Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Looking Around
“The difference in A and D place is huge.” Sophia looked at Riya helplessly. “Most of the stones in D place will not produce any jade and only a few of them might be able to produce some.”

Riya nodded in understanding.

She came here not because she wanted to stand out and make a lot of money. It was mostly because she needed the material in order to create formation and talisman.

“After you finished picking, you can have them cut there or just bring them back home. It’s all up to you.” Sophia pointed to the place where she could have her jade cut. After all, not everyone had the place for them to cut their jade.

Riya looked at the location that Sophia pointed at and nodded.

She wanted to use her spells to cut some of the jade for personal use. But she should also show an appearance outside and have them cut here. That way, it would not look suspicious for her friends.

“Ok.”

“We can lend you money if you want to look at the more expensive ones.”

“No, there’s no need. I’m trying my luck first.” Riya waved her hand. She would need to make sure that she would be able to obtain a lot of money to pay them back. Even if it was possible, she would definitely attract a lot of attention should she do that.

“Okay, then.”

“If you can get a good one, you can actually sell them for a considerable amount of money,” Amelia added. “So if you think that you’re lucky enough, you can try to cut them open and then sell them. This is a truly fast way for you to get rich~.”

Riya glanced at Amelia and nodded lightly.

If she wanted to make use of her magic to get rich… it was indeed not impossible. But she will definitely attract a lot of attention. Not to mention, there were also the tax that she had to pay.

The documents will be hell for her to take care…

Let’s not mention this matter or things would turn sour.

Anyway, Riya was satisfied with how things has been for her so far. She didn’t need to be the richest person or whatever. It was too troublesome.

“I’m going to pick some good stones first.” Sophia pointed at the cart her subordinate was holding for her. She had her own dedicated channel, but it didn’t mean that she would not pay a visit to this place.

This is her hobby.

“Okay.”

Riya knew that Sophia would go to the A section.

She didn’t want to go there, so she stayed in the D section and looked at the raw materials on the table. Raw materials could be sold by number or weight. The price will depend on the size.

There were various methods for one to identify a good jade. From what Riya read, it required a professional to judge that if the skin was god and the green rate was high, it could be marked as high level and the price was more expensive.

Though… honestly, Riya didn’t really understand what that green thing.

She only knew that this was not completely accurate. It was not that easy to find the material with good jade within. No one knew what would be inside the stone unless they opened it.

That was why this place was called as stone gambling.

It was literally gambling.

But those who had professional knowledge and had armed themselves would be more prepared and would have higher chance to obtain better jade than others who blindly picked and rely nothing more than luck.

“How do you want to pick it?” Amelia asked curiously as she glanced at the pile of rocks in front of her. No matter where she looked at these things, she felt that they were very ordinary and shouldn’t contain any jade.

“Just pick some that I fancied.” Riya smiled and brushed her finger on the surface of the rocks. It looked like she was just looking around but many others were doing the same as her, so her action would not make her the center of attention.

‘Enhanced senses.’

Riya silently cited spells in her mind and her eyes were clearer. As her hand touched the stone, she could faintly perceive whether there was any mana inside or not. Most of the stones here barely produce any Mana, but some of them had faint fluctuation.

This meant that the jade could truly hold mana and with her runes, Riya was confident that she could make a good use of these jades to make formation and so on.

After thinking for a bit, Riya picked one that produced faint fluctuation and put it on the small car that she brought.

She only planned to buy a few to test.
