Chapter 2: Toad Skill

  Is it just going back like this? That's impossible!

  The door of wealth, the door of opportunity, had just been opened for him, but he turned back at this time. He was simply a fool.

  He Ming took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was only 11:30, but what had happened in this hour or so was more than what had happened in the dull and uneventful past 20 years!

  He Ming scanned the antique street, walking back and forth, thinking that since he was in a treasure mountain, how could he return empty-handed?

  With these glasses, picking up leaks is simply effortless.

  He saw the green light again and walked into the antique shop where genuine goods were abundant.

  The old man who ran the antique shop greeted him warmly: "Young fellow, take a look around, we have plenty of good stuff here."

  He Ming pointed at a green light antique, which was a beautiful colored bowl, with thin porcelain surface, exquisite and colorful.

  Through glasses detection, get a piece of information:

  Qing Kangxi porcelain.

  Worth 4 dollars.

  "How much is this bowl?"

  The boss said: "Young man is good, found a good thing at once. Qing Kangxi five-color bowl, sell it to you for 70,000."

  He Ming gave up on this bowl. Obviously the shop owner knew it was genuine, so he would definitely quote a price higher than market value, and there was no profit to be made.

  It's quite difficult to pick up leaks here, He Ming thought, because the owners of antique shops are all old people in the antique industry, they have become very knowledgeable about cultural relics, and it is very difficult to pick up leaks under their eyes.

  However, He Ming asked the price of each antique with a green glow. The boss is not a god, and he must have his shortcomings too. In this industry of antiques, who can say that they have never been blind to something?

  The shop owner finally walked over when he saw a calligraphy piece the size of a keyboard.

  A fragment of Cai Xiang's calligraphy from the Northern Song Dynasty.

  Incomplete.

  Worth 7 dollars.

  The shop owner said: "This is a calligraphy by Song Ke, one of the Three Songs and a great calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty."

  He Mingqiang suppressed his smile and said excitedly: "Oh, how much is it?"

  "The boss said: 'This is a good thing, Song Ke's running script, it's a fine piece. I'll sell it to you for 40,000.'"

  "Forty thousand is too expensive, how about twenty thousand?"

  "Deal!"

  The boss agreed so quickly that He Ming was stunned and immediately understood that he had quoted a price that was too high.

  I don't know how much money Huang boss bought it for?

  After the transaction was over, there were no other benefits, He Ming took calligraphy back to Huang's place.

  The beautiful receptionist, who had seen the young man come to sell porcelain half an hour ago and sold 53,000 yuan, was impressed by his return. She was slightly surprised and said: "Welcome, sir, what can I do for you?"

  "I want to sell a calligraphy," said He Mingdao.

  "This is it." The old man in front of him observed with a magnifying glass for half a day, and said strangely: "This calligraphy fragment, although it's a fragment, but the running script is simple and beautiful, the brushwork is like a dragon flying, the author's attainments in running script are extremely high, just like some great master."

  Because Boss Huang couldn't appraise this calligraphy, he invited his father, Old Man Huang. He Ming didn't know that he was a well-known figure in the industry.

  However, after waiting for half a day without any results, He Ming couldn't help but whisper: "Master, doesn't it look like the calligraphy of Cai Xiang from the Northern Song Dynasty?"

  Huang Lao was shocked by the words, and repeatedly examined it with a magnifying glass. Finally, he said: "This is incredible, young man! The calligraphy, this running script, indeed resembles that of Cai Xiang, one of the Four Great Masters of Northern Song Dynasty calligraphy. It's extremely rare to see such a piece. Each character of Cai Xiang's is worth a thousand gold coins. Although this is just a fragment, it's still very valuable and has great collectible value."

  Huang Lao and his son Huang Laoban discussed for a while, then Huang Laoban came up and said: "This is another genuine item, the calligraphy is not bad, we'll take it. However, since it's an incomplete volume and not well-preserved, further appraisal is needed. Let's make a deal, 70,000 yuan flat price."

  "Sold!"

  He made 50,000 yuan in one go. He Ming wouldn't sell it, he's a fool. But then he thought, if he lowered the price, he could make even more.

  He picked up another 500,000 yuan, and the heavy cash in his pocket made He Ming feel extremely happy. He continued to pick up leaks, while others picked up leaks and got tens of millions at a time. Why didn't he have this luck? However, He Ming was not familiar with cultural relics, and antiques worth hundreds of thousands were all treasures. Wanting to pick up leaks was basically impossible in his lifetime.

  But with the magical glasses, nothing is impossible.

  "Young people have found something good again, the younger generation is really impressive. This is my business card, let's be friends." Old Master Huang handed He Ming a business card with "Treasure Pavilion, Huang XueXiong" written on it.

  He Ming also introduced himself and left, time is precious, continue making money.

  He Ming walked quickly with a very happy mood, this feeling was too cool, without any effort, 50,000 was earned. Haha!

