Marine fishermen rely on luck to make a living. No one knows what they will gain when they go out today. More or less depends on their fate.
Ning Zhishui didn't know what their harvests were in the past, but as far as today was concerned, it was really not that good.
"Eighth-grade sea pearl, 30 crystal stones."
"Emerald-mouthed clam, damaged, 10 crystal stones."
"Whirlpool snail, 25 crystal stones."
The waiter skillfully held the items in the basket and quoted the price for each item he picked up.
Jiaqing watched intently, and could only see the fluctuation in her eyes when she heard the price.
Ning Zhishui frowned as he watched——
The price reduction is really cruel.
For example, the eighth-grade sea pearl must be sold at least 50 crystals in the store, but only 30 is given when receiving the goods.
However, the industry rules are like this, and the charging price and selling price are naturally very different. The store has operating costs, and if the goods cannot be sold, they bear the risk.
For fishermen, life is one day at a time, and no one knows which day they will encounter an unmanageable monster in the sea and die.
Therefore, if you have something, sell it on the same day. The crystal stones sold belong to you, and the goods cannot be overstocked.
Ning Zhishui knew this, so even though he thought the price was low, he didn't interrupt.
Until she heard the words "whirlpool conch".
"Wait."
Seeing that the waiter was about to put away the conch, Ning Zhishui quickly held down the waiter's hand and buckled it onto the table.
"what are you doing?"
The clerk yelled, thinking that the man was trying to steal the goods.
Hua Zhaoxing and Jiaqing both looked at Ning Zhishui in confusion, and even several other fishermen also looked over.
The three of them were settling the price with other clerks. They didn't know what was happening here, so they only heard the clerk's screams.
"This is not a swirling water snail." Ning Zhishui let go of his hand and pointed at it, "This is a blue-striped cat's eye snail."
When the words "Blue-striped Cat's Eye Snail" were spoken, everyone in the store who heard the name looked over.
Jiaqing was stunned, looking at Ning Zhishui in confusion, and then at the snail, feeling a little confused.
Hua Zhaoxing is similar.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Ning, this is indeed a whirlpool snail. Look, it's blue and has whirlpools." He hurriedly told Ning Zhishui.
Jiaqing also nodded beside her.
"Although they are similar, they are not the same thing. The swirling water snail is more pointed and the wall is thicker... Man, you must have other swirling water snails here, why not compare them." Ning Zhishui said.
The clerk had a doubtful look on his face, but seeing that she was so sure, he still did as he was told. While taking it, he said, "You must have admitted your mistake, but if you want to see it, I will give you a comparison."
Xuan Shui Luo knew that this was not a high-end product just by looking at the price, and there were naturally many of them in the store.
After the guy took it out, he put it together with Jiaqing's.
"Huh...it seems a little different?"
Seen individually, they seem to be the same, but when you compare the two, you will find that there is indeed a very small difference.
The most obvious thing is that the real whirlpool snail is more pointed and a bit prickly to the touch, but the other one looks rounder.
"Look at the pattern on it. The real swirling water snail is pure blue, but the Jiaqing one is a little yellowish in the middle." Ning Zhishui pointed out the difference between the two, "So this is the blue-striped cat's eye snail."
When it comes to eyesight, no one is better than an alchemist. Their powers of observation and memory are even better than those of an alchemist.
Because there are far more materials used for refining weapons than for elixirs, and many of them are very similar. It all depends on the good eyesight of the weapon refiner to distinguish the varieties and their advantages and disadvantages.
Not to mention that Ning Zhishui was not only an alchemist and weapon refiner, but also a leader among them.
Even if there is a slight difference, she can still see it.
Like the transparent jade silk, Ning Zhishui had never seen it before it became transparent in his previous life, but because he knew its characteristics well, he recognized it the moment he saw it.
Ning Zhishui was sure. When others heard it, they opened their eyes wide and tried hard to find the difference between the two. After searching and searching, they vaguely felt that there seemed to be a slight difference...
After staring at it for so long, my eyes were dazzled!
The patterns on it are so dense that comparing them over and over again makes my brain turn to mush!
"How could it be a blue-striped cat's eye snail... That is the noble among conches. We in Yuge City can't catch a few a year." A fisherman said in disbelief.
"That's right, blue-striped cat's-eye snails are not very common in our waters. My grandma has been a fisherman all her life and has only seen them once."
"Is she talking nonsense? She is not a fisherman at first glance. How can she know better than us?"
Ning Zhishui looked fair and fair, and her skin was obviously different from that of a fisherman. She even didn't look like a local.
At such an age and status, everyone couldn't believe what she said.
"Shopkeeper, look..."
The clerk was not sure, so he wanted to go to the shopkeeper holding the blue-striped cat's eye snail.
But Ning Zhishui snatched the blue-striped cat's-eye snail directly, and when the waiter glared at it, he said, "It's too valuable, so we should keep it ourselves."
With that said, he handed it back to Jia Qing.
Jiaqing didn't know whether it was true or not, but she still subconsciously held the blue-striped cat's eye snail in her hands, as if she was holding some rare treasure.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it always feels so heavy in my hands that I can barely hold it in my hands.
The blue-striped cat's-eye snail... Jiaqing had heard of its name a long time ago, but had no chance to see it.
But this does not prevent her from knowing its price. If this is really a blue-striped cat's eye snail, then it is worth at least tens of thousands of crystals!
The wall of this kind of snail is ground into powder, which is an excellent material for refining. I heard that the main ingredient of Virtual Realm is made from it!
Ordinary Qiankun Space is just an area, but the Virtual Realm is different. It can be simply understood as a large palace that can be folded and stored!
Living things cannot enter the universe space, but the virtual realm can!
However, because the main materials are rare and the level of weapon refiners is extremely high, the number of virtual realms in the world can be counted with both hands and feet, and almost all of them are in the hands of the top aristocratic sects.
As for the price, it is really priceless, because no matter how much it costs, someone will be willing to buy it. The problem is that no one is willing to sell it!
A rough estimate is that selling hundreds of thousands or millions of crystals is not a problem at all!
If this is really a blue-striped cat's eye snail... Jiaqing swallowed and her eyes went straight.
Ning Zhishui had been watching her expression, and couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
This was probably the most expressive moment she had ever seen Jia Qing.
Sure enough, only crystal stones could arouse her excitement and make her mood fluctuate.
The shopkeeper was originally introducing new products to an old customer and didn't care about the business, but now he can't stand still.
He ran over with his fat body, "This little friend, can you let me take a look?"
He asked about Jiaqing. (End of chapter)
