Villain: I Pick Up Rewards Next to the Female Lead

Lin's Jade Market.

The protagonist Lin Fan, with his Golden Eyes, was surrounded like a star.

He had just used his Golden Eyes here to participate in several stone gambling sessions, each time resulting in huge profits!

Many gamblers gradually followed him, seemingly wanting to see if the miracles he created could continue!

"Hahaha! Lin little brother, your ability to select raw stones is indeed not to be underestimated!"

"Even I, an old man who has been immersed in this for decades, feel a bit ashamed!"

"If there's a chance in the future, we must have a good exchange!"

An energetic old man openly expressed his goodwill.

Everyone present cast envious glances at Lin Fan.

After all, they had been here long enough to know the old man's identity.

To be noticed by this big shot in the stone gambling world, isn't that a ticket to success?

"Old Liu, you're overpraising me! There's no talk of exchange; I'm just lucky!"

Lin Fan smiled politely, but the pride and satisfaction in his eyes were hard to hide.

Because he felt he could accept this praise with a clear conscience!

With these Golden Eyes, all raw stones were completely exposed under his gaze!

As long as he saw it and bought it, it would definitely not escape!

And in that short time, he had already made nearly two hundred thousand!

Earning such a huge sum of money so easily was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine in the past!

But after actually earning it, he felt it was nothing.

In fact, his ambition began to swell even more!

"How about this, there will be a batch of new old Myanmar materials coming in later. I wonder if Lin little brother is interested in going to take a look with this old man?"

Old Liu stroked his white beard, finding Lin Fan more and more pleasing to the eye.

If only he had a suitable daughter or granddaughter, he would want to matchmake!

"I can't guarantee what will come out!"

"But as long as there are valuable jadeites among these materials, I can definitely open the most valuable of the batch!"

Lin Fan was full of confidence.

Although he had used his Golden Eyes many times and was feeling a bit tired mentally,

He still felt he could use them many more times!

Showing off to make money, no matter how many times you do it, it's never a loss!

"Alright! Then I'll wait for Brother Lin to showcase his skills!"

Old Liu nodded in satisfaction and then took him to the stone selection area.

…..

Meanwhile, Lin Zichan took Mu An to her family's stone gambling market and suggested, "If you're looking to pick raw stones as a gift, I recommend selecting a batch of newly arrived materials. The chances of finding good items there are much higher!"

"The other materials that arrived earlier are either too expensive for anyone to afford, or the relatively cheaper ones have likely been picked over multiple times by those seasoned customers in the stone gambling world."

"If you pick from those, the chances of getting something valuable are almost negligible!"

Mu An nodded slightly, having no objections. After all, he wasn't really here to select any raw stones. He just wanted to intercept the opportunities of that protagonist with the golden eyes!

As soon as the two entered the shop, they noticed a crowd gathered around a certain area.

"Old Liu, let's pick this one!"

Lin Fan confidently pointed at a huge raw stone.

It was a valuable ice-type jade! If he had enough money at the moment, he would definitely buy it himself!

"Is this one really okay?"

Old Liu hesitated a bit. Based on his past experience, the chances of this raw material yielding anything were very slim. It might even lead to a significant loss!

"Old Liu, trust me..."

Lin Fan said earnestly again.

In fact, he was already cursing in his heart. The money was right in front of them, yet the other party was still hesitating. If someone else snatched it away first, where would he go to cry?!

"Then... let's buy it!"

Old Liu thought about the impressive track record of the other party and chose to trust him. Even if it didn't yield anything, spending seven hundred thousand could serve as a lesson to humble the pride of this young man!

Old Liu called over a shop assistant to make the purchase, but was informed that the raw material had just been bought by someone else.

"Just bought by someone else? What a coincidence?"

Wasn't this like snatching food from a tiger's mouth?

Now, Old Liu's face darkened.

Lin Fan's face also turned black.

Damn it!

The very thing he feared most had actually happened!

"Who bought it? Step forward!"

Old Liu's imposing presence was hard to ignore, looking like he wouldn't let it go easily!

He was quite a famous figure in the stone gambling world. Now that his chosen raw material had been taken publicly, wasn't that a slap in the face?

He couldn't tolerate this!

"Old Liu, what a grand display! If someone didn't know better, they might think this is your own shop!"

