Chapter 233 Flea Market
The new toy of the interspatial bag made Su Xiaofan play with it for a whole day, and he was going to try again when he had a chance to see if the living things could be put into the interspatial bag.
The next day Su Xiaofan wore a leather jacket, so that he could put all his things into the space bag, and then he only had to pretend to take things out of his pockets.
Green Island in winter belongs to that kind of slow-paced life, and very few people go out before ten o'clock in the morning.
When Frank came to pick up Su Xiaofan, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon. The business was good recently, and he hired an employee to help manage the coffee shop.
"Come on, Tom, I think you can get what you want."
Frank drove the car excitedly, "Every year, our free market on Green Island attracts many tourists. By the way, it seems that two Chinese people came yesterday."
"I hope so, but I'm not interested in seal teeth or anything like that."
Su Xiaofan's sense of anticipation is not too strong, if there is no matter about Lingshi, he would not bother to go to any trading market at all.
Foreigners have no history, and the things they can take out are nothing more than whale bones and seal teeth. These things are worthless in Su Xiaofan's eyes.
As for the two Chinese people coming to Green Island, Su Xiaofan is even less interested.
Isn’t it normal for Chinese people to appear on Green Island? In the past ten years, the number of Chinese people traveling abroad has definitely ranked first in the world. Even very unpopular tourist attractions will appear Chinese people.
"This is the town hall of our Green Island, and the transaction will be held here!"
More than half an hour later, Frank drove the car to a small town and parked outside the largest building in the town.
Many cars have been parked outside the building, most of which are buses. Obviously, they have attracted many tourists, and they are the main force in the trading market.
"It's kind of like a flea market."
It looked very quiet from the outside, but when Su Xiaofan walked into the city hall, he immediately felt lively.
In the hall with hundreds of square meters, at least seven or eight hundred people poured in at this time. I don’t know if all the people on Green Island have rushed here today.
In fact, foreign flea markets are equivalent to those stalls outside the domestic antique market. Seeing this scene, Su Xiaofan really felt kind.
"Tom, let's go to my booth."
Frank excitedly dragged Su Xiaofan to a booth more than ten meters away from the gate.
"Look, this is the purest handicraft carved from whale bones, and there are also sea lion teeth.
Look, only the most majestic male sea lion can have such long teeth. "
Frank enthusiastically introduced the things on his booth to Su Xiaofan.
Not to mention, the business was very good. When they first came, a tourist bought fifty dollars and bought a pair of small objects carved from whale bones.
"Okay, Tom, I've got to take care of business, you do what you want."
Seeing that the person in the booth was very busy, Frank quickly jumped to the back of the booth, picked up his handicrafts and started selling.
"Okay." Su Xiaofan nodded, but returned to the gate.
It’s not that Su Xiaofan is bragging about street stalls, all the people here combined don’t have as much experience as him.
If you want to pick up leaks on the street stalls, first of all, you can’t miss any stalls. No one knows which stalls will have good things.
The flea market on Green Island is very messy, but most of them are local specialties, which are hard to see outside.
Su Xiaofan was originally holding the attitude of playing, and looked at the stalls one by one, but there was nothing worth selling.
"Huh? There are also meteorite sellers here?"
When Su Xiaofan walked to the back section of the trading market, his eyes were fixed on a booth but he couldn't take his eyes off it.
There is basically no one in front of this booth, because the booths are filled with unremarkable stones or metals, which are far from being able to compare with those exquisite handicrafts.
But Su Xiaofan recognized it at a glance. The ones sold at this stall were meteorites, although they were just ordinary meteorites.
However, it was not these meteorites that attracted Su Xiaofan's attention, but something that looked like broken metal.
【Energy fragments, can be absorbed, is it absorbed? 】
The words that appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind were something he had never seen before. This was the fourth absorbable object that Su Xiaofan encountered besides meteorites, magic tools and Yin stones.
"Energy fragments, what are they?"
Su Xiaofan squatted down and checked. There were only four pieces of metal called energy fragments on the booth.
