"Sorry, the crystal energy is only 250 points, and the system functions cannot be enabled."

In an undergraduate dormitory at Huachang University of Geosciences, Song Tao was carefully looking at the silver-white steel bracelet worn on his right wrist.

The sound that prompted insufficient energy just now came from this steel bracelet.

Half a year ago, Song Tao obtained this system hidden in the steel bracelet in a daze. At that time, he thought he could use the system to turn over, make a fortune, and reach the peak of his life like in online novels.

Unexpectedly, his system kept prompting him to absorb enough gems to turn on.

As a famous "slum boy" in gemology major, Song Tao's mineral logo and gem samples were all saved by saving money for more than three years, and each one was his heart.

This semester, he has put more than ten gems into the steel bracelet, allowing the system to swallow and absorb. However, the prompts he gets every time is insufficient energy, and he still doesn't know what functions this system has.

Although he still gained nothing so far, whenever he remembered the protagonists in the novel who had achieved success in the system, he still reluctantly gave up his gems into the system.

It was a sunny morning, and Song Tao took advantage of the absence of his roommate and started doing this indescribable thing again.

He took out a gem storage box of similar size to A4 paper from the drawer. After opening the box, he saw a dazzling array of stones lying quietly in the small square in the iron box.

Song Tao looked at the small stones he collected with satisfaction, and whispered their varieties: "Silica magnesium stone, golden green cat's eye stone, magnesium column crystal stone..."

At present, nearly half of the small grids in the storage box are empty, and it is obvious that the disappeared gems have been fed to the insatiable system.

Looking at the empty box, Song Tao gritted his teeth: "This time I'll just have a big one. If it can't be turned on, don't blame me for throwing your broken system into the Huangpu River."

After hesitating for a long time, Song Tao finally set his sights on a pink tourmaline in the center of the gem storage box.

Tourmaline, also known as tourmaline, is relatively common on the market and its price is a mid-range gem.

Although this pink tourmaline has excellent clarity and beautiful colors, and is the most beautiful among these gems, the remaining gems are basically rare varieties that Song Tao has obtained through hardships, so he could only bear the pain of giving up and choose to sacrifice this tourmaline.

Song Tao took out the pink tourmaline the size of a thumbnail and placed it on the circular clamp in the center of the steel bracelet.

A faint blue light quickly emerged from the base of the slot. The tourmaline melted away quickly under the blue light as if it was encountered with high temperature ice.

Looking at the dazzling tourmalines as usual as those gems, they disappeared without a trace after a few breaths, Song Tao felt extremely distressed. The feeling was like his beautiful wife was snatched by someone else.

However, I feel sorry for my heart. After the system swallowed the tourmaline, the steel bracelet suddenly began to vibrate slightly. This has never happened before, which made Song Tao suddenly excited.

"Is there a chance this time?"

However, the prompt sound of the system sounded again quickly extinguished his hope: "Crystal energy + 70, the existing energy value is 320, and 180 crystal energy is still needed before the system is turned on."

"The system crystal energy is still insufficient, please continue to inject it without stopping."

Hearing this, Song Tao finally couldn't help but start to complain wildly: "What kind of trick is this? Other people's system is giving money, and my broken system is going to cheat my family's assets."

The pink tourmaline that was absorbed by the system just now weighed eight carats. At that time, he spent more than 6,000 yuan to buy it, which was enough to make up for his three-month living expenses, and it actually only provided 70 points of crystal energy.

After counting this, it takes a gem worth 20,000 yuan to enable this system, and it is not enough to invest all the remaining assets of his property.

He is a senior student who has not yet participated in the internship. Where can he get a gem worth 20,000 yuan?

"Forget it, don't worry about it for now. The day is long, and it will be too late to open it later."

Song Tao put the steel bracelet back on his hand, unbuttoned the screensaver on his phone and looked at the time. It was already 10:30 in the morning. There was a jewelry exhibition in the city today. He had planned to join in the fun before.

After packing his schoolbag, he went to the school cafeteria to finish lunch in advance and took the subway to the exhibition location.

The subway in Huachang City has been built to Line 23, but it still cannot alleviate the increasingly astonishing passenger volume. Song Tao only felt that he was squeezed and almost lost consciousness. After finally getting off the bus, he quickly found his destination.

The jewelry exhibition was held on the first to third floors of Wanda Plaza. It is called the exhibition in name, and is essentially just a gem wholesale market with neat goods.

Of course, this is just the definition made by Song Tao himself.

His major is gemology, so I don’t know how many times he has seen similar exhibitions of all sizes. After watching them for a while, he found that although the exhibition is large in scale and the location is spacious and bright, the gems taken out by the exhibitor wholesalers are really nothing amazing.

