As the incident continued to spread, more and more people began to pay attention to this strange rock and Grandpa Wei’s bizarre experience.

People speculated about the origin and purpose of this strange stone. Some said it might be a precious treasure that had never been discovered and had immeasurable value.

Some people were also worried that there were unknown dangers hidden there that might bring disaster to the surrounding residents. For a time, all kinds of rumors spread.

……

"Oh! Where can I find the news?"

Xiaosong muttered to himself as he wandered aimlessly on the busy street.

His eyes were confused and helpless, as if he had lost his sense of direction.

Just a few days ago, most of the photos he took were deleted by Xinnan, Dongshan and others, which made Xiaosong, who was originally full of enthusiasm, become discouraged and distracted.

In the following days, no matter how hard Xiaosong tried or how far he ran around, he still got nothing.

At this moment, the editor of the newspaper began to urge him to submit his manuscript:

"Where's the mutant beast?"

"Where's the Armor Hero?"

"Find me something useful!"

These voices lingered in Xiaosong's ears like a spell, making him feel more stressed.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Xiaosong couldn't help but lament the fickleness and mockery of fate.

"Hey! Have you ever heard of that magical glowing stone in Mr. Wei's house..."

Just as Xiaosong was walking on the side of the road, he suddenly heard a group of middle-aged women chatting about something.

His attention was immediately drawn to it, and he rushed over to find out what was going on.

After learning the address, Xiaosong rushed to No. 18 Wanshou Road without stopping.

After arriving at his destination, he walked straight to a nearby store and bought a bottle of mineral water to quench his thirst.

Then, his eyes fell on an item placed next to the store owner.

"Grandpa, your stone looks very special." Xiaosong pointed at the stone curiously and said to the boss.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei smiled slightly and replied:

"That's right! It's because it's so special that I've kept it here."

"Hmm... it's really beautiful! It's really very beautiful..."

Xiaosong looked at the stone and nodded repeatedly to show his appreciation.

Afterwards, Xiaosong continued to stare at the stone without blinking, as if he was under a spell.

The stone as a whole presents a light and soft yellow tone, as if it had been gently caressed by the sun.

Its surface is covered with dense and strange textures of various shapes, like a series of carefully painted mysterious scrolls.

These textures are intricate, some look like winding rivers, some look like floating clouds, and some look like ancient and mysterious runes, which make people fall in love with them.

At this moment, Xiaosong's eyes were shining with excitement and excitement, and he couldn't wait to uncover the secret hidden behind the stone.

He remembered that he seemed to have seen something similar in the ERP research laboratory, but it did not attract much attention at the time.

However, at this moment, facing the mysterious stone in front of him, Xiaosong finally couldn't suppress his inner curiosity and desire.

He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask his boss:

"By the way, boss, are you planning to sell this stone?" There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as if he was afraid of missing out on some important opportunity.

When the boss heard Xiaosong's question, he was stunned at first, then frowned slightly, and glanced back and forth between Shi Tou and Xiaosong.

His eyes were full of doubt, as if he couldn't believe what he heard. Then, he asked back in an incredulous tone:

"Are you sure you want to buy this stone?" His voice clearly revealed his surprise at the request.

Although this stone has a peculiar shape and is different from other common stones, it does not look special from the outside and does not look like a rare treasure or a priceless treasure!

The boss really couldn't understand why anyone would be interested in such an ordinary stone and even spend money to buy it.

However, facing the boss's question, Xiaosong nodded without hesitation and replied:

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll buy it!" There was a firm light flashing in his eyes, revealing his determination to get this stone.

This determination surprised the boss and he began to re-examine the stone.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. With many years of business experience, the store owner keenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

He suddenly realized that this seemingly ordinary stone in his hand might hide some unknown secrets or potential great value.

Perhaps there is an extraordinary historical story behind it, or perhaps it has some special use or attribute.

Thinking of this, the boss will certainly not sell it easily!

So the boss shook his head decisively and rejected Xiaosong's request: "No, this stone is not for sale."

Seeing this, Xiaosong could only sigh helplessly, his heart filled with regret and loss.

Despite this, he quickly adjusted his mindset - since he couldn't buy the stone, he might as well change his thinking!

After all, the news about this mysterious stone is also very valuable. Perhaps we can attract people's attention and curiosity by making some related news...

When Xiaosong thought of this, he couldn't help but reveal a sly smile, and then he said:

"That's right, boss. I'm really interested in your stone." As he spoke, he stared at the stone in front of him with a fiery gaze, as if he could see through it a huge mystery hidden deep inside.

"Oh? Why are you so interested in a stone?" the boss asked curiously.

"Because I'm a journalist, my professional sensitivity tells me that there is a high possibility that there are some interesting stories hidden behind this stone, or it has some unique value."

"If we can dig out this information and spread it with the help of our newspaper, so that more people know about it, it will surely attract widespread attention and strong interest."

Xiaosong became more and more excited as he spoke, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"I see... In that case, then fine, do whatever you want!"

The boss waved his hand generously and agreed readily.

"Great! Thank you for your support!" Xiaosong was overjoyed. He knew that this opportunity was rare. If he could successfully report on this stone, it might bring him unexpected gains.

Being able to get free publicity in the newspaper is a good thing for anyone. The boss was secretly glad that he did not refuse this proposal.

"Then would you please tell me how you got this stone?" the reporter continued to ask.

"Of course!" The boss nodded, and then fell into deep thought, as if recalling the past. After a while, he slowly said:

"I actually found this stone by accident when I was working on a construction site and moving bricks when I was young."

"At that time, I felt that it was different from ordinary stones. So... I took it home and kept it as a collection."

After listening to the boss's story, Xiaosong became more curious about the stone.

He picked up the camera and took several photos of the stone as backup data.

After that, he thanked the boss and hurriedly left the store and ran towards the newspaper office...
