  Bai Fan looked at Wang Hai with some doubt, thinking that he seemed like a swindler. However, he really needed a good needle, and even if Wang Hai was a swindler, Bai Fan, who was used to being cheated, wasn't afraid of anything. Who knows, maybe he would get lucky and find something good.

  After some thought, Bai Fan said: "I really want to buy a set of needles, but none of them are satisfactory. If that so-called ancestral golden needle is indeed good, then I can consider taking a look."

  Wang Hai hastily said, "You'll definitely be satisfied when you see it. This golden needle has been passed down for many generations. It's said that one of my ancestors used it to treat the emperor's illness."

  "It's been passed down for several generations, I don't know how many ancestors?" Baifan felt more and more that something was off, but he didn't know if the other person was just talking nonsense or had a problem with their sense of time.

  "Right, this is a treasure. My father instructed me to keep it well and pass it on to the next generation before he died. However, life was forced, and I was helpless. If you're interested, follow me to take a look, and I guarantee you won't leave empty-handed."

  Bai Fan nodded slightly without expressing approval or disapproval, while Wang Hai hurriedly led the way in front and occasionally said a few words to Bai Fan, all of which were praises for how good and precious that golden needle was. Bai Fan responded with one sentence after another.

  Soon, under Wang Hai's lead, Bai Fan arrived at an antique shop. The shop looked very old and if it wasn't for Wang Hai skillfully opening the door, Bai Fan would have thought that it had stopped operating long ago.

  Wang Hai turned on the light and said to Bai Fan: "Wait here for a moment, I'll go get the needle."

  Bai Fan nodded and then began to casually glance around. The surroundings were filled with things that looked like junk to Bai Fan, and sometimes he really couldn't understand why people would spend so much money buying a bunch of useless stuff back home.

  As he rummaged through, something suddenly caught White Fan's eye. He picked it up and took a look, and to his surprise, it was a needle. However, it was already very old and worn out, with a black body that seemed to be made of some unknown material, giving off a heavy feeling in his hand. What surprised White Fan the most was that from the moment he grasped the needle, his heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable feeling arose from the bottom of his heart.

  Although he didn't know why it was so, Bai Fan had a very strong feeling that it belonged to him.

  "Found it, let's take a look."

  Wang Hai's voice came, and then he saw him carrying a box to Bai Fan's front. Bai Fan casually put the black needle aside, and then looked at the box in Wang Hai's hand.

  The box opened and a burst of golden light was emitted. Bai Fan looked carefully and saw that there were four golden needles shining brightly inside the box.

  Wang Hai casually picked one out from the middle and said to Bai Fan with a showy tone, "Look at this, it's all made of pure gold, and judging by its color, it's definitely an old gold piece. Just this point alone can sell for a good price. And look again, four different types of needles, perfectly suitable for various acupoints."

  Wang Hai picked them up one by one, compared and analyzed them, speaking with great enthusiasm, his words flying like spittle, his eyebrows dancing with excitement. If he were to become a salesperson, he would definitely be a gold medal salesperson.

  Although this golden needle looks good and meets Bai Fan's requirements, Bai Fan can't muster up the enthusiasm now, his whole mind is on that black needle.

  "What's the origin of this needle?" Bai Fan casually picked up the black needle and asked Wang Hai.

  Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Bai Fan to ask this question. However, he quickly replied: "This needle is called the Black King Needle and should have a history of over a hundred years. Unfortunately, because the tip is damaged, it has greatly depreciated in value. Of course, although it can't be used, it still has great collectible value."

  "Oh." Bai Fan responded casually, then asked: "How much are you planning to sell this golden needle for?"

  Wang Hai suddenly smiled wryly and said, "You also saw that I'm not good at business, not only didn't make money but also lost a lot. And this golden needle is my family heirloom, with over a hundred years of history. Whether it's for personal use or collection, it's extremely valuable. So..."

  Bai Fan frowned, he was just trying to raise the price with all this nonsense, it's a tactic he had seen many times before.

  "Just tell me how much money."

  "Two hundred thousand!" Wang Hai said aloud.

  "Two hundred thousand, it's not worth robbing. Can't you use your brain? Just by looking at me, you can tell I'm a poor student. Do I look like someone who has two hundred thousand to spend on this thing?" Bai Fan shook his head in frustration.

  "This... " Wang Hai smiled wryly and said, "If not, I'll sell it to you for 100,000. I dare to guarantee that there's only one set of golden needles like this, it's a limited edition. Even if I don't use it myself and resell it to others, it's worth at least 500,000. I'm just making money to spend, so that's why it's so cheap."

  Bai Fan coldly looked at Wang Hai, stretching out two fingers. Wang Hai hesitated for a moment, then hastily said: "Twenty thousand? No way, twenty thousand yuan isn't even enough to buy this gold. It's too little, eighty thousand, the lowest is eighty thousand, or else I won't sell."

  Bai Fan shook his head and said: "I didn't say twenty thousand, I meant... two thousand."

  "Two thousand? You're kidding me!" Wang Hai suddenly became anxious.

  "Two thousand is already earned, I think this layer of gold plating shouldn't cost much money, right?"

  "What does this mean, saying I'm gilding? Little brother, if you don't want to sell, then leave. I won't sell either." Wang Hai said with a huff, as if he had suffered great injustice.

  Bai Fan shook his head and said, "Whether or not to sell is up to you, but I'm asking you to have some technical skill when cheating people next time. It's so obvious that even a fool can see it's gold-plated, let alone the fact that it's been passed down for generations, how could it still be so shiny after hundreds of years?"

  Bai Fan said that, and Wang Hai immediately felt a bit deflated. "The light is so dim, but he can still see so clearly. Looks like we've met an expert this time. Guess I underestimated him."

  They usually cheat some old men and women, it's easy. But recently there hasn't been much business, so Wang Hai decided to give it a try. Looking at Bai Fan's young age, he should be easy to cheat. But unexpectedly, he was exposed in public.

  Lose a battle but don't lose your composure. Even if you're exposed, you can't admit it, otherwise there's no way to get along in the future.

  Wang Hai snorted and said, "Are you here on purpose to cause trouble? If so, then love it or leave it at this price."

  Watching Wang Hai's embarrassed anger, Bai Fan didn't take it to heart. With a smile, Bai Fan said: "It's not bad to come and go with something in hand. Five thousand yuan, I'll buy this gold-plated needle set. As for this so-called 'Black King' needle that's already broken, I think it looks good, give it to me as a gift, just consider it a buy one get one free deal, after all, they're both fakes."