Su Xiaofan thinks it is metal, because the surface of these energy fragments presents a metallic luster, each piece is only the size of a baby's palm, dark and not very conspicuous.
"Hey man, what are you selling? Are they meteorites?"
Su Xiaofan raised his head and greeted the boss behind the stall. The boss was very young, he looked about 16 or 17 years old. I don't know which family's children came out to set up a stall to earn extra money.
"Of course, all you see are meteorites."
For Su Xiaofan, an oriental man who can speak Green Island language, the young man was very surprised. You must know that even many people in Damai country can't speak their local language.
"How do you sell these meteorites? Where did you get them?"
Su Xiaofan said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, has there ever been a meteorite rain on Green Island?"
"you do not know?"
The young man said: "The largest meteorite in the world once fell on the westernmost side of Green Island. It is said that it fell tens of millions of years ago. The crater is now submerged by sea water."
"Okay, but that meteorite has nothing to do with the meteorite you sell, right?"
Su Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders, "Man, my name is Tom, what should I call you?"
Su Xiaofan knows that if he wants to get acquainted with someone in the shortest time, he must first know the person's name.
"Hi Tom, just call me Victor."
Victor may have never been made friends like this before, he felt a sense of being respected, and suddenly became happy.
"I dug out these meteorites from the island. I thought they were unique, so I sold them."
Victor spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's a pity that no one knows the goods, and they don't even want to ask the price."
"Then let me open an account for you."
Su Xiaofan pointed to the pieces of energy fragments, and said with a smile, "Victor, how do you sell these meteorites?"
"Them? Fifty... No, Tom, you're my friend. Thirty dollars is all you need. I mean the thirty dollars are all yours."
Victor obviously came out to set up a stall for the first time, and his experience is seriously lacking. The more he is familiar with knives, the faster he should be, but the simple Victor actually gave Su Xiaofan a discount.
"Well, my friend, I feel that the price is very reasonable."
Su Xiaofan put his hand into the wallet, and with a movement of consciousness, one of the beautiful knives placed in the interspatial bag disappeared out of thin air.
When Su Xiaofan took out his hand, there was already a $100 bill in his hand.
"Oh, I don't have change, do you have anything else?"
Su Xiaofan handed the one hundred dollar knife to Victor, and at the same time put away the four energy shards, making a movement of putting them into the jacket, but in fact they had already been put into the interspatial bag.
"There is also this thing, I think it looks good, I want to keep it for myself."
After accepting the one hundred dollars handed over by Su Xiaofan, Victor hesitated for a moment, but still took out another item from his bag.
"Huh? What's this?"
Su Xiaofan took the thing that was about the size of energy fragments, it was a badge-like object.
On one side of this badge-shaped object, there is engraved a pattern that Su Xiaofan can't understand.
At first glance, there is nothing special about this badge.
But when Su Xiaofan probed with his divine sense, his face turned pale.
Because just after Su Xiaofan's consciousness penetrated into the badge, his consciousness disappeared for no reason. If Su Xiaofan hadn't retracted it quickly, the badge seemed to continue to absorb Su Xiaofan's consciousness.
【? ? ? The system is incomplete, the energy is insufficient, and it cannot be detected! 】
And when Su Xiaofan looked at the badge with the repair system, the repair system, which has never disappointed Su Xiaofan, unexpectedly gave three question marks and a message of insufficient energy.
Su Xiaofan raised his head, "I like it very much, can you give it to me?"
He said he wanted to buy it, if Victor was willing to sell it, that’s fine, but even if Victor didn’t sell it, Su Xiaofan had to get this brand.
Since the repair system has been in place, there is nothing that the system cannot see, so the badge-shaped sign in front of me is very likely to be a higher-level existence than the system.
Of course, Su Xiaofan's repair system is also incomplete, and it has only been updated to more than ten percent. If all repairs and updates can be completed, it should not be worse than this brand.
"It's for you for $20, Tom, do you think it's okay?"
