Luo Chao, carrying 2.76 million in cash, arrived at Huahai City's antique market.
This antique market is the place with the most concentrated variety of collectibles and also the busiest area in Huahai City.
Almost all antique enthusiasts in Huahai City come to this market to hunt for treasures.
Among the people coming and going, young men and women are the most common.
However, they mostly just glance around without stopping at one stall for long.
Even if they buy something, it's usually just items costing a dozen or twenty yuan, finely crafted artifacts meant to please their partners, which don't count as actual collectibles.
In contrast, there are middle-aged and elderly people.
These individuals linger at the stalls, either squatting or standing.
Some hold a Buddha statue or jade carving in their hands, negotiating with the vendor, while others use a magnifying glass to scrutinize an item, shaking their heads and sighing or nodding and smiling.