Song Tao sighed in disappointment: "It's flashy and unreal, it's a waste of time."

After wandering around aimlessly for a long time, Song Tao suddenly attracted the attention of a small booth around the corner.

I saw more than twenty bright and bright green gems on display at the booth. They could be seen flashing with gems a few meters away, like green neon lights.

Song Tao recognized their varieties at a glance: "Shafury Stone!"

There are not many types of famous green gems in the world. Jade produced in Myanmar and Hotan jasper on the frontiers in China are more popular in East Asia.

If you look at the whole world, the most recognized emerald is emerald, followed by this shaffry stone.

Shafrey stone, also known as chromium vanadium calcium aluminum garnet, actually belongs to the shabby garnet family in mineralogy, but due to its scarce reserves and years of marketing by world giant jewelers, its price has soared all the way in the past two years, catching up with emeralds.

If Shaphrey was asked to express a speech to his poor garnet relatives, it would definitely be:

Flowers bloom for hundreds of days, and the fairy is different from the chicken!

Although this booth with Shaftley stone exhibited is not big, the quality is amazing. The largest one is close to seven carats and the smallest one is two carats.

All of these stones are bright in color, clean inside, and are of the best quality. The price is also very expensive, ranging from 20,000 to 200,000 yuan, and there is a stack of appraisal certificates next to it.

The stall owner of this booth is talking to a fat businessman.

"You just have ten thousand hearts. We sent each stone to the quality inspection center of Huachang Dida for appraisal. One stone is given one certificate. But can you trust me?

After a long time, the fat businessman observed a shaffry stone in front of him, he took back the jewelry magnifying glass: "The quality is indeed good, the clarity, cutting, fire color and color are not to be chosen, it is just a little expensive."

"You are just joking. The top three carats Shafury is only 46,000 yuan. Apart from me, how can you get such a cheap product? If you switch to the market for retail sales, you can earn at least 10,000 yuan."

After pondering for a while, the fat businessman finally made up his mind: "Then let's just put this one, wrap the certificate and the stone together, and I'll transfer the money to you directly."

......

Most people may find it a bit sloppy when seeing this scene, but for jewelry merchants, most transactions are paid in person after inspection.

People who dare to come here to purchase goods have absolute confidence in their own eyesight, not to mention that there is an appraisal certificate from an authoritative organization, so there may be very little problems.

Seeing that they had finished the negotiations, Song Tao also came over to appreciate the top shafrey stones. It is said that if you have seen them, you can own them. Even if you can't afford them, you can enjoy your eyes.

However, after the stall owner noticed Song Tao who came over, he became alert for some reason and waved his hand impatiently at him: "Go and go, the students don't buy it, why are you joining in the fun?"

Song Tao was stunned for a moment. He had visited so many exhibitions and had never seen a stall owner with such a bad attitude. So he quickly explained with a smile: "Uncle, I am a student from Huachang Di University. Just take a look at the gems, which will not affect your business."

However, after hearing the four words "Huachangdi Da", the stall owner's face became more and more unnatural, and he just urged him to leave.

"Young man, you can't afford it anyway. Don't delay my business, okay?"

Song Tao felt a little confused and muttered in his heart: "Aren't the jewelry exhibition just for people to watch? If you don't let it be, you won't let it be. Why is it so fierce?"

Although he felt a little unhappy after being scolded for a few words, he still cooperated and prepared to leave.

Because the fact is that he really can't afford such expensive gems. Standing in front of the booth will affect business. It is understandable that the stall owner has a bad attitude.

These merchants who rented booths at the exhibition all spent a lot of money. Song Tao only thought that he wanted to sell more goods and did not mind too much.

However, since the stall owner's Shafulai stone was equipped with the appraisal certificate from the quality supervision station of their Huachang Dida University, he paid more attention before leaving.

However, it was this inadvertent glance that he unexpectedly discovered something strange about these identification certificates.

As a student of Huachang Di University, he knows very well about the appraisal certificate issued by our school. At the end of November last year, the new version of the certificate layout was fully launched.

However, the issuance date marked on the stall owner's certificate is already after January this year, but it is still in old-fashioned layout.

Song Tao felt a stern: "It's a false evidence!"

He glanced at the batch of shafrey stones again, and then he realized that the colors of these gems are surprisingly consistent. You should know that the tones of natural gems will be more or less different. The colors of so many stones are exactly the same, and it would be too abnormal to think about it carefully.

Song Tao quickly searched the professional knowledge he had learned in his mind, and the name of an artificial industrial material appeared immediately.
