Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 347 - 343: Counting Gemstones for Fun

After drying her hair, Lu Shouyue handed Lin Wanwan a makeup bag, which contained a set of Helena black gold skincare products without the packaging box.

"Wanwan, here you go. I noticed you haven’t opened it, don’t you like this brand? Or are you just being polite? Don’t be formal with me, just treat it like your own home and feel free to use it."

Lin Wanwan took it and said, "Actually, there’s also a small bottle of travel-sized lotion in the toiletry bag you gave me, and that’s enough."

Lu Shouyue laughed, "Don’t you girls have a lot of skincare steps? My mom spends more than an hour on skincare every morning."

Lin Wanwan laughed, "I’m quick."

Since Lu Shouyue had already opened the package, Lin Wanwan didn’t hesitate and decided to use it. She planned to transfer the money to Lu Shouyue later; this set costs over ten thousand Yuan, definitely not cheap.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Lu, I’m sorry, I accidentally broke your electric scooter. How much does it cost? I’ll compensate you."

Lu Shouyue, of course, smiled and declined, "Don’t mention compensation. It’s just an electric scooter."

Lin Wanwan asked a few more times, but he kept saying the same thing. She had no choice but to check the price online herself later.

"Let’s go, Wanwan, shall we go downstairs for breakfast? How about I make pizza for you in the oven today? We have all the ingredients like cheese and flour at home."

Lin Wanwan shook her head, "I want to sleep a bit more. Mr. Lu, you go ahead and eat without me."

"What’s wrong, didn’t sleep well last night? Not used to the bed?" Lu Shouyue asked with concern when Lin Wanwan said that.

"Maybe, just a little bit." Lin Wanwan casually replied.

"Then I’ll heat a cup of milk for you to drink before bed tonight, warm milk helps with sleep."

Lin Wanwan quickly waved her hand, "No need to trouble yourself, I’ll get used to it. By the way, Mr. Lu, can you contact that club? I’d like to buy some replacement clothes."

Looking at Lin Wanwan wearing his oversized T-shirt, Lu Shouyue found her captivating and honestly didn’t want her to change, so he replied, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed; they don’t sell outerwear."

"Oh well, never mind." Lin Wanwan wasn’t disappointed, she wasn’t expecting much anyway; it was just a casual inquiry.

If they sold clothes, Lu Shouyue would have probably bought them when he left underwear and clothes by her bedside last night.

"Ah~" Lin Wanwan yawned, squeezing out two tears, and waved to Lu Shouyue, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, I’m going back to sleep."

"Alright, sleep some more and have breakfast when you wake up."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Wanwan nodded and waved her hand, turned around into the master bedroom, closed the door, and directly got into bed.

She slept until ten thirty, woken by the bright sunlight.

The blackout curtains in the room were set to automatically open at seven in the morning. With the sunny weather outside and two floor-to-ceiling windows, it was hard to keep sleeping even if she wanted to.

After getting up and brushing her teeth, Lin Wanwan wasn’t in a hurry to go downstairs. She lay back on the bed and emptied the little box to count the gemstones again.

There were a total of thirty-two gemstones of various sizes in the box, with the smallest looking to be at least one carat and the largest over ten carats.

Among them were twenty-five uncut rough stones, which, judging by the color, included ten Rubies, eight Sapphires, and seven Alexandrite stones. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lin Wanwan wasn’t very knowledgeable about gemstones, especially with rough stones, but since she got them in exchange for cotton cloth and mirrors, she figured she couldn’t lose out. It was too good an opportunity to pass up!

The off-white pure cotton cloth she bought last year for RMB 528 per bolt, five bolts total, cost her RMB 2640. The pocket-sized double-sided mirror wasn’t worth mentioning; even though it was a fine piece, it only cost her fifteen Yuan.

Of course, in the Great Tang, mirrors were naturally more valuable, but for Lin Wanwan, they weren’t worth much!

If her family had been more powerful, she would be bringing more goods, or else, just with mirrors, she could have exploited all the wealth of that era worldwide!

After counting the cut and processed gemstones, there were three Rubies, three Sapphires, and one chrysoberyl that had a cat-eye-like sheen on the surface.

These seven gemstones were all dazzling, with the red ones looking like pigeon blood, the blue ones like stars, and the color-changing chrysoberyl which was green under natural light in the daytime and turned red under candlelight at night.

The cut gemstones looked to be two to three carats each, but she would need an expert appraisal to know for sure. Just from casual online research by Lin Wanwan, these gemstones were definitely worth a fortune.

Back in the Great Tang era, there was no expertise in making fakes, and the mining resources were yet to be fully developed. Occasionally, a found gemstone would undoubtedly be a genuine treasure, with the only concern being the variation in quality, not whether it was an artificial counterfeit.

If any one of these gemstones turned out to be of high quality, she’d make a fortune, let alone having thirty-two of them.

"Still not enough! If only I could sail directly to the Mao Bear Country and Lion Country to mine," Lin Wanwan sighed, putting the gemstones into the wooden box, closing it with a click, placing it in her backpack, and happily patting the bag.

Keeping it in this penthouse room is quite safe. Even if it wasn’t locked up, this would not be a place for petty thieves.

According to Lu Shouyue, the property management in this community knew every owner, and any stranger would have several security guards watching them, with even filming or taking photos by non-owners on the first floor prohibited.

Unlike Lin Wanwan’s little villa in Yongcheng, where the security only checked two codes and nothing else.

Even after the homeowners pooled money to form a security team, it still wasn’t very effective, or else Lin Wanwan wouldn’t have encountered a burglar breaking in.

But that’s just how it is; you get what you pay for.

The neighborhood Lin Wanwan lived in was just a mid-level one, not luxurious, with a property fee of only 1.6 Yuan. The property management company wasn’t even well-known domestically; whereas, in Lu Shouyue’s neighborhood, the property fee was twelve Yuan, and the management company was one of the top five international ones.

However, if Lin Wanwan had to choose, she would naturally prefer her own neighborhood.

No matter how many flaws that neighborhood had, it was where she grew up, with memories in every tree and blade of grass, and familiar neighbors every three steps, kin from the Lin Family every five.

All the good stuff could be moved to her home in the Great Tang. There, the Lin Family Manor had kin on the periphery and maids watching the house inside, with only the risk of betrayal from within; it was very rare for outside thieves to succeed since they would be spotted at the village entrance.

After counting her newly acquired treasures, Lin Wanwan tidied up the bed, walked to the window, and checked the brand and price of the electric scooter.
