Hearing what Xu Que had said, Liu Jingning was stunned.
She wasn’t shocked by Xu Que’s bragging, but instead by his overconfidence.
He’s been so unlucky today, why on earth is he so sure that he’ll definitely find something valuable in these stones?
“Xu Que, are you mad?! Do you have any idea what you’re saying?” Buttface was surprised. “Sh*t! You’re lying to them again! I won’t buy your words anymore! You are Xu Que, not Wang Sicong!”
Hearing this, Xu Que and Liu Jingning looked at each other and smiled.
“Silly! Wang (?) is the family name of Wang Sicong, so it will still be Wang if you write it upside down!” Liu Jingning shook her head and smiled.
Buttface was confused, then he shouted, “You’re such a schemer! If I’m cheated by you again, I’ll also write my first name upside down.”
“Stop talking nonsense! I’m sure all the stones will be good!” Xu Que said and took out the X-ray machine from the System. It was as big as a human’s palm, and with its help, Xu Que could see through the stones. The inside would be projected onto the screen of the System. Besides, it only cost one thousand Acting Tough Points a day.
“Little Que Que, I think you shouldn’t waste your Spiritual Stones anymore. As far as I’m concerned, all the stones here are better than the ones you bought earlier, but still, there will be some bad ones. Also, the stones here are much more expensive. I’m sure you can get something nice from them, but I’m also sure that what you get from the stones will be far less valuable than what you’ll have spent.”
Liu Jingning shook her head, rather worried.
After all, it wasn’t clear that if Xu Que would be unlucky again.
Xu Que was very calm and smiled. “You’ll see! Buttface, follow me and play some background music!”
“What? What did you just say?” Buttface was confused.
“Background music! Come and take this MP3 player and play the song from ‘God of Gamblers’!” Xu Que said and gave Buttface a recorder that he had bought from the System.
Buttface was stunned and excited to see the MP3 player. He had never seen such a thing and was about to chew it.
Seeing this, Xu Que shouted, “You idiot! It’s not edible! Now press that red button, I need to show them how wonderful I am!”
“You mean this thing can play music?!” Buttface grew curious, as did Liu Jingning.
Xu Que smiled. “You’re full of questions, aren’t you? Be patient, you’ll see how it works soon!”
...
At the same time, at the huge yard behind the arched doors...
The whole yard was as big as two football stadiums and was surrounded by walls made of brick.
In the center, there was a pond in which several ancient pavilions of the traditional Chinese style were built.
Each one of the pavilions was a figure of great importance and represented an influential family.
Around the pavilions, there were many beautiful flowers and plants. Green mountains could be seen, and the murmuring of running water could be heard, as well.
Some scholars were playing the zither on the other side of the pond, and the sound of it could also be heard from time to time.
The atmosphere was tranquil and elegant.
In one of the many pavilions, there were a few old men of the Void Training Stage chatting happily.
“How nice this place is! The stone-cutting convention, under the cooperation of the Jiang and Gong families, is going to be a great success.”
“To my surprise, apart from us Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect, the other three Sects are also here, and the three big families in the Eastern Continent have sent many people here as well.”
“Both the Jiang family and the Gong family are bound to make a fortune from this convention. They’ve dug out many ancient stones from the Heaven Dragon Cave, and you know what, everyone in the Eastern Continent wants to have a look at them!”
“The Heaven Dragon Cave is such a dangerous place. It seems like they found the stones on the outskirts, but still, to get the stones, many powerful men in the two families have been sacrificed.”
“I’m so glad that Elder Qin is also here today. I’m sure you can get many treasures from these stones.”
