Chapter 31 New Uses of the Eye of Insight

“He Guangda, you need to think this through. This raw stone is so big, it must be very valuable.”

"If our He family wants to buy this rough stone, we estimate we'll need to allocate half of our working capital."

"If we collapse, our He family will be in a very passive position."

"The worst thing in doing business is having problems with the cash flow."

He Guangwei spoke slowly and deliberately, placing the teacup he had just finished drinking on the table.

To be honest, he wasn't optimistic about the plan.

The old patriarch has gone into seclusion, and has temporarily given He Guangda the authority to act as patriarch.

He Guangda is now the acting head of the family, and he has the authority to make decisions.

I doubt He Guangda would take my opinion to heart.

On the contrary, they might feel that they are humiliating him.

He Guangda was stubborn and self-willed. If it weren't for his inability to walk properly, the position of acting head of the family would not have fallen into his hands.

As expected, He Guangda looked impatient after hearing He Guangwei's words.

He clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and said to He Guangwei, "Brother, I am now the acting head of the family."

"My decision doesn't need your questioning."

He Guangwei pushed his wheelchair out and said calmly, "Since you've already made up your mind, why did you call me over? I'll go back first and not join in the fun."

Just as He Guangda was getting annoyed by He Guangwei's lack of tact, the appraiser quickly stepped forward and offered his opinion: "Master, I've examined this rough stone. There's a lot of good stuff inside. It's worth it."

"It's impossible for it to collapse; it's just a matter of how much money we make."

After listening to the appraiser's advice to ensure he could make a profit, He Guangda finally made up his mind and decided to participate in the competition for the raw stone.

He just didn't see the slight upturn of the appraiser's lips.

"Alright, everyone has been waiting for a long time. I'm sure you all have your own answer by now after observing for so long."

"The auction for the rough stones has officially begun."

People raised their signs.

At this moment, Ye Bai discovered another use for the Eye of Insight.

His Eye of Insight can detect first-tier items, but it cannot see second-tier or higher items at all; all it can see is a persistent gray fog.

When he opened his Eye of Insight, he found that a hazy mist was swirling around several parts of the raw stone.

In other words, there are only a few spots on the rough stone, and the area shrouded in mist is not very large. Whoever bids on the rough stone will probably suffer a great loss.

Moreover, the mist was swirling around in the corners and edges.

A mocking look appeared in Ye Bai's eyes. This rough stone was obviously a trap, and whoever bought it would suffer a loss. But those people didn't see through it and were still bidding with incredible fervor.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the auction house, they discovered an additional use for the Eye of Insight.

That's right, valuable items will be surrounded by gray mist.

If there isn't even a gray mist, then it's definitely a fake.

Moreover, in this state, the eye power of the Eye of Insight is consumed in a negligible amount.

"Eleven million Alliance Coins." Someone immediately raised a sign to indicate this.

"I'll add two million, making it thirteen million Alliance Coins." Another person placed an order.

"I'll add three million."

The price of the rough stones was quickly driven up by the enthusiastic crowd.

It quickly surpassed 100 million Alliance Coins.

Everyone argued heatedly, their faces flushed, and no one was willing to give in.

In the end, the He family acquired the rough stone for 300 million Alliance Coins.

"Patriarch He, congratulations! With this raw stone, you can expand beyond Jiaying City and into Yandong Province." "Yes, if the He family becomes wealthy, don't forget us, the little people who fought for you."

"Previously, someone offended the He family, and the head of the He family, with a flick of his wrist, immediately suppressed the person."

He Guangda was surrounded by sycophants, and he became somewhat conceited from their flattery.

I doubt they even remember their own worth, their surname, or their given name.

Ye Bai grinned as he looked at He Guangda's radiant face: "Let you be smug for a while longer. You'll soon experience the pain of going from heaven to hell."

After swiping his anonymous black card, He Guangda arrived at the raw stone site with a large number of bodyguards.

The host smiled and asked He Guangda, "Second Master He, are you going to cut this rough stone on the spot, or..."

He Guangda, brimming with confidence, declared: "Open it! Open it right here! I want to see what treasures I've won in the auction!"

"Okay." The host nodded and then clapped his hands.

A spatial ripple appeared, and an incredibly ferocious four-armed mantis emerged.

This four-armed mantis has four blade-like arms that can cut through iron like mud.

Each blade arm is one meter long, and the huge mouthparts resemble menacing scythes, making them look quite ferocious.

It has two pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings, and its body is covered with sharp barbs.

This four-armed praying mantis was covered in a fierce aura and also emitted a faint, lingering smell of blood.

"This is my four-armed praying mantis. It has a strong attack power and can cut through rough stones like it's nothing."

"Come on, Master He, draw the lines, and my four-armed mantis will cut the raw stone according to the lines you draw."

He Guangda then gave his appraiser a wink, and the appraiser casually drew a thin white line on the raw stone.

The four-armed mantis raised its chillingly sharp arms and cleaved the raw stone with a heavy blow.

A chilling light flashed by, and the raw stone was split in half. The cut was so smooth that it showed just how terrifying the four-armed mantis's attack was.

"This should be a pet beast of rank three or higher."

Ye Bai used his Eye of Insight to see the four-armed mantis's attack.

After the smoke cleared, everyone discovered that it was actually pure white marble.

There wasn't even a single piece of ore inside.

"Four-armed mantis, continue to divide the raw stone."

As the raw stone shrank, it turned out to be just marble inside, and it completely collapsed.

"How can this be!"

He Guangda's eyes were wide open.

He grabbed the appraiser's collar tightly: "Didn't you tell me that there were big pieces of this rough stone?"

"I spent most of my savings to buy this rough stone because I trusted you."

You lied to me!

He Guangda's eyes were bloodshot; he was furious.

The appraiser's eyes darted away: "I only said there might be a large shipment, but if it can't be shipped, there's nothing I can do."

He shrugged, looking unimpressed.

After all, even appraisers can make mistakes sometimes.

It's over. Half of the He family's working capital has been squandered by themselves. The eldest brother was right about all of this.

"Three hundred million! A whole three hundred million!"

Unable to accept this, He Guangda swung his fist at the appraiser's nose.

Taking advantage of the moment the two started fighting, Ye Bai also took advantage of the chaos to walk to the spot he had chosen earlier. He planned to take the few pieces of raw stone shrouded in gray mist into his possession.
