Chapter 18 Valuable Glass Beads

(Chapter 2 is here, please collect and vote!)

Liu Qi followed Prouss up the steps to the second floor from the protection of several shops.

Well, by the way, the architectural level in ancient Rome is indeed good. The Bronze Age created a primary and unfinished version of cement. Otherwise, the walls of Bella City and the dense stone houses in the city would not be so easy to build...

After paying a little attention to the stone slabs on the soles of his feet, the stones on the walls, and the things that act as adhesives in them, Liu Qi suddenly discovered that this seemed to be something similar to modern cement.

Liu Qi couldn't help but admire the Romans' technological level in his heart.

However, when I thought about the rows of web search items after the achievements of ancient Rome and the destruction on Baidu, Liu Qi disagreed. No matter how brilliant the civilization was, it was finally destroyed, leaving only some debris and cultural relics as nostalgia.

Besides, I am not a historian, but came to this game world for wealth such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., can Roman construction technology be comparable to real buildings? If this is true, then all the construction engineers in the real world that have been developed for thousands of years will die. Don’t stay in the world to waste food. Even the guys who were inferior to the ancients thousands of years ago do not need to waste food alive.

"Sir, please come in!"

Prous politely awakened Liu Qi from YY.

"Oh? Oh!! Am I going in alone?"

Liu Qicai, who was woken up from his YY world (the habit left by the otaku), found that he had already reached the second floor, and Prous stopped in front of the stairs and looked at him in front of two guards wearing bronze armor, carrying shields and daggers, but had no intention of leading him in, so he asked.

"Yes! Sir, Mr. Terry is waiting for you inside!"

After receiving this reply, Liu Qi, who had a gun in his hand, went in without hesitation. The submachine gun could exert 200% power in the corridor of the room. Even if the other party was wearing bronze armor and holding a weapon shield, facing a large-power pistol bullet with a caliber of 11.43, it was only a dead end. Liu Qi was not worried that the other party would be willing to make money.

The two fully armed guards obviously received permission from their boss and let Liu Qi go easily, while Prous went down to re-inspect.

……………………………………………………

I won’t mention the bargaining process.

Anyway, an hour later, Liu Qi was personally taken downstairs by Terry, the boss of Terry's jewelry store.

Looking at the expressions of the two, they obviously thought they had taken a big advantage in the transaction just now, otherwise they would not have smiled, as happy as if they had picked up dozens of gold coins or won hundreds of thousands of lottery tickets.

"It's a big profit. Ten transparent glass beads with the same quality and thumb size are sold in Rome. Especially this is the Oriental Glass Bead that you have never seen before! Well, the mysterious Oriental Glass Beads! This name is definitely a good buying point, and it's ten glass beads of the same quality! If you make a necklace, those noble ladies and noble ladies in Rome will not go crazy. Terry shop will definitely be famous in Rome this time, and will not be squeezed out like last time! Hey, isn't that Nina? Why did you go out with this merchant..."

With a big belly like a woman who has been pregnant for seven or eight months, Terry, a jewelry store owner, personally sent Liu Qi downstairs under several fully armed personal guards, watched Liu Qi talk to the beautiful female clerk named Nina in his shop for a few more times before leaving together, and secretly thought in his heart.

"Make it! It's profit! Ten transparent glass beads with a unit price of one dollar can actually sell for 530 gold coins. Damn it's faster than robbery, or the robbery that the other party took the initiative to deliver to the door. As expected, the local bullies of the Bronze Age couldn't tell at all that this was the most valuable glass bead!"

Liu Qi was in a very happy mood. After all, using valuable glass beads to exchange them for large golden coins, no one would feel bad, especially after successfully chatting with the beautiful woman.

Well, it is obvious that Liu Qi is not so sarcastic enough. Otherwise, according to the fact that there were even extremely black-hearted Western merchants who used a few worthless colored glass beads to exchange for large areas of land in the hands of the natives (typical examples are Mi Lijian's Manhattan Peninsula and New York State), gold, slaves and precious fur, Liu Qi is now only exchanging hundreds of gold coins, which is really a pediatric level. He is too kind-hearted.

Well, it’s a crooked building, let’s take a look at Liu Qi and Nina who are walking on the road in the city.

Nina finally figured out that Liu Qi was not interested in her (really not?), but planned to ask her to introduce the house purchase and sale in Bella City. Well, to be precise, it is just to see if Nina knows anyone in this regard. Nina's shop clerk is always clearer than Liu Qi's tricks here.

"Mr. Liu*, what kind of house do you need?"

