Chapter 6: Made a Fortune!

  "Oh, is it? In that case, I'll change to another one." Lin Yueer didn't say a word, picked up the bowl and walked out.

  Zhu boss was startled by Lin Yue's action, and didn't expect the other party to want to leave without saying a word. He quickly ran over to intercept Lin Yue and said: "Although it is a Republic of China imitation product, but the quality of the imitation is not bad, it still has some value, one thousand yuan, how about one thousand yuan? If you can accept one thousand yuan, I will take it."

  "Keep pretending, keep pretending, I'll see how long you can pretend. They say Boss Zhu is heartless, today I finally understand." Lin Yue looked at Boss Zhu with a hint of mockery.

  "Haha, it's all rumors outside, how could old Zhu be so dark? One thousand yuan is indeed too little. How about five thousand yuan at market price? This is the highest price I can offer, considering our relationship. If you're not satisfied, just take it away. I think there's no one on this street who can offer a higher price than five thousand yuan."

  Mr. Zhu stepped aside and swung open the big gate for Lin Yue.

  Lin Yuehe smiled and asked Old Zhu: "Do you know why I asked who He Chang was at the beginning?"

  Mr. Zhu's face changed upon hearing this, and after thinking it over carefully, he asked incredulously: "You mean to say that He Chang let someone see this bowl, and they said it was a genuine article from the Kangxi period?"

  "Of course, you think I'm so confident." Lin Yue said with a self-satisfied tone. If Zhu didn't tell him He Changhe's identity, he really wouldn't dare to confirm that the bowl was genuine. As he spoke, Lin Yue took out the business card He Changhe gave him.

  "Haha, since Old He said it's real, then it must be true. I wasn't even sure myself." Boss Zhu's face was indeed thick enough, he had already seen through it, but intentionally called it a fake, and now that Lin Yue is holding He Changhe's appraisal, Boss Zhu is happy to take the opportunity to save face.

  "How about 50,000 yuan?" Thinking of the 100,000 yuan he mentioned earlier, Mr. Zhu felt a pang of pain, if he hadn't said that, maybe he could have gotten it for 20,000 yuan.

  Lin Yue stared at Old Zhu in shock, not expecting him to play tricks on him now. He angrily said: "Wasn't it 100,000 yuan just now? How did it become 50,000 again?"

  Mr. Zhu sighed and said, "100,000 is the selling price here. Haven't you heard the saying 'three years without opening, opening to eat for three years'? This refers to our antique and jade business. There are not many people buying these things, so naturally we have to make a lot of money from each sale. Otherwise, I'd be out of business. And your bowl has a small crack in it, obviously it's been damaged before, which greatly affects the price."

  Lin Yayi thought to himself, this line has indeed been closed for three years, and opening it up would mean eating the profits of three years. He recalled that not long ago, Old Zhu had said that if he were to break the rules, he would have to pay a fine of 100,000 yuan. This made him feel a wave of nausea. He thought that they were still friends, but didn't expect Old Zhu to be so ruthless towards him.

  "No way, 50,000 is too little, at least it should be 70,000," said Lin Yue.

  Boss Zhu shook his head and said: "Seven hundred thousand is too much, I can only offer six hundred thousand. If you agree, I'll take it. If not, you can look for another buyer."

  He stepped aside once again.

  Seeing Mr. Zhu's resolute attitude, Lin Yue also knew that 60,000 was the limit, so he nodded and agreed.

  Lin Yuehui walked out of the antique shop with 600,000 yuan in his pocket, feeling a mix of emotions. The events of the past few days were like a dream come true - not only had he regained his eyesight, but he had also developed the ability to see through objects. Moreover, he had stumbled upon an incredible stroke of luck, transforming himself from a penniless vagabond into a small fortune holder with 600,000 yuan.

  Lin Yue hugged the emerald wool in her arms and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

  Psychic? Clairvoyance?

  Lin Yuezong's mind was suddenly shocked, why didn't he think of this before? Maybe he could use his special ability to see inside the jadeite material, then his gamble would be foolproof. So far, no one has been able to see through the interior of jadeite material, if he can, he can make a fortune by gambling on it.

  Lin Yue was so excited that he couldn't wait to try it out and see if his ability could really see through the internal structure of the jade fabric. However, he thought of the scene where he fainted yesterday and felt a chill, so he decided to go home and try again, at least with some guarantee.

  As soon as he thought about it, Lin Yueh hugged the wool in his arms and walked towards home. He went to the market to buy a few pounds of meat to improve his life, and also went to the bank to remit 30,000 yuan to his parents. From childhood to adulthood, he had always spent his parents' money, and this time he could finally repay them.

