"You must not be blind, didn't you see that I just took it off my body? But you still dared to ask if it is mine." Lu Zhan sat down on the chair opposite the middle-aged appraiser with a golden sword.
His face now changed into that of the ugly-faced man under General Duobao, so his behavior became a little rougher accordingly.
"But... how could this... such a good treasure belong to... someone like you?" The middle-aged appraiser murmured to himself. He seemed to be used to judging people by their appearance, and he didn't even think about what he said.
blurted out.
"How come you are talking so much nonsense?" Lu Zhan said impatiently: "If I ask you to do the appraisal, do it quickly and have some professionalism, okay? Are all the appraisals in your secret workshop so mother-in-law?"
As soon as the words "professionalism" and "secret workshop" were mentioned, the middle-aged appraiser immediately recovered from his distracted state.
He took his hands away from the soft armor, sat upright, and said to Lu Zhan with a serious face: "To be honest, brother, I really don't have the ability to appraise this precious armor of yours?"
This sentence made Lu Zhan a little confused, "Really? There are so many appraisers here, and no one can do it? If this is the case, then your secret workshop is too unmanned, and here
Which person in Yunmeng City should I find with more insight to appraise it?"
The middle-aged appraiser smiled proudly, waved his hand and said: "If there is something that our secret workshop cannot identify, you can go to all the secret workshops within a few hundred miles and you will not be able to find anyone who can identify it."
As he spoke, he pointed at the soft armor with his finger and said: "This treasured armor of yours should be a high-level armor of level seven or above. Our intermediate appraisers cannot appraise it due to their limited experience and knowledge. But -"
Having said this, the white-faced middle-aged man paused deliberately, then raised his tone and continued: "But we also have a senior appraiser in our secret workshop."
He pointed his slender fingers towards the dark and mysterious rooms at the end of the trading hall and said, "Have you seen those rooms at the end? That's where the best goods are traded, and the penultimate room is our secret room."
There is a special room for the senior appraiser of the workshop, you can go to that room for appraisal."
Lu Zhan nodded, put away his soft armor and was about to walk away when the middle-aged appraiser said again: "Looking at how cool this brother is, is this your first time coming to our secret shop for business?"
"Yes, it's my first time here."
"This... is a bit troublesome." The middle-aged appraiser said: "The rules of our secret shop are: senior appraisers only serve VIP-level customers, which means they must trade with us for more than a certain amount of customers.
Only then can you get the services of a senior appraiser. Brother, you have never traded in our Yunmeng City secret shop, so you are not qualified to ask that senior appraiser to provide appraisal services."
Lu Zhan thought to himself: It turns out there are so many broken rules here.
Although he was bored at the bottom of his heart, he currently had a question to ask for advice, so he had to ask in a more humble tone: "Then, sir, what should I do to be considered a VIP customer?"
"It's very simple." The middle-aged appraiser looked at him: "When doing transactions, whether buying or selling, as long as the transaction is more than 10,000 taels, you can be counted as a silver-level VIP; those with more than 100,000 taels are considered as gold-level VIPs.
; When you reach more than one million taels, you can become a platinum-level VIP, and you will enjoy the best discounts and information services."
Lu Zhan said "Oh", "So it's not very troublesome to be a distinguished guest. What do you think of me trading this bow?" As he said this, he put the short bow slung over his shoulder towards
Put it in front of the middle-aged appraiser.
The middle-aged appraiser took the short bow and looked at it. He touched the bow body, pulled the bow string, and then carefully looked at the carvings and emblems on the bow body. He turned to Lu Zhan and said, "Are you really going to sell this?"
Zhang Gong?"
"Yes, sold." Lu Zhan said firmly, without any regret at all.
This bold and unrestrained style really shocked the middle-aged appraiser. He asked again with a serious face: "Brother, are you sure!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm sure."
Seeing Lu Zhan's certainty, the middle-aged appraiser relaxed and showed a slightly satisfied smile, "Okay, then our secret shop will accept it."
He thought about it in his mind and said: "Your bow has reached level 6, but it looks rather old. Brother, you also know that weapons are no better than old wine. The older they are, the more they will wear out, so the most we can pay is
Twenty-five thousand taels of silver, if you want to turn it into elixirs, we can give you a first-class elixir coupon for 500 elixirs."
"Dan coupon?" Lu Zhan had never heard of this thing before and couldn't help but ask, "Is this thing the same as a banknote?"
"It's a little different." The middle-aged appraiser saw that the person in front of him looked generous, but in fact he didn't have much knowledge, so he explained with a smile: "A silver note is a transaction method that can be circulated in the market on any occasion. Our elixir
Coupons can only be circulated in secret shops all over the world, or among merchants who have business relationships with secret shops. In many specific situations, such as important transactions in secret shops, etc., only elixir coupons can be recognized.
And refuse to use gold, silver and silver notes to pay. According to the market price, a first-class elixir "Yangyuan Dan" is usually converted into fifty taels of silver. You can use the elixir coupons to exchange for silver, or you can use the elixir coupons directly.
Replace it with elixirs."
After hearing what he said, Lu Zhan understood in his heart that elixirs could be used as trading units like currency.
He didn't have much interest in silver, so he said without thinking: "Then you can give me the elixir coupons, but I want to exchange them for five elixir coupons with a face value of one hundred first-level elixirs."
