After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 220 - 216: Stone to Gold Skill Activation

Tang Yu’s face was a bit red; he had not had much experience chatting with girls—his company was mostly boys, let alone a sister who looked as sweet and delicate as Ji Tian. He even spoke more softly than usual: "You, if you like it, that’s good. If it’s not enough, I still have some ’Diamond Discount Card,’ brand-name purse discount cards—just say whatever you want, we have it all at my home."

Blessed by heaven with such a wealthy cousin, she deserved to make money.

She nodded solemnly: "Cousin, there’s no need for pleasantries among family. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to me, and I’ll do my best to help you resolve it."

Tang Yu looked at her serious little face and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. She was indeed cute. It was best for a young lady to be spoiled. Even if there were difficulties, he wouldn’t trouble Ji Tian.

But he still nodded in agreement: "Okay, with your words, I won’t be polite."

Ji Weinan sat on the couch feeling quite battered, while Ji Qilin looked at him helplessly. It was just a couple of test papers, yet why did he look as deflated as a frostbitten eggplant?

Just then, a servant brought in the basket of Gambling Stones that Tang Yu had sent, along with a Stone Opening Master.

He smiled and said, "Third Brother, pick three stones. If you’re lucky enough to get a priceless piece of jade, it’s all yours. What do you think?"

Ji Weinan immediately perked up: "Second Brother, really? If I get a good piece of jade, it’s all mine?"

"Uh-huh." He smiled with a twinkle in his eyes: "My word is my bond."

"Then I won’t be shy." He rolled up his sleeves and began to squat beside the crate, carefully picking and choosing.

He turned his head to Ji Lingyun, who was still fiddling with antiques, and called out: "Big Brother, do you want to pick a couple too?"

Ji Lingyun glanced over, then shook his head: "If it were antiques, I might consider choosing a couple, but I’ll pass on the Gambling Stones."

"Alright," he turned back and looked at Ji Tian: "How many will you pick?"

Ji Tian tapped her chin: "How many can I pick?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"As many as you like." Ji Qilin hummed with amusement, his tone affectionate.

There were more than fifty stones piled together in the basket, and selling all of them seemed rather unlikely. Ji Weinan picked the larger ones, while Ji Tian smiled and raised her eyebrows: "I have really good luck. I don’t want to bankrupt you, so I’ll just pick one."

Ji Qilin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

"Alright then, no backing out or crying later."

"I won’t."

Tang Yu watched the siblings bicker, a hint of envy in his eyes. Unlike him, with a silent, uncommunicative younger brother at home, from whom he could not get a peep—it suddenly made him not want to go back. The Ji Family was much livelier, with more people.

Ji Weinan hugged his three stones, satisfied: "Let’s open them."

Everyone gathered around to watch; Ji Tian intended to watch the excitement before proceeding.

The Stone Opening Master took the stones in hand and began to tap carefully with his tools. Soon, a spot of white jade peeked out from the inside, ending up as a small piece with lots of impurities, not worth much money but enough to make jewelry with.

Ji Weinan chalked it up to bad luck and proceeded to open the second one. The second stone at least revealed some green jade, but the color was too deep and not luminous enough to fetch much money.

He frowned: "I can’t just be this unlucky, right?"

Tang Yu shrugged helplessly: "Life and death are assigned by fate, wealth by heaven; gambling is all about luck."

Luckily, the third stone turned out to be decent jade, which was better than nothing for him.

Ji Qilin turned to look at Ji Tian: "Go make your pick."

Ji Tian squatted beside the stone basket, mentally summoning the King of Competition: "I want to use the ’Stone to Gold’ skill."

King of Competition: [The ’Stone to Gold’ skill can only be used once, are you sure you want to use it now, Host?]

Ji Tian nodded without hesitation: "Of course, my ’Laziness Power’ card is stuck at 39 and won’t budge. How can I level up without going out?"

[Okay, ’Stone to Gold’ activated. With this skill, you can pick the best stone out of thousands. Just touch them, and whichever one feels hot to the touch, choose that one.]

Ji Tian immediately reached out. The first one felt slightly warm, indicating that the jade quality might not be very good. She discarded it without a second thought.

Tang Yu, seeing that she had nearly touched every single stone in the crate, teased: "Can you really tell which stones are good and which are bad?"

Ji Tian replied confidently: "It’s called metaphysics. The one that feels right in my hand is the best one."

Until in the end, when she had touched the last stone, she actually went back and chose one of the stones she had touched earlier: "This one."

The stone in her hand was quite small, small enough to be encompassed by a palm. The surface was smooth, like a pebble. Some people liked to pick odd and extraordinarily ugly stones to gamble on luck, but a stone like the one Ji Tian held would often be overlooked. Too small and too polished, even if it contained jade, it would not be a large piece.
