64: Chapter 64 Why is the Treasure Appraisal Divine Eye malfunctioning? Xiao Fan questions his existence.

"Bang!"

Xiao Fan was thrown out like a bag of sour trash by two burly security guards from the antique street, landing heavily on the curb outside Panjiayuan.

"Get lost! Don't let me see you on this street again!"

The security guard cursed, clapped his hands, and turned back into the market.

Xiao Fan lay beside a greasy trash can, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He raised his head, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at the bulletproof Maybach that had already sped away.

Humiliation, anger, unwillingness!

It was like a raging fire burning and colliding crazily in his chest!

Five hundred million!

It was his chance to defy the heavens and change his fate, his only hope to get ahead and trample those who looked down on him!

And it had been snatched right out of his hands, just like that, as if he were a monkey being toyed with!

"Bastard! Can a rich second generation really do whatever he wants?!"

Xiao Fan slammed his fist into the trash can beside him, his knuckles bleeding, but he seemed unable to feel the pain.

He gasped for air, his eyes gradually becoming sinister and crazed.

"No! I still have the system! I still have X-ray Vision!"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground.

"Since that bastard stole my windfall, I'll just go somewhere else and earn this money back with interest!"

"Once I become a billionaire, the first thing I'll do is find someone to kill you!"

Xiao Fan straightened his torn clothes, his eyes flashing with a gambler's red gleam.

Near Panjiayuan, besides antiques, there was only one place that was the most profitable and exciting.

That was the capital's largest underground raw stone trading market—the "Cuiyunxuan" Gambling Stone Arena!

"As long as I use my X-ray Vision to see through those stones and cut out a top-quality Imperial Green, isn't tens of millions or even a hundred million within reach?"

The more Xiao Fan thought about it, the more excited he became; he didn't even care about the abrasions on his legs and almost ran towards the gambling stone arena.

Meanwhile, inside Qin Yuan's smoothly driving Maybach.

[Ding! Detected the third Child of Destiny, Xiao Fan, heading to the 'Cuiyunxuan' Gambling Stone Arena, attempting to use his X-ray Vision system to make a comeback!]

The system's notification sound rang out right on time.

Qin Yuan leaned back in his leather seat, toying with the treasure bowl fragment worth five hundred million, a mocking sneer curling the corner of his lips.

"Still trying to gamble on stones to make a comeback?"

"Do you really think you can walk sideways in this world just because you have an X-ray Vision cheat?"

Qin Yuan turned his head to look at Gu Qianqian, who was eating a lollipop.

"Qianqian, does our Qin Family have shares in the underground banks here in the capital?"

"Yes, Big Thigh!" Gu Qianqian said, typing on her keyboard without even looking up.

"The largest lending company behind Cuiyunxuan is an industry that our Second Uncle from the Qin Family has invested in."

"Very good."

Qin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, a cold glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"System, consume 10,000 points of Favor Value."

He muttered in his heart.

"Exchange for the high-level item [Destiny Shielding Field]."

"Coordinates: Capital Cuiyunxuan Gambling Stone Arena."

"Effect: Forcibly interfere with all supernatural detection abilities related to 'destiny' within the area and create false images!"

[Ding! Exchange successful! The field has covered the target area, duration: 24 hours.]

Qin Yuan put away the system panel and looked at the streetscape retreating outside the window.

"You know the rules for loan sharks, right?"

He said nonchalantly to Tanlang, who was driving.

"As long as that kid dares to borrow money, let him borrow it. The more he borrows, the better."

"When he loses everything and goes bankrupt, make him pay with his life, principal and interest included."

Half an hour later.

Cuiyunxuan Gambling Stone Arena was bustling with noise.

The ear-piercing roar of cutting machines, mixed with the gamblers' cries of ecstasy and despair, filled the massive factory with an adrenaline-pumping atmosphere.

Xiao Fan squeezed into the crowd, his eyes reddened with excitement.

He took a deep breath and shouted in his heart: "System! Activate X-ray Vision!"

"Buzz!"

The familiar cooling sensation washed over him again.

Xiao Fan's vision changed instantly.

The grey, ordinary-looking jade raw stones that were originally there...

At this moment, they began to emit colorful lights in his eyes!

"White light... no goods, it's waste."

"A bit of green light... waxy variety, not worth much."

Xiao Fan walked quickly past the stalls like an experienced inspector.

Suddenly.

His footsteps came to a sudden halt, his gaze locked firmly on a massive, half-exposed raw stone next to a stone-cutting machine, weighing over a hundred pounds and priced at five million!

In Xiao Fan's X-ray Vision.

Deep inside that raw stone, a cluster of extremely rich, dazzling green light that seemed almost ready to drip water burst forth!

"Hiss—! Full green! It's definitely a full green of ice variety or higher!"

Xiao Fan gasped, his heart beating uncontrollably!

If this stone was cut open successfully, it would be worth at least tens of millions, maybe even a hundred million!

This was simply a comeback artifact sent to him by the heavens!

