After waiting for more than twenty minutes, a man with a thick neck, a big head, and wearing a thick gold chain that could be used to leash a dog came in.

Upon spotting Zuo Ling, he reached out his hand from afar: "My surname is Shi. Is this the young lady looking for me?"

I never expected the famous Madman Stone to look like this.

The scholarly demeanor he displays online is completely different from the person I see in person.

The photos are unreliable, absolutely unreliable!

"Hello, Teacher Shi."

As Stone Madman shook hands, his eyes kept glancing in Stone's direction.

"This must be the stone the girl brought. Let me see."

He picked up a spray bottle and started spraying water on the stone.

Even though I'd seen the photos before, seeing the stone transformed again was still awe-inspiring.

Shi Fengzi got into character in a second.

Touch it with your hands, smell it with your nose, scrape it with a razor blade...

The rooster carrying Xiaoshi was lifted and placed on an instrument for various tests.

Zuo Ling was amazed by his serious demeanor; no wonder he was known as the "Crazy Stone."

Indeed, it is only when looking at stones that one can discern the demeanor of a master in the world of rare stones.

Several more people came in one after another and studied the stones that Zuo Ling had brought with Shi Fengzi.

An hour later.

Shi Fengzi walked up to Zuo Ling with a face full of excitement and said:

"Miss, let's talk in the conference room."

Zuo Ling didn't move: "Let's talk here."

Most owners don't want their stones out of their sight, which the stone fanatic understands.

"Okay, let's talk here."

He paused for a moment and said:

“Young lady, these stones of yours could fetch hundreds of millions at auction, but you couldn’t get that much from a private deal…”

I understand, it's about lowering the price.

Zuo Ling said directly:

"60 million, no bargaining. If you think it's acceptable, I'll give you an hour to raise the funds. If not, I'll take the stone and leave, and find someone else. I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to waste."

Shi Fengzi was honest enough to directly state the possibility of several hundred million, which gave Zuo Ling a clue.

60 million is quite cheap compared to several hundred million, so I'm not afraid that Shi Fengzi will disagree.

Shi Fengzi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Even setting aside the Rooster Embracing the Dawn Stone, the Three Deer Welcoming the Morning Sun Stone, if handled well, could very well fetch 60 million at auction.

Families of great wealth and status place great importance on feng shui.

The deer, symbolizing good fortune and longevity, has been a sacred creature in Feng Shui since ancient times, representing health, long life, prosperity, and flourishing.

It is easy to imagine the sensation this stone will cause once it is revealed to the world.

These two stones alone are already quite valuable.

Add to that malachite, fish-shaped stones, and stones depicting old men and children, and the profits are outrageous!

Shi Fengzi slapped his thigh:

“The young lady is straightforward, and I, Shi, am not one to dawdle. Okay, 60 million, I will transfer the money to the young lady right away.”

Twenty minutes later, Zuo Ling emerged from the Strange Stone Museum looking radiant.

She didn't care who Shi Fengzi ultimately harmed.

I just hope the people in the ancient village don't find out.

If they found out, they'd probably want to tear her apart.

They even gave her chickens, ducks, and geese—something I could never have dreamed of.

I glanced at my account balance; the more I spent, the more I gained.

Life is unpredictable. If things had turned out this way earlier, Zheng Ming wouldn't have run off with the rich woman.
