"Is the value of this jade really that terrifying?"
After leaving the shop, Xu Yu didn't leave Taikang Road immediately. Instead, he went to several other shops to test the waters. After the shop owners quoted prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, even close to a million, Xu Yu finally understood the true value of the jade pendant in his hand.
Even though he had already realized the jade was worth more than ten thousand when he saw the middle-aged man and the young man surnamed Gu bidding against it, he was still shocked
. After all, it had originally been just a piece of jade worth a few hundred yuan. Half a day later, leaving the last shop, Xu Yu was still filled with excitement and joy. He even bought two pieces of inferior jade and headed towards his residence.
Now, he needed to fuse new jade and then sell it!
Excited, Xu Yu didn't notice that a black Mercedes was steadily following him about a hundred meters behind.
More than half an hour later.
Carrying a bag of food, Xu Yu arrived at his lodgings. As soon as he closed the door, he sat down on the edge of the bed and took out two newly purchased jade pendants.
These were two jade pendants, each about the size of a fingertip, covered in tiny flaws.
Looking at the pendants in his hand, Xu Yu didn't hesitate for a moment before checking his energy level. He was astonished to find that after half a day of activity, his energy was still only 5, not depleted at all.
"Huh?"
He was genuinely surprised by this result. Previously, he would consume about 1 unit of energy every half day of normal activity. Now, with his energy cap increased and his strength and condition improved, how could the rate of consumption have slowed down?
He didn't know that when he walked and strolled with nearly twice the physical strength of a normal person, the consumption on his body was naturally greatly reduced.
Even without knowing this, after a moment's thought, Xu Yu was still excited. He then drew up the two units of spiritual energy he hadn't used after the last fusion and began the fusion process.
With one unit of spiritual energy and one unit of physical energy, one of the two jade pendants quickly began to emit a slightly warm temperature again. After several tens of seconds, looking at the nearly perfect jade pendant in his hand, Xu Yu finally smiled.
However, he didn't stop at all and moved on to fusing with the last piece of jade.
When the second piece also became flawless, Xu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkling with spiritual light.
"If these two jade pendants were sold, their value would be around two million... However, I just returned from there today, and I've already attracted a lot of attention. If I were to take out two more such top-quality jade stones directly, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. I'll wait a few days before selling them."
Once he made up his mind, Xu Yu relaxed again. Waiting a few days was extremely easy for him. Then, thinking about it, he realized he still had three units of physical energy in his body, so Xu Yu immediately began to fuse with spiritual energy, fusing it into himself.
When the three units of spiritual energy were firmly established in the strange space in his mind, Xu Yu collapsed onto the bed with a thud and fell into a deep sleep.
"When I wake up next time, these three portions of spiritual energy will boost my energy a bit more. Then, with six units of energy, my abilities will truly be doubled..."
Just
as Xu Yu fell into a deep sleep, downstairs, a young man in a suit smiled and took out his phone to dial a number.
"Young Master Gu, we've found out. That person lives in a cheap urban village in the East District. His registration information says he's from Ningcheng."
"Hmm? A migrant worker from out of town, living in a cheap urban village, how could he possess such a precious jade? It seems this guy has really struck it lucky. Yu Ze, you keep watch there, look for an opportunity..." Upon hearing Yu Ze's words, a low chuckle immediately came from the other end of the phone.
Yu Ze chuckled along with him, and after hanging up, he turned and walked towards a restaurant across the street.
Keep watch outside, look for an opportunity, and steal that beautiful jade? It was far too easy for him.
He just needed to wait for that guy to go out again, to a less crowded place, and it would be a piece of cake.
A cruel smile crept across Yu Ze's lips as he sat down in the restaurant, ordered his meal, and began to eat.
But he had no idea that this wait would nearly drive him mad.
Eleven or twelve hours passed, and the other party hadn't stepped out of the building once more. Even with his usual boundless energy, after watching the building for eleven or twelve hours straight, he was on the verge of collapse.
"Damn it, what is this guy doing in his room? Why hasn't he come out for so long?" Eleven or twelve hours later, it was already midnight. Looking at the mostly extinguished lights upstairs, Yu Ze thought carefully, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He quickly reached the doorway, glanced at the closing door, smiled contemptuously, and suddenly leaped onto the second-floor windowsill.
Based on the information he had gathered during the day, Yu Ze went straight to the seventh floor.
Standing outside room 703, he straightened his clothes slightly before extending his left hand and gently knocking on the door. His entire body was slightly tense, ready to deliver a swift and decisive blow.
"Since that guy won't leave, I'll just have to break in and steal it! Hehe, once he gets the door open, I'll just knock him
unconscious..." A ruthless glint flashed through his mind. In the dim light of the hallway, Yu Ze's hand, which was knocking on the door, gradually became filled with doubt.
Strange, why has he been knocking for so long? There's been no response from inside?
Is he not here? Impossible, he personally watched him enter during the day, and he hasn't left since; he's definitely staying in this room.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Ze continued knocking without pause.
Unexpectedly, this knocking lasted for nearly ten minutes, and there was still no movement from inside.
Yu Ze, who had been full of confidence, preparing to steal the jade and quickly leave, was now completely depressed.
He had no choice but to knock. After all, even with superhuman strength, he wasn't good at picking locks, and room 703 was located in the middle of the floor, without any windows on either side, facing the main street of the urban village.
"If I'd known, I would have taken the landlord's key downstairs." In extreme frustration, Yu Ze suddenly increased the force of his knocking. Was the guy inside an i***t? He'd been knocking for so long and there was no response at all?
Just as the knocking grew louder, a startled sound suddenly echoed through the previously quiet floor, followed by an angry shout from the room next to 703.
"Damn it, who the hell is knocking at the door in the middle of the night? Can't a person get any sleep?!"
"I've been knocking for ages! Get lost if no one answers?!"
"Damn it!"
Following the angry shout from 704, 702 on one side and 705 on the opposite side also sprang into action. In an instant, a barrage of angry shouts rang out from both sides, followed by the slapping of slippers.
In an instant, Yu Ze, who was already so frustrated he almost vomited blood, turned completely liver-colored.