But...

Xiao Fan touched his pockets, which were cleaner than his face, and his eyes dimmed again.

With a principal of five million, he couldn't even come up with fifty.

Just as he was scratching his head in anxiety.

"Little brother, did you take a fancy to this piece?"

A bald man wearing a floral shirt, a thick gold chain around his neck, and a fleshy face approached with a smile.

He patted the raw stone, his tone full of temptation.

"This is a new pit material that just arrived from Burma. The skin is tight, the pythons are clear, it's definitely a high-yield piece!"

"I can see you have a good eye. If you're short on cash, I can provide some 'bridge funds' here. The interest is negotiable."

This was a "vampire" who specialized in loaning money at high interest in the gambling stone arena.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Fan would avoid him as much as possible.

But now.

In his X-ray Vision, that dazzling cluster of green light seemed to be beckoning to him, crazily stimulating his greedy nerves!

"As long as I cut out the ice variety full green, this bit of interest is nothing!"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, his mind completely overwhelmed by the desire to get rich overnight.

"Okay! I'll borrow it! Five million! I'll use my ID and student ID as collateral!"

A flash of imperceptible cunning crossed the bald man's eyes, and he readily took out the IOU.

"Deal! Sign it and press your thumbprint, and this stone is yours!"

Ten minutes later.

Amidst the curious or watching gazes of a group of gamblers around.

The raw stone, weighing over a hundred pounds, was fixed onto the massive cutting machine.

"Zzzzt—!"

The ear-piercing cutting sound rang out, and water splashed everywhere.

Xiao Fan clenched his fists tightly, staring fixedly at the cutting line that was gradually deepening.

"Rise! Give me a big rise!" He shouted madly in his heart.

He had already started imagining the shocked and envious gazes of the people around when he cut out the top-quality jade in a moment.

He even fantasized about using this money to trample that rich second generation who snatched his chance!

"Click."

The stone was cut in half and fell heavily to both sides.

The cutting master turned off the machine and rinsed the cut surface with clean water.

The whole place instantly fell into a deathly silence.

The ecstasy on Xiao Fan's face froze the moment he saw the cut surface.

It was as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over his head, chilling him from head to toe.

No dazzling green light.

No transparency of the ice variety.

All he could see was a piece of white, dry stone slag; there wasn't even a trace of green!

"It collapsed! This damn thing is a dead stone!"

"Hahaha! He spent five million on a pile of brick material, this kid is a pure sucker!"

Bursts of uproarious laughter and undisguised mockery erupted around him.

"No... impossible!"

Xiao Fan rubbed his eyes in disbelief and activated his X-ray Vision again to look.

However, no matter how he looked, that stone still emitted that alluring green light under his X-ray Vision!

What is going on?!

The X-ray Vision clearly saw top-quality jade, so why did it turn into waste after being cut open?!

"It must be the wrong cutting angle! Master, cut it again from the middle!"

Xiao Fan roared desperately like a gambler who had lost his mind.

"Zzzzt!"

The cutting machine started again.

The result was still a patch of white.

"This... how is this possible..."

Xiao Fan's legs went weak, and he slumped onto the muddy, rock-strewn ground, his mind blank.

"System! System! What the hell is going on?!"

He screamed madly in his heart, but the system was like it had crashed, without any response.

He refused to believe it!

He thought there was something wrong with this stone.

"I want to borrow more! Lend me another ten million! I've taken a fancy to two more pieces!"

Xiao Fan's eyes were bloodshot, like a lunatic who had completely lost his sanity, and he grabbed the bald man by the collar.

A cruel sneer flashed in the bald man's eyes, and without a word, he made him sign two more huge IOUs.

However.

The next half hour became the darkest nightmare of Xiao Fan's life.

Ten times in a row!

Every single one collapsed!

The "top-quality raw stones" emitting dazzling light that he saw in his X-ray Vision were, without exception, all worthless waste stones after being cut open!

"Fake... it's all fake..."

"My X-ray Vision... my system... is it buggy?!"

Xiao Fan knelt in the middle of the crushed stones, clutching his head and pulling his hair in pain.

Fifteen million!

Not only did he not earn a penny, but he also carried a sky-high loan that an ordinary person couldn't pay off in several lifetimes!

He completely broke down.

Why is this happening?!

Just as he fell into extreme despair and doubt about his life.

"Clap."

A rough, large hand slapped heavily on his shoulder.

Xiao Fan raised his head.

The bald man, who had been smiling just a moment ago, now had a different expression.

He brought a dozen thugs holding gleaming machetes and steel pipes, surrounding Xiao Fan tightly.

The bald man looked down at him, using the back of a blood-stained knife to gently and insultingly pat Xiao Fan's pale face.

"Kid."

The bald man's voice, like a death warrant from hell, was cold and bone-chilling.

"The fifteen million in high-interest loans you borrowed, with principal and interest, is now twenty million."

"Tell me, which organ do you plan to use to pay it back?"
