Roaming the universe, all thanks to your many dark skills!

When he parked the car in front of the antique shop, Rosen did not rush to contact Hou Lei, but left a message to Tian Yufeng on Weibo to ask for leave.

He had just sent the voice message when it popped up during the video chat.

Rosen had no choice but to answer the call, and then he saw Tian Yufeng, who was wearing no makeup and was obviously eating breakfast.

"What's wrong with you? What's the matter today that requires you to take a leave?" Tian Yufeng obviously noticed that Rosen was in the car, and asked again: "You are not..."

"Come on, please be gentle with your words." Rosen said before she could finish, "I came to Shimen for some personal business. I will go back after I finish it."

"What's the matter?!" Tian Yufeng couldn't help asking, and then said, "Do you need help?"

"It's a private matter, Sister Tian." Rosen knew that she must be kind enough to help, but there were some things he didn't want to tell others, so he could only vaguely say: "Don't worry about it, I can get it done soon, well, you eat first, I'm going to hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, he saw that the antique shop was not open yet, so he got out of the car and walked towards the nearby shops.

After visiting two or three antique shops and failing to find the mirror he wanted, Rosen had no choice but to stroll back to Hou Lei's antique shop.

The door was open at this time, and two shop assistants were busy inside.

"Hello, I would like to ask, do you have bronze mirrors for sale here?" Rosen asked.

"Of course we have." One of the tall men saw that Rosen was well-dressed and smiled, "We have all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings in our store. Although antique bronze mirrors are a niche category, we also have them here. Please wait a moment, I will bring them to you."

Having said that, he turned around and went to the back.

After three or five minutes, she came out holding three boxes.

As soon as he took a look at the box, Rosen had a little more expectations. After all, if it wasn't a real or good thing, who would go to the trouble of putting it in such an exquisite box?

But when the saleswoman opened the box and placed three bronze mirrors in front of Rosen, some of which were mottled with verdigris and some were full of antiquity, he just took a glance at them and rejected them all in his heart.

Even though Rosen was still a layman in the antique circle when he came here last time, now with the Level 4 antique identification skill, he has become a complete expert in this field.

As long as it is an antique, no matter how rare it is, he can basically recognize the authenticity and tell some tricks. His level is definitely not inferior to that of the curator of a private museum who has been collecting antiques all his life.

Therefore, he could easily see that all the mirrors this person took out were fakes, or counterfeits in the antique business.

Rosen didn't know whether Hou Lei's appraiser was not very good or not, and ended up being fooled by the fake product and selling the fake one as the real one.

Or maybe the female clerk in front of me thinks that I am young and don’t know anything about the business, so she sells fake goods and takes advantage of me.

But he definitely wouldn't buy these things, so he immediately said, "I don't really understand either, can I ask a friend to help me take a look?"

"Sure!" The female clerk was quite easy to talk to.

Rosen took a photo immediately. Seeing that there was no mark on the box, he sent the photo to Hou Lei and typed, "Brother Hou, I plan to buy a bronze mirror. Can you help me judge which one is real and worth buying?"

A moment later, Hou Lei's message came: "They are all fake, don't be fooled."

"Then I understand." Rosen smiled and said, "I'm in your store."

"Oh my god, you are playing tricks on me here, wait, I will be there soon, and I will not stop until I get you drunk this afternoon."

Rosen waited for a while before Hou Lei arrived in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he complained: "This terrible traffic is stuck all the way. It's so annoying."

Then he walked to the counter, pushed the three boxes of mirrors toward the female clerk, and said, "Put it away. This is my buddy. He's not that easy to fool."

The female clerk was not embarrassed. She smiled at Lawson, put away the mirror, and walked away with the box.

"What's wrong with you?" Hou Lei looked at Rosen, who was wearing something obviously different from before, and asked, "Why are you playing with the bronze mirror?"

"I'm just interested." Rosen said with a smile, "Brother Hou, do you have any good stuff? Let me see."

"To be honest, I really don't have any." Hou Lei shook his head and said, "This thing is so damn niche. Our place can't be compared with Beijing. There are really not many people who play with this thing. If I get it and can't sell it, I will have a lot of money in my hands."

"Then do you know where it is?" Rosen asked.

"Oh, you've got me stumped." Hou Lei frowned and thought for two or three minutes before finally shaking his head and saying, "I've never heard of it. If you really want to play, just go to Beijing."

"I must go to the capital." Rosen looked at the female clerk and said, "Please bring the mirror back. I'll pick one and go."

As he said this, he looked at Hou Lei and said, "It's a rare opportunity for me to come to your place. I feel a little uncomfortable if I leave without spending some money."

"Haha..." Hou Lei couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

Soon, three fake bronze mirrors were placed in front of Rosen. Two of them were imitations of Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors, namely a sunflower mirror and a sea beast and grape pattern mirror.

The other one is an imitation of a Han Dynasty bronze mirror, with an inward-facing arc pattern on the edge, a peak-shaped button, and a nebula belt outside the button seat. Its shape resembles astronomical phenomena, hence the name Nebula Mirror.

Speaking of beautiful and exquisite workmanship, the best one is naturally the mirror with sea beast and grape pattern.

However, after Rosen took a look at it, he felt that the Nebula Mirror was more to his liking, so he pointed at it and asked, "How much?"

"Take the two hundred." Hou Lei said with a smile, "I'll give you the mirror to play with, but you have to pay me for the box."

Rosen didn't bargain, just casually paid two hundred and took the mirror immediately.

After finishing his business, Rosen was not in a hurry to leave. He went to Hou Lei's room to drink tea and chat.

Hou Lei then asked him what he had been doing recently and why he had been missing for several days.

Rosen did not hide anything and just said that he had left Shimen and returned to his hometown. If it weren't for this incident, he didn't know when he would come.

After chatting for a while, Rosen said goodbye and left.

Hou Lei tried to persuade him to stay, saying that he wanted to treat him to a meal, but the problem was that Rosen didn't need the meal, and he also knew that this guy would not do anything without a profit. If he really had dinner with him, he would inevitably have to trouble him with something, so he declined without hesitation on the grounds that he had important things to do.

Originally, Rosen really wanted to drive directly to Beijing.

After all, Shimen is not far from the capital. If we go there now, we will be able to come back in the evening after finishing our business.

However, before getting on the highway, he found a secluded place with no surveillance cameras around and drew a talisman on the nebula mirror he had just bought. Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was the talisman successfully sealed inside the mirror, but the bronze mirror itself was intact and did not shatter like the glass mirror before.

As a result, Rosen was not in a hurry to buy a genuine bronze mirror.

Anyway, I have this nebula mirror in my hand. When I go to a world with an ancient background in the future, it won’t be too late to buy some more bronze mirrors.

Thinking of this, Rosen immediately gave up his plan to go to Beijing, turned the steering wheel and returned to the city. He first went to school to have a big meal with his roommates, then slept in a house he hadn't lived in for a long time, and drove back to his hometown early the next morning.
