Chapter 2 Looking for Ancient Coins
The electricity that took human beings hundreds of years to popularize was destroyed in an instant, and they returned to a dark primitive society.
This is not the scariest thing.
After the sun exploded, it seemed to have fallen into a period of weakness. The giant fireball on which humans relied for survival darkened visibly to the naked eye.
Within three days, the world plunged into a low temperature with an average temperature of more than 50 degrees below zero. The entire Blue Star was frozen and entered an extremely cold apocalypse.
More than 90% of species are becoming extinct.
Animals, plants, food, lower buildings, etc., are all frozen under the snowstorm and ice! !
Humanity is facing an unprecedented racial disaster!
Since then, a pack of instant noodles has become extremely valuable.
A lighter can make people fight with their lives.
…
Lin Shi returned to the room, thought for a moment, opened the safe, and took out an ordinary-looking bowl from inside.
The surface of this bowl is uneven, the color is gray and unremarkable, and there is a gap at the edge.
Take it out and squat on the roadside to beg.
Originally, Lin Shi found it strange that his father made a will specifically for a broken bowl.
But only after opening the bowl and gaining a space did Lin realize how special it was.
This is a cornucopia!
It requires something specific to open, or repair.
In his previous life, he restored the cornucopia by chance and gained space in the eighth year of the extreme cold apocalypse.
Unfortunately, at that time, the supplies found were not even enough to fill the stomach, let alone store.
What is most important after the end of the world?
It’s supplies!
It’s something you can carry with you without fear of being snatched away!
The first thing he has to do now is to open this cornucopia!
The thing that opened the cornucopia was found in the antique market in the south of the city by Lin Shi in his previous life.
It was better to do it sooner rather than later. That thing was related to his greatest reliance after his rebirth. Lin Shi decided to leave immediately.
He found a backpack, put the cornucopia in it, and went out with the bag on his back.
When he went downstairs and saw a breakfast shop, Lin remembered that he hadn't had breakfast yet.
He was used to starving in the last days. He often couldn't find food for two or three days and could only eat some snow to stave off hunger.
Lin Shi walked into the breakfast shop and wolfed down a hearty breakfast.
After eating, according to the memory of the previous life and the navigation aid, we drove to the antique stall market in the south of the city.
Early in the morning, hundreds of stalls were set up on one street of the antique market, and it was bustling with people coming and going.
It was here that Lin Shi and Zhao Xiao dug up the key items for repairing the cornucopia in his previous life——
An ancient coin with a special pattern.
The ancient coin in his previous life was dug out under the thick snow. Lin Shi could only confirm that it was in this antique market. The specific location could no longer be identified and he could only look for it one by one.
The most popular items in the antique market are ancient coins.
There are them in almost every stall, and there are hundreds of them in piles.
After searching for two hours, Lin Shi still couldn't find the ancient coin with a special pattern.
His eyes were a little serious.
I just made inquiries and found out that this antique market only gathers stalls on weekend mornings.
Moreover, the stall owners who come to sell their stalls are not fixed every time.
This is undoubtedly bad news.
If the stall owner who owned that special ancient coin had only been out here on the day of the apocalypse, wouldn't he have to wait three months to find it?
Then the advantage of your own rebirth will be greatly reduced.
The stalls on this street will be closed in an hour or two. If you can't find one anymore, you'll have to come over next weekend to try your luck.
"call…"
After exhaling, Lin Shinai calmed down and continued looking for the next stall.
"Lin Shi?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind.
Lin Shi's eyelids rose, and murderous intent flashed through his clear eyes.
Lin Shi would never forget this voice even in his dreams.
Zhao Xiao, Lin Shi's classmate and friend from junior high school to high school, was the one who betrayed him after eight years of trouble in the last days.
Condensing the murderous intent in his eyes, Lin Shi turned his head and said in surprise:
"Zhao Xiao? Why are you here?"
Zhao Xiao, who was wearing an urban management uniform, walked up and patted Lin Shi on the shoulder.
"I also want to ask why you are here? What? The top student actually wants to play with antiques?"
Zhao Xiao said jokingly, looking at Lin Shi with a handsome face and valuable clothes, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Lin Shi, who lived one life longer than Zhao Xiao, took this jealousy into his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
It turns out that at this time in his previous life, Zhao Xiao was dissatisfied with himself.
Zhao Xiao is a temporary employee of the City Management Bureau, so it is not surprising that he appears here.
He calmly brushed away Zhao Xiao's hand on his shoulder and said casually:
"I have nothing to do on the weekend. I heard there are a lot of antiques here, so I came over to take a look."
Zhao Xiao smiled secretly in his heart. He had been working nearby for almost a year and knew that this street was full of scams.
There are quite a lot of people who come here with the idea of picking up leaks, but not one of them can really pick up leaks every year.
Last time, there was a stupid young man who was defrauded of hundreds of thousands and came to cause trouble.
But he wouldn't tell Lin Shi this. He hoped that Lin Shi would be fooled. Anyway, Lin Shi was not short of money.
The superficial relationship still needs to be maintained, otherwise how could Lin Shi be cheated? Zhao Xiao said with a smile:
"There are a lot of fakes here, as well as genuine ones. Half a year ago, an old man spent 200 on a simple authentic Han Dynasty product here and sold it for 500,000!"
A normal nineteen-year-old young man wouldn't be excited after hearing this. Even someone who was just looking at it would want to buy two pieces to try.
Lin Shi didn't show it on his face, but sneered in his heart. Why hadn't he noticed that Zhao Xiao was so insidious before?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He nodded to Zhao Xiao and said:
"Then I have to take a good look."
At this time, there was a commotion not far away.
Many people gathered around.
Driven by curiosity, Lin Shi also walked over.
Seeing the crowd, Zhao Xiao shouted:
"Give it! Give it! The city management is doing the work!"
The crowd did branch out.
Lin Shi took advantage of the situation and walked to the front.
A young man in his mid-twenties looked excited, holding an ancient coin and spitting:
"Old man! I took it to be appraised yesterday. It's a modern handicraft! It's fake!! You actually sold one for 100,000. Refund your money! You must give me your money back today!!"
The stall owner is an old man over seventy years old, wearing a coarse shirt, and the wrinkles on his aged face are now twisted together:
"This is really an ancestral treasure of my family!"
"What a bastard, you can't refund it! If you don't refund the money, I'm going to call the police!"
The onlookers nearby looked like they were watching a good show.
Even Zhao Xiao leaned into Lin Shi's ear and said:
"This kind of thing happens here every few months. In the past, this kid would have been beaten."
There is a rule in the antique world that if you buy an item, you cannot return it even if it is a fake. This shows that you are not good at learning and spending money should be used as a lesson.
But obviously, this young man didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, so he insisted on returning the product.
When Lin Shi saw the ancient coins in the young man's hand, his pupils suddenly shrank!
It's the ancient coin that opened the cornucopia!
The old man shook his hands and said with a bitter look on his face:
"This is really an ancestral inheritance of my family, from my grandfather's grandfather's generation. Young man, I didn't lie to you!"
Many people in the crowd looked at the young man with unkind eyes. Didn't this young man understand the rules?
At the same time, some people think that this old man is pretending to be the same thing.
People have gone to authenticate it, but can they still identify it as fake?
Lin Shi took a deep breath, walked up to the young man, and asked slightly curiously:
"Can you show me the ancient coins in your hand?"
