More than a hundred magic costumers carried large and small boxes of things outside. Li Xiu and Bai Wanli walked through many doors and came to a small warehouse.
"Director Li, you can choose whatever you want here. This is your director's benefit, but you can only choose one thing." Bai Wanli stood aside and said with a sneer.
"Didn't I say that the chief welfare should be a super spiritual magic core, a super spiritual gem and a batch of ordinary magic cores and ordinary gems?" Li Xiu frowned.
"You took people to move away all those magic cores and gems. Where do you want me to go to get those things for you? Or you can come back to pick them up at a later time, or you can pick them up here. You can choose this thing yourself." Bai Wanli said expressionlessly.
"Then let me avoid having to choose one thing." Li Xiu had asked Li Qingyi before and knew that there was indeed a choice between resources and items. Today, he wanted to force Bai Wanli to take out the super spiritual gems or something. It's probably not possible either.
It would be even more impossible to do it another day. If you can do this kind of thing once, if you do it a second time, you will not embarrass Bai Wanli, but you will have trouble with the president of Changshengtian.
No one wants to have a bunch of bandits in their house, and that won't happen again.
Li Xiu glanced over and saw boxes of different sizes placed on each shelf. There were probably thousands of them.
"Where's the catalog?" Li Xiu looked at Bai Wanli and asked.
"Didn't I tell you before that the General Affairs Department is taking a large inventory. The inventory has not been completed yet. There is no catalog. You can choose slowly until you are satisfied." Bai Wanli sneered.
"Okay, then I will pick slowly." Li Xiu was not in a hurry and opened the boxes one by one to check them out.
Most of these boxes contain contracts and rings, which should be things left behind after the death of some trialists.
It's just that before there is a contract between the contract and the demon spirit ring, it is difficult to tell what level and quality it is. If you choose like this, you don't know what you can pick.
Bai Wanli watched with cold eyes. There were good and bad deeds and rings, and most of them were not of high grade and quality. The proportion of S-level items was less than one-twentieth, let alone super-spiritual items. , there are not many pieces in total.
Han Mingshou was able to choose the Dragon-Slaying Dagger before because Bai Wanli pointed it out to him.
If you choose without knowing anything, the chance of picking a super-soul item is about the same as buying a lottery ticket.
"What is this?" Li Xiu pointed to the jade tablet in a box with Bai Wanli.
"A jade plaque, don't you even recognize the jade plaque?" Bai Wanli teased.
Li Xiu didn't say anything. After putting down the jade token, he continued to look down. He opened the boxes one by one. It was hard to tell whether the contents were good or bad. In the unactivated state, they all looked the same.
Li Xiu was walking and looking. When he was thinking about how to choose something, he suddenly heard a woman's voice in his mind: "Husband, choose the red box on the left."
Li Xiu was startled and quickly looked around, but did not see the figure of the bride to be married. Only Bai Wanli followed not far behind him.
"With outsiders around, it's not convenient for me to show my face. Please husband, please choose the red box." The voice of the bride-to-be came into Li Xiu's mind again.
Li Xiu frowned slightly and looked to his left.
There was indeed a red wooden box there. It was not too big, about a foot long, a palm wide, and four to five centimeters thick.
Li Xiu picked up the red box, opened it, and saw a sheathed dagger inside the box.
The scabbard and hilt looked like they were cast from brass and were inlaid with many gems of different colors.
Li Xiu took a quick look and saw that the gems on it probably contained all five major gems, including rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds.
However, the gems inlaid on it are all relatively small. The largest ones are only two or three carats, and the smaller ones are less than one carat. These small gems are the majority.
"What is this?" Li Xiu looked at Bai Wanli and asked.
"A short sword." Bai Wanli said casually.
"That's it." Li Xiu saw that there was nothing strange about Bai Wanli's expression and knew that he probably didn't value this dagger very much.
