To be honest, Zhang Tie really didn’t have any intention of getting rich while wandering around in those ruins. He was just pretending to be a pioneer for so long. After he really came to these ruins, he came with some curiosity. , just wanted to see if I could find something.
If you can find it, that's the best. If you can't, that's okay. Because the process of searching for treasures in the ruins itself has a huge temptation.
Zhang Tie remembers that when he was working in a grocery store, Tang De would often pile up some random things and put them in piles for sale in the grocery store. Occasionally, he would put one or two items in the pile that were slightly valuable. It is this kind of business method that makes little money, but it often has unexpected sales results. Tang De said that this is the fun of Taobao.
Many times, if something is put in front of you for you to take, you may not be interested. But if it is hidden or you get it unexpectedly, the joy may leave a very deep impression on you. image.
The most exciting thing about the pioneer profession, and one of the most important reasons why so many people join in, is the excitement brought by hunting for treasure in the ruins. This kind of treasure hunt may just allow you to find something worth a few pennies, or it may make you rich overnight. It is precisely because of this uncertainty that it is particularly attractive.
It’s not like no one has thought about excavating the ruins these days, but if one person does it, there may be no results for months, and most of the supplies brought underground cannot last for such a long time, and if If there were more people, it would be just a small building between two buildings. It was hard to tell what was inside. The risk would be too great and there would be huge differences of opinion.
What's more important is that this ruins now has many opportunities to obtain things and make a fortune without having to expend so much effort. Moreover, the bank vault in this city has not been discovered yet. At this time, it would be too foolish to invest a lot of effort in excavating a small building buried in the ruins with uncertain profits. Based on the experience of the pioneers, the bank vault was such an important place before the Cataclysm. Definitely not in such a small building.
If it is in the later stage, when there is really not much money to be made in other places, maybe some pioneers will join forces to try, but at this moment, except for Zhang Tie, there are really not many others who want to work together. Try to see if you can make a fortune here.
Seeing Zhang Tie digging there, Sam and Gerry didn't move. It's not that they don't want to move, it's that the weight and volume of those ruins can easily reach hundreds of kilograms, which is completely beyond their capabilities.
And Zhang Tie's speed is too fast, if the two of them go up. Not only can it not help Zhang Tie, but it will also hinder Zhang Tie's efficiency.
"Bah... Bah... Bah..." Because he was unprepared, when the large amount of dust fell, it immediately covered Zhang Tie's head and face. Zhang Tie shook the dust from his hair and backed away. While spitting out the unclean things in his mouth, he waited for the hole to return to peace.
After only a few dozen seconds, the piece of dust became clear.
The wall where this hole is located is on the second floor of the ruined building, and the floors above the second floor of the ruined building. They have all been dumped down and turned into a pile of building rubble. Together with other rubbish, the entire first to second floors were completely buried. Although the second and first floors were also partially damaged and collapsed, almost half of them were still there. The room was not completely affected, and the things in the room could be seen to be fairly well preserved.
Seeing the opening of this building, it was like a mysterious door opened by Zhang Tie in a rough and brutal way. It seemed to be full of unspeakable temptations, and the pioneers who were watching around couldn't help but move forward. Take a step.
"What, do you want to pick peaches at this time?" Zhang Tie looked at the pioneers with a sneer, and fiercely thrust the five- to six-hundred-kilogram I-beam in front of him like a wooden stake. among the pile of ruins.
Zhang Tie's hand was very strong this time, and the three-meter-long I-beam suddenly made a pop and sank almost a meter into the ground.
Thinking of the terrifying power Zhang Tie had just shown, the pioneers were startled and stopped for a moment.
Zhang Tie glanced at the faces of the pioneers with indifferent eyes. Many of these pioneers should have stayed here for a long time and have never returned to the place until now. Therefore, they do not care about it at all. Know yourself. Zhang Tie knew very well the virtues of these pioneers. In the face of strong power, these guys would behave well and obey the rules, but in front of the weak, they might become as ferocious as jackals.
"Sem, Gerry, come here, let's go in and take a look together!" Seeing that the others were restrained, Zhang Tie waved to Sem Yegeli.
