Chapter 76 Going to the market
Chapter 76 Going to the market
"There are quite a lot of people today."
Zhu Mingyao looked at the bustling crowd, waited patiently for a while before finding a parking space, parked his second-hand pickup truck, paid the admission fee, and walked into the Rose Bowl with great interest.
The Rose Bowl is not a bowl, but the main stadium left over from the Los Angeles Olympics in the 80s. Now it is the most famous flea market in Los Angeles and even the entire Golden State area.
On the first and third Tuesday of each month, the venue will be closed for sporting events, with more than 2,500 stalls and tens of thousands of customers gathering here from all directions.
With such a scale, the vast and sparsely populated Federation can be said to be a first-class grand bazaar. Therefore, it has become more and more famous in recent years. Even people from several neighboring states drove hundreds of kilometers to join in the fun.
In a federation where second-hand trading is very popular, residents in Los Angeles will basically visit the Rose Bowl at least once in their lives. Zhu Mingyao is no exception. After all, Zhang Shouzhong, who adopted him, apparently runs an antique shop, even if it is just for making In this case, I have to buy some things from time to time and put them in the store to recharge my balance.
After following the old man here a few times, Zhu Mingyao quickly fell in love with the feeling of swimming in a folk museum, looking at the dazzling array of goods from all over the world, and he just went with the flow when going to the market. , became one of his favorite pastimes after time travel.
As for asking if he had the insight to recognize pearls over the years and find some good value for money or even extraordinary treasures, Zhu Mingyao could only sigh helplessly.
As for the former, he had picked up leaks twice and resold them in exchange for a little pocket money. As for extraordinary items, he had only seen Zhang Shouzhong find a string of Bodhi wood rosary beads in these years.
This is not difficult to understand. As one of the most prosperous places in the country, there are many extraordinary people active in the Golden State area. If you can think of it, others can also think of it. If you can come to the second-hand market to pick up things, others can naturally do the same.
You are not the only smart person in the world!
Except for those who know only one trick, skills such as spiritual vision, clairvoyance, and qi-gazing are not too unattainable for those extraordinary people with serious inheritance. You can always learn a few of them with some effort. , the difference is only in the level of effect.
Even large organizations such as the official Special Investigation Bureau, the Hualian Chamber of Commerce, and the Holy Church have assigned special personnel to keep an eye on various markets. Once they find good things, they will eat them immediately. After all, no one will be dissatisfied with the extraordinary items they have stored. and too much material.
There are too many monks and too little food, the competition is fierce, and there are really not many opportunities to truly make mistakes.
But Zhu Mingyao doesn't care too much about this. He has a system plug-in, and he doesn't have much obsession with whether he can pick up leaks. He only visits the market as a way to adjust his life and gain some knowledge.
At this time, more than half a month had passed since the boy returned from Corian Manor. Even though Zhu Mingyao repeatedly assured that the evil spirit had indeed been eliminated, Professor Marlow was still a little worried. Only three days had passed since the originally planned seven-day psychological experiment. It ended in a hurry.
Seeing the grimace on Professor Maruo's face for not getting the research results, and the fact that he had compensated him for the decorations he had broken while fighting the evil spirits, Zhu Mingyao didn't have the nerve to ask for the reward this time.
Originally, the town officials wanted to argue over the amount of compensation, but Zhu Mingyao pulled out the pile of child laborers' remains from the fireplace in front of them, shocking everyone. , I don’t dare to pester anymore.
The old mayor was so frightened that his legs weakened. Instead, he came over and begged Professor Marlow and his party not to spread the news everywhere.
You know, the legendary haunted house where people have died and the haunted house where a large number of children are sure to have died tragically are two different concepts. The local people still dream that after the reputation of the manor is gradually spread, a rich man will one day take over. If this is true, With this bad reputation, no wealthy person with a little bit of respect would take advantage of him!
It’s true that foreigners are not superstitious!
After finishing the processing and saying goodbye to several members of the experimental team, Zhu Mingyao and Professor Maro returned to Los Angeles. As for the trophies, Bai Ziyuan had already asked someone to bring them back. They did not put them home at all. Just ask him to find someone to take action.
Zhu Mingyao, who was free for a while, began to work hard again. His hard work paid off. After the [Lung God Canopy], he also fully mastered the ability of the [Heart Pill Yuan] chapter in the Huangting Sutra of the Shangqing Dynasty, and he could do it at will. Use it flexibly in combat.
As the old saying goes, if the heart sees iron, it will die. Even for most extraordinary people, the heart is one of the fatal points.
However, as the Huangting Sutra of the Shangqing Dynasty is an authentic and superior immortal method from otherworldly sects, although the Heart Alchemy Chapter is only one part of it, it also has its own infinite mysteries. After it is completed, it will not only have the magical power of Heart Fire, which can ignite the delusions in the hearts of sentient beings, but also It strengthens the organ of the heart to a point that is almost difficult to explain by modern medicine.
Now, Zhu Mingyao's heart can basically recover slowly on its own, as long as it doesn't suffer too serious trauma. For example, a steel needle piercing the heart, an injury that would probably kill an ordinary person on the spot, could be healed in two or three days for him, which means that his survivability in certain dangerous situations has been greatly improved. .
His practice has taken a step further, and Zhu Mingyao is in a great mood, feeling the vitality coming from his heart.
Why are so many people addicted to video games? It’s not just because in the game you can reap the rewards of your hard work, positive feedback is much easier to come by than in reality.
Even if the illusory game is like this, the satisfaction brought by such a real and real increase in power is even more intense. It is no wonder that so many senior practitioners can practice hard for many years without getting bored.
His cultivation had improved, and it happened to be the Rose Bowl market day. Zhu Mingyao, who had not been out for a long time, decided to go out for some relaxation and take a look at the market.
In recent months, due to the attack on the Special Investigation Bureau, the extraordinary people in the Jinzhou area have been severely punished by the authorities.
Needless to say, those guys who were a little unclean disappeared instantly without a trace.
Even those with innocent financial status mostly left this place temporarily to avoid the limelight.
In this case, the number of peers in the market is greatly reduced. If all is not guaranteed, what if some good things will leak out?
With this idea in mind, Zhu Mingyao walked forward, asking and observing at various stalls from time to time.
The young man focused on looking for items related to religious themes. His past experiences told him that such items had a relatively high chance of containing extraordinary power, which meant that they had a higher chance of being "shipped."
……
"Five hundred gold dollars!"
"Stop joking, little guy, I said a thousand yuan! Not a penny less!"
"The weight of this chalice cannot exceed two hundred grams at most. How much does one gram of silver cost now? My price is already very sincere."
Zhu Mingyao frowned, pointed to a silver goblet on the stall, and argued with the stall owner in front of him.
The stall owner was an old white man with a thin head. He pursed his lips and said stubbornly: "You can't just look at this. You have to know, kid, that this thing has a history of more than a hundred years and is so well preserved. It's worth this." Price!"
"With a history of more than a hundred years... it would be regarded as an antique in the Federation..."
Seeing this, Zhu Mingyao felt helpless and had no choice but to shake his head and walk away.
Although this Holy Communion Cup is just a mortal object, there is a faint trace of incense and willpower remaining on it. It must have been worshiped in a church for a long time. It may be refining and transformed and placed on your own altar. Above, it is used to assist rituals.
It's just that the other party bit her too hard. Even if the historical value of it as an antique is taken into account, the price she gave was about twice as high as the market. If she still refuses to spit, then there is no need to continue fighting. It's not particularly precious anyway. thing.
I don’t know if I can reach 10,000 collections by the end of the month. If so, maybe it will be available next month.
