Chapter 1

"Hey, young man, you hit someone and still want to run away?" Outside a mall in Ziyang City, an old man suddenly fell beside a young man, grabbing his trouser leg tightly and wailing.

"Damn." Seeing the old man, Wang Feng knew he was about to be extorted. He hadn't even touched the old man. Wang Feng had seen many such incidents on TV, so he quickly decided to fall to the ground as well.

"Hey, are you blind, old man? Hurry up and compensate me." Wang Feng kept wailing, drawing the attention of many people, making the old man open his eyes wide.

Clearly, the old man hadn't expected to encounter a fellow scammer. The young man looked quite honest, but he didn't expect him to pull such a move.

"Kid, are you sure you want to do this?" the old man threatened in a low voice.

"Let me tell you, I only have ten yuan on me. Even if you want to extort me, I have no money. Anyway, a barefoot person isn't afraid of a shod one. There are surveillance cameras here; let's see how you deal with the police when they come." Wang Feng said smugly.

"Then give me the ten yuan quickly." The old man urged.

Ten yuan is better than nothing, and the old man knew he was in the wrong, so he decided to take the money and leave.

"Here, take it." Wang Feng took out ten yuan from his pocket and threw it at the old man's face.

"Hmph, you got lucky today." With the ten yuan, the old man stopped pretending and got up, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"Funny, is my money so easy to take?" After the old man left, Wang Feng opened his hand, revealing a greenish-orange jade pendant he had taken from the old man's pocket when he wasn't paying attention. If not for this, Wang Feng wouldn't have given him the money.

Who knows where the old man got this jade pendant, but exchanging ten yuan for a jade pendant was definitely not a bad deal.

Holding the jade pendant, Wang Feng smiled smugly and then blended into the crowd, entering the mall.

However, he hadn't walked far when he suddenly felt a heavy sensation in his head and fainted on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Wang Feng unconscious, the nearby pedestrians were shocked, and many even stayed away, fearing they might be extorted.

Wang Feng couldn't hear the others. At that moment, he felt as if he was having a very long dream. In the dream, he stood at the peak of the nine heavens, enjoying the worship of all, feeling more powerful than any emperor.

However, the dream didn't last long, and Wang Feng soon woke up. Opening his eyes, he saw several people surrounding him, their faces full of concern.

"You're finally awake. Wait a moment; we've already called an ambulance for you." A middle-aged woman said gently upon seeing Wang Feng wake up.

"Thank you, I'm fine now." Wang Feng spoke, quickly getting up from the ground and disappearing into the crowd.

Going to the hospital would cost money, and he had less than two thousand yuan on him. If he went to the hospital, he might end up being treated to death.

Hospitals these days are more corrupt than anywhere else.

Feeling in his pocket, he was relieved to find the jade pendant still there. He worked at a small company with a monthly salary of less than three thousand yuan, and he hardly saved any money after normal expenses. Seeing a jewelry store nearby, Wang Feng walked in directly.

"Waiter, call your boss. I want to sell this jade pendant." Wang Feng said, drawing many curious glances.

"Please wait a moment." The female waiter responded and then called the store manager.

"If you really want to sell this jade pendant, our store is willing to offer you twenty thousand yuan. What do you think?" The store manager examined the jade pendant Wang Feng gave him and said.

"Twenty thousand it is." The jade pendant was taken from a scammer for free. Even ten thousand yuan would have been acceptable.

The transaction was successful, and Wang Feng left with twenty thousand yuan, feeling secretly pleased. The old scammer probably never expected to lose so much by extorting ten yuan.

However, the one who made the most profit was actually the store manager. The jade pendant was made of very high-quality jade, and he offered such a low price because he didn't think Wang Feng knew its value. He didn't expect Wang Feng to actually sell it.

"What's going on over there?" With twenty thousand yuan in hand, Wang Feng was about to leave but stopped after a few steps. He noticed a crowd gathered at the other end of the jewelry store.

Chinese people love to watch the spectacle, so Wang Feng couldn't help but go over.

"Damn, another five thousand yuan wasted." A loud curse echoed, and upon looking, he saw a middle-aged man cursing at two pieces of broken stone in front of him.

It turned out to be a jade stone gambling game...

Jade is cut from stones, and this jewelry store was selling recently excavated jade stones, attracting many citizens to try their luck.

Wang Feng had seen jade stone gambling on TV but had no intention of participating because he saw it as a way to lose money, with a winning chance similar to buying a lottery ticket.

"Miss, your eyesight is excellent." A shout of admiration came, and Wang Feng saw a beautiful woman successfully cut out a thumb-sized piece of jade, drawing the envy of many onlookers.

Jade is a valuable item. Although the piece the woman cut out was only thumb-sized, if made into jewelry, it would be worth a lot.

This piece alone was probably worth tens of thousands of yuan.

Looking at the raw stones, Wang Feng felt a bit excited. After all, everyone dreams of hitting the jackpot, and Wang Feng was no exception. If he could cut out a piece of jade, wouldn't he become a wealthy person overnight?

"Huh? What's this?" Looking at the raw stone, Wang Feng suddenly saw a chaotic scene, which startled him.

Soon, a green hue appeared in his vision, making him widen his eyes. At that moment, he actually saw the jade inside the raw stone.

He took several steps back, almost falling to the ground. What was happening? How could he see inside the raw stone?

Recalling his earlier fainting spell, Wang Feng's eyes widened. Could it be that his fainting gave him some kind of X-ray vision?

With intense curiosity, Wang Feng spent six thousand yuan to buy the raw stone he had chosen.

"Miss, can you help me cut this?" Holding the stone, Wang Feng approached the beautiful woman who had successfully cut out the jade.

"Sure." The woman looked at Wang Feng with a hint of surprise but still helped him.

Soon, the raw stone was cut open, revealing a palm-sized piece of jade, making everyone nearby widen their eyes in disbelief, even the woman who cut it couldn't believe that the man had chosen a stone that yielded such a large piece of jade.

This... This luck is just too good, isn't it?
