DEFYING FATE

Chapter 66: One more appeared!

Sunday morning.

Shilihe Pet Market.

This place was just a Subway stop away from Panjiayuen.Although there were not many antiques sold here like Panjiayuen, there werelots of stalls selling birds, fishes, and walnuts.

Dong Xuebing strolled along the market and visited almostevery stall selling walnuts. Then, he stood beside a makeshift booth and watchpeople gamble walnut fruits. He had already gotten a 46mm Lion Head and wasconfident that he would be able to "snatch" another 46 mm Lion Head fromsomeone else with his ability. Now, he only lacks one more 46 mm Lion Head. Hewanted to repeat what he did yesterday.

Please appear! Hurry up and appear!

One hour...

Two hours...

It was almost noon, and there was not even a 45mm Lion Head.

After lunch, Dong Xuebing was anxious. He went to anotherstall and stood there and wait. Why didn't any 46mm Lion Head appear? Tomorrowwill be on Monday. This month's committee meeting will undoubtedly be held oneither Monday or Tuesday. If I can't find the second 46mm Lion Head, then Iwill not be able to get a pair. It will not be in time for tomorrow's meeting!

10 minutes... 20 minutes... Soon, half an hour passed.

Just when Dong Xuebing was about to give up, he heardshouting near to him.

"Wow! 46!"

"That's really a 446 Lion Head!"

"Hehehe. That's luck!"

Dong Xuebing was excited and turned towards the direction ofthe shouting. It was also a walnut stall. But it was a small stall. Withouthesitation, Dong Xuebing ran over to the booth and pushed the onlookers aside."Excuse me! Excuse me! There is the 46 Lion Head? How big is it? Is it morethan 46.8mm?"

If the walnut seed were not more than 46.8 or 46.9mm, it wouldnot be 46 mm after it was dried.

The stall owner heard someone asking and replied: "It's46.6mm."

Dong Xuebing frowned. Although it was not as big as the onehe got yesterday, but it should be able to meet the minimum requirement to forma pair. He turned and look at the person who bought the fruit. It was a highschool student. "Hi, can you let me have a look at your walnut seed?"

That boy was very excited and showed it to Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing examined the Lion Head and then compared it tohis from a picture he took from his iPhone this morning. He compared thebottom, middle section, the top, etc. Hmmm.... it was not a perfect pair, but itshould be enough.

An onlooker also said: "Can I see it too?"

Dong Xuebing passed the Lion Head back to that boy andasked: "Are you willing to selling it? Name me a price." Dong Xuebing did notsee which fruit this boy picked earlier, and it was useless for him to useBACK. If he uses BACK, he could buy out the whole basket of fruits. But whenDong Xuebing looked at the basket, there were at least a few hundred fruits. Ifone fruit cost 300 RMB, then it will cost more than 100,000 RMB for the wholebasket. He only had 50,000 RMB with him!

That high school student wore branded goods from head totoe. He doesn't seem to lack money. "Sorry, I do not want to sell."

Other than Dong Xuebing, someone among the crowd was alsointerested in that Lion Head. "How about 3,000 RMB?

"I will offer 4,000 RMB! Do you want to sell?"

Dong Xuebing panicked and said: "I will offer 5,000 RMB!"For only a single Lion Head, 5,000 RMB was a high price.

But that boy shook his head. "I am not selling, but..." Hepaused for a while. "I am looking for a pair of 46mm Chicken Heart. If anyoneof you here has it, I am willing to exchange the pair for this Lion Head."

46mm Chicken Heart?

Although Chicken Heart could not be compared to Lion Head,46mm Chicken Heart was also rare!

The two men who shouted earlier hesitated. Dong Xuebinggritted his teeth and said: "Wait for me here. I will go and get you a pair!"Dong Xuebing must get this Lion Head at all cost. Furthermore, all the ChickenHearts above 42mm in the market were all from artificial grafting, and therewas an abundance of fruits available. The value of 3 pairs of 46mm ChickenHearts could not even be compared to 1 Lion Head. This was a good deal!

That high school boy smiled and replied. "Ok. I will waitfor you here."

"I will reserve your Lion Heart!" Someone from the crowdshouted. "Young man don't sell it to others. I will bring you the ChickenHeart!"

Dong Xuebing panicked. "I am the one who said first!"

The High school boy paused for a while and said: "Errr... howabout I exchange it with the first person who brings the Chicken Heart over?"

"Ok!"

Dong Xuebing immediately ran to a nearby walnut store andasked: "Do you have 46 Chicken Heart?"

The store owner replied: "No. Do you want 44mm Chicken Heart?"

Dong Xuebing left and ran to the next store. "Give me a pairof 46mm Chicken Hearts!"

"Oh,we do not have46mm Chicken Hearts."

After asking 3 stores, Dong Xuebing realized something.Damn, even if I visited all the stores, it will also be useless. If it wereavailable in these stores, that high school boy would have bought it from themand not asked to exchange his 46 Lion Head. I am so stupid! But... where shouldI find this Chicken Heart?

Suddenly there was a loud sound of things dropping on theground behind Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing turned around and saw a young man in hismid-twenties, placing a basket of walnut fruits under a big umbrella. Thatyoung man made a few trips into a store and carried out baskets of walnutfruits. Then he started shouting. "Come and see. Green fruits! Big ChickenHeart, Lion Head. All fresh from these two days!" That young man's store wasnot specialized in selling walnuts. It was a small store selling pet foods.

Dong Xuebing heard "Big Chicken Heart" and his eyes brightenup.

This store had just opened, and Dong Xuebing was the onlyperson there. That young man looked at Dong Xuebing and asked: "Hi, do you wantto buy a pair?"

Dong Xuebing suddenly had an idea. Big Chicken Heart was notlike Lion Head. The chance of 45 and 46mm appearing was much higher. Since 46mmChicken Hearts were not available in stores, why not try his luck at gambling?If Dong Xuebing was lucky, he should get a pair of 46mm Chicken Hearts fromdozens of fruits! But this method will be costly!

Fine! That's what I will do!

To get the position of Deputy Chief, this amount was nothing!

I will take a gamble!
