After hearing the shop owner's strong recommendation, Fiona, who had already purchased the required ore, suddenly became curious.
She had just seen the weird things placed on those shelves, but because she had only been thinking about buying ore before, she didn't pay too much attention to them.
But after buying the ore now, her curiosity suddenly took over.
"...You don't have to ask for my opinion on everything, Fei, just like you did when you went shopping with Annie."
Noticing that his sister was looking at her with a shining look that was very similar to the kitten she was holding, Anvis gave her a gentle smile and nodded lightly.
"And, I just happen to plan to take a look."
"Yeah! I know!"
Hearing this, the girl nodded happily.
"We want to see it, grandpa, the shopkeeper."
"Okay, then, please follow me, two distinguished guests!"
After getting the consent, the old shop owner took the two of them back to the ground area of the shop.
After the same operation as before, the shelves returned to their original positions. At the same time, a small door opened on the wall on one side.
"The newly arrived goods are inside. This batch of relic items has just arrived in my hands and has not been selected by anyone yet. If you two don't like it, you can also take a look at other items in the store!"
The old shopkeeper explained very diligently that a deal of 20,000 gold coins was concluded, which caused him to add honorific titles to both of them.
Hearing this, the two of them walked into the door.
Inside the small door is a room similar to a warehouse, with a large number of relic items spread out on several rows of large shelves.
Relic items refer to those items that were excavated from ancient ruins. Their original purpose was obscure and their true properties need to be identified by relic scholars or mystics.
They may indeed be worth a fortune, but most of the time, these items are not even worth the appraisal fee.
After millions of years of time eroding, more than ninety-nine percent of the objects, except for those objects purely used to record knowledge, have lost their original functions.
Of course, in contrast, items that can be preserved intact to this day are truly valuable treasures that are not afraid of time.
Part of the curriculum of the mysterious academy where Avis is located is responsible for researching and identifying these things.
Fiona has been excitedly selecting from a large number of unknown relics. Regardless of her identity and background, this kind of mystery and excitement of treasure hunting always makes people's hearts beat faster.
Avis was also examining those items carefully to see if there were any good things hidden there.
An ancient stone plate with light green marks, a dark gold metal Rubik's Cube composed of many fine parts, a pair of simple black-framed glasses, a crystal skull that is completely clear but missing its lower jaw...
Picking up the pair of glasses, Anvis checked the quality, put them on again, tried them on, and then put them down again.
His gaze was much more professional than Fiona's, but he didn't have much hope.
Although the shop owner said they were the first ones to pick them, it was just a joke.
These items have been inspected since they were excavated, and the parts that are most likely to be good items have been picked out.
Then, even if the old shop owner collected it directly from the place of production, he would check it a second time. After these two screenings, the chance that the remaining goods for individual customers would be of good quality is very slim.
However, after walking around a shelf, Anvis suddenly noticed that in the corner of the bottom shelf, an inconspicuous gray coin suddenly flashed with a faint blue light.
Wei Wei was curious, so he picked it up and took a look.
However, when I got it in my hand, the coin didn't change at all, as if it was just an ordinary coin.
With a guess in his mind, Anvis found a trace of spiritual power on his fingertips. Anvis wanted to test its material.
However, as soon as the mental power was revealed, it felt resistance and could not penetrate the gray surface of the coin.
Sure enough, it is this thing.
Anvis is very familiar with similar things, special props used by unscrupulous shopkeepers to trick newbies who want to pick up missing items.
They are usually small items such as mysterious fragments, coins, broken blades, etc. The surface is coated with a layer of alloy that can block mental power, or it is simply made entirely of alloy that can block mental power to deliberately create a sense of mystery.
There is a layer of magically treated fluorescent butterfly phosphorus powder attached to the surface, which automatically activates when it senses someone approaching. It lights up and then completely decomposes without leaving any traces.
And there are many colors to choose from, and you can create rainbow lights.
Since the players appeared, the business of these profiteers has improved many times.
There are always many players picking up holes with the attitude that they are the children of destiny, and then the boss tricks a few new fat sheep.
The player got the "adventure" and was secretly happy. The shopkeeper slaughtered another fat sheep and was also secretly happy.
Everyone is happy, everyone wins.Jpg
Holding the coin, Anvis glanced at the shopkeeper, who was looking this way.
When Anvis looked over, he showed a kind smile and saw no problem.
"Brother, I found this, it seemed to light up just now!"
At this time, Fiona's voice came from beside her.
Anvis turned around and saw a dark blue rock fragment in the girl's hand, with some simple carvings on it and a small white star gem embedded in it. It was impossible to tell what its original complete form was.
Another new prop?
Throwing the coin back to its place, Anvis took the fragment and took a look, but didn't see anything special. The mental power could penetrate it, but the feedback returned was just an ordinary rock with no trace of magic power.
"I don't see anything special about it, Fee."
After shaking his head, Anvis returned the fragment to the girl. She seemed very interested in it.
After a while, the two of them finished their selection.
Anvis finally chose two ruin crystals. These are common currencies among some special alien races and ancient ruins, and they still have some value.
Fiona had several more similar fragments in her hand, which seemed to be fragments of the same item.
Moreover, Kate, who was held in Fiona's arms, seemed to have gained something as well, holding a lavender rock tightly between her paws.
"Does the kitten also like my products?"
Seeing this, the old shopkeeper smiled and explained to the two of them.
"The mercenary group that sold me this batch of relic items said that this stone was found in a relic area similar to a laboratory. It is said that it fell from Purple Moon Amys!"
"Well, dear old gentleman, now that it has fallen to the ground, its price shouldn't be as high as it was in the sky, right?"
Anvis shrugged his shoulders and said a skillful squeeze to stop the shopkeeper's excuse for asking for a high price in advance.
"Uh... of course not."
After choking for a moment, Old Jimmy suddenly realized that the customer he was facing was unexpectedly difficult to deal with.
