Chapter 71 The Third Person with a Light Screen (Live Streaming System)
As summer drew to a close, a well-dressed young man approached. His clothes and accessories were perfectly suited to him, making him appear handsome.
What made Xia Mo pause was not the young man's appearance, but the light screen in front of him.
When Xia Mo saw the third person with the light screen, the word "sieve" popped into her mind.
My mood soothed as summer drew to a close.
A barrage of comments scrolled across the youth's screen.
The chat in the live stream was all about gambling on jade.
The commenter, "God of Gamblers himself, said: 'Host, with your X-ray, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to find the real jade mixed in with the stones in Boss Bai's place?'"
A commenter named "Hehehe" said: "I love how you, the streamer, are despicable and cunning, willing to do anything to achieve your goals."
……
The young man walked past her, but Xia Mo did not turn around. Instead, she extended her divine sense to continue collecting information from the light screen.
The young man walked into Boss Bai's tent, and then put on the "glasses," which were actually X-ray glasses that he had obtained from the system.
The young man examined all the jade raw materials in Boss Bai's house, but he didn't discover at all the genuine jade materials that he had secretly mixed in with the boss's son!
The young man couldn't believe it. He looked again with the X-ray glasses, but still... he couldn't find anything!
As summer drew to a close, I looked up at the sky.
She had to rush back to Anjia Village; her time was limited, and she couldn't linger any longer.
Xia Mo withdrew his divine sense and strode towards the jade shop.
Inside a jade shop in Anning Prefecture—
Inside the shop, there are fully and partially carved stones, as well as exquisite jade ornaments displayed on the counter.
Xia Mo appeared wearing a face mask, and the waiter only glanced at her.
In late summer, I walked up to the half-opened jade stone.
Even half-cut jade stones are priced differently.
The better the quality of the exposed water, the higher the price; the lower the quality of the exposed water, the lower the price.
The other part of a half-opened stone is not visible, so buying this kind of stone also involves an element of gambling.
Xia Mo scanned the pieces with her divine sense, picked one out, and said to the waiter, "I'll take this one."
“Okay, this piece is worth one hundred taels,” the waiter said, not moving, but looking at Xia Mo.
Xia Mo grabbed a handful of money from the purse at his waist and placed it on the counter, indicating to the clerk to count it.
The waiter brought over a small scale, weighed the item, put away the hundred taels, and asked, "Sir, would you like us to help you open the account?"
The waiter's eyes flickered.
For a newcomer like Xia Mo, if they happen to find a good piece of jade, they can switch it out.
Xia Mo shook his head, picked up the ten-pound half-cut jade stone, and turned to leave.
"Sir, we help you open your shop for free," the waiter said, chasing after Xia Mo.
Xia Mo shook his head, holding the half-opened jade stone.
The shop assistant said hesitantly, "It must be tiring for you to carry it like that. How about I have it delivered to your door?"
If Xia Mo were to actually buy a top-quality piece, the shopkeeper would be furious with him.
Xia Mo still shook his head.
The shop assistant, unwilling to give up, blocked Xia Mo's way: "Sir, you've already spent a hundred taels to buy half a piece of jade, don't you mind spending a little more time?"
The man wanted to ask someone to help examine the half-opened jade piece that Xia Mo was holding.
Xia Mo looked at the shop assistant with cold eyes, then spread her divine sense and detected that a waiter in the jade shop had gone to the backyard to report a message, and then mentioned a young man.
Summer's end, she raised an eyebrow.
She got it.
Xia Mo tried to walk past the waiter, but the waiter continued to block her way.
Xia Mo directly smashed the half-stone in his hand at the waiter's head.
The waiter was startled and quickly dodged away.
As summer drew to a close, we continued moving forward.
The waiter tried to run to Xia Mo, but found that no matter how hard he chased, he couldn't reach her!
Summer was fast approaching, and the waiter simply shouted, "Stop thief!"
Summer paused for a moment as summer drew to a close, a wave of annoyance washing over her.
The waiter quickly gave chase, and some enthusiastic people nearby offered to help him catch Xia Mo, as if Xia Mo, who had covered her face, was a thief.
As summer drew to a close, he sped up and ran past the crowd.
A group of people chased after Xia Mo, but only for a short while before Xia Mo disappeared from their sight!
The group gritted their teeth, glaring resentfully in the direction Xia Mo had left.
After shaking off the others, Xia Mo slowed down as he wandered into the alleyways of Anning Prefecture.
Xia Mo extended her divine sense, probing into the jade shop—
The jade shop found a young man with a light screen.
When the young man saw that the jade stone being sold was a half-cut piece priced at one hundred taels, his heart sank.
And the comments in front of him also moved.
Comments: Hey streamer, the half-cut jade you were trying to snag has been bought by someone else. See? I told you to act fast when the time is right. Too late now!
……
Xia Mo's consciousness turned to the cashier counter inside the shop.
There, there was not only the one hundred taels of silver from the end of summer, but also silver notes and three hundred taels of cash.
These are all the revenues the jade shop earned today.
The silver note, with its serial number, was destroyed by Xia Mo using her divine sense. As for the four hundred taels of silver...
As summer ended, she circled around to the back of the jade shop. Once she was within a hundred meters, she used her divine sense to store the four hundred taels of silver into her soul space.
After receiving the cash, Xia Mo turned and left.
Since the other party has already called her a thief, the cause and effect have already been established. Her retaliating doubly wouldn't be considered a violation of the causal chain, right?
Inside the jade shop—
The shopkeeper scolded the waiter for failing to find a buyer, which was late summer.
The young man standing to the side looked extremely grim because he had missed the chance to snag a bargain.
Soon, something even more distressing happened to the shopkeeper.
"Where's the cash in the counter?! And these banknotes... what happened?!" The shopkeeper screamed excitedly, his vision blurring as he looked at the banknotes torn to shreds.
The young man immediately used the live streaming system to check the metal box containing the money inside the counter, realized something was wrong, and decisively left.
"The loss... has reached three thousand taels... We must investigate thoroughly, close the shop, and call everyone who was in the shop today... to the back garden..." the jade shop owner said in a trembling voice.
Xia Mo withdrew his divine sense and stopped paying attention to what was happening in the jade shop.
* * *
Half an hour later—
Anping County —
Xia Mo, who had rushed back quickly, did not enter Anping County, but instead circled the low city wall surrounding Anping County and headed towards Anjia Village.
She took the opportunity to extend her divine sense and observe the situation in Anping County.
Xia Mo condensed his scattered divine sense into a thin thread, reaching the gates of the Wei family in Anping County—
Jia Daoren was wrapped up tightly, with only his eyes showing, and was standing outside the Wei family's gate in Anping County.
"Are you sure you told your master that I've come?! If you did, he couldn't possibly refuse to see me!" Jia Daoren said confidently to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng's lips twitched, and he said, "Master Jia, you are in really good health. After what happened this morning, you can still stand up."
Jia Daoren's heart heaved violently. When the matter from that morning was mentioned, it felt as if a knife had been plunged into his chest, and his face turned black, so black it seemed as if ink could drip from it.
Jiang Feng was subtly mocking Jia Daoren for being treated like a "monkey in heat" and being surrounded by onlookers this morning.
