Chapter 731 Is the Fake Necessarily Worse than the Real One?

What is a fake?

An item or object that is counterfeit, often refers to a cheap or fake imitation that is passed off as genuine to deceive, especially for profit.

There are no genuine products in the counterfeit shop. This is the tenet that the little old man has always adhered to, and it is also the tradition of this counterfeit shop. The rules of the shop clearly state that as long as genuine products are found, there will be no charge, but there will be rewards.

A dazzling array of small things were hung everywhere, including witchcraft weapons, magic ornaments, weapons and armors, antique documents, animal bone ores, and magic materials. Little Will even saw a half-meter-high "star meteorite", but this meteorite It looked so fake that people couldn't help but shake their heads.

The most important thing is that the fakes here are all sold at the same price as the real ones. Most people don't bargain, but Julian can only offer a 99% discount. The store does not look big from the outside, but it uses a lot of space inside. The expansion technique created a space of three to five hundred square meters, but even so it was filled to the brim with things.

Everything has a famous brand. When Xiao Weier saw the words "Black Dragon Essence and Blood", his face was full of shock, and he was also a little bit dumbfounded. You have to act like a fake, okay? This thing is basically, the influence Is dragon blood good?

The sealed bottle was also a low-level witchcraft, and the shadow dragon blood inside was very well preserved. Little Will threw this thing directly to Sophia, who was slightly confused. The counterfeit shop has rules, and each person is limited to She has already selected two of the three items and is currently selecting the third.

Could it be that the God's Favored One wants to buy too many things and wants me to buy one for him?

"Throw away that piece of fake Shadow Wood. It won't help you at all. It's a complete fake. It's not even a low-level magic weapon." Xiao Weier didn't want her to suffer too much. After all, she was the same as him. Get up. Lilith herself is not worried at all. Her identification skills are already very good, and the little guy with amazing intuition, Guai Liluo, will not suffer. Madam Night plunged into the works of art. The value of those things is not high, and She doesn't look at true or false at all, only good or bad.

Julian was more direct. He did not enter the store to play with cats there. In Xiao Weier's opinion, the one who was most likely to suffer was definitely Sophia, and the result was no surprise. She chose two fakes, both of which were ten times the price. A hundred times more fakes, Xiao Weier had to "admire" her eyesight.

Although there were a lot of things inside, the people present were not ordinary people and they were sorted out quickly.

Among them, the fastest one was Guai Liluo. This little girl just followed her instincts and directly selected three very weird things, a piece of black ore weighing a thousand kilograms, a small conch, and a withered branch. The total price of these items was more than 5,000 magic stones, which made Julian call him a profiteer.

“Ore is worthless;

The Deep Sea Shock Snail is a treasure that can awaken giant monsters sleeping on the bottom of the sea. The price tag of 500 magic stones is not exorbitant at all. The last one is an immortal branch. It can survive for a thousand years in the abyss of hell and survive for a thousand years after death. It is a rare item. What a great treasure. The price tag of 4,500 magic stones is simply a reasonable price. "The little old man spoke plausibly and boasted about things very powerfully.

Xiao Weir carefully inspected the three things, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said: "Although the three things are all fake, they still have some value, so it's not too bad. Xiao Luo just likes them."

Throwing out a pile of magic stones, they piled up into a hill. The little old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bright smile appeared on his face, which made the wrinkles on his wrinkled old face deepen. "Little guy" Yes, he is a cheerful person, completely different from the arrogant girl who chose ten pieces of magic stone and had to chat with the old man for three to five hours. "

"Haha" Julian rolled his eyes at him and said, "Old fake man, these little guys are all my guests, so you should give them a little commission anyway. My requirements are not high, eighty percentile is enough. Your shabby shop doesn't get more than three or five customers all year round, and even if you do come, there are almost no people who can spend magic stones generously on things. If I hadn't brought these rip-offs, how could you have made a fortune today without me having these magic stones? Done politely!"

"Pa~" Julian's hand was opened by the magic wand in the little old man's hand, and he immediately collected a bunch of magic stones, and then threw two magic stones to Julian: "Little girl, don't mess around, this is your agency fee, Cheng For a business deal, two magic stones are already much better than those wizard apprentices outside who only give one magic stone a day."

"Fake old man, don't go too far. Even if you are a second-level wizard apprentice, as long as you work hard, you can earn three to five magic stones a day. I am a dignified second-level constructor wizard. If you want to use this little bit, you will be able to make a fortune." You want to bribe me?" Julian stared at him fiercely, but the little old man remained unmoved and continued to inspect the things in Lilith's hands.

Two relatively fresh herbs and an elf-style magic ornament were worth less than a hundred magic stones in total, which made the little old man very unhappy: "You are such an old man, but you are not as happy as the little girl just now. Nine Eighteen magic stones, I’ll give you a round number, one hundred magic stones.”

Lilith threw out a hundred magic stones and said very generously: "The price is quite fair. In total, I still made a small profit."

