Chapter 003: Everything You Could Ever Want!
Gu Keqing, the epitome of the pure yet alluring older sister, lightly kissed Lin Lang's lips, causing his heart to pound as he opened his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, sparks of love flew like lightning.
"Keqing Sis's taste is like sweet peach, hehe..."
Gu Keqing pursed her lips and smiled, "That's the taste of my lip gloss, A Lang, do you like me?"
"Yes!" Lin Lang nodded vigorously.
"Then how much do you like Sis?"
"I like Sis very, very much!"
"Then do you like the Honey Badger from Africa, or do you like Sis?"
"I like the Honey Badger from Africa!"
"Ah~ no!"
"It's Sis! I'm so nervous I'm a little incoherent, hehe..."
AI Generated Gu Keqing Beauty Picture
Gu Keqing asked with affectionate eyes, "Then why do you like me?"
Lin Lang replied sweetly, "Keqing Sis's enchanting beauty is the pinnacle of the pure yet alluring older sister. There are thousands upon thousands of beautiful women in the world, but I only like you, Sis."
"Hehe..." Gu Keqing smiled charmingly.
Immediately after, Lin Lang, feigning mystery, said, "Sis, I have a slight understanding of Zhouyi Metaphysics. I can read palms and faces. Do you want a divination?"
"Okay!"
"Then, you can start by reading my face, Sis." Gu Keqing smiled gracefully.
"Keqing Sis's face, why does it look like she hasn't had a man's nourishment for a long time? It seems she spends every night alone in an empty room?!"
"No way?"
"Sis doesn't have a man's nourishment, and you, A Lang, can even tell that?"
Lin Lang spoke nonsense with a straight face, "Women who have long been deprived of love and a man's nourishment, their souls are like cracked earth, longing for the rain and dew of love to nourish them."
"The face reflects the heart."
"Through your face, I, your younger brother, can tell that Keqing Sis's marriage is merely a facade, as if having a husband or not makes no difference."
"Empty, lonely, and cold."
"Life is very depressing, and naturally, your face appears dull and lifeless."
Gu Keqing retorted stubbornly, "No, it's not!"
"Hmph~ Sis, I am naturally beautiful, with a graceful, full, and charming figure. How could I not have a man's nourishment?!"
Lin Lang, however, took Gu Keqing's fair and soft hand and said in a feigned manner, "Then let your younger brother read your palm, and we'll know if you're lying, or if you've had a man's nourishment."
"Hehe..."
Gu Keqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "A Lang, I think you can't read palms at all. You're just too embarrassed to hold my hand, so you're making an excuse."
"Not so!"
"Keqing Sis, don't underestimate me. By reading your palm and analyzing your love line, your younger brother can divine your temperament, peach blossom luck, and marriage."
Gu Keqing smiled sweetly, "Okay, okay, okay!"
"Sis won't underestimate you. Then I'll let you read my palm. Let's see if you can make sense of it?!"
Lin Lang touched Gu Keqing's slender hand, looking at her palm lines with a serious expression.
"Tsk tsk..."
"Sis's love line clearly indicates a second marriage."
"Currently, either the two of you are living separately, or you're sleeping in separate rooms and beds. Your marriage has long been in name only."
"Oh... A Lang, you're actually quite accurate~"
Lin Lang continued to show off, "Through Keqing Sis's palm lines, I, your younger brother, can assert that within the confines of your marriage, although you live in luxury and lack nothing materially, you are very unfortunate emotionally and physically."
"You truly evoke my pity, and it makes your younger brother's heart ache so much!"
Gu Keqing exclaimed, "A Lang, you're too amazing! You can even tell that?!"
"What's even more bizarre is, Sis, you're clearly married and have a husband, so why are you still a virgin?"
Gu Keqing's face instantly flushed upon hearing this, and she asked in utter astonishment, "A Lang, can you even tell that Sis is still a virgin?"
"Mm." Lin Lang nodded.
Gu Keqing said awkwardly, "Is it embarrassing that Sis is still a virgin?"
Lin Lang chuckled, "It seems Sis, you're going to benefit me!"
"You're annoying!" Gu Keqing smiled shyly.
