Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Do You Dare to Resist?! [Please Add to Favorites, Please Recommend]

Do you know the feeling of having food right in front of you, yet not being able to eat it?

Before, the wealthy second-generation kids didn’t know. Now, they do!

Have you ever seen a picture?

It’s like being tied to a tree, with a string attached to your junk, the other end of the string tied to the trigger of a handgun, the barrel aimed at your head, and as soon as you get hard, pulling the string will fire the gun, and you’re done for!

Yet right in front of you, there’s a naked, bare-skinned, bubbly beautiful woman, seductively dancing and posing!

Just ask yourself, would you get hard?

Dare you get hard?

Now, the food before them is like the beautiful woman.

Their plans shattered, failing to get the Shadow, causing these rich kids to lose face, that’s the handgun!

Speak!

Make your choice!

Do you want the woman or your life?

Do you want the meal or your face saved?

Of course, it’s life and face you want!

For this group of rich second-gens, face is as important as life!

Since they’ve already endured half an hour, what’s a bit more time!

Let’s settle this quickly!

So, a bunch of wealthy second-gens could only reluctantly put down their chopsticks, force a smile, and look towards Lu Xiaobu.

”Young Master Lu, you’ve finally arrived!”

Qi Xingdong said with a forced smile.

That smile was incredibly sorrowful!

”Let’s go, how shall we play?” Lu Xiaobu was relaxed, rubbing his belly, his face slick with oil: ”I’ve eaten and drunk my fill; it’s uncomfortable not to spend lavishly.”

”Gurgle!”

A chorus of stomach grumbles from the wealthy kids, their faces turning green!

”Pfft!”

Wu Qianmin, Zhou Jingyuan, Liang Lan—they all tried to suppress their laughter, shaking like they were having convulsions!

Young Master Bu is just damn talented!

Only Young Master Bu could make a group of rich kids watch food they can’t eat with hungry bellies!

”It’s simple, we go in and look for antiques, see who can find the most valuable one,” Qi Xingdong quickly said.

He couldn’t wait to slowly tease Lu Xiaobu with words and bluntly stated: ”Of course, since we’re playing, let’s raise the stakes. If I win, I’ll give my antique to Young Master Lu; if Young Master Lu wins, he gives each of us a Shadow phone, how about that?”

Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment: ”That’s a huge loss for you! How much would a Shadow phone for each of you cost? Your antique is worth much more.”

So their goal all along was to get the Shadow!

”No worries, we’re out to have fun, so let’s not care about the money, as long as we’re happy,” Qi Xingdong said quickly.

We can’t stay here any longer; the smell of the food keeps wafting into our noses!

”I like what you said. Just for that, okay!” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Seeing that Lu Xiaobu agreed, everyone, as if pardoned, quickly moved towards Antique Street.

Stepping onto Antique Street, out of sight and out of mind, their hunger subsided a lot, and they showed relieved expressions.

But at that moment, a whiff of fragrance entered their nostrils.

”Gurgle!”

Their stomachs started rebelling again!

When they turned around, their faces turned green!

Damn it!

Lu Xiaobu, weren’t you full?

Why the hell are you still munching on a big crab?!

”Mmm, this crab is so delicious. Look at this meat, so tender, oh my, and there’s crab roe too!”

Lu Xiaobu smacked his lips as he spoke.

Several rich second generations are drooling over this!

Their faces are so green they’re turning purple!

You damn eat, but do you have to give a commentary?

Also, when you walk, what’s the point of deliberately swaying in front of us?

Afraid we can’t see it?! Can’t smell it?!

You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you?

Even the hot-tempered Lu Cheng is about to lose it!

Even the seasoned Qi Xingdong can’t stand it anymore!

He quickly made his way to the target and purchased the antique he’d had his eye on.

”Boss, I’ll take this, it’s two million, right?”

This is a Songhua stone inkstone from the Qianlong period.

After getting his hands on the Songhua stone inkstone, Qi Xingdong let out a sigh of relief.

