Xiao Qiao was remarkably fast, but luck wasn't on her side. She used a special CIA technique to crack the code of the first box, revealing a small emerald, which she promptly took. Unlocking the second box was grueling, its password intricate, and it took her three attempts to get it open. In this auction, all the treasures were exceptionally rare on the market, like the Luminous Pearl or the sapphire for Leo. Such items were difficult to circulate, only sellable to collectors; otherwise, they could only be admired for a lifetime. But Xiao Qiao wasn't about to admire them; she wanted quick cash. The fastest way was to take on a heist mission for commission; otherwise, they might sit in her hands for a year with no way to liquidate them. That's why she would take on such dangerous tasks.
In other words, she did it to challenge herself in her free time.
