152: Buy jade

“You are all right. According to the planned route, we do indeed need more safety equipment!”

As a professional, Zhao Hao had already made up his mind when Su Ran spoke.

He looked up at the street scene outside and said, “How about this? After we finish breakfast, we’ll look around nearby!”

“I noticed when we came earlier that the shops around this scenic area are diverse. Besides firearms and ammunition, everything else should be easy to find.”

Yang Fan also nodded and said, “He is right about that. Just now, I even noticed a few shops selling exotic stones and antiques, some even involving a bit of stone gambling!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lei, who was next to him, immediately looked at him warily. “What are you trying to do? You’re not thinking of gambling on stones again, are you?”

“No, no, I just said it casually. Last time I gambled on stones, I lost several million. I won’t gamble again.”

Yang Fan quickly waved his hand.

But only Su Can noticed that his eyes were flickering. People who like to gamble, unless they lose everything, will always be unable to resist sooner or later.

“I don’t care, I’ll be watching you!” Zhu Lei snorted.

“Then the route is set. Let’s eat quickly, and then gather some equipment nearby!”

Zhao Hao finally made the decision, and everyone readily agreed, quickly finishing their food.

After breakfast, everyone vied to pay the bill, but in the end, Zhao Hao paid.

People who can go on adventures generally have financial freedom and don't care about the small amount of money for a meal.

Everyone didn't insist and left together, wandering around nearby.

“Su Can, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so quiet? Don’t you have any thoughts?”

Following behind the crowd, Su Ran deliberately kept a little distance and quietly asked Su Can.

Su Can smiled upon hearing this, “This Zhao Hao is very professional. I have nothing to add. We’ll just adapt as we enter the mountain!”

“Alright then!”

Su Ran nodded and also focused her attention on the surrounding streets.

Just as Zhao Hao and the others said, the area around the scenic spot was diverse, with all sorts of things for sale, which was quite attractive.

Even Su Can was gradually drawn in, concentrating on wandering around the scenic area, looking for things that interested him.

Soon, he saw a jade and antique shop, and his heart stirred.

If it were before, Su Can might have just glanced at a jade and antique shop and walked past.

But now it was different. The Zu Zi Secret among the Daoist Nine Secrets described countless formations, restrictions, and talismans.

And the most common carriers for these formations, talismans, and restrictions were jade artifacts.

Now that he had encountered one, Su Can planned to pick a few high-quality jade stones and try to make some protective talismans.

Even if he didn't need them himself, they would still be good to give to his friends and family.

Thinking of this, Su Can walked into the jade and antique shop without hesitation.

“Su Can, what are you doing?”

Su Ran was walking when she suddenly felt someone was missing beside her. She turned her head and saw Su Can walking into the jade and antique shop, and immediately called out.

Hearing her call, Zhao Hao and the others also turned their heads to look.

“What is he trying to do?” Zhao Hao frowned, somewhat displeased with Su Can's self-willed behavior.

On the other hand, when Yang Fan saw Su Can entering the jade and antique shop, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly walked over as well.

“I’ll go take a look too!”

“Yang Fan, what are you trying to do again!”

Seeing his demeanor, Zhu Lei also quickly chased after him.

Because this jade and antique shop also offered a small number of raw stones for tourists to gamble on for fun.

She was afraid that Yang Fan would once again get caught up in his gambling addiction, and she wouldn't be able to stop him. Not only would it waste everyone's time, but he would also lose his own money.

“I’m just going to see what Su Can is doing. You guys do what you need to do. We can just meet back at the car later.”

Yang Fan completely ignored Zhu Lei’s shouts and plunged straight into the shop.

Seeing this, how could Zhu Lei feel at ease? She also followed him into the shop.

Su Ran also went in with them. She had invited Su Can to come along, so she couldn't leave him alone.

Moreover, her reason for finding people like Zhao Hao was, to put it plainly, for logistical support or to have someone to rely on if they encountered trouble.

Deep in the mountains, she believed that only Su Can could truly find the medicinal herbs for her.

Seeing that four out of the total eight people had now entered the jade shop, Zhao Hao, despite his displeasure, had no choice but to wave his hand and say,

“Let’s go, we’ll follow and take a look too!”

The other three exchanged glances and could only follow.

Meanwhile, Su Can had entered the shop and was already speaking with a staff member.

“Sir, what kind of jade are you looking for? Is it for antiques, or for wearing as decoration?”

“We even have consecrated ones, and we have certificates of consecration!”

The attendant said with shining eyes as he introduced the items to Su Can.
