Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the System
Since they were so insistent and he lacked an identity, Huang Yu thought to himself that he might as well pretend to be someone else for the time being. With this in mind, Huang Yu no longer refused.
By understanding, Huang Yu also knew that the original Huang family in Liulin was a big family in Liulin Town. However, because the old master of the Huang family had practiced wrongly and had few descendants, the current Huang family had declined, leaving only one descendant, and coincidentally, his name was also Huang Yu, which saved him the trouble of changing his name.
As the only child of the Huang family, Huang Yu was naturally spoiled to no end. A few days ago, when he went out for a stroll, something unexpected happened and he got lost. As a result, the old master of the Huang family also passed away.
Although the Huang family has declined, it was once a big family after all. A dead camel is bigger than a horse, especially the jade stone workshop that makes people jealous. It's because of the death of the old master of the Huang family that no one in the Huang family can preside over the overall situation. The Su and Chen families, who are also from the Liu Lin big family, have long coveted the Huang family's Jade Stone Workshop. Of course, they couldn't help themselves. Under the joint suppression of the two families, the business of the Huang family's Jade Stone Workshop plummeted, and now it is facing the danger of bankruptcy.
Four people rode horses and galloped all the way, after two hours, they finally arrived at Liu Lin Town.
Just arrived at the Huang's gate, a yellow-shirted woman was seen from afar, walking quickly towards them. The woman was elegant and charming, making one's heart skip a beat.
"Yu'er, you're back." Huang Yu was about to use his scouting technique to check the other person's information, but unexpectedly, this woman suddenly hugged him tightly.
"Who... who are you? Let me go, okay?" Being held by a beautiful woman was comfortable, and the faint scent, the full and soft feeling made people miss it very much, but Huang Yu knew that this was not the time.
"Yu'er, you...you don't recognize me anymore, I...I'm your aunt!" The elegant woman let go of Huang Yu, her voice indeed trembling slightly.
"Miss, young master may have encountered something and lost his memory," Zheng Zhong explained.
"Lost memories? Heaven, why are you treating me like this, Huang family?" The beautiful woman heard the words and suddenly fainted.
It turned out that this elegant woman was called Zhao Yuanyu, the younger sister of Huang Yu's father. Now the entire Huang family only had Huang Yu and his aunt Zhao Yuanyu left. If she knew that her nephew was an imposter, it was unknown what would happen.
It was a long time before Zhao Wan'er finally came to.
"Auntie, are you okay? Come on, drink this medicine." Huang Yu held out the medicine and brought it to Zhao Wannier's lips.
Seeing Huang Yu being so sensible, Zhao Wanyu was also delighted. She took the porcelain bowl and drank it clean, then put it aside: "Little Yu, you're sensible now, I'm so happy. In the future, our Huang family will rely on you. I hope you won't disappoint your grandfather's expectations for you. Do you understand?"
"Auntie, I'm telling you, although I've lost some memories, I will definitely make the Huang family prosper and become the largest family in Liulin Town, or even in Zhongyuan Country." Huang Yu said firmly to Zhao Wanyi in front of him.
"Good, good, Yu'er has a great spirit. I think your grandfather would be delighted if he knew." Zhao Wanyi was overjoyed, although she had lost some memories, the current Huang Yu was even more likable.
……
After getting a general understanding of the Huang family, Huang Yu prepared to go take a look at the Jade Stone Workshop.
Liu Lin Town, as a large town and Jade Stone Town, is also very prosperous, much richer than ordinary county towns. Moreover, sometimes spiritual stones appear here, which are the most precious things for cultivators. If a Qi-refining stage cultivator obtains a spiritual stone, even if his talent is poor, he has an 80% chance of entering the Innate Stage.
So, once the spiritual stone appears, it's all over, and this willow forest town is so prosperous because many spiritual stones have appeared in the willow forest town. However, in the past decade or so, no more spiritual stones have appeared in the willow forest town, and as a result, fewer and fewer cultivators come here.
Jade Market, as its name suggests, is a place where people buy and sell jade, but there's also an exciting aspect - gambling on stones.
What is called "gambling on stones" refers to buying and selling unprocessed raw jade, which carries great risks but also high profits. High-quality jade is extremely valuable, while the price of raw jade is relatively low, so gambling on stones is a good way for both merchants and ordinary warriors to make a big profit with a small investment.
The risk of gambling on stones is extremely high, with some people becoming overnight millionaires and others losing everything, but the vast majority are unsuccessful. Only a tiny minority can make money from it. Nevertheless, countless people flock to the Jade Stone Workshop to gamble on stones, like birds flying to the same branch. This is the charm of stone gambling.
"Master, this is our Huang family's Jade Stone Workshop." Lin Fu brought Huang Yu to a jade stone workshop with the sign "Huang's Jade Stone Workshop" written in bold and powerful strokes.
In the distance there are several jade workshops, among which the two largest ones are Suji and Chenji, along with Huangji Jade Workshop, are the three largest jade workshops on this street in Liulin Town.
This is Jade Street, where all jade trading in Liu Lin Town takes place. There are hundreds of large and small jade shops on the entire street, most of which are controlled by three families: Su, Chen, and Huang. Among them, the Su family has the most, followed by the Chen family, and the Huang family is the least. As for others, there are some smaller jade shops that can be ignored.
Now the Huang family is being suppressed by the Su and Chen families, with few customers in front of their door, occasionally a few people can be seen, while the Su and Chen families are booming with business, bustling with people coming and going.
"Huang Zhanggui, aren't you going to come out and welcome him? Young Master is here." Lin Fu shouted before they even entered the door.
"Master, please come in." Upon hearing the voice, a man walked out from inside. He had a white beard and was about sixty years old. However, Huang Yu couldn't sense any martial artist aura from him. This old man didn't seem ordinary. After using a probing technique, similar to Zheng Zhong's, all that could be seen was his name, Huang Daishi; everything else was unclear.
This old man is a master, absolutely a master, this was Huang Yu's first impression.
Huang Daishi seemed to have a preconceived notion about Huang Yu, although he came out to greet him, his tone was very cold and it was clear that he didn't have a good impression of Huang Yu.
"Young master, find a place to sit yourself." Huang Daishi said in a light tone, "If you're here for money, then it's better if you don't mention it. Nowadays, the business of Yushitang has plummeted and there's no extra money to support your expenses."
"You... Huang Zhanggui, how dare you speak to Young Master like that? Young Master is now the master of the Huang family, all this belongs to him. How can you be so presumptuous?" Lin Fu saw Huang Dashi's attitude and felt discontented. No matter what, Huang Yu was the young master of the Huang family, the only bloodline left in the Huang family, and he should have taken over the family business. But now Huang Dashi spoke to him with such a tone, which was naturally not proper. Lin Fu was furious and scolded him.