"If you feel you have made a profit, then buy more things." The little old man curled his lips in displeasure. He indeed lost the business. Counterfeit goods are not necessarily cheaper than genuine goods. At least the three things Lilith chose. , each worth more than the price tag.

"You can only buy three items at a time, otherwise I will probably choose thirty items." Lilith pointed to the rules in front of the door. The little old man just pretended that he couldn't see it. He didn't like such customers, and he definitely wouldn't. Will say welcome again.

As a person with secondary authority in a small space, Mrs. Night can be regarded as a little rich woman. She usually takes on tasks just out of interest. She never worries about things like magic stones, and she never feels wronged by making do in life. For herself, the three works of art cost her more than five hundred magic stones. Just looking at the little old man's attitude towards her, she knew that she had suffered a big loss.

"How can works of art be measured by money, magic power, and effects? It's so vulgar!" Regarding Xiao Weier's evaluation, Madam Night directly responded with one sentence, and then continued to happily appreciate her new harvest, but this sentence was Just ask the little old man to be extra kind and allow her to buy one more fake product at the original price.

This privilege made Madam Night extremely happy. She directly picked out the artwork that she had previously favored but abandoned due to quantity reasons. It was a very wild root carving with a price tag of 200 magic stones. It was marked as a statue of a god, a very primitive and desolate sculpture. A statue of a monster worshiped by the indigenous people on the island.

Seeing Mrs. Night caressing the half-human, half-tentacled monster's root sculpture affectionately, everyone quietly took a half-step back, leaving her with a black line on her face.

"Hmph, a bunch of vulgar people, do you know what art is?" Madam Night's words did not earn the little old man's appreciation, because he could not appreciate the root carving either.

Sophia's three products were worth 3,800 magic stones. When he saw the bottle of "Black Dragon Essence and Blood", the little old man was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly in approval, but didn't say much, but Sophia still passed The expression on the little old man's face revealed that he might have lost money on the three items he purchased, except for the bottle of "Black Dragon Essence and Blood" given to him by the God's Favored One.

When it was Little Will's turn, the little old man had a slightly weird expression. It was not because of anything else, but that this kid actually chose three big items. He held a wooden sculpture weighing more than a thousand kilograms in his left hand, and a "meteorite" three feet high in his right hand. There is also a fake "vampire mummy" behind him.

"You kid is indeed interesting, but you don't think that the bigger something is, the more likely it is to be true, right?" Although the little old man kept his eyes closed and basked in the moonlight, he could clearly see everything that happened in the store, especially the Judging from the fact that this boy asked the little girl from the Shadow Clan to choose "Black Dragon Essence and Blood", this boy should not be an ignorant person.

Little Will shook his head slightly: "It just happens to be useful to me."

The little old man looked at these three things carefully, expressed his affirmation of Little Will's strength and endurance, and marveled: "You seem to be an extraordinary boy. Let me tell you the origins and names of these things. If you can tell me well, I will You are allowed to buy another one.”

Little Will shook his head and refused: "Don't be too showy when taking advantage, otherwise you will be beaten. I know this very well. And if you want to buy something, why do you have to do it all at once? Just come back next time. You can't run away here."

The little old man looked at Little Will without saying a word with great interest. Julian couldn't help but remind him: "Boy, this fake shop basically doesn't entertain repeat customers. It's all one-time sales. This fake old man is very good at doing business." It's casual. Guests who are not advanced will not be entertained. Guests who don't like it will not be entertained. Whether the door can be opened or not depends entirely on the mood. And even if the door is opened, whether you can enter is still a problem. This old man is proficient in formations. "

Little Will helplessly shrugged and gave up. He weighed the "meteorite" in his hand and gave the little old man a very serious education: "This meteorite has an irregular shape, and there is a layer of black molten crust on the surface formed by burning and airflow conflicts. The air mark underneath also has ripples and streamline structures. These are the basic characteristics of meteorites. After verifying its weak magnetism and conductivity to the magic of the starry sky, it can basically be confirmed that this meteorite is authentic. ”

"Then there is this wooden sculpture. Although it looks a little newer, the rough techniques and materials can clearly be seen as the work of barbarians from the bitter cold land. However, these things can be faked, and fakes are not Imitation? But there are some things that are not easy to forge, and that is civilization. The patterns on this wooden sculpture are not just decoration, but a kind of prayer rune. If you study carefully, you can find that this is a barbarian. Although the basic inheritance is slightly incomplete, if you study it carefully, you will gain something."

"The last one is this mummy. How can I put it, a vampire mummy is not quite appropriate, but a mummy soaked in vampire blood is real. It is a common method to fake it by using a little bit of real materials to make it look like the real thing."

"You know it's fake and you still buy it?" The little old man's eyes looked a little weird. Is this kid really a master of appraisal? Identifying meteorites is basically a script, but the last two are quite accurate.

"Is the fake necessarily worse than the real thing?"
