doomsday seclusion

"This "Imperial Treasure Studio" is a time-honored store in the antique street, but it has a bad reputation. It often secretly sells the treasures sent by customers for appraisal, and then sells them secretly." She looked up at the black plaque hanging on the door. The tone of the shiny signboard is very complicated: "Although this method is shameless, I am not much better. I bought a lot of jade from them in private, so I can't be called open and aboveboard."

"People here just let 'Yubaozhai' do whatever they want?" I frowned.

Even if cutting people's fortunes is tantamount to murdering parents, but if such a black shop is allowed to run rampant, are you not afraid of blacking out other shops in Antique Street?

"Because he is also the big landlord of Antique Street, and he has great power to speak, so no one said anything." Xiang Lvzhu said: "In the early years when "Imperial Treasure Studio" was in the limelight, the customers used to flow in and made a lot of money. At that time The boss was very discerning, so he bought many shops as real estate, and rented them out to later antique dealers, so even if the business plummeted because of the secret hands-on business, relying on rent collection can still maintain the prosperity of the past.”

"Later, "Imperial Treasure Studio" was handed over twice, and when it was passed on to the current boss, he started an online business because he had enough business acumen."

"The spread of wind reviews on the Internet is fast, and he also understands this. He changed his previous attitude and dealt with buyers diligently and cleanly, and quickly gained popularity. Not only did "Imperial Treasure Studio" be whitewashed, but he also brought back the physical store. buying gas."

"It's just that the hands and feet of the people in the store are still not clean. After tasting the sweetness of getting rich, they still play the old-fashioned bag-swapping game from time to time, but they are afraid of tarnishing their online reputation, so they are not so blatant. They only pick soft persimmons to start."

Xiang Luzhu is indeed a person who has been in the antique street for a long time, and knows these secrets clearly.

"After the ups and downs once, I still don't know how to repent." I shook my head.

Sure enough, people die for wealth, and birds die for food.

"As a member of the Antique Street, I can't do things that destroy people's foundations, but this "Imperial Treasure Room" is an exception. Most of the treasures in it are swindled and abducted, and I don't know how many people have been tricked into buying them at high prices. The counterfeit goods made many people go bankrupt and lost everything. Selling such a black-hearted shop is nothing more than peace of mind.” Xiang Lvzhu had obviously been dissatisfied for a long time.

I felt the same, so I opened the door with a special key, entered the store and started searching around.

The old shop has been covered with dust for a month, and there is a faint smell of decay in the air. The shelves are full of magnificent treasures, but the real and fake are mixed, and it is impossible for experts to distinguish in a short time.

But I don't need to identify, the real jade has high points, and the fake jade has few points, all of which can be automatically judged by the ability.

While I was absorbing it, Xiang Lvzhu was not idle either. She dexterously got behind the store and began to rummage through the warehouse of the old store.Although she is not very specialized in jadeite, she has worked in the jade market for a few years and has developed some eyesight. She sorts the treasures by herself in the rear to reduce the expenditure of my abilities.

She knows my abilities very well, and knows that while I am absorbing jade, I am also consuming a lot of energy.After walking around her shop, I was exhausted, and I even drank a few bottles of refreshing drinks. Now I am completely exhausted by my mental excitement.

Her figure disappeared from my sight. I stood in the front shop and absorbed another fake and inferior product. After feeling the increased fatigue, a thought flashed in my heart.

Why do I only increase energy points when I absorb crystal nuclei, just like absorbing jade, unlike other ability users who can not only replenish the lost ability, but also upgrade the ability after accumulating to a certain level?

Could it be that the way I absorb it is wrong?

This is impossible. When the supernatural person absorbs the crystal nucleus, he puts the crystal nucleus in the palm of his hand, and uses his mental power to introduce the energy contained in it into the body. The nuclear process is no different.

Could it be that I overlooked something?

I racked my brains and still couldn't figure it out. In order to solve this doubt, I walked out of the store, locked a homeless zombie wandering in the passage, exchanged it for a sledge, and knocked it to the ground. It took a little effort to break its skull and dig out the crystal nucleus.

Rinse the crystal nucleus with water, and I put this first-grade crystal in the palm of my hand. In order to find out what is different, I deliberately slowed down the energy introduction of the crystal nucleus this time, and at the same time allocated a wisp of energy to observe the state of mind in my mind. exchange system.

As a result, the moment the energy entered the body, a dialogue box actually popped up in his mind.

[Energy intake detected, belong to?Exchange/upgrade]

The dialog box only has a confirmation time of three seconds, I just froze for a while, and the countdown was over.

In the absence of instructions, the default is the system default, and in an instant, my energy points jumped up by [-] points.

It turned out to be the case.

I came to the spirit, and hit the second crystal nucleus, this time I chose [upgrade].

Different from the emptiness when the points increase, a substantial warm current pours into the limbs and bones in an instant, and travels endlessly in the body. Where the warmth flows, the cells seem to be active, and even the spirit has improved a little.

Below the exchange panel, there is an additional progress bar, which is currently 50/50000.

In other words, it can be upgraded by absorbing another 99 first-level crystal nuclei.

"Mr. Su Ling, everything has been sorted." At this moment, Xiang Lvzhubu said to me outside the door.

I temporarily put away my thoughts of continuing to explore, followed her into the back shop, picked up the emerald and began to absorb it.

The energy value "cengceng" climbed up, which shows that her vision is vicious and correct, and the crystal nucleus absorbed just now is just used to make up for the physical strength of my ability to use it at this moment.

After the absorption is complete, the energy has reached the standard, not only enough to support two vaccines, but also enough to make up for the previous expenditure on the zombie antidote.I nodded in anticipation to Luzhu, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Don't rush to be happy." It is reasonable for her to choose the vaccine instead of the antidote, but I am also obliged to tell you about the risks involved.

After being vaccinated, apart from having a high fever, she and Fang Lei also need to be more cautious in their actions in the future. Otherwise, once someone finds out that the zombie virus doesn't work on them, it's hard to guarantee that they will be betrayed and sent to the research institute.

"A Lei and I can't go back a long time ago." After Xiang Lvzhu heard this, he put away his smile and looked gloomy.

A small team could hardly escape from the tide of corpses with all their strength. If she and Fang Lei survived miraculously, the news might spread immediately.The much-anticipated result brought high risks. Fang Lei's wounds could not be concealed. He was injured by zombies but did not turn into zombies. He would soon be targeted by certain forces.

At that time, no matter if you keep silent about the antidote or vaccine, you are afraid that you will be hypnotized or tortured to extract a confession.

Furthermore, it is still uncertain whether there are any unknown reborns. If the matter of Fang Lei is known, the other party will soon be able to track me down.

Sure enough, saving one more person means more trouble.

One "homeless" person, two "homeless" people, I began to think that my small modular house could not accommodate four people.

"As long as there is a repellant, Ah Lei and I will find a way." Xiang Lvzhu said with great apologies, "Even if we live in the city, or he and I will find a secluded countryside and build our own. A mini safe zone is also possible.”

"Let's go back and talk."

This is all for later. Before that, I have to watch her and Fang Lei through the three-day high fever period after the vaccination before the deal is considered complete.
