A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 5 Finding a Toilet as a Treasure

Wu Cheng was completely unaware of the potential dangers around him.

He is still obsessed with finding bargains.

After he found a blue-and-white porcelain television set and an ancient painting of Xiao He chasing Han Xin on a bicycle under the moon, most of the people who had followed Wu Cheng had already dispersed.

They had a preliminary judgment in their minds: Wu Cheng's discovery of the priceless Four-Unusual Monkey was simply a stroke of incredible luck.

They didn't know that Wu Cheng was actually quite nervous, after all, he also wanted to put on a good show in front of others. However, Jin Wanliang had a special hobby. He wasn't very interested in collecting antiques, but rather liked things that combined the old and the new, things that were neither too Western nor too rustic.

If it weren't for the fact that these items could be exchanged for gold ingots, Wu Cheng would never have even glanced at them.

It's obviously a knock-off; the knock-off is so bad it's an eyesore.

……

Also on the antique street, Ma Yue was browsing the stalls with Lu Shao.

Lu Shao had mentioned that the Gu family, one of the four great families of Tianlongqiu, would be holding a treasure-fighting competition.

This treasure-hunting competition was actually set up by Gu Rulong, the patriarch of the Gu family, to test the taste of the younger generation.

If I could win a prize in the treasure-hunting competition, or even just get a compliment from Grandpa Gu Rulong, my business in Longqiu would go smoothly from now on.

After all, Old Master Gu has the power and influence to back it up.

Although Lu Shao's family is considered to have some money, it's nothing compared to the Gu family. The only connection between the Lu family and the Gu family is that Lu Shao's younger sister, Lu Dongxuan, is best friends with the Gu family's eldest daughter.

There's another point that Lu Shao didn't tell Ma Yue: the reason he sought out Ma Yue was because she looked somewhat like Miss Gu, and also liked cats just like her.

Therefore, Lu Shao brought Ma Yue to the antique street, intending to look for treasures.

As soon as I walked down the street, I heard a lot of people shouting that someone had found a great bargain, buying something for 10,000 yuan and reselling it for 3 million yuan.

Some people even said that the person who claimed to have three million should be Old Master Gu from the Gu family.

They even said that Grandpa Gu praised that person's excellent judgment.

Now Lu Shao couldn't hold back any longer. He knew how high Old Master Gu's standards were. Even a woman as outstanding as Miss Gu, who was like the bright moon in the sky, rarely received praise from Old Master Gu.

The fact that Grandpa Gu now approves of the person who found the bargain only proves that this person is quite capable.

No, I must do everything I can to get to know the person who stole the treasure for this treasure-hunting competition.

He asked several people in a row, and after rushing as fast as he could, he finally arrived at Wu Cheng's stall with their guidance.

Ma Yue was wearing a pair of very high heels today. This antique street is paved with long strips of bluestone, and it's easy to twist your ankle if you're just walking normally, let alone running like this.

When she arrived at the location, both of her feet were twisted and her ankles were swollen, but she dared not cry out in pain or complain, because she knew that this matter was very important to Young Master Lu.

If she interrupted Young Master Lu at this moment, he would definitely dump her.

She endured the pain and limped behind Lu Shao.

Lu Shao parted the crowd and asked loudly, "Where is that master who just picked up the bargain? I truly admire you and would like to become your apprentice."

His shout drew everyone's attention to Wu Cheng.

Although Lu Shao said he had beaten Wu Cheng, he hadn't even looked at Wu Cheng properly at the time, so even if he had beaten him, he wouldn't have recognized him.

He followed everyone's gaze and found Wu Cheng, and immediately bowed deeply to him.

Wu Cheng was picking out counterfeit goods for Jin Wanliang when he turned around and saw Young Master Lu.

Young Master Lu didn't recognize him, but he did. Seeing Young Master Lu's respectful manner, Wu Cheng couldn't help but smile.

When Ma Yue saw that Lu Shao was being so respectful to Wu Cheng, she thought Lu Shao had mistaken someone for someone else, and quickly tugged at Lu Shao's clothes, intending to tell him what had happened.

Lu Shao impatiently shook her off and lowered his head even further.

