78: The opponent's strength is beyond imagination.

Treasure Pavilion.

Facing Lilac's skepticism.

Chen Yang was very certain.

"Take a look first before you speak."

"Friendly tip: I just acquired this pottery horse at the Auction, and it only cost me 500,000."

"If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see the trick."

Hearing this, Lilac began to take it seriously.

After spending so much time together.

She had unwavering faith in Chen Yang's ability to find overlooked treasures.

She was deeply convinced.

If Chen Yang said.

It was a treasure, then it must be correct.

If she couldn't see it, then her own eyesight must be lacking.

She held a magnifying glass and squatted beside the coffee table.

She examined it inch by inch.

After a while, she shook her head helplessly.

"With my eyesight, I really can't tell what secret this object could hold, other than being a Qing Dynasty pottery piece."

After a pause, she added:

"Unless we invite Elder Gu to appraise it, perhaps... he might discover something?"

Chen Yang shook his head.

"No need!"

"It's not a matter of eyesight; this antique holds another mystery."

As he spoke.

He picked up a sharp, narrow knife from a nearby tool rack.

He immediately plunged it into the pottery horse.

"Ah!"

Lilac jumped in surprise.

She was both shocked and doubtful!

He had just called it a great treasure, so why was he damaging it now?

The other women.

Also watched Chen Yang's strange actions with curiosity.

Chen Yang sliced and peeled.

Soon.

A colorful, simple yet magnificent antique warhorse appeared before everyone.

Lilac's mouth dropped wide open.

She could definitely swallow a banana whole!

Han Feixue and the other women were also stunned!

Their gazes towards Chen Yang were full of admiration.

Chen Yang smiled and explained.

"This is a genuine Tang Sancai, and it is extremely rare."

"However, a Qing Dynasty antique enthusiast used the technology of that era to create an outer shell, concealing the treasure's true appearance."

"Now, it has finally seen the light of day and regained its brilliance!"

Lilac was extremely excited.

Rubbing her hands together.

She looked at the Tang Sancai, wanting to touch it, but afraid of damaging the antique.

"Are you really planning... to sell this great treasure to me?"

To be honest, this was a genuine treasure.

If kept, it could serve as a family heirloom.

Something that could be passed down for centuries.

No matter the time.

The value of a treasure like this would only continue to rise.

Chen Yang smiled and nodded.

"I brought it here, of course, to sell it to you. Did you think I was just teasing you?"

"Otherwise... wouldn't you suffer from insomnia again?"

"Tell me, how much money will you give me?"

Lilac seemed to recall something.

Her face flushed crimson.

She gave him a reproachful glare.

"What kind of person are you?"

"How does a peerless treasure like this turn into a vulgar object measured by money when it comes out of your mouth?"

Chen Yang waved his hand.

"Don't talk to me about elegance; I'm only interested in money."

Lilac thought for a moment.

"How about 50 million?"

Chen Yang beamed with joy.

"Big Boss Ding, it's rare for you to be generous and not give me a massive discount."

"But... since you're being a good person, why not go all the way and reimburse the 500,000 I spent on it too?"

Lilac felt defeated.

"Don't push your luck!"

"You're making a profit of 50 million, and you still care about this 500,000?"

Chen Yang chuckled.

"Even a mosquito's leg is meat!"

"How much more so for 500,000?"

"My wrangler only cost 600,000!"

In the end.

The two signed the sales contract, setting the price at 50.5 million.

"Ding dong!"

Transfer successful.

Chen Yang sighed with emotion.

Miss Ding was indeed a Big Boss.

Over fifty million, transferred instantly.

Her liquid capital was impressive!

Tallying his total assets.

Original balance: 18.9 million.

Spent 500,000 to buy the Qing Dynasty pottery horse.

Received 50.5 million for selling the Tang Sancai warhorse.

Current total wealth: 68.9 million.

Holy cow!

He hadn't even noticed he had become so rich?

system brother, thank you!

Without him, I would never have earned this much money in my lifetime!

[Ding!]

[Acquired 10 points. Current cumulative points: 650 points. Keep up the good work!]

Just as he mentioned the system.

It immediately popped up.

