Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Little Ancestor Slaps Back, Second Wave!
"I’ve heard that the VIP in room 1 had great insight just now and secured the moonstone with medicinal properties. I wonder if the VIP in room 1 is interested in participating in the stone gambling event tonight? I sincerely invite you!"
There are two treasure appraisers on the stage.
One is not actually a professional treasure appraiser, but an expert in antiques, Professor Feng Tang, whom Di Ge managed to invite from the Imperial University with great difficulty;
The other is the nationally renowned top treasure appraiser "S" in the auction field.
It is said that the treasures appraised by "S" have a high chance of being extraordinarily valuable gemstones.
If it’s waste material, she would, in good conscience, have the auction house throw it away first.
So for this stone gambling event, "S" is the leading role, with Professor Feng Tang, the old scholar from the ivory tower, merely dragged in as a foil.
At this moment, "S" unprecedentedly, with implicit meaning, took the initiative to invite the VIP in room 1 to participate in the stone gambling.
The whole venue was in an uproar.
Both envious and jealous!
"Ahhhh, why didn’t my goddess S call my name? I’ve always been a loyal supporter of her!"
"Who is the VIP in room 1? Which big boss is it, that even goddess S shows special favor?"
"Damn, wait a minute, isn’t room 1 usually empty? Only someone like Fourth Young Master Nangong would qualify to be received in room 1... Could it be Fourth Young Master Nangong in there?"
Amidst a chorus of speculation.
Zuzi surveyed the hustle and bustle around the auction stage from her elevated vantage point.
The treasure appraiser "S" on the stage wore a brown work cape that concealed her figure and most of her face.
And the remaining part of her face was covered by a carved mask.
Even her voice was processed through a voice changer.
It can be said that she was shrouded in an extremely mysterious aura, the only evidence of her identity was a shiny silver treasure appraiser’s stamp in her hand, engraved with the "S" emblem of the Treasure Appraiser Association.
It was also her personal exclusive sign.
"This Ma Jia is really well-concealed!"
Xi Rubao managed to squeeze the little crow aside and sat beside Zuzi, exclaiming.
Sob sob, even Sister’s pet has a necklace to wear, Baby is envious inside, but Baby is sensible, Baby is not greedy!
The little crow flew up, full of vigilance, and said in a voice only Zuzi and Fu Xiqin could hear: "Could it be that the person who was competing with us for the moonstone was this guy? A treasure appraiser competing with us for something, doesn’t she have a bit of professional ethics?"
Fu Xiqin: "Exactly, exactly, now she’s inviting us to gamble stones, why does it feel like she has ill intentions? Ancestor already said there’s no good stones in there! We won’t play."
Zuzi lazily blinked her phoenix eyes: "Come on, we’re just sitting idle, since they’ve invited us, it wouldn’t be polite not to play."
Kid, you’ve successfully stirred up Ancestor’s playful spirit.
Fu Xiqin got excited: "Yeah, yeah, play with her, play her to death!"
The little crow: "... She’s the treasure appraiser, she doesn’t gamble stones herself, how are you gonna ’play her to death,’ you chatterbox idiot."
Fu Xiqin: "Oh right, Ancestor, how are we gonna play?"
Zuzi squinted her eyes, swept her gaze over the stones on the stage again, and chose a number: "55."
Xi Rubao got nervous: "Sis, are you going to bet on that tiny stone number 55? It’s so small, even my nearsighted eyes can’t see it clearly, how can it open into a gemstone?"
Zuzi smiled slightly: "If it turns out to be a beautiful gemstone, and you don’t want it, then I’ll..."
Xi Rubao immediately stood up straight: "Want, want, want!"
If not, it’ll end up on that pet again, sob sob!