"You want to learn how to find bargains from me?" Wu Cheng asked.

"Indeed, please teach me, Master."

Wu Cheng chuckled and said, "Teaching you isn't out of the question, but what benefits could you possibly bring me?"

When Lu Shao heard that Wu Cheng wanted benefits, he was overjoyed.

His family is in business; three generations of his family have been in business, accumulating assets worth tens of millions.

Therefore, he is very business-savvy. He knows that if someone asks him for benefits, it means that the matter is negotiable, and as long as he can offer benefits, the deal is done.

"Master, whatever you desire, I will do my best to fulfill it."

Wu Cheng stroked his chin and said, "Really? I don't like much else, but I do like collecting things related to cats. I think that girl's necklace is quite nice."

Without saying a word, Lu Shao snatched the cat paw pendant from Ma Yue's neck and presented it with both hands, saying, "Master, please accept it."

Wu Cheng exchanged the cat paw pendant for three gold ingots, which was a good deal.

Ma Yue protested, "Young Master Lu, he..."

Wu Cheng, afraid that Ma Yue would call out his name, quickly interrupted with a snort: "Shut up, bringing a shady character with you to the antique street. You think you can find a bargain? That would be a miracle."

When Lu Shao heard Wu Cheng say this, he thought there was such a thing as a particular way of dealing with antiques. He turned to Ma Yue and said, "You should go back first. Don't disturb my studies."

Ma Yue's face contorted with rage. She pointed at Wu Cheng and shouted, "You... Wu Cheng, you liar! It's one thing for you to lie to me, but you're lying to Young Master Lu here!"

Wu Cheng felt slightly embarrassed when his name was called out.

However, he quickly calmed down.

After all, it was Young Master Lu who needed his help, and he truly was a master of finding bargains. Everyone on this antique street could testify to that.

Lu Shao also realized that the guy he was being so respectful to was actually the poor kid whose head he had opened with the cat paw cup back then.

This poor kid was clearly toying with him, and he clenched his fists, ready to come over and punch Wu Cheng.

With his years of martial arts training, defeating Wu Cheng would be a piece of cake.

But just as he was about to throw a punch, a burly man dressed in black grabbed his fist and said coldly, "Fighting is prohibited on Antique Street. Anyone who dares to disobey will be beaten to death."

Lu Shao reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Wu Cheng replied, "Don't think I'm playing you for a fool. I'm the one who got a great deal today."

"If you really want to learn, I'll sincerely pick one for you, but you have to agree to one condition."

Lu Shao was preoccupied with participating in the treasure-hunting competition, and upon hearing Wu Cheng's words, he immediately replied, "Tell me, as long as I can do it..."

"You can definitely do it."

Wu Cheng pointed at Ma Yue and said, "That bitch, I want you to dump her right now."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Shao slapped Ma Yue across the face: "I've wanted to dump this bitch for a long time."

Ma Yue was stunned by the blow, covered her face in confusion, and then burst into tears.

She cried out, "Young Master Lu, please don't leave me..."

Lu Shao glanced away in disgust.

Ma Yue looked at Wu Cheng again, her eyes filled with resentment, but Wu Cheng ignored her and said to Lu Shao, "There is something in this stall that is not bad and worth buying."

“But if I tell you which one it is, the stall owner will realize it,” Wu Cheng said in a low voice, but many people could still hear him. “So I have a solution for you. Pick a few counterfeit items that don’t look like the real thing, pick a few similar ones, and then slip one of these genuine items in among them.”

When Lu Shao heard Wu Cheng's suggestion, he felt a little jealous of Wu Cheng. It was indeed a good idea. No wonder this kid was able to find a bargain. His cleverness was something that no one else could learn.

He secretly thought to himself that once Wu Cheng helped him find a bargain, he would turn around and crush him. This poor bastard's skills were all prepared for him; he only asked him for help because he respected him.

If we find something good this time, and show it off in front of Grandpa Gu, it will be beneficial for everything we do in the future.

He quickly asked Wu Cheng, "That authentic one is..."

This time, Wu Cheng only told him: "That toilet is definitely a treasure. You can take it down and make three or five times its value as easily as playing with it."
