A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Chapter 46 Fun Strengthening Stone
After a brief walk around Nanjing Road, I climbed up to the Oriental Pearl Tower at night and enjoyed the night view of the Magic City.I found a hotel to stay at that night and had a dreamless night.

Early the next morning, I took a bus straight to the Magic City West Station to go home. I originally planned to buy a ticket and go home, but I didn’t expect that when I got off the bus and looked at the map on my phone, I found that there was an antique city nearby. When I looked at the map, it was so close to me. After checking the name, it is said to be the largest antique flea market in Shanghai.It was fate, so we had to go. As soon as Zhang Lan turned around, he turned on his mobile phone to navigate there.

When we arrived at the door, a red sticker said that every Friday, the third floor is open from [-] am to [-] pm, which means that the stalls are only open on Fridays of the week.

I looked at my phone and it happened to be Friday, so that was a perfect coincidence.

The Antique City is very large, and as soon as you enter, you will be hit by the overwhelmingly nostalgic atmosphere, so those who want to take a bite can go straight to it.The second floor is a fixed stall with a counter, which has the style of a state-owned store in the 80s, with a hint of chaos in its order.The third floor is more lively. There are no counters here, only more original stalls.There are obviously more antique lovers who like to come to the third floor. The small space is crowded and noisy.Everything is sold here, regardless of category; jade and jewelry, pots and jars, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are the mainstream; this is also a very tacit commonality among "ghost markets" across the country.However, the depth of the water here, the shallowness of the water, the rapidity of the water, and the slowness of the water all depend on one's keen eye; if you are an outsider, just watch the excitement.

In addition to antiques, various second-hand goods also occupy a considerable area.Old books, old records, old musical instruments, old cameras, all kinds of old accessories that are mottled and dusty... all tell the story of the distant past.The stall owner may not know its story and origin.

Zhang Lan is very self-aware. Apart from using his own magical powers, it is difficult for him to distinguish anything else. He has only a vague understanding of various antiques.But as long as you can identify what you want, it doesn't matter how you get it.

Zhang Lan did not directly use his eyes to look around at the beginning. Instead, he wandered from stall to stall along with the flow of people. Occasionally, when he met someone he was interested in, he would stop and take a look. Only those who were particularly interested would use his eyes. Take a look with your eyes.

Now he is not sure what exactly affects the breath that his eyes see, but what is certain is that he cannot tell what is real and what is fake.It can only be said that those with breath, even if they are fake, must be valuable magic weapons.

Zhang Lan saw a stall that was very busy. When he was walking along the crowd, someone happened to squeeze out of it. Zhang Lan squeezed in through the gap he led out to see what good things attracted so many people to watch. .

Once inside, Zhang Lan saw clearly that the stall was not small. The stall owner occupied three stalls. The stall was more than 3 meters long and was covered with a piece of yellow cloth.Unlike other stalls where things are roughly divided into categories and arranged neatly, this stall owner's stall has a mess of things placed in a haphazard manner, and they are placed randomly without any order.

There was a lot of stuff, and it looked like there really was a lot. People who were interested were gathered around, and from time to time someone inquired about the price and paid.

Zhang Lan's eyes were fixed, and as the breath flowed in his eyes, he seemed to see a spiritual light on the stall?
Picking up the rippled thing with spiritual light, it was a hand-made ornament carved from unknown jade.There were only a few lines carved on it. Zhang Lan observed it and saw that it should be in the shape of a dragon.As Zhang Lan picked it up and looked through it carefully, he felt more and more familiar. He always felt that he had seen the carved dragon before. After a while, he suddenly remembered it. Zhang Lan couldn't laugh or cry: This is not the one he played. Is the blue dragon in the picture of the blue dragon stone in the game Journey to the West?Just say how come it looks so familiar.

Zhang Lan took out her mobile phone and searched for pictures of blue dragon stone. She compared it with the jade ornament on her hand and couldn't help but laugh. They were absolutely the same. They were carved from the same mold.I don’t know who is so leisurely, but he must also be an avid Journey to the West enthusiast.

Zhang Lan couldn't help but smile and asked the stall owner: "How much does this cost, boss?"

The stall owner glanced at the jade in Zhang Lan's hand and casually quoted a price: "Eight hundred, take it if you want."

"Eight hundred is too expensive. Can the boss pay me back?" Zhang Lan estimated that the blue dragon stone in his hand was carved by the guy out of a beer bottle, otherwise it wouldn't be so green. "you say."

"50 yuan." Looking at the beer bottle Qinglongshi in his hand, Zhang Lan made a fierce offer.

"Fifty is not enough, you're cutting it too hard." Seeing Zhang Lan's love for it, the boss felt like he had a handle on it and wanted to raise the price again.

Zhang Lan didn't counter-offer, but dug at the stall again.Following the light in his eyes, Zhang Lan pulled out three more pieces of 'jade' from the stall.A white one, a red one, and a blue one.

Picking up the three pieces of 'jade' and comparing them with another piece of blue dragon stone in the palm of his left hand, Zhang Lan almost couldn't help laughing.It’s really the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise and Suzaku, and the four strengthening stones look exactly the same as in the game.

"Boss, give us a real price for these four mythical beasts." Zhang Lan raised her head and said to the stall owner.

The stall owner was also a quickie. He noticed that Zhang Lan actually picked up one of the four mythical beasts from the stall and was still laughing uncontrollably. He knew that this thing was definitely not a mistake, but it must be something more interesting. The young man in front of him couldn't stop the smile on his face.He knew what was on the jar, especially the jade stones, which were all of high value and were piled under his feet.

So he opened his mouth and directly asked for a price: "According to the price you mentioned before, you can take it for 4 yuan and 200 yuan, but you have to tell me why you can't stop laughing there?"

Zhang Lan laughed out loud after hearing this, and first scanned the 200 yuan to the boss with her mobile phone.Then he pulled out the picture he just saw and handed it to the stall owner: "Boss, look at this picture, do you think it looks familiar?"

The stall owner looked at the pictures on Zhang Lan's phone and then at the 'jade' in Zhang Lan's hand, feeling a little confused: "It's the same, what's so funny about it?"

A young man next to him had noticed the exchange between the two just now. After seeing that Zhang Lan had paid, he couldn't help but poke his head over and take a look at Zhang Lan's mobile phone.Looking at the pictures on Zhang Lan's phone and looking at the stone in Zhang Lan's hand, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This thing is fun. Isn't this the strengthening stone in the Journey to the West game?"

Zhang Lan saw that the man recognized him and put the stone away.He stood up and said with a smile: "Yeah, I just bought it because I thought it was fun."

"There are a lot of four strengthening stones, and the color and appearance are not bad at all. It is not a loss for 200 yuan. It is good to play as a peripheral." The man replied with a smile.
