Chapter 70: Glass Type
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As soon as the host announced the start of the competition, everyone rushed over. There was a limit to the number of stones. If they went early, there would be no good stuff left.
Su Meng watched as everyone fought over the stones. She stood at the back and did not move. She just watched them quietly.
Everyone present thought that the reason why Su Meng did not fight over the stones was because she, as a woman, could not compete with other men. Sheng Qiu also thought so and was anxious for Su Meng in his seat.
After a short while, everyone took the stones that they thought were of good quality and returned to their original positions.
A handsome man walked up to Su Meng with a stone the size of a fist and asked with concern, “Do you need my help?”
“Thank you, but there’s no need.” Su Meng refused with a smile. Then, she walked to the pile of stones and didn’t make a move.
Seeing that everyone had almost taken the stones, Su Meng didn’t have any intention of taking them. The host reminded, “The time is almost up. Friends who haven’t chosen yet should hurry up. If they don’t get the stones when the time is up, they will be regarded as forfeiting.”
Wei Xue saw that Su Meng was just staring at the stones in a daze, as if she didn’t know which one to choose.
She was gloating in her heart, but she said, “Brother Wei Ting, it seems that Sister Su Meng doesn’t know which one to choose. Doesn’t she know how to do it? But why did she come to participate in the competition?”
Wei Ting didn’t say anything.
Wei Xue continued, “Oh right, Sister Su Meng won’t want to add more people like she did at the club last time, right? Last time, she added quite a few men. This time, the participants are all boys. Brother Wei Ting, Sister Su Meng is so outstanding. You have to cherish her.”
Wei Xue really didn’t know what to say. She knew what Wei Ting cared about, so she wanted to say it. As long as she could make Wei Ting hate Su Meng, then she had succeeded.
The host was counting down, and there were only a few seconds left. Su Meng had chosen the biggest rock in the hall, and that rock was already at her waist.
Seeing that she had chosen that rock, everyone present expressed that they were done.
Although they weren’t sure how good the jade they had chosen was, at least on the surface, they could faintly see traces of jade.
As for the stone Su Meng chose, not only was there no trace of the jade on the surface, they also couldn’t sense any traces of the jade in it. In addition, the bigger the stone, the lower the probability of producing jadeite, especially with such a large stone. If there really was jade in it, then everyone would definitely be able to sense it.
Choosing this way was the behavior of an outsider. This lady was only here to join in the fun, and everyone tacitly agreed to kick her out of the competition.
“Why did you choose this one? There can’t be jade in this one, let alone jadeite.” The handsome boy walked over and asked Su Meng with a regretful expression.
Su Meng didn’t say anything. She just stood there calmly, waiting for the staff to appraise it.
There were only a few dozen people in the competition, and there were ten experts who came to appraise the stones. Each of them was responsible for a few stones and began to polish them.
Except for Su Meng, the rest of the stones were all very small and polished very quickly. Seven of the stones selected had high-quality jadeite. The rest of the people either had too many impurities in their jadeite, or they had a few pieces of jade in pieces, all of them were unqualified.
Su Meng’s stone was the largest, so it was placed at the back. Of course, it also attracted the attention of everyone present.
The outer layer of the stone slowly peeled off with the loud roar of the machine, revealing the jade inside. The remaining gravel was peeled off by the expert personally to prevent the machine from destroying the jade.
Everyone saw that it was indeed jade inside, but it was of the lowest quality and had little value.
“Looks like Miss Su made a mistake this time.” The host was not bad. Seeing that Su Meng was a girl, she spoke very tactfully, feeling pity for Su Meng.
Just as everyone was about to listen to the host read out the list of names for advancement, the expert who was observing Su Meng’s stone suddenly called out to the host, “Wait a minute!”
He picked up his tools again and gently ground away the thin layer of sand on the surface of the jade. Unexpectedly, a pure and transparent green color was revealed inside.
The expert shone his flashlight on the jade. Those who were close to him saw the light of the flashlight shining through the jade, sparkling and translucent.
“Oh my god, it’s a glass type! And it’s a high-quality glass type!” Even the expert was shocked.
They had participated in the Feng Shui Master Competition many times and had opened countless stones. This was the first time they had opened a glass type. It was the best of the jades.
The host was also shocked by this scene. After a moment of silence, he praised, “Miss Su is the only lady present. She has opened the only glass type in the competition. This is simply a gift!”
