Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times

The tester took the ebony box from Xu Sansan's hand, placed it on the metal panel that automatically rose from the top layer of the toolbox, and asked casually, "Are we testing the box and the items in it together?"

Xu Sansan nodded, and then watched the tester go around the box from inside to outside, from top to bottom. After doing various tests, he took out a metal detector and started scanning. There was a beep and a mechanical sound:

"It's an old item. It's so old that the material layer has petrified. It's hard to tell its specific material."

The evaluator looked up and asked:

"Where and when was this found?"

Xu Sansan briefly mentioned the original abandoned city No. 2-007 and the mission accepted by the quartet team.

The tester nodded, recorded something in his optical brain, and then proposed:

"You need to apply for a senior assessor to conduct a second test."

Lao Qin's eyebrows jumped. This familiar process made him inexplicably excited.

Could it be that the item this time will be another rare treasure?

Lao Qin's heart was pounding. Although he could no longer purchase items directly from Xu Sansan, according to the leader's rules, the leader could get a commission on the money earned by his subordinates at the auction!

The greedy nature of the profiteers began to stir again:

Please bless me, I hope it can be sold at a sky-high price!

Soon, a tester wearing a mask entered the room. He held a small electronic screen in his hand and used the camera to take all-round photos of the ebony box and the walnut. After entering something into the electronic screen, it ran for a few seconds and popped up a test result:

“Object 1: Made of old century ebony, the material is rare and precious;

Object 2: An unknown material that has been completely petrified from the old century..."

Xu Sansan's heart skipped a beat. As expected, no walnut ingredients were detected. Could it really be a fake made of lime powder or something like that?

When the evaluator was about to open his mouth and request to connect to the master evaluator in City No. 903, the electronic screen in the room suddenly flashed, and the auction had already begun!

This was obviously not the first time the reviewer had encountered this situation, so he explained in a familiar way:

“The auction has already started, and in principle, no more items can be put up for auction, but because the inspection process for this item has reached the final stage, we will speed up the subsequent inspection process for the item.

In order not to disturb everyone watching the auction in the room, we will take the items away for separate inspection.

If the item passes the inspection before the end of the auction, it will be placed at the end of the auction. Of course, due to time constraints, we will directly start the auction according to the evaluator’s advice...”

Xu Sansan had no experience, so he could only nod. After the famous teacher left, he turned around and started watching the live broadcast of the auction on the screen with Siyan and Lao Qin.

Time passed by minute by minute, and 10 items had been auctioned off one after another. Xu Sansan frowned. He didn't expect that among these items, there were either so-called rare antiques or various rare nuclear crystals. There was not even a single piece of food...

Don’t the people in the inner city of the base have a very high demand for food?

Lao Qin seemed to see her confusion. In fact, he had asked the same question when he came for the first time.

So he sighed and explained helplessly:

"Life inside and outside the city is vastly different. How could those powerful people lack food and clothing? When people are well fed and well clothed, they will naturally pursue other things..."

Yes, when you have enough food and clothing, you will think about sex...

Xu Sansan suddenly remembered Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory that he had learned in his previous life.

While the dignitaries in the inner city of the base are pursuing ethereal spiritual food, the lower-class people in the shanty towns and refugee camps are still struggling for personal safety and food.

Alas, I didn’t expect the gap between the rich and the poor in the end times to be so huge!

At this moment, the auctioneer on the screen suddenly paused for 5 seconds, then took a deep breath:

"Next, we will welcome the last two items of this auction. Before I introduce the items, we will connect with the master reviewer from City No. 903, Mr. Hu Yan, to tell you a piece of history from the old century..."

Then, a white-haired old man appeared on the screen.

Lao Qin and Siyan both widened their eyes at the same time:

"Isn't this the master who endorsed the Ultraman card book for them?"

An inexplicable sense of excitement gradually emanated from Lao Qin.

At the same time, the old man on the screen opened his lips and said:

"In an era even older than the old century, there was a scholar who was walking on his way to an imperial examination on a rainy day..."

The old man's story had just begun when discussions immediately broke out in the auction hall.

"Oh my God! He dares to walk in the rain!"

"Yeah! It's so dangerous in the rain!"

"But I heard that rainy days in the old times were not as terrible as they are now..."

……

When the noise in the backstage gradually died down, the old man continued, "On this rainy day, he met a woman who was transformed from a terrifying beast!"

"Oh my god! In the old age, there actually existed strange beasts that could transform into human form!"

"Too scary! What kind of alien beast is this?!"

"It should be at least a 4-star Illusion type!"

The old man waited until the sounds of surprise gradually died down before continuing:

"This woman was quite vicious and cunning. Through her unique illusion technique, she gained the trust of the scholar, and the two of them quickly reached an agreement on pairing up and dividing the work... It seemed like a good start, but I never thought that it was the beginning of a nightmare -

Strange things happened frequently around this scholar, and his life suffered setbacks repeatedly, and his relatives and friends around him died one after another...

