The next day, Xing Mo and Lin Luo got up early, took the shuttle, and headed for Felicity.
Before coming here, Lin Luo did some homework on Starnet and learned some basic knowledge about Planet Feli.
Feli Star is a relatively small planet, where it rains all year round, there are a lot of rivers and lakes, so the weather is relatively cold and humid, and the air quality cannot be compared with Kippola Star, but this planet produces a very unique The half-mountain and half-water wool.
This kind of half-mountain and half-water wool usually comes from mountains, and then washed by rainwater and washed into rivers. These wools are soaked in river water for different lengths of time, and the shells of the wools behave differently. Like those wools that have been fully honed by the river, they have a thin shell and a smooth surface, and it is easier to produce better quality jadeite.
When they got off the shuttle ship, there was a hover car they reserved waiting.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Stone Gambling Market on Feilixing. Different from the well-ordered street of shops on Gambling Stone Street in Kippola Star, this big market is built in an antique shed, and all wool merchants set up stalls in every corner in twos and threes, which looks a bit very messy.
The owners of the stalls here are all natives of Feli Star. They dug up the woolen materials from the mountains or the water by themselves, and they make money by selling more or less.
Because half-mountain and half-water wool is easy to produce good jadeite, the price is very high. There are still many shop owners who are bored and even directly unpack a piece for fun, so there are also many stalls that sell bright materials.
"Look! It's an energy engineer!" A passer-by pointed to a man wearing black clothes not far away and wearing a badge of thorns on his chest.
Because occasionally there are some very good emerald materials here, no matter if they are speculators, supernatural powers or energy masters, they will come here to try their luck.
The energy engineer was negotiating with the owner of a stall for a piece of emerald green material from the hibiscus plant. The energy engineer needs to constantly exercise his mental power to make progress.
Energy masters are generally not short of money, they can sell energy liquid and elemental liquid in exchange for money.
Therefore, they are unwilling to waste time betting on stones, and prefer to directly buy jadeite materials with reasonable prices.
The two of them didn't pay too much attention to this energy engineer, and the energy engineers who would appear in the stone gambling market by themselves were generally junior energy engineers. Intermediate and high-level energy masters are very sought-after, almost all of them are vying for employment from various forces, so there is no need to worry about the source of emeralds, and only these newcomers who have just obtained the qualification of energy masters will come here to buy by themselves.
Lin Luo didn't need to waste time wandering around in the Gambling Stone Market, he just squatted down in front of a stall and began to carefully examine the woolen materials on the ground.
It's just that he seems to be unlucky today. He touched all the pieces, but he couldn't find a piece of wool that he wanted.
It's not that there isn't even a single piece of wool that can bet on jadeite in this booth, but that it didn't meet Lin Luo's psychological expectations.
After these days of pondering, Lin Luo has initially mastered his own special ability. He can see the energy light emitted by the emerald inside through the wool. The darker the color, the stronger the energy of the element, and the brighter the light, it means good water head and sufficient energy.
The light in the wool on this booth is relatively dim, which means that the quality of the jade inside is not much better, and there is very little energy that can be extracted.
The woolen materials he selected today are all intended to be untied and then sent to Yin’s Auction House to participate in the auction the day after tomorrow, so he doesn’t consider the poor quality ones. He only wants to find ones that are above the oily green ones, or those that are of good color. emerald.
He went to the second booth again, but still felt a little disappointed. There were one or two pieces of woolen cloth with good brightness, but the color was very light, and the value was not high.
Until the third booth, Lin Luo saw a piece of olive-shaped wool with a very unique shape at a glance. This piece of wool is quite big, at least a dozen or twenty catties.
This piece of wool is made of yam husk, slightly yellow in color, and the husk is uneven, it looks a bit like yam.
Lin Luo didn't reach out to touch it immediately, but observed with the naked eye, and he found that the wool was in good condition from the surface. Although there are several inlaid skin locks, these cracks usually only float on the surface and have little effect on the jadeite inside.
At the bottom of the wool, there is also a gray-white python belt. It is difficult to find this kind of python belt on the light yellow leather wool, but Lin Luo has animal genes, and all five senses are stronger than ordinary humans. So I soon discovered this unremarkable python belt.
Lin Luo remembers the video saying that the appearance of the python belt likely indicated that it was colored inside. If there are pine flowers at the same time, the probability of colored jadeite appearing inside is even greater.
Lin Luo searched carefully, and he really found a few dotted pine flowers. He thought this piece of wool was worth a gamble.
After knowing it in his mind, Lin Luo put his hand on the wool and began to try to sense the energy in the wool.
