But even if antiques experts co here and spend a day, they still find it difficult to dig up a genuine item. And even if they do find a genuine item, it might turn out to be sothing worthless.
All in all, this shopping street is designed to attract tourists to Antique City and swindle their money!
At this mont, a stall was surrounded by people, imdiately attracting Tang Yun and Lu Xuan's attention. Tang Yun hastily said, "Lu Xuan, let's go over and take a look. It seems quite lively."
Lu Xuan nodded and walked over with her, squeezing through the crowd to face the small vendor, and to Tang Yun and Lu Xuan's surprise, there was only a severely rusted Ancient Iron Sword on display.
This Iron Sword was about 3 feet long, covered in rust spots, but judging by its appearance, it seed to be an ancient sword. The vendor was yelling, "This sword was just fished out of the pond by . It's absolutely an authentic ancient iron sword, and it's being sold at a big discount!"
"This sword should be real, just look at the forging patterns," a man standing in front of the stall loudly pondered.
And the man next to him quickly followed up, "Makes sense. This Iron Sword has such thick rust, which couldn't have ford overnight. It must be several hundred years old for the rust to reach this level.
Anyone with keen eyes could tell these two were shills, part of the sa group as the vendor, everyone had sly smiles, thinking, do they take us for fools? Who would buy that crappy sword? You should know that swords forged in ancient tis, if they've survived, are all Copper Swords. Hardly ever does one hear of Iron Swords being unearthed.
Even the tourists visiting weren't skilled in identifying treasures, but they had so basic sense.
"Everybody look, it's definitely a genuine but replaceable ancient Iron Sword, and it's only 10,000 bucks!" The vendor yelled, determined to sell this Iron Sword.
10,000 bucks? Why don't you go rob soone! Everyone thought disdainfully, but no one said it aloud. In unfamiliar places, it's better to keep a low profile.
Tang Yun chuckled; this vendor's acting was just too poor. Anyone with a bit of intelligence wouldn't fall for it!
"10,000 bucks, that's too cheap," yet the vendor's two shills continued their self-directed performance, completely imrsed in their own shoddy acting.
One of them sighed, "Unfortunately, I didn't bring that much money, otherwise I'd definitely buy it!"
"Yeah, too!" echoed the other shill.
"Pfft!" Several tourists couldn't help but burst into laughter, causing the two shills to imdiately glare at them, "What's so funny! What's there to laugh at!"
The two shills imdiately revealed a nacing light, clearly not good people. Judging by their rustic vibe, they surely were local villagers.
And Antique City is extrely remote, situated in a suburban area of Southern Province, leading everyone to think, poor mountains and bad waters breed troubleso people who are shaless and lack intelligence!
At this mont, these three people appeared more like a team, making everyone think that whoever falls for it is undoubtedly the biggest fool around.
Tang Yun thought so too!
Just as everyone was about to leave, a shocking voice rang out, "I'll take this sword!"
"Uh!" The crowd was stunned; is there really soone this foolish? Good grief, is this person defying fate knowing it's fake and still wants to buy it?
When everyone looked towards the voice, they saw a harmless smiling face, a chiseled jawline, a slender figure, seemingly not like soone foolish.
However, when Tang Yun heard Lu Xuan shouting out this sentence, her whole being felt bad; she was both amused and annoyed. Even if I know you're very, very wealthy now, you shouldn't be a fool and let people laugh at you.
Tang Yun was about to faint with anger, knowing it's a scam, yet you jump right in, has your nerve short-circuited?
"Lu Xuan, what's wrong with you," Tang Yun gritted her teeth and said, while Lu Xuan just laughed, "I think this sword is real."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the vendor with the eight-character moustache was so excited he almost jumped up, nearly crying, thinking to himself, how lucky am I, been setting up this stall for days without earning a penny, today encountering this fool, I'm so happy I could cry!
The vendor's two shills also grinned from ear to ear; the boss is truly wise, even with poor acting and the sword's shabby appearance, they can still co across soone blind, finally hitting the jackpot today!
At this mont, the three were wildly joyous within, wishing they could light fireworks in celebration.
"This brother surely knows his stuff," the vendor laughed heartily.
Lu Xuan nodded, "Hmm, but about the price."
"The price can be negotiated," the vendor excitedly rubbed his palms together, chuckling, even if it's bargained down to 2,000 bucks, it's sales.
Hey, he doesn't seem foolish; he even knows to haggle! The crowd was interested; none left, continuing to surround the stall.
Hence, the onlooking tourists thought Lu Xuan was rely blind. But as soon as this thought arose, Lu Xuan added, "But about the price—it's too cheap!"
"Thunk, thunk, thunk," just as several tourists fell to the ground, all were dumbfounded; oh my god, this young man is truly defying the heavens, this IQ, absolutely missing out human probability, IQ must be in the negative, must be.
Buying things, you only hear about haggling down, never adding up the price, the crowd was simply thunderstruck, his head spinning; clearly a scamr, he falls for it and adds to the price, absolutely outrageous!
Tang Yun was practically angered to tears, her teeth grinding audibly; not only are you embarrassed but dragging into embarrassnt, have thoroughly shad !
"Damn you, Lu Xuan, where's your IQ," Tang Yun gritted her teeth and said.
Lu Xuan just pursed his lips and said, "Please don't insult my IQ!"
"You!" Tang Yun was at a loss for words to scold him, realizing scolding wouldn't wake him, simply walked aside to avoid sharing sha with him.
At this mont, the vendor was left trembling with excitent and surprise, involuntarily trembling, thanking heaven and earth for encountering such a simple-minded person.
The vendor thought even more about going ho and burning so fragrant incense for his ancestors, today has truly been insanely lucky!
And the two shills couldn't stop smiling, looking at Lu Xuan as if seeing gold, planning to ask for his phone number later, call him back tomorrow, fearing even if they shove a slaughtering knife his way, he'd buy it as an antique, haha—
