Puff!
When he heard the waiter’s words, Xu Que spat out the tea he had just drunk.
“Are all of them useless? Can’t you even find one good one?” Xu Que stared at the boy in disbelief.
Liu Jingning was also surprised, then immediately smiled while looking at Xu Que, for she had warned Xu Que about this before.
The waiter smiled wryly and nodded. “Yes, my Lord. It’s so strange that we’ve never encountered such a thing before. How could so many stones be useless?”
“Today, I’m as unlucky as a dog!” Xu Que was quite angry. Over 1,000 top grade Spirit Stones were gone with the wind!
Buttface, who was beside him, became sensitive again when he heard Xu Que mention dogs, so he said angrily, “Why am I involved in this bullsh*t?”
“Damn, I didn’t mean you!” Xu Que said angrily.
“Hum!” Buttface snorted coldly because he felt something was wrong—he didn’t want to admit he was a dog!
At this time, all the guests in the area were talking about this issue.
After all, it was the first time for them to witness something as weird as this.
Although people weren’t optimistic about some of the stones there, sometimes these people bet on the wrong horse. There were always dozens of useful stones, or at least several useful stones in each batch of stones meant for cutting.
But now Xu Que had bought so many ancient stones, and none of them had been useful, which was weird.
“Could it be that my good luck ends here? Is calamity knocking on my door as soon as I arrive in the East Continent?” Xu Que laughed wryly.
Liu Jingning sighed and had to deliver a message telepathically to Xu Que, for so many people were around her. “Her mother was the best example, so I advised you not to wade in that muddy water! Even Hongyan thinks so. She doesn’t want to have too much to do with you, otherwise, your luck will become worse and worse!”
“Boo, do you think I’d be easily terrified by this? It’s only 1,300 top grade Spirit Stones. I just don’t believe this! Today, I’ll try my luck with these stones!” Xu Que snorted, as he was not satisfied with this explanation.
He patted his thigh and shouted, “Waiter, are there any stones left? I’ll buy them all today!”
“Wow!”
His words caused uproar among the guests!
“Awesome, this cultivator really came here to donate Spirit Stones!”
“Normal people would stop trying if they encountered such a weird thing. Why does he insist on trying again?”
“I don’t know, maybe the reason is that he’s rich!”
“Yes, over a thousand top grade Spirit Stones is not a small sum, but he just threw them out as if he was playing!”
“How I envy him!”
Many people were deeply touched, seeing that the wealth gap among people was too big!
Ding! “Congratulations to the host ‘Xu Que’ for acting tough successfully. The reward is 430 Acting Tough Points!”
Ding! “Congratulations to the host ‘Xu Que’ for acting tough successfully. The reward is 450 Acting Tough Points!”
The warning tones of the System were echoing in Xu Que’s mind. However, Xu Que ignored the tones and just stared at the waiter with fiery eyes.
The waiter’s heart was filled with ecstasy, and he thought today he had met a truly impressive man, so he nodded immediately. “My Lord, we do have more! We still have a lot of better stones. Although the price is a bit higher, these stones are definitely worth the price. Would you please follow me to the venue of stone-cutting?”
“Sh*t! Isn’t this place for stone-cutting?” Xu Que was stunned.
The waiter said with a smile, “My Lord, you misunderstand! This is just small sales field. The real Stone-Cutting Convention is in our backyard! All the big shots like you play there!”
“Fine, just lead the way!” Xu Que immediately got up and waved to the waiter to show him the way.
Liu Jingning dragged Xu Que and said in surprise, “You’re just donating your Spirit Stones to them!”
“Yes, I’m here to splurge. As a foolish rich man, I can’t help doing that!” Xu Que said naively as he winked with a smile.
Liu Jingning instantly became speechless. He had admitted he was foolish rich man, what could she do to stop him?
However, deep in his heart, Xu Que was not reconciled to his bad luck!
