The transaction was completed under the witness of the Administrator in Las Vegas. They began trading, and after Zheng Yifan transferred the New Hope Currency, the gambler, with red eyes, handed over his precious sword, Gan Jiang.
People are like that; no matter how much they sell their belongings for, they always feel a sense of loss. They always think they could have sold it for more.
However, if it were to be mortgaged or acquired in Las Vegas, the price would not exceed fifty thousand dollars, and that would still be an overestimation.
Zheng Yifan offered ten times the price, which was truly generous.
Of course, the main intention was to achieve the effect of buying a horse with gold, encouraging everyone to strive for the best weapons and equipment of the First Vitality Era.
This was the most important thing. He believed that from now on, Hope Gathering Place would experience a wave of archaeological enthusiasm.
More importantly, those ordinary Antique Collectors should also have good items in their possession. Even museums quietly housed more First Vitality Era artifacts. If it weren't for today, Zheng Yifan himself would never have imagined that among these forgotten antiques, there were still valuable items.
Ancient Mythology Stories were everywhere; perhaps an inconspicuous object in a museum could possess devastating power in the apocalypse.
Once the transaction was complete, Zheng Yifan felt satisfied and continued to wander around, trying out every gambling machine. The stakes were low, but he still felt happy. By the end of his exploration, Zheng Yifan inexplicably discovered that he had won several thousand New Hope Currency.
It truly seemed like a good omen.
When Zheng Yifan exchanged his chips and deposited all his money into his bank card, he smiled and began to walk out with Li Ning.
However, at that moment, a very strange phenomenon suddenly appeared.
Everyone was not discussing whether they had won money; instead, they all unanimously discussed whether there would be good items in ancient ruins and in the homes of various collectors and museums.
Almost everyone realized this was an opportunity to get rich—an opportunity for great wealth. Even without five hundred thousand, having two or three hundred thousand could buy decent fixed assets in Hope Gathering Place, allowing them to sit back and wait for appreciation and profits to roll in.
In the apocalypse, real estate speculation was extremely crazy. Hope Gathering Place could be considered the safest place. Resources were abundant, and more importantly, the higher-ups of Hope Gathering Place were here; it was essentially the capital of the apocalypse. Naturally, housing prices soared as new Superpowered Individuals continuously earned money and sought to settle down here.
Zheng Yifan himself never expected that real estate projects would bloom anew in the apocalypse.
It is worth noting that houses in the apocalypse were generally worthless because there were plenty of them among the ruins. Residential buildings were scattered throughout the city. Almost everyone could claim a luxurious apartment for themselves.
It was just that it was in the Newly Conquered City, not the lair of the Hope Gathering Place.
When their gaze fell upon that unfortunate Fellow, they naturally thought of the latest money-making opportunity.
"Hey! Did you hear? That Fellow lost over fifty thousand New Hope Currency and has already left. Not a word more, but I reckon this Fellow will dig deeper underground. After all, with such a money-making chance, they will definitely seize it," shouted a burly man in his thirties from the crowd.
He was a Fourth-Stage Esper.
His words captured everyone's attention; it was an asset that anyone could obtain.
All they needed to do was find those tombs underground.
"Stop dreaming. The Post-Apocalypse might still have those things buried. Right now, one goes in and one dies; the Post-Apocalypse tombs won't give up their dead easily. But who among you is sure? I've heard many stories of people wanting to make a fortune from the dead but never coming back," another person replied.
This sentiment received widespread agreement from most people.
Moreover, the Tomb Raiders of the Post-Apocalypse were too rampant and numerous. They swept through like locusts, taking away all the good stuff that should have been collected. There wasn't much left.
It was precisely for this reason that they were truly unwilling to engage in such activities now. Yet everyone’s eyes were still fixed on those unearthed treasures.
"Isn't there anything left in the museum? After all, those are Cultural Relics excavated by national efforts from underground!" One person broke the silence, and soon everyone erupted with excitement. They began to explore the feasibility of this method.
More people started to focus on private collectors and wealthy tycoons.
Those with a bit of status loved to collect antiques and artworks. But bronze artifacts were their true target; ancient items spanning thousands of years were certainly more valuable than modern ones.
They estimated that at least anything from before the Qin Dynasty would be sought after.
Back then, there must have been many treasures. Everyone began to research what treasures historical figures from ancient times possessed.
The most widely discussed was the Imperial Jade Seal.
According to legend, it belonged to Shou Yongchang's Imperial Jade Seal. If this item were presented to the Gathering Place, it would undoubtedly bring numerous benefits.
However, no one dared to stay behind. After all, it was the Imperial Jade Seal. Its significance was extraordinary; although it no longer held the same meaning, who knew if the higher-ups at the Gathering Place would take notice? Just one of those executives could make ordinary people like them vanish without a trace.
More and more people focused their attention on the legendary Ancient Ten Divine Swords. These were mythical items, each with its own unique properties. Obtaining even one would significantly enhance their combat abilities.
Even during the Three Kingdoms period, there were tales of such treasures. For instance, the three legendary weapons wielded by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Or Cao Cao's Azure Rainbow Sword.
These were all priceless treasures.
Excitement grew among them. They began to take notes, recording these as their future goals.
Ancient weapons garnered widespread attention, with bronze artifacts becoming a primary focus.
However, they seemed to forget that if any ancient bronze artifact had the greatest reputation, it would undoubtedly be the tripod cauldron, which held immense importance in ancient times.
The nation had explicitly prohibited the outflow of bronze artifacts since the Post-Apocalypse, forbidding trade and allowing collection only under special circumstances.
Perhaps the government was already engaged in collecting these items post-apocalypse. They likely knew about such treasures and acted swiftly to gather the most valuable ones.
Who could compare to the machinery of the state? The people in the capital probably possessed the most ancient artifacts and might even wield more mysterious powers or have mastered certain techniques from the First Vitality Era. (To be continued...)
