Chapter 699: 697

"Ah, who would have thought it’s actually Nuwa’s Sky Mending Stone, this is really something!"

"No kidding, look at this size, look at this color. It’s said that when Nuwa created the colorful stones to mend the sky, there definitely were red ones, and this color is spot on!"

"Any old red stone claiming to be a Heavenly Repair Stone is definitely fake, but such a big ruby, that must be real!"

A bunch of old timers jabbered away, their eyes filled with envy.

In fact, they didn’t really believe that the stone Wang Hao had was Nuwa’s Sky Mending Stone. The key point was, even if it wasn’t a Heavenly Repair Stone, if it were just a diamond it would still be a priceless treasure! Such a large chunk! Measured by the kilogram!

How much would that be worth?! With such a thing in hand, who’d bother to hustle and bustle through life, you could just sell it and live well for several generations!

"This... this is definitely fake!" Lin Shengyun had gotten smarter this time: "Nuwa’s Sky Mending Stone is also a legend! Don’t think I don’t know, this is a myth! There can’t possibly be such a thing in reality!"

Then, with a snicker, he used Wang Hao’s previous tone and asked with schadenfreude on the side, "Hey bro, this Nuwa’s Sky Mending Stone of yours, is it real or fake, huh?"

Ah damn, trying to use my own tactics against me, huh?

Wang Hao almost laughed out loud when he heard this—Do you think I’m as foolish as you? Do you know the fundamental difference between my Heavenly Repair Stone and your Donghuang Bell?

"Hehe, actually I was just joking," Wang Hao shamelessly admitted: "Of course Nuwa’s Sky Mending Stone couldn’t be just a small piece like this. Think about it, if there were a hole in the sky, how big of a stone would it take to mend it, right? So, my thing here, like that bell of yours, we can add a ’small’ in front of it! However..."

As he spoke, Wang Hao changed the subject and smiled, "However, the key issue isn’t that. The thing is, although this is a Small Heavenly Repair Stone, in terms of value, it’s incomparable to your Small Donghuang Bell!"

"How can they be incomparable?" Lin Shengyun was immediately enticed by Wang Hao again: "They’re both fake, what’s the difference?"

"The difference is huge!" Wang Hao grinned and motioned to Little Zhang, one of the villagers: "Brother Zhang, could you help me find a piece of glass?"

"Sure!" Little Zhang responded and quickly brought over a piece of glass about a foot square, asking, "Here it is! Is this big enough?"

"It’s enough, it’s enough," Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction, then took the "Heavenly Repair Stone" and scratched it across the glass.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—!!!"

A faint squeaking sound arose, and everyone’s eyes widened, soon seeing the stone leave a white scratch on the glass!

Then Wang Hao gently tapped it with his hand, and with a crack, the glass split in two along the scratch, the cut was flat and smooth, clearly a cut mark!

What Wang Hao did was to prove one thing, this huge stone was actually a goddamn red diamond!

"My gosh! It’s really a diamond!"

"I was just thinking, if this thing turned out to be a real diamond, it would be worth a fortune. And now, look..."

"Such a big chunk! My goodness, it must be worth dozens of billions at least?!"

Everyone was completely astounded! At this point, whether Wang Hao’s stone was a Heavenly Repair Stone didn’t matter anymore!

The important thing is the value of this stone!

If it was just a regular Heavenly Repair Stone, no matter how much you hyped it up, it wouldn’t fetch more than a million at most. Take Lin Shengyun’s Small Donghuang Bell, for example, if a tycoon really wanted to buy it, the maximum price would be a few million. But Wang Hao’s is entirely different. If you said his was a Heavenly Repair Stone, it might only be worth a hundred and ten thousand, but if you said this huge thing was a diamond...

Motherfucker, it would definitely be worth billions without any problems!

"Now you see the difference between our two objects," Wang Hao said with a smug smile looking at Lin Shengyun, teasing, "Calling my stone a Heavenly Repair Stone is actually an understatement. This thing is really a diamond, and not just any diamond—it’s the most mysterious ruby. So it doesn’t really matter what I call it—but yours is different. If it weren’t for your bells and whistles, what do you think your Donghuang Bell could sell for once its façade is stripped away?"

"You! I!" Lin Shengyun’s face turned red with anger, but he was at a loss for words.

He simply couldn’t argue against the truth that Wang Hao spoke.

His Heavenly Repair Stone was demeaning the term—his Small Donghuang Bell was different. If he didn’t blow his own horn about it, it would be completely worthless...

Comparing a busted copper bell to someone’s fist-sized diamond was an exercise in self-humiliation, wasn’t it?

"Oh dear, Master Lin, look how worked up you’ve gotten," Wang Hao said with a chuckle, patting Lin Shengyun on the shoulder. "At the end of the day, these things are meant to ward off evil, right? Even though your magic artifact might not be as effective as mine, you’ve still put in some effort. Once Xiao Xue’s sister allows us to go in, I’ll take a look first as a favor to you. As for the reimbursement for your travels back and forth, of course you’ll be compensated, so no need to be shy."

Once Wang Hao had finished speaking, Lin Shengyun suddenly felt incredibly uneasy!

It sounded like he was planning to cut him out of the deal, hogging all the glory!

If he managed to cure her first, then wouldn’t all his efforts have been in vain? This was the Great Elder’s most cherished great-granddaughter of the Fang family—wouldn’t there be tremendous benefits for whoever cured her illness?

"No need, absolutely no need!" Lin Shengyun’s head was shaking like a rattle drum, "I may be known as Saint Yun Venerable, and though your ruby..." He caught himself there, realizing that calling his rival’s item worthless would be self-deterring, so he quickly changed his tune, "While your magic artifact has a nice appearance, we must acknowledge that everyone has their own area of expertise. I’ll admit that you got lucky, but when it comes to healing and saving lives, this area is my specialty!"

"Are you sure?" Wang Hao stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Alright then, you can have the first look, Master Lin. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance."

"Hmph, I’ve been making my way in the world for decades; do I need opportunities from some greenhorn like you?" Lin Shengyun said irritably with a glance at Wang Hao, "We’ll see soon enough what the results are."

"Okay," Wang Hao said with a smiling nod, then he pushed the ruby into Bai Yaning’s hand. "Mwah, this one will make a nice diamond ring for you, what do you think?"

Bai Yaning: "..."

She took the ruby and slid it onto her ring finger, and then everyone saw a beautifully pale hand adorned with a red diamond... It looked as though her hand had grown a huge, unsightly lump...

"Maybe not..." Bai Yaning also expressed her helplessness, "It’s too big to wear..."

Wang Hao: "..."

Damn it, it seems like having a diamond that’s too big isn’t a good thing after all...

Everyone around them was struggling to hold back laughter. This guy was really generous, giving away such a huge diamond just like that—and right at that moment, Fang Xiaoxue’s father came out of the house and said, "Great Elder, Xiaoxue is ready now. You can bring people in."

Ready?

People started looking at each other. Fang Huai De stomped his foot hard: "Let’s go, whether it works or not, we’ll find out after we take a look!"
