Chapter 142:114, new intelligence refresh! This is about to achieve financial freedom!}
“A lot of gamblers out there specialize in buying this type of nearly worthless material; you can sell it to them.”
Damn!
That fast? It’s only worth 200 now?
Li Jinwen couldn’t make up his mind and looked towards her husband.
Lin Mo was actually also hesitating.
It wasn’t about the money, it’s just this kind of indecisive feeling, leaving you hanging.
At the same time, Lin Mo understood why gambling can be so addictive.
Because it’s truly thrilling when you win money, and genuinely depressing when you lose it.
“Let’s just cut it open, then,” Lin Mo eventually made her choice, saying while scanning to make the payment, “After all, it’s the first raw stone my daughter picked, just do it for fun.”
Originally, Lin Mo had wanted Lin Xiaoxiao to make the choice.
But thinking it over, she decided against it, she’s too young; she shouldn’t get too involved.
Ding.
The sound of the payment code being scanned.
Once the amount was confirmed to be correct, the Jade Carving Master sprang into action again, just like before, marking a line on the raw stone and then cutting along the line.
“Rise! Rise!! Rise!!!!”
Li Jinwen and Lin Xiaoxiao both clenched their fists, excitedly chanting in a low voice.
It was but a moment.
The raw stone was split open, and inside was a green piece about 3 centimeters in size.
The Jade Carving Master looked it over twice and said with a smile, “Congratulations, this cut is a winner, although the quality is a bit mottled, you can sell it for around 3000 yuan without a problem.”
Huh?
We made a profit?
For real?
Lin Xiaoxiao instantly jumped up excitedly, exclaiming, “Daddy is amazing, Daddy is the best!!!”
Li Jinwen too, excitedly hugged Lin Mo’s cheek, giving her a fierce kiss.
Inside, Lin Mo also felt a surge of excitement.
Immediately, she asked the Jade Carving Master, “Master, if I don’t sell this, what can I do with this stone?”
Lin Mo definitely wouldn’t sell a raw stone the whole family had a hand in opening.
Forget 3000, not even for 30,000.
Keeping it as a keepsake meant a lot.
The Jade Carving Master looked at the piece he was holding, thought for a while, and said, “Four ring faces should be no problem, or a slightly smaller amulet to hang on nothing in particular. It would be just right for your daughter to wear.”
Lin Mo asked, “Xiaoxiao, do you want to make a pendant out of this stone?”
“Yes! Ido!” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.
At that moment, the Jade Carving Master added, “Boss, we also process raw stones here, with fair prices. You can add this WeChat, then choose a style, and after the processing fee is confirmed, we can mail it to your specified location once it’s done.”
It must be said,
These days, the one-stop shopping experience at major attractions is very well thought-out,
As long as you are willing to spend money, basically anything you can think of, or can’t think of, they’ve already thought of it for you.
Lin Mo did her homework on the market before coming, so she knew there wouldn’t be any big problems.
And for just 3000 yuan, they wouldn’t mess with her.
“Sure, then I’ll leave it to you guys.”
Lin Mo scanned the QR code, added the other party’s WeChat, also took several photos of the raw stone, and afterward, the Jade Carving Master gave her a receipt.
With everything in hand, the family of three continued to browse the market.
The market was just too big, and as dusk neared, they had covered less than half of the area; it was proving to be even bigger than the ancient town they had visited before.
Later on, they tried opening two more raw stones, but the results were disastrous; they were all worthless.
However, these little mishaps didn’t dampen the family’s cheerful mood.
When they grew tired from walking, they drove to West Lake, admired the night view of the West Lake, and tasted the legendary West Lake Vinegar Fish.
The result… let’s just say that Yuhang truly lives up to its reputation as a culinary wasteland.
It tasted awful.
On the way back, the family suggested stopping by a snack shop to grab some food, fearing they might get hungry later.
By the time they got back to the hotel, it was almost midnight.
All three were exhausted, Lin Xiaoxiao had fallen asleep on the way home, and Lin Mo had to carry her from the parking lot back to the hotel.
The room was a suite, with one living room and two bedrooms.
The price was of course not cheap, but Zhang Yihua had booked it in advance for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo knew that Zhang Yihua was short on money right now, having poured everything into the “Divine Enthronement” animation, and she had wanted to switch to a cheaper room, as the three of them weren’t particularly fussy, but Zhang Yihua was adamantly opposed.
Helpless and not wanting to dismiss Zhang Yihua’s kindness,
“Phew…”
Carrying Lin Xiaoxiao all that way, although she was on the thin side, she was still ten years old and not light. Lin Mo felt so tired, as if her whole body was falling apart, and slumped exhaustedly on the sofa.
She sighed, “I haven’t been doing construction work these past few months, and my physical strength isn’t what it used to be!”
As for Lin Xiaoxiao, the little imp woke right up upon returning to the hotel; Lin Mo suspected it was deliberate!
Soon after, Li Jinwen took Lin Xiaoxiao to take a bath.
Lin Mo stretched lazily, not wanting to move anymore. Just as she was about to pick out a style for the amulet on her phone, the system notification rang in her mind.
[Ding.]
[Today’s information has been refreshed. I
“Oh? The information has arrived?!”
“I spent the whole afternoon at the antique market today; please don’t disappoint me!”
Lin Mo, filled with anticipation, began to read through today’s new information.
