C1362 The Three-legged Golden Crow
There was a period of time in ancient times when alchemist was at the peak of his development. Refining mechanical marionettes was not difficult. It was rare to find materials. If not for that, the number of mechanical puppets would not be so low. After the war, almost all of the Mechanical Marionettes were destroyed. The players now... I can only recall that brilliant technological civilization from ancient books.
It was said that production was very difficult, and destruction was only for a moment, but alchemist dawdled for nearly ten minutes. Only after dismantling the first part did his speed increase. The players could roughly feel how extraordinary the mechanical puppet was through the changes in their expressions during alchemist's dismantling process. The shopkeeper squatted on the ground and distinguished the dismantled parts one by one. Very quickly, a few parts were divided and placed on the other side.
"This heat must have added solar stones!" A player suddenly opened his mouth and pointed at a certain part. Many people were shocked. Sun Stone, this was a divine ore called a divine treasure. Even if it was the size of a fingernail, it was still worth a fortune.
"I can also feel the fluctuations of the World Stone." Another player spoke. The surrounding players were once again in an uproar as they discussed animatedly. The World Stone was extremely hard, and it was the best item in a fixed space. It was the most precious ore to refine a virtual space.
At this moment, the players understood what Han Shasha meant. Mechanical Marionettes could no longer be repaired, but the materials were useful. After melting, it could be refined into many divine treasures. Even if it was just a little bit, the value was unimaginable.
Alchemist completely disassembled the Mechanical Marionettes, and the shopkeeper also sorted out the materials. He did not care about the ordinary materials and focused on calculating the parts that contained precious materials. Finally, he came to a conclusion.
"Sun Stone, World Stone, Void God Gold, Dragon Mark Green Gold. Each type of material is around 100 grams. I estimate it to be 4000 gold coins."
Everyone exclaimed. This kind of divine treasure was too precious. The player who told them about the origins of the Mechanical Marionette was filled with regret. When he heard that the Mechanical Marionette had appeared, he couldn't help but sigh. He had even gone to watch the show and mocked the vendor for demanding an exorbitant price. He thought that unless it was a fool, no one would buy such a broken item. He never thought that he was the fool.
The 200 times difference in price was undoubtedly shocking. Disappointment flashed across Fan Tian's eyes as he smiled and congratulated Han Shasha.
"It's your turn." Han Shasha maintained her composure. She knew that it was not the time to celebrate yet. Even if she won this round, it would only be a draw.
The Silver set, a stalk of grass, and a firestone. Dongfang Qingyu hesitated for a moment before he took out the firestone. The fiery atmosphere made the surrounding people subconsciously lean back.
"Firestone!" Although this thing was not bad, it could be considered very formal. It could only be said that it was very big and was worth quite a bit of money. The price of the firestone was relatively transparent. Dongfang Qingyu should not be able to pick it up. Everyone looked at the shopkeeper and asked if he had anything to say.
"Forgive this old man for being blind!" The shopkeeper looked around the firestone and finally came to the conclusion that it was worth 10 gold coins. Everyone looked at Dongfang Qingyu and muttered in their hearts, Could it be that he bought it with a few copper coin?
"I'll have to trouble the shopkeeper to break the firestone." Dongfang Qingyu said with a smile.
"Could it be that there is a hidden universe?" Shocked, the shopkeeper returned to the flaming rock and took a closer look. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He had really seen through something. With a flash of light, an incomparably sharp blade appeared in his hand.
"Never heard of the Jade in the Stone of Fire!" The surrounding players were also shocked. Han Shasha and the others all revealed nervous expressions.
Because this was the first time he had opened a Fire Stone, the shopkeeper did not dare to be careless. Very carefully, he broke open the stone cover bit by bit. When a fingernail sized stone cover fell off, crimson multicolored light sprayed out like the rising sun, illuminating the entire Treasure Inspection House. Everyone felt their eyes turn blood red, as if they were burning.
"What an astonishing phenomenon! It's not inferior to the Great Mist Purple Energy Pearl." The players were both surprised and happy. They were already very lucky to see the Jade in the Stone once. In just a short period of time, they had seen it a second time.
