Chapter Ninety-Five: 20 Ancient Books
This red attic is resplendent in gold and has a huge space, and the stone carvings of two antelopes are placed on the left and right, as if they want to come to life and gallop on the grassland. There is also a large blue and white tank with several goldfish of different colors frolicking.
The design is very atmospheric on the whole, but from some details, it reflects a unique style.
After a general examination of the decoration of the attic, all of a sudden, Jiang Wenhe only felt a quiet fragrance coming to his face, this fragrance was very peculiar, it was not a fragrance, but a feeling, a kind of abrupt feeling of leisurely seeing Nanshan.
Jiang Wenhe had never smelled such a magical fragrance, so he couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath, as if he was a little intoxicated.
This kind of fragrance seems to have a refreshing job, and in just a moment, Jiang Wenhe feels that he is in excellent condition.
Jiang Wenhe looked at it at a glance and saw that in the middle of the hall, there was a golden incense burner, about a meter high, standing on the marble floor with four feet, and wisps of invisible light smoke drifted into the air, and then spread them to the entire attic.
With a hint of doubt, Jiang Wenhe opened his attribute panel, and in the personal status bar, there was an additional status effect.
"Refresh the mind: Smelling the fragrance of the god flower can refresh people's spirits, remove certain fatigue, and at the same time dissolve ecstasy and other effects, with a remaining duration of 10 minutes."
It's like a constant buff, like in the game. Nurses and supporters who can add various buffs to others.
The boss of this strange world is indeed wealthy, such a good thing. It was placed in the hall for anyone who could enter it.
After sighing, Jiang Wenhe looked away again.
This loft is divided into the north, west, and east areas, each with different functions.
In the west area of the attic, there are many counters with strange things, 90 percent of the items. He hadn't even seen it.
At each counter, a young woman in a cheongsam stood with a kind smile on her face.
Not many people patronize these counters. But you can also see how extraordinary they are from the way they dress.
The east side of the attic is more interesting, he is not as formal as the west side, very disciplined, but rather messy.
Because the East End is both a buyer and a seller. There are quite a few people.
It's very easy for those sellers to do business. He set up a stall on the spot, and then sat on a small stool, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things on the carpet, and the sharp-eyed Jiang Wenhe even found a strangely colored glass ball from it.
And those buyers are like watching the lights, casually walking around, and when they meet some who are interested, they stop to communicate with the seller for a word or two.
In the North District, it is a bit deserted, with only four counters. And behind each counter sat a white-haired old man, on the counter. There is also a sign.
From left to right: porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous.
Jiang Wenhe thought about it for a while, and he knew what these four old men did, probably to do some antique appraisals, and each person was responsible for the field they were good at.
He still remembered that he once bought a piece of jade at a stall, and originally wanted to let the four treasure masters appraise it, but if there was really anything special about this jade and it attracted the attention of someone who cares, it was very likely that he would ask for trouble.
So Jiang Wenhe held back, at least when his strength was insufficient, he was still low-key.
In fact, according to the information revealed by the Strange Things World so far, it seems that it is still a little lacking in characteristics, of course, it may be because Jiang Wenhe is here for the first time, so he still knows too little.
"After I go back, wait for Brother Haoyu to ask about the situation of the Strange World, this place should not be so simple." Jiang Wenhe thought silently in his heart.
At this moment, a classical beauty wearing a cheongsam walked in front of Jiang Wenhe, gave a deep salute, and her movements were elegant to the extreme.
"This guest, my name is Coco, what can I serve you?" Her voice was so sweet that it made your bones sour.
Looking at the young boy in front of him, Coco was still quite surprised, and he was also wearing a school uniform, which was a little out of place with the attic environment.
However, as long as you can enter the world of strange things, no one is simple, and Coco knows that she just needs to remember this sentence firmly.
And Jiang Wenhe was worried that he couldn't find anyone to ask, but someone came to the door, which saved him trouble.
"Hello, I would like to ask, where can I find items related to the classification of books?" After thinking for a while, Jiang Wenhe added: "The longer the history, the better." β
"Is there an item about books, then you can look for it in the West End miscellaneous category, it should give you something to gain." Coco stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the West District, and then said, "If you want to find it in a private stall, then you can go to the East District, but because they are all private stalls, you need to find what you want by yourself." β
Jiang Wenhe nodded and said, "Thank you." Then he thought for a moment, took out a tip of five hundred yuan and handed it to Coco.