Lin Lang took Gu Keqing's warm hand and raised an eyebrow, "From your palm lines, I can also see that Sis will encounter a destined romance this year, one that you can't avoid~"
"Hehe..."
"A Lang, are you trying to say that the man Sis is destined to fall for is you?"
Lin Lang replied with feigned affection, "Keqing Sis, let me warm and redeem you!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Keqing was moved. She took an Audi A6 car key from her limited edition LV handbag and generously placed it in Lin Lang's hand.
"Keqing Sis, what does this mean?"
Gu Keqing replied charmingly and tenderly, "A Lang, Sis's body is not convenient for you today. This Audi A6 is a token of our love from Sis to you. For the rest of our lives, Sis will dote on you!"
"Keqing Sis, are you this generous?"
"An Audi A6 is just a mere few hundred thousand chinese yuan, which isn't even half of Sis's monthly allowance!"
"Good boy! Take it, A Lang, you don't need to take it to heart~"
"Okay, Keqing Sis!"
"Since I was young, I've had a weak stomach, and the doctor said I'm suitable for being a kept man, so I'll gladly accept."
Gu Keqing said gently, "A Lang, you've accepted the car Sis gave you. You understand our relationship from now on, right?!"
"Kiss..."
Lin Lang kissed Gu Keqing's beautiful face, which was considered an implicit answer.
Gu Keqing intimately held Lin Lang's arm, leaning on him like a small bird, and said, "A Lang, accompany me to Jing'an Temple Jewelry and Antiques City."
"Keqing Sis, what are you going to the antiques city for?"
"My mother's birthday is next week. She's a devout Buddhist, and I want to buy an antique Guanyin statue as a birthday gift for her."
Lin Lang replied, "It just so happens that I also want to go to the antiques city to find some bargains and make a small fortune."
"A Lang, besides having a slight understanding of Zhouyi Metaphysics, can you also appraise antiques?!"
"Keqing Sis, I know many things!"
"The Lin Lang you see is just the tip of the iceberg. Once we get to Jing'an Temple Jewelry and Antiques City, you'll discover my appraisal skills."
"A Lang, you're just boasting!"
"If you had appraisal skills, your pockets wouldn't be emptier than your face, and you wouldn't be unable to pay rent."
"Uh..." Lin Lang gave an awkward laugh.
Gu Keqing stood up and said, "Let's go now!"
Lin Lang replied with one word, "Okay!"
Lin Lang drove the black Audi A6, carrying the charming Gu Keqing, chatting and laughing all the way, until they arrived at Shanghai's Jing'an Temple Jewelry and Antiques City.
Gu Keqing, with her graceful and full figure, was seen wearing a tight, short cheongsam that hugged her hips, and large, luxurious black brand sunglasses. She intimately held Lin Lang's arm as they browsed the antiques city.
Jing'an Temple Jewelry and Antiques City is one of Shanghai's largest antique trading markets.
Although it wasn't the weekend, the antique market was still crowded with people, and various stalls were dazzling, truly having everything imaginable.
One could see various stamps and calligraphy, vases and jars, bowls and dishes, ancient Chinese and foreign coins, knives, bows, swords, and crossbows, lacquerware and porcelain, jade and agate, gold and silver lacquerware, old books and strange stones, bone carvings and wood carvings, Buddha statues and incense burners, redwood furniture—in short, there was nothing you couldn't imagine, and nothing you couldn't see.
Because it was the millennium, the internet economy was not yet so developed.
The antique and second-hand market became a popular destination for tourists and local citizens for daily shopping and recreation.
Most people who came to the antique market harbored the desire to find a bargain.
The antique market is very deep, and finding a bargain is not easy. Many times, you want to find a bargain, but others are using fakes to swindle you.
Lin Lang was no exception, harboring the thought of finding a bargain, he entered the antique market with Gu Keqing.
As soon as he entered Jing'an Temple Jewelry and Antiques City, wherever his gaze fell, various colors and countless antique appraisal entry prompt messages would pop up on the virtual system screen in front of him.
Ding...
Ding...
Ding...
...
Lin Lang looked at the antique stalls, and on the virtual system screen in front of him, countless appraisal prompt entry messages for all the items on the antique stalls instantly popped up, floating before his eyes. Because of the different colors, Lin Lang felt a bit dazzled.
