Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 156:118, making tens of millions! Lin Mo creates another legend!_3

He had earned over 10 million, so why wasn’t he very excited or thrilled about it?

If this had happened in the past, let alone 10 million, even one million Guangxu Yuanbao would have kept him up all night with excitement.

But now, it seemed he indeed wasn’t that pumped up.

After some thought, it actually made sense. After watching too many Japanese action movies, one’s threshold for excitement tends to increase.

Lin Mo smiled knowingly, shook his head, and said with a smile, “Money is just an external possession, just over 10 million, nothing to be too thrilled about, not even enough to buy a house in Rakshasa City.”

“You work hard on making the ‘Divine Enthronement’ anime, and once it takes off, you’ll definitely earn more than just to million.”

Zhang Yihua, as if injected with an energy booster, nodded vigorously and said, “Mhmm, Mr. Lin, I’ll take your auspicious words to heart and do my best!” “Let’s go, 1’11 treat you to a nice lunch to celebrate today’s earnings!”

Lin Mo said with a smile and took the opportunity to send a WeChat video invitation to Li Jinwen.

It was almost noon, and they would likely have lunch soon.

If they had time, they could join.

Making money is important, but one mustn’t forget about the wife and daughter.

However, what Lin Mo didn’t expect was that Li Jinwen had already gone shopping with Lin Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yihua’s sister, followed by two porters from the clothing market, who were told directly by them that they’d handle lunch on their own and not to look for them.

Helpless, the two men had to dine out by themselves.

The two also sipped a little.

After lunch, there wasn’t much to do in the afternoon, so Lin Mo and Zhang Yihua continued to wander around the market.

Mere luck wouldn’t allow Lin Mo to come across any great finds. The few pieces of jade they’d blindly bought in the afternoon turned out to be overestimations, and not one made a profit.

It was clear,

Lin Mo’s beginner’s luck had worn off.

However, there was one interesting thing: wherever Lin Mo appeared, he inevitably became the center of attention, the focus of the crowd.

Each stall owner watched him without blinking, fearing he might find a bargain at their stall.

And the antiques that Lin Mo had casually picked up to look at, asked about the price, or even just glanced at a few more times, would become the target of a scramble once he walked away.

Being too famous can be quite a hassle.

Who told him he had found a loophole worth more than 10 million in the morning?

Finally, as dusk fell, the jade raw stone auction was about to begin.

Wanming Auction House is under the joint jurisdiction of the four major families and is the largest auction in Jiang Province.

The auction house is located at the very center of the market and is a seven-story oval structure, with each floor stacking above the previous one, somewhat reminiscent of the Temple of Heaven in Imperial Capital, symbolizing the unity of heaven and earth in a round sky and square land.

The first floor of the auction house is expansive, displaying a wide array of precious collectibles, much like a miniature museum.

The painting Lin Mo sold in the morning had been put up as well, currently taking the seventh spot in the masterpieces area.

At first glance, there seemed to be not many security personnel, however, apart from the visible patrolling guards, Lin Mo also noticed many plain-clothes officers strolling through the hall, their eyes as sharp as hawks’, watching the visitors.

These security staff made no effort to hide their intentions, so they weren’t hard to spot.

It was similar to the bodyguards Lin Mo had seen alongside Chen Shanhe by Mingyuan Lake.

Thinking of Chen Shanhe, Lin Mo naturally remembered Chen Kainan.

Heh, that guy still has no idea that his grandfather is actually his biological father.

Interesting, when Lin Mo has some free time, he will personally tell him at the right moment.

The first floor of the auction house is public, but to go up to the second floor, one needs to verify their assets or have an invitation from the auction house.

The same procedure applies for each subsequent floor.

The higher you go, the more expensive the auctioned items become, and the stricter the verification conditions are.

After checking the information in the lobby, Lin Mo found out that the piece of jade he was interested in was to be auctioned on the fourth floor.

He had planned to go through the procedure of asset verification with the staff before heading upstairs.

But to Lin Mo’s surprise, the staff doing the verifications recognized him, and they happened to be from the Kong family.

The staff member mentioned Lin Mo was a friend of the Kong family and could move freely below the sixth floor of all auction houses.

Okay, Lin Mo hadn’t really taken Kong Jianghuai’s words to heart at the time. Everyone knows how to flatter, and talks of friendship are less valuable than an extra 500,000.

He hadn’t anticipated that being recognized by a major family could bring some real practical benefits.

Having smoothly reached the fourth floor, Lin Mo and Zhang Yihua found their seats and sat down.

Since the auction hadn’t started yet, there weren’t many people around.

Both Lin Mo and Zhang Yihua were new to such a scene, naturally looking around the hall and discreetly observing the people nearby.

While they whispered to each other and pointed here and there in the environment, a man dressed in casual Tang attire, adorned with numerous antique accessories and looking as lean and agile as a monkey, actually sat down next to them.

Then, all three were stunned.

After a full ten seconds, it was Zhang Yihua who first broke the silence.

He frowned, asking angrily, “Old classmate, do you really have to do this? Is it because 1 found one minor deal that you’re now tracking us?”
