Chapter 21 Damn, I Still Lost Money!

"Hey, hey, brother!"

Seeing that Xu Ye was really about to leave, the stall owner finally couldn't help it and hurriedly called him to stop.

Xu Ye turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Ahem." The stall owner coughed twice and showed the broken sword in his hand, "Although this broken sword is a treasure passed down from my ancestors."

"But I see that you are quite interested in it, brother."

"Then I will reluctantly give it up today!"

"As long as you give me a suitable price, I will sell it to you!"

He put on a look of reluctantly giving up, holding the broken sword in both hands and showing it to Xu Ye.

"Actually, I'm not that interested..."

Xu Ye looked at the other party with empty eyes.

However, he still pretended to walk back and took the broken sword in his hand to look at it.

"Since you, boss, have said so, give me a price."

"This broken sword has been passed down in my family for a thousand years. Today I met a wise master, and I will entrust it to you." The stall owner's nonsense came out of his mouth without any embarrassment.

"I think you and I are destined to be together. I will sell you this heirloom for 2,000 dragon coins!"

"2,000 dragon coins, you really have the nerve to ask for it!" Xu Ye's mouth twitched. He knew a thing or two about the tricks of these vendors.

He didn't even raise his eyelids and said directly: "One price, 10 dragon coins."

The stall owner was stunned and his scalp was numb.

Although the price of 2,000 dragon coins is definitely inflated, you are too bold to bargain, aren't you?

You cut me 1,999 with one knife, which is a cut against the aorta!

He looked at Xu Ye with a fake smile and laughed dryly: "Brother, even if you go out to buy scrap metal, it's not just this price!"

"How about this, I will bear the pain and cut it for you. 1,000 dragon coins, you take it away!"

"No, just 10 dragon coins!" Xu Ye refused to budge and bit his tongue.

"If you buy this kind of treasure for ten dragon coins, aren't you destroying my stall?" The stall owner was a little anxious, "I can cut the price for you at most, at least 300 dragon coins, if you don't want to buy it, forget it!"

Xu Ye finally experienced the means of these profiteers.

The thing that was worth 2,000 dragon coins before, he cut it down to 300 in a few breaths.

It's obviously profitable!

He took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and looked at the stall owner: "Some of the things you have here are newly unearthed."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" The stall owner's temple jumped suddenly, his expression changed for a moment, and soon squeezed out a smile.

"This, this, and that." Xu Ye pointed at a few broken porcelains on the stall, his expression calm, "There is mud on the bottle, and it hasn't dried up completely."

"This mud comes from the same place as the wet mud on the edge of your shoes, and there are a few osmanthus petals on your feet."

"In the past week, only the far suburbs in the west of the city had rain, and there is only one place with osmanthus trees in the far suburbs."

"Wet soil, osmanthus petals, and these porcelains with mud on them, the only place that can meet these conditions is the ancient tombs in the far suburbs."

"There are calluses between your index and middle fingers, which should be left when you use some tools."

His tone was calm, but it sounded like thunder in the ears of the vendors, shaking his forehead with sweat and swallowing his saliva involuntarily.

Xu Ye raised his eyes slightly, looked at the other party, and said lightly: "You should have just come out of the tomb not long ago, and rushed here to set up a stall."

"You...what are you talking about?" The vendor kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves at this moment, looking around in a panic, fearing that someone would hear Xu Ye's words.

"You should know that privately entering the tomb is a tomb robbery and will be punished." Xu Ye ignored the other party's sophistry and continued to speak aggressively.

But he changed the subject and smiled, "But don't worry, I won't report you."

"I am indeed a little interested in this broken sword."

"How about this, I will offer fifty dragon coins, you sell it to me, and I can pretend that I didn't see anything just now."

He was very confident that through this coercion and inducement, he could get the broken sword at a low price.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his offer, the vendor widened his eyes and quickly stuffed the broken sword into Xu Ye's hands, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

"It's a deal!"

In his eyes, there was a hint of smugness and a look of surviving a disaster.

Xu also noticed this look, and his mouth twitched immediately, and he cursed in his heart.

"Damn, I still lost!"

...

Bang!

The door of the rental house was pushed open by Fang Xin.

She angrily threw the breakfast she bought on the table and sat down on the bed.

"Sister Xin, what's wrong with you? Did you step on shit when you went out?"

Guo Yan raised his head and complained with his head tilted.

"You stepped on shit!" Fang Xin punched him in anger, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Guo Yan felt pain and immediately covered his head, looking to the side aggrievedly, "Senior, look at Sister Xin, she is simply a violent girl!"

"Who told you to be so rude over there?" Cao Sha yawned and walked out of the bathroom, wiped the water off his face casually, and asked calmly, "Fang Xin, did you encounter anything when you went out?"

Fang Xin slammed the table angrily and said in a straightforward tone: "The target of the virtual demon is No. 3 Middle School!"

"Huh?" After this, the other three were stunned and all showed confused expressions.

Then, Fang Xin's mouth was like a machine gun, quickly recounting Xu Ye's previous analysis.

The expressions of Cao Sha and the other two changed from being confused at the beginning to being solemn, and finally to being shocked!

When she finished her story, Guo Yan jumped up from his chair, extremely surprised: "Sister Xin, you went out, did you get hit by an apple and open your mind?"

These analyses are closely linked. Although they are not as sure as Xu Ye, they are also 70% sure that they can confirm the target of the attack of the virtual demon.

"Fang Xin, did you deduce this conclusion yourself?" Cao Sha also asked with a little faster breathing and a little excited.

"Nonsense, of course it's me!" Fang Xin stood with her chest folded and pouted.

But soon, including Xia Li, three pairs of eyes narrowed slightly and stared at her with suspicion.

"Okay, it's not me!" Fang Xin pouted bitterly, and finally sighed, "It was the high school student who deduced it yesterday."

"I just met him downstairs."

She briefly described the process of her meeting Xu Ye, but did not talk about the conflict between the two.

"That guy is really a genius!" Cao Sha did not dwell on it too much, just exclaimed, and then quickly returned to the table and drew a red circle around the area near the west of the city with a pen!

"If his deduction is correct."

"That virtual demon must be hiding in this area!"

"Guo Yan! Pass this conclusion to the technical department and let them use the city surveillance in the west of the city!"

"Today, we must check all the possible hiding places of the virtual demon and find him out!"
