Capítulo 34: Chapter 34: Another Role Of Probing Eye
Seeing that the man didn't continue to pester him, let alone threaten him, Julian looked a little hesitant.
'Why didn't the plot in the novels happen to me?'
"Julian, what else do you want to buy?" Will asked.
Julian suddenly stopped and said subconsciously, "Didn't I accompany you to buy something today?"
Will touched his head and suddenly realized, "Yes"
'I was just so confused by Julian's huge sum of money that I almost forgot my purpose of coming here today.'
"Hurry up and see if they have Charcoal"
There are many props that can help fire-type Pokémon but there are only a few that can significantly increase the power of a fire-type.
Charcoal is the first choice of most fire trainers, which can improve the power of certain fire Moves.
The black market is not very chaotic. Instead, it is divided into several areas. For example, the entrance is a junk area, which is all messy and difficult to classify, so it is regarded as a junk area. Julian's aura stone is from junk area.
After the junk area is the props area, which contains various evolution stones, as well as props to help Pokémon to enhance their power. Charcoal should be in this area.
Going deeper is the Pokémon area, where you can buy Pokémon eggs and Pokémon.
"There's a Charcoal over there." Julian's eyes were very good. He looked at some stalls around and soon saw Charcoal at one of them.
Will walked over quickly and sure enough, he saw a black and cylindrical Charcoal the size of a palm.
"If you likes it, just take a look and we can get started"
The seller saw that Will was staring at Charcoal as soon as he came and was happy.
"oh-oh good"
Will hurriedly nodded, picked up Charcoal and looked at it carefully, flipping Charcoal from side to side, Julian was a little surprised as he didn't expect that this guy to understand Charcoal quite well.
"Julian, help me see"
Will whispered in Julian's ear.
He was just trying to feel it for a long time and didn't see anything but because he pretended to understand. Julian was deceived.
Julian didn't have much research on Pokémon props but it's still much better than Will's, a rookie. He took Charcoal and looked at it a few times but he didn't find any flaws.
"Release your Charmander," Julian said.
Hearing this, Will released Charmander and Julian gave Charcoal to Charmander and asked, "Does it fell that the fire energy in your body has improved?"
In the past, antiques could be counterfeited with the superb counterfeiting technology and could completely turn fakes into real ones but now antique counterfeiting is no longer popular but prop counterfeiting is mainstream of the current counterfeiting industry.
"char~"
Charmander looked at Will, then nodded to Julian , he felt that the fire energy in his body had indeed increased.
"How about this customer, my Charcoal is genuine and there will be no fakes," the seller said.
"How much"
After confirming that the Charcoal could help Charmander, Will really wanted it.
"half million" the seller stretched out the palm of his hand
The normal price of Charcoal in the store is about 700,000 and the black market one is sold for 500,000, which is a lot less.
Will hesitated as the price of 500,000 was still too high for him.
"How much do you think is suitable, you can quote a price and I will sell it if the price is right." The seller immediately said when he saw Will's hesitation.
There is no way you can sell things in the black market without bargaining. If Will really agreed, that would be a shock.
"Tw-two hundred thousand-" Will said cautiously.
The seller's face suddenly stiffened. My dear, I asked you to haggle but I didn't let you cut so much. That's more than half of it.
"If you sincerely want it, take it for 480,000." Although the seller was not happy, he still patiently told Will.
"200,000 boss, I only have 200,000, I really can't give a penny more. I'm still a student, can't you sell it to me for 200,000"
Julian , who was studying the Charcoal, was stunned when he heard Will's shameless words.
The seller took a deep breath, recited the slogan of not being angry and said with a far-fetched smile: "The customer is joking, you can go to other booths to see."
If it weren't for the rules of the black market, he would now want to drive Will away.
Will sighed, thinking that the identity of a student is not easy to use.
Just as Will was about to leave, Julian suddenly said, "This, Charcoal seems to have some problems."
"Impossible, you don't understand this thing, don't talk nonsense." The seller's face changed suddenly.
Things in the black market are unknown, good and bad. Every day, many people buy inferior goods or fake goods.
"What if I can prove there is something wrong with this thing," Julian said.
"If there is really a problem, then this thing will be given to you for free," the seller said. "But if there is no problem, then you have to take this Charcoal at the market price of 800,000"
"The market price is only about 700,000." Will was immediately anxious when he heard it.
Julian waved his hand to stop Will from continuing but looked at the seller and said, " I promise, but don't regret it then."
"Hmph, I've been in this street for ten years, if there's really any problem, I'll give it to you directly."
He was very confident in himself. He examined this Charcoal several times when he bought it. He also tried it with fire-type Pokémon, so he felt that there was no problem.
"Fine"
"Riolu hit this place with Rock Smash"
Julian pointed to a third of Charcoal with his finger.
"Bang"
Rock Smash hit the spot with precision, shattering the spot, leaving the remaining two-thirds of the Charcoal intact.
"how is this possible"
The boss looked at the intact Charcoal in surprise.
Charcoal has an ability, that is, once it is attacked by external force, either the entire Charcoal will be broken to dust or not break at all.
But now this Charcoal is obviously broken by one third and the other two thirds are intact, obviously not in line with its ability.
Julian picked up the intact two-thirds of Charcoal, blew on it, the broken part has become very flat.
"It's spliced," cried the seller.
Now there is a very good Charcoal counterfeiting technology, which can cut a whole Charcoal into three parts and this special cutting method will not break the Charcoal.
Cut a piece of Charcoal and then use the fake material to bond the Charcoal together.
Fire-type Pokémon can still feel the increase in Fire-type energy, since there is a third of true Charcoal.
Such counterfeiting technology can turn one Charcoal worth of money into three.
Julian was able to discover this with his probing eyes.
The Probing Eye turns out can be used in other places, not just for viewing Pokémon profiles.
