Chapter 206: 206 top-grade
Actually, they were seriously cheating. The way they operated, they collected all the raw jade stones.
The two of them stayed here for ten days, collecting all the raw stones.
Their faces were pale from exhaustion.
"Let's rest here for a day today, I'm too tired."
Tan Shaoting wasn't feeling great either. "Alright. You go rest."
The Spiritual Spring Water never stopped, but even so, using their superpowers continuously was overwhelming.
Su Yuanyuan didn't even eat, she just lay down and slept.
Looking at the pale-faced young girl, Tan Shaoting felt quite distressed. It was his own lack of ability that made the girl so tired.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that Su Yuanyuan woke up. She stretched lazily, feeling alive again, and remembered the large batch of raw stones in space.
"We definitely need to get a few cutting machines, and also learn how to process the raw stones."
Two more days passed before they finally emerged from the mountain.
They mounted their horses and continued forward.
Their Task Character was still quite far from here, and now they didn't have much time, knowing that domestically it was probably late December by now, right?
"Shall we go?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded. "We'll head in that direction, but on the way, we need to learn how to unlock the stones."
There are so many good things in space. I can indeed see the essence inside, so how can I not be anxious?
"Yuanyuan, actually you can slowly use Divine Sense, it can also unlock the stones."
"I don't want to use Divine Sense for a while, it's too exhausting. It's better to learn unlocking stones, that's a craft, isn't it?"
"Alright."
The two of them took three days to finally reach a densely populated area.
To be honest, Su Yuanyuan didn't really like it here.
The two had a purpose, so they went straight to find someone who knows how to unlock stones.
It's a craft, and how could someone easily teach them?
It was only when Su Yuanyuan took out one Jinyu that the person agreed to teach them both.
Actually, it's based on experience. But since both of them had Divine Sense, there was nothing they couldn't unlock.
Even the master was shocked, what kind of prodigy is this?
The old man brought out a piece of raw stone. "I've never been able to make sense of this, also didn't dare to unlock it. Which one of you wants to try?"
Neither of them moved.
"Don't worry, even if nothing comes out from it, I won't blame you, go ahead."
The two exchanged a glance, and it was Su Yuanyuan who finally took it over. This way, if there was any real problem, there was still Tan Shaoting.
Su Yuanyuan sat down, used her Divine Sense to look at it, and found that inside was a top-grade piece with a diameter of only about ten centimeters.
"Mengta Mountain, sell me this raw stone, so that I can freely proceed."
"This belongs to a friend, I can't make the decision."
"Mengta Mountain, in that case, I don't dare to proceed either."
Ta Shan looked at Tan Shaoting, implying that he hoped he would take action.
Understanding Su Yuanyuan well, Tan Shaoting knew immediately that she fancied this raw stone.
So, he also shook his head, "I don't dare either."
Ta Shan thought for a moment, "Wait a moment, let me ask my friend and have him come over so you can talk to him directly."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, thinking there's no way she would pass this up, and she wasn't asking for it for free, she would pay.
After about half an hour, Ta Shan returned with someone of a similar age following behind.
"So, you want this raw stone?"
Su Yuanyuan smiled, "I don't really care, but Mengta Mountain wants me to unlock it. Honestly, I don't have the guts, but if it were mine, I would dare."
The person nodded, understanding.
"Alright, one tael of gold, and it's yours."
Tan Shaoting handed over one tael, though, it wasn't of the best quality. He noticed that this girl particularly liked gold, and handing over poor quality made her heart ache for a while. Of course, she wouldn't agree to use good-quality gold.
The person took the gold, "The raw stone is yours now."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "So whatever comes out, it's ours."
"Yes, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
Su Yuanyuan finally sat down. Tan Shaoting also sat beside her, pretending to discuss where to start.
Ta Shan and the other person stood aside watching, truthfully, they were very curious too.
Someone had once said there's nothing inside this raw stone, but they both didn't believe it.
That's why the raw stone had been kept for so long.
Now they could finally find out what was inside. Essentially, it was to confirm their guesses.
An hour later, Su Yuanyuan held a piece of clear, brilliant jade in her hand.
On Ta Shan and the other person's faces were looks of regret.
"Haha, Mengta Mountain, our luck wasn't bad, was it?"
"Kid, did you know there was something good inside?"
"How could it be? It's my good luck," Su Yuanyuan shamelessly boasted.
Tan Shaoting took the jade and directly put it into his jacket pocket, not even letting them look.
"You've both graduated. I have nothing left to teach you."
The two stood up with smiles, bowed to Mengta Mountain, "Thank you, Mengta Mountain."
They bought two sets of stone processing equipment from Ta Shan and placed them on the horse's back before leaving.
An hour later, they collected the equipment.
Tan Shaoting handed the piece of jade to Su Yuanyuan, "Here you go."
Su Yuanyuan took it with a beaming smile, "It's so beautiful, it seems I need to learn jewelry design and creation in the future."
Tan Shaoting felt that this girl was always full of whims. But he also noticed her positive trait, that she never relied on others.
Such a strong girl. She never thinks of leaning on anyone, which is great as a friend or partner, but not ideal for a romantic relationship.
Men still hope for girls to depend on them a bit.
"Let's complete the mission, we've delayed here for a week."
"Yeah, let's go, finishing it early would be reassuring."
"Do you think they released false news? We haven't sensed any tension."
"That's possible. We'll know when we get there."
By now, their language skills had improved a lot, but they could still hear differences.
Therefore, they avoided densely populated areas along the way. After asking a few people, they all pointed in the same direction, so the two headed there.
Along the way, they noticed that people's lives in these areas had improved a lot, evident from the houses and clothing.
Five days later, they reached the place where their Task Character was located.
This place was even wealthier, showing that the two people wielded considerable influence here.
