Chapter 9: Showing Off

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The wait was always long. It was very difficult for Lin Yi to sleep while thinking about things.

Finally, after the unbearable wait, the electronic watch in the bedroom jumped to 00:00.

Seeing this, Lin Yi, who had long been unable to hold it in, directly flipped around and picked up the small paper box impatiently.

To be safe, Lin Yi simply reached out and took out a large handful of porcelain fragments.

After everything was ready, Lin Yi took a deep breath and called out to the system in his mind.

“System, system, help me break down this porcelain fragment and make a complete antique porcelain!”

Swoosh!

As this thought appeared, the heavy feeling in his hand immediately lightened. At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[Retrieving Master’s porcelain fragments. The system has already broken them down for Master. The system has screened and optimized the molecules. The screening and optimization have been completed. In the process of reconstruction, Master has obtained a Yuanqing Flower Vase Peony Cup.]

As the system voice in his mind disappeared, Lin Yi felt an item suddenly appear in his empty hand.

He subconsciously clenched his fists and looked over. He saw that there was a complete small porcelain cup in his hand.

The small porcelain cup was not big, only half the size of a palm. It was only about ten centimeters tall.

The overall appearance was similar to the current goblet, but the upper part was shaped like a bowl that was attached to a base.

In any case, Lin Yi did not think there was anything good about this.

However, although he did not think it looked good, he knew that this thing was definitely not cheap.

“Heh heh, System, you’re really impressive. You got me an antique. Alright, after school tomorrow afternoon, I’ll go to the antique market and sell you in exchange for my first sum of cash!”

After waiting for half the night, Lin Yi was already sleepy. However, when he looked at the small porcelain cup in front of him, his original sleepiness instantly disappeared.

He carefully placed the small porcelain cup on the desk and casually opened his computer to search. It could not be helped. After all, high school students were not allowed to use their phones.

Although his studies were not good, the college entrance examination was imminent. His mother still seriously followed the school’s instructions and simply confiscated his phone.

The value of this antique was the most difficult to define, especially porcelain. Some antique porcelain could be worth tens of millions, but some could only be sold for a few hundred dollars.

To an outsider like him, he could not distinguish the true value of this porcelain cup.

He did not want to sell it for a thousand dollars when it was originally worth hundreds of thousands.

Of course, there was actually the most convenient way, and that was to find his father and ask.

With his father’s understanding of antiques, he believed that he could definitely determine the approximate value of this porcelain cup.

At the very least, he could know if it was worth ten thousand or a hundred thousand.

However, Lin Yi did not plan to let his father see it now. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.

Thinking of the notification sound given by the system just now, Lin Yi directly typed “Yuanqing Flower Vase Peony Cup” on the computer.

After pressing the search button, Lin Yi was immediately stunned. At the same time, he could not help but exclaim, “Damn! This little thing is so valuable?”

According to the content of the search, Lin Yi was shocked to discover that if this small thing was real, it was worth at least two million.

An auction company in Shanghai had once auctioned a similar cup. The final price was 2.71 million!

He did not expect that his first sale could directly make him a millionaire!

Two million. What kind of concept was this? With his father’s monthly salary of $5,000, it would take him 30 years to earn it without spending!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi became even more excited. He looked at this tall porcelain cup again and could not help but think of money.

He almost could not resist picking it up and kissing it.

To ensure the safety of this treasure, Lin Yi found a roll of toilet paper and wrapped it up carefully.

In the end, he was still worried and found tape to wrap it up.

Looking at the item that was wrapped like a dumpling, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.

“Heh heh, this is foolproof. Even if it falls to the ground, it won’t break my treasure!”

After carefully putting it in his bag, he lay back on the bed excitedly and thought about how to use this huge sum of money.

The next morning, the first thing Lin Yi did when he woke up was to open his bag and look at the wrapped dumpling. When he saw it lying quietly in his bag, he heaved a sigh of relief.

As the saying went, people were in high spirits when they encountered a happy event. Lin Yi was like this now.

“Calm down, calm down. I’m an impressive man with a system after all. How can I be excited over such a small sum of money? Phew… calm down.”

Riding the bike on the road of the district, Lin Yi took a few deep breaths before calming down.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, a hurried horn sounded behind Lin Yi, scaring him.

Looking at his current location, he was already very far away. Was there something wrong with the car behind him?

He turned around and was about to see if it was a female driver when an angry shout suddenly sounded from behind.

“Kid, do you own this road? Didn’t you hear the car coming? Hurry up and move to the side! If you scratch my car, you won’t be able to afford it even if I sell you!”

Hearing the berating behind him, Lin Yi could not help but frown.

Turning around, he saw an old black Porsche Cayenne driving over. A greasy-haired middle-aged man was looking at him angrily through the window.

When Lin Yi turned around, the middle-aged man in the car was stunned. Then, before Lin Yi could speak, he spoke first in a superior tone.

“So it’s the kid from the Lin family. The college entrance examination is coming soon, right? I heard from your Aunt Liu that your results have always been bad. What’s wrong? Where do you plan to work after the college entrance examination? Do you want to come to our company? Other people’s internship is $1,500 a month. I’ll get you $1,800. How about it?”

The middle-aged man in the car was called Sun Zhi. He lived in the same area as Lin Yi. Not only that, his wife, Liu Mei, and his mother were colleagues.

However, her relationship with his mother was not very good. To be precise, her relationship with all the women in the company was not good.

As for why, it was naturally related to her husband, who had supposedly just been promoted to an executive two months ago.

Lin Yi heard his mother complain a lot at home. She said that ever since Liu Mei’s husband was promoted, he had been looking down on people in the unit all day long with a superior attitude. His words were also insulting.
