The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1705 - 1704: Purple Stone

"I didn't ask, but based on past experience, it's probably around twenty pieces, at most twenty. I've never heard of more than twenty pieces being sold. If you see something you like, act quickly, or you might regret it when they're gone."Shu Yi's eyes were always on the stage, making him seem a bit unfocused when talking to Tang Rao.

"Oh, right, I remembered something. Besides the bigger shipments, there was a batch of small goods. Due to their low output rate, not many people paid attention to them. These small goods will be sold at a low price to market people, like the things you've bought these days. If you're interested, you can hold off until the end."

The more others overlooked something, the more Tang Rao liked to take a closer look. What others don't want, he prefers to go for unexpected gains. Shu Yi's words undoubtedly opened a new, bright avenue for Tang Rao.

"Why am I not interested in the big goods in front, but have expectations for the small goods behind?"

Tang Rao spoke from the heart, and his idea scared Shu Yi quite a bit.

"Do you even understand the quality of the small goods behind? You've visited so many stores and only bought a little bit, those goods accumulated over years. My advice is to focus on the big goods first, and only consider the small goods if the big ones aren't of good quality."

Shu Yi truly treated Tang Rao as a brother, sharing these heartfelt words with him. When it came to making money, he relied on fate. While he couldn't tell the good from the bad in the big goods, those around him could see clearly, making him happy when Tang Rao succeeded.

"I was just casually mentioning it, don't be too nervous."

Tang Rao was merely speaking offhand, and look how nervous it made Shu Yi?

Shu Yi uttered an 'ah,' questioning if he was too gullible for believing everything he heard?

"I wish I weren't so nervous; it's just that what you said was too alarming."

Tang Rao made a hush gesture to Shu Yi because the third stone was popping up from the ground.

The first stone gambled up, the second stone gambled down, and the third stone's appearance was similar to the second. Those who were full of confidence suddenly stopped in their tracks after seeing the second stone gamble down.

"This is the third stone; I don't need to say much about its appearance. This stone was mined together with the first stone, and the output rate is quite high. The starting bid is ten thousand Purple Crystal."

Still ten thousand Purple Crystal. When the display reappeared in every cave, this time, the bidders were directly calm.

Surprisingly, no one bid?

Tang Rao focused his gaze on Little Hedgehog, who was still enjoying the snacks Tang Rao had given earlier. Sensing a hint of an unfriendly gaze, it dropped the snack in its hand and obediently understood Tang Rao's mind, requiring no direction. After glancing at the stone on flat ground, Little Hedgehog quickly said to Tang Rao, "It's all Purple Crystal; bidding will surely earn a profit."

All Purple Crystal?

Only Tang Rao could understand Little Hedgehog's words, and with no one else bidding, Tang Rao placed a bid.

Ten thousand and one Purple Crystal.

Only added one Purple Crystal?

Even if there's no requirement on how much to increase each time, as someone qualified to participate in such an affluent activity, your bid needs to look decent, right? How good can adding just one Purple Crystal look?

"Ten thousand and one Purple Crystal? Who bid this? If you're broke, why wait for goods to come out, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Bidding isn't scary; it's offering the wrong price that's terrifying. However, between each cave is no communication, except knowing the bid situation via monitors. He had no idea he was downgraded to the ground.

"Ten thousand and one Purple Crystal, first call."

"Ten thousand and one Purple Crystal, second call."

"Ten thousand and one Purple Crystal, third call."

An ethereal voice drifted in the air, eventually settling with a hammer. This stone belonged to Tang Rao.

No congratulations, no curiosity. Those present generally held a mocking attitude toward Tang Rao, even having planned out the sarcastic things to say to him once the goods revealed.

"Do you need the goods opened?"

The Magic Artifact was beside him, and since Tang Rao had already paid the Purple Crystal, with just one word, it would immediately cut the stone.

Just as Shu Yi thought Tang Rao would keep a low profile and open the goods once returning, Tang Rao's voice rang crisp and clear: "Open!"

The Magic Artifact flew swiftly in the air, soon splitting the stone into two halves. The rich purple color appeared before Tang Rao and others.

"It gambled up?"

"It gambled up!"

"Oh my, it's full purple; this isn't just gambling up; it's a huge gain! The ten thousand Purple Crystal wasn't wasted; it's a fortune!"

Tang Rao had long known it would be this result, remaining calm as if he wasn't the one who bought the stone.

"Brother, did you already know it would gamble up, and by a lot?"

The stone Tang Rao gambled on was even larger than the second one and was full purple; this profit was by no means ordinary.

"Yeah, if it wasn't going to gamble up, why would I spend so much to buy the stone?"

His money wasn't earned by firearms; it was intended to align with the good life forged with toil.

"No wonder, I was just saying, how come you quietly bought the stone without even checking its texture or appearance."

Tang Rao played this for the thrill, and with the Golden Stone Little Hedgehog, why worry about losing?

"Now that I've bought it, if you see something you like, you can ask me."

Tang Rao was already satisfied after buying a fully purple stone, and if Shu Yi found a stone he liked, Tang Rao wouldn't mind helping him look, and guaranteed he wouldn't compete with him.

Shu Yi was deeply grateful to Tang Rao. As long as Tang Rao was willing to lend a small helping hand here, Shu Yi could earn quite a sum.

"You're truly my good brother; I'm so moved."

In their cave, Shu Yi and Tang Rao shared a profound brotherhood; others in different caves weren't as harmonious.

Hai Lai came for the Purple Crystal Stone; the first stone was missed due to a conflict with Tang Rao outside, thus missing the bidding time on the second stone due to competition and personal feelings, he chose to give up midway. The third stone, alas, saying more is just tears. Assuming the third looked similar to the second, he straight-up gave up. After seeing Tang Rao win the stone, he wanted to watch Tang Rao's jokes, but the outcome of the stone cut by the Magic Artifact entirely contradicted his expectations. It was like preparing to slap someone only to be unexpectedly slapped instead.