The points consumed for upgrading Secret Sound Transmission.

Were slowly recovering.

Seeing his money multiply and his points increase.

Chen Yang felt exceptionally fulfilled.

The trip to Caiyun City the day after tomorrow.

The funding issue was now resolved.

Just wait!

Entering the Stone Gambling Convention.

With Golden Eyes, it would be hard *not* to get rich, right?

Using kind words, he persuaded Han Feixue and the other women to leave.

Chen Yang stayed behind alone.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"Why are you being so mysterious?"

Lilac sat down across from him.

Using her own cute mug, she brewed Chen Yang a cup of premium Maofeng tea.

Seeing the tea leaves swirling in the hot water.

Chen Yang took a sniff.

"Mmm! It smells wonderful!"

"Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?"

Lilac rolled her eyes at him.

"Ungrateful wolf, when have I ever treated you badly?"

Chen Yang gave an awkward smile.

"From now on, every time I come, I want to drink the best tea."

Lilac snapped:

"Fine, Little Brother Yang, I'll save the best tea for you, just waiting for your honored arrival!"

After speaking, she sighed faintly.

Her mood plunged.

Chen Yang became serious and asked with concern:

"Tell me quickly, have you run into some trouble?"

Lilac let out a long sigh.

"Do you still remember when I invited you last time to accompany me to the Stone Gambling Convention in Caiyun City?"

Chen Yang nodded.

Lilac continued:

"As you know, our Treasure Pavilion is a family business with an enormous scale, boasting chain stores all over the world."

"The selection of the family heir follows a set of ancient rules passed down through generations."

"It is not passed down outside the direct line, and the capable are prioritized. There is no obstacle for women inheriting the family business."

"Currently."

"The older generation has retired, the fathers are focused on corporate development, and the competition for the third-generation heir has entered a fierce stage."

"In our generation, there are currently three people with competitive strength: besides me, there is my second grandfather's eldest legitimate grandson, the Ding Family's Young Master, Ding Qiufeng."

"And my third grandfather's only granddaughter, the Ding Family's Second Young Miss, Ding Feng."

"I am the only granddaughter of the main branch, and because my grandparents and parents were both Family Heads, I hold a slight advantage."

"However, the second and third branches have lost two rounds in a row, and this generation, they are going all out, determined to seize the right of succession to the Family Head position."

"So... you understand, right? My pressure is immense!"

Chen Yang nodded.

"The internal struggles within your large families are truly intense!"

"So, what problem are you facing now? And how can I help you?"

Lilac explained.

"According to the rules, all three of us have the right to succession."

"But who is ultimately chosen as the next Family Head depends on ability."

"The method of testing involves two trials."

"The first trial is this upcoming Stone Gambling Convention."

"The family has put up a heavy stake: whichever of the three of us achieves the greatest harvest at the Stone Gambling Convention will preemptively receive a 10% share of Treasure Pavilion's stock."

"With this 10% share, one can be considered to have established a firm footing within the family."

"Even if one fails the final stage, they can still become a member of the family's highest decision-making body."

"The second trial is the next Myanmar Jadeite Public Auction."

"Whichever of the three of us becomes the biggest winner will receive a 30% share, directly becoming the Family Head heir and Young Master of the Ding Family."

Chen Yang was full of admiration.

"Your family's rules are quite unique!"

"The person who ultimately wins must possess extraordinary ability, courage, foresight, and even connections, prestige, and personal charisma."

"It is both rigorous and full of wisdom!"

Lilac strongly agreed.

"The reason our Ding Family can continue and grow stronger is precisely because we strictly enforce a competitive mechanism where the capable rise and the mediocre fall."

"This time, I'm not worried about Ding Feng."

"I heard she has already secretly entered Myanmar to prepare for the future Jadeite Public Auction, focusing on the final battle."

"However, Ding Qiufeng, like me, remains domestically to accumulate strength."

"The most crucial point is—"

"I heard he has hired a formidable individual to serve as his military advisor for this trip."

"That person is known as 'Divine Eye' and is a recognized appraisal master in the stone gambling world."

"Someone in the family predicted..."

"Ding Qiufeng will surely win this Stone Gambling Convention!"
