Chapter 2914 The Story of the Lucky Cat
Lu Cheng got into his car, but instead of going home, he drove to Furong Street, a famous antique cultural street in the city.
It is a place frequented by many antique lovers in this city.
Of course, 99% of them are handicrafts, and only a very small number are authentic, so the prices are naturally marked very high.
If an outsider hopes to find a bargain, there is only one outcome - being cheated.
He quickly drove his car and stopped on the street in Furong.
Then he got out of the car and walked into the street.
There are shops on both sides of the street.
"Xu's Paintings and Calligraphy", "Zhang's Porcelain Shop", "Shengrong Art and Crafts Shop"...
He smiled and looked around.
Then he went into the antique shops.
It’s just a pity that the glass ball in my mind didn’t react at all.
He knew that if there was an object that could be transformed into a supernatural prop, the glass ball would react.
Obviously, most of the goods in the shop are fake.
Just a few treasures are not enough to activate the glass ball.
If we try to find a needle in a haystack like this, then it will be a big problem.
At this moment, when he came to a store, a lucky cat on the boss's desk appeared in front of him.
At this time, the glass ball moved, and the lucky cat emitted light.
Wow, the antiques I was selling didn’t make any movement, but one of the ornaments did.
He leaned over and looked carefully.
This is an older lucky cat.
It’s quite delicately made.
White and colorful, a cat's paw waving forward.
Lu Cheng walked forward, put on his gloves, and said to the boss, "How much is this lucky cat?"
The boss who was staring at Lu Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. He had never seen a customer who did not buy antiques but came to buy a fortune cat.
At first he thought the other party just liked this lucky cat.
This stuff can be bought in large quantities online.
The other party actually wanted to buy it. Could it be that this lucky cat was a real antique? Or was there some secret that I didn't see?
So he shook his head and said, "Sorry, this is my ornament, I'm not selling it."
"Oh." Lu Cheng smiled and turned away.
The boss shook his head when he saw this and said, "Kid, are you trying to play this trick on me?"
So tender.
He then took the lucky cat and looked at it carefully again and again.
This porcelain, this pattern, seemed to be just an ordinary modern craft. The key point was that he remembered that this thing was brought to him by his son when he was playing in Japan.
The key is that there is a factory inscription on it.
There is also a line of crooked text on it.
That was painted by his son with a paintbrush.
"I hope my dad can make a lot of money. Then he will be in a good mood."
Seeing this, the boss was deeply moved and decided to make his son’s favorite prawns when he got home.
However, when I turned to the bottom, I found another line below:
"That way, he won't go to work, but go fishing every day, and I can steal his phone to play with it every day."
"Bastard!"
The boss decided to make fried bamboo shoots and pork for the boy when he got home.
The boss thought so, looked around and saw that there were no customers, then closed the shop.
……
That night.
A figure walked into the boss's shop.
"Damn, what kind of hobby do rich people have? They don't want antiques, they just want a lucky cat?" A guy dressed in black, who was invisible at night, was walking around in the store and reached out to pick up the lucky cat.
The dark guy looked around, wondering:
"Is this lucky cat the code for some treasure?"
Then the dark guy decided to hide it for himself.
He was about to leave when he heard the door open...
It turned out to be midnight and the boss drove back to the store.
Because the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
That lucky cat should not be kept in the store anymore.
In this line of work, one is not afraid of losing out, but one is afraid of making mistakes.
It would be more painful to let someone else pick up a bargain of 500,000 yuan than to lose a million yuan yourself.
Because that will become a background for others to make a fortune.
But when he returned, he found that the lucky cat was missing.
"Damn it, who did this?"
He immediately went to turn on the light, only to see a dark guy hiding behind the door.
Then he saw the lucky cat smashing down on his head...
……
The lucky cat was broken into pieces, stained with the boss's blood.
The dark creature was so scared that it ran away quickly, without even taking the lucky cat it was thinking about.
The boss was lying on the ground.
At this moment, someone walked out of the door.
He looked at his boss and shook his head slightly.
"Why bother?"
"Cleverness leads to mistakes."
He stretched out his hand and saw the lucky cat.
It suddenly came back to life.
"Lucky Cat: Mortals can exchange their love and desire for its good fortune of getting rich."
"Family, love, friendship, brotherhood, greed, appetite..."
