Chapter 24 Taobao
To be honest, Zhang Tie was struggling in that ruins and didn't have the intention to make a fortune. He was just pretending to be a pioneer who had been so long. After really coming to this ruin, he was curious and wanted to try to find something.
If you can find it, it's best, and if you can't find it, it doesn't matter. Because the process of Taobao in the ruins has a huge temptation.
Zhang Tie remembers that when he was working in a grocery store, Tang De would often pile up some messy things together and put them in piles in the grocery store to sell them. Occasionally, one or two slightly worth a little money in the pile. This is the way of business, but it often has unexpected sales results. Tang De said that this is the fun of Taobao.
Many times, if you put something brightly in front of you and you can pick it up, you may not be interested. If you want to hide it or get it unexpectedly, that kind of joy may leave you a very profound image.
The most exciting thing about the pioneer profession is also the most important reason why many people join in is the stimulation brought by this treasure hunt in the ruins. Such treasure hunt may just allow you to find something worth a few small money, and may also make you rich overnight. It is precisely because of this uncertainty that it is particularly attractive.
There has been no one who has ever tried to excavate the ruins these days, but if you do it alone, it will probably be ineffective for a month. Most individuals cannot last for such a long time for the supplies brought to the underground. If there are more people, it is just a small building between two buildings. It is hard to say what is inside. The risks are too great and the differences in opinions are also big.
More importantly, this ruins do not need to put in such a lot of effort to get things and make a fortune. Moreover, the bank vault of this city has not been discovered yet. At this time, it is really stupid to invest a lot of effort to discover a small building buried in the ruins with undetermined returns. With the experience of pioneers, such an important place in the bank vault before the catastrophe would definitely not be in such a small building.
If it was in the late stage, when there was really not much oil and water in other places, there might be some pioneers joining together to try it, but at this moment, except for Zhang Tie, a young man, there are really few others who want to try it out here if they can make a fortune.
Seeing Zhang Tie digging there, neither Seme nor Gri did move. It was not that they didn't want to move, but that the ruins were weighing hundreds of kilograms, which were completely beyond their ability.
Moreover, Zhang Tie's speed is too fast. If the two of them go up, they will not only not help Zhang Tie's help, but will also drag down Zhang Tie's efficiency.
"Ph...ph...ph..." Because of no precaution, when the pile of dust fell down, Zhang Tie suddenly made his face full of head and face. While slapping the dust on his hair, Zhang Tie stepped back, spit out the unclean things in his mouth, and then waited for the hole to regain tranquility.
Just a few dozen seconds later, the dust became clear.
The wall where the cave entrance is located is the second floor of the ruined building. The floors above the second floor of the ruined building have been dumped. It has turned into a pile of building ruins, and the entire first to second floors are completely buried with other garbage. Although the second and first floors are also partially damaged and collapsed, almost half of the rooms are not completely affected. The things in the room can be roughly seen to be preserved in a relatively complete manner.
Seeing the entrance of the building like a mysterious door opened by Zhang Tie in a rough and barbaric way, it seemed to be full of unspeakable temptation. The pioneers around him couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Why, do you want to pick peaches at this time?" Zhang Tie looked at the pioneers with a sneer, and inserted the I-shaped steel weighing five or six hundred kilograms in his hand into the pile of ruins in front of him like a wooden stake.
Zhang Tie tried very hard to use his hands. The three-meter-long I-shaped steel made a squeak and entered the ground almost one meter at once.
Thinking of the terrifying power that Zhang Tie had just shown, the pioneers were shocked and stopped suddenly.
Zhang Tie swept across the faces of the pioneers with indifferent eyes. Many of these pioneers should have been here for a long time and have not returned to the place so far, so they do not know themselves at all. Zhang Tie is very clear about what kind of virtues these pioneers are. In the face of powerful power, these guys will be very well-behaved and abide by the rules, and in the face of weak people, they may become as vicious as jackals.
