Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
This Fellow didn't examine the vase in Liu Ning's hand carefully, simply extending two fingers. If you had closed the deal with that fellow just now, you'd have been screwed." On the surface, This Fellow seemed like a good person, but what the real situation was, Liu Ning still didn't know. This Fellow often dealt with newcomers here, usually giving them a fair price initially and making money from them later.
"All of these pieces of mine are genuine. What price can you offer?"
Regardless, this was the first person to come and test the waters. Liu Ning also took a look at what he had in his hand.
This Fellow didn't examine the vase in Liu Ning's hand carefully, simply extending two fingers. Liu Ning also knew what kind of things were being sold on this floor; it should be 2 million.
Those who buy antiques are clear about this—they'll casually give you a price and absolutely must not look too closely.
If you were to take it in your hand and examine it carefully, the price would double. Liu Ning had done his homework before coming.
Liu Ning's face showed no expression, but inwardly he was absolutely shocked. Looking at such an unremarkable vase, it was actually worth 2 million? What kind of joke was this?
Back when he was conscripted, even if he died, the compensation was only 10,000. Did that mean this thing could conscript 200 Patrol Team Members?
Human life was so worthless in the Apocalypse...
"You're at it again, trying to swindle a newcomer. Don't think just because others are a novice you can offer such a price. Even if you picked it up for free on the street, it wouldn't have that price. Before the Great Catastrophe, such a price was normal, but brother, this guy is notoriously treacherous."
With the first one testing the waters, a second person quickly came over. Judging by appearance, this was definitely a shrewd Merchant, different from the fellow just now.
Upon hearing the voice, the first Merchant's face filled with anger. This was simply here to ruin his business. But when he turned and saw this person's face, he immediately suppressed his temper.
It seemed this person had some influence on this floor, at the very least, the first Merchant couldn't afford to offend him. In business, who wouldn't prefer to deal with someone with power?
The sleazy Merchant awkwardly smiled, then without even greeting Liu Ning, turned and left. This showed his lack of clout; otherwise, he would have stayed to compete.
The Merchant who came later smiled. This Fellow was clearly not doing this for the first time.
"The one in your hand is genuine, as real as it gets. When it first appeared, who knows how many people took notice. In this antique market, 99% are fakes. When something like this first appears, it's hotly pursued by Others. It should be worth at least 3.5 million or more. If you had closed the deal with that fellow just now, you'd have been screwed."
On the surface, This Fellow seemed like a good person, but what the real situation was, Liu Ning still didn't know. However, looking at This Fellow's obvious wealth—just this set of clothes cost no less than several hundred thousand—he should be someone with means.
"Then are you interested? If you are, I'll transfer it for 4 million."
Liu Ning didn't wait for This Fellow to continue his spiel and directly quoted a price of 4 million. Perhaps the item's value was higher, but Liu Ning felt getting back 4 million would be enough.
Hearing this price, This Fellow's brow furrowed slightly. Liu Ning caught every change in his expression. This Fellow often dealt with newcomers here, usually giving them a fair price initially and making money from them later.
Of course, there were exceptions. If it was a long-term customer, then he would trade honestly, after all, such long-term customers were hard to find.
The price of 4 million was already not low. Originally, offering 3.5 million was already a high price in this market; otherwise, other people would have come to spoil the deal.
So much time had already passed, and no one else had come over. This indicated the price was acceptable for a deal. Now that Liu Ning had raised the price to 4 million, the profit margin was squeezed to its limit.
"Brother, you certainly know how to set a price. For this kind of item, this price is absolutely the limit. I won't make much profit either. If there were a pair, now that would be priceless."
In the antique trade, items are valued in pairs. But after the Great Catastrophe, where could one find so many complete pairs?
Hearing him say this, Liu Ning quickly opened the Replication System. Anyway, replicating once only cost 1,000. He'd just replicate like crazy.
Liu Ning had to admit, since getting this System, this was the fastest he'd ever clicked to replicate. If he had a mouse, it would probably be broken after this replication was done.
Three minutes, 190 replications.
But the result was the same—all failures. However, the money spent wasn't much, merely 190,000.
Replication successful...
He didn't know if it was the 200th-something time, but finally, such a prompt appeared. The replicated item landed in Liu Ning's bundle.
It was truly terrifying, replicating one item over 200 times for the first success.
"You... you..."
Seeing Liu Ning take out an identical vase from his bundle, This Fellow was truly dumbfounded. He really regretted saying what he just did. If he hadn't said that, this kid would have brought it out sooner or later, and then he could have bought both for 8 million.
Selling one vase for 4 million left him little profit, but two vases were definitely not as simple as 1+1=2.
If you really took two vases to sell, that would be tens of millions. That was the rule in the antique trade.
"That's what you said yourself just now. I have a pair here. Give me an appraisal!"
On the table in front of Liu Ning sat two vases, attracting several Merchants from the surroundings.
But These people all wore bitter expressions. With just one vase, they could still compete. But now it was a pair. In the antique trade, complete pairs rarely appeared, so These Fellows could only watch with envy, unable to afford the price. others certainly wouldn't just give them away for free.
So many people gathered around, all watching the Merchant sitting with Liu Ning. If This Fellow offered a low price, the surrounding people would immediately make offers. If the price was high, then it would go to the highest bidder. But he would absolutely not give up this pair of vases.
"47 million... That's the limit of what I can offer. If any of you have better channels, you're welcome to compete."
This Fellow's words weren't directed at Liu Ning, but at the people around them. If you have the capability, then let's compete fairly. If you don't, then go about your business; no need to crowd around here.
Sure enough, after Everyone heard this price, they basically all left. The price had already reached its limit.
They had previously seen two jars similar to these in an auction house, which sold for 45 million. Here, an extra 2 million was added. If they bought them, they definitely couldn't sell for this price. Only those with special channels could manage to sell them.
