I just got divorced, and a rich and beautiful woman dragged me to get a marriage certificate.

"Hey bro, wanna sell this rock? I'll offer 10!"

"10? Are you trying to fob me off? I'll give you 20!"

"25 million!"

"30 million!"

At this moment, an old man in a Tang suit squeezed in, examined the stone carefully, and then held up five fingers.

"50 million!"

The surroundings quieted down for a moment.

Five hundred thousand is already a very high price, which immediately scared off many people.

The old man in the Tang suit looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile, "Young man, will you sell it for 50? I'll pay in cash, transfer it right away!"

"58 million!"

A middle-aged man walked over, wearing gold-rimmed glasses; he looked like a wealthy person.

He looked at the stone, nodded, and said with a smile:

"Perfect color, great translucency, no major cracks, 58, I'll take it!"

The old man in the Tang suit glared at the middle-aged man but didn't raise the price further.

This stone is indeed quite good, but adding any more to it would reduce the profit margin significantly.

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Mo: "Young man, how about it? 58, nod now, and I'll transfer the money right now!"

"make a deal!"

Chen Mo agreed.

Bought for 3000 yuan and sold for 580,000 yuan, that's almost 200 times more, which is pretty good!

Chen Mo was not greedy.

The middle-aged man smiled, took out his phone, and transferred the money on the spot.

A few seconds later, Chen Mo's phone rang, and a bank notification came in: 580000 yuan had been deposited into his account.

The middle-aged man took the stone, looked at it with great interest, and then put it in his bag.

"Young man, if you ever need anything, remember to come to me. I guarantee you a fair price!"

"become!"

The onlookers watched this scene with envy.

"From 3000 to 58, this kid is incredibly lucky!"

"What do you mean by good luck? They just have good eyesight!"

"Damn it! Why do I never seem to have such good luck?"

Liu Xin stood there, completely stunned.

"Old Chen, what kind of incredible luck did you get?"

"I've been running a clinic in the antique market for so long, and I hardly ever see any items that increase in value throughout the year!"

"You got green on your first try?"

Chen Mo put his phone in his pocket and patted him on the shoulder:

"Didn't I tell you? It's for newbie protection!"

"Get lost!"

Liu Xin rolled her eyes: "Do you think this is a fishing game?"

"Let's go, let's find another place to play!" Chen Mo said.

Liu Xin grabbed him, asking, "What are you doing? You're not going to gamble again, are you?"

"I bought a stone for 3000 yuan and resold it for a profit of 50 yuan. That's faster than robbery!"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "With such good luck, wouldn't it be a waste not to play a few more rounds?"

Liu Xin's face clearly said, "Are you stupid?"

"You just got incredibly lucky! You really think you can be this lucky every time?"

"I've seen this a lot. The person who wins the first time often loses the most later!"

Chen Mo shook her head, pulled him away, and said, "Alright, alright, I know what I'm doing."

As Liu Xin was dragged along, he kept muttering, "What do you know? What do you know?"

"Let me tell you, gambling on jade is a bottomless pit. So many people get a taste of success the first time, and then lose everything..."

Chen Mo pulled Liu Xin to a stop in front of another stall.

This stall is bigger than the previous one, and it has more stones of all shapes and sizes scattered all over the ground.

The stall owner was a woman in her thirties with bright eyes; she was clearly a shrewd person.

"Hey bosses, take a look? These are brand new goods, just imported from Myanmar. They're in great condition and the price is fair."

Chen Mo squatted down, his gaze sweeping over the stones, and casually picked up a stone to examine it.

empty!

The second piece is somewhat green, but the color is grayish, the texture is rough, and it's worthless.

Chen Mo picked up the third piece and probed it with his spiritual power. The stone skin was quite thick, more than a centimeter thick.

Passing through the stone skin, you enter a lush, verdant green.

The green was a perfect shade, exuding a calm and noble air. Its texture was as delicate as a baby's skin, and it was so moist it seemed to drip water.

The entire piece of jade is intact, with no obvious cracks, only one or two very minor inclusions, which do not affect the overall appearance.

Chen Mo mentally estimated that this piece was larger, had a more accurate color, and was of better quality than the previous one, so it should be more valuable.

