Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Go see the jade

After the Imperial University PK Competition, more people recognized Shi Yaoguang for her beauty and talent.

However, there were still a small number of netizens who felt that Shi Yaoguang was too arrogant.

Even if she was confident in herself, was there really a need to show off to such an extent?

Although Ling Qingxue wasn’t as dazzling as her, her performance in the competition was also very eye-catching.

"Beautiful women should be praised together, what’s the point in lifting one up and stepping on another?"

"I acknowledge the talents of certain people, but their character is really not up to par."

"Let’s face it, even if Shi Yaoguang is really amazing, is there a need to step on others? It’s hard to believe that someone who climbs up by stepping on others can be a good person."

"Am I the only one who thinks Shi Yaoguang is over the top? Ling Qingxue’s Xuese did indeed ruin the dolphin robot, but it wasn’t on purpose! Shi Yaoguang deliberately had Shi Guang destroy Xuese, and she’s also a robot maker. Doesn’t she know how much effort it takes to build a robot? How can she be so vicious?"

"Exactly, they’re all from the same circle, her actions are just too venomous."

"When you talk about Shi Yaoguang and Shi Guang, have you ever considered that Xuese’s actions might have been intentional too? It’s obvious that Ling Qingxue knew how much damage Xuese’s behavior would cause to the dolphin, but she still issued the command. Is she really unaware that the dolphin can’t take a hit? Clearly, she wanted to gain fame by destroying the dolphin."

"To be honest, Xuese stepping on the dolphin to rise up, and Shi Yaoguang stepping on Ling Qingxue to rise up, really isn’t much different in essence. At the end of the day, Shi Yaoguang and Ling Qingxue are pretty much on the same level."

"On the same level?" Shi Yaoguang’s fans couldn’t help but respond, "Our Yaoguang is a star, does she need to step on someone to rise up? It sounds like someone is making up their own story."

Ling Qingxue’s fans weren’t having it, "Who are you saying is making up their own story? Our Qingxue is very impressive, okay? She has been famous at Imperial University for much longer than Shi Yaoguang!"

"Who says that just because someone has been famous longer, they can’t step on others? Maybe her popularity is declining now, so she wants to step on Ling Qingxue, the talented and beautiful student, to build up the image of a ’Scholar Goddess.’ Don’t you see that this marketing strategy is very successful now?"

Just as the online community was debating whether Shi Yaoguang’s self-promotion as being incredible was problematic, the bigwig with the ID "I am**" made another move.

He didn’t do much.

He simply released some transaction records.

As well as some marketing copy that was prepared but had yet to be released, or rather was never able to be released.

With one glance, one could understand what all the recent online clamor was about.

And it was precisely because they understood what was happening that people were even more confounded.

"No way, I was sincerely bashing Shi Yaoguang for so long, and now you’re telling me this is the truth?"

"Ling Qingxue, come out and take your beating!"

"Ling Qingxue really is something else, pressing down on Shi Yaoguang for hype before, and then deliberately spreading paid articles to praise Shi Yaoguang, just to play a game of first suppressing then elevating. But then, lo and behold, all the groundwork was laid, but she couldn’t keep up due to her own limitations, wasting such a clever scheme."

"If I were part of Ling Qingxue’s PR team, I might die of anger."

"Haha, even the marketing drafts were written, detailing how Ling Qingxue would be praised to the skies, and then criticizing Shi Yaoguang for deliberately stepping on Ling Qingxue ..."

"To be honest, if I had seen these drafts in the event that Ling Qingxue had won the competition, I might have been influenced by the content of the drafts, considering they’re all true."

"Got to admit it when it’s due, respects where respects are owed."

"Shi Yaoguang’s side must be laughing to death now, having carefully planned their ascension to godhood only to end up as stepping stones!"

"Shi Yaoguang: Hahahaha, surprise? You all considered me a stepping stone, but I used you as a footstool, are you mad? Hahahahaha ..."

"The person above, don’t pretend to be the Goddess; the Goddess would never laugh like that."

"Am I the only one who feels sorry for Ling Qingxue? After all the plotting, it all ended up being for naught, it’s just too tragic."

"It’s not that bad."

"Who says Ling Qingxue isn’t pitiful? I’m ready to fight for her; Ling Qingxue is already so pitiful, how can you not sympathize with her?"

"Person above, did you forget to add the dog emoji?"

"I am the person above the person above, and indeed I forgot to add the dog emoji, please help me add one, thank you."

...

Netizens have short memories, and they soon forgot about the matter.

Only Ling Qingxue, the person directly involved, remained immersed in her own sorrowful emotions, unable to break free.

She really had it tough.

She had faced Shi Yaoguang and had never won a single time.

Shi Yaoguang was simply a nightmare in her life.

In her heart, Ling Qingxue had completely regarded Shi Yaoguang as an enemy.

Shi Yaoguang was indifferent to this.

After participating in the Imperial University’s PK Competition, she had nothing else to attend to.

Just then, Quan Jinbei ran into some trouble with a batch of jade business, so she thought she might as well go take a look.

As everyone knows, Myanmar is the place where the most jade stone materials are excavated.

Shi Yaoguang also wanted to take a look at the jade stones, so she followed along.

After arriving in Myanmar, Quan Jinbei had his people go meet with his own contacts, while he accompanied Shi Yaoguang in strolling around Jade Stone City.

In Jade Stone City, almost all the shops sold stones.

Each shop front would have a pile of stone materials displayed.

The stones placed at the front were those the shop owners had meticulously inspected and determined not to contain any particularly good material.

After all, jade stone trading is a gamble, and even though the sellers have looked them over, sometimes good items can still be found.

However, these stones were stacked at the front of the shop to be sold off cheaply.

If one could find top-quality material among the cheaply sold stones, then the buyer had made a good deal.

But...

There’s a saying, "The wool comes from the sheep."

If you find jade in the stones that the shop owner considers waste, indeed you have made a profit.

However...

The total money made from selling all those stones as waste far exceeds the worth of the material that might be found within them.

Therefore, even if buyers find jade in what the sellers consider waste, the sellers don’t feel at a loss or unhappy about it.

On the contrary, they wish everyone in the world knew that their waste could yield jade.

The intangible advertising this brings to the shop can benefit it far more than just a single piece of jade stone.

Such is the merchant’s strategy, with its own calculations.

The reason for bringing this up is because Shi Yaoguang had realized...

Both she and Quan Jinbei could see the spiritual energy contained within the stones.

It’s been mentioned before that this world had become The Last Law World.

The spiritual energy was so thin that it could no longer support a cultivator’s ascension.

Therefore, neither Shi Yaoguang nor Quan Jinbei cultivated spiritual energy.

However, as cultivators, they were able to see through the spiritual energy contained in the stones.
