Chapter 14: Selling Pearls
The sky is slightly bright, and the Skyrim Continent comes into view.
At noon, the boat arrived on the shore.
Seeing that someone was checking the ticket, Lin Chun quietly ran to the back of the boat and jumped off
During the day, Lin Chun didn't dare to fly in the sky openly, in case he was beaten down from the sky by a birdman.
Lin Chun went ashore to collect firewood and dried the wet dress.
On the periphery of Zisang Ling, looking at the 20-meter-high city wall, enclosing the entire Zisang Ling, Lin Chun sighed incomparably, how much manpower and material resources it takes, in this society under the productivity, it can be called a miracle.
There is a mysterious power in this world, and the strength of the individual can surpass the strength of the group.
Where does personal strength come from?
Resource!
Where do the resources come from?
Exploitation from the weak.
In a world where individual strength is paramount, the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker, a vicious circle that leads to a general low productivity in this world.
Even though there are countless resources in this world, greedy human nature is still unwilling to share with others.
Even if a group of strong people unite to be stronger, they will only wish they were the strongest one.
The entrance to the city wall was guarded by some soldiers, but not to verify their identity, but to collect taxes and duties.
In this world, although the strength of the human race is not weak, it cannot surpass all the populations.
It is precisely because of the existence of threats that the human race can not fight in the nest, even if it can't be like a family, but at least they will sweep the snow in front of each other, and will not frame others, so there is no need to verify their identity.
Lin Chun has a lot of valuable things.
For example, pearls and corals in the sea are all within reach of Lin Chun.
The bottom of the sea is extremely dangerous for the human race, so pearls and corals are very valuable in this world.
But the wealth is not exposed, there is no big mistake in being careful, and it is not cost-effective to expose yourself for a tariff.
Lin Chun decided to 'smuggle out'.
Anyway, it's not a matter of once or twice, as the saying goes, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and the disadvantages of individual strength overriding group strength appear here.
The wooden houses in the city are uneven, some are luxurious and exquisite, some can only shelter from the wind and rain, some are full of red faces, and some are yellow and thin.
Seeing such a scene with his own eyes, Lin Chun's shock was still quite great.
Maybe it was the heart attack of the Virgin, Lin Chun germinated a kind of help to take them out of poverty and make a fortune, but did he help one person, two people, ten people, a hundred, a thousand people?
The small flame in the heart of Our Lady of Lin Chun was immediately extinguished.
Finding a pawnshop, Lin Chun walked in, and a half-sized man dozed off at the counter.
"Where's the shopkeeper?"
Lin Chun's index finger and middle finger of his right hand merged and gently knocked on the counter.
"Ahh ”
The half-sized man raised his head and wiped the saliva from his mouth with his sleeve, and when he opened his eyes, he was startled to see a stranger.
It wasn't until he realized that the business had come to the door that he smiled and said respectfully: "Childe, what do you want to be?"
Judging from the eyesight of the dog who has lived here for 15 years, the person in front of him, his clothes are a little twisted and unclean, but the material is the best silk, his eyes are sharp, his temperament is elegant, mature and calm, and he is confident, and it is definitely a big business.
"Where's your shopkeeper?" Lin Chun asked again.
"What about me, what about me. Our shopkeeper is not here, and I have full authority to represent the shopkeeper. Gou Yu said, and added in his heart, "Anyway, the pawnshop will be mine in the future." ”
"Are you sure?" asked Lin Chun suspiciously.
"Hehe, Childe, what I said is true, I have been here for 15 years, and I have already developed a pair of fiery eyes, which can definitely help you accurately identify items, or give the most fair price. ”
Gou Yu pointed to his eyes and said.
"Ha, well, I'll trust you, I hope you won't let me down. What's your name?" Lin Chun asked, then took out a 10CM pearl from his pocket.
This pearl was fished up from the sea by the way when Lin Chun went ashore.
"Okay, I won't let you down. My name is Gou Yu, and the owner helped me get it, and because of my cleverness, I was sold here to work. Gou Yu said without hesitation, but was complacent.
Rather than dealing with nobles, Lin Chun prefers to deal with this kind of sincere and braggart commoners.
"This, isn't this the legendary pearl?"
Gou Yu said very excitedly, carefully put the pearl on a piece of yellow cloth, and kept observing it with a magnifying glass.
"Dog, you didn't have my consent to help the guests palm, in case you smashed my signboard of the Hundred Refining Fire Eye, you can afford it. ”
A thin old man suddenly appeared behind the dog and slapped the dog on the head hard.
"Ah, it hurts. ”
The dog left his left hand to cover his head, and his right hand protected the pearl, and it was rare that he did not scare the old man.
Instead, he hurriedly said: "Boss, boss, come and see if this is a pearl." Legendary pearls. ”
Lin Chun was speechless, although he had already guessed that the pearl was not cheap, but he had not guessed how high its value was.
Hearing the words of the dog, the old man dragged the dog's leftovers away, took the magnifying glass in his hand and observed.
"Didn't you just say that the shopkeeper wasn't there?" Lin Chun asked as he looked at the dog left.
Gou Yu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said in a slurred manner: "Just... Just now... That one... The shopkeeper's... No, he's only coming back now. ”
The more the dog leftovers, the more he finds an excuse, and is convinced that it is true.
"It's perfect, this pearl, it's so beautiful. The old man stared at the pearl and said intoxicatedly.
"This pearl is much bigger and more beautiful than the one I saw 20 years ago. ”
The old man raised his head, looked at Lin Chun and asked, "Young man, this pearl is yours?"
"It's mine, how much are you going to charge?"
Lin Chun said lightly.
"What, what? You want to sell such a perfect pearl. ”
The old man originally thought that Lin Chun was just used for identification, and it would be good if he could palm his eyes, but he didn't expect that someone would want to sell it, and suddenly a stupid and rich gaze looked at Lin Chun.
"3 pieces of purple gold. The old man bowed his head and pondered for a while.
"5 pieces of purple gold. Lin Chun doesn't know the market price, but it's right to say that it's higher.
"Young man, three pieces of purple gold is not low, enough to buy a good house. ”
The old man stared at Lin Chundao unyieldingly.
"5 pieces of purple gold. "At this time, the loser does not lose.
"You know, in this Sang Daling, I have the ability to accept your pearl, and I will have to drink the northwest wind for several years after that. The old man said stubbornly.
After a period of fierce bargaining, Lin Chun sold it to the thin old man for 3 pieces of purple gold and 5 pieces of red gold.
By the time he walked out of the pawnshop, he was already a proper little rich man.