Chen Mo was inwardly excited, but remained outwardly calm. He examined the stone from all angles, then looked up and asked the stall owner:

"How much is this?"

"The boss has a good eye!"

The female stall owner said with a smile, "This is genuine jade from the Moxi Sha mine. Look at the skin, the python pattern—the chances of it turning green are very high!"

"8000!"

"Too expensive!"

Chen Mo shook his head.

"It's not expensive, boss!"

The female stall owner smiled and said, "This is genuine old mine jade; my purchase price is more than this!"

Chen Mo put the stone down and made as if to leave: "Never mind then, I'll take another look!"

The female stall owner quickly called out to him, "Hey, hey, boss, don't be in such a hurry to leave. If you really want it, what's your price?"

"4000!"

"4000? Boss, that's way too much pressure. My costs alone are more than 4000..."

"Then forget it!"

The female stall owner gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, fine! 4000 it is, consider it making you a friend!"

Chen Mo took out his black card.

"Swipe your card!"

Liu Xin, watching from the side, was stunned: "You bought another one already?"

"Why not buy it? We'll make a profit anyway, so we won't lose!"

Chen Mo waved his hand.

The female stall owner swiped her card and handed the stone to Chen Mo: "Boss, would you like it cut open on the spot?"

"untie."

More people gathered around, intending to join in the fun.

"Sizzle—"

The blade cut all the way through, and the stone was quickly split in two.

The female stall owner glanced at it and exclaimed, "Holy crap! This color! It's a high-quality, icy green!"

"Such a big piece? We're rich! We're rich now!"

When Liu Xin saw the lush green on that half of the stone, he was completely petrified.

The first time could be attributed to sheer luck, but what about the second time? Was it still just luck?

"This...this..."

The female stall owner was so excited that her hands were trembling as she held the stone.

"Boss, this material is amazing! I've been in this business for over ten years, and I've never seen anything this good!"

"Look at the color, the clarity, the finish—this could make several big brands!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone else started bidding.

"Brother, I'll take this one! 60!"

"65 million!"

"70 million!"

"80 million!"

"88 million!"

A young man in a leather jacket walked over, looked at the stone, and nodded, saying:

"88? I'll take it!"

The others hesitated for a moment and did not raise the price further.

The young man looked at Chen Mo: "Boss, 88, deal? I can transfer the money now."

88, which is 30 more than the previous one!

"make a deal!"

Chen Mo agreed.

The young man smiled, took out his phone, and transferred the money on the spot.

Chen Mo glanced at the text message on his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The previous 58, plus the current 88, totals 146 million. That's a great deal of money!

"Let's go!"

Chen Mo pulled Liu Xin, who was still standing there in a daze, and left the stall.

At this moment, Liu Xin finally came to her senses, her eyes filled with complex emotions:

"You've made a profit twice in a row, what kind of incredible luck did you have?"

"Didn't I tell you? New player protection!"

Chen Mo shrugged.

Liu Xin opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

If it were before, he would have definitely scoffed and thought Chen Mo was talking nonsense.

But now... Liu Xin is also somewhat doubtful.

Gambling on stones is a losing proposition; he's run a clinic in this antique market for seven or eight years and has seen it all before.

Some people become rich overnight, while many more lose everything.

But like Chen Mo, both of his cuts resulted in a profit.

And they were all experiencing huge price increases, something he had never seen before.

He couldn't find any other reason besides the newbie protection.

After walking for a while, Chen Mo stopped in front of a stall.

Liu Xin's expression changed: "You still want to play? Your luck isn't always this good!"

Chen Mo squatted down, his gaze sweeping over the stone, and said without looking up, "Anyway, we made a fortune today, so we didn't lose anything."

Liu Xin was speechless.

indeed!

Chen Mo sold the two stones, which cost him 7000, for over 1.4 million.

It multiplied several hundred times, faster than robbing a bank!

Even if I play a few more rounds now, and even if I lose everything later, I won't lose anything today!

Chen Mo picked up a stone and probed it with his spiritual power.

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

It was a girl's voice, trembling with tears and panic.

Immediately afterwards, someone in the crowd shouted, "Someone has fainted! Is there a doctor? Is there a doctor? Come quick!"
