Normal-Looking Material

Song Ye and Zhao Zhen did not come and squeeze with the rest first thing in the morning. After they finished their breakfast luxuriously, she even got Zhao Zhen to bring her to see the high schools nearby. When they entered the event venue, it was already close to noon.

Zhao Zhen registered their names and was holding a magnifying glass and torchlight as he wanted to rush in to check on the materials. When Song Ye saw that he was as anxious as ants on a hotplate, she relaxingly comforted. "Uncle Zhao, there aren't many people here. You don't have to be so anxious."

"How can I not? I'm dying of anxiety. Once the venue opened, everyone would finish buying all the good items, and there won't be any left for us." Zhao Zhen finally blurted out the words he had been holding in all day. However, he regretted the moment he opened his mouth; after last night's party, Song Ye stormed out of the venue and locked herself in. Zhao Zhen let his imaginations run wild, and he was afraid that Song Ye was harassed by that Young Master Qin. After all, he was still a man; and he was not in a comfortable position to ask so he was especially submissive to Song Ye's wishes.

Song Ye did not notice Zhao Zhen's strange expression and already had her eyes on the big piece of material within the venue as she walked towards it. "We've come at the right time. There are very little people so there won't be much competition." Besides, she was guarding against Wang Yutang, that old fox. She just wanted to get back her investments and would lose out if someone had his eyes on her.

After listening to her explanation, Zhao Zhen nodded and switched his mindsets. He only focused on getting back their investments and was embarrassed because he was not as mature as Song Ye.

Following Song Ye, they toured around the venue and had an inkling of how the pricing was like; but Zhao Zhen knitted his brows very tightly. "This time, the quality of the materials is very good, but the prices are also sky-high. Wang Yutang put on such a big show to earn a large sum of money."

Song Ye nodded and casually picked out a smaller material to investigate, and she saw green in it. She had a rough estimate of what she wanted to do. "The quality of the stones that come from Myanmar are much better than the ones in normal markets so it's acceptable if their prices are slightly higher. Uncle Zhao, let's go our separate ways; we can save more time."

"Mm, okay." Zhao Zhen was already enthusiastic beyond words, and when he received the command, he immediately disappeared.

When Song Ye saw his enthusiasm towards the material, she smiled unknowingly; and there was a gentle curve on her intricate face.

Nearing noon, a large portion of the people went to eat so there were only a few people left in the venue.

Song Ye lingered around the venue empty-handed and did not gather much attention as everyone thought that she was just a small child who followed an adult over. She looked like she was walking casually, but in actuality, she had specifically avoided all the surveillance cameras.

Standing in front of a material that weighed more than a ton, Song Ye did not anxiously use her superpower to check the interior of the stone but used the knowledge she acquired to analyze it.

The material in front of her was black and had a bit of red on it, and it was considered a thin exterior material. The crystals were tiny, and its structure was very tight; these types of stones were especially hard, and the jades that they produced were of top quality. The auction price of this material was two million dollars and was pricier than the other materials. Besides, there were a dozen flags stuck there, which meant that many others were eyeing on this material and were bidding for it.

After looking for a while, Song Ye then put her hand on top and carefully used her powers to feel out the interior situation. When she looked into the stone, more than half of it was a white stone, and only the center of the stone had a small green color. However, with the size of a ball, the green color looked pretty dead. It was obviously a dead jade.

When Song Ye saw this, she took a look at the price tag again and felt emotional. It was true when people said that even the gods could not analyze jades.

Without her superpower, she would really have used two million dollars to buy a dead jade. Even an established enterprise would immediately have a financial problem.

Sighing, she turned her heels and left. She was not too worried about other people auctioning for it as she was not a savior after all, and there were risks when doing business. She had no energy to interfere with that.

Walking to the next material, a man removed his magnifying glass; he was about to leave. When he saw Song Ye walking over empty-handed, he arrogantly went up and stopped her. "Little kid, there's no need to look at this stone. It won't produce green. There's nothing for you to learn here. If you want to see, you should go look at the black sandpaper material, which has a higher chance of producing green."

Song Ye furrowed her eyebrows slightly as she did not like people, who thought they were helpful and poked their fingers into other people's business. She just directly ignored the other party and walked around him.

The latter was taken aback and felt embarrassed. He immediately pulled a long face. "Hmph, you don't know how to appreciate a kind person." After he finished talking, he walked toward the black sandpaper material in big steps.

Song Ye did not take the small incident to heart. The man did not think well of this yellow coarse material, that was of a rough and loose quality and as average as a stone randomly picked from the yellow river. The price tag was five hundred thousand, and it looked pathetic.

Actually, Song Ye did not feel good about this material producing green. Since this was such a rare chance to see so many materials, she treated it like a practice and put her hand on it.

As expected, the exterior was rough and loose and was a stone with a yellow layer. When she looked deeper, she suddenly felt that the surface became thinner and the color went from yellow to dark brown. Song Ye felt a pang in her heart as she continued to use her superpower to look deeper. Less than ten centimeters away, her eyes lit up as she saw a bright color.

The jade occupied three-fourth of the material and presented a transparent color overall, that allowed one to see the bottom at one glance, which was what professionals called 'a single look'. However, it was not just a colorless jade; the center of the jade reflected five different colors and was as colorful as the rainbow in the sky. Instead of saying that this was a glass type jade, one could say that this was an amber filled with colors.

Song Ye could almost confirm that this was a precious item, a rare precious item.

Since it was a good quality gem, she had to be fast in her actions and immediately decided to buy the material. As no one was bidding for it, she directly placed the tag on the stone. At this time, the 'good-hearted' man's voice sounded again. "Hehe, little girl. Don't waste your family's fortune. You'll get beaten for buying a stone back in a fit of anger."

It turned out that this man was going to eat after looking at the materials. When he turned behind, he saw Song Ye touching the material and even took the tag down to buy it. He felt that the little girl was too immature so he became nosy again.

However, Song Ye was very cold and did not give him face at all. After sticking the tag, she did not even talk to the man, causing him to be unable to leave some face for himself.

"Hmph, rude kid. I'm just advising you nicely, but you won't listen to me. There's obviously no possibility of this material producing green, but you want to spend five hundred thousand dollars to buy such a useless rock just because I nagged at you just now. If I see your parents, I'll ask them to teach you a lesson."
