Chapter 1052
Sharon Lindt was completely dumbfounded.Nobody would’ve expected a seemingly lousy material to contain truly top-notch glassy imperial green jade!“How… How could this be? How could it actually be glassy imperial green jade?”“Logically, this shouldn’t happen… How could a lousy material like this contain so much glassy imperial green jade? Has there been a mistake?”“If only I had known, I would’ve bid for it too! I really shouldn’t mock others for having poor judgment.”“This pretty lady really does have good judgment. It looks like I’m the one who has poor judgment.”“As expected of the wife of Dragon Group’s heir. She certainly does have good judgment! I’m deeply embarrassed with myself.”The people who previously mocked her all had a shift in their attitude now.When they saw the extremely pretty glassy imperial green jade on the screen, they were so amazed that they could barely breathe.Looking at what was on the big screen, Xyla Quest was filled with a sense of accompl

Xyla Quest wanted to see if the others would still make a higher offer.“I’ll offer 1.7 billion…” A bald, middle-aged man said.“I’ll offer 1.8 billion…” Zim Hummers said.1.8 million…This had exceeded Xyla’s initial valuation…However, Xyla still didn’t speak. Instead, she silently watched them fight amongst themselves…After the bid price of 1.8 billion was offered, nobody else followed suit.The people shouting their bids in front of her also gradually began to disperse.Xyla looked at Zim and snapped her fingers joyfully. “Alright… It’s a deal.”When Zim heard this, he felt overjoyed…“1.8 billion… That’s really amazing…”“She bought it with fifty-one million and sold it at 1.8 billion. That’s one hell of a profit!”“This young, pretty lady has a boundless future!”The people around Xyla all looked at her in admiration. As everyone talked about her, they each wished they were her.At this moment, Xyla basked in all the glory.She went from being the subject of ridic

Soon, the bidding began.The starting price, fifty million, was the same as before…Everyone rushed to make their bids…In the end, the old man behind Xyla Quest offered eighty million dollars and bought the jade rock directly.After purchasing it, the old man looked at Xyla. “Lady, I’ll show you what kind of stuff is inside the rock that you said isn’t good. You’re still too young and inexperienced.”With that, the old man stood up and confidently looked at the auctioneer on stage. “Cut it open right away…”“Alright…” The auctioneer smiled.After that, Zim Hummers led three handsome staff members onto the stage.While everyone watched, Zim and the staff members placed the object onto the cutting machine and started to cut it open…The large screen behind them displayed details of the process clearly.At this moment, everyone was paying attention to the piece of original jade rock.The old man with white hair was also the center of attention.Soon, the cutting of the materi

Xyla Quest immediately activated her X-ray vision.What came into sight was another jade rock filled with glassy imperial green jade!Once again, the rock was filled with the same kind of green jade as before!When Xyla saw this, a satisfied smile appeared upon her face. She silently tapped on the table as she stared at the valuable original jade rock.This piece of original jade rock was only half the size of the previous one.However, even so, she was already satisfied…“This piece of original jade rock has a starting bid price of a hundred million…” The beautiful auctioneer said.However, nobody offered a higher bid.Throughout the auction today, the original jade rocks that seemed good on the outside all contained nothing spectacular on the inside once they were cut open.By then, many people already felt defeated, and they didn’t dare to act too hastily…It was the same for Sharon Lindt, who was next to Xyla.When Xyla saw that no one was bidding, she slowly and methodi

Sharon Lindt immediately shook her head. “Let’s not… This is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”“Why not? If you don’t accept it, I’ll be upset,” Xyla Quest said.When Sharon heard this, she shook her head helplessly. “Fine… I’ll pay for this material then…”“No, I’ll do it…” Xyla said.Before Xyla could finish her sentence, Zim Hummers began to speak on stage. “Pretty lady, are you going to sell this piece of jade rock?”His eyes were filled with a look of desire for that piece of material.Before Xyla could answer, everyone in the auction hall surrounded her instantly and began to offer prices—“800 million, sell it to me…”“900 million, sell it to me…”“910 million, sell it to me…”“One billion, sell it to me…”Everyone had a look of desire in their eyes for that piece of original jade rock.Although the prices they offered were very tempting, Xyla still wasn’t convinced.She calmly looked at their faces. “I’m sorry, but I won’t be selling this piece of material no matt

“Xyla… Tell me truthfully. Are you an expert in rock gambling?” No matter how hard Sharon Lindt thought about it, she still felt that Xyla Quest knew a lot about rock gambling and was just keeping it to herself.“I’ve never participated in rock gambling before, but my father occasionally did. Although I can’t say that I know everything about rock gambling, I do know a few things,” Xyla said.Xyla was telling the truth…She didn’t know a lot about this field, but she did occasionally listen to her father while he talked about it.To a certain extent, she was able to remember some of the things her father said.However, without her special vision, and if Xyla only relied on her little knowledge, she wouldn’t have been able to acquire those two pieces of great material from the auction today.After hearing this, Sharon was even more certain that Xyla was just keeping things to herself.In fact, Sharon believed that Xyla was just being humble when she said she only knew a thing or t

Encrustation formed over long periods due to dust, sweat, soil, or moisture. It then became the outer layer of an object.Generally speaking, the older something was, the thicker its encrustation.Therefore, Xyla Quest concluded that this thing was not as simple as it seemed.She immediately fixed her gaze upon the purple clay teapot, and she then activated her X-ray vision.Soon, the dark purple clay teapot began to enlarge continuously before her eyes…After that, her vision pierced the layer of encrustation. She was able to see the purple clay teapot itself.There was a lifelike dragon carved on the teapot. Overall, the workmanship was exquisite. It didn’t seem like it came from the hands of an ordinary person.Xyla then looked carefully at the sign hanging above this stall. “Second-hand antique trading.”For knowledgeable people, second-hand antique trading stalls like this in a night market were known for fooling idiots…Xyla didn’t expect to discover something good like

Xyla Quest smiled. “Of course, I’m serious.”With that, Xyla scanned the stall’s QR code using WeChat and transferred 50,000 to the stall owner…The boss was insanely happy. He tried to suppress his laughter. “I’m telling you now. There’s a rule in the antique business. Once you buy something… You can’t return it. I’m sure you’re aware of that, right?”This lady in front of him looked rather pretty, but why was she an idiot?Why would she pay 50,000 for a lousy teapot?Xyla smiled. “Of course, I know the rule. You’ll have to remember the rule you spoke of too.”Nearby, a few youngsters who were strolling past the stall couldn’t help but start laughing—“Young lady, should I say you’re a fool with a lot of money or a rich person who’s foolish?”“At one glance, I can tell it’s not worth it… You’ve been tricked.”“Yeah. I wouldn’t pay five dollars for this lousy teapot.”The things that Xyla heard were extremely annoying, but Xyla couldn’t care less about them. Instead, she smil
