Looking at this unpretentious signboard, Liu Xing might not have entered this place if there were no other lock-related shops around.
But before Liu Xing walked into the lock shop, a man hurried out and was about to pull down the store's rolling shutter door.
"Uh, boss, are you ready to close the door and take a break so early?" Liu Xing stopped and asked.
The man who was about to close the door nodded and replied apologetically: "Sorry, one of my nephews just disappeared suddenly, so I have to rush over to help now. If you are not in a hurry, come next time. If you are,
If so, go buy locks elsewhere."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the owner of the lock shop was actually the uncle of the missing person.
But having said that, Liu Xing still remembered that Taichi Hiramoto once told him that the villagers in Kujing Village hardly knew how to communicate with the outside world, let alone intermarriage.
So Liu Xing expressed his doubts.
"That's right, the guy from Kujing Village doesn't like to communicate with the outside world very much, but there have been a few intermarriages. After all, the younger generation in Kujing Village don't go out to work, so if they want to get married, they can't.
If the matter is resolved within the village, then the only option is to marry in other villages, so my sister married in Kujing Village."
The middle-aged man sighed and said with some regret: "My sister died of illness many years ago. At that time, I should have brought my two nephews back, but I don't know what kind of ecstasy their father instilled in them.
Yao, they actually refused to come back...if they had come back then, they wouldn't be missing now."
The middle-aged man pulled down the rolling shutter door and continued: "Okay, I have to go to Kujing Village now. If there is a chance, let's talk back."
After saying this, the middle-aged man turned around and left.
This time Liu Xing did not choose to follow, but planned to take a closer look at the Artisan Village, because such a large village should not only have such a key piece of information as "lock".
Not long after walking, Liu Xingliu saw a very interesting store - a second-hand safe.
Are there any second-hand safes?
Liu Xing walked into this store out of curiosity and discovered that this store was not so much selling second-hand safes as it was selling blind boxes.
That's right, these second-hand safes are blind boxes.
In short, most of the second-hand safes in the store do not have keys. As for the safes that do not require a key and can only be opened with a password, the boss cannot provide the correct password, so these second-hand safes are basically
In a state that cannot be used normally, these second-hand safes can only be opened by a capable locksmith.
Of course, this is only possible, because the owner of this store once approached the middle-aged man just now, but the middle-aged man said he was helpless because some safes have weird lock cylinders, and some safes require a password and a key.
to open it.
But sometimes, changing your thinking can yield unexpected gains.
Few people would do the thing of buying a casket and returning a pearl, but what about buying a pearl and returning a casket?
That's right, what this store sells is not second-hand safes, but the contents of second-hand safes.
Under normal circumstances, there should be nothing in second-hand safes, but as long as you are willing to look hard, you can still find some unusual second-hand safes.
Therefore, the owner of this store often goes back to Nagoya and surrounding cities to find out if any nearby companies have run away due to poor management, or if a big boss has to "disappear" for a period of time due to some special reasons. In short, he just wants to find some
Safes that become "second-hand" due to unexpected reasons, and there are often some things in these safes.
Then, the owner of this store brings these second-hand safes back, and the buyer can choose one that looks more pleasing to the eye to open. Of course, opening here requires the use of abnormal means such as a chainsaw, and then the buyer can only
The items in the safe will be taken away, and the completely damaged safe will be sold by the boss as scrap metal, so that the boss can earn two cents.
Most of the time, the boss is guaranteed to make a profit, because many safes only contain some documents and account books that are no longer useful, or some scattered banknotes. In short, the value of these things combined is not as good as the selling price given by the boss.
But there are still very few exceptions. For example, when the boss introduced this to Liu Xing, he mentioned that someone bought a second-hand safe a year ago. This safe was originally placed in the manager's office of a certain company. As a result, the boss of this company
I chose to jump off the building because I lost all my money at the casino, and I was still short of a large sum of money. As a result, the company was directly closed down.
Originally, the creditor was planning to cut open the safe to see what was inside, but he chose to give up at the last moment because the normal use rights of the safe belonged to the manager of that company, so most likely it was just some illegal information.
It was an important document for that company, not to mention that the manager didn't even come forward to ask for the contents of the safe at this time.
As a result, the safe was brought to this "thrift store". As a result, a person who often came to this store to try his luck had just enough money to buy the safe, so he decided to gamble on this seemingly impossible thing.
"Ship" the safe...and he became a multi-millionaire, of course the millions here refers to the currency of the island country.
It turns out that the manager of that company is usually not clean and often accepts some kickbacks. However, for the sake of safety, he always collects antiques or jewelry, and stores them directly in this safe, so that when he is discovered, he will still be safe.
You can defend yourself by saying "I accepted these things for the company."
Of course, if the manager was not discovered when he resigned, then he would have taken these things with him.
"Because the company was seized so suddenly, the manager didn't have time to take away the contents of the safe, and later he didn't dare to come forward and admit that these items were his personal belongings."
The boss looked at Liu Xing with a smile and said, "In the end, these things were all cheaper for my regular customer. Of course, things like this happened several times; how is my brother? Are you tempted now? If so, Liu Xing
Why not buy a safe or two and see your luck? Maybe you can make a fortune."