【Red Appraisal Prompt Entry】: Counterfeit.
【Yellow Appraisal Prompt Entry】: Modern craft, the higher the value, the yellower the color.
【Blue Appraisal Prompt Entry】: Old item, low value is light blue, the higher the value of the old item, the bluer the color.
【Green Appraisal Prompt Entry】: Genuine item, the higher the value assessed by the system, the greener the color. If it's green to the point of shining, it means it's a genuine antique old item, or a genuine item of very high value.
【Purple Appraisal Prompt Entry】: Toxic and harmful items, such as acid-washed jadeite, dyed agate, jade, chemically treated prayer beads, etc.
【Black Appraisal Prompt Entry】: Prohibited, illegal items, such as ivory products, unearthed cultural relics, etc.
【Sparkling Gold Appraisal Prompt Entry】: This is a striking entry that prompts a great open door genuine bargain, very easy to distinguish, showing the AI intelligence of the All-Purpose Entry Prompt System.
If the various items on the antique stalls didn't have different colored appraisal prompt entries, Lin Lang would probably take half a year to read all of them.
Lin Lang secretly marveled, "The All-Purpose Entry Prompt System is simply a godsend for appraising treasures and finding bargains!"
"It seems it will be hard not to get rich today."
Gu Keqing said, "A Lang, there's nothing good at the antique stalls, let's go browse the antique shops!"
Lin Lang replied, "Those who open antique shops are experts. It's too difficult to find a bargain from an expert. Let's first browse the antique stalls. It's easier to find bargains and make a lot of money by sifting through the sand."
"Okay!"
"Then Sis will see if you're boasting or if you really have the ability to appraise treasures and find bargains. Don't get slapped in the face~"
"Keqing Sis, just watch!"
Lin Lang and Gu Keqing chatted and laughed as they browsed the dazzling array of stalls in the huge antique market.
As they walked, Lin Lang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stopped in front of an inconspicuous ancient coin stall.
Ding! 【Sparkling Gold Appraisal Prompt Entry】 Big Open Door Antique Bargain Prompt: Discovered a 'great virtue circulating treasure' mother coin, current market collection value conservatively estimated at 1 million chinese yuan.
Lin Lang squatted in front of the stall, deliberately picked up a fake Yuan Datou silver coin, and asked, "Boss, how much is this Yuan Datou coin with a face value of one yuan from the third year of the Republic of China?"
The middle-aged uncle stall owner, sitting on a small stool, replied, "100 chinese yuan."
Gu Keqing stood by and reminded him, "A Lang, there are too many fake Yuan Datou silver coins. Are you sure this one is real?"
Lin Lang shrugged and lied, "Not sure."
The middle-aged uncle stall owner boasted, "Young man, just buy it with confidence!"
"Brother, all the ancient coins at my stall are real. The Yuan Datou silver coins are appreciating very quickly now. If you collect it for a year, its value will definitely double."
【Red Appraisal Prompt Entry】: This Yuan Datou silver coin is a low-quality counterfeit.
Lin Lang thought, "Trying to fool me is useless. I'm just creating a diversion. What I really want to get is that great virtue circulating treasure mother coin with the golden entry prompt."
After thinking, Lin Lang casually rummaged through the ancient coin stall a few times, then, following the golden appraisal entry prompt, picked up a very old and inconspicuous great virtue circulating treasure mother coin.
"Boss, how much is this copper coin?"
The stall owner, who was bargaining with other customers, casually glanced at it and replied, missing out on a million, "Take it for ten chinese yuan."
Lin Lang was secretly overjoyed upon hearing this. He quickly clutched the great virtue circulating treasure mother coin in his hand, took out ten chinese yuan from his pocket, and handed it to the busy stall owner.
"Goodbye, boss!"
Lin Lang, who had successfully found a huge bargain, clutched the great virtue circulating treasure mother coin worth a million in his hand, stood up from the ancient coin stall, and wanted to leave.
The middle-aged uncle stall owner, after receiving Lin Lang's ten chinese yuan, suddenly said, "Young man, don't go!"
Lin Lang, who was about to leave, froze upon hearing this, thinking, "Oh no, could it be that the stall owner has changed his mind?"
