Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Bro, You’re Going to Lose Friends This Way

As the conversation reached this point, Zhuang Yan’s smile froze, sensing something was off.

At this moment, Chen Sheng suddenly chimed in:

"Chairman Zhuang, if we follow your thinking, there’s no way Brother Lin wouldn’t understand this..."

His words were a wake-up call, and Zhuang Yan instantly realized where he was missing the point.

Of course! Ever since I’ve known Lin Yi, every time this cheeky guy claims he doesn’t know something, he ends up knowing more than the experts!

And without exception!

Listening to the two of them exchanging banter, Lin Yi felt a bit embarrassed and waved his hands:

"Oh, Brother Zhuang, Brother Chen, you’re making me blush. I just guess, it’s all random guessing, purely luck, just a bit of good luck.

But this time, I really don’t get diamonds. I don’t even know if diamonds grow ’on trees’ or ’underground’."

Though it sounded exaggerated, Lin Yi genuinely didn’t understand diamonds. It was like, without the system, he wouldn’t recognize antiques or know jade either.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly paused, oops, seems like I forgot about the system~

At that moment, seeing Lin Yi’s serious expression, Zhuang Yan contemplated for a second and asked:

"Really don’t understand?"

Lin Yi instinctively nodded: "Really don’t understand."

Then, Zhuang Yan reached into one of the three suitcases in front of him, randomly picked out a pea-sized diamond, and handed it to Lin Yi, asking:

"So, little brother, is there anything special about this diamond?"

While contemplating whether the system could appraise diamonds, Zhuang Yan handed him one.

Taking it, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask the system in his mind:

"System, can you appraise this diamond and tell me what it can be broken down into?"

[Detecting item provided by the master for deconstruction and reconstruction, a 4.16-carat IF grade diamond from Namibia. Would the master like to proceed with deconstruction and reconstruction?]

Hearing the system’s response, Lin Yi’s mouth curved up, thinking this system is indeed awesome, truly anything can be broken down!

While marveling at the system’s prowess, he played with the small diamond in his hands and asked:

"Brother Zhuang, a 4.16-carat IF grade diamond from Namibia, how much could this be worth?"

Poof~

As soon as he said this, the expressions on both Zhuang Yan and Chen Sheng’s faces were extraordinary.

As expected, it was just as I thought, completely in line with Lin Yi’s usual style.

I know absolutely nothing, but don’t ask. Ask me, and I’ll suddenly know, really know — know enough to make you question life.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle:

"Hehe, just a little bit, really just a little bit. Brother Zhuang, how much is this thing worth?"

A little bit? Oh, come on with your little bit, it’s more like an ’a lot bit.’

Just a glance at the thing, and you’ve already pinpointed even the mine of origin. Is there anything more incredible?

Unlike jade, with diamonds, it’s not obvious as the color and texture of rough stones vary from one famous mine to another.

Once a diamond is cut, it’s hard to determine its original source, as the place of origin has no direct correlation with a diamond’s quality.

However, that doesn’t mean there’s no way to distinguish the origin. Apart from using instruments, those who deal with diamonds regularly can still tell apart a few famous diamond sources.

This means Lin Yi’s knowledge of diamonds is extremely high, to a quite exaggerated degree.

At the very least, even Zhuang Yan’s diamond procurement people can’t distinguish just by sight.

"Little brother, you’re going to have no friends this way... Being able to determine diamond quality and even the exact carat weight at a glance, stop teasing us!"

"Yes, yes, I’ve always heard Chairman Zhuang say you’re impressive, and today I truly witnessed it! Really impressive!"

With such praises from the two of them, Lin Yi actually felt a bit bashful but also sighed in his heart: "Oh, I’m obviously telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? I truly don’t know anything, okay? Knowing everything, that’s the system..."

Of course, he couldn’t say this aloud; the existence of the system was his biggest secret.

But clearly, no matter what Lin Yi says now, Zhuang Yan has already determined that Lin Yi is an expert on diamonds as well.

So, Lin Yi could only helplessly shake his head, handing the diamond back over, while saying:

"Sigh, I was just trying to keep a low profile, but in the end, you’ve found out. Hehe, since that’s the case, I won’t pretend anymore. I admit it, I actually do know about diamonds, and I currently have a batch. Brother Zhuang, interested?"

Indeed, Lin Yi’s reverse strategy made both Zhuang Yan and Chen Sheng nod, so it has come to this — he couldn’t pretend anymore.

Moreover, upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhuang Yan clearly became interested in the batch of diamonds Lin Yi mentioned:

"Haha, I told you, my little brother is impressive, you can’t hide it anymore. Of course, I’m interested in your stuff, little brother. But how many diamonds do you have? And what’s their quality and size?

If they reach this standard, you know the market price should be around 310,000, but I’ll offer 360,000. How about that, little brother? Is that good enough from your big brother?"

After hearing Zhuang Yan’s offer, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. See, you wouldn’t tell me the price, but in the end, you obediently revealed it.

"Brother Zhuang, what are you talking about? Just give me the market price, and if you give more, I’ll just pop over next door to ask their price."

Hearing their ’bargaining’, Madam Chen felt speechless, thinking: Most sellers hike the price, but here you are, not only not hiking, but even pushing it down, what’s this approach?

And Chairman Zhuang, too, as a buyer, instead of negotiating, you’re offering more...

However, on the side, Chen Sheng clearly saw that Chairman Zhuang was obviously trying to attract a priceless connection.

"Oh, enough with the fuss, Brother Zhuang, no need to argue. My batch of diamonds isn’t large, but the quality is quite good. When I bring them over, you can take a look and then offer a price, okay?"

"Sure, sure, if you have nothing to do, bring them over now. Rest assured, I’ll offer higher than the market price."

Bring them over now? What diamonds? Lin Yi had nowhere to steal them from...