Looking at Coco's somewhat happy face, Jiang Wenhe knew that five hundred yuan should not be too little.
However, after Coco accepted the tip of 500 yuan, he insisted on taking Jiang Wenhe to the Western District in person.
Under the enthusiasm, Jiang Wenhe did not refuse, and let her take herself.
The attic was huge, so the two of them walked for a long time before they came to an area specializing in miscellaneous antiques.
But luckily, inside the miscellaneous section, there is a counter dedicated to selling all kinds of old books, which are so dazzling that people can't even look at them.
After Coco brought Jiang Wenhe here, he went to greet the other guests.
Jiang Wenhe stayed alone and looked around at the counter.
Through the glass of the counter, he was able to see the damage to the books, or the ancient Cheng dΓΉ.
It's just that he swept the price on it at a glance, but it made Jiang Wenhe secretly smack his tongue in his heart.
The cheapest book starts at $6,000! That's the equivalent of two months' earnings for an average worker.
And most importantly, some of these books are completely useless, that is, they are scribbled, but after a long time, and they can't understand the content of the book, they will have an unfathomable illusion.
And these books are not allowed to be read, if you want to buy them, don't mention them, if you want to read a page or two, it is absolutely not allowed.
But Jiang Wenhe doesn't care about these things, as long as the talent tree can absorb it, he doesn't care what is written in your book, it has to be useful.
The cheapest one costs six thousand, the ordinary one costs ten thousand, and the most expensive one costs forty or fifty thousand!
However, there are advantages to being expensive, because some of these expensive books are truly unique, and it is not a big problem to sell them for tens or even millions, but this situation rarely happens.
Under the gaze of the service staff's 'gentle' eyes, Jiang Wenhe began to choose.
In fact, when it comes to selection, that is, it is very intuitive to judge with your eyes, to see which books are older, more worn, or more quaint, or the text on the cover is more quaint, and you can only judge by the appearance.
After about ten minutes of selection, Jiang Wenhe decisively spent 400,000 yuan completely, but in exchange for 20 ancient books.
One of the most expensive books is worth 130,000 yuan, accounting for almost one-third of the value.
And the remaining nineteen books, the cheapest one has reached 10,000, and Jiang Wenhe is also spending money like this for the first time, and the feeling is really indescribable.
Let's say it's distressed, it's true that there is a little bit, but there is that kind of pleasure of spending a lot of money, and there is a tendency to be a little unable to extricate myself.
The bank card I just handled today, in less than a few hours, the 400,000 yuan in the card has been almost swiped, and only a fraction of a few thousand yuan is left.
It's just that these ancient books don't know if it's enough to increase the level of the talent tree.
With a hint of trepidation in his heart, he didn't plan to leave, because he planned to go to the East End.
Just when he had just approached the Eastern District, strange feelings continued to rise from his heart, making Jiang Wenhe very uncomfortable.
I also experienced this feeling when I bought jade, but this time the feeling was even stronger, and there were many Dao, and it was obvious that there were many things that the talent tree needed here.
But it's a pity that Jiang Wenhe has completely run out of money, although these things are all stalls, it doesn't mean that his price is cheap! It's even a lot more expensive than something in the West End.
In desperation, Jiang Wenhe had no choice but to give up and wait for the next opportunity to come over.
At this time, he was already planning to leave the world of strange things and return home to improve the progress of the talent tree.
Jiang Wenhe was carrying a small box, which contained twenty ancient books.
Just as he walked to the gate, the classical beauty Coco, who had served him before, ran over in a hurry at this time.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
Jiang Wenhe stopped and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong?" β
Coco glanced at the small box in Jiang Wenhe's hand, and said sweetly: "It seems that you have bought the items you need, in fact, the thing is like this, next month we will hold a treasure appreciation meeting in the world of strange things, notify you in advance, I hope you can enjoy your face at that time." β
Jiang Wenhe thought about it for a while, and in a month, he should be able to get Li Xianmin's three million, and then he can come and see if there is anything he needs.
Therefore, Jiang Wenhe also nodded and said, "Okay, if there is time then, I will come over." β
Coco smiled sweetly and nodded.
Then Jiang Wenhe left the world of strange things. (To be continued......)