If he was really unlucky, his Spirit Stones would be far from enough. Stone-cutting was just a bottomless hole!
“System, do you sell X-ray perspective machines that could be used to check the quality of the stones?” Xu Que could do nothing but open the System to have communicate with it.
Ding! “Please upgrade the System to Version 5.0, so that the X-ray perspective machine will be available!”
“By the way, do you sell extraordinary powers? You even sell the powerful magic arts; you must have extraordinary powers for sale, right? I want a perspective eye!”
Ding! “Please upgrade the System to Version 8.0, so that the extraordinary powers will be available!”
“Sh*t! You’re making trouble! Why do you always ask me to upgrade the System? This must be a conspiracy!”
Xu Que was quite unwilling to do that. However, if he didn’t upgrade the System, he could really do nothing!
But after the upgrades, his Acting Tough Points, over 80,000, were at risk of being used up.
This is really annoying!
“All right, all right, you win! Just upgrade the System to Version 5.0 directly!” Finally, Xu Que was forced to give in to the System!
And he was not only focusing on the X-ray perspective machine. The most important thing was that a function of the name “Lucky Aura” would be available after Version 5.0 of the System was activated, which might give him unlimited luck to suppress the bad luck brought on by Jiang Hongyan!
Ding! “20,000 Acting Tough Points were consumed. The System was upgraded successively. The current version is 4.0.
“Star Rank magic arts are available in the Mall.
“Magical artifacts with levels from six-star to ten-star are available in the Mall!”
Ding! “40,000 Acting Tough Points were consumed. The System was upgraded successively. The current version is 5.0.
“More mechanical equipment and instruments are available in the Mall!
“More vocational skills are available in the Mall!
“The system has unlocked the function of ‘Lucky Aura’!
“The system has unlocked the function of ‘Debt Collector Beats Debtors’!
Ding! “The System found the 8,000 Acting Tough Points borrowed by the host ‘Xu Que’ have been overdue for one year, and nothing was paid back by the host! The host shall pay off the principal and the interest, which is 20,000 Acting Tough Points, within ten days; otherwise, the System will activate the function of ‘Debt Collector Beats Debtors’!”
“F*ck!”
Hearing that, Xu Que cursed loudly and was ready to spit in anger.
Damn it, no one is wise at all times! I was set up by the System!
No wonder the system always asked him to upgrade; its purpose was to activate the function of “Debt Collector Beats Debtor” after being upgraded to version 5.0!
Even worse, a year ago he had borrowed 8,000 Acting Tough Points, now he was being asked to pay back 20,000 Acting Tough Points! Damn! Only a fool would pay you back!
“What’s the matter?” Liu Jingning and Buttface were startled by Xu Que’s sudden cursing at the same time.
Xu Que waved his hand and said in a cold voice, “Nothing. I just remembered that someone is going to beat me in ten days.”
“Who is that?” Liu Jingning and Buttface asked simultaneously.
“Don’t worry, just a few people I borrowed from. Let me tell you, I hate loan sharks the most, especially those debt collectors who often hit others in the genitals. If I see them, I’ll stab them to death with an eel!!”
“Ah?” Liu Jingning and Buttface were totally dumbfounded and didn’t understand what Wu Que was talking about.
“Forget it!” Xu Que shook his head to shake off his anger.
At this time, the waiter led them through the empty buildings to a huge arched door!
The entire door was covered by a faint blue halo, as if a clear stream was flowing on it and giving off intense Spiritual Qi with its ripples.
“My Lord, you will have arrived at the venue of the Stone-Cutting Convention by passing through this door. Please come in!” the waiter smiled warmly.
Xu Que nodded and looked at Liu Jingning abruptly, then asked with a smile, “By the way, little sister, what did you say just now? I’m here to donate the Spirit Stones, right? Hehe, let me tell you, from this moment onward, if I choose another piece of useless stone, you can write my family name, Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction, upside down!”
