City: Start from participating in the Appreciation Program

Chapter 113
Luo Fan didn't expect that he would buy a car so quickly. When he got home, it was only noon, and there was still some time before dinner.

The weather is now at its hottest, even Rhubarb refuses to stay in the kennel outside, and runs to the villa to use the air conditioner every day.

In order not to enjoy the ravages of the scorching sun, Luo Fan decided to wait until after dinner before going to the dark market, since he had plenty of time anyway.

After taking a nap until 06:30 in the afternoon, Luo Fan stretched comfortably and started preparing dinner.

After ordering some food casually, it was after seven o'clock in the evening after eating, and Luo Fan planned to set off.

Due to the remote location and rich people's area, it is really unfriendly to people like Luo Fan who don't have a car. If there is not a subway nearby, Luo Fan can only walk to the dark market.

This is why Luo Fan bought a car. It would be too inconvenient if he didn't buy a car.

By the time Luo Fan arrived at the dark market, it was already eight o'clock. At this time, the sun had completely set and the sky was getting dark. It was a good time for the night market.

As soon as the dark market was mentioned, Luo Fan remembered that he seemed to owe a promise to the stall owner of Yuchan, but the other party didn't intend to ask him for the time being, so he naturally wouldn't ask him.

Although Luo Fan hadn't visited the dark market for more than half a month, due to the special nature of antiques, the dark market didn't introduce many new things, and they were all familiar faces, which made Luo Fan very speechless.

However, when Luo Fan was wandering around, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure. Isn't that person in front of him Qin Miaomiao?

Just when Luo Fan found Qin Miaomiao, Qin Miaomiao also found Luo Fan. Luo Fan was not embarrassed at all, and greeted him very naturally, saying hello, "What a coincidence, Qin Miaomiao."

Qin Miaomiao snorted coldly and said, "Where did you go some time ago? Why didn't you call me back?"

"Also, didn't we make an appointment to come together next time? Why did you sneak over by yourself and not call me?"

Luo Fan said with a smile: "I thought I didn't need you to bring me, so I just came by myself."

"And haven't we already met, so what's the difference between making an appointment or not?"

"Of course there is a difference. Didn't you bring rhubarb with you?" Qin Miaomiao said angrily, "You think I'm rare for you. If it wasn't for rhubarb, I wouldn't bother to talk to you."

"I don't care, I must get the rhubarb today, and after today is over, I must take me to your house."

Luo Fan said in surprise: "Qin Miaomiao, do you know what you're talking about? It's night now, what are you doing at my house at night?"

Qin Miaomiao said as a matter of course: "Of course I went to your house to pet the dog. By the way, I have practiced martial arts with Uncle Zhang since I was a child. I can kill three of you at once with such a showman!"

"I advise you not to have any extra thoughts, just give the rhubarb to me with peace of mind."

Luo Fan was speechless, is this girl's way so wild?
But since Qin Miaomiao doesn't care, so does he. Luo Fan said calmly, "Okay, anyway, my house has a guest room, as long as you don't mind."

"But I just came here, and I still need to go shopping, what do you say?"

"Of course I'm going to follow you, otherwise you won't run away if you don't pay attention?" Qin Miaomiao said to Luo Fan suspiciously.

"Alright then, follow along." After Luo Fan finished speaking, he walked directly towards his destination.

Since there were no targets on the booth, Luo Fan planned to go to the shops inside to see if he could get something.

The shop here is similar to the Qin Pavilion, but it is much more formal than the stalls. All the products displayed inside are genuine, at least the ones that the shop owner thinks are genuine. Of course, the prices are also very transparent, all of which are genuine prices.

Unless the shopkeeper has missed it, otherwise, it is impossible to pick up a leak here, but because of the transparency here, it is very popular with some collectors.

As for the largest of these shops is Jianbao Pavilion, as the name suggests, it is an official appraisal institution run by the Antique Association, similar to the master who interprets stones on the spot in the stone gambling market.

If you bought something you like at the booth outside and you can't be sure of its authenticity, you can come here and try to draw the lottery directly.

Of course, when people are misjudged, Jianbao Pavilion charges low fees and only provides preliminary appraisal results, which can only be used as a reference and not as a proof.

Qin Miaomiao looked at the curious Luo Fan, and said mysteriously, "Would you like to experience an appraiser?"

Luo Fan asked strangely: "What? Can the appraiser still experience it?"

Qin Miaomiao looked like that, and said sarcastically, "That's why you are still too young and need me to take care of you. I don't know who was bragging just now and said that I understand everything."

However, although Qin Miaomiao mocked Luo Fan, she honestly helped Luo Fan explain his doubts: "There is a free appraisal mechanism here, that is, anyone can experience the feeling of an appraiser."

"Of course, Jianbao Pavilion is not responsible for the results of this free appraisal. Believe it or not depends on the sender. It is a copy of many beginners' experience."

"As for why someone would give it to a free appraiser for appraisal, that's also very simple. As long as you find enough appraisers, you can still tell the authenticity of your things from the bias."

"At the same time, it's not necessarily all newbies here. Some big guys will come here to play guest roles from time to time. Whoever you meet depends on luck."

Hearing what Qin Miaomiao said, Luo Fan also became interested. Anyway, there is nothing good out there, so he might as well experience the fun of being an appraiser.

Of course, being a freelance appraiser is not without barriers, and one needs to pass a test before becoming qualified.

Luo Fan was his former idol after all, so Qin Miaomiao would naturally not worry about Luo Fan's strength.

And if Luo Fan can't even pass the simple test, then he really doesn't need to be a freelance appraiser, isn't this just a scam?
Qin Miaomiao didn't say a word, but she had come here to brush up her experience before, so she could understand it that way.

Not only her, but many novice appraisers in the antique industry have gained experience in the Jianbao Pavilion in the dark market. This can be regarded as a talent incubation base, and only pure newbies like Luo Fan don't know about it.

After briefly understanding the precautions, Luo Fan was taken to a room for the test of a free appraiser.

Here, Luo Fan was not discriminated against. After all, this is a dungeon for a novice to earn experience, and it is normal for young people to come here.

This test is also simple, that is, it is slightly more difficult than the entry test. There are a total of three random antiques, as long as all of them can be identified correctly.

These antiques used for testing are generally not too complicated, basically not too tricky, but they are good props for testing.
