Chapter 9 Magic Crystal

It was only 3:30 that I had left the police station. Ryan didn't plan to be an otaku when he first arrived, but was going to stroll around, looking for all possible opportunities and fates.

If he does not register for the hunting qualification certificate exam, he will not know that the skills of the game interface can be obtained in this way.

Try more and explore more, and there will be no mistakes.

In the original owner's memory, there is a fresh goods market that opened on weekends near the police station, with all kinds of goods available.

From valuable antique cars, to Chinese porcelain calligraphy and paintings, silverware, porcelain, oil paintings, handicrafts of African Indians, or vinyl records from the 1960s and 1970s, luxury high-quality clothing at the end of the 1980s and 1980s can be seen.

In the french market, you need your eyesight, otherwise you will be easily deceived.

There are not many truly valuable antiques, most of them are actually modern handicrafts. If you are looking for a bargain, you will probably have to return home in a disappointment.

Ryan himself doesn't have much money, so he simply takes a playful attitude and plays these crafts carefully from time to time to see if it can make the game system react.

The colorful tea cups, various patterns of carpets, and the artistic-looking oil paintings were not allowed to stop Ryan. His eyes were on some old objects.

I guess I saw too many similar people, and the merchants did not come to attract customers, but let them check it out. Anyway, most people only look at it and don’t buy it, not the target customers.

"it's beautiful."

Ryan stood at the door of an antique jewelry store, with different kinds of jewelry inside shining brightly under the light and looking even more brilliant than diamonds.

Ruby is as brilliant as fire, sapphire is blue and deep, and its exquisite craftsmanship makes people want to understand the story behind it.

"Can I see this?"

Ryan pointed to the ring inside the glass display cabinet.

The owner is an old man in his sixties and seventies. His beard and hair are gray, and he is wearing small round-frame glasses on his nose, which makes him look like a gentleman.

"Of course, you can check out every jewelry here. This is a court ring from the Napoleon period, and it is very exquisitely made. If it were not for the French who fled, they would probably still be in France..."

It would be fine if he didn't speak, but it made Ryan frown slightly as soon as he opened his mouth.

This shop is indeed not a good shop. If it were Napoleon's ring, it would probably be directly on the auction.

Now you only need $2,800 to take it home!

Sure enough, they are just defrauding people who are stupid and have a lot of money.

"How long has it been since Napoleon?"

Ryan asked curiously, and at the same time he touched it, there was no change in the game interface.

There is no way to know the authentic and fake products, and the only thing that can be known is that they have no effect on the game system.

The disappointed expression was revealed directly.

The owner thought Ryan didn't like the ring and immediately started selling the rest of the jewelry.

"What type of gem do you like? The black and blue opal ring here is quite good. It was acquired from the descendants of Hollywood superstar Montgomery. It is said to be his favorite jewelry."

"If you really want to know about jewelry, you should look at the brooch!"

Ryan listened carefully to the explanation, and at the same time, his hands gently brushed over these touchable jewelry, but unfortunately he returned home disappointed.

The owner was explaining while paying attention to Ryan's actions, as if he was worried about being thrown into his pocket.

There are not many antique jewelry in the store, most of which are not worth much money, even if you bargain for 30% off, you can make a big profit.

Most jewelry is used by women, and men don’t have many opportunities to wear it. For example, what Ryan sees are basically cufflinks, seal rings, brooches, bracelets, decorative swords with gems inlaid, etc.

"If you attend some formal events, wearing brooch is the best choice to increase your gentlemanly demeanor, which can distinguish you from other male guests..."

The shop owner was still explaining in an eloquent manner, as if he wanted to stuff everything to the customer.

However, Ryan stopped.

He stared at the brooch made of platinum in front of him, which was only inlaid with a water drop-shaped gem. The workmanship looked pretty good and the price was $1,998.

"Do you like this brooch very much? It is said that this is the jewelry worn by King Olaf of Norway who studied at Oxford University. It is simple and elegant, and it is very suitable for your current age..."

The owner's eyes lit up and he immediately started to hype it up. It seemed that every jewelry in the store had an extremely glorious past, which was completely inconsistent with the price.

"If it's $199, I'm willing to buy it."

Ryan Momo cut the price to one tenth, and his assets were not enough to buy the brooch at the original price.

The reason I like it so much is because the game system responded just now!

"Ding, I found the frost magic crystal, did it absorb it?"

When the store owner introduced it, he only said it was a white gem, but it was a magic crystal in the system!

Ryan really doesn't know what this thing is for.

He wanted to absorb the effect directly, but the brooch was not his own. There were several surveillance cameras in the store, so he didn't dare to make a blatant crime.

Anyway, there are fakes in the store, so it’s better to bargain and see if you can get it cheaper.

The store owner has experienced many battles and knows how to bargain and has met similar customers.

"Young man, you have to know that this is a jewelry worn by the King of Norway. When I bought it decades ago, it was more than this price. White gems represent purity and beauty. They are not only beautiful and generous in appearance, but also help you clear negative emotions."

Ryan just wants to go home with a brooch, and he has never refuted it before, and he can no longer help it.

"If it was really worn by the king, it proved that he was very down and would actually let his jewelry go to the people. I personally suggest that you sell this brooch to the Norwegian royal family, and they must be very willing to take back what they have done to their fathers."

"No, no, no, these jewelry of mine have a source that can be traced back. We need to find a buyer who is destined to be with them." The store manager said seriously, and he would never panic even if he was questioned and exposed.

Ryan took out his wallet and showed him all his belongings. At the same time, he used a trick that all consumers are good at: "Just $200, take it away if you sell it. If you don't sell it, I'll go to the next house."

People who really want to buy antique jewelry will not come here. This is clearly a sell to tourists and locals who are ignorant of goods and are erotic.

"Why do you want to add more? How about $800?"

"Sorry, I only have these budgets."

The owner looked at Ryan's expression and sighed, "I hope you really like this brooch, I'll pack it for you."

However, Ryan was worried that the shop owner would be thrown away.

"No need to cover it, just give it to me."

After saying that, he took out all the cash in his wallet. A stack of 20 US dollars green notes were printed with President Jackson's title, no more or less, just about 10 pieces.

After paying, Ryan's cash flow became precarious, with only six dollars left.

US dollar bills with a denomination of 50 and 100 are very rare in the hands of locals and are basically not used. Most of them are exchanged for foreign tourists.

After holding the brooch in his hand, Ryan felt much more relaxed.
