The Witcher: Synthesis of Everything

Chapter 12 Three years after opening

…

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.

Lin Suo wandered around various antique shops, buying fake antiques of the elves from various antique shops at low prices in a deceptive way.

As for how to determine, the store is selling fake goods.

He only needs to pretend not to understand Elvish language and express his admiration for Elvish culture.

Ninety-nine percent of the stores will buy him a set of fake elven antiques.

I visited more than ten antique stores in a row.

Spending money on hardware.

Thirty-eight pieces of ancient elven pottery jars of different qualities were purchased.

There were good ones once, but they were all fake.

Lin Suo laughed sinisterly and combined a large number of books written in Elvish that he bought from elsewhere and ate them together.

Elvish +3(6/100)

A quick way to learn foreign languages!

It's a pity that only language can be solved quickly through tricky methods.

The enhancement limit has been exceeded to +3, which is already the purple level. Like Padolon Common Language, various derivative applications of this language, allusions and idioms within the clan, can be applied with great proficiency.

Including the ancient version, the most orthodox ancient Elvish language, he can also interpret it perfectly, starting from the techniques, vocabulary and habits.

Then use the method of [superimposing composites].

While strengthening the quality of the antique crock pot, we can change the details as desired and add the traces of time.

Make it yellow and discolored, and add a little dirt that goes deep into the pottery.

The imitation is perfect.

There is a sacrificial inscription written in the ancient Elvish language on the outside of the antique earthen jar that was made with great effort, indicating that this thing was used to worship the Elf Mother Tree.

Then draw a hidden royal symbol.

Treat it as a "blood profit" surprise for the buyer.

"Perfect!"

After looking at this flawless antique, Lin Suo thought about it and disguised himself as a traveler passing by on a boat.

Find the antique shop that previously tricked him into buying a nine-piece ancient elf set.

【Uncle John Antique Shop】

The owner of this shop is an extremely money-grubbing villain, and he sees exactly this and has a slight sense of revenge.

Lin Suo came to the door, lowered the brim of his hat, and his voice was dry and hoarse.

Bang bang bang.

The old classic wooden display cabinet was knocked.

Old John wore a wooden-framed monocle and stood up from the counter. When he touched the antique crock, his impatient expression changed in an instant.

He moved closer to the earthen pot like a man possessed and observed it carefully.

"The textures, fonts, paintings, including the style of the sacrificial inscriptions are all consistent."

"How much do you want to sell for?"

Lin Suo rolled his eyes, seemingly not recognizing him.

Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and made a five.

Old John went crazy on the spot, his voice was like a sharp and impatient child.

"Fifty thousand gold? That's too much. This antique of yours is not without flaws."

"The clay it uses is not quite like the fine star clay. The color of the pottery is not pure enough and the gold dots have turned black, although this may be due to the influence of time."

"But real star soil has gold spots like gold, which are difficult to remove. This quality is not perfect enough and is not worth so much."

Lin Suo silently wrote this down, never mentioning that the black spots that penetrated deep into the pottery were dirt, not changes caused by decay...

The voice is hoarse.

"Then how much did you say?"

Old John hesitated for a while and then subtracted zero.

"Five thousand?"

Five thousand gold is actually very consistent with Lin Suo's psychological base price, and selling it for fifty thousand is too whimsical.

Even if the antiques of ancient elves are valuable, they are not that valuable. The price of perfect items is between 20,000 and 30,000.

If it were a royal sacrificial vessel, the price would definitely exceed 100,000 yuan.

With Old John's greedy character, he would definitely make a lot of money at this price. Lin Suo ignored his arguments and finally set the price at 10,000 gold coins.

It was Lin Suo who accidentally pushed the jar over, and was caught by old John by chance. He also happened to see the royal symbol at the bottom.

He changed his tune and gave Lin Suo an anonymous gold ticket, which could be exchanged for gold coins at any bank in the Dandong Empire.

This is a policy introduced by the empire's businessmen to seize the empire's wealth, invest in various industries, and then slowly withdraw the capital when it starts to make profits.

It is considered a capital-free investment, with policy support. In addition, it is a government-owned industry of the ruler. The family members are responsible for the management, and there has never been a loss.

Over time, you will become richer and richer.

I heard that in the near future, the empire will issue banknotes to recycle gold and silver and replenish the national treasury.

Back to the topic.

No matter where the antique industry is, it takes three years to open.

After finishing this job, Lin Suo was not ready to continue in a short time.

And Uncle John's Antique Shop.

Old John took out a magnifying glass and looked at the jar inch by inch. He couldn't put it down.

With his channels, this thing can be sold at ten times the price, making a profit of 90,000 yuan!

There are as many as his entire antique store.

I laughed at that stupid fool who did not know the goods and sold the sacrificial vessels of the ancient elven royal family at a low price, and my heart bubbled with beauty.

Suddenly, he smelled the smell of the earthen pot and felt that it seemed familiar.

I seem to have smelled it somewhere.

He was sure it was in his store.

"What is it? It's so strange..."

"etc!"

Old John lay down, took out the antique elf jar that was faked by the counter from the bottom of the counter, and sniffed it suspiciously.

"Fuck you bastard!!!!"

"I want to die from dermatitis!! Ahhhhhh!!!"

Wait until he runs to the nearest bank in a hurry.

When I brought out that familiar string of numbers.

The staff kindly told him that the account was empty.

Suddenly I staggered and wanted to go to the arbitration committee to report the case.

The wrinkled face suddenly relaxed.

He's not going!

Instead, I went to the flower shop and bought all kinds of flowers, and then went to the drugstore to buy some herbal powder. I became cheerful and my steps were very brisk.

In the secret, Lin Suo, who had changed his clothes and carried two handbags, witnessed the changes of old John throughout the process.

I understand in my heart.

There is room for improvement in taste and pottery quality.

the next day.

After staying in a hotel for one more night, Lin Suo hid the gold coins and went to the housing department with half of the funds.

Bought two properties using the identity of Rhine Lin.

There is one building in the Phil area and one in the mixed area.

The former serves as a safe house, stores a large amount of daily necessities, and then closes it directly.

The latter lives permanently and hangs out in the market.

Start building relationships and dealing with neighbors.

A set of procedures cost five thousand gold, and half of it was spent before the money was even warmed up.

The money came easily, so he didn't feel anything at all.

The house in the mixed-race area is a three-story building, antique, and he plans to use the first floor to run a bookstore and establish himself as a language master.

The second floor is temporarily a place for practicing breathing techniques, while the third floor is used for living alone.

I have money in my pocket, so there is no rush.

It wasn't until half a month later that I finally established a foothold on this street and got to know some people.

The bookstore also officially opened.

There are classic books of all races. Lin Suo made several sets of movable type printing molds at his own pace, bought paper from the factory, and revised them into volumes himself.

Except for the sample book, which cost him some money, the rest was all done through his own efforts. By the way, he learned the orc language, noble etiquette, the common language of the sea tribe, etc.
