After hearing the shop owner's strong recommendation, Fiona, who had already purchased the required ore, suddenly became curious.
She had just seen the weird things placed on those shelves, but because she was just thinking about buying ore before, she didn't pay too much attention.
But after buying the ore now, her curiosity suddenly took over.
"...You don't have to ask my opinion on everything, Fei, just like you did when you went shopping with Anne."
Noticing the shining eyes that his sister looked at, which were very similar to the kitten she was holding, Anvis gave her a gentle smile and nodded lightly.
"And, I just happen to plan to take a look."
"Yeah! I know!"
Hearing this, the girl nodded happily.
"We want to see it, shopkeeper grandpa."
"Okay, then, please follow me, two distinguished guests!"
After getting permission, the old shop owner took the two of them back to the ground area of the shop.
After the same operation as before, the shelves returned to their original positions. At the same time, a small door opened on the wall on one side.
"The newly arrived goods are inside. This batch of relic items has just arrived in my hands and has not been selected by anyone yet. If you two don't like it, you can also take a look at other items in the store!"
The old shopkeeper explained very diligently that a deal of 20,000 gold coins was concluded, which made him address both of them with honorific titles.
Hearing this, the two walked into the door.
Inside the small door is a room similar to a warehouse, with a large number of relic items spread out on several rows of large shelves.
Relic items refer to those items that were excavated from ancient ruins. Their original purpose was obscure and their true properties need to be identified by relic scholars or mystics.
They may indeed be worth a fortune, but most of the time they are not even worth the appraisal fee.
After millions of years of time eroding, more than ninety-nine percent of the objects, except for those objects purely used to record knowledge, have lost their original functions.
Of course, in contrast, items that can be preserved intact to this day are truly valuable treasures that are not afraid of time.
Part of the curriculum of the mysterious academy where Anvis is located is responsible for researching and identifying these things.
Fiona has been excitedly selecting from a large number of unknown relics. Regardless of her identity and background, this kind of mystery and excitement of finding treasures always makes people's hearts beat faster.
Avis was also examining the items carefully to see if there were any good things hidden there.
An ancient stone plate with light green marks, a dark gold metal Rubik's Cube composed of many fine parts, a pair of simple black frame glasses, a crystal skull that is completely clear but missing its lower jaw...
Picking up the pair of glasses, Anvis checked the quality, put them on again, tried them on, and then put them down again.
His gaze was much more professional than Fiona's, but he didn't have much hope.
Although the store owner said they were the first ones to pick it up, it was just a joke.
These items have been inspected since they were excavated, and the parts that are most likely to be good items have been picked out.
Then, even if the old shopkeeper collected it directly from the place of production, he would check it a second time. After these two screenings, the remaining goods left for individual customers have a very slim chance of producing good products.
However, after walking around a shelf, Anvis suddenly noticed that in the corner of the bottom shelf, an inconspicuous gray coin suddenly flashed with a faint blue light.
Wei Wei was curious, so he picked it up and took a look.
However, when he took it into his hand, the coin did not change at all, as if it was just an ordinary coin.
With a guess in his mind, Anvis found a trace of spiritual power on his fingertips. Anvis wanted to test its material.
However, as soon as the mental power was detected, resistance was felt, unable to penetrate the gray surface of the coin.
Sure enough, it is this thing.
Anvis is very familiar with similar things, special props used by unscrupulous shopkeepers to trick newbies who want to pick up missing items.
They are usually small objects such as mysterious fragments, coins, broken blades, etc., which are coated with a layer of alloy that can block mental power, or simply made entirely of alloy that can block mental power, to deliberately create a sense of mystery.
There is a layer of magically processed fluorescent butterfly phosphorus powder attached to the surface. It is automatically excited when it senses someone approaching, and then it is completely decomposed after lighting up, leaving no trace.
And there are many colors to choose from, including rainbow lights.
Since the players appeared, the business of these profiteers has improved many times.
There are always many players who pick up holes with the attitude that they are the children of destiny, and then the boss tricks a few new fat sheep.
The player got an 'adventure' and was secretly happy. The shopkeeper slaughtered another fat sheep, feeling equally secretly happy.
Everyone is happy, everyone wins.Jpg
Holding the coin, Anvis glanced at the shopkeeper, who was looking this way.
When Anvis looked over, he smiled kindly and saw no problem.
"Brother, I found this, it seemed to light up just now!"
At this time, Fiona's voice came from beside her.
Anvis turned around and saw a dark cyan rock fragment in the girl's hand, with some simple carvings on it and a small white star gem embedded in it. Its original complete form could not be seen.
Another new prop?
Throwing the coin back to its place, Anvis took the fragment and took a look, but didn't see anything special. Mental power can penetrate it, but the feedback returned is just ordinary rocks without traces of magic power.
"I don't see anything special about it, Fee."
After shaking his head, Anvis returned the fragment to the girl. She seemed very interested in it.
After a while, the two finished the selection.
Anvis finally chose two ruin crystals. These are common currencies in some special alien races and ancient ruins, and they still have some value.
Fiona had several more similar fragments in her hand, which seemed to be fragments of the same item.
Moreover, Kate, who was held in Fiona's arms, seemed to have gained something as well, holding a lavender rock tightly between her paws.
"Does the kitten also like my products?"
Seeing this, the old shopkeeper smiled and explained to the two of them.
"The mercenary group that sold me this batch of relic items said that this stone was found in a relic area similar to a laboratory. It is said that it fell from Purple Moon Amys!"
"Well, dear old gentleman, now that it has fallen to the ground, its price shouldn't be as high as it was when it was in the sky, right?"
Anvis shrugged and said a skillful squeeze, blocking the shop owner's reason for asking for a high price in advance.
"Uh... of course not."
After choking for a moment, Old Jimmy suddenly realized that the customer he was facing was unexpectedly difficult to deal with.