Victor thought for a while, and said: "I want to buy something, I need a little money, otherwise I will give it to you, Tom, you are my friend!"
"Victor, since we are friends, I will buy this brand for seventy dollars."
Su Xiaofan winked at Tom, "Even if I sponsor my friend to buy what he needs, Victor, you can't refuse your friend's help!"
Whether it is energy fragments or this small brand, they are very precious things to Su Xiaofan, and he would feel ashamed to ask Su Xiaofan to take advantage of the children.
"Okay, Tom, when I get my electric drill, I will definitely invite you to dig the baby."
Victor nodded happily, and told his purpose of making money.
"Honey, are you referring to these things?"
Su Xiaofan was taken aback when he heard the words, but he reacted immediately.
"Yes, but not until six months later."
Victor said with some distress: "It's a polar night environment now, and the temperature is too low, I can't go there."
"That's not in a hurry, maybe I will come here again in six months."
Su Xiaofan smiled and took out the phone, "Maybe we can add a contact information, and I will accept your invitation then!"
"Okay, Tom, you are my first friend from the East!" Victor imitated the adults, and exchanged phone numbers with Su Xiaofan.
"Well then, my friend, see you later!"
Su Xiaofan shook hands with Victor, which made the little guy puff up his chest again, only adults would shake hands to say goodbye.
"How much repair value can be increased by energy fragments?"
After Su Xiaofan left Victor's booth, he walked directly outside. There was nothing attractive about these things in the city hall.
Now Su Xiaofan can't wait to know the value of these energy fragments, maybe they may become a recharge channel for repair value other than meteorites.
Just when Su Xiaofan was about to leave the city hall, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a group of people rushed in in the cold wind.
"Huh? Don't understand?"
Su Xiaofan couldn't help being stunned when he saw the two tall and round people in front, he didn't expect to meet someone he knew thousands of miles away.
"Huh? Su Xiaofan?!"
Dong Bubu, who was walking directly opposite, also saw Su Xiaofan, and his face was also dull. The chance of meeting acquaintances in such a place where birds don't lay eggs is really too small.
"Why are you here?!" The two asked this sentence at the same time.
Su Xiaofan remembered what Frank said about the arrival of two Chinese people, but he didn't expect that it was Dong who didn't know how to come.
"Okay, let's talk differently."
Su Xiaofan looked at Dong Dabin behind Dong Bubu, and said, "Uncle Dong, where do you live? Can you return it? Live with me for a few days."
"You... hey, don't call me uncle, I don't deserve it, do you understand?"
Dong Dabin looked at Su Xiaofan with very complicated eyes. Although the Qinling restricted area was blocked by relevant departments, well-informed people like Dong Dabin still knew some inside information.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Dong didn’t understand, but he didn’t know about Qinling’s forbidden zone. He was dissatisfied when he heard his father’s words, “Xiao Fan is my buddy, so I have to call you Uncle Shi? Can I be called Uncle Xiaofan?”
Su Xiaofan was a little dumbfounded by these two men, especially he was not used to Dong Dabin's catchphrase.
After finishing a good sentence, it sounds very embarrassing to have to add a sentence if you understand it.
"Bastard boy, it's still taking advantage of you to call me uncle."
Dong Dabin slapped his son on the head, "I have to call you Uncle Shi."
"Hey, let's talk about each other, according to age!"
Su Xiaofan gave a wry smile, waved his hands and said: "You are older than me, I call you Uncle Dong, which is commensurate with not knowing that we are still brothers."
"That's fine."
Dong Dabin nodded when he heard the words. He is a child of old age. He was already in his fifties or sixties when he gave birth to Dong Bubu, and now he is in his seventies or eighties. It is really embarrassing to call him Uncle Su Xiaofan.
"Where do you live? Do you have any luggage to take?"
Su Xiaofan realized that this is really not a place to talk, so he said immediately: "Wait for me, I'll find someone to take us back."
Turning around and returning to the market, Su Xiaofan pulled Frank out and directly bid $10,000, saying that two people would live with him in the next few days.