After Lu Cheng ordered it, he didn't pick it up, but just walked away.
The lucky cat was flashing on the ground, but after flashing for a while, it disappeared.
Before leaving, he made a phone call: "XX antique shop, found a burglary..."
Ten minutes later, the patrol bureau near Antique Street quickly rushed into the store.
Captain Wang took two people with him, called an ambulance, and then checked on the boss.
There was a hole in the boss' head, and his brain was faintly visible, but he was dead.
He sighed, human life is so fragile.
"The murder weapon should be this lucky cat." said Captain Wang.
At this time, the ambulance arrived, followed by the doctor and the nurse.
The doctor felt the boss's pulse and was shocked: "Oh my god, the brain is about to come out, and the person is still alive?"
"Hurry up and rescue him. Be careful with your head. Don't let the brain spill out."
As the doctor spoke, he took out a sterile bag from his body and put it on the boss's head to isolate the bacteria as much as possible.
Captain Wang's eyes widened. He had never expected that he, a patrol officer with twenty years of experience, could still make a wrong judgment.
It seems that we really need to get started instead of just looking at it and drawing conclusions.
And the lucky cat was naturally taken away as the murder weapon.
……
At this moment.
Lu Cheng was looking in this direction.
He sat in his office, and the scene around the lucky cat was all displayed in his eyes.
This extraordinary item, it seems, can not only make people rich, but also keep them alive.
A week later.
The dark guy was arrested and subsequently prosecuted.
The lucky cat was also retained as evidence.
Lu Cheng is very patient.
He went looking for other items, only to find that the glass ball did not have enough origin points.
It seems that we have no choice but to wait until this lucky cat takes effect.
Another two months passed.
Everything is settled.
The boss was discharged from the hospital after recovering from his injuries. The first thing he did after being discharged was to hurriedly ask Captain Wang for the lucky cat.
"That's evidence. We have to keep it for record to prevent the thief from overturning the case in the future." Captain Wang said with difficulty.
"But that is my family's heirloom, not just ordinary evidence."
“For example, if someone kills someone with a bronze vessel worth tens of millions, do we have to confiscate it?”
When Captain Wang heard this, he realized that this was the truth, so he said, "I'll go and apply."
He thought the application would be delayed for a long time or not approved at all.
After all, this matter is quite troublesome.
Unexpectedly, it was approved just one week later.
In other words, the lucky cat is back in the hands of the boss.
…The boss held the lucky cat in his hand and took the bus back to the store.
Soon, the boss knew the function of this lucky cat.
“It really is a treasure.”
"As long as you pay for your emotions and desires, you can get rich!"
"If you have it, you can stay alive. As long as your brain and heart are intact, you won't die."
This is great!
The boss thought to himself.
Obviously, he was going to start using this lucky cat to make money.
What is the boss thinking about what he will pay?
Is it to pay for family and friendship?
No, family affection definitely won’t work.
He doesn't want to have no son to be filial to him in the future.
Although his son is stupid and lazy, he always plays with his mobile phone secretly.
But at least she still knows how to love him, hopes he gets rich, and hopes he can rest.
As for love, he seems to have no love at all.
His wife married him just for food and clothing, there was no love at all.
Now there is some affection, that is, family affection.
As for friendship, it seems unimportant, but it is actually very important.
Most people always ignore friendship.
Fortunately, he was free and reading a novel.
He knew that if a person lost all friendship, the consequence would be that everyone would be wary of him or her as long as you knew one person.
Anyone who sees you will treat you as an enemy.
In fact, in peacetime, most normal people have a basic level of friendliness towards a stranger.
This is also why many people will take the initiative to help others when they encounter some difficulties.
Of course it can't be too difficult. For things like asking for directions or borrowing a light, I will of course help, but if you fall, forget it.
But if there is no friendship, others will look at you like an enemy, be on guard against you in every way, and even wish you death.
This is terrible.
The boss thought again, is he going to pay for his various desires?
That's even worse.
If he has no appetite, what is the point of living?
There is no taste in eating.
At least a quarter of life's happiness comes from eating.
Without other desires, such as the excitement and satisfaction brought by reading and the stimulation brought by watching movies, life would be boring.
No matter how much money you have, if your life is boring, you will die of depression.
