Chapter 270: 270. Chance Encounter

Anna had always known this.

But perhaps, she rarely saw this with her own eyes.

The people here were not in exactly good condition. Many of them were a bit skinny due to the current situation and so on. Only a portion of them were still able to live well even if the situation outside was not very promising.

But their number was exceptionally small.

They continued to walk and noticed that there were also people who sold jewelries for the sake of food.

"Can you trade jewelries for contribution points?" Anna suddenly asked.

"Well, yes, you can." Dylan thought for a moment. "But the amount of contribution point is not much. Even though these things are considered to be valuable, but in this situation, they’re not very useful. The base is also unwilling to trade so many useless things."

Anna guessed that the price of these jewelries should have experienced a new low. It was no wonder that this person wanted to trade jewelries for a few kilograms of grain or other things of equal value.

At this period of time, the price was not exceptionally low.

But it could be even lower later when people were more desperate. After all, they could still exchange it with the contribution point at the trade center. Even if the amount was not much, it was still something.

"There are also jade." Anna looked at the colorful jade with curiosity. Her mother used to like jade in the past and some of her jewelries were also made of jade. Now, Anna wanted to take a look more.

"We can take a look if you want."

"Ok."

The two walked to the stall and looked at the jade there. Anna took one of them up and furrowed her eyebrows. "It’s a fake."

The stall owner was stunned when he heard that. "How can you say that it’s fake just after touching it."

"It’s made of glass. The reflection will tell you." Anna glanced at the stall owner and then looked at the pile of jade on the table. "Did you mix both real and fake?"

"I didn’t." The stall owner frowned. "Did you come here to make trouble."

Make trouble?

Anna just wanted to take a look at some jade and didn’t have much interest in other things. She looked at the pile of jade on the table once more and sighed.

She was by no means an expert.

But because she has been living a rich life and also encounter these things, she naturally learnt the differences between the real one and the fake one. For her, it was easy to recognize whether a piece of jewelries is real or fake just after looking at it a few times.

She shook her head and walked to the other stall that sold jade. The two people might know each other because they were glaring at each other just now.

Dylan looked at these jewelries with disinterest.

To be honest, in terms of this kind of matter, he knew nothing about it. He had no interest in jewelries at all in the past and only felt that they were shiny and all. But girls liked it, so Dylan followed Anna quietly and let her toss.

Anyway, they had contribution points.

Anna went to the other stall and looked at these jade. Looking at the light reflection, she nodded lightly and then said. "This one is real."

The jade owner smiled. "Of course, they’re real."

The other stall owner scowled. "Do you pay for them to say that?"

"What are you talking about? If I have so much money, I would go home and didn’t come here!"

"That’s what you say..."

Anna looked at these two stall owner and coughed. She asked, "Can you trade with contribution points?"

"One stone is 25 contribution point," the stall owner said hurriedly.

25?

Anna arched her eyebrows. There were not many people who wanted to buy these because they knew very well that there was not much of use of these jade for them. Most people could only earn a handful of contribution point each day and could only eat in the canteen.

Anyway, the price of food in the canteen was cheap.

But this stall owner quoted quite an expensive price.

She looked around and picked five jade that looked quite beautiful. "100 for 5, how about it?"

The stall owner’s eyes lit up. "Deal!"

Anna smiled and then paid the contribution point.

The stall owner at the side looked at this man in annoyance but could only huff.

They could barely sell one stone a day and most of the time, they would stand here and do nothing. If not because they paid contribution point to set up stalls, they might not even be able to occupy a place.

Now, this competitor of his had sold 5 and he still sell none.

He was annoyed.

But he couldn’t possibly go curse others, so he could only swallow in silence.

Anna put away the jade and then looked at the other jade in this stall owner. These jade was by no means high quality. The five that she picked were already the highest quality of jade, but it was still far from the high quality.

If it was in the past, she might not consider collecting them.

But now, she has other intention.

The storage she took back then didn’t consist of jades. There were some gold jewelries and others but there was no jade. Perhaps, her father’s stores didn’t really sell jade.

Oh well, it didn’t really matter. She could search for it in other places. There should be some people who has jade and might sell them.

Anna wanted to take a look more in this market place.

"At this time, you’re still buying jewelries?"

The harsh female voice attracted their attention, making them turn their head to the back. Dylan’s eyebrows furrowed when he saw the annoying woman from before. "What are you doing here?"