"Okay, no problem." The middle-aged appraiser accepted the six-level "Three Mandrills Shocking Wild Goose Bow", issued five first-level elixir coupons and handed them to Lu Zhan, and gave him another one made of silver.
The frivolous card said: "Brother, from now on, you are a silver-level VIP in our secret shop. As the amount of transactions in the future increases, you can be upgraded to gold or even the top platinum VIP. The higher your level, the more you will enjoy during transactions."
The greater the discount, the better the service you will receive. I hope you will come to our Yunmeng City Secret Shop for transactions in the future."
Lu Zhan accepted the elixir coupon and silver card and confirmed with a smile: "So I can go to the senior appraiser to appraise the items, right?"
"Yes, we will do our best to provide you with the best service." The middle-aged appraiser answered humbly.
Then, he took the "Three Mandrills Shocking Wild Goose Bow" in his hand and asked Lu Zhan: "Don't you want to know what's so special about this bow? Can it reach the level of a sixth-level weapon?"
"It's just a bow. Apart from archery, what else is special about it?" Lu Zhan looked at him puzzled. He was not very interested in long-range attack weapons, so he didn't know much about it.
The middle-aged appraiser explained to him with a smile: "This is a 'Three Mandrills Shocking Wild Goose Bow', which is a rare and famous bow specializing in the great country of the Northern Continent, 'Fanyou Country'. The bow body is made of red-heart nanmu that is more than a hundred years old."
, the material of the bow body alone is already very expensive, but this is not the most rare thing about this bow. Its biggest highlight lies in the bow string.
As he spoke, he hooked the bow string with one finger and pulled it back a foot. Then when he released his finger, he saw the bow string bounce back with a "quacking" sound. The sound of this string was different from the sound of other bow strings.
It was like an injured ape screaming pitifully, which was so harsh and unpleasant that people around him felt a thorn drilling into their eardrums at the same time. The sting was unbearable, and they all covered their ears and looked in this direction.
"Did you see it?" the middle-aged appraiser continued to explain: "This bowstring is made from the hamstring of a ferocious ape-like beast called the blue-faced mandrill. The magic thing about it is that even if you don't use arrows, you can shoot it with light.
By pulling the bow string and shooting in the air, you can shoot out an arrow formed by sound waves, and the sound produced by the sound waves is like the cry of a mandrill beast. It is very harsh and unpleasant, and can have a shocking effect on people's minds. I am still light.
Gently draw the bow, and if it is fully drawn, the sound it makes can make a warrior in the late stage of body refining instantly lose consciousness for a while. You also know that for warriors fighting face to face, losing concentration for a while means death.
.The higher the level of the bow, the louder the sound of arrows fired. It is said that even if a high-level bow is fired from the air, it can use sound waves to break the heart of the famous ferocious beast of Hokuriku, the iron feather snow goose, flying high in the sky.
It fell to the ground and died, hence the name 'Three Mandrills Shocking the Wild Goose Bow'."
Lu Zhan said "Oh" and thought that there is something so magical about this bow. It's a pity that he is not interested in long-distance attack weapons like bows and arrows. Otherwise, it would be a good high-level weapon to assist in attacks.
Only then did he realize that he had been deceived by the middle-aged appraiser. If a bow with such a high level and such magical effects was put up for auction in an auction house, it might even fetch an excellent price.
The price comes.
However, this young man Lu Zhan doesn't pay much attention to money matters. If he suffers a loss, he will suffer a loss. At best, he should pay more attention next time and treat it as paying some tuition fees. There is no need to worry about the loss of some gold and silver.
Lu Zhan picked up his precious armor and asked the middle-aged appraiser: "I also want to buy a book about the art of war. I don't know where I can buy it."
The middle-aged appraiser pointed to a row of counters near the door of the trading hall: "You can go to the miscellaneous trading counter and have a look. There are books on the art of war and elementary martial arts. Big brother, you are now a silver
As a VIP, just show your silver card and they will provide you with excellent services."
After Lu Zhan left, the middle-aged appraiser called for a bodyguard guarding the secret workshop and whispered to him: "Go to Qiu Chongfeng and tell him that there is an eye-catching guy here."
The bodyguard nodded and walked away quickly.
Over there, Lu Zhan walked to the sundries counter and saw that it was divided into many small shops with wooden boards and bricks; there were military books, martial arts manuals, civil engineering items, healing supplies, and even poisons.
None are lacking.
There is a dazzling array of goods here, but the items are all very average.
Better, high-grade goods must be traded at auctions.
He was most interested in martial arts, so he first went to the counter of martial arts books and wandered around. However, Lu Zhan soon became disappointed. Most of the books here were only suitable for warriors in the realm of physical training.
There are very few Kung Fu books suitable for practicing in the Bone Forging Realm. Even if there are one or two, they are the most common and popular. For someone like him who has reached the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, these elementary martial arts are already considered to be the best.
It is difficult to enter the Dharma's eye.
Then he walked to the military books counter. This counter was almost the smallest of all the counters, and the types of books on the shelves were also very few.
Presumably, the art of war, formations, and strategies are still relatively obscure subjects.
There is only a young low-level appraiser tending this military book counter.
He saw that Lu Zhan was a silver-level VIP, so he was extra nervous. He followed him step by step. Every time he touched a book with his finger, he immediately recited a long introduction about that book like he was pouring beans.
He looked very dedicated, which saved Lu Zhan the trouble of reading through each book.
