Chapter 42: The Exchange Begins

My name is Yan Shunlu, and I just got a treasure from the glaze factory, a white jade wrench in the early Qing Dynasty, which has a great effect on me......

Of course, this effect is used for my cultivation, this is the second "energy" stone I found, Goliath they use crystal, but I can only feel the fluctuation of energy from the jade, and both times are ancient jade, I want to find something from it, what if the energy of this wrench is not enough for cultivation? Or what about after I've fully absorbed it? People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, so I have to find some commonalities from them, reserve a little, as the saying goes, there is food at home and don't panic. This is a typical small-scale peasant consciousness, there is no way, it is an ordinary people, it is good to have this.

First of all, what I can be sure of is that I can only feel the energy, the quality of the jade is secondary, the jade I saw twice, the material is not high, and it may not be white jade, the last jade plate is not white jade; Secondly, both times I felt it on the ancient jade, and I went to the jewelry store and received nothing. So I've set my sights on the ancient jade, and I'll have to wander around the antique market when I have time, and maybe find a few more ancient jades.

This is Sijiu City, not much else, but when it comes to antiques, this is definitely a big trading market, in addition to the glaze factory and a Pan Jiayuan, where is the most authentic antique gathering place. Of course, there is also the legendary ghost market, which is not accessible to ordinary outsiders.

The so-called ghost market does not have a fixed trading location, it is a name for underground transactions, because in the past are carried out at night, lighting a dim lantern, and deliberately twisting the lamp into a small, soybean-sized flame swaying in the night, looking from a distance, like a ghost fire, the ghost market is a shadow of a longing, no shouting, no loud noise, different from our common liveliness, all transactions are carried out quietly, and the seller talks about the price when it is in the match, and the suitable one is taken away, and the other house is not suitable. This kind of trading is carried out at night, and as soon as the sky is polished, it disperses, gathering and scattering in a hurry, like a ghost, hence the name ghost market. At the same time, the ghosts are treacherous, talking about the things inside, the things in the ghost market are generally not coming from the right way, the majority of tomb robbers, and the two are mostly fakes. It's all a matter of luck.

Now that the streets are brightly lit, this kind of open-air night trading does not exist, but this form has continued, but it has turned underground, and it is said that it is held irregularly, and it still continues some of the habits of the past, for example, the seller lights a dim lamp in the dark, and the transaction process is still carried out silently...... It's just that the place has been replaced by some private clubhouse or something. Things are still the same, and there are many people who come from the wrong way...... But as long as you have enough skills, there will still be a good receipt. However, this can only be entered under the leadership of senior insiders. There are many legends about ghost markets in the market, and only a handful of them can really be seen.

So I locked the next target on Panjiayuan, where there may be a receipt, of course, I will not miss a few jade auctions at the same time, that is, the gambling stone fair. I'm curious to know why I only felt the energy in the ancient jade, and maybe it would be rewarded in other gems as well?

At that moment, he naturally grasped his cultivation, put the wrench on the thumb of his right hand and began to cultivate.

In other words, there is a difference between having energy and not having energy, the cultivation speed is much faster, and there is no hunger after the previous cultivation. Now I can understand the feeling of Goliath's cultivation, although they were also cultivating before, but they are still missing.

Speaking of Goliath, I remembered what he said, starting tomorrow he will tell the whole thing, it should be today, it is past midnight. I'm very curious now, and I'm very skeptical, mainly because his past behavior has left a bad record, and all the explanations are left in one hand, just like being locked up at the end when listening to a commentary, and when he is being hooked to arouse interest, he wants to know what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown. It makes people's teeth itch, but there is nothing to be done.

There are so many curiosities about Atlantis that even if I don't ask today, the experts won't let Goliath go. I'll add that when the time comes. I made up my mind and took a break. In fact, the current mental head is completely useless, but due to years of habit, I will still have to squint for a short while. Maybe it's because I can still feel like a normal person.

Just after 6 o'clock, my phone rang, and it was from the red wall that they sent someone to pick me up. If you want to say that they are a group of people, it feels like they don't need to rest, and there are people ready at all times, as long as you can contact them.

There was no excessive communication, just a hello, and it is taboo to communicate in a shallow manner. Especially for people in special functional departments like them, they are strict and will not speak easily. This is the norm for them, and it's nothing for me, I'm an otaku and I'm not good at communicating, unless I get acquainted with each other.

