Ordinary refinement consumes 95 energy points, special refinement consumes 10 energy points."
...
Across the street, Su Hang didnât even blink, and he directly walked into a jewelry store called Huang Dasheng. Xue Qi didnât know what this guy was up to, but he followed Su Hang closely.
Seeing the two enter the store, a salesgirl in a red skirt came over.
"Do you buy back jade items here?"
Before the salesgirl could speak, Su Hang directly stated his purpose. The salesgirl was almost stunned, standing there for a while before quickly nodding, "Yes, we do, but we need to see the item. Sir, do you have a jade item to sell?"
Su Hang nodded.
"Sir, please wait a moment, you can rest over there." The salesgirl led the two to the rest area, then turned and swayed her ample hips up the stairs.
The two sat on the sofa for a while. Soon, the salesgirl returned with a middle-aged man in a suit.
The man in the suit had a large pompadour, was slightly overweight, and not very tall. He looked like a successful person, and his walk had a certain air of authority, as if he were quite knowledgeable.
"Hello, I am the manager of this store, Huang Feng. I wonder which of you has a jade item to sell?" Huang Feng smiled, his gaze naturally falling on Xue Qi. Of the two, Xue Qi was much younger, but his designer clothes were more refined than Su Hangâs.
Xue Qi shrugged and lifted his chin, completely ignoring Huang Feng, making Huang Feng a bit awkward.
At this moment, Su Hang lightly coughed and stood up, "Manager Huang, right? Itâs me who wants to sell the jade item!"
"Oh?" Huang Feng looked at Su Hang. Although he was a bit surprised, Su Hangâs words eased his awkwardness.
"I have a family heirloom jadeite bracelet. Could you please appraise it and give me an estimate?" Su Hang took out the jadeite bracelet he had just bought without hesitation.
Huang Feng didnât say much, took the bracelet, and led Su Hang to the counter. He took out a small flashlight from his pocket, held up the bracelet, and examined it carefully, looking very professional.
At least, it seemed professional to Su Hang.
Xue Qi watched from the side, almost thinking Su Hang had lost his mind. The bracelet he had just bought from the store across the street, he hadnât even warmed it up yet, and now he was trying to resell it to another store. Could he really get a higher price?
Ignoring Xue Qiâs look of disbelief, Su Hang pulled up the system and scanned Huang Feng.
"Name: Huang Feng
Age: 38
Realm: None
Extractable Skill: Jewelry Appraisal (F-level)
Extract and Refine?
[Yes] [No]"
Huang Fengâs information quickly appeared in Su Hangâs mind. The corners of his mouth curved up. This was a money-making skill, but unfortunately, after refining the jade bracelet, his energy points were depleted. He couldnât extract it for now. Fortunately, the system could store information, so Su Hang stored Huang Fengâs information without hesitation, planning to extract it when he had enough energy points.

After about five minutes, Huang Feng looked up at Su Hang with a serious face, "How much do you want for this bracelet?"
"It depends on how much you can offer, Manager Huang!" Su Hang smiled. If I ask for 1 million, can you give it to me?
Xue Qi leaned in, waiting for the joke. He had seen many fools, but none as foolish as Su Hang. How could he find a bargain in a jewelry store? Could the bracelet really sell for a few more dollars after changing hands?
Huang Feng pondered for a moment, seemingly estimating in his mind. After a while, he spoke, "Mr. Su, to be honest, the quality of this jadeite bracelet is not very fine. It barely qualifies as an ice-type jadeite. If you want to sell it, I am willing to buy it. The price, however, is 150,000 yuan. What do you think?"
"150,000 yuan?"
As soon as Huang Feng finished speaking, Xue Qi jumped up, eyes wide. Did he hear wrong, or did this person say it wrong?
"Did you check it well? This bracelet, 150,000 yuan?" Xue Qi, who had been indifferent to Huang Feng earlier, now asked proactively.
As the future successor of the Xue family, 150,000 yuan was nothing to Xue Qi. The reason he was so surprised was that he knew Su Hang had just bought the jade bracelet for 50,000 yuan. How could it possibly sell for 150,000 yuan at another store?
If it was just a few thousand more, he could accept it, but this was a triple increase. Xue Qi couldnât accept it.
"Uh, if youâre not satisfied, the price can be negotiated. 160,000 yuan is also acceptable." Hearing Xue Qiâs loud complaints, Huang Feng thought Xue Qi was dissatisfied with the price, so he laughed dryly and raised it by 10,000 yuan.
"What?"
Xue Qi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Another 10,000 yuan? What was going on?
"Tell me, do you even know what youâre doing? This lousy bracelet, worth 160,000 yuan?" Xue Qi felt like cursing. In his view, Su Hangâs actions were already foolish, and now he had met someone even more foolish. It was like a fool meeting a bigger fool. "This thing was just bought from the treasure pavilion across the street for 50,000 yuan, and you want to sell it for 160,000 yuan here. How do you do business?"
Xue Qiâs loud shouting attracted the attention of many people in the store. Many customers looked over curiously.
Now Huang Feng understood Xue Qiâs intentions. After a long pause, with so many customers watching, he immediately put on a serious face, "Sir, please donât doubt my professional skills. I donât know where this bracelet came from, but I can assure you, itâs definitely not worth just 50,000 yuan."
"Damn!" Xue Qiâs eyes widened, pointing at Su Hang, "Donât you believe me? The receipt is still with him. It was bought less than twenty minutes ago. With your level of expertise, youâre just asking for your store to go bankrupt."
Saying this, Xue Qi turned to Su Hang, "Quick, show him the receipt."
"Get lost, what receipt?" Su Hang wasnât a fool. He couldnât let this guy ruin the plan. He pushed Xue Qi behind him and looked at Huang Feng, "Manager Huang, donât listen to this kidâs nonsense. This bracelet is a family heirloom. If it werenât for an emergency, I wouldnât have brought it here. You said 160,000 yuan, right? I think itâs still a bit below my expected price."
"Damn."
Xue Qi spat. The world was too crazy. He felt he really needed to calm down, or he wouldnât be able to keep up.
"Mr. Su, look, this bracelet has a lot of white cotton, and the distribution is not very even. The green is also not very natural. 160,000 yuan is already a high price. Even if you find someone else, they probably wonât offer more than this!" Huang Feng held the bracelet up to Su Hang and said.
