“Apple phones want money and copycat phones want money and they are all terrible!” After who knows how long it took, Lin Tiancheng woke up leisurely.
Lin Tiancheng charged his newly purchased mobile phone but it exploded as soon as it was charged. He felt as if his brain was hit by something and fell into a coma.
He opened his eyes, but there was no light. There was nothing but pitch black in front of him, yet in his mind, he could clearly feel a blue mobile phone screen with an ‘app store‘ on it. In the upper right corner of the phone screen, there is a battery symbol that shows the figure 33.
“This is… a mobile phone?” Immediately, overwhelming horror and shock hit Tianling Gai from the tail vertebra.
“Is this a mobile phone?”
“Lin Tiancheng, come down here!”
Hearing Wang Mengxin’s Hedong lion roar downstairs, Lin Tiancheng shook his head and his mind instantly regained clarity. With the help of the glimmer of streetlights outside, he hurried downstairs.
“What were you doing upstairs? Why was there a power outage in my store?” Wang Mengxin crossed her arms over her chest, looking fierce.
“I was charging my phone upstairs just now and my phone burst…”
“I don’t care about your phone. Do you know how much my store rents for a day? It is prime time now. You must fix it in one minute, otherwise I will deduct from you one month’s salary.”
Lin Tiancheng estimated that the short-circuit switch was tripped due to charging and replied, “Sister Xin, give me your mobile phone. I’ll check the main switch.”
“No power.”
When Wang Mengxin said that her phone was out of power, Lin Tiancheng could only go upstairs in the dark.
No way. Wang Mengxin held Lin Tiancheng’s Achilles heel (weakness) in her hand. One month of deduction means one month of deduction. Lin Tiancheng has mood to fix it at all.
Although Lin Tiancheng’s physical appearance has not changed in any way, the mobile phone screen in his mind has not disappeared. It seems so real.
“I didn’t become a mobile phone. Could it be that the mobile phone merged with me?”
In front of him, it was so dark that Lin Tiancheng thought of “App Store” and suddenly wanted to try whether the flashlight in “App Store” was useful. In his mind, it was easy to open the “App Store”, find the flashlight app and choose to download it.
A prompt popped up on the screen: Downloading the flashlight application requires 20 batteries. Lin Tiancheng didn’t even think about it and clicked download. Soon, the flashlight application was downloaded and a flashlight logo appeared on the blue screen in Lin Tiancheng’s mind.
Lin Tiancheng chose to turn on the flashlight with a little nervousness.
No light beams appeared but Lin Tiancheng found that his vision had become shockingly clear and everything in front of him was visible.
Lin Tiancheng came to the main switchboard. After a closer look, he found that the main switch had indeed tripped. He opened the plastic cover of the main switch and opened the tripped switch, and the power was restored immediately.
Lin Tiancheng turned around and suddenly froze up in shock.
“Just now, I – I saw the situation inside without having to open the plastic cover of the switch? Is this x-ray vision?”
“After repairing it, come down quickly. Or do you not work here?” Wang Mengxin came upstairs to see the situation. Seeing Lin Tiancheng had repaired the electricity, she urged him to go downstairs to see to the shop.
Wang Mengxin is the owner of Lucky Lai’s gambling store. She is said to be the owner but in fact, she is a few months younger than Lin Tiancheng. She has smooth skin and exquisite features. Today she wore a black close-knit sweater and the tight-fitting clothes perfectly outlined her upper body’s curves.
Looking at Wang Mengxin in front of him, Lin Tiancheng’s face suddenly stiffened, and his face flushed immediately.
Just now, his eyes have lingered on Wang Mengxin’s body, and her clothes became transparent one by one. What Lin Tiancheng didn’t expect was that Wang Mengxin, who was petite, had so much capital.
“What are you looking at?” Seeing Lin Tiancheng staring at her chest in a daze, Wang Mengxin asked with a cold face.
A new perspective! It’s really see-through!
Lin Tiancheng ignored Wang Mengxin, his face full of excitement, and quickly went downstairs.
Wang Mengxin runs a stone gambling shop.
When the rough jadeite is mined, it is covered with a layer of weathered leather. It is impossible to know the quality of the jadeite inside. The quality of the jadeite can only be known after cutting.
There is no scientific and technological method to identify whether there is jade in the rough stone. You can only infer its value based on the external features of the rough stone. No matter how critical the appraiser is, when it comes to betting on rocks, it is mostly luck.
Lin Tiancheng wants to know whether his flashlight’s ability can see through rough stones. If he can win every gamble, he’d earn a huge profit!
Stone gambling in Wang Mengxin shop is divided into full gambling and semi-gambling.
Full gambling means all bets are on a piece of rough stone. No one can judge whether they have jade inside or which kind of jade they own. This kind of stone betting is all luck.
There is also semi-gambling. One can choose from semi-cut stones and the seller will wipe a window on the stone to partially see the situation inside.
However, the price of stones for semi-gambling is very high. Even if the jade is cut out of it, the money earned is limited.
Particularly in Wang Mengxin’s shop, she never cuts the material for full gambling. If she is really optimistic, she will secretly cut it. If she cuts out jade, it will be hers. Even if the stone is cut down and there is no jade, she will not throw it away. It would be used to pit the layman’s money.
If Lin Tiancheng had x-ray vision, of course he would be interested in a lucrative gambling business.
After going downstairs, Lin Tiancheng stared at one of the gambling stones and was immediately ecstatic; although there was nothing in this stone, he had confirmed that he could see through the rough jadeite!
Next, Lin Tiancheng looked through all the optimistic gambling materials in Wang Mengxin’s shop.
What disappointed Lin Tiancheng was that among so many gambling stones, there were very few stones with emeralds in them. There was no way that Lin Tiancheng would only focus his eyes on the full-gambling material.
When Lin Tiancheng’s gaze fell on a piece of basketball-sized, semi-gambling material, his heart jumped.
In the middle of this piece of material, there was a piece of jade the size of an egg and it’s water is very good. According to Lin Tiancheng’s experience, the value is probably more than 100,000.
Lin Tiancheng suppressed his excitement, pointed to the half-gambling material and asked casually, “Sister Xin, how much is this material?”
“You don’t have eyes for yourself?” Wang Mengxin rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Tiancheng said awkwardly, “I mean, if I buy it, how much will it cost?”
“Are you rich?” Wang Mengxin immediately lifted her eyes up and stared suspiciously at Lin Tiancheng.
Lin Tiancheng sent an Apple 7 to his girlfriend but he bought it in installments. He even bought a knockoff for himself.
However, as long as this rough stone is cut out, he will have money, at least one hundred thousand, which is definitely an astronomical figure for him.
Lin Tiancheng said, “Can you…”
“No, no.”
“I haven’t even asked.”
“You’re not allowed anyway and I don’t want to listen.”
Lin Tian wanted to ask Wang Mengxin to credit this gambling stone to himself, but looking at Wang Mengxin’s appearance, it is impossible to credit it.
Anyway, as long as he can see through it, he wasn’t in a hurry to bet on rocks. After thinking about it, Lin Tiancheng said, “Sister Xin, my girlfriend is celebrating her birthday today. I have invited some classmates and it may cost some money. I would like to advance one month’s salary.”
Wang Mengxin looked at Lin Tiancheng with incredulity and said, “Salary advance? From where do you get your salary? Do you know that your salary has been deducted until 2026?”
