Eyes followed Zhi Ruo's random movements, it was not only the cool blue eyes of the man behind her. The employee's actions had also change drastically. Now he was more respectful, but that didn't phase Zhi Ruo. Rather than him being respectful, Zhi Ruo prefers if he cuss her out. Because Zhi Ruo was slowly sucking all the precious stone on the establishment that he works on.

No one would come here if all the stones that opened was empty. Sure opening stones would have a 60% chance that it would be empty and 40% chance that it their would be something inside. Everyone knows that already, the establishment is built on that percentage. But imagine what if those percentage was shifted into 100% chance that it was empty and 0% chance that it has something in it.

Zhi Ruo was doing that exactly, she was picking out the stones that has something inside buying it and leaving blanks. Sooner then later the people would notice that no one was opening that has something inside. And by then the establishment would loose it's customer's. No customer's means no money, no money would lead the establishment going into bankruptcy and that leading into damaged reputation.

The establishment, like the others of it's kind was built on reputation. If many people were Opening stones that has something inside, it would be clear that the reputation would rise. Good reputation brings in customers. Even if the new batch of stone coming in, if Zhi Ruo was allowed to buy here then all of those would be harvested. It would be a done deal.

[ MP: 50/50 ]...

[ MP: 60/60 ]...

Just as Zhi Ruo was contemplating on snatching the stones on other's basket. A notification popped up on Zhi Ruo's face. She briefly raised her brows at the rise of her MP but she didn't bother with it and picked up two more stones. The speed of which she picks the stones were outstanding. Others couldn't help but stare at Zhi Ruo in disbelief.

And yet the stones that was put to be opened always had something inside. Every time a stone was opened the crowd would roar with delight. They would start bidding after earning Zhi Ruo's permission.

The two stones though was not as high ranked as the first one, was sold by 20 Gold papers. Zhi Ruo now has 59 gold papers but Zhi Ruo bought another two stone and it costed around 2 Gold papers. So all in all she had 57 Gold papers.

Those two stones were opened and those stones also have something inside. She put them on a bid again. Those two stones were sold in an outstanding price of 50 Gold papers. Zhi Ruo now has 107 Gold papers.

More and more people were curious as to what was happening inside. And thus decided to check what was happening. All they could see was Zhi Ruo sold about 4 stones and all of those stones have something inside.

Just as Zhi Ruo was picking up stones, a notification popped up.

[ Buy precious stones 5/100.....

Reward: 200EXP 1 stat rise to all stats.
Penalty: none. ]

"Fuh!" Zhi Ruo couldn't help but stifle a laugh, it didn't stop from letting the grin take over her face though. Those little actions of Zhi Ruo was recorded in Alberu's mind, he couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion. No matter how much he tries to understand the person that is in front of him he just couldn't get a hold of it. If he takes one step forward then Ashen would take a step that goes for a mile.