If it were Li Xiu himself, he would definitely not choose this dagger, but the bride-to-be must have her reasons for requesting it so strongly.
If Li Xiu didn't choose, he would be afraid that the bride-to-be would come to him and cause trouble.
"Okay, you can just take it." Bai Wanli had no expression on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
That dagger wasn't even a contract, it was just a handicraft inlaid with precious stones.
Bai Wanli knew the origin of this sword. It was a relic left by an elder who guarded the gate of trial after his death.
Because the elder had no descendants, all his belongings were put into the warehouse after his death, and the dagger was one of them.
I had already researched it before putting it into storage. The scabbard and sword were both made of brass. Although there was a little gold mixed in, the content was not much. The gems inlaid on it were not large in size, and there were no demon gems.
If Li Xiu took a fancy to those gems and wanted this dagger, he would undoubtedly suffer a big loss.
If he follows the normal procedure, the benefits Li Xiu can get are far more valuable than the gems inlaid on the sword. It can be said that these gems are just a drop in the bucket in comparison.
Bai Wanli didn't make things difficult, and Li Xiu successfully took out the gem dagger.
The magic costume masters also moved all the supplies outside the gate. More than a hundred magic costume masters moved, carried, and carried, and followed Li Xiuhao back to the magic costume master compound.
Li Xiu asked Qian Zhongshan to take most of the supplies to the institute.
The research institute is the main consumer of supplies. The magic costume masters themselves only need to receive some supplies to live their lives. Their magic costumes are also received from the research institute.
In the past, only 30% of the resources of the magic costume team were allocated to the research institute and the magic costume master compound combined.
Now 100% of it is in Li Xiu's hands, and he has given 70% of it to the research institute and magic costumers, doubling their salary, which makes these magic costumers and researchers very happy.
In fact, their wages are not much, and most of the materials are used to research and manufacture magic equipment.
Li Xiu withdrew 30% of them, which were gems and magic cores that did not take up space, just for him to use to feed the demon spirits.
After getting everything done, Li Xiu returned to Courtyard No. 7 with the gems and magic core. Boxes of gems of various colors were placed on the table. Under the light, the eyes were almost blinding.
Li Xiu summoned the bride-to-be and the archer of love, and gave them rubies and tanzanites.
It's a pity that there are no cheap items such as black spinels. The Black Death Demon King has nothing to eat for the time being. He can just exchange some for them later. They are cheap. If you just take some sapphires and other things out, you can exchange them for a bunch.
After eating a few tanzanites, the love archer couldn't eat any more, so he had to wait until she had finished digesting them before continuing to feed them.
The bride-to-be didn't even eat the rubies. Her eyes peeped out from the black waterfall-like hair, staring straight at the red wooden box containing the gem sword.
Seeing this, Li Xiu opened the red wooden box, took out the gem sword inside, and handed it to the bride to be married: "What do you want it for?"
The bride-to-be took the gemstone sword and grasped the scabbard with her slender pale fingers.
The next second, Li Xiu saw that the brass scabbard turned into copper powder between the palms of the bride-to-be.
Bang! Bang!
The broken scabbard and hilt fell to the ground, and the inlaid gems also clanked to the ground. There was only a small pile of copper powder left in the hands of the bride-to-be.
When Li Xiu was wondering what the bride-to-be meant, the bride-to-be suddenly lowered her head and blew into her palm.
The copper powder was blown away by the bride-to-be, and underneath the copper powder, a red gem needle was exposed.
The bride-to-be’s other hand pinched the ruby needle in her palm.
Li Xiu was overjoyed. Looking at the ruby needle, he felt hungry in his stomach. The ruby needle turned out to be a demon gem.
When Li Xiu wanted to ask what the ruby needle hidden in the gem sword was for, he saw the bride-to-be put the ruby needle into her mouth. It clicked like a candy cane and she bit the ruby needle into pieces. Swallowed.