  In the next hour, He Ming went to seven or eight antique shops in a row. Although there were many ancient and elegant treasures that seemed to have just been unearthed, they were all modern handicrafts. Those painstakingly forged masterpieces were all rubbish in his eyes.

  Soon, He Ming picked up a few more leaks. The cheapest was a poorly sold ceramic piece that he bought for 300 yuan and resold for 12,000 yuan. Thus, He Ming easily got another 30,000 yuan in his hands.

  After picking up a few leaks, He Ming mastered some tricks. The boss knew the root and didn't think about picking up leaks. The goods were not good-looking, not rare, and had no collection value. Even if they were genuine, they weren't worth much money. So when he saw green light, he could bear not to take action. Because some antiques differ in price by only a few thousand yuan. Since there were too many antiques, He Ming didn't show white light anymore and went straight for the green light.

  In a smaller antique shop, He Ming found something strange.

  A copper Maitreya Buddha, about the size of an apple, but quite heavy, as if made from a whole piece of copper. The workmanship is rough, so it's not treasured and was casually placed aside.

  But, but this bronze statue is actually shining with blue light!

  Late Tang Bronze Buddha

  Value 11.

  Note: There is an abnormality inside this object, please pay high attention.

  The first Blu-ray!

  He Ming held up the bronze statue and asked the boss, "Boss, how much is this Buddha statue?"

  The boss was a middle-aged woman who was playing mahjong with others. She took a glance and said: "Each item is 500 yuan, no bargaining."

  He Ming was overjoyed and directly took out 500 yuan to buy the copper statue, then left.

  As he walked on the road, He Ming was pondering over this Buddha statue, which seemed to be a whole entity without any mechanism. He shone it in the sunlight and shook it to listen for any sound, but didn't find anything unusual. However, the information meant that there was still something inside the copper statue. Could it be that it was directly cast using a mold? No wonder the exterior workmanship was poor and the shop owner had discarded it among a pile of worthless copper statues.

  He ignored the Cultural Relics Protection Law and took a bus to a hardware store, where he bought a steel saw. He then found an isolated location and used all his strength to saw open the Buddha statue. Inside, there was really something!

  He Ming was overjoyed, took it out, and found a wax block with something inside. He tore it open and found a yellowed paper with dense ancient characters written on it.

  Treasure map? He Ming thought excitedly, but the result of the glasses' detection was:

  Congratulations on finding the red light item.

  Mysterious Ability Cultivation Manual

  Worth 120.

  Note: This is a rare and mysterious superpower cultivation method, which will be automatically downloaded into your brain...

  Some information was directly instilled into He Ming's mind. He Ming couldn't understand classical Chinese, but the content written in classical Chinese in his mind was naturally clear.

  Its meaning is that in the late Tang Dynasty, various places were in a state of war. There was a boring little soldier who loved to study, and by chance, he discovered a mysterious energy. With the help of this energy, he gained great power. Then with his powerful strength, he stood out in the army and rose to the rank of general through military merit.

  At that time, the war was chaotic everywhere, and it was uncertain whether the general could survive. In order to preserve this divine art, he specially made many bronze statues, which stored the practice method of the divine art in the middle.

  As for the method of cultivation, He Ming was speechless.

  Because when I was a soldier, after serving for several years without a girlfriend, and at that time, there were no adult videos either. So the sexual desire every day was very strong.

  One evening while on sentry duty, the lonely soldier saw a frog croaking and felt extremely bored. Suddenly inspired, he also started croaking like the frog. At that time, it was a full moon, during the hour of Zi (23:00-01:00), under the moonlight, the soldier felt something mysterious and cold fall onto his head, then enter his brain through the crown of his head. Coincidentally, at this moment, for some unknown reason, his sexual desire became extremely strong, passing through his spine to meet in his brain. The feeling was indescribably wonderful. Thus, he became infatuated with this practice and soon discovered that he began to grow stronger. After several years of arduous training, on another full moon evening, he obtained a true statement, and suddenly, yin and yang harmonized, and his divine powers were initially formed.

  Then Xiaobing's legs became strong and powerful, with boundless energy, learning the power of a frog jumping out can knock down high-speed charging cavalry. That's it.

  Isn't this the Toad Technique? He Ming finished reading the information and felt incredulous. Simply put, under conditions of lust, could one really cultivate like a toad under the moonlight?

  He Ming was a bit skeptical, because those Tai Chi Bagua Xingyiquan soft and fluffy kung fu were not reliable. In the international arena, which Tai Chi master or Bagua master was a top-notch player?

  It's a world where naturally strong and powerfully developed Western muscle men reign supreme.

  But He Ming believed in glasses, it wouldn't hurt to try anyway.

  According to the Xing Gong's cultivation method, it must be in a situation where sexual desire is extremely strong. After Xiaobing became a general, he took aphrodisiacs, food, donkey whip, tiger whip and so on every day.

