Seeing this, the innocent-looking little girl tugged at Zhang Zhe Kai's arm and whispered, "Zhe Kai, I want to go look at other places. Let's go."

Zhang Zhe Kai snorted and left with the innocent-looking girl.

The staff picked up the fabric from the ground and put it back in the cart: "I'm so sorry..."

"It's not your fault, no need to apologize. But you were really brave just now..." Yunqi gave her a thumbs up again, "I think he was practically fuming..."

The staff member smiled and said, "You've already made your selections and are ready to pay, but he's trying to 'steal' them. I can't let him get away with that!"

"If he complains about you, will it affect you? Should I explain this to your supervisor?"

"Thank you! You are beautiful inside and out, but it's alright. Our supervisor is not someone who can't distinguish right from wrong, so don't worry."

"Okay, then come find us if you need anything. We'll be here today."

"Okay, thank you."

"You are welcome."

After saying goodbye to the staff, Xiao Mo asked his assistant Liu to send someone to deliver the raw materials back to S City.

Yunqi stared thoughtfully in the direction Zhang Zhekai had left.

"What's wrong with Xiao Qi'er?"

Yunqi leaned close to Xiao Mo's ear and whispered, "I just saw it. When Zhang Zhe Kai was holding that piece of wool, tiny specks of light were slowly entering his body..."

"'Light spots'?" Xiao Mo's expression hardened. (In the cultivation world, one can indeed store one's [attack] into a jade slip, which is equivalent to storing [energy] in it.) "So, the energy Zhang Zhe Kai needs is in this jade?"

Yunqi nodded affirmatively.

“Let’s go,” Xiao Mo said, pulling Yun Qi along. “Now that we know the source of the energy, of course we should go and cause some damage.”

Yunqi grinned: "Don't we look like the 'big villains' who are making things difficult for the 'male lead'?"

"Naughty!" Xiao Mo tapped Yun Qi's nose. "Here, there are no villains or not, only 'those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish'."

Yun Qi laughed: "You're making you look even more like a villain! What male lead would say something like that?!"

Xiao Mo took Yun Qi's hand and kissed it: "I will only be your 'male lead'."

"Ugh, this is so greasy!"

Even though she said that, Yunqi's face still turned red.

At this moment, Assistant Liu led several bodyguards over: "President, we have already sent someone to return the raw materials."

"Um."

Basically, Yunqi bought up all the slightly better raw materials with clearly marked prices; the remaining raw materials were either of poor quality or of low quality.

Now only some materials are left for auction, waiting to be bid on. All the rough stones, window-polished stones, and semi-transparent stones are waiting to be auctioned in the auction area today.

Xiao Mo could also sense the jade inside the rough stone, but he wasn't as accurate as Yun Qi.

Xiao Mo could sense that his strength in this world had been weakened. If he rashly used a power that did not belong to this world, he would definitely be kicked out of this world.

Therefore, in order to stay in this world, Xiao Mo would rather be an "ordinary person" (although this "ordinary person" is already more powerful than 99% of people).

Yunqi watched Zhang Zhekai selecting raw jadeite from afar. To her surprise, Zhang Zhekai had chosen a fine piece, roughly the size of a football, with a piece of icy jadeite the size of an adult's fist in the center. How could Yunqi have missed such a gem?!

When Zhang Zhe Kai's hand touched the rough jade, countless tiny points of light emerged from the fist-sized jade inside, slowly seeping through the outer skin into Zhang Zhe Kai's palm...

However, the speed was really slow; it took almost a minute for one small dot of light to enter Zhang Zhe Kai's palm...

Is it because the outer shell is too thick that it affects the absorption rate?

The staff wouldn't let him touch the fabric indefinitely.

However, Zhang Zhe Kai didn't seem to notice the small point of light entering his palm. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the rough stone, seemingly having spotted a fist-sized piece of jade inside.

Yunqi waved to Assistant Liu: "Assistant Liu, I'm giving you a chance. Go and buy that football-sized piece of raw material before Zhang Zhekai. There might be something good inside!"

Assistant Liu nodded and stepped forward, saying, "Waiter, I'll buy this piece of raw jade. Here, swipe your card."

Assistant Liu handed the card to the waiter.

Zhang Zhekai was furious: "This is the raw material I've got my eye on. Even if you want to buy it, there's a first-come, first-served rule, isn't there?!"

Assistant Liu feigned doubt and said, "Sir, haven't you been looking around the whole time? You didn't say you wanted to buy anything. Since you didn't say you wanted to buy anything, what's wrong with me buying it?"

"You! You're being unreasonable! I want this piece of raw jade. Waiter, swipe your card!" With that, Zhang Zhe Kai handed his card to the waiter.

"Well..." The waiter looked at the two of them with a dilemma. "How about we give it to him, sir, and you can look at other options?"

Zhang Zhe Kai was furious. The waiter actually wanted him to give up his spot when he had clearly chosen it first! He hadn't felt this frustrated since he gained X-ray vision.

Zhang Zhekai's eyes were bloodshot: "How could you do this job! Go and call your boss here!"

A crowd of onlookers gathered around. Zhang Zhe Kai was furious and wouldn't let it go, unaware that the little girl was tugging at his sleeve. The little girl felt embarrassed but couldn't bear to part with Zhang Zhe Kai, whom she had just hooked up with, so she could only stay silently by his side.

A man in a suit walked into the crowd: "Hello, I'm the manager here. What's going on here?"

The waiter, as if finding a pillar of support, recounted the whole incident: "This gentleman had been looking at this rough jade stone, and then another gentleman came over and said he wanted to buy it. This gentleman disagreed, saying that he had liked this stone first and wanted to buy it too. This gentleman said that he was just looking at it and hadn't decided to buy it, so since he had said he wanted to buy it first, it should be sold to him first. But this gentleman said that he had liked it first and wanted to buy it too, and then they started arguing."