  After finishing his homework, Lin Yue returned home and found that it was already noon. He hastily ate lunch and then retreated to his own room.

  He remembered that when he lay in bed yesterday and concentrated his mind to look at his phone, the phone would become transparent, which meant that when he concentrated his mind, he would develop psychic abilities.

  After knowing what to do, Lin Yue put the wool on the bed and then got on the bed himself, staring at the wool with confidence. Soon he shifted his gaze away. He remembered that He Chang couldn't see anything special about this piece of wool, obviously there was no green in it, so how could his heterochromia see the characteristics of jade?

  But soon Lin Yue felt that he had been overthinking, the characteristics of jade are very obvious, and what he saw through his X-ray vision yesterday was the same as the object itself, so the jade seen through his X-ray vision should also be the same as the original jade. Similarly, the stones inside were also the same color and texture as the actual stones.

  Having thought it through, Lin Yue felt a slight sense of relief. This way, he could test whether his ability allowed him to see through the fabric and also check if there was jade inside the green velvet, killing two birds with one stone.

  Then, Lin Yue shifted his gaze back to the emerald-green fabric and focused on it.

  Soon, the surface of the jade began to fade, and the weathered skin slowly became transparent. This made Lin's heart excited. The grayish-white stones inside also appeared in front of Lin's eyes, just as he had expected, and were the same as the rocks he had excavated when he was a kid.

  Jade wool fabric was like a piece of ice in the sun, melting bit by bit before Lin Yue's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, two-thirds of it had become transparent.

  As He Changhe said, there was no jade inside, which made Lin Yue slightly disappointed that the wool he had set his eyes on at first glance did not have any jade.

  But then he couldn't help but laugh at his own idea, calling it a gamble means there's absolute risk involved, no one dares to say for sure that the jadeite has emeralds inside, even if it does, no one can judge how much the emeralds are worth. This is basically just a high-stakes gamble, no one absolutely wins, even those few who have gambled and lost, they've just lost fewer times. Thinking of picking up a piece of jadeite from the road and expecting to find emeralds inside is really quite delusional.

  One-third of the remaining jade melted away, and a flash of green suddenly made Lin's eyes light up. He quickly concentrated his mind to look at the green, and soon a thumb-thick piece of jade appeared, only 7-8 cm long. The overall appearance of the jade was hazy, with not-so-good transparency, but its water head was quite sufficient, giving Lin a cool and refreshing feeling that suddenly cleared up his somewhat confused brain.

  What surprised Lin Yue the most was that green, like the bright and vibrant leaves of a yellow willow tree in early spring, with a fresh and vibrant green color slightly tinged with yellow, not diminishing the beauty of the single board at all.

  What a beautiful jade! Unfortunately, it's just a bit small!

  But being able to open up a jade already made Lin Yue very surprised, and he didn't ask for more.

  It seems that even Jade King can make mistakes. There is clearly jade inside, fortunately I didn't throw it away because of the trouble at that time.

  At this moment, Lin Yue felt a stinging sensation in his eyes, and his brain was also dizzy. His vision suddenly turned black, and after having the first experience, he quickly closed his eyes, took deep breaths, and slowly adjusted himself.

  It was a long time before Lin Yue opened his eyes again, and the pale face that had turned white earlier also regained a hint of redness.

  "Hmm..."

  Lin Yue often let out a sigh and decided that unless absolutely necessary, he would try to use his powers less.

  Just like an exam, it's no use thinking about cheating all the time, what matters is that there must be cheating to make sense, good steel should be used on the blade, only then can its value be reflected.

  Lin Yue stood up and came to the messy balcony outside, looking at the high-rise buildings in the distance, he had a urge to fly, with his new ability, his future would be infinitely wonderful!

  Lin Yue felt that he could no longer stay in this small county town. He wanted to leave and go out into the big world outside, where there was a place for him to display his talents.

  Thinking of this, Lin Yue involuntarily clenched the business card of He Changhe in his pocket.

  Kunming, I'm here!

  In the evening, Lin Yue made a table of good dishes to wait for Qin Yaoyao. At the time of getting off work, Qin Yaoyao opened the door on time and saw a table of dishes in front of her, and she was stunned. She then smiled and asked: "Lin Yue, did you win the lottery or something? Why are you upgrading your life again?"

  "Yes, we won! Good things should be shared with everyone. Come on, I just made it, let's eat while it's hot." Lin Yue called out to Qin Yaya.

  "Then I won't be polite, hehe." Qin Yaoyao flung the bag off her shoulder onto the sofa, then rushed into the kitchen to wash her hands quickly, and ran to the dinner table in a flurry, picking up a piece of meat and putting it straight into her mouth.
