Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Chapter 85 Chinese People Don't Lie to Other Chinese People (Please Subscribe)

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Xu Zhiyi woke up on time and first performed a Hunyuan breathing exercise.

He didn't sleep well that night.

The main problem was that the sofa was too short, and his legs were always dangling outside, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable. Secondly, Lin Wei, who was sleeping in the room, kept tossing and turning, making it difficult for him to sleep.

He glanced at the bedroom.

The door remained closed, and he could hear long, even breathing sounds coming from inside.

Lin Wei was clearly still asleep.

Xu Zhiyi didn't intend to wake her up.

After folding the blankets and putting away the pillows, I went to the bathroom for a quick wash, only to find an unopened toothbrush on the sink.

Needless to say, Lin Wei must have prepared this for him last night.

After getting ready, he sent Lin Wei a goodbye message, took his keys and went out. He found a breakfast stall at the entrance of the community, ordered a bowl of spicy soup, a basket of vegetable buns, and two tea eggs.

After finishing breakfast, he packed a serving of soup dumplings and congee and brought it upstairs.

He then went downstairs, hailed a ride-hailing car, and headed straight for Wuxi East Railway Station.

It only took a few minutes to get there.

Ticket collection, security check, entering the station, waiting for the train, ticket inspection, boarding the train —

The high-speed train departs at 6:30, and the carriages are packed with people.

More than half of the passengers were commuters between Shanghai and Wuxi.

I heard that it's these cattle and horses that have driven up the property prices near the high-speed rail station.

Xu Zhiyi found her seat according to her ticket and sat down. Watching the scenery outside the window rush by, she arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Station in just over thirty minutes.

After exiting the station, simply follow the signs to transfer to Metro Line 2.

I only rode for one stop before getting off at Xujing East Station.

Then I walked out of the subway station.

When he reached the ground, the view suddenly opened up before him.

What came into his view was the National Exhibition and Convention Center, also known as the "Clover," which rose from the ground and looked particularly magnificent in the morning light.

The mineral and gemstone exhibition is held in Hall 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

It's only a little past seven o'clock, but many people are already heading that way.

There weren't many vehicles.

The vehicles coming and going were mostly security vehicles, presumably escorting the exhibits.

It's possible that private vehicles can only park in the outside parking lot and can't drive inside.

Xu Zhiyi followed along to the exhibition hall. Along the way, she saw many young people carrying backpacks and dragging suitcases, as well as well-dressed middle-aged people. They were all dressed smartly and had an extraordinary demeanor.

This large-scale exhibition, renowned both domestically and internationally, attracts many industry giants. It not only showcases products but also provides an excellent opportunity to present the image of individuals and companies.

Many companies generate more than half of their business at trade shows.

Soon, Xu Zhiyi arrived at the entrance of the exhibition.

He found that the security at the exhibition was very tight.

There were nearly twenty security personnel in black uniforms standing at the entrance alone, and several police officers patrolling in the distance. You also had to queue up for security checks to enter.

Not only do backpacks and suitcases have to go through X-ray machines, but security personnel also use metal detectors for secondary scanning. The security check standards are basically the same as those at high-speed rail stations.

Basically, you can't bring any metal items, lighters, or unidentified liquids in.

Xu Zhiyi didn't care.

His slingshot and harpoon were all kept in his storage bag.

The security gate cannot detect it, and the X-ray machine cannot see it either.

Time quickly passed to eight o'clock.

After passing through security, Xu Zhiyi entered the exhibition hall and immediately saw many giant mineral specimens, crystal matrices, and so on, which attracted many people to take pictures there.

The interior space of the entire exhibition hall is astonishingly large, at least the size of several football fields, and its height is also an astonishing 30 meters. It is divided into mineral areas, gemstone areas, diamond areas, jade and gemstone areas, meteorite fossil areas, and so on.

Xu Zhiyi naturally headed straight for the meteorite area.

There weren't many people in the meteorite area.

While it wasn't exactly deserted, it was much quieter than the gem district.

After all, meteorites are a niche collectible.

Ordinary people neither understand it nor can afford it.

People who come to meteorite exhibitions are usually experts.

There weren't many booths in the meteorite area, only a few dozen scattered around. Each booth displayed all sorts of stones, strange and varied.

Xu Zhiyi slowed down and looked at each house one by one.

At the first booth, he saw an iron meteorite, about the size of two fists, with a sign next to it—Moroccan iron meteorite, 580 yuan/gram.

Xu Zhiyi was speechless.

580 per gram?

This stone weighs at least one or two kilograms, wouldn't it cost millions?

However, he didn't show any fear and said in a deep voice, "May I handle this iron meteorite and take a look?"

Sitting behind the booth was a young man wearing a baseball cap, looking down at his phone. Hearing this, he simply nodded casually and said, "It's okay, feel free to look around."

Unlike porcelain or jade, meteorites are not immune to breakage, chipping, or damage. Therefore, people who bring them to exhibitions are very generous; as long as you don't take them away, you can look at them however you like.

After receiving permission, Xu Zhiyi stepped forward and picked up the iron meteorite.

It felt heavy in my hand, much heavier than a block of iron of the same size.