Before Li Xiu could figure out what was going on, the bride-to-be had already swallowed the ruby needle.
The next second, the red light rising from the bride-to-be's body was seen, and soon it engulfed the bride-to-be's body like a bonfire.
After waiting for a while, the red flames on the bride-to-be slowly faded, revealing her figure.
It seems that the bride-to-be has not changed much, she still looks like Sadako in red.
The bride-to-be under the starry sky: Demonic spirits can evolve.
Level: S level.
Quality: Aurora.
Talent skill: wedding dress.
Li Xiu sensed the information about the bride to be married and found that she had been promoted to S level, but she still only had one wedding dress as a talent skill.
"This Aurora quality is just a joke. It's already S level, but it hasn't even awakened its second talent skill." Li Xiu was a little helpless.
The bride-to-be is not willing to fight at all, and has no skills. This demon spirit is the worst one Li Xiu has cultivated.
After summoning the bride to be married, Li Xiu summoned the injured Dragon Vein Spirit and placed the boxes of various gems in front of it to see which gem it would like to eat so that it could heal its injuries.
As a result, Longmai Ling just looked at the gems and had no intention of eating them.
"What kind of gem did you eat?" Li Xiu was probably sure that the gem the Dragon Vein Spirit ate was not among the five major gems.
He had no choice but to take the Dragon Vein Spirit back. Li Xiu thought about it and decided to go to the gem market in Changshengtian.
Firstly, they want to exchange some black spinels for the Black Death Demon King, and secondly, they also want to find out which kind of gem the Dragon Vein Spirit eats.
There are also some tanzanites that need to be replaced. That box of tanzanites will definitely not be able to support the Cupid Archer to reach S level.
When he heard that Li Xiu was going to the gem market, Sha Chu was not interested at all. He only told Li Xiu the location of the gem market and had no intention of accompanying him.
Li Xiu had no choice but to go to the gem market alone. When he arrived, he couldn't help but be shocked by the sight in front of him.
In the huge market, there are endless rows of gem stalls, and each stall has boxes of gems of various colors.
Jedi Knight spinels, which are rare to see outside, are sold here in boxes. Each box contains about seventy or eighty spinels, and the spinels in each box are about the same size.
Ruby, sapphire, emerald, all kinds of gemstones are available, and many of them are of quite good quality.
The owner of any small stall can produce several top-quality stones of more than ten carats.
This is just a stall in the market. There are rows of gem shops on both sides of the market, and the gems inside are obviously more high-end.
Compared with the gem market that Li Xiu had seen in Taylor City before, it was basically not much different from a garbage dump.
"The Everlasting Sky is the Everlasting Sky. It is estimated that 80% of the world's gems are concentrated here." Li Xiu saw boxes of diamonds in various colors.
Blue diamonds and red diamonds, which are rare outside, are not uncommon here either.
"If there are enough resources, why worry about Demigod Moment not being able to be promoted to S level." Li Xiu looked at the boxes of blue diamonds and sighed inwardly.
"Director Li." Li Xiu was admiring the gems all over the street when he suddenly heard someone calling him from a stall next to him.
Li Xiu turned around and saw that the person calling him was the owner of the stall, but after looking around for a few times, he realized that he didn't recognize him.
"Hello, Director Li, my name is Sun Tianlei. I am from the Sun family of the four great families. I had the honor to witness your victory over Jingli a few days ago..." The middle-aged man came out from behind the stall, ran to Li Xiu, and said It was such a long opening speech that Li Xiu almost fell asleep.
"Director Li, are you here to buy gems? Come and have a look at my stall. I'll give you a 20% discount." Sun Tianlei pointed to his stall and said.
"Why do people from the Sun family set up a stall here?" Li Xiu took a look at his stall. Although there were many gems, it was no different from the stalls next to it. It was hard to imagine that people from the four families would set up such a stall here. .
