Chapter 18: It's a Trap, But You'll Have to Drill It Yourself

It may be the credit of Hu Si's gold leaf.

Early the next morning, a very eye-catching bulletin board was placed in the most conspicuous position in the lobby.

The main color of the billboard is earthy yellow, and then a slightly darker color outlines the stone patterns.

In it, a few large characters are written in a concave Caiyun font - 'Tracing the Footprints of History', which makes the whole notice full of a dignified and classical atmosphere.

At the bottom is a simple two-line small letter: "Ice Blue Historical Precipitation Research Society Collection Exhibition" and "Only cultural figures are invited to participate", and there are many invitations next to it.

There are no pictorial captions, and there is no writing about what exactly is shown, but because of this, it has aroused the curiosity of many people.

As soon as people have money, they like to pay attention to taste, and the attraction of the three words in the cultural world is not small.

"There are so many fools..."

Ma Ping'an smiled and glanced at it a few times, commanded a few rhinos, and pushed two thick luggage carts from the back door to the venue on the left side of the lobby.

Along the wall, small platforms of different heights were erected, and delicate crystal boxes were placed on the azure velvet cloth in a staggered manner, and under the dazzling shadow of the spotlights, there were large stones that were washed and peeled clean.

On each box, there is a beautiful card, press the button, and a holographic image will appear in front of the card.

The cards show landscapes from all over the world, all of which are well documented, but almost without exception, these places are all desolate and treacherous places infested with mutated beasts.

The hologram is an introduction to these places, including geographical evolution and so on.

Best of all, at the end, there will be subtitles rolling out, describing the origin of these stones in detail.

For example, there is a red stone that seems to have rolled in pig's blood and has two small pits on the surface:

Bolivian Flame Stone

Formed by the eruption of the Bolivian volcano and buried underground for 150 million years, it is said that the stone has the eyes of the Bolivian Flame God, so it is also called the blessing of the Flame God.

Discovered in 4073 AD, a total of seven brave adventurers lost their young and precious lives to it.

Collected by the Ice Blue Historical Precipitation Research Society in 4076

There is also a white pebble that is introduced in front of it.

Arctic Snow Stone

As we all know, there is no land in the Arctic, so in legend, the snow stone is a fossil of 10,000 years of ice and snow, which is extremely rare.

It is said that in 2971 it was in the collection of the British Museum, and then disappeared.

Discovered in 4081 AD in the ruins of the suburbs of London, it is the only piece found in the world so far.

Ice Blue Historical Precipitation Research Association 4082 Collection

And so on, every stone has a moving story to tell.

Naturally, words such as 'legend' and 'supposed' abound in these stories, but the clever wording does not seem to affect the credibility of the story at all, but adds a kind of rigor due to uncertainty.

After a busy day, everything was finally arranged, Ma Ping'an clapped his hands, took two steps back to the center of the venue, and looked at his works with a smile.

Beside them, the three rhinoceros were full of surprise, and they couldn't imagine how the empty box they bought yesterday could be loaded with these seemingly precious things today.

Ma Ping'an pulled the three of them out of the back door again, and in a few hours, the sheep slaughtering meeting was about to begin.

At 8:00 p.m., the door of the venue opened, and Sisi smiled and removed a red flannel from the bronze plaque at the door.

'Ice Blue Historical Precipitation Research Society Collection Exhibition'.

Hu Si was dressed in a snow-white dress, standing at the door, and it didn't take long for a lot of people to come, and in less than half an hour, there were no less than fifty people standing in the venue.

The security guards hired from the hotel stood at the corners of the venue, and their vigilant expressions made people feel the preciousness of the exhibits.

Compared with the boring ancient numismatic exhibition a few days ago, such an illustrated exhibition form made everyone feel very fresh, and many people had already squatted in front of the stones to appreciate it carefully.

Of course, there are also good eyes: "... This one looks like an ordinary marble to me..."

But he will be despised by others immediately: "Cut, no culture, right?" Take a look at the introduction above, this is Siberian cedar...

The pattern on it is cedar, do you know the cedar? ”

The man looked timid, and immediately nodded: "You know, the cedar of Siberia, who doesn't know this...

Tut-tut, I say, how can marble have such a delicate pattern..."

Actually, the stone is just a black ore with some cracks on it...

Of course, these 'precious exhibits' are all marked with the three big words 'not for sale', which makes these rich owners who are always on guard against being hoodwinked feel safe.

Ma Ping'an was mixed in the crowd, but his eyes kept on the door.

After a while, I saw the fat man and Tanaka walking in yesterday, Sisi greeted them with a smile, and took them to visit after a few greetings, chatting with them while walking.

In front of beautiful girls, men are always peacocks whose heads are eager to show off their beautiful feathers.

After a while, Sisi made the origin of the fat man clear.

The fat man's name is Liu Luting, and he is a Z person.

For the first half of his life, he was busy getting promoted and making a fortune, so he didn't get married until he was in his forties.

Now that he has served as the vice president of the New Magic Alliance Shallow Sea Transportation Group, it is said that there is a chance to be promoted to president soon, so he feels quite successful, and he is confident that he is also a man at the level of the 'Diamond King Old Five', so his heart is itching.

But as soon as I feel good, my vision is naturally high, and I haven't negotiated a few objects, of course, whether the person admits it or not, looking at his body size of 100 kilograms, I can probably figure out the reason.

Sisi quietly touched the relationship between him and Tanaka, and couldn't help but admire Ma Ping'an's eyesight.