Liu Xing looked at a room filled with dozens of safes, large and small, and felt that he had seen this scene before. Yes, it was in those videos about stone gambling.
After thinking about it carefully, Liu Xing felt that this second-hand safe was really like a gambling stone. He didn't know whether the contents inside could bring him more wealth before cutting it open. Moreover, this safe was also like the original jade stone.
Because of the difference in the place of manufacture and appearance, their prices are also very different.
For example, if inflation is taken into account, the most expensive safe in the boss's mouth is roughly equivalent to one hundred thousand dollars in the future, because this safe was originally placed in an underground casino. As a result, the underground casino was taken away due to leaks, but there are several
A young man stole the safe before escaping, but failed to open the safe because they could not agree on the distribution. In the end, they were captured and killed by the boss behind the underground casino.
However, these boys had already hidden the safe before they were caught, so the last boy who was caught sold the safe to the boss, hoping that the boss would give the money to his family.
Although the boss told this story vividly, Liu Xing always felt that this bad old man was very bad. He was just making up stories to increase the value of the safe, or he was specifically trying to make this safe the treasure of his store.
In most cases, the treasure of a store is more or less exaggerated, and the selling price may be several times higher than the actual value, because the treasure of a store is never for sale.
, but is used to improve the online presence of this store.
Without considering other conditions, if the former is priced at 10 million and the latter is priced at 100 million, then most people will think that the latter is more expensive than the former.
Besides, isn't that person a fool who spends $100,000 to buy a safe with no idea what the hell is inside?
What's more, this safe weighs hundreds of kilograms, so it's impossible to judge what's inside by shaking it to make the contents make noise.
But Liu Xing is still planning to buy a safe.
The reason is very simple. Liu Xing plans to store the information he obtained in this safe, and then leave clues for players who exist at a later point in time to find the safe, so as to complete the transmission of information. This method of transmitting information is also Liu Xing's.
The best thing Star can do at the moment.
But there is one thing to say, Liu Xing actually wants to try his luck. If he really gets an unexpected fortune from a certain safe, then he will have some confidence in this world, and at least he can go back to Nagoya to eat well.
Have a good drink and stay in a presidential suite or something.
As a result, when Liu Xing contacted kp Broken Bridge to prepare for a lucky judgment, kp Broken Bridge smiled and said: "Congratulations to player Liu Xing for discovering the most special existence in the world - the Lucky Store. There may be something in the safe in this store."
Some props or clues that are very important to pass the level, some of which can even be taken out of the world; but in this shop, players will not be able to use any judgment on these safes, so this time it is really going to test the player's luck.
.”
Hearing kp Duanqiao say this, Liu Xing couldn't help but feel happy, but after thinking carefully for a moment, he felt that now was not the time to be happy, because without luck judgment or inspiration judgment, he could only judge from these few days.
Choose any one of the ten safes.
Although Liu Xing has never been very good at mathematics, Liu Xing knows very well that if he can make normal judgments, his probability of "winning" will be much higher, and there is still a one-twentieth chance of winning the super jackpot, but
Now if you purely rely on your own luck, then you will only have a few tenth chance of picking the best safe. Of course, this is the same probability as picking a safe with other rewards or no rewards.
This is really bad news.
And what is more realistic is that the prices of these safes are different, so if the judgment can be made, Liu Xing can make a guaranteed profit as long as he passes the judgment. In this way, Liu Xing can buy some prices with confidence.
A tall safe.
But now, Liu Xing feels a little guilty when looking at those relatively high-priced safes, because the risk of buying these safes is too high, and it is better to buy multiple low-priced safes than to buy one high-priced safe. After all, those are useful to players.
Props or information are not equated with price.
But having said that, just when Liu Xing was about to buy a safe, he suddenly realized a somewhat embarrassing problem, that is, he seemed to have no money and nothing of value, or in ordinary people's eyes.
In my eyes, things that can be discounted... and things that ordinary people can buy, such as mobile phones.
Liu Xing felt that if he mortgaged his mobile phone to the boss in front of him, then the boss would definitely agree happily, because smartphones are a black technology in this era, but there is a saying that it is easy to ask gods but difficult to give away, so the mobile phone fell into the hands of this boss
If it is inside, it will be difficult to get it back. After all, if such a mobile phone is sold to a large company such as Sony, it will be a huge sum of money, enough to make the boss give up the store directly.
However, Liu Xing can be sure that even if the boss knew that this mobile phone was extremely valuable, he would not be able to sell all the safes to himself, because the mobile phone could not be discounted immediately, so he would definitely choose to lower the price so that he could use the mobile phone by then.
Replacing three or five safes is already pretty good.
However, judging from the current situation, Liu Xing feels that this business can still be done. Anyway, after the world is reset, this phone will be back in his hands.
"Hehe, I know Liu Xing that you plan to use the modern items on your body to mortgage the boss, so that if you come a few times, you can determine what is in most safes? But I can tell you clearly that in this world
When resetting, if your original belongings are not with you, then this item will not be reset; as for some important props in this world, if they are carried by you, they will also appear after resetting.
in his pocket."
Hearing what kp Duanqiao said, Liu Xing couldn't help but sigh, and could only silently glance at the situation outside the shop - it was very good, there were no passers-by.