The next moment, he saw a bright lavender halo emanating from the inside of the wool.
Lin Luo's breathing suddenly became short of breath. He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked the stall owner for the price.
"Boss, how do you sell this piece of wool?"
The boss saw that Lin Luo had stared at the piece of wool for a long time before asking the price, and thought that he should be more optimistic about the piece of wool, and estimated that the business would be successful, so he offered a more realistic price in his opinion, "Second One hundred and fifty thousand."
Lin Luo turned his head to look at Xing Mo, and after Xing Mo nodded, he smiled and said to the boss, "Deal!"
The two parties pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, which is very straightforward.
Seeing that the business was completed so quickly, the shop owner was also very happy. He said to Lin Luo, "Little brother, do you want to unpack your wool here? I won't charge you."
As he spoke, he pointed to a corner diagonally behind. There was a portable stone-dissolving machine over there, which should belong to the shop owner himself.
Lin Luo thought for a while, the color of this piece of emerald should not look very dark, and it probably wouldn't cause too much commotion, so he replied with a smile, "Okay, let's solve it here."
The owner of the store enthusiastically helped Lin Luo pick up the woolen material, took it to the side of the stone machine, and helped him put the woolen material on the shelf. Start to operate this stone dissolving machine.
Lin Luo didn't waste time rubbing the stone, and directly changed the chrome knife, aiming at the gray-white python belt and cutting down.
After the knife was cut, Xing Mo helped him splash water on the cut surface, and then the shop owner cheered, "It's foggy! It's foggy!"
It is generally a good sign that white mist comes out of cutting stones, and nine times out of ten it will be green. If Lin Luo's betting goes up, it will also help his business, so the owner of this shop is so happy.
Lin Luo changed into a grinding wheel, aimed at the part of the white mist and began to rub the stone. He didn't want to continue cutting in. Such a good emerald, even if it is damaged, it would be a waste.
People who like to gamble on rocks like to watch stones. Many people around were attracted by the movement here. After a while, Lin Luo and the others were surrounded tightly.
The white mist layer was gradually wiped away by the grinding wheel, and the wiped window revealed a layer of light pink.
"What color is this? How strange?"
"Is this pink?"
"Looking at the head of the water, it seems to be pretty good..."
People around were talking about it, but no one bid. After all, a price increase is not a price increase, and the color exposed by this window is really strange, how could it be pink? With such a light color, how much energy liquid can be extracted
With the help of Xing Mo, Lin Luo changed the angle of the wool and continued rubbing the stone. After wiping away all the windows that could be wiped off, Lin Luo replaced it with a chrome knife again.
This piece of wool is too big. It is obviously unrealistic to wipe out the jade inside by rubbing stones. It is more convenient to cut the stone. Anyway, he has already wiped out the rough outline of the jade. Be careful when cutting , it is not easy to hurt the emerald.
"This emerald should be a kind of green jadeite, and its energy is good. It's this color..." A person shook his head seriously, "I don't think it can be sold at any price."
As the cuts were made one after another, the emerald wrapped in the stone layer finally revealed the true face of Lushan Mountain. This piece of jade turned out to be in the shape of a peach, with a little point at the top and a smoother bottom, plus it was pink, making it look like a tender peach.
After more than ten minutes, the peach-like jade was finally completely unwrapped. It weighed about three catties and looked very cute.
"This, this, this..." Suddenly someone pointed at the jade in Lin Luo's hand as if he had seen a ghost.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Purple, violet..."
"Violet? It's pink, not purple at all, hahaha..." The man smiled and froze suddenly.
Violet is a kind of purple emerald, named for its color resembling the violet flowers of the ancient earth period, this purple is generally light. Purple is subdivided into various colors according to the hue and depth, and there seems to be a type of purple with a slight pink in it.
"Pink purple...? It's pink purple!"
If it's just pink, it's really a garbage color that no one wants. It is estimated that the fire element that can be extracted is pitifully small. But purple jadeite is really rare, even if it only has a little purple pink and purple, it is a very rare good thing...
"Little brother! I'll offer half a million! How about selling this piece of jade to me?!" A slightly fat man squeezed in from the outside and bid loudly.
Purple emerald is a priceless good thing, many people with lightning abilities can't ask for it, and they are willing to do so because of the high price!
"I'll offer five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
The price soared all the way, and the slightly fat man bid the most vigorously.
However, Lin Luo didn't intend to sell this piece of jade. No matter how high the price these people offered, it would be useless. So he shook his head and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, we have a use for this piece of jade, and we don't plan to sell it to the outside world at the moment."
