Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Hearing what Xu Que had said, everyone present fell into silence.

You want to buy all the stones?

Everyone turned around and looked at Xu Que in great surprise, as if they were looking at a fool.

“Are you mad?! Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?”

Liu Jingning pulled Xu Que’s sleeve.

All of a sudden, people burst into laughter.

“It seems that this young man knows nothing about stone-cutting!”

“Young man, the key of stone-cutting lies in how you cut a stone and the ability of spotting a good stone. It has nothing to do with how many Spiritual Stones you have!”

“I’m sure you’ll regret what you’ve just said.”

“By the way, most of the stones here aren’t a very good quality. What’s the point of buying them all?”

Everyone laughed at Xu Que.

Xu Que waved his hand. “You know nothing! I said I would buy them all, and I will buy them all. I have many more Spiritual Stones, more than you can imagine. Do you know how it feels when I wake up and see piles of piles of Spiritual Stones around me?”

Hearing this, everyone was speechless.

This young man is so pretentious! He has plenty of Spiritual Stones, so what?!

No matter what, everyone present believed Xu Que would get nothing in the end, since most of the stones were just piles of crap. Only those who had the ability to spot a good stone could find a few good ones.

But it was still rather silly for someone to buy them all, since even if Xu Que found something good, it’s value could never match the money he had spent on all the stones.

“Really?! You really have enough Spiritual Stones? It’ll cost you at least a couple thousand Spiritual Stones of top quality!” Liu Jingning was worried.

“What?!”

These stones cost thousands of Spiritual Stones of top quality?! Holy sh*t! If I began to work in the industry of stone-cutting, I could definitely earn more than I did by selling hamburgers and ice cream.

“Stone-cutting is a very risky activity that also costs a lot. Normally, people don’t dare to take part in this activity unless they really know what they’re doing,” Liu Jingning said while shaking her head.

“Hurry up! Man up! Don’t care about if you’re going to go bankrupt! Buy them all!” Buttface shouted.

“You’re right! I should just buy them all!” Xu Que nodded.

Anyway, I have plenty of Spiritual Stones. Yes, thousands of Spiritual Stones is a big sum of money, but never mind that.

After he killed many powerful men of the Infant Transformation Stage that day and earned lots of Spiritual Stones, along with the Spiritual Stones he had brought with him from the Five Element Mountain, he had around three thousand Spiritual Stones of top quality.

“Pack all the stones up for me!” Xu Que shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Liu Jingning was speechless and brought her palm to her forehead.

I never thought he would be so stubborn, just like this damn dog!

“I’ve never seen someone who’s willing to spend such a huge amount of money to buy a pile of crappy stones!” Liu Jingning forced out a smile.

Xu Que smiled. “What’s the point of being granted the talent of making money if I don’t spend the money I make?!”

Hearing this, the people around were completely stunned.

My goodness! I know you’re rich, but there’s really no need to be this arrogant!

Don’t you feel shameless for what you’ve said?

...

At the moment, a male servant hurriedly came forward and asked again if Xu Que wanted to buy all the stones. When he learned Xu Que really meant what he had said, he was terribly shocked. Still, he sold the stones to Xu Que.

“The total amount is one thousand and two hundred Spiritual Stones, and you should give me a hundred more, since there’s an extra fee for cutting the stone,” the servant said.

Xu Que quickly handed all the stones to the servant without even blinking.

Seeing this, many people were quite jealous. Liu Jingning was also shocked, because she had never thought Xu Que was this rich!

Very soon, a few more male servants came forward, each with a jade knife, ready to cut the stones for Xu Que.

Xu Que sat comfortably on a chair to the side with maids serving him tea. Usually, a man of great fortune was always welcomed by the staff of the stone-cutting convention, since they could make a fortune off of him.

Quickly, people stopped laughing at him and even started to admire him.

“It seems that we underestimated him! He really is rich!”

“Haven’t you seen? He is quite at ease and is not bothered by spending so much money at all.”

“Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction? Why have I never heard of him before?”

“I knew it! There are many powerful men in the Eastern Continent!”

Hearing people’s comments, Xu Que laughed. Even if he couldn’t get another piece of Dragon Soul Element, he was already quite satisfied with receiving so much admiration from others.

The sound of a notification kept ringing...

He had received more than five thousand Acting Tough Points by acting tough in front of everyone.

“Fantastic!”

Compared with Acting Tough Points, the Spiritual Stone was nothing.

Soon, the male servants managed to cut many stones, however, nothing valuable was found. Seeing this, people all shook their heads.

“It seems that there are more crappy stones than I thought. They’ve cut more than a third of the stones, and haven’t found a single good one yet.”

“I thought that round stones were supposed to be good ones!”

“Stone-cutting requires a bit of luck!”

...

Liu Jingning who was standing next to Xu Que, frowned. “Xu Que, you have really bad luck this time!”

“Nonsense! It’s said that he who likes laughing always has good luck! You think I’ve lost a huge sum of money, but actually I haven’t.”

“Come back to reality! Do you have any idea how many incidents you’ve dragged yourself into today?!”

Hearing this, Xu Que suddenly realized what Liu Jingning had said was true.

When he first landed the Eastern Continent, he had been misunderstood by Qin Ji and killed someone in the The Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect. Then he had ran into trouble with Han Guoqiang when he was in Tian Luo City, and he had met people of the Gong family when he was at the Bright Moon Hotel...

“We all have bad luck sometimes. Believe me, everything will be better when you wake up tomorrow morning,” Xu Que said rather casually.

Liu Jingning shook her head and smiled. “You’re being naive. I’m afraid you’ll get yourself into more trouble from today onward.”

“F*ck off! Are you cursing me?” Xu Que was a bit unhappy.

Liu Jingning smiled, “I’m not cursing you. By the way, do you still remember what I said to you when we were in the Water Nation?”

“Not really, you know how I am...”

Liu Jingning rolled her eyes and said, “I said that you should keep your distance from Jiang Hongyan, otherwise you would be unlucky. Anyone who is close to Jiang Hongyan is dragged into bad incidents. I’m afraid that what you’ve experienced so far is just the beginning...”

“What?!” Xu Que was stunned.

Does that mean what I have experienced today was all due to Jiang Hongyan?!

This can’t be true! I come from the twenty-first century, I’m an educated man!

This is just a bunch of nonsense!

Right at this moment, a male servant came forward and said, “We cut all of the stones, and we found nothing inside.”
