Chapter 52: Give up? It's impossible to give up

Uncle? This little girl actually called Fifth Lord Qin 'Uncle'?

Qin Feng had long known Lin Meng was at the Stone Gambling scene, and as soon as he approached he gave her a lecture.

You little brat, you've gotten bold—just because you have a little spare cash you come here to squander it. Is stone gambling really something fun to play with? How many people who were once rich ended up losing even their underwear.

Lin Meng pursed her lips, stared at the other person's blatantly fake white teeth for a moment, then said:

You're laying on the dad vibe a bit thick, huh. People who lose their underwear are just clumsy and love to play, but I'm different—look, I pulled out mutton-fat jade on my first try.

Even before Qin Feng arrived, he already knew the situation; he couldn't help but marvel at Lin Meng's heaven-defying luck.

But he thought it was just luck—there are too many examples of stone gambling where one cut makes you poor and the next makes you rich.

Human greed knows no bounds; one often gets trapped in it, especially young people lacking experience and self-control, who are more prone to get carried away and unable to extricate themselves.

After several interactions with Lin Meng, he genuinely felt this little girl was not easy to deal with and also quite courageous.

He rarely appreciates young people, so he doesn't want her to go astray.

Your luck really makes me envious, but don't forget—stone gambling is still gambling; can you guarantee you'll get good material every time?

Once you get a taste of success, it's easy to fall in; you'll no longer be satisfied with cheap materials from the low-price zone, and sooner or later you'll have to touch raw stones worth hundreds of thousands, even millions—by then it'll be too late to cry.

Lin Meng: 'Hundreds of thousands, millions? Uncle, you think too highly of me.'

Qin Feng also said: 'This time your luck was good, congratulations are still in order, but there can't be a next time—why would a girl save money only to spend it on this kind of thing?'

Lin Meng: 'Uncle, did you get porcelain veneers? Look at those big white teeth—they could reflect my face.'

Qin Feng: ……

He could tell—this brat was impervious to advice, just playing with him for fun, and hadn't taken a word of what he said to heart.

Their interaction was plain for all to see, and everyone was surprised by Lin Meng's background.

Qin Feng, Fifth Lord Qin, is a figure who can cover the sky with one hand in this little Yun Cheng; even though there are some out-of-town players present, none dare to provoke this local tyrant's wrath.

Wang Xiang was even more devastated—if he had known she had that background, he wouldn't have dared to treat her as a fat sheep even if beaten to death.

What are you going to do with this? Let me give you a suggestion—since the edges are exposed, it's definitely mutton-fat jade, but ultimately how it turns out is still unknown.

Better to just stop here and sell it as a half-gamble raw stone.

Qin Feng's words made Lin Meng fall into thought.

She trusted her mental power's judgment, estimating that even if cut entirely, this piece of mutton-fat jade wouldn't exceed fifty grams.

If sold as a half-gamble raw stone, how much could it fetch?

As soon as Lin Meng finished speaking, someone on the scene couldn't wait and started shouting.

Miss Lin, I want to purchase it; I'm willing to offer 600,000.

600,000? Fifth Lord Qin is still here, and you dare to lowball? Miss Lin, I'm willing to offer 1,000,000.

I'll offer 1,100,000.

……

Lin Meng hadn't even said anything yet, and the scene had already bid the price up to over a million.

Lin Meng reckoned that selling it for a million would definitely be a huge profit.

Qin Feng made an appearance this time, having resolved to help Lin Meng, so he cut off everyone's chatter and said to Lin Meng:

If you trust me, I can help you sell it, and the price will definitely be auction-level.

Upon hearing that, Lin Meng naturally felt tempted; Fifth Lord Qin seems unrestrained, not like a steady forty-year-old, but from this period of contact, Lin Meng is willing to trust him.

Early the next morning, Lin Meng received a call from Qin Feng—the stone had already been sold.

After hanging up, the wire transfer arrived promptly; the efficiency was very high.

Lin Meng took a look—exactly 2,500,000, not a cent more or less.

If the money hadn't actually landed in her account, Lin Meng would have suspected Fifth Lord Qin was scolding her.

Who would have thought—less than two hours later, Fifth Lord Qin called again.

As soon as Lin Meng picked up, she heard laughter from the other end, leaving her bewildered.

What's up, my uncle? Why did you suddenly go crazy?

Qin Feng paid no heed to Lin Meng's teasing, laughed a bit more, then said:

You little brat, could you be a reincarnated luck deity? This is too fortunate—guess what? The buyer opened your material on the spot and got it all out, yet only yielded thirty grams of seed material; experts estimate its value at around 1.2 million, a huge loss.

Even though Lin Meng had anticipated this, she still couldn't help but gasp.

With this one transaction, she made a fortune, while those looking to speculate lost over a million in just a few hours—truly, the world is unpredictable.

Still, the material's quality was quite good and its shape regular, so the buyer didn't feel they lost much—in fact, they asked me about you, saying if you have more material, they'd buy it from you.

Fifth Lord Qin's words having fallen, he immediately reminded Lin Meng:

Let me tell you, you must absolutely keep yourself in check—once you're hooked, there's no turning back; stone gambling is...

Lin Meng couldn't be bothered to listen, she set the phone aside and used her mental power to check the two spaces.

Ye Fan hasn't moved yet; the packed meal I gave him remains untouched, perhaps he's busy in the sect.

In the First Space, the chicken leg meals are short by four portions; Ye Heng is heading to Zone 13 again this time, and should only be bringing three team members.

Afterward, Lin Meng turned her gaze to the door of this space.

During this period, she almost every day tried to open that door, but never succeeded.

Who knows what lies behind that door once her mental power becomes strong enough?

Could it be a direct passage to Ye Heng's world?

Lin Meng's mind was jumping with thoughts when she heard Qin Fifth Lord Qin's 'hey hey hey' over the phone.

"Lin Meng? Are you listening?"

Lin Meng quickly picked up her phone: "Yeah, I'm listening, don't worry I won't act recklessly."

Qin Feng felt Lin Meng's words were flippant and perfunctory, but he had no evidence.

She hung up the phone, Lin Meng let out a cold snort.

Give up? It's impossible to give up.

She tried to contact Ye Heng, but got no further response.

After thinking, Lin Meng immediately left the hotel and wandered around the nearby mall.

At night, in another stone gambling venue in Yun Cheng, Lin Meng mixed in wearing a top baseball cap, her eyes gleaming with sharp light.

Yun Cheng's nightlife is rich; this stone gambling venue borders a bustling pedestrian street with huge crowds.

Thus the venue inside was also packed with people, much livelier than the daytime one.

The staff guarding the venue were all tall and muscular; anyone trying to cause trouble here would be asking for death.

This time Lin Meng planned to gamble on stones herself; with some experience, she no longer needed to have every stone re-evaluated by Ye Heng.

She glanced at the ordinary stone area, found nothing, and had someone recommend her to the medium-grade stone area.

In just half an hour, Lin Meng picked five raw stones; though they seemed randomly chosen, she had repeatedly verified them with her mental power, so there would be no mistake.

When checking out, everyone's gaze toward her was rather strange.

Spending two hundred thousand, there's hardly even a chance to hear a sound; this little girl must have too much money to spend.

Who gambles on stones like this? It's even more casual than buying vegetables at a market.

Lin Meng disagreed and went to check out the stone room.

As expected, a shocking piece of news quickly exploded throughout the stone gambling venue.

A mysterious young woman spent two hundred thousand to casually pick out five raw stones, and each one ended up skyrocketing in value!
