"Seven hundred gold star coins, that's all I can give you. You must know that with the emergence of new types of detection machines, the detection of special metals is no longer as difficult as before. During this period of time, the price of metals below C-level began to drop. Only Those above grade B can be sold at a price." Cooper carefully tested the properties of the metal brought by Guxi, and then raised his head to quote Guxi.

"It's the Explorer [-], right? I saw the profile on Starnet. It's so expensive, it's almost as good as a deep-space spacecraft." Gu Xi was very helpless when he heard Cooper's words. The market is not good, and he knows it.

Just like the emergence of the spinning jenny when capitalism was in its infancy, a large number of female workers were laid off. In the interstellar era, people lost their jobs almost every day due to the advancement of technology.The emergence of Explorer [-] caused a group of low-level energy refiners who searched for metals through superficial spiritual exploration to lose their jobs for survival.

"By the way, Uncle Cooper, when I came last time, I saw that you have a lot of strange stones here, each with a different price, and they are sold at the counter inside. What is that, it seems that many people are Buy it inside." Gu Xi changed the subject and chatted with Cooper curiously.

"That, it's 'guessing rocks'. In the vast interstellar space, some metals are wrapped in meteorites, and you can use mental power to do some rough exploration, and some metals are wrapped in honeystones. I know that although the honey stone is not something before, it can isolate the mental power and the detection of the instrument. The metal is wrapped in the honey stone, and no one can see what is inside. Therefore, this "guessing stone" was born .”

Cooper obviously likes this topic very much, so he enthusiastically introduced it to Gu Xi, "So some people invented this 'guessing stone', bought these honey stones with an extra price, and then cut them open with a gamma laser to see the metal inside. Grade. Generally, they are D grade, but if you are lucky, you will get B grade or above. When I was young, I was lucky enough to see a person who bought a honey stone with 100 platinum star coins and drove an S grade. Transforming into liquid metal. That's really fresh in my memory."

Listening to Boss Cooper's narration, Gu Xi had a general impression of the so-called 'guessing stone'. Overall, it was like gambling stones in Burma in his previous life, but in this era, high-end metals are more needed than gorgeous ones. jewelry.

"Sounds a bit like gambling, but it's legal." Gu Xi thought, and walked to Cooper's office together with Cooper. Office procedures.In the interstellar era, metal transactions are strictly regulated, and every transaction must be recorded in detail. This is also a major reason why many people do not like metals subject to retail investors.

"It's [-] Platinum Star Coins in total. This is the transaction record. Please sign your name after confirming that it is correct." Cooper handed a confirmation platform to Gu Xi, then turned around and did his own thing.When confirming the transaction again, some private information will be displayed on the platform, which cannot be seen by others.

Gu Xi confirmed the data on the trading platform, then got up, and signaled to Cooper.At this time, Gu Xi saw Cooper taking out some fist-sized honey-colored stones one by one from a wooden box, and then carefully wiped them.

"Is this the honey stone used in 'Guessing Rock'? It looks similar to ordinary stones." Gu Xi stepped forward to have a look, and then motioned for Cooper to check the transaction records.

"Don't look at them as inconspicuous, but there may be some treasures inside." Cooper was very angry at Guxi's disapproval. In his opinion, 'guessing stones' is an ancient transaction with a very deep foundation. Way.It is worthy of people's respect.

"Oh, my lovely babies, don't be angry, this kid doesn't know your benefits at all."

Gu Xi rolled his eyes speechlessly, although he disdains this, but for the sake of long-term future transactions, as a last resort, Gu Xi secretly hypnotizes himself, thinking that the other party is a lover of strange stones, "I'm sorry, I didn't see clearly just now, in fact, they But it's pretty."

"Really? You think they're good?" Cooper looked at Gu Xi suspiciously, as if he wanted to find something on his face.

"Really, I didn't see it clearly just now, I said nonsense, don't take it seriously." Di Di opened his big eyes, looking back innocently, with an unusually innocent look.

"Okay, I accept your apology, but the premise is that you will 'guess the stone' with me and solve it on the spot." Cooper said with an expression of wanting to clear up his grievances for his baby, but there was a flash in his eyes. The passing light tells of his cunning.

