The situation in the antique shop did not seem to be very good, the window pane on the outside had been smashed into a large hole, and the inside of the store was in a mess, as if it had been burglarized.

Well, not like a thief, but indeed a thief.

It was this antique shop that was robbed at noon.

The owner of the antique shop was a short old man, and when Chen Xiu came over, the old man was holding a big broom, cleaning up some glass shards on the ground.

"It's closed for the time being, if you have anything you want to buy, you can come back at this time tomorrow."

The short old man swept the ground with his head down, and said without looking back, "As you can see, our shop is in a little trouble. ”

"I'm not here to buy something." Chen Xiu glanced around the environment of the store and grabbed the ancient silver coins from his pocket, "I think these things should be yours." ”

The short old man stopped, turned around, and showed a wrinkled old face.

He first looked at Chen Xiu, and then his eyes fell on the ancient silver coins in Chen Xiu's hand.

"Boy, nothing sold in our store will be returned!" The short old man's face suddenly turned pale, revealing a vigilant look, "If you want to return the money, I think you are in the wrong place." ”

As he said this, he also raised the broomstick in his hand and waved it menacingly.

It's like if you don't agree with each other, you want to come up and beat someone.

“……”

Chen Xiu was also speechless by the old man's reaction, so he had to explain the origin of these ancient silver coins.

“…… Hahaha, I'm so embarrassed! ”

Only then did the old man realize that he had misunderstood, and he hid his embarrassment with laughter.

"As you can see, there have been some restless guys coming to my shop lately to make trouble, which is why there is such a misunderstanding...... That's right, that's it! ”

Despite the old man's best efforts to explain, it was clear from his expression that things were not as simple as he said.

…… So you're actually a black shop here, right?

Chen Xiu secretly complained in his heart.

"There are really fewer and fewer young people with good character like you now, and I have seen many young people of your age, and to be honest, most of them are rotten."

"All day long, they either fly leaves, knock on illegal drugs, mess with relationships, or do some weird behaviors to show how maverick they are."

The short old man looked indignant and filled with righteous indignation.

"What's more, for example, the miscellaneous pieces at noon actually came to rob me, an old man in his seventies...... It's crazy!! ”

The short old man shook his fist vigorously, his face flushed with excitement.

Chen Xiu hurriedly calmed down, this old man was so excited, in case of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and hung up, it would be troublesome.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to interrupt the old man, unwilling to listen to the old man's nonsense, and prepared to enter the topic.

"I'm here to return these things......"

"You don't have to return it, I'll give you these things as a souvenir!"

Without waiting for Chen Xiu to finish speaking, the short old man waved his hand and said this sentence in a bold tone.

was interrupted by the short old man's sudden appearance, Chen Xiu's original train of thought was interrupted, and he was stunned for a while before reacting.

"No, no, no, it's not good, these things must be valuable......"

"No, these silver coins are just processed souvenirs, not valuable."

The short old man said.

“…… Souvenir? Chen Xiu was really blindsided this time, staring at the ancient silver coins in his hand, "Aren't these antique coins?" How can a souvenir be so old......"

As he spoke, he gradually became a little less confident.

"It's just aged with a special process, and in fact these silver coins are not as old as you." The short old man said casually.

"......" Chen Xiu was speechless by the old man again, "But aren't you an antique shop?" ”

"Who said antique shops can only sell antiques?" The short old man is rightly strong.

You're a fucking black shop!

The corners of Chen Xiu's mouth twitched.

You don't have to think about it to know that this old guy must have done a lot of selling souvenirs as antiques on weekdays.

But what made Chen Xiu even more puzzled was that these ancient silver coins that could provide experience points turned out to be fakes.

"Are you sure these are really memorabilia?" Chen Xiu was a little unrelenting, pinched a brake coin and stared wide-eyed, "Could it be that you have lost your eyes, maybe these are genuine goods." ”

"That's what I've done before, how could I be wrong? What's more, the aging method of these ancient silver coins is too rough, and at first glance it looks like a novice did it......"

