Chapter 37 The Thief's Traces Are Vague
The two hit it off when it came to international trade. Xiao Ming took out some 0-1 level materials from the seabed, including pearls, corals, shells, seabed volcanic rocks, and some deep-sea seafood.
Seeing these things, Shopkeeper Huo almost drooled. It's not that he had never seen these things before, but he was very clear about the value of these things in inland areas like Wushan Town.
Especially those seafood, they are still fresh. This is no longer a question of how much money can be made, but how many previously closed trade routes can be opened with these things.
Real good things can never be bought with money alone, but must be bartered. Once the trade route is opened, the source of money will naturally roll in. That is definitely not something that can be compared with a little price difference.
These goods must be taken, regardless of whether the young man stole or picked them up. Moreover, he is likely to be acting on behalf of Mr. Guo.
Although he was also suspicious, why didn't Mr. Guo go directly to the top of the Chamber of Commerce? Or let it go, maybe there is something unspeakable.
Many things are afraid of brain supplements, and Xiao Ming is also a fox pretending to be a tiger. Shopkeeper Huo treated the explorer as Mr. Guo's spokesperson and had no intention of taking advantage of him.
The two quickly agreed on the details of the trade. Shopkeeper Huo bought these things at 8 times the price and opened up more advanced permissions to the explorer.
Of course, it was a long-term "temporary permission", which worked just as well in the game.
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, the explorer took out the bones and leather armor from his backpack, which scared Shopkeeper Huo.
After listening to Xiao Ming's explanation of the whole story. Shopkeeper Huo recalled for a while and sighed:
"Alas, I remember it. This happened before I arrived in Wushan Town, and the previous shopkeeper was also implicated because of this incident. I am not very clear about the specific details.
It happened more than ten years ago. There was a B-level worshiper of the Huo Chamber of Commerce, whose profession was a high-level thief.
This leather armor was made specifically for him by the Huo family back then. Look, here is the exclusive mark of the Huo family craftsman."
Xiao Ming looked closely and saw only a vague trace. It was really hard to imagine how Shopkeeper Huo could recognize it. He just continued to say:
"That year, he had evil intentions for some things that he shouldn't have coveted. After several hesitations, greed finally took over and he stole the things and disappeared without a trace.
The owner of the lost things got into trouble because of this. Even the Huo's Chamber of Commerce in Wushan Town was implicated.
At that time, everyone thought he had fled for fear of crime. Unexpectedly, this worshiper didn't escape at all. He died in your yard early. Your yard was where he lived back then.
But that year, people from all walks of life turned the small yard upside down and dug three feet into the ground but didn't find anything. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, his bones suddenly appeared again. It's really weird."
Storekeeper Huo closed his eyes and twirled his beard to think for a while, and then asked the explorer: "Little brother, are you sure there is nothing else in the pool?"
The explorer nodded. Shopkeeper Huo also nodded: "It should be so. If you don't mind, how about I take a few people to your house to check it out?" What else can I do? I can only agree.
A quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen people from the Huo Chamber of Commerce checked inside and outside the explorer's house, and the researcher cleaned up his things. Together with the explorer, he chatted with Shopkeeper Huo in the courtyard.
It was already dark at this time, and the three of them watched those people busy with torches. Xiao Ming also noticed that the mage deputy captain who was attacked on the night of the convoy was also among them.
On-site investigation in reality is very time-consuming. It is much simpler in the game. After a few skills, whether it can be found or not, there will be results immediately.
Not long after, everyone came to report that no abnormalities were found, and they did not avoid the two explorers.
Shopkeeper Huo shook his head, "You are still not good at learning. Diligence makes you good, but playing makes you poor. How long have you not done basic exercises?"
As he spoke, he sent out the identification spell to a place in the yard shaded by bamboo leaves, and immediately a small bunch of blue light flashed.
"Ah! It's a time-space spell!" Several people exclaimed. Although Xiao Ming did not say anything, he admired Manager Huo very much. What level of identification skills must he have? He was really well hidden.
"Yes, it is the remnant of the time-space spell." Manager Huo said calmly and affirmatively:
"This should have been a silent time-space gate, which was charged and used by a master in some way, and the traces were covered up.
This is an extraordinary move. Well, this matter is beyond our ability to handle, I will report it to the higher-ups. You don't have to worry about it, go back."
After that, he waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, and at the same time led the two explorers into the house.
"Manager Huo, are we really not going to care about it?" Xiao Ming was very curious.
"Little brother, don't call me big shopkeeper, big shopkeeper, it's too distant. Just call me Brother Huo if you're more intimate.
Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, my real name is Huo Yingying, I'm really embarrassed to mention it to others."
Shopkeeper Huo's face was slightly red at this time, and there was a little shyness in his smile. (You are so shy. This contrast is really cute...)
Zhang Xiaoming expressed deep sympathy, and he had a similar experience. Although his parents didn't give him such a shameful name. But it was too perfunctory.
"Xiaoming" is the most common name in textbooks from elementary school to university. When his parents named him, they didn't put any effort at all.
I heard Shopkeeper Huo continue to say: "Speaking of this matter, it has nothing to do with these people. But brother, I still have to report it to the Presbyterian Council. This matter is really no small matter!"
Shopkeeper Huo sighed a few words, then changed the subject, talking about romantic figures, local customs, etc.
Xiao Ming has always felt that shopkeeper Huo's identification skills are excellent since he just started, so he took the opportunity to ask for advice.
Huo Yingying didn't hesitate and discussed it with Xiao Ming in detail. The experience value of the Explorer's Appraisal Technique also increased along with it.
Then, Xiao Ming asked about archeology again, and Shopkeeper Huo looked even more differently at the explorer. You must know that shopkeeper Huo has not yet awakened to the art of archeology.
Xiao Ming did not hide his secrets, so he told Brother Huo about the professional combination of archeology. (He doesn’t know that his professional combination is actually far from enough. He relies on his special “physique”.)
This combination is almost absolute for players, but not so strict for free NPCs. Xiao Ming's message also gave Shopkeeper Huo a direction.
It's just that it won't be easy to buy antiques cheaply from now on. Shopkeeper Huo said that he would provide a large number of antiques for him to practice his skills.
At the same time, it also means that any big benefits discovered must be shared by both parties. Xiao Ming doesn't feel distressed at all.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shopkeeper Huo said goodbye and left, asking the explorer to stay in this courtyard for the night. A new residence would be arranged for him tomorrow morning. This courtyard had residual space-time energy and was no longer suitable for habitation.
——Xiao Ming actually doesn’t mind, but the Huo Chamber of Commerce does. They still need to continue investigating here.
To put it nicely, give them a suitable place to live. To put it bluntly, just get out of here quickly and don't delay other people's work.
