It's a palm-sized, cylindrical piece of black wood, or more precisely, a black totemic pillar.

Li Shaoyang picked up this piece of black wood and looked at it carefully, there were strange patterns and hieroglyphs carved around it, as well as terrifying skulls, poisonous snakes, and totems of desert scorpions.

The wood is smooth and very heavy, I don't know what material is used.

He held out his finger to check.

Blackwood Totem.

Quality +0.

Valuation: Grade A.

Ability Assessment: African Wizard Sacrificial Staff.

Upgrade success rate: 42.1%.

Damn, I worked hard and spent $150,000 to buy a garbage with only A-grade value, Li Shaoyang almost scolded.

The sacrificial staff of the great wizard of Africa? Does this thing look like a staff?

He touched the black wood totem, only to find that there were gaps at the bottom and top, and it turned out that this was only one of them, not a complete treasure.

However, because it only has A-level value, the success rate of upgrading is not low.

It's a pity that there are no lucky crystals now.

Li Shaoyang thought about it, and then looked at the pile of Egyptian gold coins, which were more valuable things in the box.

He found a broken gold coin in the worst condition, with tooth marks and chips in the middle, and chose to upgrade and scrap it.

Not bad, got more than 10 grade 1 crystals.

Li Shaoyang used these crystals to upgrade the black wood totem in his hand. The good-looking novel is in the black = rock = cabinet

"Congratulations to the host, the upgrade was successful!"

With this pleasant hint, the black wood totem in Li Shaoyang's hand was shrouded in golden light, and then a half-human-high staff appeared in his hand.

Wow! Such a handsome staff, if it was in the game, Li Shaoyang would probably have to wield it and release a dark curse or something.

It's a pity that in reality, no matter how handsome this thing is, it's just a piece of wood.

The top of the staff is fixed with a curved structure in the shape of a sheep's horn, and the whole body is made of black wood, and the square is inlaid with a black stone.

Re-identification.

Blackwood Totem Staff, Quality +1, Value Assessment SSS+......

This is not bad, it is finally an SSS+-level treasure, Li Shaoyang played with it for a while, then put it aside, and then studied the iron box.

The iron box was already empty, Li Shaoyang directly chose to scrap it, and sure enough, the success rate increased by 0.4. Today it's 2.5 liters.

He took out his mobile phone, laid out the 25 Egyptian gold coins, took all the photos, and took pictures of the black wood totem, asked Nuwa to log in to the Borderlands, put the photos and descriptions in the auction hall, and posted a posting for sale.

Each coin is priced at $10,000, and the Black Wood's totem staff is auctioned from $200,000.

Calculated that this iron box was auctioned for 150,000 US dollars, plus the cost of the eighth sister to transport it back to Xiangjiang, it would take at least 200,000 US dollars to recover the capital, so the price set by Li Shaoyang was very high.

He waited for a reply from the Borderlands, and sat down to study the sackcloth.

Linen from King Solomon's Treasure...... But although the cloth is rough, it has traces of artificial weaving. Remember King Solomon was a figure around 900 B.C., and he had such elaborate weaving skills at that time?

"Nuwa, query keyword, linen, weaving technology, Solomonic ......"

Nuwa replied instantly: "No relevant information was found." ”

"Search again, sack, crusade ......"

"Discovery information, the Shroud of Turin, also known as the Martyrdom of Jesus......"

Nuwa called up a lot of information.

Li Shaoyang corresponded to the picture and found that it was really a bit similar, could it be that the shroud in his hand was the martyrdom of Jesus? What's going on.

He soon understood that the Crusader soldiers must have opened the tin box and wrapped the cloth in the totem pole and put it in, and that only the gold coins were the treasures left by King Solomon, and the others were from Jerusalem.

Li Shaoyang became interested and stretched out his hand to identify it.

Linen, quality +0.

Valuation: Not identified.

Competency Assessment: Not Qualified.

It cannot be upgraded, and the host needs to be upgraded to +7 and obtain the skill "Identification Technique" before this treasure can be identified.

Reach level 7...... I'm just +3 now, and the success rate of this upgrade is horribly low.

It's not possible for the time being, but it can be seen from this hint that the inconspicuous linen cloth in his hand is definitely a super treasure that surpasses the Black Wood Totem.

Li Shaoyang put away the sackcloth, and Nuwa prompted: "Administrator, I have received 12 replies from the Borderlands website so far. ”

"Open them all." Li Shaoyang opened a bottle of beer and happily looked at the replies one by one.

All of them are interested in his gold coins, and there are two gold coin collectors who have already offered a price of $20,000 each.

Li Shaoyang saw it, chose the one with a higher level, chatted privately for a while, and then completed the transaction happily.

The entire transaction was $500,000, of which $20,000 was the handling fee charged by Borderlands, and the remaining $480,000 was transferred to Li Shaoyang's account.

