Chapter 016: I'm Rich! I'm Rich!
Lin Lang smiled mysteriously and said, “Just now I already told Older Sister, I am a Child of Fortune, favored by the Goddess of Luck, my luck is explosively good.”
“When a person’s luck reaches the extreme, let alone blindly gambling on raw jadeite stones and getting a surge in value, everything is possible!”
Gu Keqing looked at the top-grade full-green raw jadeite stone Lin Lang held in his arms with immense joy, so happy that it was beyond words, as if witnessing a miracle.
“Even TV dramas wouldn’t dare to act like this, A Lang, you are truly amazing!”
“Coming to the Antique City with you today, I definitely did not come in vain, I have seen the world!”
Gu Keqing's love for Lin Lang unknowingly increased by a few points, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Lang became even more gentle, full of affection and love, even adoration.

“Why can’t such a good thing as getting rich overnight happen to me?”
“I’m truly envious to the point of red eyes!”
“Imperial Green is the king among jadeite, this handsome guy with such good luck, who actually dared to blindly gamble on a raw jadeite stone without appraising it and cut it to create a miracle, must also be a dragon among men, definitely not an ordinary person!”

“Could it be that he just invoked a deity and chanted a spell, and a deity really guided him to get rich?”
“Holy crap!”
“Was it a coincidence, or is it really that spooky?!”
“Could it be that the legendary money-attracting spell truly works?”
“Did anyone remember the spell that this handsome guy used to invoke a deity and chant just now? Share it so we can all get rich!”
“I only remembered the first few lines, By my life, I invite the deity to descend! By my consciousness, I summon the spirits of heaven and earth, to probe this energy, there is still a long section of the money-attracting spell after that, who can remember it all at once?!”
“The big news of someone cutting out a top-grade Imperial full-green from gambling stones at Jing'an Temple Jewelry and Antiques City will likely spread throughout Shanghai very soon.”
“I just heard that the handsome guy who gambled on the stones seems to be called A Lang!”
“A Lang is awesome…”

At the same time.
Upon hearing that someone had cut out top-grade Imperial full-green from gambling stones, the crowd gathered around the gambling stone stall grew larger and larger.
Lin Lang was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside of onlookers watching the excitement.
Because she saw out-of-town tourists visiting Jing'an Temple Antique City holding cameras.
Gu Keqing was worried about standing with Lin Lang and being photographed together in the same picture, appearing on the newspaper because they cut out Imperial full-green from gambling stones.
So, Gu Keqing pushed her sunglasses and reminded him, “A Lang, this is a place of trouble, we shouldn’t stay long, no more showing off!”
Lin Lang heard this and said loudly, “Everyone, please don’t crowd! Please make way, we need to leave!”
Lin Lang held the Imperial full-green raw jadeite stone in one hand and protected Gu Keqing with the other, quickly pushing his way out of the crowd, the two of them dared not linger in the Antique City and walked out without looking back.
The gambling stone stall boss, with a troubled look on his face, was depressed because Lin Lang picked up a bargain from his gambling stones and missed out on tens of millions of chinese yuan.
“Oh my ~ Holy crap!”
“I regret it to death!”
“How the hell did I not know that on my gambling stone stall, there was a piece of Imperial full-green raw material that this kid picked up for less than forty thousand chinese yuan by gambling on stones and won.”
“It’s going to piss me off!”
“The money I earned today is really troubling me!”
“This kid is all mysterious, does he really know how to chant spells and invoke deities, and use magic to turn stone into gold?”
The gambling stone stall boss had a bewildered look on his face, scratching his head in regret, extremely regretting selling the raw jadeite stone worth tens of millions at a 50% discount through blind gambling to Lin Lang.

Jing'an Temple Antique City parking lot.
Inside a black Audi A6 sedan, Gu Keqing sat in the back seat, admiring the dazzling and exquisite Imperial full-green raw jadeite stone.
“A Lang, just by visiting the Antique City, you’ve reached the peak of your life by picking up a bargain from gambling stones, going out with you is simply too exciting!”
Lin Lang sat in the driver’s seat, buckling his seat belt, and replied sweetly, “It’s because Older Sister brings me luck, I can only be so lucky when I’m with Older Sister.”
“A Lang, you are so good at talking, you are a master at making women happy.”
“A Lang, you can read faces, and palms, you know a little about metaphysics, you can even invoke deities to attract wealth, and you can appraise treasures and pick up bargains, is there anything you can’t do?”
Lin Lang joked, “Aside from not being able to get pregnant and have children, I know a little about everything else.”
Gu Keqing smiled sweetly and happily, “A Lang, what are your plans for this top-grade Imperial full-green raw jadeite stone?”
“Entrusting a Shanghai auction house to auction it off at the spring auction.” Lin Lang started the car and drove the Audi A6 out of the parking lot.
Gu Keqing said with some regret, “Such a rare top-grade Imperial full-green raw jadeite stone, if you collect it for a few years before selling it, it will definitely appreciate a lot, right?”
Lin Lang replied, “That’s right.”
“Then why are you in such a hurry to sell this top-grade Imperial full-green raw jadeite stone, A Lang?”
“Keqing Jie Jie, collecting this Imperial full-green raw jadeite stone has too long a period of appreciation, cashing out tens of millions for investment, making money with money is faster.”
“A Lang, you studied finance in university, you must understand investment better than me.”
Lin Lang drove while looking ahead, and joked, “The future Wall Street tycoon is currently serving as Keqing Jie Jie’s driver, do you feel honored?”
Gu Keqing smiled gently and said, “Extremely honored! Where are we going now?”
Lin Lang raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously, “Of course we’re going to a hotel, Older Sister, you know, hehe…”
“Hmph ~ A Lang, you’re being naughty again!” Gu Keqing said one thing but meant another, her flushed little face betrayed her.
While driving.
In the car radio, on the Shanghai FM music broadcast channel, the popular song “Tianya” from that year was playing. When Lin Lang, after crossing over and returning to the millennium, heard this song full of a sense of the era again, it felt exceptionally familiar.
The dim and dark sky, unable to stop the shooting stars
Unable to burn a cold, dead heart
Bitterly searching, losing aimlessly
Lovely, hateful, what a pity…
Lin Lang drove the black Audi A6, driving through the streets of Shanghai in the millennium, while humming Xiao Qi's song “Tianya”, feeling a sense of being in another world, yet also very comfortable and enjoyable.
Gu Keqing, like a little fangirl, praised, “A Lang, I didn’t expect you to sing so well too!”
Lin Lang replied, “Not only do I sing well, I can also compose and write songs!”
“Really? Is that true?”
“Could it be that A Lang is truly a jack of all trades?”
