Although modern discoveries have been made, commercialization has not yet been achieved due to the difficulty and high cost of extraction.

If the merfolk had different and suitable mining methods than modern ones... perhaps that would be a new way to solve the modern energy demand and supply problem.

“Okay, I’ll ask the Shark King again next time he comes.” Gu Xixi replied to Professor Wei. She knew about combustible ice; the difficulty of mining and preserving it truly required absolute strength.

If not handled properly, it could easily trigger a tsunami, which is extremely terrifying.

If the merfolk have no other way, then she will pretend she doesn't know about this energy source.

Chen Yu was still touching the Space Warhorse when Gu Xixi walked over and coughed twice.

Chen Yu looked mournful. He pouted, raised his hands to his ears, and held up an index finger on each hand. He then started shaking his head and wiggling his hips at Gu Xixi, making a coquettish sound that was hard to distinguish between male and female.

"Xixi, I believe you'll definitely let me ride you, right? Men can be so cute, Xixi is so happy she bends over..."

Before he could finish speaking, the horse kicked him back three meters and he fell to the ground.

Gu Xixi felt goosebumps all over her body and a chill run down her spine. "Where did you learn these mutation methods? I'm leaving now. Get in the car and sit in the back. I won't sit with you, thank you."

Gu Xixi quickly led the horse out and handed it over to the staff for testing. After the testing was completed, the horse was sent directly back to the villa.

She then took the antiques she had prepared that morning, got in the car, and headed to Zhong Sheng Auction House.

Chen Yu followed up, "Hey, I just wanted to cheer you up. You have no idea how many meme videos I watched yesterday and how long I spent learning them."

The car quickly arrived at Zhong Sheng Auction House. When Gu Xixi arrived at the garage, Chen Yu notified his brother.

Chen Mo came down from the garage alone. He led the two of them to the top floor, to the private room that the Chen family usually used, which occupied half a floor.

The private room had a chess and card room, a reception room, a restaurant, a cinema, an open-air garden... When Gu Xixi arrived, everyone was already there and took the initiative to come forward and introduce themselves again.

Gu Xixi called out the people before they even introduced themselves, much to everyone's delight.

"Miss Gu has a good memory. I originally thought Miss Gu was a very busy person and wouldn't remember us old men. After all, we only met briefly last time."

"Hey, young people these days have such good memories, and they respect the elderly too!"

"Of course, young friend Gu, please show us all your treasures."

……

"Of course, Xixi has been talking about you guys, saying that she has always admired your appraisal skills. She has also learned a lot from my dad and is looking forward to exchanging ideas with you all."

Chen Yu acted as a messenger, while also giving Gu Xixi a meaningful look.

"We've made friends today through antiques, and everyone's in high spirits. I'll add two more nice items. But the appraisal process can't be rushed, so please go and sit down first," Chen Mo proactively steered the discussion.

Gu Xixi walked in the middle of the group and pointed to the open-air garden, "Let's go outside, the light is better there."

Everyone agreed.

The first item to be appraised was a plum vase with a rouge-colored glaze, which Chen Mo brought out.

The bottle has a narrow mouth, a round and tall body that bulges at the top and tapers at the bottom, and is entirely in a rouge color, making it quite distinctive among many porcelain pieces.

Gu Xixi glanced at the samples and, after the professors shared their insights, added her own: "Emperor Yongzheng loved monochrome glazes most; simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, and pure color is beautiful..."

"However, I prefer the Qianlong-era rouge-red and blue ground enamel origami vase. Everyone says that maximalism is too 'rustic'..."

Everyone was surprised; Gu Xixi had improved so much since the last time they met.

After the gathering, the professors and Gu Xixi had grown much closer, and everyone was still reluctant to leave.

"Young friend Gu, you have truly shamed our useless students today. Even those of us in our majors are no match for you. They should all write self-criticisms when they get back."

"Of course, young friend Gu, you must invite us again next time there is such an event, we will definitely come to participate."

"Young friend Gu..."

……

After seeing everyone off, before Gu Xixi left, Chen Mo blocked her way. "Xixi, wait a moment, I have something for you. I heard you've started learning about finance. This is some material I used in my studies, including my notes."

"The other part consists of real-world cases I've encountered in the business world over the years, along with my own analyses. I think these will be very helpful for your studies. If you need anything else, just let me know."

Chen Yu casually flipped through the documents and sneered, "Brother, you've gone too far! You actually gave away all these precious documents of yours. I wouldn't even let you look at them before. I'm your own brother."

Gu Xixi found it amusing to see the two of them being so awkward.

Chen Mo just smiled and said deliberately, "Since you are now willing to devote yourself to learning, I will arrange a famous teacher for you right away..."

"Hey, hey, who are you, sir? Why did you assign me to this role?" Chen Yu immediately interrupted, pretending not to recognize Chen Mo.

Learning about finance?

He'd rather sell antiques for a few more years than ever before he could afford to miss out on such a disheartening subject. Anyone who studies it knows how utterly hopeless it can be.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. I won't stand on ceremony. Chen Yu, stop joking around. Say goodbye to your brother; we should be going."

Gu Xixi gave Chen Yu a way out, and Chen Yu reluctantly said, "Goodbye, big brother," before following her away.

Chen Mo watched the two leave, then smiled helplessly. His assistant sighed as well, "Miss Gu is getting better and better these days."

"Yes, Xiaoyu is still so happy. The Chen family is so big, and I sometimes feel overwhelmed by it all. But it's rare for someone to be this happy in life. Let him be happy as long as he is. I'll take care of things at home."

"If Gu Xixi needs anything in the future, she must tell me no matter what I'm doing. Xiaoyu and she are good friends, they are true friends, so they belong to the Chen family, and they are my friends."

Furthermore, if Gu Xixi does well, she might be able to help Chen Yu, this good-for-nothing rich kid, in the future... consider it a good deed.

After giving his instructions, Chen Yu turned and walked into the building.

……

When Gu Xixi arrived at the military hospital, Tong Yue and the others were also at the main entrance, so they went in together.

As soon as I walked in, I encountered Xu Yue, who was running around.

When Xu Yue saw Gu Xixi, she waved excitedly and ran over to her, whispering excitedly, "Xixi, I missed you so much! But I've been so busy since I became Mr. Xu's intern."

She got Chen Lao's favor because of Gu Xixi's connections, so she had to do her best and not embarrass Gu Xixi, which is why she was quite busy.

As soon as she finished speaking, a nurse called out to her, "Xu Yue, Dr. Zhao has finished treating the external injury."