The short old man chattered and commented on the quality of these ancient silver coins.

A large number of professional terms came out of his mouth, making Chen Xiu finally believe in the fact that these ancient silver coins were parallel goods.

"I didn't expect it to be a souvenir, I always thought it was an antique coin, and I was very interested......"

Chen Xiu looked at the ancient silver coin in his hand blankly, his expression was full of complexity, and he looked like he had been hit.

"Boy, are you interested in antique coins?" The short old man took over, "I have some real antique coins here, I can show you something." ”

As he spoke, the old man took out a red wooden box from behind the counter, opened the box, and there were more than a dozen quaint-looking coins inside.

The dozen or so coins are not the same in shape, they are several coins mixed together, more than half of which are silver coins, and the rest are gold coins and other materials.

"These are really good things, and they're completely different from the kind of parallel goods you have."

The short old man's tone was full of smugness, showing Chen Xiu his collection.

Chen Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, as if the parallel goods in his hand were brought by himself.

"Can I touch it?"

"Feel free to touch them, these things aren't that delicate."

The short old man said generously.

Chen Xiu picked up one of the ancient silver coins, took a casual look, then put it back and picked up another ancient coin again.

Then he quickly put it down and picked up the third ancient coin.

Soon, Chen Xiu looked at all the ancient coins in the mahogany box, and there was a little disappointment in his eyes.

None of these coins have any experience points.

"How? Doesn't it feel like something is different? The short old man took the mahogany box back, "If you like whichever one you like, you can tell me, for the sake of our relationship, I can give you a twenty-percent discount!" ”

"Discounted? How much does an ancient coin like this cost? ”

Chen Xiu curiously picked up an ancient silver coin with a portrait printed on it and asked casually.

"The Oulu currency is the fourth version of the currency issued by the Oulu Empire that rampaged throughout the Avaloa continent more than 400 years ago, and the Oulu Empire has a tradition of printing the emperor's head on the currency, and the fourth version of the currency has just been minted, and the Oulu Emperor died unexpectedly at that time, so this version of the currency stopped being minted and not issued, it is a very rare out-of-print currency, and it is very collectible."

The short old man introduced the origin of the ancient silver coin in Chen Xiu's hand, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "The original price of this Oulu coin is at least 1800 dales, boy, I see that you have a good character, the price is 1400 dalles, this Oulu coin is yours." ”

1400 Daller ......

Chen Xiu silently put down the ancient silver coin in his hand, "I'd better take a look at your commemorative coin here." ”

His family now has no income left, and lives on his grandfather's pension, which is only 1,200 daulers a month.

To him, the price of these ancient coins was a bit ridiculously high.

"What's so nice about commemorative coins, that kind of thing is grabbed at the roadside stalls outside." The short old man shook his head and put the mahogany box away.

"I don't have many commemorative coins here, and I was robbed of a lot by the two small scraps at noon...... Now that's all that's left at the counter. ”

The old man pointed to a small counter in the corner of the store.

The counter was only about 30 centimeters wide, probably because it was too small to be noticed by the two thugs, and it was the only counter in the store that had not been destroyed.

There are only a few antique commemorative coins on the counter, but none of them are in the style of a brake coin.

"Can I open it and take it out?" Chen Xiu turned his head and asked.

"Whatever." The short old man didn't care.

Chen Xiu opened the counter and took out the commemorative coins inside, but to his disappointment, these commemorative coins also had no experience points in them.

Now it seems that only the batch of fake brake coins that were snatched at noon can provide him with experience.

"I saw a police car coming, the police department should have started an investigation, right?" Chen Xiu was concerned about the development of the case, "Do you have any clues about the robber?" ”

If the robber is caught and the stolen goods are recovered, then he will still have a chance to absorb the experience points inside.

"Nope." The short old man shook his head, "You must know that in this hellish place like Tanar, there are not a thousand but eight hundred biker gangsters like that, and the chances of the police station catching that miscellaneous piece are not much higher than if I bought a lottery ticket and won the lottery." ”

Although the probability of solving the case is extremely low, the short old man has no intention of being depressed at all.

