Chapter 353: Chapter 248 Eavesdropping! Missing a Two, Huh?

Sui Yi’s gaze peeled through layers like unraveling silk, sweeping over these people. Magnetic Sensation trickled a few strands, discerning a machine in the pocket of a man closest to her.

A machine that captures sound waves.

An Eavesdropping Device!

Sui Yi turned her face and naturally mentioned a rough stone’s number to Gong Jiu and the others.

The moment Gong Jiu and his companions heard it, they were stunned. Hey, wasn’t that the largest piece of rough stone? They had previously advised Sui Yi to buy it jointly, thinking she had given up...

Without thinking, they looked towards Sui Yi, only to see her blink, that look in her eyes...

Hey~~quite interesting~~

Being rather mischievously bad themselves, they instantly understood.

"So she’s also interested in the number of that largest rough stone... This young lady has some skills, she has repeatedly gambled and purchased stones successfully. It’s worth taking a chance," the man carrying the Eavesdropping Device heard an elderly voice through the earpiece.

The man nodded slightly.

He passed the information to others.

"So this is the tactic. No wonder Old Goat Monster has so many rough stones at his disposal. Perhaps some of the good rough stones others were optimistic about were intercepted by him using such methods..."

However, if the Old Goat Monster competed for that peculiar piece of rough stone, she wouldn’t mind visiting the dangerous goat’s lair for a meetup.

Afraid? Sui Yi never knew what fear was.

She toyed with the bidding device in her hand, her gaze flickering towards the stones changing at intervals above, as seconds ticked by...

"It’s out!"

The piece of Spring-colored Jade of immense value... ?

No, it was that piece of rough stone with the potential to be King of Bids!

"It’s the largest rough stone!"

"It’s out!"

"Damn! Who’s so bold, to directly raise the price by five million!"

In just a few ticks, the bid price soared to 60 million. Sui Yi and her group could see that nearly a third of the people in the hall were pressing numbers. Sui Yi’s hands were also moving. Hu Yuan glanced over from not too far and exchanged a look with Hu Lin. Dongling Jewelry’s people immediately sprang into action,

Like a row of dominos, one person bid, and others followed suit! Just like Sui Yi, who had repeatedly hit the jackpot, whether by luck or skill in stone gambling, it was worth following her lead. If they could intercept that piece of rough stone before her, the profits would be theirs!

Nowadays, not many people still saw Sui Yi as just a wealthy young miss out for fun. Even if she were just a fortunate rich girl, she was born with great fortune. Moreover, the most adept at discerning prospects were the merchants who had dominated the commercial seas for years. After analyzing Sui Yi’s performance, they felt this young girl was quite extraordinary, not a simple character. So, whether the next rough stones she eyed would contain jade, no one could guarantee,

"Father, why should we follow her lead?" Hu Lin was somewhat reluctant. It wasn’t a moral issue, but he felt that mindlessly idolizing a woman and copying her seemed to damage his pride.

"What do you know! I’ve checked already; this lass is extremely skilled at gambling stones, striking gold repeatedly. She’s almost made two hundred million by now. Is that something an ordinary person can achieve?"

"Maybe it’s just luck..."

"Even if it’s luck, it’s consistently good luck. Who knows if the next stone she’s set her eyes on will also have green in it. Especially with the King of Bids, with so many people watching, if Dongling can get ahead, our reputation will surely soar!"

Hu Yuan, too, felt somewhat overwhelmed, especially as Xiao Xianting’s Purple Sand Jewelry was overwhelmingly powerful, suppressing Dongling Jewelry, which was already struggling, very harshly. If they didn’t fight back soon, there wouldn’t be a name for Dongling Jewelry in Urumqi after a while!

"Shit! Why are so many people grabbing at it? Are they doing this on purpose?" Elder Tang and others realized that, in theory, even if the King of Bids performed well, it wasn’t worth such a frenzy of bids.

"It’s simple, they’re all eyeing Sui Yi," Flower Demon made a comment that could easily be misunderstood. While others listened, she pressed the numbers and chuckled coldly: "Even if it is luck, it’s sustainable luck. These people would naturally prefer to believe in a lucky person than to rely solely on their eyes, all because Sui Yi has uncovered too many greens in the rough stones..."

"Once people get greedy, even spit-out food tastes delicious," Gong Jiu curled his lip and looked at Sui Yi. "I’m saying, Sui Yi, if you really want this King of Bids, let’s go all out and take it!"

If they really wanted it, the three of them working together could throw in a billion more without fear.

They could always compensate for any loss by exploring a few caves later... that’s right! Gong Jiu and Flower Demon had just that in mind, thinking that following Miss Sui tomb raiding would feel particularly safe...