Until one day, a highly respected monk appeared... and discovered this strange beast that could transform... Then he used the high-energy weapons in his hands to fight with it. After many twists and turns, he finally captured the strange beast and imprisoned it in the basement of the temple..."

Xu Sansan frowned slightly as he listened to the old man's story:

Why does this story sound familiar, yet extremely discordant?

Just as she was recalling the various fairy tales, martial arts, and ghost dramas she had watched in her previous life, the scene on the screen suddenly changed, and the auctioneer pointed at the items on the metal platform beside him and said confidently:

"This... is the high-energy weapon that Master Hu Yan mentioned that the great monk used to defeat the strange beast - the purple gold bowl!"

Xu Sansan stared at the familiar bowl of Korean cold noodles on the metal platform, his mouth wide open!

isn't it? !

Then the screen switched back to the old man again. He was so excited that his hands were shaking. He took out a wrinkled blue paper book from the bookshelf. There were four big words written on the paper book:

"French Overseas"

他 说:

“It is said that this purple gold bowl was discovered yesterday by the descendant of Xu Xian, the scholar in the story, at the site of the temple where the strange beast was imprisoned.

During the excavation process, they also had a thrilling encounter with a mutated giant snake that could transform into a human form!

It is said that this descendant of the Xu family remained calm and brave in the face of danger. He killed the mutated giant snake swiftly and then burned it to ashes, finally avenging his ancestor!

It’s just a pity that the energy of this purple gold bowl has been completely exhausted. I’m afraid we won’t have the chance to reproduce its former glory…”

"Oh my God! This is such a legendary story!"

"I didn't expect this mutant giant snake could survive for so long. It must be of a very high level! Maybe even more than 5 stars!"

"I really want to meet this powerful descendant of the Xu family!"

"Yes, yes! If we can recruit him... maybe..."

At this time, taking advantage of the constant noise in the auction hall, the auctioneer decisively seized the rising enthusiasm and shouted loudly:

"Then, this purple gold bowl is now officially up for auction! The starting price is 5!"

…………

Soon, the purple gold bowl was successfully sold amid rounds of bidding. Old Qin twisted his stiff neck and looked at Xu Sansan in disbelief. The huge question mark flashing in his eyes spoke for itself:

Could it be that the descendant of the Xu family... ?

And the mutant cobra skin, fangs and venom sac that I received from Shunfeng yesterday, could it be... ?

Xu Sansan opened his eyes wide, looking extremely shocked but innocent at the same time, and gave Lao Qin a look that said, "I'm also very confused."

Then the auctioneer's voice came out from the screen again:

"Everyone, there is one last item left in this auction..."

Xu Sansan's sixth sense suddenly felt a mysterious and subtle touch.

On the screen, the ebony box she took out of the cloth bag and the walnuts in the box were clearly displayed!

The auctioneer shouted loudly, pushing the emotions of the crowd to a climax again:

"This item also comes from the ruins of the temple where the mutant snake was suppressed. After joint appraisal by our expert team of appraisers and Master Hu Yan, it was found that the completely petrified item in this box was formed after the death of the great monk.

Golden Elixir Relics!"

what? !

Xu Sansan was completely shocked, and the background music in his head began to echo wildly:

"The water of West Lake, whose tears, my face instantly turned into a flash of lightning!

Ah~~~~~Ah~~~~~Ah~~~~~~! "

All three views were shattered and completely split!

This is simply... simply off the mark!

When she returned to the cottage with the huge sum of 28 yuan, she still couldn't recover from the "thunderous" auction scene...

28 was only the share that Xu Sansan received, while the final hammer price of the Golden Elixir Relic was as high as 40!

According to the convention, the underground auction will take 12 yuan from it. Of this 12 yuan, 1 yuan will be distributed to Siyan and yuan to Lao Qin. After all, according to the leader rule, both the online and the online of the online can share the profits of the final offline...

Fortunately, the task settlement office of the private army team only provided the employer of "Purple Gold Bowl" with the basic information of the five members of the Quartet team. The description of Xu Sansan was just a very brief sentence: Newcomer Xiao Xu.

And at the underground auction, just as Xu Sansan requested, in the introduction of the "Golden Elixir Relics" item, a casual mention was made of the name of the person who bought the top item: "Master De Jiu".

But what is the relationship between the superior man "De Jiuye" and Xiao Xu from the private army team?

Of course it doesn’t matter!

……

At 23:58 midnight, when the shantytown had completely fallen asleep, Qiangzi once again took the detector to the small street where Xu Sansan's house was. He received an urgent task from his shadow superior tonight - to conduct another thorough scan and inspection of the shantytown...