Gu Xi knew that this was to save himself from bankruptcy, "Okay, no problem, but how much is this one yuan, you must know that I am not rich, Uncle Cooper, you can treat me as cheap. "

"Of course, of course, I'm the most ethical metal buyer on the street. The honey stones here are all sold to others at cost." Cooper was very happy about Guxi's success, "Only 50 platinum Star coins, this is the real cost price, and I gave you a discount for the sake of regular customers." The merchant, no matter where he is, is always so eloquent.

Gu Xi came to these honey stones and carefully selected them, but after looking for a long time, he really couldn't see any clues.However, most of these stones have some traces of polishing.Gu Xi thought of the side reports he read in his previous life, about the fake rock betting, and speculation about dividends, these were probably leftovers, or waste that had been gambled on.So Gu Xi stopped picking, and simply picked the biggest one, a honey stone like a pot lid.

According to the agreement, Gu Xi will untie it on the spot here. Gu Xi doesn't understand why Cooper must untie it in person, but anyway, if he can't solve anything, he will spend money to buy a lesson.Although his physical age is only 11 years old, but his mental age is obviously almost 30 years old, and he still offends people with outspoken words.

In fact, letting people who have never played "guess the stone" in their own store "guess the stone" and unlock it on the spot is a very popular method of transshipment in the "guess the stone" business to solve the bad business in the store. It is the interstellar era, but there are still people who believe in this kind of thing.

With the operation of the gamma laser knife, in a short while the honey stone, which was the size of an adult's hand, was cut off layer by layer, exposing the faint willow golden metal inside.

"Oh, you are really lucky. This is a piece of Liujin solid aluminum. This is a B-grade metal. You really made money." Cooper said, holding the piece of Liujin solid aluminum in his hand. He looked at it in amazement, and swallowed from time to time, "Boy, it's useless for you to keep this thing anyway, why don't you buy it for me, your uncle, and I'll give you a market price."

"Uncle Cooper, what you said turned out to be true. There is actually metal in it, and it's a high-quality B-grade metal." Gu Xi was also amazed. After all, this thing only cost him 50 platinum just now. The star coins, and now, have become 100 blue gold star coins.The common currency of the interstellar era, four grades of gold coins are red, white, blue, and purple.Red gold is the common currency for common people, platinum is equivalent to the gold in the previous life, blue gold is only used by rich people, and purple gold is only used by big consortia or when the country trades.

"Of course, if you don't inquire, I, Cooper, have never lied. My reputation has always been the best here." Cooper seemed quite proud of this.You know, this golden signboard of mine has been passed down for five generations, and it has always been a model in the business world.

"Okay then, I'll ask Uncle Cooper to buy this piece of Liujin solid aluminum, and ask Uncle Cooper to offer you a better price." Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Gu Xi was a little anxious, so he planned to Quick fix.Although his own 'Paradise' also needs B-grade metal, but as a metal detectorist, he doesn't need this thing.

"However, little brother, I don't have so much cash here, why don't you pick some other things from me and take them away?" Cooper was very excited after recovering from the joy of seeing the good things. asked awkwardly.

"Well, it's not impossible, but Uncle Cooper, you have nothing here except some C-grade metals." Gu Xi said in a very embarrassed way, but in fact he was always secretly happy.

"It's okay, you can pick whatever you want. Although there are many 50 blue golds, in fact, you only need to pick one at random, and I will pay you the other 50 blue golds in cash." Cooper saw that the other party did not refuse, and quickly Open your mouth and say.

"Then, I want all the honey stones you have here." Gu Xi said, with a look of great determination, and looked at the honey stones on the table with a little greed.

"No, that's not allowed. I'll give you half at most. These are all good things." Cooper said with a heartbroken face. As long as the news of B-grade metal is issued here today, if it spreads, he will definitely make a lot of money. , honey stones must not be sold entirely.

"Okay then, but I still want those two ancient fossils you hung in the window." Gu Xi said with a look that I was at a loss.Those are two ancient plant fossils collected from other places on Cooper's ancestors. They can be regarded as C-level antiques. They only cost some money. If you are lucky enough to meet someone you like, you may even make a lot of money. Cooper has always flaunted himself by this cultural atmosphere.

"Okay, it's a deal. You wait here, and I'll get the money." Cooper finally gritted his teeth and agreed with grief and indignation.
