199: True Millionaire Achievement

Chen Xiangbei turned off all the lights, including the lighting system for the ecological fish tank.

The moment the last light was turned off, the sapphire in his hand emitted a brilliant blue light, illuminating the entire room as if it had been dyed with a rich cloisonné enamel, utterly captivating!

This light seemed to stimulate the Starlight Fish, causing them to simultaneously emit an even brighter light!

When the two lights converged, they miraculously merged together, forming a vibrantly colored rainbow!

Chen Xiangbei was deeply shocked by this miraculous scene! At this moment, he finally confirmed that this was not a sapphire, but the legendary fluorescent pearl, and a blue fluorescent pearl at that.

However, for some unknown reason, it had been hidden deep within the seabed until Chen Xiangbei dug it out.

Chen Xiangbei placed this fluorescent pearl into the ecological fish tank, letting it stay with them, forming a unique landscape.

Then he turned on the lighting system's night mode, preparing to go to sleep.

The moment the lights turned on, the fluorescent pearl's intense blue light dissipated significantly, becoming a faint blue; although it was not as brilliant as before, the blue light was still clearly visible.

Chen Xiangbei went back to lie on the sofa, and it wasn't long before it was 12 o'clock.

【Ding, System settlement begins: Host's income today +1,231,500 yuan, average hourly wage 153,937 yuan, System reward amount 44,334,000 yuan, physique +0.17, settlement points +5200, please continue to work hard!】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for achieving the hidden achievement - True Millionaire. The Host's actual income has reached one million yuan. Special rewards include 20,000 Mall points, Advanced Skill Upgrade Card ×2, Advanced Jewelry Appreciaiton. Please continue to work hard!】

Chen Xiangbei looked at the System's settlement notification, which confirmed his guess. Each time a large integer is reached, a hidden achievement is unlocked. This time it was 1 million+ in actual income, and next time it might require reaching 10 million.

He immediately integrated the Advanced Jewelry Appreciaiton skill, as he was currently very lacking in this area of knowledge.

The moment of integration felt as if a mysterious door had opened in Chen Xiangbei's mind.

Innumerable pieces of knowledge about jewelry sparkled like stars, clearly and vividly displayed in his consciousness.

He felt as if he were in a dazzling world of jewelry, where the colors, textures, and cutting methods of various gems flowed before his eyes.

He could clearly see the sparkling light of diamonds, the vibrant color of rubies, and the deep texture of sapphires.

The characteristics and historical background of each piece of jewelry played out in his mind like movie scenes. He learned about the formation process, origin, and cultural value contained within each gem.

Inspiration and techniques for jewelry design also surged in his mind. He felt as if he could touch the exquisite design lines and feel the charm of every detail.

Chen Xiangbei was immersed in this ocean of jewelry knowledge, constantly absorbing its wisdom and essence.

Ten minutes passed, and this vast knowledge of jewelry was completely absorbed by Chen Xiangbei. At this point, he could tell the origin of a piece of jewelry just by looking at it.

He walked to the ecological fish tank, scooped up the fluorescent pearl, and examined it carefully in his hand.

After a while, he nodded and said, "Essentially, fluorescent pearls belong to the fluorite category of jewelry. It is a type of jewelry that can glow spontaneously in the dark, usually formed by processing fluorite minerals containing rare earth elements.

It possesses unique optical properties and a mysterious appearance, and was considered a rare treasure in ancient China."

Chen Xiangbei could tell the true category of the fluorescent pearl and its composition with a single glance. It had to be said that the Advanced Jewelry Appreciaiton skill was quite useful.

Subsequently, he used two Advanced Skill Upgrade Cards to upgrade the Advanced Treasure Appraisal skill and the Advanced Jewelry Appreciaiton skill to the Master-level.

"Rumble~"

In an instant, a storm of knowledge surged in his mind. More profound treasure appraisal knowledge and jewelry knowledge were continuously imprinted in his mind, as if to fill him up.

After half an hour of absorption, the storm of knowledge in his mind finally subsided. Chen Xiangbei took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

"Hoo~"

"So knowledge really isn't that easy to acquire! If my intelligence hadn't increased so much, my brain capacity would barely be enough to hold it all," Chen Xiangbei said thankfully.

Opened the System panel:

【Host】: Chen Xiangbei

【Physique】: 3.8 (Adult passing standard is 1)

【Intelligence】: 3.52 (Adult passing standard is 1)

【System Level 3】: Settlement points: 35900/50000.

【Mall Points】: 34000 points.

【Wealth Value】: 152,150,000 yuan.

Looking at the more luxurious System panel, Chen Xiangbei couldn't help but feel proud.

Currently, there is only one Advanced skill left, which is Advanced Driving Technique, and only one Grandmaster Level skill, which is Grandmaster-level Financial Skill. All the rest are Master-level.

Master-level is already the absolute peak in this world, meaning he possesses nine techniques that have reached the pinnacle of the world!

This is a rather terrifying thing. After all, someone called a master usually only has one specialty, but he has nine. Once this news is announced, one can imagine how astonishing it would be.

Chen Xiangbei put the fluorescent pearl back into the fish tank, then returned to the sofa, tidied up his excited mood, and prepared to sleep.

That night, Chen Xiangbei's dreams were no longer about frolicking with beast-eared girls and enjoying the pleasures of King Zhou.

Instead, he was immersed in an ocean of knowledge, as if re-learning all his skill knowledge, making his existing skills even more solid.

The next morning at eight o'clock, Chen Xiangbei woke up late from the sofa.

He picked up his phone from the coffee table and checked the time. When he saw that it was already eight o'clock, he muttered, "As expected, every time I gain knowledge, I wake up late."

He got up and walked into the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, to clear his tired mind.

After washing up, he returned to the living room, fed the fish, and took a look at the fluorescent pearl.
