In the early morning, Ye Tian woke up with a faint smell.
After his mind cleared, he quickly discovered the source of the odor, which was his own body!
A thin layer of dirt appeared on his body, which was grey-black and sticky, and smelled fishy, as if it was excreted from the body along the pores.
Although there is not much dirt, it seems to be stuck to the skin, making people feel very uncomfortable.
The underwear and the newly changed bedding were all stained, and they also emitted an unpleasant smell.
Did you take a shower last night? How could this happen?
Ye Tian got up in confusion, walked into the bathroom and started taking a shower. While the hot water was flowing on his body, he was also thinking about why this change occurred.
After much deliberation, I can only think of it as the power of my eyes.
It seems that most of the aura absorbed by his eyes yesterday was used to upgrade his abilities, and a small part was used on himself to improve his physical fitness and eliminate impurities contained in his body.
After determining the cause, Ye Tian immediately felt excited. His physical condition was a bit bad now and he should have exercised a long time ago! Of course this good thing comes unexpectedly!
The body is the capital of revolution, this couldn’t be more true!
After taking a shower, I immediately felt refreshed, my whole body was clear and comfortable, it seemed that every cell was singing with joy, and my whole body felt lighter than yesterday.
Ye Tian found that his skin had become glossier and more elastic than before, and his muscle lines had also changed, becoming more sculpted and smooth. Although the changes were not significant, they were visible to the naked eye!
Then he did a few more push-ups, which were much easier than before, and his strength had obviously increased.
The most obvious change is the scar on the thigh.
This was an injury I suffered while riding a bicycle when I was a teenager. I needed more than a dozen stitches at that time, leaving an ugly scar on my leg, which looked like a centipede. It was a bit scary, but it has faded a little now.
It seems that as long as I do this a few more times, this scar will completely disappear from my body!
After the surprise, Ye Tian changed a new set of bedding, then turned on the computer and started browsing the news.
He had to make sure of something, otherwise he would always feel a little uneasy.
That is the follow-up development of yesterday's incident at the Metropolitan Museum. Let's see how the museum and the police characterize the incident and whether they have discovered anything.
Soon, he saw an authoritative report in the social news online version of The New York Times. It was good news!
Of course the museum and the police could not find the culprit that caused the sudden change. They could only attribute it to the natural aging of the cultural relics and improper storage measures, which led to this result. It is very regrettable!
The news also mentioned the serious concerns from the RB government and people, as well as their dissatisfaction with the protection of cultural relics at the Metropolitan Museum.
Yesterday was an unfortunate day for all RB people. They lost a national treasure, a work that reflects the RB national spirit and integrity.
Seeing these related reports, Ye Tian let out a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.
This matter has basically come to light. As long as you are a little more careful in the coming days and don't reveal any flaws, no one will find fault with you.
As for the dissatisfaction and pain of the majority of RB people, just let it go as you like!
The Chinese people have been dissatisfied with them for hundreds of years! Just think of it as a small interest!
……
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Ye Tian carried his bag and arrived at the DUMBO Flea Market on time. It was under the Brooklyn Bridge and only ten minutes' walk from where he lived.
The flea market had just opened at this moment, and while the stall owners were setting up their stalls, he also started his treasure hunt.
Today, his purpose is very clear. He does not consider second-hand goods, but only buys valuable antiques with a halo, and he does not buy large items, but only small items that are easy to carry.
If you have a car, you don’t have to worry about this.
Unfortunately, his car had already entered the second-hand market, and then ended up in Susan's wallet and his stomach.
One more thing he is also very clear about: he will never see through the antiques here before he fully controls his eye powers! To prevent the situation of absorbing spiritual energy from happening again, it would be bad luck!
According to his estimation, after upgrading his powers and improving his physical fitness, the spiritual energy absorbed yesterday should be almost consumed. If he looks through the antiques now, the scene in the museum yesterday will most likely happen!
The market has just opened at this moment, there are not many stalls, not many customers, and there are not many professional treasure diggers. It is the best time to show off your talents.
The treasure hunt begins!
Ye Tian started sweeping from the first stall he entered.
This stall is all about kitchen supplies. At first glance, there are no luminous items. If you look at the inventory behind the stall owner, it is the same.
No antiques!
Ye Tian looked at it twice and walked away without even using five seconds!
The second store has a large row of old clothes and women's bags on display, many of which are famous brands, but they are far from antiques!
Ye Tian didn't stop for a moment, just glanced twice and passed by.
Although this stall has no value in his eyes, it is very popular in the flea market.
Although the old beauties are all wasteful and lavish, spending tomorrow's money today, but in some places, they are very frugal and rational, which is typical pragmatism!
For example, regarding the attitude towards second-hand goods, as long as you are an American, no matter whether you are the richest man or a beggar, no one is opposed to using second-hand goods, and many people still have a soft spot for them!
This has also created their unique second-hand culture, spawning many second-hand shops and extremely active treasure diggers.