Sun Tianlei smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of making fun of you, Mr. Li. The Sun family has been here for thousands of years. There are tens of thousands of direct blood relatives surnamed Sun alone, and there are even more side branches. Some of them are good people." , there are also people like me who are just average. Fortunately, with the name of the Sun family, no matter how bad you are, at least you won't be bullied for no reason."
"It's not bad to have your own business." Li Xiu nodded and followed Sun Tianlei to his stall.
The gemstones at his stall are mainly diamonds, but there are also many other four major gemstones, as well as tourmaline, olive, spinel, aquamarine, etc. There are quite a lot of varieties and the quality is also good.
"Why are there so many diamonds for sale here?" Li Xiu asked with some confusion.
He looked at so many stalls, and almost every stall had a large number of diamonds.
Seemingly seeing through Li Xiu's mind, Sun Tianlei said with a smile: "Actually, the reserves of diamonds are very huge. The diamond mines discovered so far are enough to be mined for hundreds of thousands of years. The reason why you feel that diamonds are very expensive outside is because they are extremely expensive." Most of the diamond mines are controlled by Changshengtian, and most of the diamonds mined are transported to Changshengtian."
"I see." Li Xiu probably guessed the reason.
"Director Li, if you like diamonds, I happen to have one that's at the bottom of the box. Why don't you take a look first?" Sun Tianlei said without waiting for Li Xiu's consent, and carefully took out a small cloth bag from his arms. , after opening the small cloth bag, a pink diamond poured out.
"Is this... the Argyle pink diamond?" Li Xiu originally wanted to say that he didn't plan to buy diamonds, but when he saw the pink diamond that Sun Tianlei poured out, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The Argyle Pink Diamond's status among pink diamonds is like the status of the Namiya Jedi Knight among red spinels. They are both synonymous with the best.
The largest pink diamond in the world was dug out of the Argyle Mine in the ancient country of Australia. It weighed 12.76 carats and was known as the Fancy Boy Pink Diamond.
In the old world, many wealthy people rushed to buy the pink diamonds from the Argyle mine. Later, the Argyle mine was closed, and the holding price of Argyle pink diamonds also skyrocketed.
Having a diamond certificate from Argyll can significantly increase the value of a pink diamond.
The pink diamond in Sun Tianlei's hand is as dreamy as a girl's. It is a standard diamond cut. Although it is not as big as the largest pink diamond, it is still seven or eight carats in size. Among Argyle pink diamonds, this is already quite large. Big.
While outside, Li Xiu remembered watching an auction of an Argyle pink diamond. The Argyle pink diamond, which was less than six carats, sold for a sky-high price of five million space coins per carat. Six carats That's 30 million, which is enough for Li Xiu to build a demon arena.
Sun Tianlei's Argyle pink diamond is larger than the one Li Xiu saw at the auction before, and its color and clarity are not inferior to that one.
The value of such an Argyle pink diamond is immeasurable. Even in a place like Changshengtian where gems are everywhere, it is estimated to be sold for a sky-high price, at least tens of millions of space coins.
The reason why Li Xiu paid so much attention to it was not because of the high value of the Argyle Pink Diamond, but because when he saw it, Li Xiu felt a strong sense of hunger in his belly.
This Argyle Pink Diamond is a demon gemstone.
"Director Li, this is my most valuable item. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the purpose of buying a magic spirit for my son, I would not be willing to sell it at all. This is not what those diamond companies have recently The things that are mined in batches are old goods dug out from the ruins of Gubao in Australia. The owner of the ancient castle was originally a big noble..." Sun Tianlei told the origin of the Argyle Pink Diamond.
In fact, he didn't know much about it. He only knew that it was dug out from the old castle by a group of gem hunters. As for the origin of the owner of the old castle, he was only half-guessed.
"I didn't expect Director Li to be interested in listening to stories here." Li Xiu was listening with interest when he suddenly heard a familiar and annoying voice coming from behind him.
