Chapter 771 [Material]
The gold coupon and the purple gold order were all done, and the only thing left was to go to the treasure house to select things. Even the branch shop in Qinglong Town, there were a lot of things in the treasure house. There was no way to take them out and let He Ping choose them one by one here. So Yue Hongmei took He Ping to the treasure house personally and let He Ping choose them personally. He Ping didn't mind this. Since Ping'an Pawnshop is an organization that was larger than he thought, it would be better to visit it...
Under the leadership of Yue Hongmei, He Ping went downstairs and finally came to the basement of this pawn shop. Although there was a treasure room upstairs, it was obvious that it was just a disguise, or just an ordinary showroom prepared for ordinary customers. The truly valuable things here are actually underground. After all, even with a huge force, this place is just a branch shop, and safety must be guaranteed.
In front of the basement door, He Ping was first surprised because the basement door was not the ordinary door that he imagined was blocked by mechanical locks. In addition to the two locks that required ordinary keys to be opened, He Ping also saw something very interesting. In the gap of the door, there was a place with a faint light. Yue Hongmei stepped forward and pressed her right hand to the luminous place that looked like some kind of stone. Then, the light on the stone slab faded and eventually disappeared. The device was divided into two pieces with a click.
It's actually a palm pattern recognition lock? He Ping looked at the place where Yue Hongmei just pressed her palm with interest. To be honest, such things are not a high-end product for He Ping. Whether it is the main world or the elves, there are actually more precise locks, but such a thing appears in this world that looks the same as in ancient times. To be honest, it is still very impactful. I think this should be a way of using vitality in this world.
After Yue Hongmei opened all the locks, she slowly pushed open the door. The thick door opened without any resistance under the seemingly slender Yue Hongmei's hands. The weight of the door is naturally not small. However, Yue Hongmei is also a high-level warrior at the human level and is already a master among ordinary people. With the help of vitality, it is really not difficult to open such a door. It is estimated that even a fifth-level warrior like the three Peng brothers came, it would be very easy.
The situation in the basement is similar to what He Ping imagined. There are only dozens of items on the simple display racks. Even if Ping'an pawn shop is a huge force and has its own branches in many places, it is just one of them, and it is not a larger branch. There are not many people in Qinglong Town, and even fewer people with money and power, so there are naturally not many good things.
Of course, it is impossible for Ping An pawnshop to only pawn. Things that are used to be kept waiting for customers to redeem, but things like He Ping transferring Tianyuanshi and things that have not been redeemed for a period of time are considered pawnshops. These things are naturally impossible to hold in their hands. Pawnshops are an institution that promotes financial circulation, and these things must be sold. In addition to some very ordinary goods, a considerable number of these things that need to be sold are good things.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Ping An pawnshop is a place to exchange for money with your own things, or exchange it for some pretty good second-hand goods at a low price. However, in the eyes of some people with skills, pawnshops are a treasure house with great flexibility and no high stability. There may not be good things here for a long time, but if you look at it regularly, you may find some treasures that cannot be found even in many large businesses.
Relatively speaking, everyone knows who have good things in their hands. Few people from somebody's treasures enter the local Ping'an pawn shop. Basically, every branch is a passerby or people from other nearby towns, who are worried about the crime of showing off their money and being innocent, so they are sent to Ping'an pawn shop. Although many businesses claim to be confidential, everyone knows that if a treasure is taken out for auction, the possibility of identity leakage is very high. In comparison, if it is sent to Ping'an pawn shop, the price may not be very high, but the advantage is that it is not obvious.
Just like this time He Ping handed over the jade to Ping'an pawnshop, Yue Hongmei might ask He Ping about the general situation, as well as the origin of the treasure and the reason for the pawnshop, but she would never register and leave a bottom. The same is true for similar treasures. As long as they were sent to Ping'an pawnshop's treasure house, the pawnshop got the money, the two parties had nothing to do with each other, and there would be no situation where the things were stolen before they were sold.
He Ping finished all dozens of things at a glance. His perception was so strong that he could have a clear understanding of what these things were like. After seeing these things, He Ping's first thought was that it seemed that Yue Hongmei did not lie. She had said before that because Qinglong Town is not a prosperous town and there were not many people coming and going, so there was nothing particularly precious. Now it seems that this is true.
Among the dozens of things, most of them are just ordinary luxury goods, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, artworks, etc. The remaining ones are relatively precious materials. If you don’t know the existence of Tianyuan Stone, perhaps if you choose five of these things, He Ping will replace the jade plaque. But now, compared with Tianyuan Stone, the things here are just fractions, and can only be compensated for He Ping as a bonus for insufficient cash.
Of course He Ping was not interested in ordinary luxury goods. He had seen enough of those things. Since there was no real good things here, He Ping did not force him. He was now interested in the civilization of this world, so he selected five materials from the display shelf, purple gold, black nanmu, black ice, crystal phosphorus and blood stone, corresponding to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Except for the crystal phosphorus with fire attributes that can only be used to generate special flames, the other four materials can be used to make weapons or other things.
The five materials are not very precious among these dozens of items. However, this is something that Ping An pawn shop has collected in the treasure house. These materials are still difficult for ordinary people to obtain. Ordinary forgeators can make very good things even if they only add a little bit of these materials when creating weapons and equipment. Therefore, these materials are also considered treasures in the outside world. Therefore, Yue Hongmei has no doubts about He Ping's choice of these materials.