Refreshing! It's not a lot of money, but it's the first money you've ever made in the Borderlands, and it's all back to buy the Iron Box.

After completing this order, he waited with some anticrative expectation for news of the totem staff.

Although this thing is not as valuable as gold coins, if you meet someone who knows the goods, you may be able to make a lot of money......

Unfortunately, until the next day, no one was interested.

Li Shaoyang waited all night, very disappointed, seeing that the air outside was good, he came to the middle basin of the top of the mountain, where a fertile grassland was green, and it was as beautiful as an oil painting in the early morning clouds.

"In the future, maybe you can cultivate here, well, build a medicine field." Li Shaoyang muttered: "Ah Qiang can find a lot of medicinal seedlings over there, if they can be cultivated here, it will be a wonderful thing." ”

Just as he was thinking about this plan, Nuwa's prompt came from the receiver in his ear: "Borderlands website, 1 important reply, the reply is a level 9 premium account!" ”

Borderlands level 9 account ...... The site is no more than 10 levels high.

Li Shaoyang excitedly rushed back to the stone house and ordered Nuwa to open the chat interface.

This level 9 account uses anonymous messages, and his nickname cannot be seen, but because of the suppression of level authority, Li Shaoyang's account and nickname can be seen clearly by the other party.

"Hello Night Raven, I'm interested in your goods, but before that, can you take a picture of the text on the surface of this totem pole, and also, you can rotate the black stone at the bottom, if you can open the totem's mechanism, take a picture of the inside. You can rest assured that if this item is the treasure we are looking for, we will give you a satisfactory and perfect price. ”

Seeing the message sent by the other party, Li Shaoyang picked up the totem pole, carefully photographed the text on the surface of the totem pole, and then asked Nuwa to combine these pictures into a complete big picture.

Then he pressed down on the bottom of the totemic staff and tried to turn the black stone set on it.

The black stone was actually turned, and immediately, the middle part of the totem pole opened, revealing a skull.

Li Shaoyang was startled, this was a complete skull, but it was jet black, which was very terrifying.

What the fuck is this, Li Shaoyang frowned and took a photo, and sent it to each other together.

After about 1 hour, the other party sent a message: "God, I finally found it, this is the treasure we are looking for, Mr. Night Raven, you can cancel the auction, we want this treasure." ”

"Make an offer." Li Shaoyang turned the black stone and restored the totem pole to its original state.

"We can provide $50 million worth of arms, including a Poseidon-class long-range cruiser missile......" The other party's reply made Li Shaoyang cry and laugh.

"I'm sorry, I just need cash."

Half an hour later, he replied, "We can't get enough cash for the time being, can we get diamonds?" A total of 3,000 carats of uncut diamonds. ”

Li Shaoyang gasped, and the other party had already sent a high-definition diamond picture.

Uncut, perfectly pure, crystal clear diamond.

Li Shaoyang had already seen diamonds many times, and he had scrapped a box with his own hands, but those were all small particles, and at most 10 carats of goods. The original diamond shown in the picture is only based on the size, and the smallest is 50 carats.

Diamonds are of the same purity, and the larger the carat, the higher the value.

"Mr. Night Raven, we can also provide free diamond cutting services in Mumbai, India, if these diamonds are cut, you can make tens of millions of dollars by selling them, I don't know if you are satisfied."

Satisfied, of course satisfied, and Li Shaoyang will not cut it, it will definitely be scrapped, these diamonds have become piles of lucky crystals in his eyes, and the success rate of upgrades has increased.

But the deal is still unknown. Although it is a level 9 account, such a large transaction volume cannot guarantee security.

"Can you tell me why you bought this totem?" Li Shaoyang thought about it, but still asked this key question.

"We're just an intermediary agent, representing some of our clients in the Borderlands, but given the peculiarities of this transaction, I can reveal a little bit that our client is a tribal leader in Sierra Leone and the largest tribal chief in West Africa, and this totem is a sacred relic of their tribe from 3,000 years ago, and the totem contains the skull of the most powerful shaman in West Africa. That's the real treasure. ”

Li Shaoyang suddenly realized that Sierra Leone is one of the poorest regions in Africa and even the world, and the war that lasted from 96 to 02 almost destroyed this place into ruins, and it was not until 14 years that the region slowly returned to stability.

Speaking of Sierra Leone, the most famous thing is not the war, but the diamonds there, which has been described in detail in the Hollywood movie "Blood Diamond".

"So how do we trade?" Li Shaoyang asked.

"We will choose a professional mercenary to carry the diamond to trade with you in person, it must be in person, and we will have two experts on hand to personally identify it, so that the transaction can be finalized."

"You can ......," Li Shaoyang pondered: "But the place of trading must be chosen by me." ”

He replied slowly: "Xiangjiang, it's best to trade here." ”

As the former financial center of Asia, Xiangjiang was once a place where intelligence agents from various countries and various forces from all over the world mingled. So the other party readily agreed.
