Chapter 532: Chapter 351 Offer It Up_2

Anyway, they wouldn’t lose out.

Based on their understanding of the market, some buyers didn’t necessarily prefer bottles filled entirely with meteorites—a little sand might even add to the charm.

There was also a large jar version, where the transparent glass jar was filled with sand and stones mixed with meteorite fragments, and buyers could manually pick out the meteorites. After selecting, they could send them for authentication.

It was all about the thrill of treasure hunting.

Their meteorite hunter team was now divided into two groups—one responsible for selling, the other out gathering sand.

They never underestimated the acumen of merchants—look, here was another one drawn by the scent!

The "tourist" stepped forward, a sense of urgency in his eyes, "Is it dug out from the core zone?"

"Of course! All brought back today in the daylight!"

"What’s the price? I’ll buy in bulk!"

"Everyone who comes here buys in bulk; we don’t sell individual pieces," the warehouse worker quoted a figure.

This was even a bit pricier than the Star Wish bottles on the market.

The "tourist" hesitated at the price.

The warehouse worker urged, "Hurry up and decide, mate. Those like you who find us on their own don’t have many options. There aren’t many locals willing to sell to strangers. If you don’t believe me, go out there and see if they’ll sell to you."

Meteorite hunters who had lived in Tuo Jia Town for years all had their channels and partners for sales, and wouldn’t trade with other merchants easily.

The few willing to sell only wanted to make money quickly and avoid risks.

Who knew what the appraisal results from Feng Yi’s end would be? If determined to be fake, the price of the sand they hoarded could plummet.

Although not a significant loss, they definitely preferred to exchange the sand for more money!

On the "tourist’s" side, he had his own concerns. As a small-time merchant, he too was taking a gamble, albeit with a gambler’s mentality.

However, if the bet were lost, he wouldn’t lose much anyway. After all, he could still sell those Star Wish bottles filled with sand with a few fabricated stories. The topic was hot right now and there were many willing buyers.

After some deliberation, the "tourist" still bought a batch.

Once the "tourist" had left and the warehouse door was securely shut with only the insiders remaining,

a young man couldn’t contain his laughter while counting the money: "Hahaha, we’ve hit the jackpot this time! Let Feng Yi take the heat, and we’ll rake in the cash!"

Another, older one glanced at him: "You don’t know squat!"

Looking at the empty shelves, the elder’s gaze grew profound:

"If those pebbles Feng Yi turned in turn out to be real and are confirmed to be fragments from last night’s meteor, I’d worship him!"

By worship, he truly meant erecting an altar.

Setting up a statue, an incense table, the full nine yards!

People like them believed in strength, but also in luck.

Luck was a mystical thing.

Divine or not didn’t matter; they were pragmatic. Whoever could make them rich, they would venerate!

Tuo Jia Town official inspection agency.

This morning, following the arrival of the United Preservation Bureau and Safety Bureau representatives, a team was formed specifically to inspect samples related to the fallen meteor event.

Today, the building was abuzz with activity.

While the agency staff went to lunch, the newly formed team continued their work.

In the staff cafeteria.

"Oh my, I’m exhausted. So many tourists brought things in for inspection today!"

"Same here. The tourists pick up rocks from the Gobi Desert, especially those with a bit of gem-like shine, and bring them all here for valuation. Is it really necessary?"

"If you ask me, those meteorite hunters are the clever ones; they don’t even bring in what they find, afraid that if it’s deemed to have research value, they won’t be allowed to keep it."

"Any progress on the new team’s side? Anyone know?"

"That’s being handled by the United Preservation Bureau and Security Department personnel. We’re not allowed near there, so how could we know what’s happening on their end?"

"But you know, I heard from the people at the main gate that Feng Yi brought in his collected stones for testing today."

"Which Feng Yi? The one who’s all over the internet? He’s in our town?"

"Hey, wait a second! Breaking news, the special investigation team from the United Preservation Bureau is back. I wonder if they’ve discovered anything new."

On a certain floor of the testing agency, where the newly established appraisal team was located,

Team Leader Yuan and his group had returned from gathering samples at various locations, which had been delivered in batches.

Team Leader Yuan and another head from the Security Department purposefully headed to the testing room where the appraisal team worked.

Before arriving, they had received a preliminary appraisal report.

It was the sample provided by Feng Yi.

Upon appraisal, a portion of the pebbles Feng Yi submitted was indeed meteoritic, and highly likely to be fragments from the meteor that had burst the previous night!

"How’s it looking?" Team Leader Yuan glanced at a screen on one of the machines.

An inspection staffer approached, handing over electronic data.

"Based on the data we’ve collected and comparing it with other samples, those found by Feng Yi are indeed the most likely to be remnants of the meteor from yesterday.

"You know, we’ve previously found unique crystal structures inside meteor fragments that fell after bursting in the atmosphere. This isn’t the first time we’ve made such a discovery. Today’s samples also contain them but feature a different kind of unique crystal structure."

Team Leader Yuan was familiar with the kind of crystal structures the employee mentioned. Major domestic and international companies involved in new materials and new energy had been investigating these unusual crystal structures.

The staff member then pulled up another page: "This is the peculiar nanocluster core that we’ve discovered inside these crystals."
