Lilly countered, "Uncle, who are you and what''s your name?"
The man replied, "Huh? I''m Richie Quinn, the owner of The Lazy Pygmy..."
Richie suddenly realized he had inexplicably found himself honestly exining things to a little child,
his mouth seemingly out of his control.
He quickly added, "No, wait, I should be the one asking who you are..."
How did it end up with him speaking first??
Lilly waved her hand, her small face wearing a mysterious expression. "Oh well, it doesn''t matter. Let''s
not dwell on these minor details."
Lilly immersed herself in the names of others: Richie Quinn, such a wealthy name! Suddenly, she felt
that her name wasn''t as pleasant. She should be called Million... no, Billion!
Richie fell silent.
Edward, with his rough demeanor, said, "We all have the surname, Crawford. Do you remember selling
a bracelet to us a few days ago?"
Richie became wary upon hearing that.
They were here for the bracelet!
"Afterpleting the transaction, youe knocking on our door. Isn''t that against the rules?" Lilly
quickly interjected, "We didn''te for the bracelet..."
Pausing for a moment, she added, "Um, Uncle Richie, are you feeling okaytely?"
Lilly just wanted to catch a ghost.
But the male customer who was just spoken to suddenly felt ufortable. He interrupted with an
unpleasant expression, "Mr. Quinn, I don''t know if you''re feeling alright, but I''m not!"
Some people involved in gambling with raw stones detest signs of bad luck. It was evident that he had
just selected a stone, and Lilly imed he had made a big loss. That wasn''t a good omen.
Staring at Lilly, the man was displeased as he questioned, "Do you understand raw stones? This raw
stone is an Old Skin, with a green crust visible. There''s something inside! You know nothing and yet
you speak recklessly, bringing bad luck!"
Lilly opened her mouth to respond.
Josh eximed, "Holy crap! How dare you call my sister bad luck?!"
Edward narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms, and coldly observed the man.
Unexpectedly, the man continued toin. It could be said that when it came to matters rted to
gambling, people became fearless.
"That stone of yours indeed has nothing inside; I''m telling the truth," Lilly said, pointing at the other
stones on the stall. "It''s not just this stone; none of these stones have anything."
"Look at this one with a green surface—it''s glued on!"
Adults might consider whether they would offend someone, but Lilly spoke inly.
These stones were originally meant to deceive people.
As soon as the stall owner heard this, he exploded.
The Lazy Pygmy was Richie''s establishment, and Richie had one rule: no fakes or deceit allowed.
If the stones were directly transported from the jade mine, he wouldn''t interfere with buyers''
satisfaction.
But if someone intentionally deceived others, not only would they be expelled, but they would also have
topensate.
The Lazy Pygmy had be the "boss" in this line of business, attracting everyone precisely because
of this. They weren''t afraid of encountering fraudsters here...
That''s why the stall owner detested Lilly and quickly said, "How can you speak like that? These stones
were directly transported from the mine. The crusts are all natural. How can you say there''s nothing
inside?"
In the world of stone gambling, after mining the jade, the remaining stones from the edges are
transported and sold at low prices to jade enthusiasts. During the mining process, all visible jade is
taken, leaving behind stones with some traces of jade material. Some stones may not show anything
on the surface, but when cut open, they reveal a full jade interior.
This thrilling pursuit of striking it big attracts people to the world of stone gambling. And where there is
stone gambling, there are strategies. The surface of the stones, referred to as "skin" by insiders, is
used to specte on the presence of genuine material inside.
For example, "Old Elephant Skin" is a stone with a surface that resembles elephant skin, with folds and
a loose, grayish-white appearance. It is often believed to contain high-quality jade. Buying an "Old
Elephant Skin" stone for a hundred thousand and discovering high-quality jade inside can lead to
selling it for a million, resulting in overnight wealth.
However, stones with valuable contents inside are rare. They are usually picked out in the mining fields
long before others have a chance to find them. So, the practice of creating fake skins emerged as a
deceptive method.
The stall owner looked at Richie, feigning a smile, and said, "This child is talking nonsense. Everyone
knows Mr. Quinn''s rules. I wouldn''t dare toe here if I were to engage in such deception."
In reality, he was trying to make a big profit precisely because fakes were not allowed here. If someone
suspected him, he would simply say, "Who doesn''t know Mr. Quinn''s rules? Would I dare to deceive
people?"
Richie frowned and looked at the stones on the stall, his expression turning cold. He asked, "Where did
youe from? Who approved your inspection?"
Richie temporarily forgot about Lilly because this person had vited his rules. Someone was
engaging in such activities right under his nose!
The stall owner harbored resentment deep inside and pointed at Lilly, saying, "Mr. Quinn, it''s just this
child speaking nonsense. If you don''t believe me, I can pick up any stone and cut it open right now!
Even if I don''t make any money and suffer a loss myself, I need to prove my innocence!"
He nced at Lilly and immediately picked up a stone that had been prepared in advance.
Lilly took a nce...
She didn''t need to calcte; she already knew that this stone was genuine.
She silently watched his performance.
Several people gathered around, excitedly eximing when they saw the green color inside the stone,
"There''s jade! It''s there!"
"Oh my goodness, it''s high-quality jade with excellent rity! This is a fortune!"
The stall owner felt a pang of regret.
Indeed, this stone contained something inside, but he had already examined it using technical means
and found only a small amount of desirable material. Cutting further would reveal nothing. However, if
he didn''t cut it open and sold it to someone who didn''t know much about gemstones... he could have
easily fooled them into paying three to four hundred thousand.
Now that it had been cut open, those who understood stones could tell that there was nothing more
inside, and it could only be sold for slightly over a hundred thousand, deceiving those who were not
knowledgeable.
That''s why he disliked Lilly.
"You see, Mr. Quinn, I feel so wronged."
The stall owner casually blocked the stones that were fakes and pointed to the other genuine stones,
saying, "In Mr. Quinn''s establishment, who would dare to deceive? I wouldn''t challenge Mr. Quinn''s
rules!"
Others chimed in, "That''s right! These stones here don''t appear to be faked. Take a look at these."
"The owner can effortlessly open any of them and find jade. My goodness, I need to take a good look."
The gamblers were filled with excitement.
The stall owner immediately used Lilly, "Just a moment ago, this child was saying that it''s not just
my stall, but that there''s no jade in any of the stones here. But the one I opened has jade! So you see,
this child is just talking nonsense!"
Others echoed, "That''s right, what a bad omen!"
"Maybe this child has a gift for saying unlucky things. Let''s just ignore her."
Lilly, however, said, "How can you call it picking up a stone casually?"
Josh, seeing Lilly''s confidence, also spoke firmly, "That''s right, who knows if you had it prepared in
advance?"
"Are you willing to let us pick any stone casually and cut it open to see?"
The stall owner eximed, "How is that possible? Stone gambling is always a matter of luck. I''m here
to do business. If I let you cut open any stone you want, and I suffer a loss, can youpensate me?"
Before Richie could speak, he immediately drove them away, saying, "Go away! Where did these kids
He red at Edward.
Edward thought, "Oh? I''ve been restraining myself from hitting someone, and he dares to re at me?"
