Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
When going from the 2nd to the 3rd floor, hand this transaction badge to the Waiter there, and they will exchange it for a 3rd-floor transaction badge. This process is the same for each ascending floor." After Liu Ning took out 50,000 yuan, These people gave Liu Ning a transaction badge. I'm very interested in your item." The moment Liu Ning's feet stepped onto the 4th-floor landing, someone immediately came over to greet him, and very enthusiastically at that, pointing to a table not far away.
"Please take your time, sir. This is the transaction badge. Please keep it safe. When you come again in the future, simply wear this transaction badge, and you can proceed directly to the 2nd floor without hindrance. When going from the 2nd to the 3rd floor, hand this transaction badge to the Waiter there, and they will exchange it for a 3rd-floor transaction badge. This process is the same for each ascending floor."
After Liu Ning took out 50,000 yuan, These people gave Liu Ning a transaction badge. This System was quite good. If All people were allowed to wander around everywhere, the wealthy people upstairs would be displeased.
Upon entering the 2nd floor, there were far fewer people here, a full 90% less than downstairs.
The items here were also of a much higher grade than those on the 1st floor. Liu Ning casually glanced at a few things; most were priced in the hundreds of thousands.
Liu Ning didn't plan to trade here either. His own items were far superior to these, so he headed straight for the stairs.
"Sir, if you wish to go up, you must at least present items worth 500,000 yuan, or show us a deposit of 500,000 yuan. We will then exchange your badge for a 3rd-floor transaction badge."
The Waiter said with a smile. This place was different from the 1st floor. Those who could come up here almost all had assets in the hundreds of thousands, so it was better to speak more politely.
Compared to this attitude, Liu Ning thought of the Waiter at the main hall entrance, who seemed like he wanted to chase people out with a stick. This was a matter of class. Those browsing the 1st floor were likely a bunch of poor folks, so there was no need to be that nice to them.
After reaching the 3rd floor, the people here were even fewer. Moreover, starting from this floor, the trading was no longer in a counter-style format.
Basically, the shops here were fixed, each occupying a large room with areas for discussing business. Transactions here involved items worth around 500,000 yuan. If you didn't have such items, no one would attend to you.
Liu Ning still presented cash and didn't take out his own items. As long as someone could reach this floor, they naturally had that much money. 500,000 yuan in cash wasn't conspicuous here.
But if Liu Ning took out his items, who knew what the outcome would be.
"Sir, above this is the Advanced trading area. It's not enough to just present cash; you also need to bring items. The minimum value of the items cannot be less than 2 million yuan. As for the upper limit, we have no restrictions here. After all, this place is a Secondhand Market; there must be sellers for there to be buyers."
From this floor upward, the rules differed from those below. Downstairs, you could enter with either cash or items. But if you wanted to go up from here, you needed to have both.
If you didn't have these things, you probably couldn't go up. If Everyone who came here only wanted to buy, the market upstairs would quickly be emptied. So, to go up, you needed to possess the attributes of both a buyer and a seller.
Liu Ning smiled and nodded. This place was finally the floor where he should be trading. Liu Ning first presented 2 million yuan in cash, then took out a vase. This was a genuine antique vase.
The Waiter, of course, didn't have the ability to appraise it. When the vase appeared, the Waiter glanced at an old man not far away. The old man was likely a master of antique appreciation and nodded towards them. The Waiter then respectfully escorted Liu Ning upstairs.
In the First Leader's Storage Space, this type of antique occupied the vast majority of the space. In times of peace, one hoards antiques; in times of chaos, one buys gold. For someone like Liu Ning, how could he possibly have such things?
He didn't have the ability to appreciate them, nor did he have the interest. What he needed most now was money. The System also needed money, so he could only exchange these things for money.
According to Liu Ning's thinking, the current times were not merely chaotic; it should be an Apocalypse.
In such an era, how could anyone possibly like such things? Actually, Liu Ning was mistaken. In the years just after the Great Catastrophe, no one really focused on these things because Everyone struggled just to survive, let alone care about such items.
But now, peace had lasted for a long time, and some of the common people's lifestyle habits had re-emerged. This interest had continued among humans for thousands of years; it couldn't possibly have just vanished. So, the wealthy had resumed their refined pursuits.
When Liu Ning took out the vase, several Merchants nearby were all staring at him. Their eyes were very sharp.
After the Great Catastrophe, 90% of artifacts were destroyed. In that catastrophe, the most important thing was grain; other things were unimportant, so too many of those items were lost.
After the Great Catastrophe, when the retro trend arose, these antiques became even more valuable. But most were also technologically replicated. Genuine items like the one in Liu Ning's hand amounted to less than 1%.
Even if this floor didn't have this rule, Liu Ning would have had to take these things out. For Liu Ning, he wasn't too clear about the value of these items. Although Liu Ning had a Replication System, the value given by the Replication System wasn't very accurate either.
For example, when Liu Ning wanted to replicate the vase in his hand, it actually only required 1,000 yuan.
At this point, Liu Ning thought that the System must have some other rules. For instance, if something couldn't enhance Liu Ning's strength, or if it was purely decorative, then the replication price for that item would be relatively low.
Liu Ning had tried at home back then, attempting replication nearly 30 times in one go, but none succeeded.
Liu Ning thought this might be a prank by the System. The replication price for such purely decorative items was very low, but it just wouldn't let you succeed. Liu Ning didn't have the time to fiddle with this here, so he brought these items to the Secondhand Market to sell them off.
"Brother, impressive. First time here? How about going over there for a cup of tea? Let's sit down and have a proper talk. I'm very interested in your item."
The moment Liu Ning's feet stepped onto the 4th-floor landing, someone immediately came over to greet him, and very enthusiastically at that, pointing to a table not far away.
Liu Ning looked at this guy. The man looked quite sleazy and didn't seem like a good person. Would someone like this offer him a fair price?
