Free Web NovelChapter 103: Chapter 101: Abnormal Change at the Base
Lu Feng frowned at the game screen. In the game, Lin Jiao was gathering the base’s combat personnel. It was clear something had happened at the base.
But with Master Kai and the other two present, he couldn’t just leave. Seeing that Liao Hong had finished appraising all the jadeite, he immediately asked, "Mr. Hu, the appraisal is complete. Which piece of jadeite do you plan to buy?"
How was Mr. Hu supposed to know which piece of jadeite to buy?
He was completely baffled.
He had previously thought that with 200 million in cash, buying a few pieces of jadeite wouldn’t be a problem.
Who knew the jadeite this President Lu presented would be so expensive? He could only afford a single piece, and some were even beyond his budget.
So, he could only look to Liao Hong for help.
Liao Hong directly picked up the Ice Type Bright Sun that he had appraised first and said, "Mr. Hu, how about this one? It’s more than enough for you to carve a Longevity Buddha, and the 200 million price is just right."
Seeing this, Mr. Hu could only say, "Then I’ll buy this one!"
Lu Feng nodded, drew up a sales contract on the spot, and sold the piece of Ice Type Bright Sun to Mr. Hu.
Naturally, the other party’s 200 million was transferred to his account using a USB security key.
He had already notified the bank that he would need to use these 200 million funds promptly, so the transfer went through without any issues and was completed very smoothly.
Because it was a private jewelry transaction, even taxes could be waived. frёewebnoѵēl.com
After the two completed their transaction, Liao Hong immediately asked, "President Lu, may I buy a piece of jadeite?"
Hearing this, Lu Feng nodded and said, "Of course. This jadeite is of little use to me. Frankly, cash is more practical."
Liao Hong’s face lit up with joy upon receiving the answer. He immediately picked up the piece of Ice Blood Beauty and said, "President Lu, I want this Ice Blood Beauty. This piece is worth 400 million. If you don’t trust my appraisal, you can have other appraisers evaluate it. We can complete the transaction after that."
"There’s no need for all that trouble. I trust you, Master Liao." Lu Feng smiled and replied. He didn’t want to waste any more time; he wanted to enter the game world as soon as possible to check on the situation.
Besides, for him to speak with such confidence, the price must be accurate. Otherwise, as the most famous Jadeite Appraiser in Tianzhou City, his reputation would be ruined.
So, he immediately made another deal with Master Liao, selling one piece of Ice Blood Beauty for 400 million.
This time, however, the payment was a bit more troublesome.
Master Liao hadn’t notified his bank in advance. He first had to make a call to a bank president before the funds could be successfully transferred to Lu Feng’s account.
This transaction left Mr. Hu staring at Liao Hong in shock.
You have to understand, he thought pulling out 200 million was already an incredible feat. How many people could come up with 200 million in funds?
Who would have guessed that the Jadeite Appraiser he had hired was so well-off, able to produce 400 million in an instant?
This was truly unexpected.
Liao Hong, however, was already excitedly admiring the Ice Blood Beauty, holding it lovingly as if he couldn’t bear to put it down.
Even Master Kai, who was standing to the side, was surprised.
He never imagined that the transaction value for a single piece of jade could be so massive, even higher than the value of the Gold he traded by the ton.
At the same time, he was even more impressed by the strength of President Lu’s connections.
Gold was one thing, but he never expected Lu Feng could find so many pieces of such high-grade jade.
Once the transactions were complete, Lu Feng subtly indicated that he had other matters to attend to.
Master Kai and his two companions were no fools; they smiled, said their goodbyes, and left.
The moment Liao Hong left the Tea City, he placed the Ice Blood Beauty in his car and hurriedly locked the doors.
After all, he was carrying a 400-million-yuan treasure.
If anything were to happen, it would be too late for regrets.
He only felt relieved after bringing the Ice Blood Beauty home. The first thing he did was take out his phone, film a video of the Ice Blood Beauty, and post it in a jadeite collector’s group chat.
"Let me show you all what a real treasure looks like. An Ice Blood Beauty, secured for 400 million."
As soon as the video and message were sent, the entire group chat erupted:
"Elder Liao, is this for real?"
"An Ice Blood Beauty? Has jadeite of this caliber appeared again?"
"There haven’t been any rumors of such jadeite for nearly twenty years."
"Lao Liao, I’m so jealous! For you to not only encounter but also buy such a rarely seen piece of jadeite!"
"..."
The group chat instantly became lively.
Everyone expressed their disbelief.
Because jadeite of this level was truly rare, its appearance would cause a sensation. However, under normal circumstances, the major jewelry corporations would be the first to get wind of it.
And those jewelry companies would immediately snap up the jadeite.
Just then, Master Liao sent another message: "As for jadeite of this quality, this time I saw a whole bag of it!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
’A whole bag?’
Seeing this message, everyone in the group chat was stunned.
Since when was jadeite of this caliber measured by the bag?
Immediately after, these people went into a frenzy, instantly asking about the source of this jadeite.
Meanwhile, Cheng Long, the president of a major bank branch, was also looking at the transaction information before him with a face full of emotion.
It was the bank transfer information for that very President Lu.
The man had just had 600 million in funds transferred in, and all of it was clean money.
In a short period, the funds in his account were approaching 1.4 billion.
This President Lu was absolutely the highest-quality client he had encountered in years. This alone would allow him to vastly exceed his deposit-pulling quota for the year.
Back in Qingfeng Tea City, after seeing Kate and the others off, Lu Feng headed to an office in the Tea City.
The Tea City was large, with management offices inside. As the owner, he naturally had his own office as well.
Entering the office, he locked the door from the inside and then turned his attention to the game screen in his mind.
What made him frown was that in just a short time, a large number of zombies had surrounded Qingfeng Base. The reason Lin Jiao was gathering the combat personnel was precisely to deal with these zombies.
Because the trenches hadn’t been dug properly, once the zombies reached the base of the walls, they began to slam into them frantically.
Although the zombies moved slowly, they were incredibly strong. If they kept ramming the walls like this, the damage would be significant. Lin Jiao had to lead her people to fight back.
Lu Feng felt something was wrong as he watched this scene. Under normal circumstances, zombies wouldn’t enter such an aggressive state unless they were attracted by some disturbance.
Moreover, he could see from the screen that these zombies were extremely agitated.
’This is very wrong.’
He immediately recalled Lin Jiao’s previous report. She had mentioned that the nearby zombies were acting strangely, becoming agitated.
Judging from the current scene, it seemed they were now actively attacking the base.
Lu Feng didn’t hesitate. With a single thought, he entered the game world, exiting the air-raid shelter and heading toward the manor community.
As he entered the community, the sound of successive gunshots reached his ears.
The combat personnel were shooting down the zombies that had rushed to the perimeter wall.
Lu Feng quickly found a high vantage point to observe the situation. But as soon as he got there, his eyes narrowed, and a look of disbelief instantly appeared on his face.
He saw a figure rushing forward at high speed. In a single leap, it bounded directly onto the perimeter wall of the manor community.
