Chapter 26: The Protagonist's Good Luck

Feng Jun was attracted to it, and he stepped forward to carefully observe the head-sized stone.

The color of the stone was gray, similar to stones in the river. It was slightly white, but not ugly.

However, this white color made Feng Jun feel familiar, so he took out a rag to wipe it.

A few seconds later, the stone became whiter and whiter, showing a crystal clear luster.

"Oh my, this is a piece of jade stone!" Feng Jun got excited.

The next second, he stood up and jumped over to the motorcycle. He then took out a magnifier.

Feng Jun had read many web novels, and he knew how important a magnifier was.

A magnifier could help the protagonist check whether the water source was clean and understand the local flora and fauna as soon as possible. Even in the wild, when the lighter wasn't useful, a magnifier could also be used as a cigarette lighter as long as there was the sun.

He now used it to test materials or even antiques.

Feng Jun didn't know much about jade, but he knew there should be tiny bubbles around jade stone under a magnifier. Otherwise, it could be a piece of glass.

He checked the stone carefully and found no small bubble.

However, he realized that it might not be a piece of jade stone even if there was no small bubble.

There was no small bubble around a cobblestone too, but it wasn't worth a cent.

Therefore, he opened his package again and found the little gourd pendant in his old clothes, which he paid a hundred yuan for.

The quality and texture of the pendant were very ordinary. According to the skinny shopkeeper, it could barely be regarded as jade.

Feng Jun thought that he could compare this pendant with the stone.

Compared with the stone, the pendant suddenly became less noticeable. It was quite obvious that the quality of the stone was better, which was much more delicate and soft, and its texture was extremely gentle and crystal clear.

Feng Jun believed it was highly possible to be a jade stone.

Why did this person die here with a piece of jade stone tied to him or her?

Feng Jun thought for a long while before he had a guess.

The person probably had encountered a robbery on the boat and directly jumped into the river with the jade.

It was a brave act.

With such a large piece of jade stone, Feng Jun thought that he could sell it for eighty thousand yuan at least. Although he knew it couldn't be as expensive as the ruby, it was enough to pay for the cost of his investigation this time.

It was only his guess, so he wasn't very sure about it.

Afterward, his interest had greatly increased, especially when there were stones everywhere in the valley. Whenever he found a special stone, he always stopped to take a look.

Unfortunately, although there were good-looking stones, his intuition told him that those stones could only be regarded as "strange stones" if he took them back to his world. None of them was comparable to the jade stone.

He was quite upset, but he soon accepted the reality, because it indeed was hard to find a piece of valuable jade.

Because he always stopped to look at special stones along the way, he only walked two hundred miles on the second day.

When he set up camp in the evening, he found something valuable again, and it was a broken jade box.

The jade box that fell in half was 14 centimeters wide, 4 centimeters long, about 67 centimeters high, and 1 centimeter thick.

The lid of the box was missing. The box was broken into two parts, and the gap wasn't smooth, which was the characteristic of jade.

The quality of this jade box was similar to the jade stone he picked up just then, but it was a little blue.

What made Feng Jun feel quite happy was that there were obvious traces of artificial processing on the box, which proved that it was jade. No one would spend much effort and time carving a stone.

Feng Jun felt slightly sad that the box was broken, but it wasn't a serious problem, because only half of it could be made into many small jade objects.

Actually, if this box weren't broken, it could be sold at a very high price in his world.

Feng Jun thought there must be something more valuable placed in this jade box since the box alone was so priceless.

However, the box was empty now.

Feng Jun was curious about it, but he had no clue.

He had visited antique stores before, so he made an estimate of the jade box.

It was worth thirty thousand yuan at least, and it was possible to be sold at three hundred thousand yuan.

Because Feng Jun didn't know much about jade, his estimate fell into a big range.

Although he was curious to find out what had been placed into the box, he clearly knew that he shouldn't bother himself.

He preferred to cherish what he had right now.

The sky became dark later, and Feng Jun quickly had some food to fill his stomach.

He was so excited that he played with the jade box during the meal.

He played with the jade box for nearly two hours. He then made up his mind not to go back to the warehouse this time.

He wanted to go back to the warehouse before simply because he was too poor and was reluctant to dump his stuff. In fact, he still wanted to make time to go to another city and sell a modified motorcycle to make some money.

Things of unknown origin couldn't be sold at high prices, but it was better to have some money than nothing. He was really poor, and he couldn't wait to make a fortune.

Right now, he had a broken jade box and a stone that looked like jade. There was no need for him to live on a tight budget any longer.

Feng Jun was willing to change his plan once he had a better choice.

Unfortunately, it seemed that he only had good luck on the first day.

He found nothing useful in the following three days.

In order to make more money, he even picked up several attractive strange stones, although he knew less about strange stones than jade stones.

That night, he was running out of food and water, so Feng Jun decided to leave in two days.

On the best part of the road, he didn't bother to make supply points anymore. Instead, he would build another warehouse next time.

In the evening of the next day, there was good news. He finally walked out of the river valley. There were fewer mountains in front of him. He climbed up a hill and took a look, and he could see the plain.

Feng Jun gave himself a thumbs-up because he had made a perfect plan. He didn't leave more supply points when he was only a day away from the exit so that no one would find out his secret.

The next day, he didn't rush to set off. Instead, he took out three bottles of mineral water to wash his hair, which was quite luxurious. He also washed his face before he started the expedition on the last day.

However, it was a failure. He drove for more than an hour when he suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in front of him, and there was a violent roar too. He immediately braked, turned off the ignition of the motorcycle, and gently pushed it into a large rock.

He must watch this drama, so he carefully climbed up a hill and took out a telescope to look around.

Among his equipment, only the telescope was genuine. It was a second-hand 88-type military telescope, 12*42 telescope, and he only paid three hundred yuan for it. It was well maintained, and the effect was excellent.

When he clearly saw both parties in the fight, he was shocked. "No way, an orangutan?"

The two parties of the battle ahead weren't humans, but an orangutan and a hedgehog-like animal.

The orangutan was extremely tall, and it had a big tree trunk in its hand. It then hit the hedgehog violently.

The hedgehog wasn't small either, and it rolled around on the ground in a ball to avoid the attack.

It had the ability to fight back. During the rolling, the long thorns that it erected occasionally shot out at extremely fast speed.

The orangutan was very afraid of that and jumped to dodge the long thorns, but it blocked the hedgehog with the trunk to prevent it from escaping at the same time.

The hedgehog had other skills. It rolled, and its body suddenly bounced from the ground. Its body was full of thorns, and it would slam itself against the orangutan.

It hit the ground with a lot of noises, so its force was also terrifying.

The orangutan had a thorn on his shoulder and blood on his forehead. It seemed that it had suffered a lot.

Feng Jun enjoyed watching the fight for more than half an hour, and he saw that the movements of both sides were getting slower and slower.

He started to think about whether he could gain something from the fight.

He felt like he was the protagonist in a web novel now.