So in his words, he quietly revealed some arguments such as 'successful men are women's love', and even made Liu Fatzi's beautiful eyes laugh.

"This is the Bolivian Flame Stone, also known as the blessing of the Fire God.

It is said to be a gem with magical powers, and those who receive it will have the blessed power of the flame god.

In the future, whether it is official career or financial luck, it will be smooth sailing... It's very suitable for a promising person like Mr. Liu..."

Standing in front of the red stone, Sisi smiled and introduced.

"Is it true?" Fat Liu's eyes suddenly widened.

"You don't believe it?"

Sisi looked at him dissatisfiedly: "The president of our research society only started to make a fortune after getting this stone, otherwise how could he have collected so many precious collections in just a few years?" “

Fat Liu swallowed and spat at the mouth, glanced at the stone a few times, and behind him, Tian Zhongli sneered a few times, and interjected: "Miss Liu, do you sell this stone?" ”

He was also an extremely shrewd man, and yesterday's chance encounter made him suspicious.

The play in front of him today made him feel like he was acting, and he had already thought about it in his heart, if this girl offered a sky-high price, no matter how fanciful she said, she would never be fooled.

Sisi really smiled and said, "This 'Blessing of the Flame God' is worth tens of millions..."

Tanaka's eyes suddenly showed a hint of ridicule, but he didn't expect her to continue: "But our research society is not short of money, and all the collections are not for sale, so I'm sorry..."

"Not for sale..."

Tanaka was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Sisi had already pulled Liu Fatzi and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu... Please come with me over here, there are elephant bone stones from Kenya..."

"This elephant bone stone is known for its shape like ivory.

Legend has it that the indigenous people of ancient Kenya used it to ward off evil spirits when they built the shrine.

Like the 'Blessing of the Flame God', it is one of the most valuable collectibles in our Workshop.

When you look at the delicate patterns on the stones, do you have some taste of abstract art? ”

Sisi pointed to a stone stick and introduced, the brown stone was slender and long, covered with cracks in the Dao, and looked like dried dirt.

The stone was placed on a shelf about a meter above the ground, and with Sisi's introduction, Liu Fatzi bent down with interest, and just wanted to take a closer look, but the field behind him was squeezed and hit him hard.

The fat man planted it forward, and it pressed on the crystal box in front of him with a snap, and with a bang, the crystal box fell off the shelf, and was just pressed under the fat man, and when he got up, the 'elephant bone stone' inside had been broken into several pieces.

Liu Fatzi was dumbfounded for a moment, Tanaka's reaction was not slow, he got up and immediately looked to the side, but people came and went in the hall, and when they saw that there was movement here, they all gathered over, and it was crowded for a while, where to find the culprit?

Sisi stood motionless beside him, looking at the 'elephant bone stone', his face suddenly changed.

"What's going on..."Hu Si had already run over, looking at the rubble chips on the ground, his mouth open enough to stuff an egg.

Sisi looked at Fat Liu, and said to him in a panic: "I'm sorry, President... This is my friend, accidentally..."

Hu Si waved his arms and almost roared: "Accidentally? This is a Bolivian elephant bone stone!

How did you do it, you found such a hairy friend! ”

“... I'm sorry, President, but I'll make the compensation, okay? Sisi was already crying.

"Do you pay? Can you afford to pay it? ”

Hu Si sneered, squatted down and pieced together the stone stick that was broken into several pieces, clapped his palms with regret on his face, stood up and pointed at Sisi's nose, and said with a cold face: "Even if you work for me for free in your life, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it..."

Si Chu stood pitifully beside him, and the tears in his eyes finally dripped down.

Fat Liu came back to his senses at this time, pulled Sisi behind his back, glared at Hu Si and shouted, "How much?" I'm in charge myself! ”

Hu Si looked at him, with a sneering look on his face, and shook his head: "Look at this gentleman's outfit, don't you need to say such big words, right?" ”

Although Liu Fatzi is a vice president of a group, after all, he is still a part-time worker, and what he is wearing is just an ordinary brand, which can be distinguished at a glance in front of real upper-class people.

In the crowd next to him, there were also a few people who knew the goods, and they immediately burst into laughter.

Liu Fatzi's face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at Hu Si but couldn't say a word.

Tanaka had already calmed down, and stood beside him, his eyes rolling as if he was thinking of something.

With the shrewdness of the Japanese people in the east, how could he not see the problem, and roughly sorted out the matter, and was about to go up to help, when someone next to him gently said in his ear: "Opportunity... Mr. Tanaka, give a little money, this Mr. Liu will be grateful to you for the rest of his life..."

Tanaka was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw a handsome face with a smile on his face, nodding slightly to him.

He suddenly understood, glared fiercely, and scolded in a low voice: "Liar... You guys are a bunch of liars..."

Ma Ping'an shrugged his shoulders slightly and made an indifferent expression: "I'm just kindly reminding you."

You see, the workshop is officially registered in Ice Blue, and the exhibits are genuine.

With so many people testifying, you can't let your friends not get off the stage, right? ”

When Tanaka thought of the hundreds of millions of contracts, his face changed again, and he finally resisted the urge to demolish them, took a step forward, pulled Liu Fatzi aside, and said to Hu Si with a smile: "This gentleman is my honored guest, and I will help him make up for the losses he caused." ”

In Hu Si's surprised and Liu Fatzi's grateful eyes, Tanaka calmly opened the account on the identity chip...

It's just that the hand trembled inadvertently...
