Chapter 164:119, Chen Shanhe investigates Lin Mo? A game with a big shot is about to begin!_3

You should know, this is just what Lin Mo has shown. He doesn’t even dare to think if Lin Mo is hiding anything else behind the scenes!

What if Lin Mo says something to the two big families, his shop might not be able to continue, and he might even have to go back to the days of selling goods under the scorching sun.

It’s hard to transition from luxury to frugality.

If it really comes to that, he doesn’t know how he would face it!

Xiang Feiwen’s only extravagant hope right now is that Lin Mo can quickly forget his existence!

28 million.

Lin Mo thought about it. The system gave a market price of 30 million.

But jadeite raw stones, after all, differ from antique calligraphy and paintings —they indeed require various processes, machining, carving, and also selling. The whole process is quite troublesome.

Letting others make some money while he enjoys a leisurely life isn’t a loss at all—a win-win outcome.

Having figured this out, Lin Mo nodded and agreed directly, “Okay, deal. I’ll send you my card number.”

After opening WeChat, Lin Mo copied the bank account number and the account holder’s name that he had sent to the Kong family in the morning and forwarded it to Zeng Shirong.

The crowd was reluctant to disperse for a long time, gazing wistfully at the jadeite stone worth 30 million, continuously taking photos and recording videos.

Such a treasure, less one look at a time.

Ultimately, under Zeng Shirong’s arrangement, protected by a group of staff, Lin Mo and Zhang Yihua managed to leave the antique and raw stone market smoothly, driving back to the hotel.

In the car.

“My gosh…”

Driving the car with a shocked expression, Zhang Yihua said, “Mr. Lin, I swear, if I made today’s events into a comic, the audience would definitely think it’s absurd.”

“Absurd. It’s really too absurd!”

“Can you teach me how you did it?”

This was already who knows how many times Zhang Yihua had repeated such words.

Having snagged two pieces of information completely by chance, and recalling today’s experiences, Lin Mo also thought it was quite interesting. He laughed and said, “Judgment isn’t something I can teach; it’s something you need to accumulate over a long time.”

“I advise you not to entertain such notions. Your talent lies in the animation industry. Just do what you have to do there, and you can make big money too.”

Lin Mo was indeed a bit worried that Zhang Yihua, having been shocked today, would no longer focus on creating comics from tomorrow on and would spend all his time studying gambling on stones and calligraphy instead, which would be troublesome.

Losing an investment of 3 million is trivial, but missing out on a return of 50 million would be painful!

“Yeah, I definitely understand that. I’m just too shocked. Really, I never dreamed that one of my former classmates could be someone as amazing as you!” Zhang Yihua’s curiosity was ablaze as he asked, “Lin Mo, can you tell me how you discovered your talent and then grew from a porter to where you are today?”

“This would be great material, I could use you as the inspiration for a short comic strip!”

Hehe.

Lin Mo couldn’t help but shake his head and smile wryly.

It was indeed good material, but it wouldn’t fit in the reality section; it would have to go in the sci-fi category.

After all, the system’s existence has far surpassed the level currently understood by science.

“Let’s drop the subject,” Lin Mo changed the topic and asked, “So tell me, if ‘Divine Enthronement’ really becomes a massive hit and makes money, what do you plan to do?”

The journey was long, so a chat to pass the time wasn’t a bad idea.

Besides, Lin Mo had had few friends in the past, always busy with work, having very few chances to truly have a heart-to-heart chat with anyone, aside from his wife.

Having invested in Zhang Yihua before was purely for making money, but after this encounter, Lin Mo felt like he was genuinely a good person and worthy of becoming a close friend.

A massive hit…?

Zhang Yihua shook his head and said, “To be honest, I never thought ‘Divine Enthronement’ would be especially popular. As long as I can repay your investment and share the dividends, and let the colleagues who have followed me for so long receive a handsome reward, that would be enough for me.”

Lin Mo asked, “What about yourself?”

“Me? I don’t care about that. Making an outstanding animation is my dream,” Zhang Yihua answered quickly and firmly, “If it does become a huge hit, and I have money on hand, I might try to make a AAA game, the first real AAA game in Grand Xia Country!”

“A game that could stand alongside top IPs like ‘Sekiro,’ ‘Red Dead Redemption,’ and ‘God of War 4.’”

Hmm…

Lin Mo mused, “That’s a big dream you have there. In this era of mobile games, with 648 as the mainstream in gaming, you want to make a console game, and a AAA one at that. Is that possible?”

Zhang Yihua laughed and said, “Who cares? Dreams are dreams, anyway. For now, the focus is doing ‘Divine Enthronement’ well. We can talk about the future later. I might not match your speed in making money, but people have to have dreams, right?”

Dreams…

Lin Mo had not heard someone talk about this word in years, and even when he occasionally stumbled upon it while scrolling through TikTok, he would sigh and swipe away.

Right,

What was that young man named Lin Mo’s dream again?

He really forgot,

Anyway, he remembered it was neither a car nor a house.

When Lin Mo returned to the hotel, it was almost dawn.

He took out his room card, swiped open the door, and saw Li Jinwen sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone.

“Why are you back so late?”

Li Jinwen stood up.

“Got held up,” Lin Mo whispered, “How’s our daughter?”

“She just fell asleep,” Li Jinwen pointed to the room and said softly, “Husband, you’ve worked hard. How was your day?”

Lin Mo moved over to the sofa, gently embraced Li Jinwen, and laughed, “Do I even need to say it? When your husband makes a move, it has to be earth- shattering.”
