Apocalyptic Disaster: I Hoard Billions in Supplies and Kill the Saint

6: Chapter 6 Space TestingThe upgrade of the space actually requires jade stone?

Her gaze subconsciously fell on her wrist, where a warm, white jade stone bracelet was worn on her slender wrist.

This was a keepsake left by her mother, which she had worn since childhood. After the Apocalypse, she had fought with her life to protect this only memento.

”This, I absolutely cannot touch.”

Ye Nanxing murmured softly, her palm gently stroking the bracelet, her eyes firm.

But upgrading the space is necessary; if she didn’t use her mother’s keepsake, how else could she obtain jade stone?

Her thoughts raced, and suddenly, she remembered something—

The jade stone bracelet that Zhou Yixuan had given her!

Ye Nanxing walked quickly to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and rummaged through a pile of miscellaneous items.

A few seconds later, a pale green jade stone bracelet appeared in her palm.

This bracelet was a gift Zhou Yixuan had given her on their dating anniversary.

In her previous life, she had always thought it was high-quality jadeite and had worn it for a whole year.

But back then, did Zhou Yixuan even have the financial means to buy something like this?

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, a trace of sarcasm showing in her eyes.

”Zhou Yixuan, this ’real jade stone bracelet’ you gave me, is it real or fake?”

With a thought, the bracelet instantly vanished from her palm and entered the space.

A few seconds later, feedback from the space came to her mind—

[Invalid item, cannot be absorbed]

Ye Nanxing was stunned, then let out a cold laugh.

”It really is fake.”

Zhou Yixuan always said things like, ”I am absolutely sincere to you; even the gifts I give you are chosen with the utmost care.”

As it turned out, even the jade stone was a fake?

The mockery in her heart spread, and she casually squeezed it.

With a ”crack,” the bracelet shattered into several pieces, which she casually tossed into the trash can.

This kind of garbage is too much of an eyesore to keep!

But this experiment verified one fact—

The space can identify the authenticity of jade stone!

Ye Nanxing leaned against the table, tapping it lightly, her mind beginning to race.

In her previous life, there were too many fake and synthetic jade stones on the market, which were hard for ordinary people to distinguish, and only experts could recognize them.

But now, she didn’t need professional knowledge at all.

As long as she used the space, the truth would be revealed immediately!

If that were the case...

She could completely buy up real jade stones that were mistaken for fakes at a low price and then resell them at a high price!

She could make money and upgrade the space, killing two birds with one stone!

Her eyes gradually became sharp, her fingertips tightened slightly, and she already had an idea in her mind.

Black markets, second-hand markets, jade stone wholesale shops... these places often had many jade stones that were underestimated by people.

No!

There was another place that was definitely a paradise for this cheat code!

jade stone gambling!

As long as she was willing to get involved, making money would be as easy as breathing!

No sooner said than done.

Ye Nanxing changed into low-key casual clothes, tied her hair into a ponytail, put on sneakers, shouldered a canvas bag, and drove straight to the old town jade stone market.

The old town of this city was one of the famous jade stone trading hubs in the country, with various jade stone shops and vendors scattered throughout the streets, including both legitimate businesses and many second-hand markets for ”picking up bargains at low prices.”

In her previous life, she had no interest in these things, but in this life—jade stone was her survival chip!

After parking the car, she walked into the jade stone market, which was bustling with noise and excitement, and the various jade stones on the stalls shimmered with a warm luster under the lights.

The vendors’ hawking voices rose one after another—

”Authentic Hetian jade stone pendant, limited time special offer!”

”Full green jadeite bracelet, you’ll definitely have face wearing it out!”

”Old-pit glass species, wholesale price!”

Ye Nanxing walked past several stalls nonchalantly, her gaze sweeping over the jade stones on the stalls, a thought stirring slightly in her mind.

She decided to test the accuracy of the space’s identification.

She casually picked up a ”mutton-fat jade stone” pendant priced at 999 yuan and asked expressionlessly, ”Boss, is this really mutton-fat jade stone?”

The boss immediately piled on a smile: ”Of course! Miss, look at this jade stone quality, warm and translucent; 99% of customers say it’s good!”

Ye Nanxing smiled slightly and asked directly, ”300 yuan, will you sell it or not?”

The smile on the boss’s face stiffened slightly: ”Miss, this is real jade stone, your price...”

”Fine then, 500.” She said in an indifferent tone, making a gesture to put down the jade stone.

The boss gritted his teeth and finally nodded: ”Fine, 500 for you.”

Ye Nanxing took out the money, and after the transaction was completed, her fingers moved slightly, and the pendant instantly vanished and entered the space.

[Invalid item, cannot be absorbed]

It’s fake.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she put the pendant into her pocket calmly.

Then, she continued to visit several stalls, successively buying five or six pieces of jadeite, bracelets, and pendants labeled ”Natural Grade A,” and put them into the space one by one for testing.

Result: All fake!

In less than half an hour, Ye Nanxing had lost nearly 3,000 yuan.

This method of testing was something she couldn’t afford at the moment.

Ye Nanxing shook her head helplessly; these vendors were indeed ”always cheating with jade stone,” and finding something real here was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

It seemed this path was not going to work.

But just as she was about to leave, her gaze suddenly swept over an inconspicuous corner stall.

An old man wearing reading glasses was leisurely drinking tea, the jade stones in front of him were placed messily, and he seemed not to care about business.

Ye Nanxing walked up and casually picked up a featureless greenish-white jade stone plaque; it felt warm, but the surface bore some traces of time.

”How much for this piece?”

The old man looked up, squinted at her, and said indifferently, ”Miss has an eye for things; this is an old jade stone, the quality is average, 500 yuan.”

Ye Nanxing flipped through it casually, and a different message came from the space—

[Absorbable item discovered, expected to upgrade space by 0.3%]

What’s going on??

Ye Nanxing was a bit stunned; could the space be played like this?!

Her heartbeat accelerated slightly, but her face remained calm: ”300, will you sell it or not?”

The old man smiled and took a sip of tea: ”Little girl, you are bargaining too hard.”

”350 at most.”

The old man was silent for a moment, seemingly not caring about that little bit of money, and finally nodded: ”Alright then, I’ll sell it to you.”

Ye Nanxing took out the money, and after the transaction was completed, Ye Nanxing used the cover of putting it into her bag to put the jade stone plaque into the space.

[Absorbable item discovered, absorb?]

”Absorb.”

Ye Nanxing confirmed decisively in her mind.

The space did not have any obvious changes, but the speed at which the spiritual spring water bubbled up seemed to be a little faster than before.

It really can absorb it!

Ye Nanxing suppressed the excitement in her heart, continued to sweep around, and according to the space’s prompts, bought a few more inconspicuous old jade stones.

After this round of testing, Ye Nanxing discovered that as long as she was within 20 centimeters of a real jade stone, the system could detect it and provide a prompt.

As long as she could find a real jade stone, the most direct method was to put the jade stone in her hand, so the space could detect it immediately.

There was no need to buy it in advance and put it in to identify it.

This completely saved her the cost of trial and error.

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Ye Nanxing’s eyes; the next step was jade stone gambling!

”Ding—”

Ye Nanxing took out the phone from her pocket.

The caller ID showed Aijia Real Estate Agency.

”Ms. Ye, the buyer has been confirmed. We can sign the contract today, and the funds will arrive tomorrow.”