Most of the things that the bastard snatched from his store were fakes, and the few real things he did were worthless, so his losses were actually very small.

Not to mention that he still has the habit of buying commercial insurance, and when the compensation from the insurance company arrives, he will not only not lose money, but will make a small profit.

Chen Xiu heard the short old man say this, and knew that there was no hope of relying on the police station to recover the stolen goods, so he asked the short old man about the source of these commemorative coins.

"It was left by the original owner."

The short old man fell into the memory, "This antique shop used to have another owner, and then the owner went bankrupt and transferred the shop, and at that time I just retired and had nothing to do, so I took this store down......"

According to the short old man, he has been in charge of this shop for seven or eight years, and he did not leave contact information with the other party at that time, and after such a long time, the original owner of the store has not been able to find it.

Chen Xiu finally found nothing.

But before leaving, the short old man said that he would buy a new batch of goods in a few days, and asked him to come over and play at that time, and he agreed to the other party.

"Weird boy ......" After Chen Xiu left, the short old man looked at Chen Xiu's distant back and touched his chin, "The real ancient coins are not interested in the front of me, but are interested in some fakes......

"Am I really blind?"

The short old man suddenly got under the counter and pulled out a purple wooden box from underneath.

Opening the lid of the purple wood box, a dozen old ancient silver coins were lying quietly in it.

These dozen or so ancient silver coins are all the brake coins that Chen Xiu was looking for.

"This workmanship is so rough, it's clearly fake." The short old man picked up a brake coin from it, put it in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully.

He didn't see any name after looking at it for a long time, but the more he looked at it, the more fake it became.

"Call Old Man Gwen in the evening and ask if he has any other name for these brake coins."

The short old man simply put away all the brake coins.

Gwen is an old friend of his, and the original owner of this antique shop.

……

When he left the antique shop, it was already half past three, so Chen Xiu didn't wander around anymore, and rode his bicycle home.

On the way home, he felt the changes in his upgraded body more clearly.

It originally took more than forty minutes to travel, but it only took more than thirty minutes for Chen Xiu to ride back, which was a quarter of the time.

And after he rode home, although he was not lightly tired and sweated a lot, he was not at all tired to the extent that he was drenched in sweat and his legs were sore.

Every time Chen Xiu rode home a few days ago, the first thing he did was to lie down on the sofa, and he had to lie down for more than ten minutes to ease up.

Today I don't have that feeling of being paralyzed.

When he got home, his grandfather was not there, Chen Xiu put his bicycle into the house, slipped up to the second floor directly, found the scale from under the bed and stood up.

61.5kg。

Seeing the number that popped up on the scale, Chen Xiu raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of understanding.

At that time, after the upgrade, he faintly felt that his whole body was a lot stronger, and the clothes on his body were also a little tight, not as fitting as before.

Now it seems that his feelings are not wrong.

"It's actually 5.5kg all at once...... No wonder the clothes are a little out of place. ”

Chen Xiu looked at his weight at the moment, nodded slightly, and showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The weight of sixty-three kilograms may be a little lower than that of an adult male, but in his middle school student, he has a faint sense of strength.

He went to the bathroom, took off his shirt, and looked in the mirror.

In the mirror, you can see that the rib outlines that were clearly visible on both sides have disappeared at the moment, and the abdominal muscles have appeared in the abdomen.

Chen Xiu kept looking at the mirror, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

The temperature in the room was actually very low, only about 5°, and after he had been naked for so long before, the whole person had already begun to tremble.

And now that his physique has grown after upgrading, Chen Xiu has no other discomfort except that he feels a little cold.

Because he was sweating from cycling, he took a hot shower by the way.

After taking a shower, Chen Xiu found his grandfather's tape measure again and measured his current height.

As he expected, he had grown a little taller, but not as dramatically as his weight gain, only two centimeters.

He was only 172 centimeters, but now he is 174 centimeters.

Although it doesn't grow much, it's a good sign, as long as you keep upgrading, then you can continue to grow.
