Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

Chapter 111 Star and Moon Gathering

"Boss, you have a really sharp eye. You actually picked out such good stuff at first glance."

However, when Wen Yao chose this stone, many people from the Dragon Kingdom shook their heads at her, hinting at something.

"You haven't shown any performance at all; this boss is just treating you like an idiot!"

Some people have spoken out boldly and directly.

At this point, the shop owner had already taken the stone out of the cabinet.

"Boss, look, there's still one more bracelet slot here!"

The shop owner pointed to the larger side and spoke to Wen Yao, but was unwilling to use the jade lamp to illuminate it.

"Make a price."

The boss hesitated for a moment, then mustered up his courage and said a price.

"A flat price of 20!"

Wen Yao calmly shook her head.

"This stone is worth 20?"

The boss felt deep down that there was nothing to be gained from this stone, so he quickly gave in.

“My stones are all top-quality. Here’s what we’ll do: you can give me 15.”

"5."

Even at 5, it's still a bit higher than the price the boss had in mind.

"5 yuan isn't even enough to get the goods."

"If you're not selling, then I'm leaving?"

Wen Yao remained calm. Although she didn't understand raw stones, this market was like that, specifically designed to rip off tourists.

"Okay, okay, 50,000 it is!"

The boss looked like he was enduring pain.

Just as Wen Yao was about to take out cash from her bag, Song Zhiqian grabbed her wrist.

"Hey, you just said that to me, do you think it's worth 5? You're not allowed to buy it!"

Song Zhiqian didn't know much about the goods; he was just upset that Wen Yao hadn't let him buy them.

Wen Yao slapped his hand with a "smack".

"Let go, this is my money. I can spend it however I want. Did you bring any money with you?"

Song Zhiqian brought a bunch of clothes with him this time, but didn't bother to exchange any money, since Wen Yao was taking care of his food and drink.

Song Zhiqian was speechless after being rebuked; this was the first time the dignified young master Song had been told he was broke.

Since the Spirit Feather Coins had a relatively large denomination, Wen Yao quickly took out 5 yuan in cash and gave it to the boss.

The shopkeeper happily took the money, said a few words, and then handed the stone to Wen Yao with satisfaction.

Congratulations, host! You have successfully completed the mission!

Mission Reward: Smoke Grenades + Smoke Goggles. The items are already in the host's inventory. Simply pull the safety lock to activate the smoke grenades. There are five in total; the host can use them as needed.

Wen Yao frowned. Could this thing really come in handy?

[Host, why don't you check where you are right now? The situation on Lingyu Island isn't exactly peaceful.]

Wen Yao looked around.

"No, I think it's quite peaceful."

No sooner had I said that than a loud bang was heard.

At this moment, everyone looked towards the mountain not far away.

"what happened?"

A local said

"Oh, it's a civil war. It's alright, they just fire a cannon every now and then, it's kind of scary."

Wen Yao was almost speechless with shock. This was a civil war, and Wen Yao had never experienced war before.

Which two sides are fighting?

"The Crescent Moon Army of the Crescent Moon Society, and the militia supported by the Danley Foundation."

Wen Yao and Song Zhiqian both opened their mouths wide at the same time.

"Your conglomerate even has a militia?!"

The local people are used to it.

"Don't your conglomerates have militias?"

The shopkeeper next door reminded him.

"They're from the Dragon Kingdom, a very peaceful country where everyone lives a good life."

A hint of envy flickered in the shopkeeper's eyes.

"Oh, I forgot. You Chinese are amazing. The president of the Star Moon Society is from China."

Wen Yao raised an eyebrow, even more surprised.

"Does that mean the Chinese army is fighting a militia of a conglomerate?"

"Yes, the Star Moon Society has been established for almost a hundred years."

At this moment, the cannon fire stopped. It was the first time Wen Yao had ever heard such a sound, and it was truly shocking.

The nearby shops remained unaffected by the gunfire and continued doing business.

There were many stone-cutting bosses at the entrance, surrounding Wen Yao.

"Boss, come open a shop at our place. I've been a professional jade dealer for 20 years."

"Boss, our house has good feng shui, it's auspicious, come to our house."

Wen Yao didn't rush to open it, but instead prepared to leave with Song Zhiqian.

The system tells her to buy only the best items. It's precisely because they're high-quality goods that she doesn't dare to open them on the street. She can go back and find Shengming to contact a reliable stone shop before opening them.

Song Zhiqian couldn't help but complain

"No, you're going to take it back to sleep? Where else can you drive if not here?"

"Shut up, or I'll send you back!"

Song Zhiqian then shut his mouth.

The two continued walking and arrived at another street, where most of the people were locals, and it was easier to experience the local customs and culture here than in front of the hotel.

"Holy crap, a bear!"

Song Zhiqian pointed to a stall that was selling bear blood.

Wen Yao shivered and dared not look in that direction.

The further you go, the stronger the local character becomes. Of course, it is very obvious that this is a bustling commercial street in Lingyu Kingdom, because luxury cars come and go one after another.

Suddenly a golden building appeared in front of us.

The building is decorated in a medieval European style, but it has signs on it saying...

"Yu Run Lou"

It's clearly a place that sells jade, and processed jade at that. Judging from the building's decor, there should be quite a few good pieces.

Wen Yao was about to go in and take a look when Song Zhiqian stopped her.

"Hey, look, that car over there is a Rolls-Royce Phantom."

A Rolls-Royce was parked in front of Yurun Building.

At that moment, a girl wearing a white court-style dress came down, holding a small dog in her arms.

"It's so beautiful, I want to go see it."

Song Zhiqian went up to strike up a conversation.

"Hello beautiful lady, you must also be from China, what a coincidence, I am Song Zhiqian, from the capital."

Song Zhiqian felt that the people riding in this car must know his name, since his family was one of the four major families, so he introduced himself as soon as he got in.

The girl frowned.

"never heard of that."

Song Zhiqian was utterly incredulous upon hearing this, and he sighed.

"It's okay if you haven't heard of me, your parents should have."

Seeing this, Wen Yao felt embarrassed and stepped forward apologetically.

"Excuse me, this is my assistant. He just joined Lingyu and hasn't seen much of the world."

Wen Yao got closer and saw clearly that the girl had snow-white skin and her forehead was covered by thick bangs. She was indeed quite pretty.

Where did you buy that stone?

Wen Yao glanced at the stone, which she had been holding the whole way.

"Jade Street".

The girl frowned, because only items that Yu Run Lou didn't want would end up on Jade Street.

"How much did you pay for it? I'll pay ten times that amount."

"Not for sale."

Wen Yao refused directly and bluntly.
