Dear Commander-in-Chief - Chapter 278
Chapter 278: The Most Expensive Stone In The Hall
Fifty thousand color points in exchange for a chance to activate a new skill at the last minute!
As the new skill was activated, Gu Qiqi suddenly felt a splitting pain in her mind.
Behind her, Gu Yuanyuan had already chosen the stone she wanted to buy.
She was gloating.
It was a medium-sized material in the shape of a basin.
The price was also moderate. It was 100,000 dollars.
Due to the obvious green skin on the outer skin of that uncut stone, everyone felt that it would be open up to reveal a big piece of jade. Many people were interested.
She estimated that after a round of fighting, she could get hundreds of thousands.
Gu Yuanyuan raised her neck and glanced sideways at Gu Qiqi, who seemed to be standing there in a daze.
“Hey, country bumpkin! Didn’t you say that you wanted to play casually? Choose! Are you dumbfounded? If you don’t understand, I can teach you. You have to choose uncut stones with green…”
Before she could finish speaking…
Gu Qiqi’s expression suddenly became lively.
She regained her confidence and powerful aura.
An indescribable and terrifying sharp gaze flashed across Gu Qiqi’s big black grape-like eyes.
She didn’t care about Gu Yuanyuan’s encouragement at all. She didn’t even take a look at that basin jade raw material. Instead, she directly placed her slender and fair hand on the largest raw material in the venue.
It was a raw stone that was as tall as a person!
Gu Yuanyuan drew a cold breath.
No way. That country bumpkin had taken a fancy to this piece.
Did she have to have such good taste?!
That huge rock was very big. Even if it was made of ordinary jade, it would be superior in quantity.
Furthermore, the green that seeped out of the skin was very pure and transparent. It made people envious just by looking at it. It could be seen that the quality inside was quite good. At least, it was above the ice jade. It was very likely to be a glass jade!
As a jade enthusiast who had just entered school, Gu Yuanyuan naturally knew that this boulder was the best in the entire venue.
But she didn’t choose it.
Because its price was also the highest in the venue.
The starting price was one million dollars.
How could she bear to!
But that country bumpkin Gu Qiqi was actually willing to!
Gu Yuanyuan was furious. Huge waves surged in her heart.
Wasn’t her original motive in suggesting stone gambling to embarrass that country bumpkin Gu Qiqi?
Gu Qiqi, who only had 500 dollars left in her body, couldn’t afford good untrimmed quarry stones. She thought she could only watch as she opened dazzling and expensive gems.
She would naturally use money and IQ to crush Gu Qiqi.
But now, the direction of the events… had actually deviated from her intentions so far.
If Gu Qiqi bought the largest stone, she wouldn’t get any credit.
Seeing that the customers were all looking at Gu Qiqi enviously and all of them wanted to get close to this little tycoon, Gu Yuanyuan finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Wasn’t it just a million-dollar raw material?
It wasn’t a loss for her to sell it after she bought it!
“What a coincidence. Do you want this too? Then, we’ll give it to the highest bidder! I’ll offer 1.1 million!” Gu Yuanyuan raised the price by 100,000 directly.
Gu Qiqi remained calm.
She only used her fair hand to gently touch the surface of the huge rock.
She looked… reluctant.
Gu Yuanyuan’s heart skipped a beat and she felt a little uneasy. “Hey, country bumpkin, can you afford it or not…”
“2 million dollars.” Gu Qiqi shouted the price directly.
Gu Yuanyuan was stunned.
Gu Xuexue was also stunned. In her mind, the image of Gu Qiqi competing with her for herbs in the pharmacy of the Qing Cheng Medical Hall back then and conning her of a large sum of money surfaced.
Why was it similar!
“Sister Yuan Yuan, don’t…” She tried to remind her.
However, Gu Yuanyuan’s eyes had already reddened from the bidding. Instead, she felt that Gu Xuexue was very naggy. This huge rock was valuable to begin with. It was worth it even if it was doubled. Furthermore, it was more worth it to use this opportunity to strike down Gu Qiqi’s arrogance.
She blurted out. “2.5 million!”
