Chapter 636: Chapter 663 This Is Too Difficult (3)
Looking at his expectant eyes, Lin Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "You certainly have good taste!"
Upon hearing Lin Xi’s confirmation, Shangguan Hong immediately became excited.
Because even such a skilled brother-in-law admitted he was amazing, his family would surely think so too.
But then he immediately heard Lin Xi say, "If you can find a treasure from a piece of raw material of little value, that would be even more impressive!"
Shangguan Hong frowned immediately; low-value raw materials are already deemed worthless by others.
Finding a treasure from them should be one of the most challenging tasks in stone gambling.
Hence, he said with a troubled expression, "Brother-in-law, you’re deliberately giving me a hard time!"
"You know even a master would find this hard to discern!"
After all, such raw materials can’t reveal anything from their appearance or with tools!
To put it bluntly, it’s entirely up to luck!
Lin Xi shook his head; although he didn’t fully understand, he had just cut out a treasure worth 28 million from a stone worth 10,000.
Although he used Spiritual Qi to discern it, he believed there must be people like this in the stone gambling world.
However, he didn’t tell Shangguan Hong about the previous event, fearing it might dampen his enthusiasm.
Shangguan Hong didn’t say much more and agreed to the boss’s price. After all, this kind of jade wasn’t particularly precious to him.
So, selling it for money was best.
He handed the small-mustached boss a different card, a card he secretly procured, which his family knew nothing about.
The small-mustached boss didn’t care much and uniquely transferred money to Shangguan Hong.
After receiving it, Shangguan Hong’s mood improved significantly.
Thinking about the future, life was bound to be much better.
After all, the pocket money his family gave him every month was terribly meager, supposedly to maintain a good lifestyle.
Then, he silently wandered around the shop, specifically looking for stones priced below a thousand.
It seemed he took Lin Xi’s words to heart, wanting to prove himself.
The two men planning to kidnap Shangguan Hong didn’t look pleased, wondering internally,
"Where did this brother-in-law suddenly come from?"
"Is he the husband of his sister?"
"But isn’t Shangguan Nishang single?"
"Could it be a cousin or something?"
The two couldn’t figure it out, but now so much time had passed, and the boss kept urging!
What to do?
Should they act now, but there are too many people here, and pretending to be parents clearly wouldn’t work!
Just as the two were unsure what to do, Shangguan walked around, looked at many stones, and his face became increasingly grim.
Eventually, he returned to Lin Xi’s side and said helplessly, "Brother-in-law, this is too difficult!"
"From my experience, these are all waste materials, or don’t contain anything valuable!"
Others, including the store owner, shared his sentiment about his statement.
Generally, one’s buying these low-value raw materials were either top masters or beginners wanting practice with stone gambling.
Those with some experience or skill wouldn’t buy them, as the odds of finding something valuable are incredibly slim.
Lin Xi nodded; he had just sensed but didn’t find any raw materials containing Spiritual Qi either.
It seemed that raw materials with Spiritual Qi weren’t immediately visible.
"Let’s leave, and check out other places!" Lin Xi said at this moment.
He also noticed the two trying to kidnap Shangguan Hong, whose faces lit up immediately.
Are they planning to make their move?
It’s fitting to solve this early; otherwise, they’re just an eyesore!
Shangguan Hong agreed, following Lin Xi out of the shop.
The two figures leaving the store caught the eyes of the two would-be kidnappers, who exchanged a look and quickly followed them.
They muttered to themselves, "Better for you to head to a remote place, so we can take action!"
Just as the two were thinking this, they saw Lin Xi leading Shangguan Hong towards a secluded area.
"..." The two.
Is this destiny smiling upon us?
