Chapter 70: Hunger
After a while, Shalai stopped in front of the shrine where the Buddha statue was enshrined.
Theravada Buddhism is practiced in the city of Taylor, and it is very popular, many people are Buddhists, and temples are everywhere.
It is also normal to worship Buddha statues in the house, but the Buddha statue enshrined by Zheng De is a bit strange, with three faces on one head and a little doll that looks like a boy at his feet, but the little doll has a terrible grimace.
There are also many strange-looking signs enshrined on the offerings, and Li Xiu can't understand what those things are, they are weird.
Sha Lai came to the spirit, reached out and grabbed the Buddha statue, touched it a few times, and then grabbed his head and twisted it, and turned the head of the Buddha statue one hundred and eighty degrees.
Kachacha!
The floor slowly cracked, and half of the room's floor slowly shrank into the wall, revealing a downward staircase below.
"Hehe, Zheng De, this old thing is really yin enough, almost everyone in Taylor City believes in Buddhism, no one will be disrespectful to the Buddha statue, he set up the mechanism here, and ordinary people really dare not touch it." Sha said and took the lead.
At the end of the stairs was a vault gate, and Qin Shi directly condensed the magic light blade and cut open the alloy gate that was more than a meter thick.
A few people went in to take a look, and immediately overjoyed, dozens of square meters of room, there are many glass cabinets on display, and many glass cabinets are placed in them.
There were some antique calligraphy and paintings, and Li Xiu didn't understand them, but Li Xiu saw the magic costume in a large glass cabinet at a glance.
The overall lines of the magic suit are a little exaggerated, some places are more angular, the style is very technological, the matte surface, the main color of purple has black strokes on the edges, giving people a feeling of biological armor.
Li Xiu recognized the origin of the magic costume at first glance, it was a limited edition S-class magic costume "Ghost Face" made in the No. 1 laboratory of Space City.
It is said that it is a limited edition, but in fact, many S-class magic suits are limited editions, and that is because it is generally difficult to make a second set of materials to make S-class magic suits.
Theoretically speaking, the difference between a limited edition and a non-limited edition is mostly due to the different ways to obtain the core material Magic Core and auxiliary materials.
Generally, the magic cores of the unrestricted version of the magic suit are from the trial gate, and the magic cores obtained in the same trial ground have exactly the same attributes.
However, the attributes of the magic core obtained by killing the demon spirit will be slightly different from other magic cores, and they will not be exactly the same.
Moreover, the magic core obtained by killing the demon spirit can be used as an auxiliary material, and it is basically difficult to create a second set of exactly the same magic costume created in this way.
This S-level ghost face costume is made of the demon core and body of the S-level demon spirit as materials, and the S-level demon spirit was killed by Li Xiu himself.
"I didn't expect this set of ghost faces to fall into Zheng De's hands, just this set of magic costumes is worth a lot of money, he obviously has so many valuable things, but he is reluctant to take them out to pay off his debts, and he has to search for the poor at the bottom, which is really a standard upper-class style." Li Xiu sighed in his heart.
"Like it? If you like it, it's yours. Sha Lai said with a smile.
Li Xiu glanced at Qin Shi next to him, and seeing that she had no intention of fighting, he walked over and opened the glass cover and took out the ghost-faced demon costume.
Qin Shi was not in the mood to look at these things at all, she opened the safes one by one, some of them had magic cores, some of them had gems, although the number was not very large, but all of them were high-quality products.
It wasn't until she opened a safe with boxes of rubies that she excitedly put them away.
"All I need is this, and the rest is yours." Qin Shi said.
Sha Lai unceremoniously searched up, and when it came to Pashan, he stood still and did not move.
Li Xiu was actually not very interested in these gems or anything, their main role was to enter the door of trials, and they had no actual value other than that.
Li Xiu glanced at those gems, and suddenly his gaze was fixed on a gem.
It was a red gem, and when I looked at it, I thought it was a ruby, but if you look closely, you will find that it is still a little different from ruby.
Its color is not as heavy as ruby, a little pink, but more fluorescent, the color is fiery and pure, under the illumination of the light, like a lightsaber in the hands of the Jedi, it emits a thick fluorescence.
"This is red spinel, which is generally an associated mineral for rubies. Although it is not a ruby, it is quite valuable. The color of this red spinel is probably already able to reach the top color grade...... Jedi color, if I'm not mistaken, this Jedi spinel should be from the mouth of the Namia mine, something that has been extinct decades ago. Generally speaking, the spinel of Namia is relatively small, and there are more impurities in the crystal, this Nano Jedi spinel looks to be more than ten carats, and it is quite pure, which is very rare. Such a rare top-quality red spinel is definitely not worth less than ruby. Among these gems collected by Zheng De's old thing, this one is also considered top-notch, and there are few that can compare with it. Sha Lai, who was searching this safe, saw Li Xiu staring at the gem, picked up the gem and threw it at Li Xiu.
Li Xiu reached out and grabbed the Namia Jedi Knight's spinel, staring at it with straight eyes.
Li Xiu didn't know about gemstones in detail, but probably knew rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds and cat's eyes, which are the world's top gemstones, and gemstones like spinel, he also knew a little, but he didn't know much.
He didn't pay attention to this gem because he recognized its value, nor because it was beautiful.
I'm afraid no one believes the real reason, but when he saw this gem, he actually felt a sense of hunger in his stomach.
His brain actually had the desire to eat this red spinel, which made Li Xiu himself startled, and at the same time made him have a very bad idea.
Because as far as Li Xiu knew, there was only one kind of creature in this world that could eat gems, and that was the demon spirit that came from nowhere.
Now Li Xiu actually had the desire to eat gems, which made him even more worried about whether the demon spirit hatchlings in his body were dead.
The strange thing is that there are so many gems in the vault, and there are even top pigeon blood rubies with higher value, but Li Xiu has no desire for them at all, only this red spinel makes him feel that kind of hunger.
"What the hell is going on? Wouldn't I have eaten those cores? Li Xiu frowned and pondered, thinking about whether to swallow this red spinel and see what would happen.
He quickly suppressed this urge and put the red spinel away first, if he ate the red spinel now, they would probably look at him like a monster.
"It seems that we have to find a professional place and carefully check my body." Li Xiu secretly thought to himself where to check his body.
