"Oh, no..." Qi Xingzi waved his hand: "It's just that we rarely see practitioners with foreign faces in Ningdong, so I'm a little curious. What you said in China is really good."
Ai Longtan smiled and said: "Everyone says so... I have lived in Cathay for a long time, but I don't come here often in Ningdong. My full name is too long for Cathay people, so just call me Lao Ai.”
"Oh... it's an honor to meet you." Qi Xingzi nodded: "Mr. Ai, please come in."
Seeing Qi Xingzi's reaction, Luo Jun smiled secretly in his heart. My guess was indeed right. That instrument was definitely not that simple!
Having just obtained the lockpick, the treasure box is no longer unbreakable in Luo Jun's eyes. To guard his treasures, he still has to rely on his own ability. The fact that this far powerful black market has been able to survive in Ningdong for so many years is definitely not that simple!
At least, they would definitely be able to pick up a treasure of the level of a lockpick, let alone explore the contents.
Even if you can't see through what's inside, the valuation of the wealth inside can't be that general!
After Ai Longtan entered, Luo Jun and Ling Xin were next.
After scanning Ling Xin's treasure box, Qi Xingzi also took a second look. However, after scanning Luo Jun's, he let the two of them in as normal without saying anything extra.
There were other staff in the hall guiding people into the conference room, but as soon as they entered, Luo Jun asked for leave from Ling Xin again.
"I have to go to the toilet." Luo Jun said, holding his stomach.
"Why do you have so many things going on today?" Ling Xin asked curiously.
"You have three urgent needs... Go wait for me in the venue first and save a seat for me." After saying that, Luo Jun asked the conductor for a seat and walked towards the toilet.
In the toilet, Luo Jun opened a cubicle, and Ailontan was already waiting inside.
"Has everything been arranged?" Luo Jun whispered.
"Don't worry, the barrier has been set up..." Ailon said frankly: "The most advanced barrier generating device is used. Even if there is a treasure phantom monitoring, no abnormalities will be detected."
Luo Jun nodded, picked up the watch and exchanged it with Elontan, then took out the remaining universal equivalent and gave it to Elontan, and then took out a lot of precious phantoms one by one and gave them to him, among which There are even a few epic and legendary treasures!
Since he was participating in the Treasure Appraisal Conference in his true form, it was inconvenient to handle these high-end treasures directly, and Alontan had to do it for him. But if you exchange it outside, the treasure box of Elontan that Luo Jun is wearing will also be swept out of the abnormality, so you can only exchange it after you come in.
Before coming this time, Luo Jun had made a plan and divided the Noble Phantasms into two categories: those that could be sold and those that must be kept, in order to facilitate transactions.
As for the number of grids, when Elontan obtained the treasure box, it was supported by 10% of Luo Jun's energy. The treasure box also had more than a hundred grids, so there was no need to worry about filling it up.
After everything was ready, Luo Jun left the cubicle first. In the gathering of more than a hundred people, many people went to the toilet, but no one noticed the people coming and going.
After Luo Jun walked out for a while, Ailontan removed the barrier and left the bathroom.
