More than ten days had passed since he took Feng Xue to visit the black market. Holm almost thought that the boss had forgotten that he could be on call when he received a call from the other party.
Looking at the handsome young man who appeared at the door with a business smile, Feng Xue, who was not wearing a filter, wouldn't have recognized him at all if he didn't have a contractual connection.
But to him, it made no difference whether the broker was a man or a woman. After he opened the door and signaled the other person to come in, he patted a stack of cloth books on the table and said:
"Come and see how much this is worth."
As soon as Holm entered the living room, he had already focused on the books. When he heard Feng Xue's approval, he immediately walked up impatiently.
As a broker, he still has the most basic vision. Although he is not like some appraisers who can directly see through the elements of an item, he has his own means of confirming the value of the item.
I casually looked at the book at the top and looked at the name of "The Biography of Jing Ke". I understood that this should be a biography of a character. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, biographies are not like reference books that can directly give out a story.
The road to acting cannot provide clues to skills, but it cannot be completely denied. After all, some biographies still contain some acting skills.
But when he picked up the book, he had already abandoned the thought of reading the contents... because that was no longer important - there was no doubt that this was a real book!
Although it is difficult for ordinary people to judge whether a book really has the elements without relying on identification, but as a broker who has been involved in the black market for a long time, Holm clearly knows the difference between fake books and genuine books.
The most obvious point is whether you will regard it as a book when you pick it up.
This is actually not easy for ordinary people, because everyone is easily led by preconceptions, but for people like Holm who make a living in this industry, it is like an instinctive "feel".
There is no doubt that this is a top-notch book that can be used as an auxiliary material to create illusions above the Excellent level. It is definitely not comparable to the fake books that simply copy the text!
With a nervous mood, Holm checked the remaining books, and his original shocked mood subsided slightly.
There are a total of twelve books in front of me, of which only two or three are real books, and the rest are just fake books. The question now is whether this man knows the authenticity of the books he copied.
If you don't know, can you buy these books at the price of the fake books?
You must know that, except for a few teaching reference books that record precious knowledge, fake books are only the price of mid-range ordinary-level illusions. But once it is confirmed to be a real book, the price will start at least 200,000. If the content itself is
If it's good enough, there will definitely be people willing to bid for it if it's over a million dollars.
Although the contents of these three suspected real books tend to be biographies or even novels, the contents basically point to heroes and assassins. They can be used as role models, or used by blacksmiths to create corresponding weapons. Basically
Don't worry about no sales.
With his connections and the few remaining books, he can conservatively estimate that he can sell for more than 900,000 yuan. If he encounters a scammer, selling for two or three million is not too high.
And this is not a one-time event. If you have this money tree in your hands...
The moment this dangerous thought appeared, Holm suppressed it.
Judging from the attitude this gentleman showed when bargaining on the black market, there is no doubt that he is a master who has the ability to see through the elements. And judging from the assembly of the phantoms on his body, I am afraid he is not an ordinary strong man. Want to do this in this kind of way?
A person who deceives others is almost the same as a fool.
Holm, who was almost carried away by the benefits, took a deep breath, then calmed down and said:
"Boss, there are a few books here that I can't see clearly, but at least two of them are real books. If you use my channel, I can give you two options. Of course, this is not forcing you to choose. I also
I can introduce you to the book trading market. This is not mandatory, but I hope you will listen to my suggestion first."
"That's not necessary." After condensing the label of book copywriter a few days ago, he found channels from other organizations and went to the underground bookstall. Naturally, he knew exactly what Holm wanted to say. He reached out and knocked on the ten on the table.
Two books, calmly said:
"The total of twelve copies is one million. If you accept it, I will take it. If not, I will find someone else."
"Ah this..."
Holm was a little confused by Feng Xue's direct answer, but he immediately realized that the other party had probably already reached a certain point in the book market, and the quotation was just above his bottom line.
If the book that he can't see clearly is a real book, then he will undoubtedly make a profit, but if it is a fake book, he will not lose too much, and considering the channel, he will mix those fake books with the real books and sell them together.
, there is basically no possibility of loss.
Plus this man probably has the tag of a scribe…
Holm gritted his teeth, nodded and said:
"Deal! But boss, I don't have that much cash with me, I need to go back to get it..."
Having said this, he looked at Feng Xue with some worry, fearing that he would think that he was planning to go back and ask someone to rob him.
However, Feng Xue nodded unexpectedly, and Holm stood up as if he had been granted amnesty and said:
"Just a moment, I'll be back in fifteen at most... no, ten minutes at most!"
…
Watching Holm walk away angrily, Feng Xue also smiled.
After more than ten days of playing the role, Feng Xue's progress as a "book copyist" was actually not very good. During the whole process, he copied at least 200 books, but only one of them really showed the key.
It was the one that Holm was not sure whether it was a real book before, but the two real books, including the Biography of Jing Ke, were actually recast by Feng Xue.
According to his experiments, if you want to turn a fake book into a real book through recasting, you not only need the elements suitable for the book, but you also need to have the corresponding label yourself, or have considerable attainments in transcribing content. On this basis,
He does have a good success rate in books such as recipes and assassin stories.
However, because he felt that recipes might not sell well even if they were real books, he directly used the recipes as materials for smelting book elements, while the assassin books were thrown out to restore health.
As a price, most of the "food" elements that Feng Xue saved in reality have been used, and there are more than thirty [book] elements in the element column.

Theoretically speaking, counterfeit items can also be used to fight monsters. For example, silver items with [Restrain Evil] and [Restrain Immortality] can have an effect on bad omens or ghost stories such as vampires and werewolves.
But the problem is that illusions have several advantages that fakes cannot replace.
First, unless the phantom encounters a targeted element, or is defeated by a more destructive phantom (such as paper meeting a knife, wood meeting metal, or directly encountering a phantom with a [destructive] element)
, otherwise it will be difficult to damage, and even if the damage is not serious, it can be repaired automatically. However, the counterfeit does not have this kind of durability and can be easily destroyed during the battle with Bad Omen.
Second, the various skills and special effects possessed by phantoms. As the crystallization of fantasy, phantoms, except for those garbage whiteboards, basically have some extraordinary power. Except for a few counterfeit objects, they need to burn [Consciousness] to activate.
Except for its abilities, the power of the elements can only be exerted when it hits, and there is almost no increase in itself.
In ordinary landfills, when there is no convenient way to obtain phantom objects, using counterfeit objects is no other option. However, in Nanshan District, a counterfeit object that can fight is already a relatively good "foundation", and the price is as good as
There is not much difference between miscellaneous level phantoms, and is even higher. Rather than fighting with such a weapon that is easily destroyed, it is better to invest some money in exchange for an ordinary level phantom to be safer.
