Chapter 260 Ancient Craftsmanship
Chapter 260 Ancient Craftsmanship
Xi Ze took the Tang sword and originally planned to take a look at it, return it, and leave as soon as possible.
However, after taking a closer look, his expression became serious.
Then he couldn't help but ask, "Is this a replica of a cold weapon blueprint from ancient times?"
"Uh, yes!" Jiang Wanwan nodded calmly, but she was complaining wildly in her heart.
Goodness, she thought calling herself 'ancient' was quite appropriate.
But I didn’t expect that in the eyes of the people in this world, the Earth era is an ancient period!
Caesar's expression calmed down, and he flicked the blade with his finger.
Listening to the crisp sound echoing in the air, he said, "It's quite similar, but the quality is too poor, isn't it?"
Poor quality? The craftsmanship of this Tang sword is already top-notch on Earth!
Well, from the perspective of a level six technological civilization, it may indeed be a little lacking.
But Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but speak up in defense of the Earth.
"According to the craftsmanship at the time, this was considered a good standard."
Hearing this, Caesar sneered with a look of contempt on his face.
"Craftsmanship from ancient times, how can you... wait!"
Caesar suddenly paused while speaking, as if he had thought of something, and asked Jiang Wanwan with wide eyes.
"Are you saying that this ancient-style cold weapon is a replica of ancient craftsmanship?"
This Tang sword is a cold weapon from ancient times, not an imitation.
However, when this fact is made known, no one will believe it.
Under the other party's nervous gaze, Jiang Wanwan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
It's a bit funny to pass off genuine products as imitations.
After getting the answer, Caesar was ecstatic and murmured to himself:
"Indeed, how could today's technology produce cold weapons of such poor quality? Only the most primitive craftsmanship could produce such an effect!"
Jiang Wanwan's face turned black after hearing this. There was no need to say this kind of certification out loud.
"However, you actually cracked the manufacturing process of ancient cold weapons and restored it according to the process. It's really amazing!" Xize praised excitedly.
Jiang Wanwan could understand the other party's excitement at the moment.
If she found a brand new bronze sword made entirely according to ancient craftsmanship in a small shop on Earth, she would probably be just as excited, right?
However, this is a good opportunity to confirm his previously fabricated identity.
Jiang Wanwan then said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment. I didn't crack this technique myself!"
Facing Caesar's inquiring gaze, Jiang Wanwan explained with a smile.
"As I mentioned before, I'm a businessman who travels around the world. I got the craftsmanship for this cold weapon from someone on a certain planet."
Caesar was stunned, but his excitement calmed down a bit, and then he remembered his previous suspicion and contempt.
Suddenly, he apologized with some shame: "I'm sorry for my unfriendly attitude earlier!"
Now Xize has completely believed the identity that Jiang Wanwan said.
The ancient manufacturing technology of cold weapons has never been heard of before, and it can only be traded from other planets.
Furthermore, with this technology in hand, the other party can easily acquire a large amount of wealth, so what reason is there to lie and deceive him?
What Jiang Wanwan wanted originally was Xize's trust, so she naturally accepted his apology immediately.
The atmosphere relaxed and entered a friendly stage.
Xi Ze raised the Tang sword in his hand and asked impatiently.
"You said you were a businessman before, so are all these things for sale?"
"Of course, this Tang sword is 100 star coins!" Jiang Wanwan replied with a smile.
The fish is hooked, looks like the supermarket can open today!
"100 star coins? Are you talking about 100 energy coins?" Caesar asked in confusion.
100 energy coins, equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly living expenses, can be exchanged for a cold weapon made with ancient craftsmanship, which is quite a good deal.
Jiang Wanwan simply shook her head and said, "No, I don't accept currencies from other planets. I only accept barter!"
"Barter?" Caesar frowned immediately.
Since this method is chosen, why should the Tang Dao be priced at 100?
Then, Jiang Wanwan was heard explaining in detail.
"I have a machine here. You take out an item and put it in. It will immediately evaluate the price. If you agree with the price, you can start the transaction. If you don't agree, you can exchange it for another one."
Now Caesar understood and glanced at the star coin exchanger next to him, but he didn't look surprised.
Machines like this that can assess prices are very common on this planet.
"So what kind of items do you buy here?" Caesar asked again.
"Anything is fine! Food, clothing, transportation, entertainment, weapons, mechas, etc. Even a pair of shoes or a pair of dishes and chopsticks will do!" Jiang Wanwan said proudly.
Anything from this planet, if brought back to Earth, would be one or even several new technologies.
No matter what the other party offers, Jiang Wanwan feels that she has made a profit.
But to Caesar, these words were the other party's humble way of comforting him.
After all, how could a big man who can travel between planets be interested in these things that are readily available?
Caesar carefully considered all the things he currently had with him, hoping to find something that was worthwhile.
Jiang Wanwan was very interested in what Caesar was going to bring out.
But she had to speak and interrupt the other person's thoughts.
"Wait, before we start the transaction, I would like to introduce you to two other items in the store."
Now that the fish is trapped, there is no need to worry about it running away unexpectedly.
Naturally, I have to take the opportunity to promote the other two items in the supermarket. Maybe there will be surprises!
Hearing this, Caesar did not refuse, but looked up at the other two shelves.
Since the other party can produce such a good thing as a cold weapon made with ancient craftsmanship, then the other two items that were previously ignored must not be ordinary items, right?
Even if the other two items were just ordinary items, it would give him some time to think about what to trade.
Caesar's gaze lingered on the mineral water for a little longer.
Jiang Wanwan was not disappointed and happily picked up a bottle of mineral water and introduced it.
As for the more anticipated steamed buns, let’s treat them as the finale product and introduce them last!
With the previous incident with the Tang Dao, Jiang Wanwan had a preliminary understanding of this world. Now when introducing it, she knew how to highlight the key points.
"This mineral water has a plastic bottle on the outside, but inside is pure natural fresh water, suitable for daily drinking!"
