CH 63.2

Lin Luo knew what kind of jade this piece of jadeite had, so he didn’t dare to make knife cuts at will. After careful observation with his special abilities, he drew a line on the side.

The stone cutting machine immediately made a harsh sound, and everyone’s eyes were affixed to the piece of jadeite. However, the first cut did not show any jade, which made everyone feel a little disappointed.

Lin Luo calmly drew a second line, but the second cut still did not cut out any jade.

“Nearly half of it has been cut off, why haven’t we seen any jade yet? Isn’t there any jade inside?”

“Wait…this…this seems to be a black fog layer?” Someone asked in surprise.

Only then did people look at the cut surface again, and the cut surface washed clean by the water really did reveal a layer of black fog.

“It seems to be so…” The people present have basically all done some research on stone gambling, so naturally they can see the difference between the fog layer and the stone layer.

“But isn’t this a mountain stone jadeite? Don’t those generally lack fog layers?”

“Yes, and whats more this is a black fog…” Black fog layers generally are not a good sign when jadeite gambling.

The people around were talking a lot, and they were not very optimistic about this piece of jadeite. Some people even smirked as they enjoyed watching Lin Luo’s misfortune. After all, Lin Luo’s recent limelight has attracted the envy of many people.

“Black fog?” Han XinYuan put down the jadeite he was cutting and looked in the direction of Lin Luo. Black fog appears in jadeite, but it is very rare. As the saying goes, ‘if something goes wrong, there must be a demon [1].’ He vaguely had a hunch for Lin Luo’s gambling stone.

Lin Luo replaced the chrome knife with a grinding wheel and began to grind it against the fog layer.

As the sand and stone dust continued to fly off, a hint of red color gradually emerged.

“This, this is…”

“Red jade?!”

“Oh my God?! No way?!”

The crowd began to boil, and began to look inside, trying to see if red jade was really coming out.

Fortunately, there were a lot of public security personnel in the stone cutting area. After they noticed the movement they immediately came to maintain order, and did not let the restless crowd rush to the front.

Meanwhile Xing Mo, He Kun and the others also reacted extremely quickly to block Lin Luo, and isolated a safe area for him to prevent others from continuing to squeeze close, which allowed Lin Luo to continue to cut the stone.

Lin Luo rinsed the window that had just been ground clear with the water gun, and as expected, he could clearly see a fiery red the size of an egg.

Because the exposed window was relatively small, it wasn’t yet possible to fully determine the clarity of the jade. As far as the color was concerned though, the red of the jade was very intense. As long as the jadeite inside wasn’t too small, then it would absolutely be a rise in value.

A smile appeared on Lin Luo’s face. He picked up the grinding wheel and continued to grind away at the jadeite along the edge of the existing window.

As time passed by, the rare piece of red jade slowly revealed its outline. This red jade had a bright color and fine texture, and looked particularly bright in the sun. More importantly, it was as big as a basketball and weighed about 4 kilograms.

“High ice clarity of pomegranate red color…”

“Oh my God, it turned out to be a pomegranate red high ice jade!”

“Lin Luo! I’ll pay 25 million! Please sell it to me!”

“I’ll do 26 million!”

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer high-quality colorful jadeite, especially the three colors of red, purple, and gold, which have become hard to find.

Unfortunately the natural elements represented by these three colors are the three with the most powerful offensive abilities, so every time jades of these three colors appear, they are sold at sky-high prices.

That’s why these people went so crazy after seeing this jadeite emerge. They all wanted to buy this jadeite.

“35 million.” Andre raised the price by nearly 10 million all at once, scaring away most of the competitors. Excitement was hard to hide in his eyes, and his eyes grew hotter as he watched this jadeite.

“I’m sorry, Andre, but I have my own use for this jade, so I can’t sell it to you.” Lin Luo looked at Andre apologetically.

Hearing this, Andre showed a disappointed expression, but he nodded in understanding, “Well, this jade belongs to you, and it is your freedom to sell it.”

“Thank you…” Lin Luo carefully polished the jade before putting it into his own space button.

Finally, it was the last gambling stone’s turn.

“Xiao Luo, are you tired? Do you want me to cut this piece of jadeite for you?” He Kun asked thoughtfully when he saw sweat beading on Lin Luo’s forehead.

He saw that the last piece of jadeite to be cut was a piece of Federal jadeite with a black matrix stone. It didn’t seem to be a good gamble, so it probably didn’t matter. That’s why He Kun proposed to replace Lin Luo at the cutting machine to give him a chance to rest.

But how could Lin Luo agree? It’s not that he doesn’t believe in He Kun, but that he really values ​​this piece of jadeite. If the jade inside this piece of jadeite was to be damaged at any point, it would be a huge waste!

“No, I’m not tired. Thank you, He Kun.”

“It’s okay. Let us help you lift the jadeite.” In the end, this piece of jadeite was the largest, and was more than one meter tall. He Kun and Xing Mo helped him carry it to the stone cutting machine.

People who couldn’t see the red jade frowned when they saw the last piece of unremarkable looking jadeite that Lin Luo took out, and wanted to leave. It was the first time that most of the stone gambling enthusiasts had seen this type of Federal jadeite, so it was normal for them not to be optimistic.

Hey, typing is really hard today! Everyone should cherish the words that I endured the pain with blood and tears~ Look at me, it’s so pitiful, I would appreciate some nutrient solution, you can leave a claw if you don’t have nutrient solution~ (In addition, if you are interested, you can go to Weibo. Watching my nails… QAQ)