Lin Zichan said coldly.

Meanwhile, Mu An wore a faint smile, 'skillfully' wrapping his arm around her waist as he approached.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin! I wonder if you need on-site stone analysis?"

The market manager jogged over, flattering him.

"Is it you, the little girl from the Lin family, who snatched this raw material from me?"

Old Liu glared fiercely, his imposing aura not to be underestimated.

"What do you mean by snatching? It was never yours to begin with! Just because you say it's yours doesn't make it so!"

"Isn't that right?"

After giving the ice mountain president a kiss on the cheek, Mu An glanced at Lin Fan, his eyes narrowing.

So, this kid wants to pursue his sister, huh?

No matter if he's the protagonist or not, I'll take the chance to pit him against the wall first!

----------------

Lin Zichan's face flushed slightly.

Being bullied in front of everyone, the originally expressionless beauty had a hint of youthful blush on her face, but it quickly faded.

[Shyness from Lin Zichan +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Entry-level Skill: Stone Gambling Knowledge]!]

However, many of the onlookers couldn't help but notice that stunning beauty.

They couldn't help but feel envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Mu An, wishing they could take his place.

After all, if they could marry a stunning female president like Lin Zichan, they could just lie back and relax, saving decades of hard work!

Lin Fan's heart burned with inexplicable anger.

He didn't know why he felt this way, but he just found this handsome man very unpleasant.

It was as if they had a grudge from a past life!

And Lin Zichan's stunning figure made his eyes go wide.

He used to think the most beautiful girl in the world was someone like Mu Yuer.

But now he felt he had been terribly wrong in the past.

The reason he had such a narrow view was simply that he hadn't encountered enough money!

With enough money, he could naturally access a larger circle of beautiful women!

This only strengthened his resolve to make big money and enjoy more beautiful women!

…..

On the other side.

Under Lin Zichan's suggestion, the raw material that Mu An had just intercepted was cut open.

It was a nice green ice-type jade!

The price was estimated to have multiplied several times!

At least over two million!

A profit of over a million!

Old Liu and Lin Fan's faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

If it weren't for Mu An and Lin Zichan's sudden intervention, all of this should have been theirs!

[As for this raw material really yielding something, Lin Zichan was also slightly surprised, emotional fluctuation +13, congratulations, you have received the reward [Mental Multiplication Interference Illusion Card *1]!]

[Congratulations, you have successfully snatched the opportunity from the golden-eyed protagonist Lin Fan, forcing his show-off process to be interrupted, protagonist's fortune -1000, congratulations, you have received the reward [Perfect Version: Golden Eyes]!]

[This function is influenced by the host's mental strength! The stronger the mental strength, the longer the duration and the more detailed the effect!]

——————

[Mental Multiplication Interference Card]: Designate a target, causing them to consume multiple times more mental energy while using their mental strength, and inducing a certain level of confusion and illusion!

——————

Is this the reward (exploding gold coins)?

Does this guy have such a high drop rate?

As for this [Mental Multiplication Interference Card] ... it's simply a treasure for the protagonist with golden eyes!

And his 'old buddy' the Appraisal Eye seems to have gained an additional function?

Mu An was slightly taken aback.

He instinctively looked at Lin Zichan in his arms.

Suddenly, he understood one thing.

Why the steep and towering snow-capped mountains attract countless climbers from all over the world!

He vaguely felt a kind of heated impulse in his breath!

Like a fishbone stuck in his throat, he couldn't spit it out!

"What's wrong?"

Lin Zichan asked with concern.

She felt that Mu An's gaze towards her was strange, and she inexplicably felt uncomfortable as if she was being seen through completely.

"Nothing! Just a bit pale!"

Mu An quickly shifted his gaze and changed the subject.

"Pale?"

Lin Zichan blinked; a bit confused.

What is pale?

Is it jade?

…..

On the other side.

Old Liu was getting angrier the more he thought about it, and ultimately, he was unwilling to swallow this anger.

"Lin little girl, since we are all experts in stone gambling, how about we play a big game?"

That stone that was intercepted indeed yielded something.

This made him even more certain that he had misjudged earlier and was more convinced of Lin Fan's abilities!

"How do you want to play?"

Mu An said with a smile.

Still the same saying.

If a bargain comes to your door (emotional reward), why not take it!

