This is the largest jewelry store in Liyue Port. If other customers find it too expensive, the salesperson will usually show contempt and casually respond with a few words while mentally scolding the other person for wanting to buy luxury goods even though he is poor.
But the person in front of him was Lin Mubai. Not to mention the salesperson, even if the store owner was here, how could he dare to be disrespectful to Mubai?
So seeing Mu Bai who was dissatisfied with the price, it was the salesperson who had a headache. The young lady in work clothes broke out in cold sweat.
"Shortage of ore resources? How long will it take for this situation to pass?"
Mubai has also encountered the problem of rising product prices due to insufficient supplies in the real world, such as graphics cards and memory sticks. However, whether it is mining Bitcoin or the production of the origin is reduced due to natural disasters, there should always be a head start. When the limelight passes, the price can be restored.
"This... I'm afraid it will continue to rise."
"Why? Could it be that Liyue can't dig mines?"
"You're really right." The salesman looked embarrassed.
207. Evil Eye: There is a saying about MMP that I don’t know whether to say or not 3
"Because I thought that the problem of the mine would be solved slowly, but who knew that the final result would be to completely abandon the mine."
Relying on Mubai's power, Liyue solved the mist tide of the underworld in the rock abyss, and solved the Ruotuo Dragon King who was meditating in the abyss and the monsters it created. After going through many hardships, he finally discovered the so-called abyss. It is the abyss of terror.
This is good, not to mention that the mine has been used by Zhongli to fill the gap in the abyss. Even if it is still in place, which company would dare to mine it?Do you want to be contaminated by parasites or killed by the abyss mage?
"Although there are other mineral veins in Liyue, after all, there is a direct lack of a source of minerals. Until new mineral deposits are found or mining technology is improved, ores and gemstones will remain at high levels and will continue to rise."
"It's outrageous..."
After complaining, Mu Bai left the jewelry store.
The dilemma he faces now is that he either doesn't buy a wedding ring or buys it all at once.
If you only buy half of it, the other half of your harem will definitely explode.
“Where can I get affordable, high-quality gemstones?”
"If you need a gem, what do you think of this one?"
"Ok?"
Just as Mu Bai was sighing, a gentle male voice suddenly came from behind him.
"You are……"
The man in front of him was wearing white clothes, with a white scarf and a white hood. If he put this in the snow, he would freeze to death and he would not be able to find it.
"My family comes from Cuijuepo. This is a gem dug by our ancestors. It has always been regarded as a family heirloom. Recently, the years have been bad, so I want to sell it."
Zhen's disguise is still so good. Although his clothes are a bit strange, he really sounds like a villager when he talks. It's no wonder that he has been lurking around Wanhu for so long without being suspected.
"Then why don't you just sell jewelry stores?"
Mu Bai was a little wary, fearing that the other party would cheat him out of his money.
"These merchants who open these shops are all shady businessmen. I can't trust them. The most important thing is that my ancestors have told me that this gem can only be sold to those who are destined."
"Then how did you tell that I was destined to be the right person?"
"Look at what you said, how did I know that you were destined to be the right person? I just saw that you needed to buy gems, so I wanted to do a test with you to see if we are destined to be together."
"What test method?"
Mu Bai began to think that the other party's rhetoric was interesting. If he was really a liar, he would like to see how he could deceive him.
"Simple, you take this gem home and show it to me in three days. Then I will be able to identify whether you and I are destined."
This is Zhen's plan. After three days, he will bring back the evil eye that has absorbed enough energy, and then tell Mu Bai, "You and I are really not destined, and this mission will be over."
In recent days, Zhen has been secretly observing Mu Bai's whereabouts and learned that he was looking for gems, so he came up with the above idea.
He just bet that Mu Bai was not omniscient and omnipotent. If he could cheat, he would cheat. If he couldn't, he would be dead. Anyway, he would die if he failed to complete the task, so he might as well give it a try.
