The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

When this thing was in the ancient tomb, Wu Xie noticed that his third uncle was very fond of it.

After coming out, he wrapped it up in layers of oilcloth, as if it were some rare treasure.

Wu Xie felt that since his third uncle thought it was so precious, it should naturally fetch a good price.

Firstly, it's not really safe to keep this thing around all the time.

Secondly, we were really short of money.

Wu Xie didn't care much about where he stayed; he didn't have any particular thoughts about it.

However, Panzi still needs medication every day for treatment, and if he stops taking the medication...

Pan Zike was about to die, and with that thought in mind, Wu Xie folded up the gold-threaded jade coffin cover and put it in his backpack.

I asked the hotel receptionist for a few addresses and then hurriedly left the hotel.

There aren't any large antique markets around here. If you're talking about something big, there's only one nearby called Hero Mountain.

Wu Xie quickly arrived at the address given by the receptionist, and the place was indeed larger in scale.

However, there were just too many stalls, and Wu Xie knew very well that small stalls and shops like these couldn't possibly afford the prices he was offering.

The gold-threaded jade coffin cover is a rare treasure; if you were to sell it, you'd have to find a respectable shop.

Only larger shops might have the resources to acquire this gold-threaded jade coffin cover.

Wu Xie had previously discussed the approximate value of the gold-threaded jade coffin cover with his third uncle.

My third uncle also gave me a conservative price.

If someone wants to buy it, the starting price is probably around 100 million.

Anything below this price would be a losing proposition.

Wu Xie had his own reasons for not going to Fang Yun's place.

Uncle didn't get much useful information out of the snake-browed bronze fish.

Wu Xie was still quite curious about the snake-browed bronze fish and wanted to know the truth.

Naturally, he wanted to find someone who frequently dealt in these kinds of things, which is why Wu Xie brought the gold-threaded jade coffin cover to this antique market.

Wu Xie suddenly noticed a slightly larger shop, and on the windowsill of this shop was an incense burner.

Chapter 252 One Million Two Hundred Thousand! The Huo Family!

Wu Xie went closer to take a look and saw that there were strange things carved on the furnace, which he couldn't understand at first.

"You're quite discerning for your age. This isn't for sale in our shop; it's a treasure we've kept hidden away. Where are you from? Why don't you come and see if there's anything else you like in this little shop?"

A middle-aged man walked to the door and spoke to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie noticed the disdain in the middle-aged man's eyes as he looked him over, and Wu Xie understood.

I look too young, so naturally the owner of this kind of shop wouldn't be interested in me.

Wu Xie couldn't care less about anything else at that moment, so he went into the shop.

As soon as Wu Xie entered the store, a fair-skinned young girl brought him a glass of plain water.

"Is there something you want to sell, or something you've taken a fancy to? Just say the word, we have everything you want, and we can get rid of anything you want to sell."

The boss said with a smile.

Wu Xie was also looking at the antiques in the shop; this whole room was full of priceless treasures.

Although it can't compare to the antique shop opened by Fang Yun, it's enough for an ordinary person to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury.

"The thing I'm going to sell is jade, a set of jade."

Wu Xie said slowly and deliberately.

"Really? This complete set of jade is indeed quite rare. Could you take it out and let me see it?"

The boss said with a smile.

Wu Xie just wanted to put on an act and shock the middle-aged man in front of him.

Wu Xie placed the backpack on his chest, only revealing a corner of it.

The boss immediately went up and touched it.

This touch scared the boss so much that his legs went weak.

"How about this jade?"

Wu Xie smiled faintly.

The boss didn't speak directly, but got up, closed the door, and drew the curtains.

They sent the waitress away and replaced the plain water in front of Wu Xie with tea.

Wu Xie noticed that the tea was top-quality Tieguanyin, but he had already had tea once before at Fang Yun's antique shop.

After drinking the tea, Wu Xie found all other teas tasteless.

"I was blind to your greatness. May I ask your name, craftsman?"

The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"His surname is Wu."

"Oh, it's Master Wu. You can just call me Lao Hai. How much do you want for this?"

Old Hai quickly asked.

Wu Xie felt that he should not set the price too high.

Uncle Wu had previously warned Wu Xie that some things, although of great value, were indeed of extraordinary importance.

But if you can't sell, you'll never get real money.

Keeping it in your own hands will only cause trouble.

Wu Xie held up one finger.

"Please wait a moment, I will call the buyer."

Old Hai quickly said.

Judging from Lao Hai's appearance, Wu Xie also thought he was someone who frequently did this kind of business.

Old Hai was hiding in a corner, talking quietly on the phone. Less than three minutes later, he returned to his seat.

“You’re really lucky. There are indeed people waiting for this item, and they’re in a hurry to get it. I know a lot about antiques. You know, the price is determined by people. 100 million for your item isn’t low, and 200 million isn’t high either. Fortunately, I’ve managed to get it for 120 million. I wonder if you’re satisfied with this price?”

Old Hai quickly asked.

Wu Xie felt that the price was 20 more than the price he and his third uncle had previously estimated.

Even if I suffer a little loss, it's nothing to worry about.

Wu Xie nodded.

"Don't underestimate my small shop. We believe in honesty and integrity. I see you're in a hurry for the money. How about this: I'll give you the 120 million yuan directly. Would you like cash or deposit it into your account?"

Old Hai said with a smile.

"cash."

Wu Xie didn't even think about it.

Old Hai quickly called the waitress over and asked her to go to the bank and withdraw 120 million yuan.

I specifically instructed her to withdraw the money from several banks.

“Master Wu, you didn’t just find this one thing this time, did you? It’s a bit of a loss to only find this one this time. Do you have any other items you can show me? If the price is right, I’ll sell them all for you.”

Old Hai said with a smile.

Wu Xie remembered another purpose for his visit.

"I do have one more thing here."

Wu Xie described the general appearance of the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish to Lao Hai.

"Are you sure you really have this thing?"

Old Hai said somewhat flusteredly.

"Do you perhaps know the origin of this thing?"

Wu Xie quickly asked.

"I don't know where this thing comes from, but I know that someone has been looking for it. However, I advise you not to reveal any information about it to anyone else. You should know that even a shop like mine can make tens of millions a year, and I wouldn't dare to mess with someone like that."

Old Hai quickly said.

"...Who exactly is searching for such a thing?"

Wu Xie quickly asked.

……

Antique shop.
