The paper-made items are so realistic that orders from all over the world skyrocketed and made peopl

The little mermaid couldn't persuade Li Yue, so she could only follow her reluctantly.

Before leaving, Liyue took out the thank-you gifts from the Demon King and the Mermaids.

The Demon King's gift was several thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a demon beast's egg, and some attack and defense talismans.

The mermaids’ thank-you gift was a palm-sized pearl that looked somewhat like the legendary night-shining pearl.

Li Yue: "After the monster egg hatches, you can use it as a mount. You can ride it whenever you visit the Monster Realm or the Ghost Realm. This attack talisman is made with the power of the Monster King. It's quite powerful."

Lin Yin's attention was drawn to the huge pearl... because it was actually emitting a faint light.

Could this be the real night pearl in the legend?

It was the first time that Lin Yin saw something like a night-shining pearl.

The so-called "night-shining pearls" of modern times are actually just fluorite that glows. In order to make money, many merchants even add coatings to "night-shining pearls" to pass them off as natural fluorite.

As for the night-shining pearls recorded in ancient books, in addition to the one owned by Cixi, Emperor Yan, Qin Shihuang, Guo Kuang, the younger brother of Empress Guangwu of Han, and others had also owned one.

Guo Kuang once "hung bright pearls on four sides, which looked like stars during the day and like the moon at night" to show off his wealth.

The "night-shining pearl" of Emperor Yan - "Shilin's Jade" has a night light that "floats but never goes out".

This shows that these "night pearls" glow both day and night, and their brightness never goes out. Therefore, the phosphorescence of minerals such as fluorite cannot meet the luminous characteristics of night pearls recorded in ancient books.

Modern research experts tend to believe that the night-shining pearls mentioned in ancient books are diamonds, which is why they are so rare.

But the one given by the mermaids was neither a diamond nor a fluorite, but a real pearl, emitting a soft light of light blue, as if there was a thin halo surrounding it.

Lin Yin filmed a video of the Night Pearl and sent it to Mr. Chen, the owner of the antique shop, with a caption: [Perhaps this is a "Night Pearl"? Doghead]

When Boss Chen received the message, his first reaction was, Impossible!

There are no night-shining pearls in this world, only fluorite.

However, when he saw the video, he was surprised to find that this was not a texture like fluorite, but was lustrous and shiny, and obviously looked like pearls.

His eyes widened. Even if it was a pearl, such a big one would look priceless!

The largest pearls in existence are the "Laozi Pearl," measuring approximately 24.1 cm in length, 13.9 cm in width, and weighing 6350 grams. It is currently stored in a bank safe in the United States and is valued at approximately 2300 million yuan. Another pearl, the "Puerto Pearl," is approximately 67 cm long and is on display at the city hall of a city in the United States. It is said to be priceless and is in a private collection, held for display only and refused to be sold. Despite this, foreign media reports value it at 1 million yuan.

(Both the Pearl of Laozi and the Pearl of Puerto really exist↓)

The pearl in Lin Yin's video, placed in the palm of her hand, looks to be about 10-15cm in size, which looks different from these.

He believed that what Lin Yin gave must be good stuff. He had seen it before, so he naturally would not suspect that she was holding a fake.

This pearl made him very excited, even more excited than the cultural relic that Lin Yin had taken out before.

He had a vague feeling that Lin Yin's pearl might shock the whole world!

So, he replied to Lin Yin: [Wait for my news.]

Then, he quickly called Mr. Dong.

After listening to Boss Chen's excited talk, Mr. Dong reacted the same way as Boss Chen did at the beginning: Nonsense, there can't be any real night pearls in this world!

However, when he saw the video, he was stunned.

This does look like a pearl, but it is different from the pearls produced by shellfish and clams, and it is also not like the giant clam pearls that are banned from sale in the country.

If it wasn't something Lin Yin took out, he wouldn't be interested at all and would just think that Boss Chen had been cheated.

But Lin Yin is obviously not an ordinary person.

Previously, people from Bureau 749 had contacted him and asked him to verify the source of Lin Yin’s cultural relics.

The day before yesterday, someone from Bureau 749 contacted him again and said that Lin Yin had officially joined Bureau 749, but was only temporarily a non-staff member. They hoped that Mr. Dong could assist Lin Yin. This was also the meaning of the above.

Moreover, people from Bureau 749 also said that they would soon establish a branch research institute in City X, and they hoped that Mr. Dong would join them at that time.

To be honest, Mr. Dong was very shocked.

He only learned about Bureau 749 by chance, as it was one of the nation's top secrets. At the time, he was far from qualified to join. He never expected that this little girl, Lin Yin, would have such a chance? And even be able to work with the nation's top secret agency?

Because he knew Lin Yin, he was also invited to join...

An inexplicable feeling welled up in Mr. Dong's heart: a mixture of bitterness and joy. However, he quickly calmed down. He was a researcher, and as long as he could produce research, that was all that mattered.

He will definitely assist Lin Yin, not let the country down, and never forget his original intention!

Then, he looked at the pearl in the video again. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this pearl was no ordinary item. Maybe it would really set a new world record as Boss Chen said.

He had to make another trip in person.

-

Lin Yin put the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, monster eggs and night-shining pearls into the ring. After all, these things were not useful now.

She asked the system to call up the mall level screen, and was surprised to find that after completing the Demon Realm mission, only half of the points were left for the V8 upgrade.

The points for this mission are so high?

[System: Yes, dear. This mission is too difficult and has exceeded the normal range. Therefore, to encourage you, the higher-ups have increased the reward points.]

Lin Yin was a little suspicious. Were the top brass in this system too easy to talk to recently?

Is there some conspiracy? Are they going to use her as a guinea pig for some new experiment?

She really couldn't believe that the top management of the system would become so kind. She was very sure that there must be some unspeakable secret!

The system heard Lin Yin's doubts, but remained silent and changed the subject: [Honey, you should go to the Plane Shop and take a look.]

Lin Yin thought about it and realized that, yes, she hadn’t been to the store in the dimension for more than a week.

Since the system was upgraded, she no longer had to go there in person every time, so she became lax.

She secretly encouraged herself, telling herself that she couldn't slack off just because she became a regular employee. She hadn't yet achieved her small goal of earning money, so she needed to continue working hard.

So, after giving herself a boost of motivation, she immediately went to her ring to check if there were any new needs in the apocalypse, and found that they were just the usual supplies.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

She still has a lot of these supplies in her warehouse.

After throwing some money to them on the scale in the ring space, Lin Yin went directly to the ghost world.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned to the convenience store in the ghost world, she saw Liu Zhenzhen crying, and her mother Li Peishan was sighing with a sad face.

There is not a single customer in the store at this moment!
