My love game is too abstract.

Chapter 48 Peach Fox Appraising Treasures

Chapter 48 Peach Fox Appraising Treasures
"The perfect date?"

The first thing that Yaluo thought of was what constitutes perfection.

He glanced at the excited peach fox beside him.

"Perhaps to make her feel satisfied and happy?"

With this thought in mind, they walked into the main city.

Taohu was very curious when she came to the royal city for the first time. She looked around with her eyes wide open. The prosperity and novelty here were incomparable to the small towns she had stayed in before. She kept asking Yalu questions along the way.

"Yalo, why are those people holding brooms?"

"That's their means of transportation. Riding a broom is kind of a fashion."

"Oh, just like our sword flying."

"Yalo, are those people over there performing some kind of ritual?"

"That's a street performer performing magic. Even though there's magic, there are still people who are interested in magic tricks."

"Yalo, look, that chimpanzee is still wearing clothes."

"Shh! That's not a chimpanzee, that guy just has darker skin!"

The other person looked at her unfriendlyly, and Yaluo pulled her away quickly.

After walking for a while, Taohu's nose twitched slightly: "It smells sweet."

Yaluo looked around and saw an ice cream stand on the roadside.

"That's ice cream, would you like to try it?"

"Ice cream? Is it the same as sorbet? I've only seen the inner courtyard disciples of the Taoist temple eat it in the past."

Looking at Taohu's expectant eyes, Yaluo took her to the stall and ordered a double scoop of ice cream.

When the red and white ice cream was handed over, Taohu let go of Yaluo's hand for the first time and took it with both hands.

It stuck out its pink little tongue and licked it, then closed its eyes as if it had been stung, and its fox ears trembled.

"So cold!"

"I told you it's ice cream."

Maybe girls all like this kind of sweet food. The four girls in my family have similar preferences.

Peach Fox licked it twice, looked at Yaluo, and handed the ice cream over.

"Yalo, do you want to eat?"

"I'll let it go,"

Yalu really doesn't like sweet things.

On the way to the alchemy workshop, Taohu finished a double scoop of ice cream.

"No problem, it can be delivered tomorrow." Yaluo signed his name on the order and pushed it in front of White behind the counter.

White was leaning on the counter with one hand, staring at him with a somewhat resentful look.

"Hey, Yaluo, have you gotten into some romantic trouble lately? Why do you always bring a different girl with you?"

Tao Hu was at the other side of the workshop at this time, searching around the material containers for the evil-repelling materials she wanted.

"And they're all beastgirls. Have you hooked up with some big beastgirl family? If so, could you introduce me to a beastgirl? Preferably a cat-like woman with a D-like physique. Even better if she's a sadist."

"You are really not greedy. I can't find a sadistic cat lady. If you can make do, I can beat you up and make you feel good." Yaluo said.

"Okay, brother, stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me the truth, which big family are you really related to?"

"What I meant is that I just picked up your letter while walking?" Yaluo said.

"You are such an unfriendly person. You won't get the discount next time." White said angrily.

"Yalo, these are the ones I'll need!"

Taohu then brought some alchemical materials in small glass bottles, including red scale stone powder, pine oil, deep sleeping grass ash, and yellow cloud flower juice.

"We plan to make a money-saving ward off evil spirits, and we found some substitutes based on our past memories."

Yaluo looked at these materials one by one. He didn't know much about Taoist magic tools, but he recognized that the red scale stone powder should be a substitute for cinnabar.

Although he felt that using materials and coins from another world to make money was somewhat unreliable.

After buying the things the peach foxes needed, he left the alchemy workshop.

"Well, the next thing we need is copper coins, preferably ancient coins," Taohu said.

"If it's ancient coins, then we can only go to the antique market." Yaluo thought.

People in the other world also have the habit of collecting antiques. In the capital, Alex, there is a large antique shop called "Liujin Antique Exchange". The old objects collected here have a history of some decades and some thousands of years.

Yaluo came here with Taohu.

The exchange is very large and is divided into two floors. The upper floor is an exhibition area for some precious cultural relics, while the lower floor is a more ordinary trading area. There are also several appraisers doing cultural relic appraisals.

Coins are very common antiques. There is a row of tables and cabinets on the first floor, with a lot of ancient coins scattered inside. The prices range from a few ducats to more than ten gold coins.

Peach Fox searched carefully inside. "How about this one?"

