Chapter 80 Four Purple Cards, Someone Wants to See You
[Beacon: Within the area enveloped by the Beacon of Wonder, creatures' self-healing abilities are greatly enhanced, and there is even a certain chance of them learning a passive skill, Level 1 Self-Healing.]

[Equivalent Transformation Chamber: The corpses of deceased intelligent races are thrown into this chamber and transformed into undead creatures, giving them a completely new form. The strength of the undead creature is related to the strength of the corpses thrown in and the scarcity of the materials. There is a certain chance of transformation failure.]

[Lord's Potion: When consumed by a mutated beast or intelligent race with elite potential, it can elevate their potential to lord level.]

"Wow, this is amazing!"

After reading the descriptions on the four purple cards, Zeng Shen couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"As expected of a purple-level card, the blue card from before is nothing compared to this purple card. It's incomparable."

"When the cataclysm comes, and we put every purple card into use, our combat power will increase by a whole level quickly, giving us a huge lead over others."

Zeng Shen couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then began to carefully study the wonderful uses of these four purple cards for a while before closing the backpack space and slowly lying down in the bedroom to take a nap.

The next day, after washing up, Zeng Shen planned to drive No. 1 towards Yinhai District in the neighboring city.

He planned to accumulate a large number of survival points so that he could get another purple card lottery wheel and do a ten-pull as soon as possible.

After all, the surprise brought by the ten cards last night made him start to look forward to the next ten-pull of the purple card lottery wheel.

Just as he went downstairs, his phone rang.

Zeng Shen took out his phone and looked at the number with suspicion. It was an unknown number.

He tapped the connection button and began to speak:

"Hello, who is this?"

“Nephew-in-law, it’s me, Shi Mingqiang.”

"Hmm? Uncle Shi, what's up? Why are you calling all of a sudden?" Zeng Shen asked.

"Hey, do you have some free time later? Could you come over here? Someone wants to see you."

"Who wants to see me?"

"Um, it's hard to explain. You'd better come and see for yourself."

"So mysterious, okay, I'll come over in a bit."

Zeng Shen hung up the phone, delayed his immediate trip to Yinhai, and turned to head towards the Trade Building.

[Warning, warning! The host is about to intrude into the domain of a fourth-tier wind deity...]

Ignoring the notification sound in his ear, Zeng Shen took the elevator directly to the entrance of Shi Mingqiang's company.

As soon as he walked in, the young receptionist clearly recognized him and said directly:

"Mr. Zeng, Mr. Shi is waiting for you inside."

Zeng Shen nodded, turned and walked toward Shi Mingqiang's office. As soon as he opened the door, he saw three people sitting in the office living room.

He recognized two of them; one of them was Shi Mingqiang.

There were two people opposite Shi Mingqiang, one of whom was an acquaintance.

That's Director An, who's in charge of the city's investment promotion and development bureau.

Beside Leader An sat an elderly man with a poetic air, whose identity he did not know.

Zeng Shen walked over and said, "Uncle Shi, Leader An."

Shi Mingqiang was just making tea and taking care of the two guests in front of him.

But as soon as he saw Zeng Shen appear and walk over, he immediately put down the teapot and said with a smile, "Nephew-in-law, you've finally come! Come, these two, let me introduce you."

Leader An, standing to the side, chuckled, "I don't need an introduction, Xiao Shen and I have already met. But let me introduce this gentleman beside me. This is Dean Li Xinming, an academician in charge of research in the medical field of Great Xia, as well as research in mysterious energy science, and he also oversees multiple other areas."

When Dean Li heard Leader An rattle off a list of his titles, he slowly waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "Hey, Leader An, you don't need to make things so complicated for me."

He turned to Zeng Shen with a kind smile and said, "Hello, young man. I'm just a doctor and an old man who works on energy development for the advancement of science and technology in our country."

Zeng Shen looked at the rather amiable old man with a hint of doubt and asked, "Hello, my name is Zeng Shen. Uncle Shi said someone wants to see me. It must be that you two have something to discuss with me."

“Xiao Shen, we learned from Shi Mingqiang that his Green Dew Imperial Jadeite was commissioned by you.”

“Yes, I bought it in town when I was playing in the north.” Zeng Shen casually gave a name.

"Oh."

Leader An and Dean Li nodded slightly. Having lived half their lives, they could naturally tell that Zeng Shen was not telling the truth, but they did not press him further.

therefore.

After a few words, Dean Li roughly understood Zeng Shen's personality and, without beating around the bush, directly stated his purpose.

"Here's the thing, our research institute wants to purchase this piece of jade directly for research purposes, without going through an auction. What do you think, young man?"

"If you're not going to use an auction format, then how much are you planning to bid?" Zeng Shen asked directly.

“This Green Dew Imperial Jade is extremely important for the future scientific research of Great Xia, so I plan to buy it for 1.2 billion. What do you think?” Dean Li said in a consultative tone.

“12 billion.” Zeng Shen drawled as he looked at Shi Mingqiang beside him.

When Shi Mingqiang saw Zeng Shen looking over, he said, "Nephew-in-law, this price is good. According to my estimate, if it were auctioned, it would be worth at most 1 billion, but Dean Li is offering 12 billion, which shows that he is very sincere."

“No, Uncle Shi, what I meant was that I’m entrusting this Green Dew Imperial Jadeite to you for auction, so I can’t give Dean Li a direct answer. But since you’ve said that, it means you also agree not to go through the auction process, so I have no problem with that,” Zeng Shen said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mingqiang pointed at him and laughed, "Good lad, you know how to talk."

When Leader An and Dean Li heard that Zeng Shen was alright, they both breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Soon, Shi Mingqiang, representing Green Dew Jadeite, and Dean Li, representing the Daxia Research Institute, directly signed a transaction contract.

Then, Shi Mingqiang gave Dean Li and the others his company's bank account number.

Therefore, Shi Mingqiang would only transfer the money to Zeng Shen after the other party made the payment, and receive the remaining balance after deducting commissions and the 500 million yuan risk contract deposit.

As for the risk contract, since it is held by the bank, unless Zeng Shen pays the principal and interest in advance, it will remain there until a year later when Shi Mingqiang can redeem it.

Looking at the hundreds of millions in the company's account, Shi Mingqiang naturally didn't want to redeem it so quickly.

After all, they have hundreds of millions of real money in their hands.

There are simply too many ways to make money from money.

Shortly after Zeng Shen, Leader An, Dean Li, and others left, a group of Americans led by Jack also arrived at Shi Mingqiang's office.

When they learned that Dean Li and others had sold the Green Dew Imperial Jadeite directly and exchanged it for Liu Miao's Imperial Jadeite at auction, they were furious.

One of Jack's companions said helplessly, "Dean Jack, it's already been bought by Li Xinming. We have no choice but to go back."

"No, there's one more thing. We need to find out who sold this Green Dew Imperial Jadeite, and we also need to get information from them about where they obtained the jadeite before we can leave."

As Jack spoke, he turned to look at a female agent in a black suit behind him. She had fair skin, exquisite features, wore sunglasses, and had a slender and tall figure.

"Colonel Kekelin, could you please request an investigation?"

"Yes."

The female agent in the black suit nodded slightly to Jack and then turned to leave.