The shopkeeper was also extremely excited. To him, opening up a divine treasure was also a type of glory. Although he was excited, his fingers were as steady as Mount Tai. He slowly peeled off the stone cover from the Fire Stone. An egg the size of an adult's fist appeared in front of everyone.
The red light was blazing to the extreme. Within the light, a three-legged black bird was soaring in the void. Although it was small, it gave off a terrifying aura. Its wings casually shook, and countless cracks appeared in the void. This type of scene... It was extremely terrifying.
"This type of bird..." The players were too shocked, unable to say anything.
"Three legs, could it be..." Some of the players recalled the legends and their eyes lit up with joy.
"Three-legged Golden Crow!" Brahma's voice was filled with bitterness.
The multicolored light bloomed for more than ten seconds before it slowly dissipated. Along with it, the illusory phenomenon also dissipated, and everything returned to the egg. The egg shell became calm, but there were mysterious inscriptions on its surface.
"Three-legged Golden Crow, this old one is very lucky to be able to see such a divine bird." The shopkeeper's face was gratified as he welcomed everyone's gaze. "The egg of this divine bird has never been auctioned before, but I want to estimate it to be 5000 gold coins. Because no one will object. "
The onlookers did not make a sound, and Han Shasha and the others did not speak either. They tacitly agreed to this price. Everyone knew that 5000 gold coins was a conservative estimate. If it was really placed in an auction, the final transaction price would be 100% higher than 5000 gold coins.
"This firestone, I bought it for 10 gold coins." Dongfang Qingyu's words shattered the last hope of Han Shasha and the others. 10 gold coins was not considered low, but the price of the Three-legged Golden Crow was too high.
This time, no one scolded Dongfang Qingyu for being so lucky, because no one could tell what was inside the Fire Stone. Even the shopkeeper had misjudged it. Only Dongfang Qingyu was sure that it wasn't a matter of luck, but a matter of judgment.
"We lost!" Han Shasha lowered her head. She was convinced that she had lost. The difference was 500 times. She could not find a reason to be shameless. The group of people didn't have the face to stay here any longer. They handed over the items that they had bet on to Dongfang Qingyu. They left with their tails between their legs.
No one laughed at them. In fact, they were all experts at picking up scraps. But unfortunately, they met Dongfang Qingyu. Dongfang Qingyu did not stand on ceremony. He accepted everything with a smile. He might not be interested in the other items, but he liked the Grandmist Purple Energy Bead very much. Of course, there was also a Gold Treasure Chest. It was a good item. His luck was very good now, and he might be able to obtain an unexpected item.
He did not leave immediately. He took out the Silver set and Snake Spirit Grass. The Snake Spirit Grass was actually a Dragon Spirit Grass, not a Snake Spirit Grass. The difference in price was a hundred times.
When the Silver set was separated, its attributes were very poor. Almost no one cared about it. Dongfang Qingyu's eyes were sharp, and he gathered them in the many stalls. The attributes increased by more than ten times. When the players saw the attributes, they were so shocked that they couldn't say anything. Dongfang Qingyu had spent 50 gold coins to collect it, and the manager had estimated it to be 300 gold coins. It had suddenly increased by six times.
The surrounding players were all numb to it. It was already very impressive for others to pick up scraps, but for Dongfang Qingyu, it was not a big deal.
Dongfang Qingyu had already taken out all the items that he didn't need. This was also the reason why he came to the Treasure Inspection House. What was worth mentioning was that Han Shasha and the other three people still had one item that they did not appraise. Each of them had placed a bet of three items, but they had only taken out two. The last item was eliminated before it even appeared. However, the items still had to be given to Dongfang Qingyu according to the agreement.
Out of the four items, two of them were worth more than 200 gold coins. The other two items were not worth much, but they were worth more than 100 gold coins. Dongfang Qingyu had earned another 500 gold coins for no reason. From this, it could be seen that Han Shasha and the other three were masters at picking up scraps. They had good taste.
Dongfang Qingyu and Tu Tu left the Treasure Inspection House, but this shocking gambling had spread.