  He Ming smiled and said he already had a way.

  However, the current priority is to continue making a fortune. He hailed a taxi and planned to return to Antique Street, but halfway through, an idea struck him, and he said, "Right, driver, do you know where I can gamble on stones?"

  "I know. Dongmen Street Jade Market."

  "Then go there."

  "Is the young man going to try his luck?"

  "Yes."

  But it's not about luck, it's about getting rich. He Ming thought to himself, I'm so stupid, the glasses detector can detect everything. The opportunity to pick up leaks is too rare, and he should have thought of gambling stones earlier.

  When He Ming arrived at the jade market, it was almost six o'clock. He felt a little hungry, but the idea of making a fortune overwhelmed everything. He Ming plunged into the crowd.

  People came and went, bustling with excitement. He Ming walked towards the stone gambling area. The scene was extremely lively, with people occasionally unwrapping stones, shouting that they had seen green, or letting out a sigh.

  In front of a pile of ore, He Ming picked up several ores that shone with green light. Glasses detection:

  There is jade in the raw ore.

  Value 8.

  Won't it be that simple? He Ming was speechless, and he gathered all three pieces of green-glowing jade rough stones without even taking a closer look. Others used flashlights to carefully polish and repeatedly observe, but He Ming just took them over directly.

  "Boss, how much for these stones?"

  "A total of three pieces, totaling 53,500 yuan."

  The smallest piece is 350 yuan, the largest one weighs around 7-8 kilograms and costs 50,000 yuan, and there's also a piece that costs 3,000 yuan.

  He Ming paid the money, the transaction was completed, and he told the boss: "It's all settled."

  The boss smiled and said: "Good luck!" But he didn't think much of He Ming.

  In front of the machine, watching Shi Fu Shi, he clearly knew that he had already won, but He Ming was still quite nervous.

  The master stone cutter picked up the first smallest raw stone and cut it. Suddenly, green appeared, and the onlookers exclaimed: "Green is seen!"

  "This young man is really lucky, the first piece turned out to be green!" Master Shi didn't dare to be careless and carefully opened a small gap. However, the original stone was too small, and the material that came out was quite ordinary, not enough green and not enough water. Nevertheless, one of the onlookers bought it for 5,000 yuan.

  The jade master continued to uncover the second piece, which was 3000 yuan and the size of an adult's fist. As expected, another piece of jadeite appeared, although it was just a common bean-sized jadeite, but its water content was sufficient and green enough to be carved into a pair of bangles, making it valuable. The scene became even more lively. Someone shouted, "I'll give you 500,000! Sell this jadeite to me!" He Ming looked at that person, a rich-looking middle-aged man, but immediately, someone else shouted, "I'll give you 600,000!"

  As a result, the middle-aged man just bought it for 800,000 yuan.

  Looking at the phone showing 80,000 yuan in his account, He Ming burst out laughing, making money was too easy.

  But there is still one more thing, He Ming has a premonition that it will definitely not disappoint him.

  The connection was cut and two original stones were revealed, with over a hundred people watching. The stone master controlled the machine and made a cut, but this time no green light appeared. He Ming was stunned, wondering if his glasses had also malfunctioned. However, the onlookers applauded: "It's rising again! It's too amazing!"

  What's going on? He Ming didn't know that jade isn't always green.

  The master stone cutter opened his mouth, stopped cutting the stone, and the boss came over to say: "It's a peony species, young man with good eyesight, all three have increased in value. Too awesome! This piece of peony species is not for sale, it's not small, can be exchanged for several pairs of bracelets, I'll buy it for 300,000 yuan."

  "Old Yang is not being honest, this material is worth 400,000 yuan." The middle-aged man who had just bought the material chimed in and said: "Young man, you're really impressive. Let me introduce myself, my surname is Gao, Gao Weiguo." As he spoke, he extended his hand.

  "Hello boss Gao, I'm He Ming." As they shook hands. He Ming said: "In that case, I'll sell 40,000 to big brother Gao."

  Gao Weiguo said: "Great, you're a good person. Secretary Zhang, just like before, transfer 400,000 yuan to Xiao He."

  Another 40,000 yuan in hand, He Ming couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. He took a glance at Gao Weiguo's secretary, Miss Zhang, who was quite pretty. In the past, beautiful secretaries were the kind of existence that made He Ming feel jealous and envious. But today, he could have an equal conversation with a big boss, and to some extent, his achievements would definitely surpass those of the businessman in front of him.

  He Ming left the store after exchanging phone numbers, squeezing out of the crowded crowd, with some people cheering for him.

  He Ming smiled and waved his hand, this feeling is too cool.

  He walked out of the crowd, and Ming thought to himself that it seemed he had to get a bigger piece of raw jade, as the material here was poor and it would be difficult to produce top-quality jadeite. Making a big fortune was basically impossible.