Second-hand cars, second-hand clothes, etc., as long as it is not second-hand food, they will basically not refuse it, and they will feel comfortable using it without losing their share.
In the eyes of Chinese people, this is a bit incredible.
In the eyes of Chinese people, who would be willing to use second-hand goods if they were not living in poverty? Not to mention the clothes I wore.
There are already several people picking up clothes at this second-hand clothing stall, such as students from various universities in New York. Everyone is enthusiastic and very excited.
The third stall sold groceries, but also found nothing. Ye Tian stayed for a few seconds and left quickly.
"Hey!"
As soon as I walked to the fourth stall, a surprise fell from the sky!
A piece of white light suddenly appeared in his eyes, making Ye Tian extremely excited and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
This is a small round table in Baroque style cherry wood with gorgeous shape, soft lines and good workmanship.
As far as the exterior can be seen, no damage is found. It is a well-preserved old piece of furniture.
But these are secondary. The most important thing in Ye Tian's eyes is the white light it emits and the two layers of halo outside the light.
You can basically tell the age from the brightness of the white light. This small round table is about seventy years old, from the 1930s and 1940s.
The halo of light shows that this small table has certain artistic value and is not a generic product that can be seen everywhere.
Although he didn't plan to buy anything big today, this was the first antique he saw today, and Ye Tian couldn't help but want to ask about it.
"Hello, can you take a look at this round table?"
Ye Tian asked the stall owner with a smile.
"Okay, easy!"
The white stall owner nodded in agreement, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"Okay!"
Ye Tian responded, immediately stepped forward and squatted down to start checking.
There is no need to identify the age and artistic value. You only need to check the back and bottom for damage, which is very fast.
A minute later, Ye Tian stood up with satisfaction and asked with a smile:
"Hello, sir, I like this table very much. Can I ask the price? How much are you prepared to sell it for? If possible, I would like to buy it"
Ye Tian’s heart is moved!
This was the first antique he encountered when he officially started his treasure hunt. It was very memorable, so he planned to buy this small table as a souvenir and keep it for himself.
And it's very close to where you live. You can just find a taxi and take it home without delaying anything else.
Hearing Ye Tian’s question, the stall owner immediately replied:
"Thank you for your appreciation. This is a small baroque cherry wood table. It is very beautiful and in good condition. I want to sell it for fifty dollars. If you can accept it, you can take it away after paying the price."
At this point, we have to say that Americans are honest, and the prices for second-hand goods are relatively realistic, even on the low side.
If this were in Panjiayuan, the capital city, it would definitely be a process of asking for high prices and paying back the money on arrival.
According to Panjiayuan stall owner, his chamber pots were all used by Emperor Qianlong!
Not only will they charge a sky-high price that will make you jaw-dropping, but they will also tell you a touching story that will make you pee, making you feel sorry for them even if you don’t buy it, as if you missed out on a rare treasure!
Hearing the price offered by the stall owner, Ye Tian almost agreed, but he still held back and began to bargain.
"Fifty dollars! That's too expensive! I think twenty dollars is more reasonable, do you think that's okay?"
The stall owner was a little disappointed, shook his head and replied:
"No, twenty dollars is too low, I can't accept it"
"Thirty dollars, then. That's a very fair price. It's only the same price if you go to IKEA and buy a brand new one."
Ye Tian did not give up, and then opened a new price.
The stall owner pondered for a while, then shook his head and refused.
"Yes, you can buy a new table for thirty dollars, but it won't be this gorgeous, and it won't be made of cherry wood, so I still can't accept the price!"
"What about thirty-five dollars? This is the upper limit I can pay. If you accept it, then I will pay it. If not, I can only express my regret."
Ye Tian pretended to be in pain and made the final offer.
The stall owner fell into silence again, thinking about whether the price was acceptable.
Ten seconds later, he came up with the answer, smiled and extended his hand to Ye Tian.
"Okay, deal! You are the first customer today, just open the business, I accept this price!"
"Deal, I really like this small table, thank you for making it happen!"
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party excitedly and reached a deal.
Then he said:
"I want to go shopping again to see if there is anything else I want, so I can only leave the table with you first. I will take it away after I finish shopping. Do you think that's okay?"
"Yes, but you have to pay part of the payment in advance, just ten dollars!"
The stall owner nodded in agreement.
"ok, here's it for you"
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian took out ten dollars and handed it to the stall owner.
Then, he took a photo of the table with his mobile phone, left each other with their contact information, and then left and walked to the next stall.
After receiving the advance payment, the stall owner immediately took out a piece of cloth and covered the table to indicate that it had been sold.
Ye Tian continued to sweep the stalls, visiting more than a dozen stalls in a row, but found nothing.
Walking through these stalls, he would glance twice and if he found an antique that did not shine, he would immediately leave and go to the next stall.
This makes him completely different in the market, and he can shop very fast!
It wasn't until the twentieth stall that Ye Tian stopped and looked down at something on the stall.
A red light flashed in his eyes, extremely tempting!
An antique from the 19th century!
Ye Tian felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart!
