Gao Jun looked at Wang Chao dissatisfiedly and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's begin then. Within thirty minutes, the two of you will each select ten stones!"
"No problem," Wang Chao nodded, then turned to Han Fei and said, "Mr. Han, you're older and a senior, so I'll let you go first."
"Hehe, let me? With your level of expertise, competing with me in stone selection is your glory. I'll let you go first," Han Fei disdainfully glanced at Wang Chao, looking down on him.
In his opinion, even if Wang Chao picked first, it would just be a matter of luck in opening blind boxes, and he wouldn't be able to find any decent jade stones at all.
After all, in the jade industry, luck may play a role, but not that many times.
Letting Wang Chao go first was naturally to let him reveal his hand first.
"Are you sure?" Wang Chao smiled.
He had the ability of clairvoyance and could sense the presence of spiritual energy, so finding jade stones was an easy task for him.
"As an elder in the appraisal world, I naturally should show respect to my juniors. Enough with the nonsense, let's start quickly," Han Fei said calmly, exuding the demeanor of a grand master.
"No wonder he's called Mr. Han, impressive!"
"In picking among so many rough stones, whoever goes first has the advantage. Mr. Han's humility and courtesy in letting others go first is truly the mark of a grand master."
"In this day and age, in a stone selection competition where dignity and face are at stake, letting the other party go first is a display of the magnanimity that only grand masters possess."
"Compared to that, this Wang Chao seems too arrogant. How could he, an outsider, possibly be a match for Mr. Han?"
"He dares to challenge Mr. Han in stone selection without knowing his own capabilities, what an attempt to gain fame."
Many people witnessed this scene and praised Han Fei wholeheartedly, admiring him even more.
At the same time, they looked down on Wang Chao with disdain, belittling him to the dust.
Feeling the enthusiasm of those people, Han Fei remained calm, his gaze even more serene, but his heart was filled with a strange sense of satisfaction.
He enjoyed the feeling of being praised, which made him feel like a superior figure.
So, he still stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Wang Chao and said, "I'll let you have ten minutes to pick first, begin and make good use of your time."
Wang Chao smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han. Since that's the case, I won't be polite."
"Be quick, my time is limited," Han Fei said indifferently.
Wang Chao smiled and ignored Han Fei. Instead, he circulated his true energy to his eyes and looked at the numerous rough stones in the field.
Clairvoyance!
In his line of sight, the spiritual energy inside all the rough stones was clearly visible.
"This one, this one, and this one."
After scanning the area, Wang Chao immediately pointed out the ten stones with the most spiritual energy in the whole venue. He even asked the staff for a marker to make a mark on them.
The whole process went smoothly, taking less than a minute. Wang Chao had already made his selections and asked the staff to move the ten stones onto the stage.
These ten stones varied in size and shape. Some were as large as a faceplate, while others were only the size of a fist. Wang Chao had picked them from various stalls, ranging from as far as three hundred meters away to right under his feet.
"So quickly chosen? Is that even possible?"
"Looks like he's just guessing. How can he compete with Master Han in stone gambling? Haha, overestimating himself!"
"Hahaha, he's just humiliating himself!"
Seeing Wang Chao's casual selection of stones, everyone at the scene exchanged glances, then burst into laughter, their eyes full of ridicule as they looked at Wang Chao.
"Brother Wang, is this how you choose stones?" Qin Feng was also stunned.
He had originally thought that Wang Chao would have some extraordinary ability to pick out good jade stones, but he didn't expect him to be so casual.
"Is there a problem?" Wang Chao asked in confusion.
Qin Feng looked at Wang Chao's confident demeanor and felt complicated.
Is there a problem?
Yes, there is!
A big problem!
Choosing ten stones so casually, even if one has money, it can't withstand such waste. He wanted to say something, but Wang Chao was already bargaining with Gao Jun and quickly paid the money.
Thirty thousand yuan for ten stones.
On average, each stone cost three thousand yuan.
Qin Feng frowned.
For Qin Feng, this amount of money was not much.
But whether he could make a profit from it was a big question.
This was just the bronze VIP level, and obviously, even if something unexpected happened, the items here wouldn't have much value.
With Wang Chao's casual purchases, the possibility of making a loss was high.
After Wang Chao finished paying, he turned to Han Fei and said, "Master Han, I have made my selections, it's your turn now."
"Young man, are you sure about being so casual?" Han Fei said in a deep voice.
"In stone gambling, of course, you have to be quick, fierce, and accurate. Is it considered casual to find the most valuable jade stones in the shortest amount of time?" Wang Chao laughed.
Han Fei's face darkened, and he regretted it a little.
Wang Chao's casual attitude makes him feel like he's being looked down upon.
Even if he wins against Wang Chao, it would be an unsportsmanlike victory, not honorable.
"Mr. Han, it's your turn," Gao Jun said.
Han Fei's face darkened as he stepped forward, took out the tools he carried with him, and began observing and identifying some stones.
His movements were professional, and his skills were impressive. After selecting the suitable rough stones, he immediately had Yan Jun mark them.
"Quick, take a photo!"
Many viewers saw Han Fei in action and their eyes lit up with excitement. They took out their phones and aimed at Han Fei, wanting to record his skills and learn from him.
Yan Jun marked the stones while watching Han Fei coldly, and said to Wang Chao, "Kid, learn something. My master is the real deal."
Wang Chao looked at him with a dumbfounded expression and remained silent.
Arguing with an idiot is a waste of breath.
At this moment, Qin Feng came to Wang Chao and whispered, "Brother Wang, are you being too hasty like this?"
Han Fei is a master appraiser, using tools and careful observation for every purchase.
Compared to that, Wang Chao's hasty purchase of ten stones seemed reckless!
"As long as I win," Wang Chao said confidently.
"Heh, win? Wang Chao, do you really think you're a master?" Duan Wuya sneered.
Wang Chao also looked at Duan Wuya with a dumbfounded expression, then ignored him.
Such behavior made Duan Wuya angry again.
The silent mockery made him even more infuriated.
"Damn it, wait until we leave the jade market, and I'll show you how I'll kill you!" Duan Wuya viciously stared at Wang Chao, thinking sinisterly in his heart.
About twenty minutes later, Han Fei also selected ten rough stones and placed them on the stage.
"Now, let's start cutting the stones," Gao Jun said.
eαglesnᴏνel As he spoke, twenty machines were brought up, cutting the stones chosen by Wang Chao and Han Fei respectively.
"Wang Chao, this time my master will definitely win, just wait to admit defeat!" Yan Jun grinned, glaring at Wang Chao.
He had followed Han Fei just now and witnessed his true ability, as well as learned what kind of jade was inside the rough stones, enough to beat jade stones worth less than a hundred thousand.
Han Fei did not speak, he just stood confidently on the stage, looking like he had already won.
"Who wins and who loses is not yet known, don't speak so confidently," Wang Chao said calmly.
"Mr. Han's No. 1 stone has produced green jadeite!" Just then, a staff member saw the green light in the rough stone and immediately shouted.