Yaluo picked up a copper coin with a pretty good shape. He couldn't tell what era it was from. There was a white thistle flower printed on it and a lion head on the back.

"No, Yaluo, that coin is a modern imitation and is useless." Taohu shook his head and said.

Yaluo looked at her in surprise: "You can tell? Oh, right, you can appraise treasures."

He suddenly remembered that Taohu could also identify treasures from other worlds, but he didn't expect that he could even tell the year.

"This is a special ability of ours. I can see information about some things, so no treasure can escape my eyes." Taohu blinked her purple eyes at him.

"So convenient? Then can you see the information of people or creatures?" Yalu asked in surprise.

"Well, no, I can only see objects, and they have to be valuable. Besides, I have a special nose for real treasures. The real good things will attract me to find them."

As he spoke, Taohu picked up a coin with a crown seal from a pile of coins and shook it proudly at Yaluo.

This gave Yalu an idea. Since they were also at the antique exchange, why not let Taohu take a closer look? Maybe he could find a big bargain like last time?
"Taohu, take a look in here. Are there any treasures that are very valuable but unknown to others?" Yaluo asked her in a low voice.

Tao Hu shook his head. "We haven't seen any yet. After all, in a regular store like this with professional appraisers, it's still a bit difficult to find a bargain."

"That's true." Yaluo was a little disappointed, and was thinking about whether he should take Taohu to the night market in the evening.

She took the few copper coins she had selected and went to the counter to pay. While they were paying, a bald uncle was chattering at the counter next to her, and the appraiser at the counter opposite was examining an exquisitely crafted sword carefully.

"This is the sword that Emperor Sosa carried during the Battle of Jinshi. Look at the inscription on the blade; it was carved by Emperor Sosa himself. This is a genuine artifact with over a thousand years of history!"

The appraiser, wearing white gloves, examined the sword carefully with a cylindrical magnifying glass. She looked up and said hesitantly, "It should be fine. It's indeed old, but..."

"Then just issue me a certificate and don't waste my time. I have to send it to the auction house in the afternoon!" the uncle said anxiously.

The appraiser thought for a moment, then stood up and went to get the signed document for the appraisal report.

"That sword is new."

At this time, Taohu suddenly pointed at the sword and spoke loudly.

Both of them looked over, and even Yaluo was caught off guard.

"What did you say?" the uncle glared at him.

"I said your sword is new, and it's a replica from a few years ago. Although it's very realistic, it's not an old item." Taohu said.

The uncle looked her up and down, and seeing her good looks and animal ears, he also thought that she was the eldest daughter of an orc family. His tone softened a little:
"Miss, don't think you can make random comments just because you've read a lot of books. Even the archaeologist Ferry from the capital praised my sword as a treasure! What do you, a young girl, know?"

"But it's new," Taohu walked forward and pointed a finger at the hilt of the sword:
"Look, if this is really Emperor Sosa's sword, it must have been made by his personal craftsman, Keswo. This master craftsman wouldn't normally use a duckbill knife, but this sword clearly shows the marks of such a tool."

As soon as these words were spoken, the appraiser lady seemed to remember something and hurriedly looked at it again with the cylindrical mirror.

"It seems so." She said in surprise, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Taohu was different.

"Wait, your ability can even see the carving habits of craftsmen from a thousand years ago?" Yaluo asked quietly in disbelief.

"Hehe, aren't we awesome?" Taohu gave him a proud look.

"Bullshit! Look at this engraved inscription! If this workmanship is not from the time of Emperor Sousa, then what else could it be?" the uncle said angrily.

"Oh, that, indeed, the inscription is a very realistic imitation, but it appears..."

Taohu was about to continue explaining, but the uncle interrupted her.

"Impossible! This is an heirloom in my family! I've kept it for over a hundred years. How dare you say it's new?"

"It can't be more than a hundred years old. It's probably ten years ago at most. It can be considered new. From our perspective, the imitation should be used." Taohu was about to say, but was interrupted again.

"I think you're the new one! Master Feli has seen this sword of mine! He asked me to do it! How dare you question the master?"

"I'm not questioning it, but there are indeed problems here. Please listen to me first."

"Look at the grain, look at the polish, you say it's new?"

Being interrupted again, Taohu's expression changed a little and he turned down his lips.

"What do you know, little kid? Do you know history?"

"new."

"Look at this rust, look at this patina."

"New, completely new."

"Look"

"new."

"you"

“It’s definitely new.”