Sam and Gerry walked over together, both of them wide-eyed. Although they had heard about Zhang Tie's amazing performance on the day when the tribal alliance seized the ruins canyon, because they had never seen it, the two of them were somewhat confused. Suspect, apart from rushing, they encountered nothing else along the way, and there was no chance for Zhang Tie to show off his skills, so it was not until this moment that the two of them discovered Zhang Tie's terror.
In the minds of two people, it is absolutely impossible for one person to complete a huge project in four or five hours. Zhang Tie just finished it in front of the two of them. When they think of Zhang Tie's powerful body like a tyrannosaurus, , both Gerry and Sam felt a little bit like they were in a dream - is this Peter? Is he the guy who lives in the same cabin as him on the Aurora? It seems that he hasn’t discovered this terrifying power at that time. Could it be that he has been hiding his clumsiness...
"What level are you... at?"
As soon as Gerry opened his mouth, Zhang Tie rolled his eyes. He had no idea how much his performance had stimulated the "young minds" of Sam and Gerry.
"Does my level matter?" Zhang Tie glanced at the onlookers beside him. He didn't want to make more limelight here. At this moment, even in the tribal alliance, there are almost no people who can really know his level. Aurora Seton and Seton had always thought he was level nine, but since the death game, both of them were a little unsure. More people regard Zhang Tie as a five-star strong warrior, even if they mistake Zhang Tie for a combat master level. Not nothing.
Zhang Tie's question made Sam and Gerry look at each other, and then shook their heads at each other.
"Then it's over. We'll discuss this issue later. Now let's go in together and see what's inside!" Zhang Tie laughed.
"According to the rules of the pioneers, you opened this place alone. Before you complete the search for this place, neither Gerry nor I can enter!" Sam said honestly.
"What bullshit rules? We are together. If I let you go in together, are you afraid of what others will say?"
"That's fine. Sam and I will go in with you to take a look, so that you don't miss anything! I'll do you a favor!" Compared to Sam's honesty, Gerry is quite smart.
"Okay, if there is something inside, you can pick one at will. If not, forget it. Just go in with me and go shopping!" Zhang Tie said casually.
Hearing what Zhang Tie said, Sam and Gerry both nodded.
Finally, after taking a look at the eager pioneers around me. Zhang Tie didn't say much else, turned around and walked into the hole he had dug out of the wall with the fluorite lamp.
The hole was half a person's height, and you had to lower your head and bend your waist to get in.
Under the green light of the fluorite lamp, everything in the room was coated with a strange green color, and the things in the room were already very messy. There was a thick layer of dust everywhere. Under Zhang Tie's dark vision, everything in the room was invisible. Except for a few chairs and a broken table, there seemed to be nothing else here. , and at the top of the room, a large piece of abrupt and sharp building ruins smashed through the solid load-bearing floor of the roof, and a small part of it penetrated from above, revealing some naked steel bars.
From this huge piece of building material, Zhang Tie could imagine what happened here on the day of the catastrophe. Fortunately, the construction quality of this building was not bad. Although the upper building collapsed, the two floors below were fine.
There was a click, Zhang Tie lowered his head, and realized that he had only paid attention to his surroundings, not his feet. In the thick dust under his feet, a body fell to the ground, and the skeleton's hand bones were lifted up. He broke it with one foot.
If you were timid, you would almost scream in fright, but when Zhang Tie looked at the skeleton, he felt like looking at the fossil of an animal, and it could no longer cause the slightest fluctuation in his heart.
"Wait a minute..." Zhang Tiegang wanted to walk away, but found that Gerry had already walked over. He groped on the ground carefully.
Zhang Tie saw Gerry groping on the two palms of the skeleton, then picked up a ring with a smile on his face, wiped the ring on his body very skillfully, and then weighed it in front of his eyes. took a look.
"Platinum ring, set with diamonds, ha... ha... good luck!" As he spoke, Gerry handed over the ring.
This kind of jewelry before the cataclysm is not ordinary, nor is it precious. The price of these jewelry before the cataclysm of the same material and quality can be sold for more than three times the price of jewelry made in this era. Things like diamonds Before the Cataclysm, it was the most expensive gem. In this era, with the exploration and development of the inner earth world by humans, a large number of diamonds have been discovered. The value of diamonds is no longer as outrageous as before the Cataclysm, and can only be regarded as ordinary. of gems.
