Chapter 261: I'm so Angry!


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It could be said that the ores here only produced top-quality jades. If the quality of the jade was good enough, it would be very valuable.

"Damn it, why am I feeling so nervous? This rock isn't mine anyway!" The stonecutter's hand was full of sweat.

Everyone around felt the same way. It was just like playing poker—before the cards were all revealed, both the audience and the player would inevitably feel nervous.

This was actually the charm of stone gambling.

With one just one cut, the value of the stone might either rise from 400,000 to 4 million, turning into a phoenix from a chicken, or it might become a worthless stone justing take up space.

As everyone held their breath, the stonecutter's face was full of nervousness. Finally, he set his heart, placed his hand onto the stone cutting machine and started to cut the stone.

As the saw gear of the machine sawed into the stone, everyone's heart was in suspense, intently glaring at the spot that it was cutting.

"Pour water!" After cutting it for a while, the stonecutter immediately asked someone to pour water along the opening to wash away the debris so he could better observe if there was anything inside so far.

Very quickly, his assistant poured water down the opening and washed away the debris. The stonecutter took a small brush and carefully brushed away the debris still it stuck inside, then squatted down to observe it.

"This... I wonder if there is anything inside..."

"According to Young Master Dali's luck, it shouldn't be too bad, right?"

"That's hard to say, stone gambling is a very incredible thing."

The audiences discussed and gave their opinions, saying all kinds of things. Of course, the focus of their discussion was about Hong Dali's luck.

"OK, it's starting again. Look!"

This time, after the stonecutter turned on the machine, he didn't hesitate any more and directly cut all the way down. With the screeching sound of the saw gear cutting the stone, the whole ore split into two from the center.

"Sigh, nothing." The surrounding crowd sighed. It was obvious that there was no hint of green on either side of the ore. This showed that he had lost the gamble for this stone.

"Young Master Dali, you see..." 400,000 was gone with just one cut, the stonecutter felt a bit embarrassed.

However, this depended on who the buyer was. Being someone who could give away tips in the hundreds of thousands, just a mere 400,000 was nothing to Hong Dali. Therefore, his tone was quite calm. "It doesn't matter if there's nothing inside, aren't there still so many more stones? Cut each of down one by one, choose any of them to cut."

Then, Hong Dali found a chair to sit down and read his novel on his perfect-grade nouveau riche golden phone. As he read, he beamed with delight and said, "Hehe, the reception is really good. Look at this speed, it's just like broadband... Ah, that who, call and tell me if something comes out. It's really boring to watch the stone being cut..."

The surrounding people were really impressed with him.

It wasn't like they had never seen people who didn't give regards to anything before, but this was definitely the first time they saw someone with such a big heart.