"Sem, Gri, come here, let's go in and take a look!" Seeing that the others were shocked, Zhang Tie waved to Sem and Gri.
Seme and Gerry walked over together, and both of them widened their eyes. Although they had heard of Zhang Tie's amazing performance on the day of the tribal alliance seizing the ruins canyon, because they had never seen each other, the two were somewhat suspicious. They had not encountered anything other than rushing along the way, nor did they have the chance to show their skills. So until this moment, the two discovered Zhang Tie's horror.
In the minds of two people, it was absolutely impossible for one person to complete a huge project within four or five hours. Zhang Tie could complete it in front of them. When he thought of the powerful power of Zhang Tie like a tyrannosaurus, Grie and Seme felt a little bit like a dream - is this Peter? The guy who lives in the same cabin with him on the Aurora? It seems that he had not discovered that this guy had such terrifying power at that time. Could it be that he had been hiding his weakness...
"How many levels do you...are?"
As soon as Gerry opened his mouth, Zhang Tie rolled his eyes. He didn't expect how much stimulating his performance just now would be for Seme and Gerry's "young heart".
"Is it important to me at levels?" Zhang Tie glanced at the onlookers next to him, not wanting to show more attention here. At this moment, even in the Horde Alliance, there are almost no one who can really know his level. Olaura and Seton used to think that he was at level 9, but since the Death Game, both of them were a little uncertain. More people regarded Zhang Tie as a five-star strong warrior. Even if they mistakenly thought Zhang Tie as a warrior, there was no one.
Zhang Tie's questions made Seme and Gerry look at each other, then shook their heads.
"Then it's over. We'll discuss this issue later. Now let's go in and see what's inside!" Zhang Tie smiled.
"According to the pioneer's rules, this place was opened by you alone. Before you complete the search for this place, neither Gerry nor I can go in!" Seme said honestly.
"What a bullshit rule? We are together. Are you afraid that others will say anything if I ask you to go in together?"
"Okay, I'll go in with you with Seme and I'll save you from missing something! Even if you do you a favor!" Compared to Seme's honesty, Gri is quite clever.
"Okay, if there is something inside, you can pick one at will. If not, forget it. Just take a look with me in for a walk!" Zhang Tie said casually.
Hearing Zhang Tie say this, Seme and Gri nodded.
Finally, after taking a look at the pioneers around him who were eager to try, Zhang Tie didn't say anything else, turned around and walked into the hole that he had smashed out of the wall with a fluorite lamp.
The hole is half a person tall. You have to lower your head and waist to walk in.
Under the green light of the fluorite lamp, everything in the room was plated with a strange green layer. The things in the room were already very messy, covered with a thick layer of dust everywhere. Under Zhang Tie's dark vision, everything in the room was invisible. There seemed to be nothing else here except a few chairs and a broken table. At the top of the room, a large piece of abrupt and sharp building ruins smashed the solid load-bearing floor of the roof, and half of them were penetrated from above, revealing some exposed steel bars.
From this huge building material, Zhang Tie can imagine what happened here on the day of the catastrophe. Fortunately, the building quality of this building is OK. Although the building above collapsed, the two floors below were fine.
With a click, Zhang Tie lowered his head and realized that he had just looked at the surroundings and did not pay attention to his feet. In the thick dust under his feet, a hand bone that fell to the ground and faced the sky skeleton, suddenly broke him.
If he was a little timid, he would almost be frightened and screamed. However, at this time, Zhang Tie looked at the skeleton and felt like he was looking at an animal's fossil, which could no longer cause any more heart turmoil.
"Wait a minute..." Zhang Tie was about to walk away, but found that Gerry had come over and groped carefully on the ground.
When Zhang Tie saw Gerry fumble on the palms of the skeleton for a while, he smiled and picked up a ring, wiped the ring very skillfully on his body, then put it in front of him and weighed it, and looked at it.
"The platinum ring is inlaid with diamonds, ha...ha... good luck!" As he said that, Gerry handed over the ring.