"Don't! Little brother, I'm very sincere! Like this! I'll offer one million! How about you just sell it to me?!" The fat man still insisted on calling out a high price.
Lin Luo frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, it's not for sale."
"One million is already a very high price! Don't be greedy!" The fat man's expression became fierce, "Do you know who I am?"
Xing Mo laughed angrily, stepped forward and said, "Then do you know who you are talking to?"
The man's eyes flickered for a long time, and finally said, "I am the Fu family! You sell me this piece of jade! Our Fu family owes you a favor!"
Xing Mo snorted, too lazy to talk to this man, he directly turned on the optical brain, selected Yin Ye's communication number, and initiated a communication request.
The communication was quickly connected, and Yin Ye, who had a dark and cold face, appeared on the screen, with a bit of impatience in his tone, "Say."
Xing Mo was also unambiguous, and directly raised the jade in his hand, "I found a piece of violet for you."
Seeing the jade in his palm, the man's frowning brows slowly relaxed, "Thank you."
"But there is someone who wants to buy by force." Xing Mo said, pointing in the direction of the fat man.
Yin Ye's cold, knife-like gaze immediately slashed at the man. The man's face turned pale with fright. In the empire, anyone with dignity knows Yin Ye. He never imagined that these two people would be like each other. Yin Ye's people!
"Yes, I'm sorry...it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..." The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and ran away with oil on his feet.
Satisfied, Xing Mo put the jade into the space button, and said to Yin Ye, "I'll give it to you when I get back."
Yin Ye nodded towards him and ended the communication.
The crowd around also dispersed quickly, and no one dared to think about that piece of emerald, it belonged to that young master of the Yin family!
However, the shop owner's booth was immediately surrounded by a turbulent crowd, and the better-looking woolen materials were rushed to buy, making the shop owner laugh so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.
Xing Mo and Lin Luo successfully pretended to be powerful once, and continued to stroll around the market in a relaxed mood.
This time, Lin Luo took a fancy to a piece of bamboo shoot shell wool, which is yellowish-white in color, the same as the bamboo shoot leaves, so it is called bamboo shoot shell. This kind of wool is usually very thin, and the jadeite inside is also relatively ordinary. through.
Because of the thin skin, this piece of wool can be seen from the surface with a hint of green from the inside, so the shop owner also sold this piece of wool as a half-gambling wool, and offered a high price of 400,000 yuan.
Lin Luo used his special ability to 'see' the condition of the emerald inside. Judging by the brightness and color, it should be a waxy green onion. But because the size of this piece of wool itself is not large, the size of the jadeite that can be opened is relatively limited, and the value of the opened one is about four to five million yuan, and there is almost no profit.
When Lin Luo was hesitating whether to buy this piece of jade, a young man suddenly squeezed beside him, grabbed the wool from his hand, and said to the shopkeeper, "I want this piece of wool!"
"What are you doing?!" Xing Mo supported Lin Luo, and angrily looked at the man who appeared out of nowhere.
"I'm just buying wool. Since you don't want to buy it, why don't you let me buy it?" The man sneered and looked at the shop owner. "Isn't it only 400,000 yuan? I want it!"
Xing Mo glanced at Lin Luo, Lin Luo shook his head slightly towards him, Xing Mo did not bid to compete with this man.
The shop owner was also very impatient seeing Lin Luo's hesitation. Since someone was willing to buy it, he was naturally willing to do so, and immediately made a transfer transaction with that person.
The man glanced at Lin Luo triumphantly, and left with the wool.
Lin Luo was baffled by this man. Although he didn't really want this piece of wool, he didn't want to be snatched from him. He was somewhat unhappy, and the shop owner didn't like it. Then he turned his head and went to the booth next door.
This booth is actually a bit strange. In such a large area, there is only a huge piece of wool from the skin of pineapple, which seems to weigh forty to fifty kilograms.
The jade in the pineapple shell has a high color content, and it is easy to produce high jade, but such a large piece of pineapple shell wool is very rare. Also because it is too big, the leather shell of this piece of wool is not so thin, so not to mention the python belt, even the pine flower can't be seen at all.
Such wool is too risky to gamble on, and the people who come basically just take a look and leave.
The stall owner was even more strange. He was only about ten years old, wearing some rough clothes, and he was so skinny. He didn't seem to have much energy.
Lin Luo didn't mind, no matter how thick the leather shell was, it didn't make any difference to him who had special abilities. He squatted in front of the booth and began to carefully check the performance of this piece of wool.
However, as soon as his hands touched the surface of the wool, he felt that he was about to be blinded by the light emanating from the inside of the wool.