"Oh? Then you are not afraid that I will run away with the gems? Or default on the debt? Let me explain first, I will not pay a cent of the deposit or anything else."
No matter how fancy your deception is, as long as I block the payment process, you can't do anything to me.
"No deposit is required. We can sign a contract and be protected by law."
The needle is just for Mu Bai to accept this gem. He doesn't care what the process is. No matter what Mu Bai proposes, the needle will follow him.
"Then the question is, why should I spend so much time and energy on testing with you?"
"If you are destined to be the right person, this gem can be sold to you at a low price. If the fate is right, I am willing to sell it for at least [-]% of the market price."
"One percent?!"
Mu Bai was really moved.
If such a large gemstone is cut into pieces and made into wedding rings, the wives might even have some left over.
Moreover, the appearance of this gemstone looks jewel-like and extremely bright. It must be an A-grade product. If the fate is right, it will definitely be worth it.
"and many more!"
Mu Bai calmed himself down. He knew that when a person's heart is moved, it is often when he is deceived.
"How do I know whether this gem is worth the so-called market price?"
From just now, the other party has been talking about fate and discounts. This is a trick often used in deception. Although this expression is bright and smooth, Mu Bai is an outsider after all. If the cost of this thing is already very low, wouldn't it? be cheated.
"Why is he so troubled? Could it be that he has seen through that I am lying?"
Seeing Mu Bai keep mumbling, Zhen also started to get nervous, but he didn't know that Mu Bai was indeed being more vigilant to prevent being deceived, but in a completely different direction.
"Why didn't you speak?"
"Ah, I was just thinking of a way. Look, after three days, we can set the price and ask an expert to do the appraisal during the transaction."
Anyway, it will be taken back in the end, and it is not the step to find someone to appraise it.
"Okay, sign the contract, and I'll see how this thing is compatible with me."
After that, the two completed the contract on paper. Of course, Needle didn't care about these things at all.

"Good guy, the more I look at it, the more beautiful it becomes. This thing is a treasure!"
After taking this half-palm-sized gem back, Mu Bai couldn't put it down. Not to mention it was so big, and its surface was smooth, delicate, and dazzling. He said it was just insurance to have it appraised. Mu Bai thought it was a good product from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, this is a matter of course. On the one hand, the magic crystal that holds the evil eye is originally a gem. On the other hand, the doctor also put a lot of effort into disguising the evil eye.
"Gem, gem, you must be destined to me. Let alone one percent, I will definitely buy it at one-tenth of the price!"
In order to increase the bond between himself and the gem, Mu Bai specially placed the gem somewhere close to his body, even putting it together when he slept.
This modified evil eye, which can absorb the energy of the holder, continuously absorbs the vast and infinite magic energy in Mubai's body day and night.
then……
On the second day, Evil Eye was finally overwhelmed and exploded.
Yes, it exploded.
Before the explosion, the evil eye hidden by the doctor also appeared. The strange and huge eye was covered with bloodshot eyes. The eyeball was like a deflated balloon, fluttering randomly in the eye socket, looking very painful.
That is to say, Xie Tong has no mouth, otherwise you would have heard its shrill scream before it exploded.
"Fuck! Why did this gem explode?!"
Mu Bai, who was taking a nap, did not see the evil eyes on the gem. He was awakened by the explosion. When he opened his eyes, there were only many broken crystals left in the evil eyes.
208. Both of them were panicking.
"It's broken! It broke the gem."
Seeing these broken crystals, Mu Bai broke out in cold sweat.
He had been short of money recently, and he didn't know how much he would have to pay for this kind of thing.
"A gem that's half the size of a palm should start at 700 to [-] million yuan, right?"
Thinking like this, Mu Bai's breathing began to quicken.
Although this gem has not yet been appraised, since the gem seller dared to agree to Mu Bai's condition of having someone appraise it, it must be genuine, and from a sensory perspective, this gem is indeed of the highest quality.
"Use glue to stick it together... I'm afraid that won't work, right?"
