Chapter 194 Routine
Chapter 194 Routine
After Bai Xi found out the details of this stall, she became a little uninterested. However, out of caution, she still called up the prompt map in her system backpack and compared it carefully with the stone tablet in front of her. It turned out that there were obvious differences between the two in many local locations.
Seeing this, Bai Xi did not touch it, nor did he use the system's identification function to identify it.
After all, the collection value is not cheap. The collection value in Bai Xi's hands can only be used for a few identifications. In the Panjiayuan Flea Market with a large number of goods, these are not enough for her to squander.
After Bai Xi was sure that the stall did not have what she wanted, she was about to put down the Yuan Datou in her hand. However, at this moment, a middle-aged man in a black down jacket and well-dressed hurried over.
"Brother!"
"Where's that Yuan Datou coin?"
"Give it to me, give it to me, I want it!"
The middle-aged man came to the front of the stall, his expression full of anxiety.
The stall owner looked a little bewildered when he heard the voice: "Hey brother, your Yuan Datou is in the hands of this young man."
"Ok?"
"Didn't you just say you'd keep it for me?"
The middle-aged man frowned deeply, and his words were full of dissatisfaction.
"Cough cough..."
"We don't have reservations here. If you just lied to me and someone else happened to like it, then I would have missed out on a great deal."
The stall owner laughed dryly twice and was a little embarrassed at first, but soon became righteous again.
"Then I'll compete with him fairly and add 5,000!"
The middle-aged man looked a little anxious and asked for a starting price of five thousand.
Upon hearing this, the stall owner stopped talking and looked at Bai Xi quietly, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation.
"Oh……"
"Congratulations, big brother."
"This Yuan Datou commemorative coin belongs to you."
"Yuan, pay."
Bai Xi slowly stood up and handed the Yuan Datou commemorative coin in his hand directly to the middle-aged man, while smiling and saying without any hesitation or pain on his face.
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, then he looked at the stall owner, obviously confused. The stall owner was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect Bai Xi to be so decisive and efficient without any hesitation.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Bai Xi flicked the Yuan Datou commemorative coin directly into the middle-aged man's hand and then bowed to the stall owner: "Stall owner, good luck and prosperity."
After saying that, Bai Xi turned and left.
The stall owner looked at Bai Xi's figure with unwillingness in his eyes, but when he saw the group of unusual-looking bodyguards following her like a shadow, the aggressive thoughts in his mind finally disappeared, and he could only glare fiercely at the middle-aged man in black.
"You idiot!"
"It's all your fault. You've exposed us!"
"It was clearly possible, but it just flew away!"
At this moment, the stall owner no longer had the honest and simple look he had just had, and his brows were filled with murderous intent and ferocity.
The sound of the two people's quarrel reached Bai Xi's ears faintly. Bai Xi did not look back, but just laughed softly.
"Boss Bai, did you see that?"
Just now in front of the stall, Guo Jianhua remained silent. It was not until he left the stall that he spoke again, asking with some curiosity.
"It's not that their routines are too vulgar, but that their stuff is too fake."
"The Yuan Datou commemorative coin they just forged is the 1914 Republic of China commemorative coin with Yuan Shikai's portrait. If it were put on an auction house, it would be a rare masterpiece and the transaction price could easily exceed 20 yuan."
"Even if they intentionally made the coins look old, it's clear they haven't done enough. Many of the details are fake in the eyes of connoisseurs, and they're only good enough to fool novice traders."
Although Bai Xi had used the identification function of System Baba to check the coin just now, even without the help of System Baba, based on Bai Xi's knowledge alone, she would not think that the thing was real.
It’s not that Bai Xi is very professional, it’s purely a feeling, because the antique collections that Bai Xi comes into contact with on a daily basis are basically authentic, and there are even national treasures like the Xi Jia Plate and the Picture of the Admonitions of Women.
So if a fake thing suddenly falls into your hand, you will feel a little uncomfortable.
This is like the last emperor Puyi. After the end of the feudal dynasty, he often visited the homes of many dignitaries. He could tell whether the antique furniture was real or fake just by sitting and touching it. But if you asked him to explain it, he couldn't. It was purely a feeling developed over time.
Anyway, if it doesn't feel the same as his home, then 90% of it is fake.
"Miss Bai, you are an expert."
“You can tell so much just by looking at it.”
After hearing Bai Xi's answer, Guo Jianhua, who originally thought that the girl in front of him was just playing around, was suddenly startled.
Then he silently raised a thumbs up and praised Bai Xi sincerely.
Bai Xi smiled, said nothing more, and started strolling around the street stall area again.
……
Ten p.m.
Bai Xi took the car arranged by Xiao Rui back to the hotel. Looking at Panjiayuan which was still brightly lit, he rubbed his eyebrows.
For a full eight hours, Bai Xi took Guo Jianhua and others to visit the entire street stall area. She did not miss any old items that seemed to be related to the stone tablet.
In order to cover up his tracks, Bai Xi also symbolically bought a lot of old items, including coins, porcelain, stone tablets, and cultural relics. Each one was not very expensive, and Bai Xi did not waste the value of his collection on appraisal. He just wanted to make himself look less conspicuous.
"Hey……"
"There's nothing I want in the entire street stall area. It seems like starting tomorrow, I'll have to head straight to the stone carving area. That's where the most possibilities are."
Bai Xi sighed softly. Although she had been prepared for a protracted battle from the very beginning, she still felt a little discouraged and tired after being busy all day without any results.
but.....
Bai Xi glanced at the task panel.
Mission Name: The Splendor of the Ming Dynasty
[Grade: Priceless Treasure]
[Task deadline: None]
[Mission Reward: National Fortune Improvement]
[Task Tip: 49:50:49 (Panjiayuan)]
After she arrived at Panjiayuan, the system's task prompt changed to the current countdown.
Bai Xi pondered it for a moment and roughly understood what System Overlord meant.
The above time may mean that during this period, this priceless treasure was in Panjiayuan.
But if the time is exceeded, it is unknown whether this priceless treasure will disappear, causing her mission to fail, or be transferred to another location.
Of course, she didn't want to gamble. A reward of the national destiny level must not be a common thing.
Fortunately, there was still time. Bai Xi quickly calmed down, picked up the computer at hand, and began to search for relevant information about the history of the Ming Dynasty and the methods of hiding and disguising cultural relics.
About ten minutes later, the car arrived at the hotel and Bai Xi got out of the car.
This was the closest five-star hotel to Panjiayuan. Bai Xi came down with his computer and headed straight inside. He said to Xiao Rui, "Notify Guo Jianhua to meet at Panjiayuan at 8:00 tomorrow morning. We'll go in as soon as the market opens."
"Okay, miss."
"I'll let him know immediately."