Actually, his father had taken a liking to this inkstone yesterday, and after returning, couldn’t stop thinking about it all night long and wanted to buy it.

So he took the initiative to undertake the task and seized this opportunity to snag a few Shadow Skills!

If he couldn’t buy it, his father would beat him to death!

Right when he had just purchased it, an old man darted out, saw this scene, and immediately slapped his thigh in immense regret: ”What a pity! I’m a step too late!”

As soon as the antique shop owner saw the old man, he couldn’t help but laugh: ”Old Wu, I told you yesterday that someone had their eye on it, you didn’t believe it, now it’s gone.”

”How was I supposed to know you were telling the truth! Besides, the price you asked for was indeed a bit high!” Old Wu’s eyes fixed on the Songhua stone inkstone in Qi Xingdong’s hand, murmuring to himself: ”The last auctioned Songhua stone inkstone only went for 1.29 million! And you’re asking for 2 million!”

”Old Wu, for an experienced antique collector like you, not knowing the price would go up. And this item is certainly better than those others.” The antique shop owner chuckled with delight.

”Go away, I don’t want to deal with you.”

Old Wu waved his hand and said to Qi Xingdong, ”Would you mind if I take a moment to appreciate this? I won’t damage it.”

”Of course, of course, my father has always spoken highly of you.”

Qi Xingdong was now passing the Songhua stone inkstone deferentially, like a grandson, not daring to retort.

”Who is this?” Lu Xiaobu asked Liang Lan.

”He’s the most famous antique collector and expert appraiser in our city; everyone in the collecting world calls him Old Wu,” Liang Lan hurriedly whispered.

”Oh, he’s quite a big shot,” Lu Xiaobu nodded in recognition.

”Ah, such a fine piece.”

Old Wu, caressing the Songhua stone inkstone, exclaimed in admiration:

”Look, the jade-green body of the inkstone, and on its surface, the soft, drifting brush strokes, like gentle waves dancing in the spring breeze, silently still amidst motion.”

”Around the sea of the inkstone, the Kui Dragon Pattern winds tightly, securely grasping a surging pool of water...”

”Especially skillful is the making of the inkstone box, carved from bi-colored Songhua stones - yellow gold and milky white - in Kui Dragon Pattern forming a Seal script letter for ’longevity’.”

”And in the strokes of the character ’longevity’, two Chi Dragons carved from milky white stone, playfully weaving through, are particularly lifelike!”

”One portrays a looking-back-in-startlement pose.”

”The other has its upper body turning back suddenly, while its lower half is still burrowed inside the longevity pattern.”

”Look at that, their mutually affectionate nipping, almost as if emitting frightening tearing sounds... beautiful, beautiful indeed!”

Old Wu’s commentary made even Lu Xiaobu, who knew nothing about antiques, feel attracted to the piece, clearly showing Old Wu’s real expertise!

”Old Wu, I would like to ask for your help with something. What do you say?”

Qi Xingdong shifted his gaze and said reverently to Old Wu.

”Hmm... alright.”

Old Wu couldn’t really refuse, especially after just being shown respect by Qi Xingdong.

”Thank you, Old Wu. Actually, it’s just that I made a bet with this person. We each pick an antique on Antique Street and see whose is more valuable.”

Qi Xingdong emphasized the word ’one’.

Old Wu frowned slightly, obviously catching the implication, but he didn’t say anything and just silently nodded.

”Do we even need to compete?” At that moment, Li Qiang and Zhou Jingyuan walked in from the doorway, holding two jade plates, saying confidently: ”This set of Jade Plates cost us three million seven hundred thousand.”

Just now, both of them had left the group to look for antiques for Lu Xiaobu. With Zhou Jingyuan’s wide-ranging experience, they wouldn’t be easily swindled.

When Qi Xingdong saw those two jade plates, a smile immediately appeared on his face—he had anticipated this, Lu Xiaobu really did buy that set of Jade Plates, and he, Qi Xingdong, had already won!
