Chapter 55: The Stone-Cutting Begins
The leaders were a boy and a girl who looked very similar.
They were surrounded by other children their age and bodyguards.
The two looked at them together. The girl's eyes were full of mockery, while the boy crossed his arms and remained silent, appearing detached.
The girl was the one who just spoke.
"Ju Zhiyao! What are you doing here!" Lan Xiyu's tone was equally unpleasant.
"I'm here to go shopping. This is a shopping mall, not a palace. Do I need your permission to come here?" Seeing Lan Xiyu's angry expression, the girl opposite was clearly in a good mood. She ran and jumped to their side and looked curiously at the rough stones they bought.
"Wow, Lan Xiyu, you've suddenly become rich! How did you get so much money all of a sudden? These rough stones must be worth hundreds of millions!" Ju Zhiyao rudely reached out to put her arm around Lan Xiyu's shoulder, only to be pushed away by her.
"Most of them belong to my cousin, not me."
"Let me introduce you to my aunt's daughter, Jin Wuyou, the eldest daughter of the Jin family."
“Wuyou, she is my uncle’s daughter, Ju Zhiyao, and the one who is not speaking is her twin brother, Ju Zhiyue.”
Upon hearing Lan Xiyu's words, Ju Zhiyao and Ju Zhiyue turned to look at her at the same time.
"Hello," Jin Wuyou greeted first.
"hello."
Ju Zhiyao looked Jin Wuyou up and down with curiosity, then whispered in Lan Xiyu's ear, "The legendary SSS-level super awakener? She does look more pleasing to the eye than Jin Wushuang. She's the darling of the royal family and the Jin family. How come you brought her out alone? Aren't you afraid of getting a beating from your aunt when you get home?"
"My mom asked me to bring her out for a walk, can you please stop bothering me?" Lan Xiyu pushed the person away again, unable to bear it any longer.
But Ju Zhiyao completely ignored her, turned to Jin Wuyou, and reminded her, "Sister Wuyou, gambling on stones is just something to play around with. If you buy too much, you might lose everything."
"Thank you for the reminder, but these are my carefully selected choices, and many unnecessary ones have been eliminated."
She had read about this stone gambling shop before. The shop belonged to the Jin family, but the stones inside came from various jewelry merchants. Quite a few people had found good gemstones in it. Now that she had the three most powerful rough stones in the entire shop, she shouldn't lose everything.
Ju Zhiyao nodded. She had already reminded them that with the wealth of the Jin family and the royal family, such pocket money was reasonable.
"Come on, let's go see the stone cutting. I can't wait to see what your stone will yield." Ju Zhiyao grabbed Lan Xiyu and pulled her to the second floor of this building.
There are private rooms on the second floor for these VIPs to view the stone cutting process.
The central business district of Huangdu Star can be said to be the most prosperous place in the entire empire. People who can enter and leave here must have personal assets of over 100 million or family assets of over 100 million.
The area below the stone-cutting site was crowded with wealthy onlookers and jewelers. Some hoped their stones would yield treasures and fetch high prices, while others hoped to buy the good gems as soon as they were found.
This exchange is so big; looking down from the second-floor cubicle, you can see thousands of stone-cutting points alone.
"Please note that VIP stone-cutting point number 001 is now open, please be aware..." This voice echoed throughout the entire mall.
"Wow, which rich and powerful person has come to gamble on jade? Let's go and see what's going on."
When the sound rang out, Jin Wuyou hadn't entered the private room yet. She looked up at the sequence of private rooms and asked Ju Zhiyue beside her curiously, "Does every private room on the second floor make this sound when you go in?"
Ju Zhiyue shook his head, giving an answer that was both unexpected and reasonable.
"Of course not. hope Yu has been tricked by Ju Zhiyao again. Of course, you are also among those who have been tricked."
"That voice just now was tantamount to a formal declaration of war against the stone buyers in this mall. Next, someone will come to challenge you to a stone gambling competition, and many people will come to watch."
Upon hearing Ju Zhiyue's explanation, Jin Wuyou was somewhat dumbfounded.
Shouldn't they have a pretty good relationship with Lan Xiyu? How come they turned around and betrayed Lan Xiyu?
"You don't need to worry. It's only Lan Xiyu who will be embarrassed. After all, you're still young, and no one else will notice you."
Ju Zhiyue opened the door to the private room, and a vase shattered with a crash at their feet.
Lan Xiyu and Ju Zhiyao, one carrying a chair and the other wielding a laser scimitar, started fighting in the private room.
"Ju Zhiyao!! I'll f*** you!" Lan Xiyu slammed the chair in her hand down, cursing him with all her might.
"Lan Xiyu, are you out of your mind?! You son of a bitch!"
Ju Zhiyao cleaved the flying chair in two with a single stroke, and returned the favor just as ruthlessly.
The two men struggled with each other.
The entire private room was a mess.
Jin Wuyou looked at Ju Zhiyue, thinking he would stop him.
But his face showed absolutely no other expression as he calmly stepped inside.
"Aren't you going to stop them?"
"Should I stop them and let them beat me up? You don't need to worry about it, it'll be over in a bit, come sit down."
Ju Zhiyue thoughtfully helped her get a stool.
As soon as Jin Wuyou sat down, the lights outside came on, and the floor beneath him spun open from the middle.
The impeccably clean stone-cutting machine rises up, and professionals immediately take their positions.
"Everyone, the No. 001 stone-cutting point is about to open. The price range for the first rough stone is over 20 million star coins. Those who are interested in comparing stones, please be prepared."
The sound rang out, and the two fighters separated.
"I'll deal with you after I've recovered from my illness."
Lan Xiyu wanted nothing more than to bite the other party to death immediately. This matter concerned Xing's own reputation, and she couldn't afford to be indifferent to it.
"Alright, alright, I can at least watch the show in peace."
The two stopped and stood together in front of the glass railing.
On the opposite screen, countless names appeared one after another from the moment the notification sound was heard.
"They're so enthusiastic, what benefits will they get if they win?" Jin Wuyou was also curious.
"Benefits? Without issuing a direct challenge, they won't gain anything except for a slightly better appearance."
Ju Zhiyao explained in a good mood.
Jin Wuyou instantly understood. According to the mall's rules, their ability to use VIP box 001 and the stone-cutting platform meant they must be extraordinary individuals.
Winning against them would certainly make him famous throughout the industry and even the entire empire.
No one unilaterally issued a challenge, nor did they set any conditions for winning or losing. It was just a matter of participating. Losing wouldn't cause any loss, but if you accidentally won, you'd make a fortune.
These people all want to climb up by stepping on them.
Jin Wuyou didn't care; these people might even broaden her horizons.
But Lan Xiyu was quite uneasy.
She looked at the constantly changing list, feeling as if she had thorns growing on her buttocks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our first rough stone is about to be used."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a rock the size of an adult's head was brought onto the stage.
This one belongs to Jin Wuyou.
The person on the stage calmly and gracefully started the machine under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