As for Dong Dabin and his son, Su Xiaofan didn't ask any further questions. The domestic cultivators who came to Green Island naturally wanted to go to the glacier restricted area.
Seeing the thick stack of Franklin, Frank naturally said nothing, drove the three of them back to the black hotel where Dong Dabin and his son lived, picked up their luggage, and then sent them back to the wooden villa.
"It's still Xiaofan, you can enjoy eating outside. This place is much better than ours."
Dong didn’t understand that he and his father signed up for a tour group to Green Island in the Damai Country. The living place was less than eight square meters, so the father and father were squeezed together, don’t mention how aggrieved.
After arriving at the wooden villa, Dong Bubuan excitedly went upstairs and downstairs several times, "This fireplace is nice, I wonder if I can get some firewood to barbecue in the house?"
"Wait until the restricted area to eat barbecue."
Su Xiaofan shook his head, looked at the two men, "Uncle Dong, you want to enter the restricted area, right? Why did you choose to come at this time, and you still bring your understanding?"
With Dong Dabin's cultivation base in the middle stage of foundation establishment, there is no problem entering the glacier restricted area, and he has some self-protection power to some extent.
But Dong is far behind if he doesn’t understand it. He is only in the middle stage of Qi training now, but his foundation is relatively solid.
And the timing of entering the penalty area is not very good. The battle between the camps is about to break out, maybe this year, maybe next year, in short, within three to five years.
The three arctic foxes ambushed at the entrance of the restricted area last time, which sent a bad message. The suppression of the living space of cultivators by extraordinary creatures is getting bigger and bigger.
Fortunately, the three arctic foxes, Chaofan, were killed by Su Xiaofan and Elder Yang, and the confrontation between the five cultivators and Chaofan later gave them a great shock, and temporarily eased the situation in the restricted area.
But for Dong Bubu, the glacier restricted area is still too dangerous for him, not to mention that he cannot refine it with a relatively high level of aura, and he can't even resist the severe cold in the restricted area.
Dong Dabin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Xiaofan, there have been some changes in the country recently, so I can't bring them here, do you understand..."
"Uncle Dong, I don't understand!"
Su Xiaofan was really speechless about Dong Dabin's catchphrase, "Let me tell you what I don't understand, Uncle Dong, if you don't correct your problem, stop talking when you get to the glacier restricted area, or I'm afraid you will be beaten to death!"
"Ahem, I can't help it, I really can't help it, you know..."
Dong Dabin shut his mouth tightly in the middle of what he said. He also knew how hated his mantra was. If he hadn't been an elder in the Dong family, he would have been beaten at least three times a day.
"I don't understand, tell me, what happened in China?"
Su Xiaofan has been out for a few months this time, and he really doesn't pay much attention to domestic affairs.
"More than two months ago, I discovered that when entering the restricted area, I don't need to wear a magic weapon. I can directly absorb the aura of the restricted area and refine it."
Dong Bubu was much more reliable than his father, "I have grown rapidly recently, and I am about to enter the late stage of Qi training, so my father brought me to find the ancestor, and wanted me to practice in the glacier restricted zone. "
"Has there been a change in the aura in the country?" Su Xiaofan was taken aback when he heard that, then took out his cell phone and called his sister.
Hearing the blind voice coming from the phone, Su Xiaofan called Mo Zixuan again, but it was also a blind voice.
Jing Shizhen and Lu'an couldn't get through, but Hualong got through, but he didn't answer the call himself, and he had to make an appointment to make a call.
"Have you all entered the restricted area to practice?"
Su Xiaofan put down the phone, looked at Dong Bubu, and said, "The Qinling Mountains have been knocked down, you can go there, the environment in the glacier restricted area is very bad."
"I... my dad said I deserve a beating, no, it's because I lack experience, so I have to find a place with a harsh environment to hone me."
Dong Bu Bu Bu accidentally told the truth, and peeked at his father, his face full of an expression that life would be worse than death.
