Chapter 994 Curiosities from Another Continent

However, the situation on the Parthian side has not had any impact on the Central Plains. On the Central Plains side, Chen Xi and others are still carrying out various messy things in an orderly manner. Overall, they can be regarded as working hard.

They were not interested in a deadly fight between Parthia and Rome. Anyway, they had not yet reached Ctesiphon, and both families still had a lot of spare strength. The spring or even the autumn of the next year would be the time when the real war broke out.

Before that, everyone can just keep developing. Anyway, the intelligence is continuously reaching the hands of Yue Fei, Ju Shu and others on the front line. Those of them in Luoyang can just wait for the battle report.

"It's been a long time since I've been out here. It's really unexpectedly busy."

Liu Ying looked at the current Luoyang in horror. The current Luoyang is divided into three parts, the palace in the center, and Luoyang in the next circle, which is the former Luoyang City.

The areas beyond are called Wailuoyang, and the distance between each station is also called a ring.

There was no way, it was developing too fast, and building a city wall would easily cause stagnation of business, so Luoyang chose a more direct method - not to build a city wall.

Anyway, Luoyang was the center of the Han Dynasty. If they were really beaten to a place like this, the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty would simply wipe their necks and hang themselves.

They simply chose the simplest way, directly abandoned the outermost city wall, and directly planned the construction area, so that Luoyang's complementary industries continued to improve.

Anyway, the improvement of industry is conducive to the prosperity of Luoyang, so we might as well directly follow the development direction of modern cities and create a ring-layer system to expand the area of ​​Luoyang.

So much so that the current area of ​​Luoyang is outrageous. There is even a saying that you can reach Luoyang just after leaving Chang'an city gate. As for the number of rings in Luoyang, I don't know.

Liu Ying, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, unexpectedly left Inner Luoyang this time and came to Outer Luoyang to investigate the public sentiment.

Thanks to Diao Chan's company, Lu Bu also acted as a bodyguard.

But Liu Ying's real bodyguard is actually a dumpling that has been lying on Liu Ying's head like a hat.

Lu Bu's evaluation of Tuanzi is that it can make him feel threatened. It may not be possible to charge into battle, but it is definitely much better than Red Rabbit or something like that.

This is also the reason why Liu Ying hardly brings any bodyguards. She has a royal aura in her body, and with the dumplings in her hands, it would be just asking for trouble if she wanted to attack Liu Ying in Luoyang.

Just like when Zhang Jiao was unable to fly into Luoyang to assassinate Liu Hong, after the cloud energy formation rose in Luoyang, if you have inner energy and don't have inner energy, you will be easily defeated.

"I heard that there is a top-notch treasure auction here today?" Liu Ying said excitedly, while looking at the surrounding environment, which was very prosperous to the naked eye.

Every time at this time, she felt a little dazed. The changes in just a few years were simply earth-shaking.

"Definitely not as good as His Highness's treasures." Diao Chan smiled and said, Liu Ying is the second richest man in the world, and there is a special palace in the palace to display treasures from various places.

"No, I don't believe it. I read in the script that it says that because they are afraid that the top products will fluctuate every year, the tributes are not the best level every year, but the level that can control the output among the top level."

Liu Ying looked at Diao Chan with a shrewd look and said.

She is not stupid. Although many things are good, it seems that there is still room for improvement.

She has a serious sense of aesthetics influenced by the sea of ​​treasures. She can basically get a rough idea of ​​whether something is good or not by just taking a glance at it.

The corner of Diao Chan's mouth twitched. There was no need to refute these words. This is the truth, because things given to the emperor are given every year. Your level this year is good, but your level next year will not be as good as this year. This is really difficult to explain, so the quality cannot be achieved.

There will be no tribute for quality control stuff.

To put it simply, everything that is a tribute is 100%, and because of the explosion of technology at certain times, or the producer's inspiration, or because of the miraculous craftsmanship of nature, in short, it can only be used once and cannot be repeated, and it directly breaks through 100%.

At a certain level, people generally don’t dare to pay tribute.

So at this time, the local bosses used it for themselves, or gave it away to others to gain new connections and connections.

"Look, I knew it would be like this, so I must buy something truly amazing today!" Liu Ying said with great interest.

To be honest, if Cai Wenji hadn't seen a super treasure on her body, she wouldn't even have realized this problem.

But now that she realizes it, her shopping addiction has developed. Anyway, she has plenty of money, so buying some treasures doesn't bother her at all.

But having said that, even if most of her treasures are not top-notch treasures, they are still rare to see, and more importantly, there are enough of them.

Diao Chan shook her head helplessly. For her, the quality of the things was enough.

She is the general manager of the house, she has seen countless good things, and she has no idea about the quality of things.

Following the guide's lead, they came to a large shop.

As soon as Liu Ying and Diao Chan entered, the shopkeeper who was originally sitting drinking tea removed the waiter and came to greet them personally. People who open big stores these days have a good mentality. In fact, they have always been good.

When I saw Liu Ying and Diao Chan, I knew that these two were wives from wealthy families.

Although the leader did not bring too many accessories and did not ride in the car, the shopkeeper knew what was going on with that set of clothes. The same was generally true for Diao Chan. Although the few accessories on her body could not be seen as a whole, they could be seen clearly.

You can tell a lot about the workmanship.