It was a bright yellow halo, very bright, indicating that the energy contained in it was very powerful, and it could definitely produce good jadeite.
Lin Luo immediately made up his mind that no matter what the price of this piece of wool is, he will buy it immediately.
"Hello, how do you sell this piece of wool?" Lin Luo looked at the child and asked gently.
The child was taken aback for a moment, then met Lin Luo's gaze, and he said uncertainly, "Two, two million..."
"Hahaha, two million?! Are you crazy about money? Why don't you just grab it!" Before Lin Luo could speak, the owner of the stall next to him laughed out loud, "Little brother, you But don't blame me for not telling you, this broken stone was dug out from the mountain by his grandfather, and he failed to sell it after selling it for more than half a year. They haven't come back yet, the whole family probably made a fortune from this stone! Be careful, don't be tricked by him!"
The child was robbed by the shopkeeper, his little face turned pale, and tears began to roll in his eyes. He choked up and argued for himself, "I, I didn't lie, grandpa said this piece of wool is very valuable. of… "
Lin Luo had a bad impression of the shopkeeper because of the robbery just now, so he ignored his words and comforted the child.
It seems that the child is really in trouble at home. Two million is indeed a bit too high for such an ordinary piece of wool, but Lin Luo knows that this piece of wool is worth so much money, because the inside There are really good emeralds.
Lin Luo continued to ask in a gentle tone, "Did your grandfather tell you the price of the two million yuan, or did you set it yourself?"
The child opened a pair of wet eyes and said, "I decided it myself... Grandpa's leg is broken, and the doctor said it would cost two million... Otherwise, grandpa's leg will have to be cut off... I only have grandpa, and grandpa can't live without legs." ... woo woo woo..."
Lin Luo couldn't help feeling pity for him, he looked at Xing Mo hesitantly, and said, "Brother Xing..."
Xing Mo reached out and touched Lin Luo's head, then looked at the child and said, "Two million, we bought it."
"Really, really?" The child's eyes widened in disbelief, his small mouth was slightly opened, and the tears in his eyes seemed to be lingering, looking a little cute.
Lin Luo's heart softened a bit, and he reached out to wipe away the child's tears, "It's true."
The child cheered, and immediately turned on the older optical computer on his wrist, and made a transfer transaction with Xing Mo. The money arrived in the account soon, and the ownership of the piece of wool also belonged to Lin Luo.
"Thank you brother!" A smile appeared on the child's face. He took Lin Luo's hand and shook it, "Brother, I really didn't lie. Grandpa said that this piece of wool will definitely produce good jadeite."
"I know." Lin Luo smiled and pinched his cheek.
Although in the eyes of others, Lin Luo is simply a fool. He spent two million to buy a piece of wool with such poor performance. He is simply a sympathetic fool.
The shopkeeper next door just sneered and didn't bother to look at them again.
"Brother, do you want to interpret the stone? Over there is Uncle Huang's stone interpreter. Uncle Huang is very good. I can take you to his place to interpret the stone." The child pointed in one direction.
Coincidentally, that was the same store where Lin Luo opened the Violet Jade before.
"Okay, thank you."
This piece of wool is really too big, and Xing Mo's space button has limited space, so there is no room for this piece of wool. It seems that they really need to untie it here.
Lin Luo and Xing Mo worked together to lift the huge piece of wool, followed the child, and walked towards the stall of the previous shopkeeper.
When the stall owner surnamed Huang saw the child, he showed a kind smile, took out a nutrient solution suitable for the child's taste from his pocket, and handed it to him, "Why is the little fish here?"
"My two elder brothers bought my stones. Can Uncle Huang ask my elder brother to dissect the stones here?"
Shopkeeper Huang was taken aback, and looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw two people carrying Xiaoyu's precious big rock.
"It's you..." Shopkeeper Huang recognized Lin Luo and Xing Molai, and nodded towards them with complicated eyes, "This child is not easy, thank you all."
He also thought that Lin Luo and Xing Mo bought this piece of wool just out of good intentions.
Lin Luo smiled back at him, the shopkeeper Huang is still very nice.
"Oh, look at me, I asked you to stand here with such a heavy woolen material, it really shouldn't be, come here, come over here and explain the stone!" Shopkeeper Huang hurriedly greeted the two of them to the previous stone-extracting machine next to the machine.
And not far from this stone-breaking machine, there is another stone-breaking machine in operation. The one who is doing stone-breaking is the young man who snatched the piece of green emerald from Lin Luo before. That man There are several pieces of wool piled under the feet, and the performance looks pretty good. It seems that it is not bad for money.
