Chapter 2: Finding High Value Items

Shen Shi still has a strong sense of mobility in his body.

Otherwise, there is no way to get into such a prestigious 985 school from a small county town.

And while I was in school, I started my own small business bit by bit entirely on my own - I opened a fairly small script-killing studio.

In the past few years, script sales have been on the rise, and there are especially many script sales centers opening around university towns. And Shen Shi's family, relying on the interpersonal relationships he has concentrated on running in the school and exquisite decoration, is able to devote himself to it.

The publicity cost is quite good in this area, and the business has been good.

Originally, Shen Shi was planning to truly run this store as his career after graduation.

But now, this plan has obviously been broken.

He put away the projection ball at this moment, forced himself to stay calm, then sat at the desk and picked up a blank A4 paper.

"Known1:"

Shen Shiti wrote.

"The mark I named the Time Rhombus, or simply the Time Rhombus, has the power to connect the present and the future three thousand and three years in the future."

"Known 2: It seems that in order to save energy, the objects in this world are transferred to the future, and they will experience the passage of three thousand years in an unknown space. The evidence is that the jade pendant traded last time was detected as an antique."

Shen Shi had previously conducted a transaction with a future person who claimed to be an "antique collector" through the "Black Market Trading Terminal".

He used the Guanyin jade pendant he bought for more than a thousand yuan to exchange for the projection that recorded this part of history. As for the reason for the exchange... he could only afford to exchange it for this.

"Known 3: Jade will be worthless in the future."

Shen Shi wrote down these three known facts.

This is a habit he developed when he was thinking.

In the process of writing slowly, inspiration often bursts out.

At this moment, I looked at the three known things listed above, hesitated for a while, and continued to write:

"Speculation 1: All materials and substances in this world will not have much value in the future."

This is based on the collector's reaction when facing the jade pendant and normal logic. If it weren't for the statue of Guanyin on it, even if the other party could be sure that the jade pendant came from three thousand years ago, there would be no transaction at all.

In the universe, the most indispensable thing is all kinds of materials, even if they come from three thousand years ago.

"Speculation 2." Shen Shi continued to write, "Antiques will have a certain value in the future."

This is also easy to speculate. If there is no value, how can there be an antique collection?

After writing this, Shen Shi stopped.

In the future black market, there will be more than just antique collector shops. The problem is that with the conditions Shen Shi has in his hands, antiques are undoubtedly the easiest to achieve. This is the advantage brought by Shi Ling and must be taken advantage of.

So, the problem now is obvious.

If the jade pendant has no value, then you must find a valuable "antique".

Thought for a while.

Shen Shi continued to write: "Argument: The value of modern antiques comes from three places: rarity, historical value, and artistic value."

It goes without saying that things are rare and valuable. This should be the same in the future. Therefore, there is basically no need to think about the rarity of the material itself. What is available now will definitely be available in the future. Even precious metals such as gold will not be available in the future.

It is worthless.

Therefore, Shen Shi circled the words "history" and "art" heavily.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally drew another circle in history.

The collector he saw... looked a bit indescribable, so it's hard to say how modern people's artistic aesthetics will look in the eyes of future people.

Then, all that remains is history.

Shen Shi stared at these two words closely, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

Each antique is a witness to the politics, economy, and culture of a specific period in history. It is a carrier of comprehensive historical information. At the same time, it is a non-renewable item that cannot be re-created, reflecting the vicissitudes and rare characteristics of the burden of history.

——This may be the greatest value of antiques in the future!

"As long as human civilization can continue, exploring the history of our own civilization should become a pursuit of people in the future." Shen Shi muttered to himself, and finally stood up suddenly, ran to his room, and took out a bunch of

paper.

These are all backups of some scripts in his store.

After thinking about it, he took out a USB flash drive and copied some things from his computer.

If his prediction is correct, these things might be more valuable than his jade pendant!

So now, it’s time to try trading.

The bright stars appeared on the back of Shen Shi's hand again, and the next moment, a cold feeling came to his mind.

Handwriting appeared before my eyes.

"Whether to log in to the trading market."

"Yes!" Shen Shi has already experienced it once, so he is very skilled.

"Please select the items you need to bring."

As the next choice appears, everything in the room in front of you is covered with light blue marks.

I directly selected the stack of scripts and killed the backup, as well as the USB flash drive.

"Dear member, welcome to log in."

With this last line of words, Shen Yi's thoughts seemed to be divided into two parts. One part was still sitting on the chair, while the other part came to another place.

It was an "antique" street.

Yes, antique.

Looking around, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue, and the line of sight is wide open. On both sides are buildings of various styles, some with the "traditional style" of oriental beauty, whether it is wooden eaves, windows with carved patterns, or golden colored glaze.

The roofs are all showing "oriental characteristics".

Although Xiaojiabieyuan and Royal Glaze are mixed together, it is full of nondescript.

Moreover, those buildings showing "Western characteristics" are even more exaggerated.

It is obviously an ancient Greek temple style, but the architectural colors and building materials used are similar to the ancient Egyptian grotto tombs?

A Cantonese-style signboard hanging on the doorpost similar to the statue of David?

The main body of the Gothic Revival building is paired with the large dome of Classical Architecture?

This is completely a mixture of different periods, different regions, and different materials!

However, compared to the weird feeling he had about everything when he first came here, this time, Shen Shi saw some exciting information from these various buildings.

That is the pursuit of history and culture! And the lack of history and culture!

Yes, these buildings do look nondescript and full of future people's fantasies about ancient buildings. However, in this virtual trading market, buildings of this style are everywhere. It is obviously a kind of popularity, and like this

Doesn’t it reflect the future people’s pursuit of history in its popularity?

Shen Shi became more and more confident about the transaction he was going to make.
