Chapter 369 and 371: The Joy of Opening Clams and Retrieving Pearls

As a result, Feng Xingjia and his group picked up the things and left. The man who deliberately lowered the price didn't care, thinking that they would definitely come back, and added, "Think about it carefully. If this thing dies, it will be worthless. After all, it is a water creature and can't live long on land."

At that time, he saw that the people in Feng Xingjia's team had an argument. Some agreed to exchange money directly, while others disagreed. In the end, those who disagreed prevailed and they left with their things.

When Feng Xingjia and his team carried the items into the exchange, they attracted a lot of onlookers. This strange and bizarre thing that even injured more than a dozen people attracted a lot of discussion. The news soon reached his superiors, who asked him what was going on. The staff member who deliberately lowered the price was a little panicked at this time. If he offered a reasonable price and the other party didn't sell it, it could be said that it was the other party's problem. He offered a price far lower than this kind of rare items, which clearly showed that he had selfish motives.

By the evening, the men still hadn't brought the things back, so he had no choice but to tell his superiors what had happened.

He was severely criticized, and finally the leader mobilized official forces to launch an investigation, and finally found out that Feng Xingjia and his group left the exchange and carried things into Rong Xianxian's yard.

This morning, they went to investigate all the things Rong Xianxian had done publicly. They knew that this woman had a strong background and was very powerful. They came here with sincerity and spared no expense. But who knew that this woman actually said that she used that thing to cook...

The three people who came with sincerity only felt as if a flock of crows flew past them. That feeling can be described in one word, "bad luck".

"Impossible, who would be willing to buy something so expensive?" The one who deliberately lowered the price yesterday said. He had offered a thousand points before, which was not a small amount of money. How many fresh fish and shrimps could be exchanged for these thousand points? She would be willing to spend it, which was obviously a way to evade them.

"Is it expensive?" Rong Xianxian laughed.

"Ms. Rong, it was our staff's mistake yesterday. They were not rigorous in their attitude and quoted an unreasonable price. So we are very sincere today and want to make up for yesterday's mistake. Ten thousand points is already a very high price." The leader frowned. Could it be that Doctor Rong wanted to raise the price again?

"Why don't you believe what I said is true? Ten thousand points, the price is so good, why shouldn't I make money? Can I sell it at a better price if I hide it?" Rong Xianxian said seriously.

"I don't believe it. You must have hidden it." The one in the middle said anxiously.

"Why would I hide that thing? I remember you seemed to have specifically reminded me that this thing would be worthless after it dies." Rong Xianxian glanced at the person in the middle.

"I heard yesterday that this thing is only worth one thousand points. To be honest, I really don't care about this little money. This thing is so big, and there is gold shining inside. Maybe there is something good inside. I might as well experience the fun of opening the clam to get the pearls. Opening this thing is just like opening a lottery. I want to try my luck and have a seafood meal by the way. It's not bad." Rong Xianxian almost laughed out loud when she thought of the water-repellent beads opened from the shells of these two big guys. She was very lucky this time. The beads opened from the clam shell were better than the one she experimented with. There were more of them, they were larger in size, and had a large water-repellent area. It was like winning a million-dollar prize. She felt very happy.

The leader is the director of the Abnormal Creature Exchange Department in the official exchange. His surname is Qian, and the other two are staff members.

The prices at the abnormal creature exchange office in the Jindu Safety Zone are not transparent, especially for species that have never been seen before. Generally speaking, the price is whatever the staff estimates. The lower the price is, the more room they have to make a profit.

Director Qian somewhat believed what Rong Xianxian said. He glared at the man next to him coldly. If he hadn't been hiding his selfish motives and trying to make a profit from it, how could things have turned out like this?

"Then may I ask Ms. Rong if we can take a look at the beads that have been opened?" Director Qian asked immediately.

"That's really troublesome. Please wait a moment. I'll get it for you." Rong Xianxian had pearls of various colors in her hands. She picked up a few at random and showed them to them.

Anyway, there is no way they would know about the water drops.

"These pearls are of excellent quality and appearance. They can be used externally to beautify and nourish the skin, moisturize the skin and regenerate muscles. Internally, they can calm the mind and relieve shock, as well as clear away heat and detoxify." The only lady among the three people took them, examined them carefully, and then said.

"Is there anything unusual about this bead?" Director Qian asked patiently.

"It doesn't look like it, so it should be a pearl. How about we buy it and hand it over to the experts for inspection?" The young lady came up to Director Qian and whispered.

Director Qian was a little hesitant. If it was a pearl, then it would have no research value.

Although he had some doubts as to whether these beads were the ones that came out of the clams, the clams were gone now, so even if these beads were not the ones that came out of the clams, there was no evidence.

"Then can we take a look at the clam shell?" Director Qian asked unwillingly.

"You can see it, but let me tell you in advance. The shell is very strong. I plan to grind it into a shield, but I won't sell it. Besides, I have already smashed it into pieces." Rong Xianxian simply let them see it clearly.

Rong Xianxian gave a wink, and Ming Tianlei left the living room and went to the weapon refining room, and soon dragged up a broken clam shell.

When Ming Tianlei saw this hard clam shell yesterday, he was excited and started to think about it immediately.

At first, Rong Xianxian was a little worried. After all, the shell was very strong. She didn't know if it could be broken into several small pieces. If it was not broken, it was not impossible to use the shell directly as a shield, but it was too heavy. It would be better to make it into a heart guard or something like that for more convenient use.

Rong Xianxian expressed her concerns, and Ming Tianlei smiled, "Don't worry, Doctor Rong. In my hands, there is no material that cannot be cured."

The clam shell that Ming Tianlei dragged up was near the edge, with an irregular shape and signs of cracks in some parts.

Director Qian looked at his subordinate beside him, and the subordinate nodded at him with a pale face. Although he didn't want to admit it, looking at the patterns and colors on the shell, this was indeed one of the two he saw yesterday.

Director Qian was now completely disappointed. The Exotic Species Exchange Office serves the Exotic Species Research Institute. Now there is such a mistake in their work. If the higher-ups investigate the matter, how will he explain it?
