Special ancient coins

Unfortunately, it's a pity that there are no shops open on Jade Street now.

Glancing at the billboard at the street corner, Gu Lin realized that this place had merged with

Antique Street not long ago, so now it only opens for business at noon.

But since he was already out, he couldn't return empty-handed.

Gu Lin first went to the ground floor of a nearby large shopping mall, where there were often many jewelry stores.

With the convenience of having space in hand, allowing him to easily sense nearby spatial artifacts, Gu Lin considered it as going for a stroll.

Such things should be hard to come by, so Gu Lin treated it as an experience of the last bustling scene of this world.

There were only three days left until the apocalypse arrived.

By then, this peaceful and beautiful world would no longer exist.

Endless disasters and calamities would continuously compress the living space of humanity.

In order to survive, people would exhaust all means, and order would gradually disintegrate...

Gu Lin wanted to find another spatial artifact for a simple reason.

He wanted to reserve one for Gu Xue, so that when she truly recognized the world's changes after the apocalypse, he could give her the spatial artifact.

With Gu Xue's intelligence, she wouldn't be kept in the dark about Gu Lin having a storage space.

Moreover, the siblings couldn't live together forever.

Apart from entering the base later, there would be times when Gu Lin had to go out on missions, and Gu Xue would inevitably grow up.

When she grew up, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to continue living with Gu Lin.

It was more prudent to arrange a storage space for Gu Xue as well.

Before taking away the jade and jadeite stuffed into the space by Bai Weivi, Gu Lin hadn't really thought about finding another spatial artifact.

At that time, he had tried to control the space in the bamboo building and open up a storage area for Gu Xue, but without success.

However, what disappointed Gu Lin was that after circling the ground floor of the mall, he didn't sense any unusual fluctuations.

Could it be that his perception was wrong, and he didn't have a special sense for spatial artifacts?

Thinking this, Gu Lin discreetly took out the special jadeite bracelet from the space, using his coat pocket as a cover.

As soon as the slightly cool jade touched his hand, Gu Lin distinctly felt a strange fluctuation.

It was a prompt from the space connected to his consciousness.

Gu Lin once again directed his consciousness towards the special light pink jadeite on the bracelet, confirming that it contained a space of about ten square meters.

After putting the jadeite bracelet back into the space, the strange fluctuation disappeared.

It seems that he didn't lose his perception of spatial artifacts after all. In other words, he walked around and didn't sense anything because there were simply no spatial artifacts in this mall.

Indeed, spatial artifacts are not easy to come by. Bai Weiwei's luck is really surprisingly good.

Gu Lin left the mall empty-handed and made several trips with his car to load up on rabbit and cat food.

He also bought some grass seeds for Gu Xue.

There were a few empty planting boxes in the greenhouse, which could be used to plant grass to improve the rabbits' diet.

After filling up the trunk and back seat of his car, Gu Lin went for a drive.

With his mental power covering everything, all the loaded items were instantly stored in the space.

After several trips, it seemed like he had almost emptied out the pet store.

After finishing all this, it was already noon.

Gu Lin drove to the antique and jade street, but didn't get out of the car.

Instead, he took out a boxed meal from the space and ate it in the car seat.

Because every time Gu Lin stocked up on cooked food, he would order a variety of dishes from the entire fast food restaurant, letting the owner mix and match them into boxed meals as he pleased, as long as they ensured a balance of meat and vegetables.

Now, eating these boxed meals felt like opening a blind box for him.

This time he got stir-fried mixed vegetables, sautéed pork slices, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and shredded pork with green peppers blind box, not bad.

The portion of rice in the boxed meal was not small, but for Gu Lin, it was still a bit insufficient.

It seemed that since his ability level had increased, his appetite had also grown.

After quickly finishing the boxed meal, the shops on the antique and jade street gradually opened their doors.

Some people set up stalls with backpacks on their backs, spreading a cloth on the ground and displaying small items from their bags on top.

When encountering such small stalls, one must keep a distance.

If you accidentally break something on their stall, they'll try to extort however much they can from you, without any regard for reason!

Gu Lin had the fortune to witness a poor guy crushing several items under his Mercedes.

While some of the antiques were half genuine and half fake, he had to compensate generously, and it was close to having his

Mercedes confiscated.

Seeing that almost all the shops on the street had opened, Gu Lin found a blind spot in pedestrian and surveillance view from the car, and took out a backpack from the space.

It was a simple hiking backpack, medium in size, with some cash inside.

If he really bought something later, he couldn't carry everything in his hands, and his pockets might not fit everything either.

To avoid exposing the space in front of others, Gu Lin had to make preparations in advance.

With the backpack on his back, Gu Lin got out of the car and headed straight for the antique and jade street.

Gu Lin wasn't knowledgeable about antiques, so he didn't linger at antique shops or stalls, but planned to go directly to the places selling jade ornaments.

However, just as Gu Lin passed by the last antique stall, that unusual fluctuation occurred.

Gu Lin's pace paused for a moment as he glanced at the stall selling jade bracelets not far away.

No, the fluctuation didn't come from there.

They were already very close to the jade area, and Gu Lin's gaze swept over almost all the jade jewelry stalls nearby, but he couldn't pinpoint the source of the abnormal fluctuation.

It wasn't until he looked at the small stall beside him—mostly displaying old items and a pile of ancient coins—that his gaze stopped.

There was an old coin that caught his attention, its patterns already blurred with age.

Sensing Gu Lin's gaze, the stall owner picked up the ancient coin. "Young man, interested?"

Gu Lin looked at the stall owner, his expression indifferent. "Hmm, how much?"

The smile on the stall owner's face disappeared instantly.

"If you're really interested, the price is fixed at twenty thousand."

Gu Lin remained expressionless. "Twenty."

The smile on the stall owner's face vanished instantly.

"Are you serious about buying? Are you playing tricks on me?"

Gu Lin still had an extremely calm expression. "Fifty, at most."

Oh no, he's encountered an expert!

Knowing he couldn't swindle money out of him, the reluctant stall owner said, "One hundred, let's just call it making a friend!"

Gu Lin yawned lightly. "Thirty."

Why is it getting lower and lower?

Although this thing wasn't worth much, bargaining like this was too harsh!

The expression on the stall owner's face couldn't hold up.

"How can you bargain like this? Young man, you're not being fair!"

Gu Lin glanced at the stall owner, then turned around and walked away without a word.

The stronger the desire to buy shown at these antique stalls, the more the owner would fleece you.

Only by showing an indifferent attitude of "I'll buy it if the price is right, otherwise I'll leave" was the right way to bargain!

Sure enough, Gu Lin hadn't taken two steps when he heard the stall owner's voice behind him:

"Hey! Young man! Okay, thirty it is, sold to you!"

Tsk, he set the price too high; it should have been twenty.
