Chapter 21: Stone Gamble – Part 2

Yuan HongTao grit his teeth with hatred, secretly comforting himself His next piece of jadeite is even more certain, and Lin Luo’s next stone bet will surely fail!

Sure enough, after the last piece of jadeite from the two of them was taken away, the people on StarNet exploded because of how poorly they expected Lin Luo’s piece of jadeite to perform.

This large piece of jadeite, which is half a person tall, has a long crack on the surface, which has almost broken the piece of jadeite. Inside crack, only impurities such as tinea scab residue and sand seen. All these impurities look very disgusting, not like a piece of jadeite at all, but more like a broken stone from pulled out of who-knows-which mud pit.

People on StarNet talked a lot, and began to doubt Lin Luo’s gambling level. Someone who watched the whole process of good deeds quietly announced the origin of this big piece of jadeite and the origin of this stone gambling battle, which immediately caused an uproar.

“This stone bet is not fair at all!”

“Unexpectedly this Yuan HongTao turned out to be such a person!”

“That’s right! I’m not ok with this, letting a novice make a bet like this, it’s like deliberately setting him up! Even if you win, it’s not really a win!”

Although the remarks have fallen to Lin Luo’s favor, people are still not optimistic about this piece of jadeite and think it will fail. On the other hand, Yuan HongTao’s remaining piece looks much better.

At present, it seems that Lin Luo’s last jade puts him in a better position, but no one can say what Yuan HongTao’s jade will look like when it is cut out. Maybe there will be a sudden counterattack, and Lin Luo will be over…

Lin Luo didn’t know and didn’t care about the thoughts of those people on StarNet. Together with Xing Mo, he put this bulky and heavy jadeite on the stone cutter, then pointed it at the fissure and lowered the chrome knife.

He may as well, after all the fissure had almost divided this piece of jadeite into two halves diagonally anyways, so he simply separated it completely so that he could cut the stone further.

The knife cut without any suspense, except to show that the stone layer on the cut surface was dirt.

Xing Mo helped Lin Luo temporarily put the smaller half of jadeite on the ground so that he could continue to cut the larger half of jadeite.

Lin Luo knew that there was nothing in the larger half of the jadeite, so the cuts were very quick. After four consecutive cuts, this large piece of jadeite was divided into five small pieces with nothing showing on the cut surfaces.

But Yuan HongTao on the other side broke out a burst of exclamation, obviously his side has shown value. Although Yuan HongTao also cut several times, he cut into fog layer in the third cut, and now he has started to sand his stone.

Lin Luo started the second half of the jadeite unhurriedly, without showing the slightest anxiety. This made Wang Xun and Qian Sen who were in charge of supervising the stone gambling battle give him look of recognition.

It is not common to see young people with such stable psychological quality. Additionally it’s said that his luck is very good. In addition to the accumulation of experience, the gambling industry is also very particular about luck. Given time, this child might really become a great expert in gambling.

It’s a pity… this gambling battle is likely to ruin this child’s future…

“It’s green! It’s green!” Yuan HongTao shouted in exclamation again, it was obvious that he had sanded the stone.

On Lin Luo’s side, the cut looked bad again, and the stone layer was still exposed. He didn’t rush to throw away the waste rock, straightened out the remaining jadeite, and cut again.

This time, a red mist appeared in the place where Lin Luo cut.

“There’s fog?”

“How can fog appear at this time?”

“Is this… good or bad?”

The crowd of onlookers looked at each other, and some of them couldn’t react to the strange performance of this piece of jadeite.

It’s really hard for such a piece of garbage to reveal an inch of jade. Right when this piece of jadeite was just about to fail, when it is cut nearly to the end, suddenly there is a layer of fog which is really strange.

The red mist is a kind of fog layer that likes running along the skin. If it appears at the beginning, it would probably be considered to be a loss, but if it appears at the end like this, it’s just weird…

At this time, this piece of jadeite had been cut to only one-sixth the size. Under the observation of the holographic mode, someone finally noticed something wrong.

At the bottom of this piece of jadeite, there is actually a dual matrix formation known as ‘cypress branches’ and ‘pine flowers’. This means that the pine flower pattern in the matrix is distributed on the surface of the jadeite husk in a cypress branch shape. Usually they are white or light yellow, which is difficult to find.

This kind of formation is not very common and not many people know it, and this piece of jadeite is huge with this cypress branch pine flower located at the bottom of the jadeite making it even more difficult to find.

If the this pine flower has color, it means that the interior is likely to have an excellent quality green, and the pine flowers on Lin Luo’s jadeite were dark brown. Likely this was missed in the selecting process because it looks almost like the black tinea scabs on the surface of the skin in addition to being in an awkward location. As a result Yuan HongTao’s loss has become Lin Luo’s gain.

At this time, Lin Luo had changed to the grinding wheel and began to grind against the red mist layer.

The red mist layer was gradually ground away, revealing a blood red hidden beneath it.

“R-red… red…” The closest person couldn’t even speak clearly.

“It’s red jade!!” The second person yelled after looking at the window.

The crowd hurriedly flocked to Lin Luo’s direction and surrounded his stone cutting machine. Wang Xun and Qian Sen were also trampled on by several feet. Fortunately, it was a holographic live broadcast. No matter how thick the crowds are, It will not affect the viewing of people on StarNet.

Yuan HongTao and the steward next to him both showed expressions like seeing a ghost. That piece of trash jadeite popped out a red jade?!

How is this possible?!

The movement of Lin Luo’s hand did not speed up or slow down at all. He slowly adjusted the angle, and showed the beautiful jade interior of the jadeite to the people little by little.

“Gold…Gold…Golden silk [1]…”

“It’s golden silk red jadeite!!” Different from ordinary golden silk jadeite, this is gold silk in the true literal sense.

Everyone opened their mouths in disbelief. Although the exposed jadeite was blood red, it was actually mixed with uniform golden threads.

“This this…”

This is simply a big increase in a big increase!

From such a piece of trash jadeite that was regarded as a free gift with purchase, a jade of excellent quality ice type was revealed unexpectedly. Not to mention that the jade of the ice type was revealed, it was even red with gold thread.

This shows that in this piece of jade, there are two elemental energies of fire element and gold element at the same time, and its value is not as simple as one plus one.

Looking at the direction of this jade, this piece of golden silk red jade is not small, at least about 3 kilograms [2], and its value is definitely more than 1 million!

Even Xing Mo couldn’t hide his excitement. He knew that Lin Luo would not fight an unsure battle, and he also knew that this piece of jadeite could definitely win, but he absolutely could not have imagined that it would be such a huge win!

As soon as the golden silk red jadeite came out, it was actually no longer necessary to continue to solve Yuan HongTao’s jadeite. Although his side came out green, it was still a low-value bean green jade, which was not comparable to Lin Luo’s jadeite…

“That’s not possible…” Yuan HongTao almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, and the steward next to him was ashamed.

Millions in value of gold silk and red jade… it turned out to be… what I personally gave away…

It’s over… the two of us are over…

Yuan HongTao personally ruined his future, and the steward was not much better…

If Shi Quan knew about this, they would definitely be finished…

[1] Hit up the glossary page for more jade details. The jade probably looks like this but since its ice type the red would be very translucent and it sounds like the gold filaments are more aligned:
