Chapter 175: Stole the protagonist’s show
Emerald is divided into many types.
People often mistake that all emeralds are green.
Other than some dark and light green, they also come in colors such as red, yellow, white, black, gray, blue, and purple.
Their value was determined by their size, purity, and the sharpness of their color.
Comparably, emperor green and glass were two of the highest-value types.
In an auction, a high-quality glass emerald could go up to tens of millions of dollars, and even more.
The one Qin Tian chose was precisely one of those types.
Although this was only the raw material, it was both quite big and pure.
Its value could at least go up to a million.
Hearing the worker’s words, the boss was dumbfounded.
“What’s going on…”
Although he was the boss, he couldn’t tell what was inside the stones either.
Otherwise, he would have long been rich and wouldn’t be here selling stones anymore.
At this time, seeing Qin Tian picking such an outstanding stone, everyone present looked towards Qin Tian in awe.
No way, Uncle Qin’s so good at this.
What? Incredible!

Out of everyone, only Qin Tian and Wang Yi didn’t show too much of a reaction.
This is because Wang Yi didn’t know what a glass type was at all.
As for Qin Tian?
He knew what was inside already, and he wasn’t short of money, so there was no reason for him to express shock.
Rather, it was the system’s messages that attracted his attention.
It seemed that bringing two protagonists along was a great idea.
Just by “guessing” some rocks, he got 700 Villain Points for free.
Not bad, not bad at all. Now he was back at 1500.
“Uncle Qin, I can’t believe it!”
“Yeah, you hit the jackpot on the first try!”
“What is glass type? Is it very expensive?”
“Of course, as long as there are no stains deeper down, this glass type can be worth at least a million minimum.”
“My god, a million!”
Wang Yi was in shock, “Tsk tsk, my boss is my boss after all… He just earned a million without trying.”
As they discussed, the rock splitting continued.
Knowing that this is a glass type, the worker responsible for the cutting became a lot more careful.
Instead of directly cutting it, he started to carefully polish it little by little.
Upon finishing, Qin Tian just turned around and left without giving it another look.
The boss placed the emerald in an aesthetic brocade box, and handed it to Chen Mengmeng.
He then asked carefully, “Miss, are you looking to sell this glass emerald?”
He obviously wanted to get it from her and then resell it to earn a profit.
But naturally, Chen Mengmeng declined. She wasn’t short of money either.
“Nope!”
Chen Mengmeng didn’t even hesitate.
The boss gritted his teeth, “I’ll pay 1.2 million!”
“I won’t sell it even if you give me two.” Chen Mengmeng said proudly.
Is he joking?
This is the first gift for her from Qin Tian, it’s priceless!
How could she sell it?
The boss’ head dropped helplessly, but Chen Mengmeng didn’t bother to care about him at all. She quickly left with Duan Xiaoyu, along with her glass-type emerald, and went after Qin Tian.
“Hi Uncle Wang, can you help me hold this?”
Wang Yi gave an honest smile, took over the brocade box, and replied, “Sure, not a problem.”
“Thanks!”
…
Due to what happened just now, Chen Mengmeng’s admiration towards Qin Tian increased even more.
After a quick dinner, they explored deeper into the town.
The largest building here was similar to other high-end hotels, with its insides split into two areas.
One for normal guests, and one for VIP guests.
In the VIP area, there is a special VIP hall.
Inside the hall, there’s a large circular, washer-shaped, table.
In the middle, there were some workers cleaning the area, opening stones for the VIP guests.
There are already many VIP guests seated, and there were plenty of others standing around just to enjoy the show.
They all stared at the stones being opened, waiting to see what could be inside.
“It’s green, it’s green!”
“Holy shit, nice man.”
“Woah, look at it!”
“This color, only if it’s a little bigger. But nevertheless, this is still at least 5 million at market price.”
Looking at the most recently opened stone, everyone discussed one after another.
The stone had good color, decent size, and was pretty pure as well. It was indeed worth quite a lot.
Su Guofu happily patted the young man beside him, “Xiao Chen, not bad, it seems choosing you was right.”
The young man’s name was Chen Yang, 24 years old.
Although he wasn’t dressed too lavishly, he was handsome.
Chen Yang subconsciously looked at Su Yanran, who was behind him, and replied humbly, “It’s just some small tricks I learned.”
Su Zhengyang also smiled, “Xiao Chen, you don’t have to be so humble. How about pick another one for us to see again.”
“Shall we go find another stone to open?”
“Of course.”
Chen Yang felt like it was his chance to show off again.
After all, this was a prime opportunity to gain favorability in front of Su Yanran.
But just as they were about to pick another stone, 5 people suddenly appeared at the door.
Three men, two women.
One of the women in a short dress was holding the arm of the man in the middle.
“Huh?”
Su Yanran’s eyes lit up.
“Uncle Qin?” Su Yanran called cheerfully as she walked over in her high heels. “Hi Uncle Qin, you’re here!”
Such a beautiful voice also attracted everyone else’s attention over there.
Upon seeing Qin Tian, Su Zhengyang also greeted him with a smile and held Qin Tian’s hand.
“Buddy Qin, hahaha, long time no see, long time no see.”
“What do you mean? It’s only been less than a month.”
“Hahahaha!”
The two warmly greeted each other and held hands, as if they were childhood friends.
Being the villain, Qin Tian naturally began to receive Chen Yang’s hate.
“This man…”
On Qin Tian’s side!!
[Ding, stole protagonist “Chen Yang”’s show. Villain Points +300]
“????”
Qin Tian’s head was full of question marks, “There’s actually a protagonist here?”