In this way, I arrived at the State Guesthouse and was taken over to enjoy the treatment of foreign guests. This is not a place for ordinary foreign guests to live, but for important people to be arranged here. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been only more than 1,000 people who have lived here, and there is no star rating here, but it is definitely incomparable to the so-called 5-star and 7-star ratings. The money to be able to live here is the least important criterion, and identity and status are the key. I was able to come completely because of Goliath's light, and at the same time, it also faintly confirmed Goliath's words, I can no longer see myself as an ordinary person, ordinary people will not have the opportunity to come here, this is a difference in identity, and the difference that brought me this identity is definitely not because of the light, I have already shown my slight difference in front of a group of experts......

Goliath reminded me repeatedly, but I was standing here today when I really started to reflect for the first time, and I was really different.

You won't be jealous of the richest man in the world, but you will easily be jealous of the people around you. A little more than others is acceptable, beyond a cut will be regarded as an anomaly, and this transcendence will become a chasm, will become a look. And I'm in the middle now, and more importantly, this difference is artificial, it can be bridged, and Goliath reminded me of this, so he asked me to continue to work hard to widen this difference, to become a chasm, to be unattainable, and I was safe.

I was enjoying breakfast when Goliath came, after all, he was also a figure who used cultivation instead of sleep, so his early rise was not surprising, but he was dressed differently today, yesterday he and the high priest were dressed in their traditional formal attire, and I usually saw our usual clothes. Today he wears something similar to the ancient Greek style. To put it bluntly, it is a large piece of fabric wrapped around the body, but he played tricks, a few inadvertent folds and twists into the formation of patterns, so that the overall look is simple but not simple, but also full of artistic atmosphere, especially the small objects worn on the body are the finishing touch, and the color is also rich.

"Morning, why are you dressed so flamboyantly today?" I quipped.

"Well, it's not bad, it's a good design in your society." Goliath said disapprovingly.

"I don't have any art germs, so I can't appreciate it, but I look quite spiritual."

"From today onwards, I'm going to show our Atlanteans and our Great Western Kingdom in an all-round way, so naturally I have to start with my appearance." Goliath straightened her clothes and sat down next to me.

"Whatever you want, I'm just a translator." I took a sip of porridge and said.

"It's not just about being a translator, it's a lot of things."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm resigning now, an idler, where are you staying? It's just that it's not as casual as at home, after all, you still have to pay attention to your image when you go out, and it's even more so here. I said with a big grin.

"Come with me later."

I don't really understand, wasn't it just that I was assigned to be a translator? Who else is it with if not with him?

It wasn't until after breakfast that I understood what he meant, and that with him meant to go with them, not by the car that had been arranged.

But fortunately, it is inside the compound, if it is outside, it will definitely cause a sensation, and no matter how many people maintain order, it is unavoidable.

It's a board with no visible material, but when a person stands on it, it flies out of thin air, about 10 centimeters above the ground, I don't know how to describe it, it's probably a skateboard without wheels? Or a flying carpet? As for the maximum flight height, and the forward speed is unknown. I don't know the name yet, but if I want to call it, it's a flyboard, it's simple and direct, and of course it's unbearable.

The speed of the movement within the red wall was not too fast, and Goliath maneuvered to follow, and flew all the way straight into the conference room. It was still early, scheduled to start at 9 o'clock, but many people in the conference room were already seated early. This group of old experts are all happy to see the hunt, especially full of desire for unknown technology, although it is an age, but it is more than the momentum of the hairy guy. My admission with Goliath aroused their curiosity and discussion.

As soon as we landed, a few slightly younger people came over and rushed to see what was going on.

There are a lot of experts who came this time, and they are all big coffee level. Not only in science and engineering, but also in sociologists, historians, and so on. Some of them were interested in the technology of the Atlanteans, and some were interested in their social formations, each from a different perspective, but at the same time the focus was on Goliath.

Goliath was the first to speak, and a strange string of syllables came out of his mouth, which he used in their own language, and everyone present naturally did not understand, so they turned their eyes to me, who made me the only one who could 'hear' and understand?

"Goliath said that it was a pleasure to meet you and hoped to have a pleasant exchange." I do my job as a translator.

Goliath said again, and I hurriedly translated, "He said that in order to show his sincerity, he used a small device to shield himself in this exchange, and he could not spy on everyone's consciousness, so he could only communicate in words, which was a little troublesome, but full of sincerity." ”

The rest of the time is for Goliath to say a word, and I to translate a sentence. But I can't translate the expert's question, because I don't know the language of the Atlanteans, but Goliath was prepared......
