"Holy crap, 55 million! Am I seeing this right? That's fifty-five million?"
"Could Smoker Uncle have typed an extra zero too?"
"Highly unlikely!"
"So that means… the stone really is worth that much?"
"The streamer's net worth just skyrocketed twentyfold overnight!"
"Ahhh! I'm going insane!"
"Hubby, I love you..."
Just moments ago, all the long-time viewers were acting calm and composed, boasting about their worldly experience. Now they were all flustered, flooding the chat with shocked face emojis and "I kneel" memes.
As for the newcomers who had just tuned in today, they were completely baffled.
"What's going on? Weren't we just talking about crayfish? How did we jump to stones all of a sudden?"
"Who am I? Where am I? What are you all talking about?"
"What kind of stone could be worth 50 million? A diamond? I'm lost!"
"Highly recommend watching yesterday's replay. That stone's far more precious than any diamond…"
Mid Lane King threw a mudball at Smoker Uncle.
Mid Lane King: "Uncle, what you're doing isn't very fair!"
Smoker Uncle: "It's a fair competition—one bid each. Everyone's playing by the rules, so there's no issue. Besides, my friend genuinely likes that stone!"
Mid Lane King: "A 'friend' out of thin air? Come on, even I don't buy that! I'm not convinced!"
Smoker Uncle: "Little friend Li, when would it be convenient for you to make the deal? Or you can just send me your bank account info now, and I'll transfer half the payment as a deposit?"
"Half? That's 25 million up front! Uncle really is a big shot!"
"Paying 25 million before even receiving the goods? What if the streamer runs off with the money?"
Smoker Uncle: "He won't. I've always had a good eye for people, and I trust young Li's character. But my friend did say, after paying the deposit, he'd want to see the stone in person before sending the rest."
Li Ran shook his head. "Forget it."
Smoker Uncle: "If you're uncomfortable with that payment method, I can have my friend wire the full amount upfront and inspect the stone afterward."
"Damn, pay first and inspect later? Smoker Uncle's heart is that big?"
"It's not just being carefree. Looks like he really wants that stone."
"Smoker Uncle totally made up that 'friend,' haha!"
"I've made it in life—witnessing a multimillion deal with my own eyes…"
Li Ran gave a wry smile. "Sorry, it's not about the payment method. I've just decided not to sell."

"Streamer, are you sure? This is the biggest deal I've ever seen, and it just fell through?"
"Yeah, at least let me take a screenshot of that string of zeros!"
"What do you mean you're not selling? You asked the two big shots to make offers, and now you're backing out? Are you messing with them?"
"Bro above, your IQ is touching. Just because someone offers a price doesn't mean the seller has to sell. I'll offer you two bucks for your house—now hurry and sign over the deed!"
"I'll bid two-fifty, lol..."
Yukinoshita is My Wife sent a rocket.
"Whoa, even Yukinoshita is jumping in?"
"Crowd's gathering! Get ready!"
Yukinoshita is My Wife: "I already said I'm not into rare stones. Just wanted to speak up for the streamer."
"The boss is speaking—quiet down everyone!"
"No talking!"
"I've got my pen and notepad ready…"
Yukinoshita is My Wife: "The streamer backing out after hearing the bids wasn't meant to mock the two buyers. He just didn't want to let something valuable go for less than it's worth."
"For example, if someone offered me 100,000 yuan for my life-size Yukinoshita figure, I might chase them out with a kitchen knife!"
"That figure isn't exactly priceless, but I spent two months and over 300,000 yuan putting it together. If I were to sell it, it'd have to be for at least 600,000. A 100,000 yuan offer? I'd take that as a personal insult!"
"It's the same for the streamer. The fact that he can politely smile and decline is already very gracious!"
"Why do I feel like Yukinoshita is just flexing his figure?"
"Be bold and delete the words 'I feel like.' He is flexing!"
"But... judging by what he's saying, does that mean the streamer's stone is worth more than 55 million?"
"No way, it's just a river pebble..."
Yukinoshita is My Wife: "Exactly. That's what I'm saying! I didn't want to say this before, since it would seem like I was undermining the two bidders. But now that the streamer has turned down both offers, there's no harm in revealing it."
"If you're curious, look it up: among the four great rare stones in China, one is called 'Years Gone By'—it's shaped like a human face. That stone is owned by one of my relatives. A few years ago, it was valued at 100 million, and it's gone up 50% since. Its current estimate is 150 million."
"Why bring up that particular stone? Because I've seen it up close. I even peed next to it once. I know exactly what it looks like. And I can tell you: the streamer's pebble is just as good, if not better, in shape and color!"
"So now, does 55 million still sound like a high price to you?"
After this explanation, the livestream fell silent for a brief moment.
Then came a flood of uncensored exclamations—
"Holy sht!"
"Holy sht!"
"Holy sh*t…"
"One stone worth 150 million? That's insane!"
"Turns out Yukinoshita is the real big shot—he peed next to a national treasure!"
"If the streamer's stone can compare to one of the four great stones, doesn't that mean he's now worth over a hundred million?"
"No wonder he's my hubby…"
"Now that you mention it, 55 million does seem kind of insulting."
"But honestly, if it were me, I'd probably have sold it at 800,000."
"My limit would've been 2.5 million."
"The streamer is truly wise. We judged him too soon…"
