New Times, New Hell

Ch18 - The Ghost King's Seal

Not all of Li Tiantian's friends believed what Chen Siyu said. There were a few here and there that thought she had made up the story or had been scammed, but most of them were willing to believe that it was true. But another factor was that they were all from fairly well off families, so buying a stone really wouldn't make much of a dent.

It was the Underworld energy detection technology that everyone was actually more interested in. They thought that whether or not the program was real could be seen in an instant, unlike the chance factors involved in stones changing one's luck. Thus they all hoped that if they bought the stones, they could also get a check-up along the way.

After hearing their order requirements, Yu Zhengdu felt a little surprised. He never imagined that a little program he made for fun would cause people to want to pay to try it......

Due to this being the company's first time receiving a mass order for magnets, Yu Zhengdu counted the numbers and prepared to discuss with Boss. Except Shang Que called him into his office first.

Shang Que placed his own phone in front of Yu Zhengdu. On it was his WeChat chat history with Wei Xiao.

Shang Que said, "He wants to buy rocks......"

He paused for a moment then added, "Mass order."

Yu Zhengdu glanced at Shang Que's WeChat. Wei Xiao's nickname was: Really rich.

Yu Zhengdu: "......"

He quickly read through their chat history and finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that ever since Wei Xiao bought the stone from Luofeng, his daughter Wei Mo hadn't lost her soul again. Her health even got quite a bit better, and she became livelier.

Because of Wei Mo's special condition, Wei Xiao and his wife hadn't dared to let her attend preschool before. They were both busy with work originally, and having to take care of a child on top of that had caused them a lot of stress across the years. But recently, Wei Xiao had started contacting schools for Wei Mo. This would not only allow him and his wife to relax a little, it would also allow their daughter the opportunity to lead the same kind of life as her peers.

His child's situation had always been a sore point for him. Now that the sore point was relieved, he and his wife both became revitalized; this change naturally caught their friends' attentions. When they asked him, he didn't hide the truth.

People at Wei Xiao's level had a social circle comprised of other rich people. What these people had in common was the fact that after they finally became successful after working hard, they also became older. As they were able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, they became more worried about their health and life too, more than the average person. Many naturally started turning to superstitions. Because they had an abundance of money, they were also more willing to invest in these matters than the average person.

Because Wei Xiao often had to personally care for his daughter, Wei Mo's situation was quite well known in his social circle. This, in addition to Wei Xiao being a rather honest person, caused people to generally believe what he said. Either way, they wouldn't lose much, so quite a few people asked Wei Xiao to help them order stones. Some who were especially careless with their wealth asked for over ten at once.

In the WeChat conversation, Wei Xiao's attitude was extremely sincere.

Yu Zhengdu momentarily paused, then slowly told Shang Que, "I just received a purchase order too......"

He explained the situation with Li Tiantian's friends, then the both of them simultaneously became silent.

Shang Que propped his chin up, a confused expression on his face. "Why are humans so scared of dying? Dying isn't scary at all......"