"You take it first, and we'll talk about it later!" Zhang Tie said with a smile. Although the value of this ring was not high to him, maybe only a hundred or ten gold coins, Zhang Tie was very happy.
After carefully searching the room and finding that there was indeed nothing valuable in the room, the three of them came to another room.
The door connecting the two rooms only had a metal frame left, and there were large pieces of glass on the ground.
Like the room Zhang Tie entered just now, the layout of this room is also very simple. There is not much furniture here, and it looks a bit like a high-end business reception place or conference room. There are a few paintings hanging on the walls here, but they are all decayed. It's unbearable. Like the sofa in the room, its original appearance has long been lost. There are also several items and handicrafts that seemed to have been placed in the room for decoration. They are also scattered on the ground. Many of them have been damaged, but there are still a few pieces. Special artefacts made of metal have been preserved.
"Peter, come here and see..." Sam's voice already revealed a huge sense of excitement at this time.
Zhang Tie walked over and found that Sam was holding a one-foot-tall black vase-like object. He was wiping it with the sleeves of his clothes without any care. As the wiping action accelerated, Sam's face The movements are getting more and more exciting.
"It seems... It seems like something from the East..." Sam swallowed hard, and then handed the thing to Gerry, "Look..."
"This style is a bit similar, but I have never encountered such precious goods from the East, so..." Grid looked at it over and over solemnly, a little unsure, "And this bottle seems to be made of copper, but The colors of these patterns are strange. It seems that they are not painted but inlaid, but why are they so flat? It seems to be a special manufacturing process."
"Let me see..." Zhang Tie took the vase-like thing over and, following Sam's example, wiped it vigorously with the sleeves of his own clothes. Under Zhang Tie's wiping, the dark purple The bottle body gradually became clearer. On the bottle body, there was a very bright and prosperous flower pattern. Just above the pattern, a Chinese character "福" with silver metallic luster gradually became clearer. .
"This is indeed a work of art from the East..." Zhang Tie said to Sam and Gerry with certainty.
"how do you know?"
"This is a Chinese font, which means luck, wealth and perfection. It is an auspicious symbol among the Chinese!"
Hearing what Zhang Tie said, both Gerry and Sam became a little excited.
"What's wrong?"
"This is happening!"
"This is just a piece of art. It shouldn't be more valuable than the one you took out last time, right?" Zhang Tie said doubtfully.
"Don't you know, these artworks from the Eastern Chinese before the great catastrophe are very valuable. If they can be confirmed to be authentic, many wealthy Chinese people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy these things back. This is The most sought-after items in the cultural relics market and auction houses." Gerry took a deep breath and said to Zhang Tie.
"Then let's take a look. If we can find a few more, each of you can choose one..."
There are still six rooms upstairs that can be searched. After searching all the rooms upstairs, there are only three vases that seem to be made of the same copper material. They were all found in the same room. The three vases have the same style and are well preserved. The Chinese characters left on them are the three characters "福", "福" and " longevity" respectively. They should be a complete set...
You can also find Chinese cultural relics from before the Catastrophe here. Although I don’t know how much these things can sell for, Zhang Tie is already very happy. This is the fun of Taobao.
After searching the second floor, the three people followed the stairs to the first floor. There were not many rooms on the first floor. It looked like a hall. The situation in the hall was much better than upstairs. Except for some dust, there were very few debris. , there are rows of counters placed all around the hall. After almost 900 years of changes, those counters are still intact and tightly closed.
Looking at those counters, Zhang Tie thought of the grocery store he had stayed in. To be fair, even in the past few thousand years, the counters and windows used to display goods in human stores have basically not changed in essence.
Zhang Tie walked to the counter closest to him and wiped the thick dust on the counter twice with his hand. The things inside the counter were revealed. Looking at the things on the counter, Zhang Tie's eyes widened in shock. mouth…
When he was upstairs, Zhang Tie had some hunch when he saw the three vases with distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics. The boss here might be Chinese or the business here is Chinese. Unexpectedly, it was really Zhang Tie guessed it right...