After walking to the street, Nina, whose face returned to normal, asked Liu Qi. She didn't know what kind of house the man with strange black hair and black eyes in front of her was asking for? If it was a house in an ordinary residential and commercial area, she knew one or two people and could try it as an introducer, but she had no choice but to take Liu Qi over in the city or in the aristocratic areas. After all, as a clerk in a jewelry store, she didn't know those people with high status, so she had to explain it in advance.

"…Well, Nina, you can just call me 'Liu' directly. What I need is a sturdy and safe house with a basement storage room. How much is this kind of house?"

Liu Qi looked at the blonde beauty in front of him with his eyes that had reached the first level of vision, while enthusiastically opening her mouth, and was amazed in her heart. She didn't care much when she heard the other party introduce the jewelry just now, but now if she looks carefully, the other party can be considered a beauty.

Her long golden hair, which is like a waterfall, is extremely conspicuous, her skin does not have the rough pores of an ordinary white woman, and her figure is also quite good, plus her medium-sized appearance... Tsk tsk, the evaluation is 65 points.

Don’t think that the score is low. In fact, according to Liu Qi’s rating standards for women, ordinary beauties are 60 points. Ordinary women, commonly known as the passing line, are 50 points. If they are less than 50 points, they are basically the ugly ones. Well, the famous Fengjie score is about 30 points. If they are less than 30 points, they can be of the first level of ancient dinosaurs. You can directly act in a live horror movie without any makeup. The 60-70 points level is the level of ordinary beauties and one in a hundred. It belongs to the level of applying for being a movie star and a model directly. It is already quite good. At least Liu Qi can only watch it in front of an otaku, or just watch it when watching a small movie or an H anime.

"...Okay, Liu, according to your requirements, the ordinary residential areas and shops in Bella City can meet your requirements, but are you in a hurry to buy it? The price may be higher!"

Nina said with a frown.

Of course, Nina could feel Liu Qi's burning gaze, because Liu Qi had no intention or experience to hide it at all, but in Nina's opinion, it was no big deal. It was natural for men to love women.

The ancient Roman atmosphere is only open, not a boast. Nina is probably not over twenty years old, but the experience between men and women has been experienced many times. Even her first experience was taken away by the jewelry store owner Terry, who occasionally climbed on Terry's bed with other women. It is because of this relationship that she was able to lead Liu Qi to find the boss, otherwise ordinary clerks would not have this ability. Of course, this is also the reason why she had the courage to refuse the guard captain of the shop Prouss to ask for a favor without being retaliated or even making things difficult for her.

After changing his figure and appearance, Liu Qi has become taller and stronger, and he lives up to the previous otaku physique and can barely be considered a handsome guy.

In Nina's eyes, Liu Qi, a man in strange clothes, can only be considered a medium level compared to the men she has experienced, but her black hair and black eyes have a very exotic feeling.

The most important thing is that Nina has a good first impression of Liu Qi, so she acknowledged that Liu Qi was a little intimate, and also cared about Liu Qi for a little while, so she would not remind her of the problems.

"My time is very tight, and the price is also good, but Nina, what do you expect the transaction price to reach? Let me have a clear price first."

Of course, Liu Qi was ignorant of Nina's psychological activities. After all, he did not know how to read minds. However, since Nina agreed that he had some intimate names and familiar names as Queen Liu, he certainly understood that this beauty was at least not disgusted with him. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to refuse others, so he wouldn't have to do anything. He wouldn't have to be a bully. His moral integrity has not yet reached the point where he wants to go when he sees a beautiful woman.

"Well, the houses of ordinary residents in Bella City are not cheap. The houses of ordinary residents are about 50 to 100 gold coins, and the prices of shops are much higher. I know that the lowest price of a small shop requires 300 gold coins. As for the prices of those big shops, I don't know..."

Nina said while observing Liu Qi's face. When she saw Liu Qi frowning slightly when she heard a small shop priced at hundreds of gold coins, she was very aware of it and did not introduce the shop that was definitely higher.

"…Nina, then is it okay to choose a house for ordinary residents? It doesn't matter if the price is higher, but the speed is fast. It's better to be an idle house that can be sold today!"

When Liu Qi heard Nina's words, he felt extremely distressed. Why was the housing prices in ancient Rome so high that they would not make people live anymore? Damn it is really a real estate that can't be hurt.

Fortunately, Liu Qi now has a lot of gold coins on hand, so it is more than enough to buy a house.

"Yeah, OK, Liu!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Three hours later, on a street in Bella

"This is the house I spent 200 gold coins?"

Liu Qi looked at the house of about 200 square meters in front of him with a strange face.