Mu Bai put all these crystals in a cloth bag and thought about it for a long time as a layman, not knowing how to repair it.
"Wait! It seems there is still room for redemption."
Mu Bai took a closer look and found that these broken crystals were very regular, and the sizes of each crystal were almost the same. It was as if they were broken perfectly from an axially symmetrical point by a uniform force.
Although Mu Bai didn't understand the situation that could cause the gem to break into pieces so neatly, since it was a God-given opportunity, Mu Bai also thought of a remedy.
I saw him bringing these crystals and his own account banknotes to the gem processing shop. He first spent money to buy several ring embryos, and then paid the processing fee to set all the gems in the ring.
"In this case, even if it is compensation, it should not be much."
A gemstone embryo is turned into several gemstone rings. The loss is almost negligible. It is just that the gem holder will be dissatisfied. Then it will be appropriate to compensate. In any case, it is much better than directly compensating the original price of the gemstone. .

"The evil eye should have absorbed enough energy by this time, right?"
One day after that, Zhen disguised as a seller found Mu Bai as promised. All he had to do next was to casually make up that the gem and Mu Bai were not compatible, and then recover the evil eye. The task would be considered successfully completed.
"Mr. Lin, would you please take out the gem? Let me see how the fate between you is."
Arriving in front of Mu Bai's house, Needle showed a business-like fake smile and enthusiastically wanted to ask Mu Bai to hand over the evil eye.
"Well... don't worry, come in and sit down first."
Although countermeasures had been taken, it was an accident after all. He had disposed of other people's property without authorization. Mu Bai felt that the other party would be furious, so he unconsciously wanted to postpone the matter.
"Just bring me the gem, and I won't bother you."
Zhen was also very wary. This was Mu Bai's home. Depending on the opponent's strength, it might be a magic factory full of mechanisms.
"No hurry, no hurry, come in and have some tea. Let's sit down and chat while we drink."
"Then... that's fine."
Because Zhen was the one who was in a hurry to get the goods back, he couldn't keep spending it like this, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into Mu Bai's house.
"The aura of magic is so strong, it's even more oppressive than the doctor's workshop."
As soon as he entered the door, Needle felt a little breathless from the various magical energies spreading in the air.
Not only Mubai's daily life, there is also a demon living in this room, an astrologer who can slightly touch the truth. The actions of the two of them will also leave various magic traces in this room.
"Did this guy notice something? Why is his expression so serious?"
Mu Bai was also observing the needle. From the moment he entered the door, he had a bitter and hateful expression on his face, which made Mu Bai feel very guilty.
Because the value of the gem itself has not been lost much, to put it bluntly, this matter is a big or small matter, which is completely determined by the mood of the person involved.
If the other party was already in a bad mood today and brought this matter up again, wouldn't that be a trap?
"We have to find a way to liven up the atmosphere."
Seeing Zhen's nervous and serious look, Mu Bai made up his mind to either find a way to hide the matter today and bring it up another day when the atmosphere is more relaxed, or he had to put the other person into a relaxed and happy state.
"This Lin Mubai...why has he been staring at me? Has my identity been exposed?"
Mu Bai was trying to think of a way to relax the needle, but the needle was breaking out in a cold sweat because of Mu Bai's attention.
Because he knew Mu Bai's strength, Zhen knew that any small mistake could lead to death.
"Last time something happened unexpectedly, I didn't even ask your husband's name, nor did I ask what the name of this gem was."
Mu Bai handed Zhen a cup of tea, and then started chatting like neighbors.
"Just call me Aqiang. As for this gem..."
When asked about her name, Zhen could still remain calm, but when she heard Mu Bai asking about the name of the gem, Zhen's hand holding the tea started to shake.
"Have you discovered it? Have you discovered that this is actually the evil eye?!"
"No! Wait! Since the other party hasn't fallen out yet, he probably just discovered something strange about the gem and hasn't learned the truth of the matter."
"In this case, there may be room for redemption."