Why do rich people play extreme sports? It's just eating, drinking and having fun, which is no longer interesting.
He thought about it and decided to sell his love.
After all, he doesn't expect any love.
He then said to the lucky cat: "Please let me sell my love."
He then felt as if something was missing from his body and his heart felt a little empty.
Then, in his memory, the vague love he had for his female deskmate at that time suddenly disappeared.
"I'm so stupid. I'm willing to be a bootlicker."
"What an idiot."
Just like that, he sold his love.
Sure enough, he became rich.
The next day, he was invited to attend a calligraphy and painting auction.
He saw a painting.
The lucky cat in his mind reminded him to buy it.
This calligraphy and painting does not look cheap. It was painted by a painter from the Ming Dynasty and is being sold for 120 million.
This is very expensive.
But now the economy is bad, and many people are stuck with their money.
Everyone understands that young people don’t like calligraphy and painting.
Without the younger generation to take over, these elegant cultural arts would not be able to be sold at a high price.
As expected, the painting was going to fail to sell.
In the end, he offered the reserve price of 120 million.
"Hey, this Ming Dynasty painting is not worth this much money."
"Yeah, does he think this is a painting by Tang Bohu?"
"Haha, another one who wants to take advantage of the situation."
The boss didn't object.
He went back and studied the painting carefully.
As expected, he discovered that the surname of the person in this painting was indeed "Tang".
But it is definitely not from Tang Bohu, but from the Tang Dynasty!
It turns out this is a double painting!
This was a method used by the ancients to protect precious calligraphy and paintings to prevent thieves from stealing them.
Just hang it openly in the main hall.
In fact, once you peel it off, you can see there is another layer underneath.
This technique has been used in many arts, such as murals and sculptures.
The murals from the old dynasty were pasted over with glue, and then new murals were carved.
Wow, from the Ming Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, this painting suddenly became a legend and a story.
If you want a cultural relic to be sold at a high price, it must have a story.
And the story of the "Double Painting" is very good.
Its price suddenly increased more than ten times, and dozens of famous collectors came to him to collect it.
After repeated appraisals, he sold it for more than 120 million yuan, which was originally worth 1700 million yuan.
This time, he made a fortune.
This made him very happy.
This love is worth selling.
Is the love of ordinary people worth this much money?
It’s not worth it. The maximum value is 88.8.
So he started to get addicted.
After all, in this city, more than 1700 million is not a lot of money, it is the full price of a house.
He decided to sell a little more emotion.
What are you selling?
He thought about it and decided that since he was old, he might as well sell the property in that place.
But then I thought, no, no, what if I become able to do it again in the future, wouldn’t it be too late to regret then?
In this way, he sold his desire to drink.
For example, wine, cola...
Since these are not healthy anyway, just sell them.
He will never want to drink again.
This time he made a fortune and bought a shop, but it was suddenly to be demolished because the road was to be widened.
The original plan was to build a road opposite, but for some reason, the location was changed.
In the end, he was compensated with five stores of the same size.
In this way, he finally became rich.
He doesn't need to open a shop, he can just collect rent directly.
He then sealed the lucky cat in his safe.
He felt he had earned enough.
So his son began to have a nightmare and had to be supervised by his father every day.
Finally, a year later, his son developed schizophrenia. On this day, he used a knife to...
Seeing this, Lu Cheng smiled slightly.
If the boss didn't get rich, he wouldn't have the time to keep an eye on his son's studies.
If you don't keep a close eye on your son, he will become a poor student, but a normal poor student. At least he will have no problem collecting rent while doing nothing.
Of course, no one knows whether there are any side effects caused by the lucky cat.
Later, the safe was found when the relics were being packed up.
The boss's wife simply threw it away.
"What an unlucky thing!"
She doesn't even think highly of this thing.
What's more, she has plenty of money now and her son has been sent to a mental hospital.
She was finally free.
This young boss is really too clever for his own good.
He never expected that he controlled his desire for money but failed to control his high expectations for his son.
Of course, Lu Cheng believed that if it weren't for the side effects of the lucky cat, his son wouldn't have become schizophrenic so easily and so quickly.
The emotions and desires sold by the boss seem to have no effect on family relationships.
However, people's emotions are interconnected.
Just like the human body, if any indicator is missing, it will cause overall disease.
