Xu Hao didn't even have time to change clothes and was wearing his security guard uniform as Liu Ruyan hurriedly pulled him towards Antique Street.

Although Jing'an City is not the provincial capital of Tiannan Province, due to its important geographic location, it is also faintly considered the second largest city in the Southwest Region. The Antique Street here is very large and is subtly the center of stone betting in the Southwest Region.

Here, there are daily stories of sudden wealth.

Of course, there are also tales of gambling tragedies, where people become completely bankrupt in a second, which is quite normal.

Liu Ruyan leads Xu Hao to the largest raw stone store on the street. "Xu Hao, just walk around outside for now. Wait for me, I'm going to meet their boss."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Ruyan called out to an employee, "Xiao Hong, where's your lady boss?"

Xiao Hong gestured towards a cubicle inside the shop, "She's in there!"

Liu Ruyan nodded, pushed the door open, and headed into the cubicle, where an almost two hundred-pound woman with a forced smile said, "Ruyan girl, what wind has blown you here? Come in, come in!"

Xu Hao waited in front of the shop, bored, looking at the stones of varying sizes. Some were priced at tens of thousands yuan, some at several hundred thousand, over a million.

Are they crazy?

That was Xu Hao's first thought. It's not like he had clairvoyant eyes; he couldn't see what was inside, spending tens of thousands yuan on a rock when the odds of finding jadeite inside were virtually zero.

Xu Hao's gaze swept over these raw stones, and he took out his phone, planning to watch some videos to pass the time. But as his eyes just moved past raw stone number 2, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his eyes and noticed a faint glow emerging from the stone.

Huh?

Was he seeing things? Xu Hao's gaze returned, and he looked once more at raw stone number 2. It wasn't an illusion; indeed, there was a faint golden glow on the stone. Thi.s t.ex*t was acqui+r#e^d f^rom* M|#V&|L0E-M!PY!R.

Meanwhile, among that pile of raw stones, numbers 7, 16, 34... roughly eight or nine stones revealed a faint glow.

What was going on?

Had he acquired the power of penetration? Could he see the jadeite inside the raw stones? Xu Hao studied them carefully again, and the glow on those raw stones varied—some were bright, some dim.

But as for the specific situation inside the stones, Xu Hao couldn't see clearly!

This was nowhere near as powerful as full-fledged clairvoyance! Just seeing a glow on the stones didn't mean there was jadeite inside.

Xu Hao was still hesitant when a man with glasses next to him picked up raw stone number 2, weighed it in his hands, and then said to the sales assistant, "Young man, I'll take this raw stone!"

"Fifty thousand yuan, you can pay by card over here!"

After the sales assistant helped the man with glasses to pay, they handed over the raw stone to the stone cutting master for free cutting.

The cutting machine's buzzing sound echoed up and down Antique Street... As soon as the first cut was made, the crowd began to exclaim.

"Damn, it's turned green, it's turned green!"

"The quality of the jade is good, but it's a bit small in size!"

"Not bad, it could at least make two pendants! Brother, for your jadeite, I'll pay one hundred thousand yuan, how about selling it to me?"

"I offer one hundred and eighty thousand!"

...

The raw stone number 2 was originally only the size of a bowl, and the piece of jadeite inside was not big, so the chances of it turning into a bangle were slim. Therefore, making pendants was a reasonable choice, and with refined craftsmanship, they could sell for up to two hundred thousand.

On Antique Street, there were many such people.

They didn't gamble on stones themselves, but after others' stones revealed green, they would make an offer to buy them, then flip them via channels for a margin. It was a business with sure profits, not big earnings, but no losses either.

The price of one hundred and eighty thousand yuan was quite reasonable.

"Alright, I'll sell!" The bespectacled man and the bidder of one hundred and eighty thousand transacted on the spot, and after the payment was transferred, he turned and left the crowd without much emotion.

However, the onlookers were still greatly intrigued, marveling at how thirty thousand yuan could turn into one hundred and eighty thousand so quickly. For many ordinary families, that was an annual income.

Because a piece of jadeite had been revealed, the mood among the crowd had been stirred up, and many were eager to pick out a couple of stones themselves.

Of course, the most excited at this moment was Xu Hao.

Just now, with raw stone number 2, it was Xu Hao who noticed something was off at the first glance.

Did a raw stone with floating light mean there was jadeite inside?

Xu Hao had now almost confirmed that this hypothesis was correct. However, Xu Hao was still not entirely at ease and decided to find another raw stone with floating light to confirm his theory once more.

His eyes must have experienced some mutation, Xu Hao quietly observed the surrounding crowd; it seemed they couldn't see that beam of floating light at all, only Xu Hao could see it.

Pretending to be choosing casually, Xu Hao picked through the pile of raw stones and then picked up raw stone number 8, telling the sales assistant, "Handsome, I'll take this raw stone!"

The sales assistant looked at Xu Hao with disdain, "Fifty thousand yuan... Are you sure you want it?"

When Xu Hao arrived with Liu Ruyan, they were seen, but given Xu Hao was still in his security guard uniform, it was naturally assumed that Xu Hao was just a security guard responsible for driving.

Next to the sales assistant, another girl with some good looks sneered, "Brother Zhang, why bother with this kind of person? Waste of time!"

"…" Xu Hao was very frustrated, as he was quite wealthy, okay? He currently had nine hundred million yuan in his card; buying all the raw stones here wouldn't be a problem, so how could he not afford a raw stone for fifty thousand yuan?

"Take me to swipe my card," Xu Hao twitched the corner of his mouth, ignoring the girl called Xiao Hong.

The handsome sales assistant hesitated for a moment, about to take Xu Hao to the cashier counter, when Xiao Hong suddenly reached out and grabbed the sales assistant, "Brother Zhang, why don't you listen to advice? I've seen plenty of these people... all acting. Be careful he doesn't secretly steal the raw stone. You'll be in trouble when my aunt finds out!"

Hesitant because of Xiao Hong's dissuasion, the sales assistant named Xiao Zhang asked uncertainly, "Big brother, look!"

Xu Hao was so frustrated he was nearly going mad. Do I have 'no money' written on my face or what?

"Swipe the card!" Xu Hao gave the girl a cold look, "Idiot, don't judge people by their appearance!"

The girl called Xiao Hong, with her arms crossed over her chest, retorted contemptuously, "I am judging you, what can you do about it? Ugh, you're the dog... I actually want to see if you can take out fifty thousand yuan. If you can, I'll call you daddy!"

"Fine!" Xu Hao and the sales assistant quickly walked over to the cashier, as Xu Hao threw his card at the cashier, "Swipe the card, for fifty thousand!"

Beep!

A clear tone sounded as the fifty thousand yuan transaction completed, "Sir, please sign!"

Xu Hao signed his name swiftly and looked at Xiao Hong with a cold smirk, "Beauty, come on, call daddy and let me hear it?"

"You…" Xiao Hong's face turned alternatively pale and red. She had not expected that Xu Hao, in his security guard's garb, could actually produce so much money.

Seeing Xiao Hong's deflated appearance somewhat brightened Xu Hao's mood. He ignored her and handed the raw stone to the stone cutting master, "Master, please start cutting from here!"
