The crowd teased Polly, bursting into laughter.
The young man glanced at his watch and hesitated, "Maybe we should go back for now..."
Didn't she agree to help me with the ghost problem?
Lilly glanced at the sky, "Big brother, it's not dark yet. Ghosts only come out at night."
The young man fell silent.
After the first group of onlookers dispersed, a few more arrived intermittently, keeping the scene alive.
Other vendors had empty stalls, with only a few people coming by to inquire.
Lilly's stall, on the other hand, was bustling with customers, but unfortunately, they all ran away after asking about the price of her bracelets.
As the evening approached, Lilly sighed, realizing that business wasn't going well.
She had only managed to sell one necklace.
But it was still good. The large stone was found underground and didn't cost anything, and she had made the necklace herself without any labor costs.
The string for the necklace was taken from discarded rice bags belonging to Margaret, so it didn't cost a dime either.
In the end, she made a net profit of 30 million.
"Let's go," Lilly began packing up.
At that moment, a chubby man with large ears and a large gold ring on his finger stopped and said, "Wait!"
Lilly looked up.
Wow—a rich spirit!
Lilly's gaze shifted behind the chubby man, where a shimmering golden ghost hovered.
He was dressed in fur, wearing a hat, and had ten necklaces hanging around his neck, complete with emeralds, rubies, and large gold chains.
He had a string of gold bracelets on his arm, and even his teeth were gold-plated.
Lilly became curious. How did this rich spirit die?
So rich, did he die because of his wealth?
The rich spirit looked at Lilly cautiously.
The chubby man held a bracelet in his hand and asked, "How much is this?"
Lilly said, "Three hundred million. This one provides spiritual protection..."
As she spoke, she glanced at the ghost hovering above the chubby man's head.
The chubby man interrupted her with a confident tone, "No need to tell me all that. Wrap it up!"
Lilly's eyes widened in fear.
Alright, wrap it up, wrap it up!
Lilly took out a plastic bag and wrapped it up for him.
The chubby man fell silent.
Such a precious jade and it was wrapped in a plastic bag?
Not even a box?
He was speechless.
He didn't know whether this jade bracelet had any spiritual significance or protective properties. All he knew was that it was a genuine Royal Purple Imperial Jade bracelet.
The Royal Purple Imperial Jade is truly a rare find!
One could even say it's a once-in-a-century discovery!
He is in the jade business and even dabbles in gambling with raw jade stones, so he naturally knows how rare this bracelet is.
It may cost three billion, which is a bit expensive, but those who play with jade are often willing to spend a lot of money... With this jade bracelet, he can repackage it a bit, create some fictional rumors, and use the concept of warding off evil spirits to create a gimmick...
By selling it again, he can easily make several tens of millions more.
It's a pity that the other two bracelets have some flaws as if they were made from offcuts... They're not as good as this one.
Otherwise, he would have bought all three...
That would be impolite of her, so she needs to ask first. But this man doesn't let people get close or respond to them.
Josh was confused, "People invite ghosts?"
Lilly nodded, "Yes, just like in Uncle Jonas' circle, there are people who invite little ghosts."
Josh understood that she was referring to the entertainment industry when she mentioned circles.
Indeed, rumors have circulated that celebrities invite little ghosts.
But it's not a good thing; it can backfire. Josh couldn't believe people invited ghosts.
But when he heard the name... Rich Spirit.
Hmm... It seems to make sense now.
Lilly said, "Let's go~ We're going to help Big Brother solve the problem."
They can't let those two hundred dollars go to waste... Oh no, they need to provide good service in the business.
"Big Brother, what's your name?" Lilly asked as she tidied up the remaining two bracelets, a necklace, and a ring on the makeshift stall.
The young man said, "I'm called Dan."
Lilly exclaimed, "Huh?"
Then?
Dan said, "D, A, N, Dan."
Lilly and Josh were speechless.
Max said in a dumbfounded manner, "Can there be a name like that?"
Drake calmly said, "He must have been lazy when choosing a name."
Dan scratched his head and said, "I think my name is not bad. Once you get used to it, it's fine. I feel like it's unique and stylish!"
Lilly nodded and packed everything into the plastic bag, including Granny's tablecloth, which she neatly folded and put into her shoulder bag.
Polly didn't go into the pet carrier and instead perched on Lilly's shoulder, muttering, "I'm called Lilly..."
