Chapter 530: Chapter 350: Go find Feng Yi!_3

Of course, when it comes to gifts, two aspects are particularly important: packaging and the sentiment behind it.

Filling these exquisite little glass bottles with sand that I’ve shoveled myself and having them wrapped up nicely would make them perfect gifts!

These contain fragments of stars!

Even without pieces from yesterday’s meteor, it’s very likely they contain fragments from previous meteorites!

Originally, the small stall owner found it bothersome and didn’t want to deal with Feng Yi, but upon hearing Wen Zhiyu say this and knowing they would buy a lot, he quickly replied, "Yes! I’ll have someone bring them over! What patterns do you gentlemen want?"

Feng Yi picked up a glass bottle the size of a thumb: "I want this kind, with no pattern, just fully transparent is fine. Give me a few extra cork stoppers to spare."

Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining both picked out some with patterns, taking a few of every style, as they had many people to gift them to.

After Feng Yi and his companions made their purchase and left, the stall owner saw several familiar meteorite hunters come over. They were obviously locals from Tuo Jia Town.

The stall owner was about to greet them but heard these people quickly say, "Do you still have those empty, finger-thick little glass bottles that they bought just now? We’ll take all of them!"

The stall owner was taken aback and didn’t understand: why was there sudden interest in these empty bottles?

"Just the empty glass bottles?" the stall owner asked.

"Just the empty ones! We don’t want the ones filled with meteorite debris, bring us all you have in stock!"

"Every size?" the stall owner asked.

"Every size!"

No explanations were given, but excitement shone in the eyes of the meteorite hunters.

In their minds: Meteorites can’t be sold openly right now, but they can sell sand, right?

To not take advantage of such an opportunity would be a crying shame!

The dealer spoke enthusiastically, "Alright! Just wait a moment."

With a chuckle, the dealer turned to send a message to his shop, telling them not to move all the stock out just yet, to hold onto some!

Judging by the actions of these meteorite hunters, something must have happened that the dealers weren’t aware of, and these empty glass bottles might increase in value!

He not only held back the stock but also had his employees hoard from other stalls!

With bulk purchases, the price could be driven very low!

At Tuo Jia Town, vehicles were returning one after another from their outings.

Inside a warehouse.

The meteorite hunters who had returned carefully unloaded several large bags from their vehicles.

People in the warehouse asked, "How was today’s haul? Did you find a few...?"

Before they could finish, they saw one person pour a bag of sand onto the sorting table.

"What’s this about?"

The meteorite hunter didn’t explain much but said, "Hurry, call some people over to help!"

He took out all sorts of necessary tools from the tool cabinet, including several magnifying glasses.

With a start, someone from the warehouse exclaimed, "Magnifying glasses, sieves, tweezers? You’re going to search through the sand for...?!"

Having been in the business for many years, they quickly guessed the answer from the others’ actions.

They sent a message to their subordinates to come over immediately and help, leaning over the sorting table:

"How can you be sure there’s something in it?"

"I’m not certain, but I have to try! When I was out looking for rocks today, that well-known expert from the United Security Bureau picked out two black stones from the sand and said they might be from last night’s meteor."

Feng Yi’s information wasn’t hard to find online. The combination of keywords "young," "good-looking," and "United Security Bureau expert" led to a quick search result.

Someone from the warehouse was puzzled: "He catches snakes, not stone identification."

Having heard the hunter’s account, they thought this expert was from the Bureau of Mines, an observatory, or a geological university, not just a snake catcher!

"An expert stepping outside their specialty is useless!"

"I know! But just in case, I brought the sand back first! Everyone else was doing the same."

"Right. Perhaps this expert Feng knows some insider information!"

To them, after all, he was an inside expert from the United Security Bureau; surely he had access to some inside information!

In another part of the city, within the most luxurious hotel in town, in an opulent suite.

A man with an air of new money fiddled with the gemstone on his ring, looking at the large bottle of sand on the table before him, his tone foreboding:

"I hope to receive a satisfactory explanation."

The meteorite hunter sitting across the table hurriedly said, "It’s very possible that this contains what you’re looking for."

The tycoon: "Possible? I didn’t spend so much money to hear ’possible’! Nor did I pay to buy sand!"

The meteorite hunter: "We truly haven’t had time to test it, but as you know, the current situation in Tuo Jia Town is such that the United Security Bureau and the security departments are here. Pretty much all those who understand appraisal are being monitored, so we must send them out of town for testing, which would take even more time. However, you’re aware, if the official results come out..."

The meteorite hunter tapped on the bottle of sand on the table, his voice deep: "It won’t be at this price, then!"

The tycoon wanted to say, what does Feng Yi, a snake catcher, know about meteorites!

But the words stuck in his throat before he could say them.

His expression unreadable.

Ah, Feng Yi...

According to some rumors, this person indeed seemed interested in meteorites, perhaps having more insight, or even insider information?

Without uttering a word, the moneyed boss remained silent as the meteorite hunter also waited quietly, maintaining a calm exterior but feeling somewhat nervous inside.

In truth, he didn’t know if the deal would go through, but experience told him that such transactions were better done quickly. Getting the money in hand was what mattered most. If any complications were to arise later, getting stuck with the goods would be unprofitable. The meteorite market had been cold for so long, no one knew how long this current interest would last; it was better to turn a profit while it was still possible.

He didn’t know much about the expert called Feng Yi, but since others in the trade were doing the same, he spoke with confidence—the words I said were not made up; I spoke the truth and brought it to you as per your instructions right away. As for its authenticity, I’ve said it, I can’t guarantee it.

If it turned out that what Feng Yi found were not real meteorites, or not from last night’s meteor...

That wouldn’t be my problem. You should find Feng Yi!
