"This...well..." Lin Shengyun stammered for a while, unable to explain himself. However, as an old timer, he had, after all, developed quite a thick skin over the years!
"I just randomly named this thing when I first got it," Lin Shengyun decisively refrained from elaborating on his magic artifact, switching the topic, "Even if it can’t compare to the legendary true Donghuang Bell, calling my magic artifact the Small Donghuang Bell isn’t a problem. On the other hand, Brother Wang, look, everyone here has their own trinkets, don’t you think it’s about time you showed us your treasures and dazzled us all? With so many people here, why don’t you share something?"
As soon as he said this, everyone became curious.
After all, Wang Hao had just outperformed Lin Shengyun’s Small Donghuang Bell, which meant he must have even better artifacts, right?
"Exactly, Brother Wang, you seem quite knowledgeable, surely you count as one of us now. You must have at least one magic artifact, right?"
"Yeah, Brother, your discerning eye is unbeatable. Got any treasure to show off to us?"
"I’ve lived a good long life myself, and I love nothing more than seeing fine treasures. Even if they’re not mine, just having a glimpse of them is enough!"
A group of old timers were eagerly persuading him, and Lin Shengyun wore a smug look.
Kid, you talked big earlier. I want to see if you have anything that can match my artifact.
Our Donghuang Bell might not be that legendary artifact, but it’s still well-known in our circles. What can a young lad like you bring to the table?
At this moment, the atmosphere was intense. If Wang Hao really had nothing to show, they would certainly mock him to no end!
"Brother Hao, this..." Fang Wenbin was nervous.
After all, Wang Hao was his close buddy. If Wang Hao embarrassed himself, it wouldn’t look good for Fang either.
Even Bai Yaning was getting nervous, griping Wang Hao’s hand tightly.
"Well, this..." Wang Hao took a deep breath, scratched his ear, and looked around at everyone present, obviously in a tough spot, "I do have something, but are you sure you want to see it? It’s a bit dangerous and still not subdued, it has a strong hostility. I’m afraid it might hurt someone..."
What? He really has something?! And it’s dangerously hostile?
The crowd exchanged looks and nodded simultaneously.
"Let’s see it! Brother, you’ve got to satisfy our curiosity today! Whatever you’ve got, just show us!"
"Yeah, yeah, you’ve seen our treasures. You can’t just back down now, can you?"
"No worries, we’ve dealt with all sorts of demons and spirits in our lives, we’re not scared. Whatever treasure you have, just bring it out!"
Lin Shengyun was fanning the flames on the side, "Right, Brother, whatever you have must be stronger than my Small Donghuang Bell, right? If it’s worse, maybe just don’t bother showing it at all, to save yourself the embarrassment..."
At that moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Wang Hao, eager to see what sort of junk he would pull out.
Lin Shengyun was ready. If what Wang Hao brought out was even slightly inferior, he was ready to ridicule him relentlessly.
"Well, since you all insist, I’ll show you," said Wang Hao as he reached into his pocket and began fumbling around.
The old timers held their breath—could Wang Hao really possess a treasure? With so many eyes on him, nothing should go wrong, right?
Just as everyone’s eyes were about to pop out of their skulls, Wang Hao finally took out his treasure.
At that instant, the moment everyone caught sight of the object in Wang Hao’s hand, they all sucked in a breath of cold air!
"How is that possible?" Lin Shengyun’s jaw almost hit the floor as he exclaimed, "What...what on earth is that?!"
"This... this big?!" Even Bai Yaning was dumbfounded!
For in Wang Hao’s hand was the very Crimson Eye that had been dug up from Africa!
That was a fist-sized red diamond! The only one in the entire world!
Diamonds are usually measured in carats, but for the Crimson Eye in Wang Hao’s hand, you’d have to measure it in kilos!
"What... what exactly is this?!" Fang Huai De, having seen wide and far as the Great Elder of the Trillion family, had never encountered such a massive diamond, and a red one at that!
Even under the sunlight, when the diamond caught the sun’s rays, one could vaguely see a misty fog within!
"Bro... Brother..." At this point, an old fellow cautiously asked, "Is that...Glass?"
The other onlookers: "..."
Glass my ass! Can we not be so embarrassing?! It’s obviously a diamond!
"This thing," Wang Hao held the Crimson Eye in one hand, and seeing that everyone around was baffled, said with a grin, "I obtained this treasure unintentionally. Doesn’t it look a lot like a diamond? And a red diamond at that?"
The crowd nodded like idiots, "Yes, yes, it really looks like a diamond, a red diamond..."
"Actually, this is just its appearance," Wang Hao said, waving his head, "When I first got this thing, it was full of hostility. Oh, you have no idea, because of it, almost an entire village was wiped out!"
"Gasps—!!" The crowd took in another cold breath, someone asked, "That powerful?!"
"Of course," Wang Hao hummed, "Do you know what this thing truly is?"
The crowd shook their heads. "We don’t know!"
"To be honest," Wang Hao sighed, "I didn’t know what it was at first either, but after consulting countless texts, I finally figured it out. Its true identity is..."
Everyone craned their necks, asking, "What is it?"
Wang Hao paused, this time for a full ten seconds, before slowly articulating, "Nuwa’s Sky Mending Stone!"
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present nearly collapsed to the ground in shock!
Nuwa’s Sky Mending Stone!
My God, could such a thing really exist?!
But looking at this thing’s appearance, that size, that radiance—oh my, the light is so bright, I can hardly keep my eyes open!
Yes, yes, yes, your treasure is incredible, whatever you say is right!
