Chapter 87: Buy Jade for Free
Annan drove and arrived at the destination quickly.
Jewelry business street.
This whole street is full of jewelry stores, and people who are out looking for supplies rarely come here, so it is particularly quiet.
After all, no matter how valuable these jewellery were before the disaster, they are now completely useless.
It is neither edible nor drinkable, and you can't exchange it for dry food or water. What's the use of it?
But for Annan, this place is full of treasures.
She started at the first store on the street.
This is a relatively well-known brand store. As soon as you enter the store, you can see many display cabinets, where various gold, silver, and jade jewelry are placed in different categories.
Annan went directly to the jade counter with a clear goal in mind.
There are many jade bracelets, necklaces, rings, etc. here.
Although it had been soaked by a flood before, there were a lot of dirty things hanging on it, and some of them were even broken in half.
However, as long as the material is right, it will not affect the upgrade of the space.
Annan took a quick look at the quality of the teas and found that almost all of them were bean-type and glutinous-type, with only a few of them being high-ice, which were displayed separately on a counter.
Although these jades are of average quality, they are very expensive.
It seems that a saying in the jade circle is right: the price of jade in shopping malls and counters must be reduced to zero to see its true value.
Just like the bracelet worth 50,000 yuan that she received at the floating market before, if it were placed here, it would be sold for 500,000 yuan.
If you want to buy jade jewelry at a truly bargain price, you still have to go to jade distribution centers such as Wuhui City and Jieyin City.
If people like them live in Linbei City and want to buy jadeite, they can only go to shopping malls and brand chain stores and get ripped off.
Spend tens of thousands of dollars and get a bracelet worth only a few bucks.
Among all the jadeite in this room, the best quality one is the one with space tied to my wrist.
Even the bracelet I bought at the floating market and Long Cong'an's ring are considered top quality when brought to this store.
But Annan is not picky. As long as the item is real, he will accept it.
If the quality is not enough, then the quantity is enough! There are so many jewelry stores here.
She collected all the jadeite in the store, then tried it out and found that the distance between the entrance and exit space had been increased from 1.1 meters to 3 meters.
Annan was overjoyed.
The goods in one store were directly upgraded to two meters. With so many jewelry stores here, couldn't she have flashed to a hundred meters away? !
So I prepared to go to the next store with great interest.
Before leaving, she also bought all the jewelry made of other materials in the store.
Now that you're here, you might as well take it!
While collecting, I thought: It’s a pity that gold can’t be used to upgrade space.
It would be great if it could also upgrade the space.
In addition to these gold bracelets and gold necklaces, there is also a cabinet of gold bars received from the boss’ secret room!
The quality and quantity of the second store were similar to the first one, but Annan still sold out the entire jewelry store.
I tried it, but this time it only upgraded to 1.5 meters.
Is it that the overall quality of this store is not as good as the previous one?
Annan went to the third store.
After putting all the jadeite from the third store into the space, she tried it and this time only upgraded 1.3 meters.
Annan frowned.
Shouldn't it?
She had just carefully looked at the quality of the jade in this store and found that it was indeed similar to the first store.
The quantity is even more than the first store, with a whole counter full of goods.
How come the upgrade distance is not as far as the first store?
With doubts, Annan continued to buy several stores and was surprised to find that the speed of space upgrading was getting slower and slower.
She stopped and compared them carefully: two identical high-quality bracelets, put into the space one in front and one behind, the upgrade distance of the one in the back is smaller than that of the one in the front.
Annan suddenly realized: It seems that as I collect more and more jade, it becomes more and more difficult to upgrade the space.
When Long Cong'an's ring was first put into the space, it grew by 10 centimeters. But now when she put in another one of the same quality, it only grew by 3 centimeters.
Annan thought about it and could understand.
It was just like when she played games before, completing tasks. In the beginning, she could level up seven or eight times a day. But in the later stages, if she wanted to level up one level, she had to complete the tasks diligently for a month.
There were even many gaming masters at that time who were only one level away from reaching the full level, but they were stuck for more than a year and could not reach the maximum level.
After figuring it out, Annan comforted himself:
Don’t worry if the upgrade is slow, we have a large quantity!
Collect it!
She continued to search from one store to another. This time she didn't try again and just focused on buying.
Wherever he went, nothing was left behind.
Not only jade, but also various diamonds, gold, platinum, K gold, silver, pearls, agate, various gemstones...
Everything she can see is hers.
Only after closing all the stores did I enter the space to test it again.
Now the distance in and out of the space has reached thirty meters!
Although it was a little different from the 100 meters she had expected, the 30-meter flash was enough for her to instantly kill the enemy 30 meters away.
As for the enemies further away...
Just flash a few more times!
She flashed here and there like a female ghost, scaring the other person to death.
After working for more than three hours, Annan returned to the car, ate a few biscuits to replenish his energy, and then continued to the next destination.
There are about a hundred large shopping malls in Linbei City.
There were about sixty shopping malls with jewelry counters. Annan planned to search each one according to the map.
The armored vehicle was driving very fast and arrived at the destination in a short while.
The mall is not as quiet as the jewelry street.
There are a lot of supplies here, and although they are all soaked in water, many people still come here to pick and choose and take away the sealed items.
Even soaked rice, dried food, drinks and bottled water that have become turbid due to dirty water are in demand by many people.
Different types of goods are on different floors.
Most people who go out to look for supplies will choose the basement floor where there is a supermarket.
The jewelry counters that Annan was looking for were concentrated on the first floor.
The first floor is very quiet because there are only jewelry and cosmetics counters on this floor, no food.
Only people who have just entered the mall and want to go to other floors will pass by here briefly.
Just in case, she wore a mask and a hat.
This way, even if someone passing by could see her secret, they would not be able to tell who she was.
Annan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he started working.
But she didn't use the space as blatantly as she did in the shopping street. If she was seen by a passerby, it would be troublesome.
So she took a backpack, used it as a cover, stuffed the jewelry inside the bag, and put it into the space.
Of course, I didn't pack everything. I left some jewelry in the backpack so it wouldn't look empty.
Although this is much less efficient than before, it is safer.
The quality of jade in the mall is about the same as that in the brand-name shops on the commercial street. There are a lot of glutinous jade, not many small high-quality jade, and no high-quality jade.
Those high-end products that cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions can probably only be found in the private closets of celebrities and wealthy wives.
I was busy cleaning the counters when I suddenly heard someone walking towards me.
Annan immediately became alert.
