Chapter 9 Magic Crystal

It was only 03:30 after leaving the police station. Ryan did not plan to be a homebody when he first arrived, but planned to wander around, looking for all possible opportunities and fate.

If he didn't sign up for the hunting qualification exam, he wouldn't know that the skills in the game interface could be obtained in this way.

Try more and explore more, and you will never go wrong.

In the memory of the original owner, there was a flea market open on weekends near the police station, with all kinds of goods available.

From valuable antique cars, to Chinese porcelain calligraphy and painting, silverware, porcelain, oil paintings favored by European aristocrats, and handicrafts of Africans and Indians, or vinyl records from the 70s and 80s, luxury goods at the end of the [-]s Traces can be seen in high-end clothing.

You need to be discerning at the flea market, otherwise you can easily be scammed.

There are not many truly valuable antiques, and most of them are actually modern handicrafts. If you expect to find something missing, you will probably end up disappointed.

Ryan himself didn't have much money, so he simply had a playful attitude at this time, carefully playing with these handicrafts from time to time to see if he could make the game system react.

The colorful teacups, carpets with various patterns, and the artistic-looking oil paintings couldn't stop Ryan. His eyes were fixed on some old objects.

Probably because they saw too many similar people, the merchant did not come to solicit customers, but let them check it out. Anyway, most people just didn't want to buy and were not the target customers.

"it's beautiful."

Ryan stood in front of an antique jewelry store. Different types of jewelry inside shone under the light, looking more shining than diamonds.

The ruby ​​is as bright as fire, the sapphire is deep blue, and its exquisite craftsmanship makes people want to know the story behind it.

"Can I see this?"

Ryan pointed to the ring inside the glass display case.

The shop owner is an old man in his 70s or [-]s. His beard and hair are already gray, and he wears small round glasses on the bridge of his nose. He has the air of an elegant craftsman.

"Of course. You can take a look at every piece of jewelry here. This is a palace ring from the Napoleonic period. It is very beautifully made. If the French who were fleeing had not brought it to them, I am afraid it would still be in France..."

It was okay not to speak, but once he spoke, Ryan frowned slightly.

This store is indeed not a good store. If it were Napoleon's ring, it would probably be put up for auction.

Now you can take it home for only $2800!

Sure enough, they are just deceiving stupid people with a lot of money.

"How long has it been since Napoleon?"

Ryan asked curiously, and at the same time he touched it, but there was no change in the game interface.

There is no way of knowing whether it is genuine or fake. The only thing we can know is that it has no effect on the game system.

The disappointed expression showed directly.

The shop owner thought that Ryan didn't like the ring and immediately started selling other jewelry.

"What type of gemstones do you like? The black and blue opal ring here is quite good. It was acquired from the descendants of Hollywood star Montgomery. It is said to be his favorite jewelry."

“If you really want to know about jewelry, you should look at brooches!”

Ryan listened to the explanation attentively, and at the same time gently brushed his hands over these touchable jewelry, but unfortunately he came back disappointed.

As the shopkeeper explained, he paid attention to Ryan's movements, as if he was worried about being thrown into his pocket.

There are not many antique jewelry in the store, and most of them are actually not worth much. Even if the price is [-]% off, you can make a lot of money.

Most jewelry is used by women, and there are not many opportunities for men to wear jewelry. What Ryan sees are basically cufflinks, signet rings, brooches and bracelets, decorative swords inlaid with gems, etc.

"If you attend some formal events, wearing a brooch is the best choice to add a gentlemanly demeanor to yourself, which can distinguish you from other male guests..."

The shop owner was still explaining eloquently, as if he wanted to give everything to this customer.

But Ryan stopped.

He stared intently at the platinum brooch in front of him. It was only inlaid with a drop-shaped gemstone. The workmanship looked pretty good and the price was $1998.

"Do you like this brooch very much? It is said that this is the jewelry that King Olaf of Norway wore when he was studying at Oxford University. It is simple yet elegant, and it is very suitable for your current age..."

The shop owner's eyes lit up and he immediately began to advocate. It seemed that every piece of jewelry in the shop had an extremely glorious past, which was completely out of proportion to the selling price.

"If it's $199, I'd buy it."

Ryan silently cut the price to one-tenth. His assets were not enough to buy the brooch at the original price.

The reason why I like it so much is because the game system just reacted!

"Ding, I found the frost magic crystal, do you want to absorb it?"

When the shop owner introduced it before, he only said it was a white gem, but in the system it turned out to be a magic crystal!

Ryan really doesn't know what the use of this thing is.

He wanted to absorb it directly and see the effect, but the brooch was not his, and there were several surveillance cameras in the store, so he didn't dare to commit any crime blatantly.

Since the stores are full of fakes anyway, it’s better to bargain and see if you can get them cheaper.

The shop owner has experienced many battles, knows how to bargain, and has seen similar customers.

"Young man, you have to know that this is the jewelry once worn by the King of Norway. When I bought it decades ago, it cost more than this. The white stone represents purity and beauty. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also can help you clean up. negative emotion."

Ryan just wanted to go home with the brooch. He had never refuted it before, but now he couldn't help it anymore.

"If it was really worn by the king, it proves that he was so destitute that he actually let his jewelry go to the public. I personally suggest that you sell this brooch to the Norwegian royal family. They must be very willing to take back the belongings of their fathers. "

"No, no, no, these jewelry of mine have their origins and can be traced. I need to find a buyer who is destined to them." The store manager said seriously, and he would not panic even if he was questioned and exposed.

Ryan took out his wallet and showed him all his belongings. At the same time, he used a trick that all consumers are good at: "It's just $200. If it's sold, I'll take it away. If it doesn't sell, I'll go to the next store."

People who really want to buy antique jewelry will not come here. It is obvious that they are selling to tourists and ignorant, arty locals.

"How about a little more? How about $800?"

"Sorry, that's all I have a budget for."

The shop owner looked at Ryan's expression, sighed and said, "I hope you really like this brooch. I'll wrap it up for you."

However, Ryan was worried about being dropped by the shop owner.

"No need to wrap it up, just give it to me."

After saying that, he took out all the cash in his wallet. There was a stack of 20-dollar green notes with President Jackson's title printed on them, no more, no less, exactly 10.

After paying the money, Lane's cash flow became precarious and he only had six dollars left.

50 and 100 US dollar bills are very rare in the hands of locals and are basically not used. Most of them are exchanged by foreign tourists.

Ryan felt much more relaxed after holding this brooch in his hand.

But he was not in a hurry to go home, but continued to touch this antique jewelry store, trying to find another fish that had slipped through the net!