Jewelry before the Cataclysm was not ordinary or precious. These jewelry before the Cataclysm of the same material and quality could be sold at more than three times the price of jewelry made in this era. Diamonds were the highest-priced gems before the Cataclysm. In this era, with human exploration and development of the earth's center world, a large number of diamonds were discovered. The value of diamonds is no longer as outrageous as before the Cataclysm, and can only be regarded as ordinary gems.
"You can take it first, and then talk about it in the end!" Zhang Tie said with a smile. Although the value of this ring is not high for him, it may only be a hundred gold coins, Zhang Tie was very happy.
After searching carefully this room and finding that there was indeed nothing valuable in the room, the three people came to another room.
At this time, there was only a metal frame with a door frame left, and there were large pieces of glass fragments on the ground.
Like the room where Zhang Tie just came in, the layout of this room is also very simple. There are not many furniture here, and the road is a bit like a high-end business reception place or conference room. There are several paintings hanging on the walls here, but they are all decayed. Like the sofa in the room, the original appearance is no longer visible. There are also a few pieces of original decoration and crafts that seemed to be placed in the room for decoration, and they are also scattered underground. Many have been damaged, but there are still a few special metal crafts that are preserved.
"Peter, come and see..." Seme's voice was already revealing a huge sense of excitement.
Zhang Tie walked over and found that Sem was holding a black vase-like thing one foot tall, and was wiping it with the sleeves on his clothes without any mind. As the wiping movement accelerated, Sem's movements on his face became more and more excited.
"It seems...it seems to be a product from the East..." Seim swallowed hard, and then handed the thing to Gerry, "Look..."
"This style is a bit similar, but I have never encountered such a precious product from the East, so..." The color inside the grid was solemnly tossed and turned, a little uncertain, "And the bottle seems to be copper, but the color of these patterns is strange. It seems to be not painted but inlaid, but why is it so flat? It seems to be a special manufacturing process."
"Let me see..." Zhang Tie took the vase-like thing over, and imitated Sem's appearance, and wiped it hard with the sleeves on his clothes. Under Zhang Tie's wiping, the black purple bottle body gradually became clear. On the body of the bottle, there was a pattern of a very bright and prosperous flower. Just above the pattern, a Chinese word "Fu" with silver metallic luster gradually became clear.
"This is indeed a work of art from the East..." Zhang Tie said to Seme and Gri with certainty.
"How do you know?"
"This is a Chinese font, which means luck, wealth and perfection, and is a symbol of auspiciousness among the Chinese people!"
When Grie and Seme were both a little excited when they heard Zhang Tie say this.
"What's wrong?"
"This is the post!"
"This is just a work of art. It shouldn't be more valuable than the craft you took out last time, right?" Zhang Tie said in confusion.
"Don't you know that these artworks from the Oriental Chinese before the Cataclysm are very valuable. If they can be confirmed to be genuine, many rich people in the Chinese will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy these things back. This is the most popular item 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 you can find a few more rooms, you will choose one for each of you..."
There are six rooms that can be searched upstairs. I have searched the rooms upstairs all the time. There are only three vases that seem to be made of copper materials in total. They are all found in the same room. The three vases are the same style and are well preserved. The Chinese characters left on them are "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou", which should be a complete set...
It is possible to discover Chinese cultural relics before the catastrophe here. Although I don’t know how much this thing can be sold, it has already made Zhang Tie very happy. This is the fun of Taobao.
After searching the second floor, the three of them followed the stairs to the first floor. There were not many rooms on the first floor, and it looked like a hall. The situation in the hall was much better than the upper floor. Except for some dust, there were very little debris. There were rows of counters everywhere in the hall. Those counters had undergone changes of about 900 years and were still intact and closed tightly.
When Zhang Tie looked at the counters, he 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, wiped the thick dust on a counter with his hands twice, and the things inside the counter appeared. Looking at the things on the counter, Zhang Tie opened his mouth wide in shock...
