My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

He Zhixiang hadn’t known Li Xiang was planning to sell Chicken Blood Stones and was completely shocked. Just that one small sample had been priced at 4 million; he could only imagine the value of the entire case.

’How can we let them just casually haul away something so valuable without a reliable person keeping an eye on things?’

’Although Young Master Xu is trustworthy, this is my first time dealing with the other party. Besides, it’s not Young Master Xu who’s buying them, but another boss. Sending one of my own men along is perfectly understandable.’

’Li Xiang is here by himself and has no one to send. But *I* brought a driver.’

The driver immediately stood up, looking alert, and followed them out. He was excited too. ’Holy crap, tens of millions worth of stuff, and President Li was just carrying it around so casually. No wonder he didn’t let me touch it earlier.’

He Zhixiang, on the other hand, was lost in thought. He had seen Li Xiang digging that cave before. He thought to himself, ’There was a flash of red light back then... could it be that he really did hit a mine? Brother Xiang has such incredible Luck. Is he a true Child of Fortune?’

Of course, he wouldn’t say any of this out loud. He mused that he should get much closer to Li Xiang in the future. After all, if you hang around someone with good Luck, maybe some of it will rub off on you.

No one wants to get close to a jinx, right?

Some bad luck is contagious, and the same goes for good Luck.

He wasn’t the only one who had guessed. Someone in Xu Xuan’s group had figured it out too—Zhang Youyou. She had been in the livestream at the time, and now she leaned close to Xu Xuan’s ear and whispered a few words.

Xu Xuan shot her a glare, warning her not to spout nonsense or spread it around.

”I know,” Zhang Youyou said, secretly pinching Xu Xuan’s thigh. In truth, Zhang Youyou’s family background was also extraordinary; otherwise, she would never have been with someone like Xu Xuan.

The elders of both families were very keen on them becoming a couple. The two had also secretly slept together, but they hadn’t yet reached the stage of discussing marriage.

Zhang Youyou felt that Xu Xuan didn’t love her enough, while Xu Xuan found her too wild. She was exciting in bed, but she ultimately lacked a certain degree of grace and wasn’t his ideal type for a partner.

The drinking and feasting continued, and the atmosphere grew lively.

Xu Xuan hadn’t come alone; he had brought several friends who were good at livening things up. One of them, who prided himself on his incredible tolerance for alcohol, challenged Li Xiang to a drinking contest.

The drink of choice was, of course, strong spirits, while Zhang Youyou and the other young women drank red wine.

In the end, after downing three bottles of Feitian Maotai, Li Xiang’s expression hadn’t changed in the slightest. He was still chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened. His challenger, however, could no longer take it and had collapsed onto the table, begging for mercy.

Xu Xuan was completely exasperated. ’You useless oaf.’ He also hadn’t realized that Li Xiang could drink so much.

Li Xiang laughed. ”I usually drink 58-percent alcohol. This 53-percent Maotai is a little on the mild side.”

Everyone was speechless. ”...”

Wang Rui Feng’s people were remarkably efficient. Of course, this was mainly due to his connection with Xu Xuan and the fact that the big boss, Wang Rui Feng himself, had given the order. The relevant staff at the gemstone company skipped lunch and worked overtime, completing the appraisal and evaluation with maximum efficiency. The final price they came back with was 32 million yuan.