Seeing the man take the initiative to speak, Lin Zichan remained silent, implicitly agreeing that he represented her attitude.

After all, the young master of the Mu family has plenty of money; even if he bought all the materials here, it would probably only be a drop in the bucket.

She didn't need to worry about anything!

"Wait! You are... the young master of the Mu family?!"

Old Liu had been suspicious of the man beside Lin Zichan.

But after recalling something, he suddenly realized.

The Lin family girl already had this engagement; as long as she wasn't a fool, there was only one answer for the man appearing beside her.

He was the low-key young master of the Mu family!

Actually, it wasn't his fault for not recognizing Mu An.

After all, he had been too low-key before, honestly going to school and honestly pursuing the school beauty Su Zhirou for three years.

He didn't smoke or drink, nor did he mingle in the rich kids' circle.

Many people had only heard of this figure but had rarely interacted with him!

"Oh? You know me?"

Mu An raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, but quickly lost interest.

"Forget it, I won't care whether you know me or not! What were you saying about how to play?"

"This..."

Old Liu hesitated instead.

He hadn't heard of any connection between the Lin family girl and the young master of the Mu family, which was why he dared to act so arrogantly.

But now...

"How about this, in the stone gambling market, we naturally have to gamble on stones!"

"We each choose three pieces of raw material, best of three, and whichever side has the highest value of the cut material at the end wins!

"And the winner can take away whatever the other side has opened unconditionally!"

"I wonder if you dare to bet?"

Lin Fan couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but speak up.

"This condition sounds good, but who knows if what you open will be trash? Wouldn't I be losing everything?"

Mu An stroked his chin and shook his head.

Then he smiled, like a sly old fox digging a pit for someone.

"How about this! Still the best of three rule, but the losing side not only has to unconditionally give the other side what they opened but also add an extra ten million as a bonus!"

"I wonder if you dare to accept this bet?"

Now, Old Liu hesitated again.

Not to mention what the three pieces of raw material would yield.

Just that extra ten million was enough to make people hesitate!

He himself had a considerable business in the stone gambling world, and his assets indeed reached millions.

But that didn't mean he would recklessly gamble everything he had just to save face!

If there were really people who did that, they would either be crazy or foolish!

"Old Liu, have confidence in my abilities, we will definitely win!"

Lin Fan was not worried at all, still full of confidence.

He was the destined child with the ability to see through!

If he could still lose like this, he might as well find a piece of tofu to crash into!

"This..."

Provoked by Lin Fan, Old Liu's spirit inexplicably shook.

He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and finally decided.

Isn't it just ten million?

Winning would be a huge profit!

Losing would just mean starting over!

"Alright! Let's do it!"

Lin Fan smiled.

He seemed to already see that easily obtainable ten million waving at him!

What a bunch of nonsense about the young master of the Mu family; weren't they just here to give him money?

Mu An also smiled.

He was just afraid that the two of them wouldn't take the bait.

Once they did, he wouldn't feel sorry for them if he tricked them too hard!

"Do you want to choose the raw materials yourself, or should I find someone to help you?"

"That old man opposite is not simple; his eyes are very sharp!"

"In recent years, he has already fished out quite a few good things from our shop!"

Lin Zichan was also a bit worried and couldn't help but remind him softly.

After all, she didn't know whether Mu An really understood stone gambling or was just pretending to understand.

If it was the latter, he would be giving away money for nothing!

"Don't worry! I have always had good luck!"

"The old guy took something from here before, and today I will make him spit it out!"

Mu An smiled mysteriously.

Hearing this, Lin Fan looked dismissive.

Heh, luck?

He didn't believe in that!

He only trusted his own eyes!

A pair of eyes that could see through stones!

Mu An glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly curling up.

Poor golden-eyed protagonist!

As proud as you are now, you will cry just as hard later!

[Using [Mental Multiplication Interference Card]! Target: Lin Fan!]

[Ding dong! [Mental Multiplication Interference Card] used successfully, now in effect...]

At that moment, Lin Fan, who was selecting materials, suddenly shook violently.

For some reason, he suddenly felt an endless fatigue rushing towards him!

His head felt like it was being stabbed with needles, and his eyes were so sore he could barely keep them open!

For a moment, he felt a bit panicked.
