Similar things are happening everywhere underground in the City of Light.
The target was to hunt ghost-faced spiders, but they were attacked by crawlers; those who wanted to deal with red-eyed rats were met with human-skeletal centipedes... Some teams relied on their good adaptability and the activity of a few strong people, but they were able to
contend, but more often than not, they are still in a hurry and suffer heavy losses...
It can be said that the reincarnation's first exploration into the sewer was still a small failure...
Why do you say it is small?
Because most people who are truly experienced, powerful, and knowledgeable did not follow the heroic arrangements and rashly entered the sewers. They chose to move on the ground first to figure out the rules of this world!
Since there are nine levels of dungeons, the sewers on the first level must be the easiest. The three-day mission should be more than enough. As the saying goes, you must first get familiar with the world and gather information.
This is what a mature reincarnation should do!
Chengdong District is the main commercial district of Glorious City.
Compared with the nobles in the southern district, this place is more like the home of businessmen. There are many shops, taverns, casinos, theaters, and various shops and places. Whether you are rich or poor, you can find a little entertainment here.
The Chamber of Commerce holds the right to speak here, and relying on the prosperous City of Light, this place attracts travelers and goods from all over the continent. It is the largest and most lively area in the city, and it is also the area with the largest flow of people and the most mixed people!
Gold is a well-known jewelry merchant in the east area of the city. Although the store under his name is not big, he can always get good products thanks to his connections in the circle and his unique appraisal skills!
Today, a special customer came to his shop.
This is an aristocratic lady with a servant. She looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She has a slim figure and a good face. She has long black hair hanging down to her waist. She is wearing an aqua blue dress with light gold patterns.
He is holding a printed parasol, wearing white gauze gloves, and wearing a pair of brown unicorn calfskin shoes. The servants around him are very common. They are dressed like servants from a wealthy family, and they are carrying a suitcase in their hands. I don’t know what to pack.
What is.
This outfit does not look as complicated and luxurious as the aristocratic attire in the popular impression, but Gold, who has a superb eye, saw it brightly...
This outfit looks simple and elegant, but in the eyes of experts, even a small accessory is a top-quality product with exquisite workmanship!
Especially this long dress, with unique textures, fine materials, and exquisite workmanship... But it looked familiar. He remembered that there was a famous rich man in the city, a tobacco merchant living in Nancheng District, nicknamed Red Beard Gildeman.
, his daughter has one...
It's so similar that it's hard for Gold to tell the difference... But that's probably not the case... The clothes of the rich are all custom-made, so how can they be the same style as others?
Putting all these things behind, Gold looked at the girl who was carefully choosing jewelry, rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "Dear lady, do you need anything? You can tell me your request, I am Guangyao.
The most discerning jewelry merchant in the capital!"
"Are you asking?" The beautiful girl smiled slightly: "I only have one request!"
"expensive!"
"Ah?" Gold rubbed his ears curiously: "Sorry, maybe I didn't hear clearly!"
"I want the most precious treasure!"
The girl blinked: "That's it, my friends and I made a bet... Whoever can find the most valuable treasure from the entire City of Light in one day and buy it will win!"
The rule is this, the value of this treasure is divided by its own weight, and the final unit price is the value for comparison!"
"So, things like real estate, thoroughbred horses, and land cannot be counted. I have to find something that is precious and small!"
"Is that so?" Gold blinked: "This is really a unique bet! In this case, distinguished lady, jewelry is definitely your wisest choice! Please sit down and wait a moment, I will tell you
You recommend our store’s treasure!”
As he spoke, Gold called for a waiter to serve tea to the distinguished guests. He went to the back and came out after a long time, holding an exquisite jewelry box in his hand.
"This is my treasure!" Gold said proudly: "Take a look!"
As the box opened, a purple reflection shone on the girl's face, but the girl's expression did not change significantly.
"What is this?" the girl asked.
"This is the Purple Stone, known as the King of Gemstones. It is a specialty of the Southern Continent. Usually, an eight-cent stone would be sold for hundreds of gold coins. This one weighs a hundred and two cents!"
Although it was a bit strange why such an aristocratic girl did not recognize the purple stone, Gold still dutifully explained: "At the auction in Southern Pinewood Port, there was a ninety-seven-point stone that was sold.
The high price is 40,000 gold coins, but this one is bigger and of better quality..."
The girl smiled and nodded, snapping her fingers at the servant beside her. The servant put the suitcase on the table, opened it, and revealed a pile of banknotes!
They are all the largest denomination of ten gold coins!
"Here is 50,000!" The girl smiled and said, "Is that enough?"
"This..." Gold's eyes widened. He thought that a girl who didn't know the purple stone would not buy it easily. Even if he liked it, he would go back and find a way to raise money, which would inevitably lead to a lot of trouble.
Bargaining... He was still judging in his mind what price to give...
After all, the auction price usually has a premium. In his mind, the price of this gemstone is less than 50,000!
But seeing the girl so happily take out 50,000 in cash, Gold was surprised by her financial resources. While curious about her background, he was also thinking in his mind, should he try to charge a higher price and make more money?
But what the girl said next gave him away.
"Because we have a competition, we won't look at the purchase price. We will go to a professional appraiser for valuation. I understand your desire to make money, but if it is fake or the difference is too big..." The girl smiled slightly: "These five
Wan, what you bought is not a gem!"
"It's my shop...my life...my life!" Gold immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Although he claimed to be somewhat powerful, he faced a task where he could easily bet fifty thousand gold coins.
The level difference is too big!!
"Don't you dare..." Gold took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead: "It's a very fair price, you can take it..."
After inspecting the money and belongings under Gold's anxious gaze, the girl left the jewelry store with the gems, while the servant behind her was still carrying the box.
The two of them didn't go far, turned around and entered a magnificent pawn shop.
This is the largest pawn shop in the City of Light. The lobby is very spacious and is divided into different windows according to the value and category of the pawned items. Most of them have customers, and there are also many people waiting in the rest area.
Under the guidance of the staff, the girl took the number at the jewelry window and found that there was no one queuing in front, so she walked directly over and handed over the gems she had just bought for 50,000 yuan!
At first, the young appraiser didn't pay much attention, but the moment he opened the jewelry box, the lifeless eyes behind the monocle immediately widened!
"This...is this purple stone?" The appraiser seemed to swallow his saliva.
"You should know better than me!" The girl still kept smiling.
"How much do you want to be?"
"How much do you want to give me?"
"Put away the treasure first!" The appraiser packed the gem and handed it back to the girl: "Wait a moment, I will discuss it with the back..."
With that said, the appraiser put a sign saying no, and left the counter. The girl didn't care. After a while, three people came from behind. In addition to the young appraiser before, there was also an older one who looked like
More experienced. At the same time, there is a guy who is not like an appraiser, but more like a boss.
The three of them looked at what they just had, and finally the boss asked: "Do you want cash today?"
"Of course!" The corner of the girl's mouth raised slightly, and the bodyguard on the side opened the empty suitcase: "Immediately, immediately, the sooner the better!"