By the way, the jewelry on Diao Chan is unique to a certain extent, as it was made by Lu Bu himself.

Any skillful craftsman is completely insignificant in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu's control ability can be said to be the best in the world. With his powerful spiritual will, Lu Bu can make any jade or gold ornaments by himself when he sees them.

"Please, please. In addition to today's auction, we have exotic treasures from other continents here." The shopkeeper quickly made an invitation gesture, and then sent the waiter to start serving tea.

"Oh? Other continents!" Liu Ying's eyes lit up. She didn't have many treasures from other continents in her little vault, and every one of them was actually quite useful.

"Hahaha, look, this is the best product we brought back from the continent called America!" The shopkeeper proudly took out a lot of strange things.

This thing requires strength.

Although there are several transit stations in Japan and Australia, the endless sea beasts in the sea are not easy to deal with. They have also set up special lines to trade with each other.

These days, the eldest brother, not the second brother, is strong for a reason. As for how to become stronger, that is a matter of personal ability. After the family opened their eyes to the world, they only focused on running away.

This random operation at least seems to be somewhat capable.

So Chen Xi has no intention of pursuing this kind of smuggling. After all, it is all based on ability, and there is nothing to say. Chen Xi doesn't care what you do abroad, as long as you abide by the law at home, my hands are not that long.

, I’m not that big-hearted, it’s up to you.

I encourage you to go out. I don’t care about killing people and preventing fires. But if you mess around in the country, I won’t be polite.

"What's the name of this thing?" Liu Ying was about to pick up a crystal ball, but Lu Bu blocked Liu Ying's face with his hand.

"Huh?" Liu Ying and Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu strangely.

"This thing is alive! There should be a soul inside!" Lu Bu said simply. It wasn't dangerous, but he still didn't want to touch the thing with his hands.

"My lord, you have good eyesight!" the shopkeeper gave a thumbs up, "This is a heritage gem from an orc tribe. As long as you drop blood on it, you can obtain the heritage martial arts inside!"

Liu Ying suddenly lost interest. She inherited martial arts skills. It was better to learn a few moves from Lu Bu. She turned around and looked at other things.

It has to be said that the shopkeeper has a lot of novelties, most of which she doesn't know what they are, and they are all full of exotic customs.

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and put his hand on it. The crystal ball immediately cracked, but it healed in the blink of an eye.

"I want this!" Lu Bu nodded, and then said to the shopkeeper.

The inheritance inside is of no use, but the structure of this thing is quite interesting. It is a good thing to use to record your martial arts as inheritance.

Although he can directly achieve the same effect, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The effect through gemstones is weaker, but also more gentle.

This was a gift he prepared for his grandson. Although he was very unhappy with Zhao Yun, after all, he already had children, so he had to get married.

At the wedding banquet, Lu Bu behaved normally, but Zhao Yun faced Lu Bu's death gaze throughout the whole process.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun was not worried to death. He was afraid that Lu Bu would have a sudden attack and kill someone. However, it was obvious that Lu Bu did not do that. The purpose was just to teach him a profound lesson.

It has to be said that Zhao Yun would rather fight Lu Bu to the death than experience that kind of torture again.

"what is this?"

"Olympic Crystal!"

"what about this?"

"Magic Scroll!"

The shopkeeper and Liu Ying sang together, and Liu Ying enjoyed it quite a lot. Many of the things were novel and unusual that she had never seen before. Although she could find some substitutes more or less according to the shopkeeper's introduction, they were still very novel.

It's like a magic scroll, very similar to a talisman, but there is a big difference between the two. But just this difference makes it worth collecting for Liu Ying.

"What about this one?" Liu Ying asked, pointing to a leaf.

"The leaves of the world tree contain a lot of vitality. It will not be a problem to put them at home to prolong life! It is very helpful to children's development!" the shopkeeper introduced with a smile.

"This thing is expensive." Liu Ying thought it was a good thing. "Do you have any potted plants? Can you bring me one?"

"Are you kidding me, where did such a precious thing come from a potted plant? The elves from that continent are very picky. This leaf is worth five million!" the shopkeeper said haha.

They smashed countless things before getting more than a dozen leaves from the elves. All of them were ordered by various worlds, leaving only two or three leaves in the shop.

"Wrap it up, and we'll settle the bill together later!" Liu Ying had no idea about five million, so she said casually, it's just five million, so let's sprinkle it on.

"Fengxian, should we..." Diao Chan whispered to Lu Bu. When she heard that it would be good for the child, she couldn't sit still.

"No need. I'll go there another day and bring back a World Tree!" Lu Bu shook his head. Five million leaves per leaf is too expensive.

Besides, the vitality of a leaf is pitifully weak. Only wearing it for a long time can improve it a little.

In contrast, it would be better for him to just get one and plant it at home.

"Yes! That's fine!" Diao Chan thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. A leaf was indeed of little use, so it would be better to let Lu Bu get a world tree.

The two people have never considered the concept of the other party not giving it to them. If they don't give it, they just rob it for the healthy growth of their children.

"What is this?" Liu Ying suddenly frowned and asked, pointing to an egg.

"This is a dragon egg!"

"Dragon?" Liu Ying looked at the shopkeeper opposite with some confusion. There were many things that Yuan Feng offered auspicious signs to her. Just like the dumpling on her head that now serves as a hat, it was the legendary iron-eating beast.