You have obtained synthetic metal 1.

Artificial metal?

Isn't that a counterfeit product?

Xu Zhiyi felt sorry for him.

How dare they price such a counterfeit product at tens of millions?

Isn't this just treating people like fools and scamming them?

He changed his booth again.

This booth didn't have any large pieces of iron meteorite, but it did have several small slices of Altai iron meteorite, all of which were high-quality and showed clear Widmanstätten patterns.

He stepped forward and picked up a piece.

You have obtained Fragment 1 of Mystic Iron.

Call ~

Xu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

His guess was proven correct.

The black iron he needed was indeed an iron meteorite!

However, what he wanted was a black iron ingot.

The fragments of Xuan Tie definitely can't be used directly; they probably need to be smelted into ingots first.

He didn't know how big a Xuan Tie ingot was in the game, but he guessed it must be at least the same size as a silver ingot.

Silver has a much higher density than iron meteorites.

A silver ingot weighs 210 grams, while an iron meteorite of the same size would weigh approximately 158 grams.

It takes three ingots to refine the Soul-Severing Dart and two ingots to refine the Mysterious Spirit Heart-Protecting Armor. In total, it takes five ingots of Mysterious Iron, which is 790 grams!

In other words, he has to buy at least 790 grams of iron meteorite today!

This doesn't even include the losses during the smelting process!

If losses are taken into account, it might not even reach one kilogram!

He glanced at the price tag on the iron meteorite.

A very auspicious number.

680/gram.

"Can you make it cheaper?"

Xu Zhiyi asked.

The man guarding the booth was middle-aged. Upon hearing this, he merely glanced up at him before continuing to play on his phone. "That's the price anyway. I'll just round it down for you—six hundred per gram!"

"I'll take another look."

Xu Zhiyi put down the meteorite and went to the next store.

Although he could instantly store the iron meteorite into his storage bag with just a thought, without anyone noticing, he had never entertained such an idea.

Next, he visited more than a dozen booths.

Although there are many fake iron meteorites made of iron-nickel alloy, there are also several genuine natural ones. However, whether they are real or fake, the prices are ridiculously high.

The cheapest one costs 360 yuan per gram.

It's only the size of a fingernail.

Although I can afford it, it's too small to be of any use.

After walking around for a while, Xu Zhiyi had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

There were indeed genuine products at the exhibition, but the prices were outrageously high.

Counterfeit goods, on the other hand, are not cheap at all!

They probably just prey on people who don't know anything about this stuff.

Just as he was about to turn back and try to negotiate the price again, someone suddenly approached him quickly from behind.

Xu Zhiyi turned around and found that the person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium height, slightly overweight, wearing a plaid shirt, with thinning hair, and a warm smile typical of businessmen.

"Young man, you want to buy a SkyTrain?"

Tian Tie is an iron meteorite.

Xu Zhiyi nodded, recalling that he seemed to have seen this person before.

Among the booths he had just visited, there was this person's. His stall had several dark stones on it, labeled as "raw stones," but they were actually all artificial alloys.

The middle-aged man moved closer to him and whispered, "I've seen you walk around several times, so you must know your stuff. I have a batch of good stuff!"

These are all rough stones I collected overseas, and the prices are very reasonable!

As he spoke, he handed over a business card.

The sign reads "Zhongtian Meteorite Culture Development Co., Ltd.", whose main business includes meteorite identification, wholesale and retail of raw meteorites, meteorite handicrafts, etc., and the general manager is Zhang Zhongtian.

"My name is Zhang Zhongtian."

"Mr. Zhang, right? Do you have any genuine products?" Xu Zhiyi glanced at him sideways, showing extreme distrust. "Don't try to fool me with those nickel-iron ingots."

Zhang Zhongtian said with a smile, "Those on stage are just for fooling foreigners who don't know anything about this. You look like an expert. How could I dare to give you fake goods?"

Don't worry, I'm very honest in business; I don't cheat other Chinese people!

"Alright, based on what you said, I'll go take a look."

Xu Zhiyi nodded confidently, knowing that no counterfeit goods could hide from him anyway.

Zhang Zhongtian immediately beamed and led Xu Zhiyi to a corner.

"Young man, you're in luck! You've come at the perfect time! I just bought a batch of top-quality materials; you couldn't buy them for ten times the price elsewhere!"

As they spoke, the two arrived at the booth.

This booth is quite remote, located in the very corner, so almost no one comes here.

Inside the booth was a wooden crate placed on a plastic tray.

Zhang Zhongtian lifted the lid of the box, which was full of dark brown stones of all sizes. The largest was as big as a human head, and the smallest was as big as a fist. The surface was pitted and heavily oxidized, making it difficult to judge their appearance.

Xu Zhiyi reached out and touched the largest piece among them.

The moment his fingers touched the stone, his eyes lit up.

You have obtained a large block of black iron.

Goodness, they really weren't lying!

"You really know your stuff!"

Zhang Zhongtian took in the changes in his expression and immediately introduced with great enthusiasm: "This is genuine meteorite iron, which I acquired from Argentina!"

If you want it, I'll give you a discount, 68 yuan per gram!
