"Master Gambler of the Qin family, your thirty minutes are up. Please present your three chosen rough jade stones," the host said with a smile.
"Here are the rough jade stones we've chosen," Master Zhou said calmly.
The host nodded and signaled the staff to cut the three rough jade stones.
The staff carried the three stones to the workbench and began with the first one chosen by Master Zhou.
This time, instead of green, red appeared!
Jade also includes green jade and red jade. This one was a red jade with excellent texture and moisture!
After all the skin was polished off, this piece of red jade was quite large, more than a head bigger than a person's. It could be made into many sets of jewelry and was very valuable. After consistent appraisal by the masters, this piece of red jade was valued at 1.1 million!
"That's great! Valued at 1.1 million!"
"The first rough jade stone from the Ma family was valued at 900,000, and our Qin family has a rough jade stone valued at 1.1 million. Master Zhou has given us a great start!"
"Well done, Master Zhou!"
"If only we had listened to Master Zhou earlier. This Mr. Chen's interference might ruin things."
Many people began to agree with Master Zhou after seeing the rough jade stone he chose.
"Kid, what do you say now? Are you still going to be stubborn?"
Master Zhou provocatively looked at Chen Xuan beside him, his tone filled with arrogance.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "I was talking about the other one you chose, not this one. What are you so proud of?"
"You... you just keep being stubborn!"
As soon as Master Zhou finished speaking, there was a sudden exclamation. He quickly turned his head, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground with a plop!
It turned out that the second rough jade stone had also been cut!
The first cut was made at one-third of the rough stone, and there was no green at all. There was no jade inside!
Master Zhou looked at this scene and swallowed hard.
Could it be... could it be that he was mistaken...
"Continue!"
The host also frowned and signaled the staff to continue.
The staff made another cut, but there was still no green in the rough stone.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Those who had just praised Master Zhou looked as if they had been slapped in the face, their expressions as dark as the bottom of a pot, unable to utter a word.
"Continue!"
The host was also full of doubt, but he couldn't believe that Master Zhou would choose a worthless stone on such an important occasion!
However, when the staff cut the entire rough stone to pieces, they didn't even cut out a thumbnail-sized piece of rough jade!
Master Zhou was completely dumbfounded!
He never expected this to be a piece of rough jade!
This time, he had lost face completely!
The host said solemnly, "I'm very sorry, but the rough jade stone chosen by the Qin family has been confirmed to be a worthless stone after being cut by the staff!"
"Now the Ma family is sure to win!"
"That's right. The Qin family has three rough jade stones, one of which is worthless, and another valued at 1.1 million. The Ma family has cut a total of 8.6 million worth of rough jade stones. The Qin family needs to cut at least 7.5 million worth of rough jade stones to break even."
"My goodness, what kind of jade can be worth 7.5 million from a single rough stone?"
"Isn't this a fantasy?"
There was a lot of discussion around, as the scales of victory had clearly tipped in favor of the Ma family, and it seemed only the announcement of the Ma family's victory was left.
Qin Ling and the others never expected such a situation to arise.
Master Ma looked at Chen Xuan in surprise. Everything Chen Xuan had said had come true. Could this young man be pretending to be weak while being a master gambler himself?
Chen Xuan looked at the ashen-faced Master Zhou and smiled, "Master Zhou, did I say it correctly?"
"You..."
"What do you mean, 'you'!"
Chen Xuan's words choked Master Zhou half to death.
He smiled at the host and said, "It's time to cut the one I chose. Please be careful when cutting it, and preferably use the polishing method."
"Polishing? Alright!"
The host frowned, then pondered for a moment and nodded.
The polishing method is generally used for extremely precious and well-formed rough jade stones. It seemed that Chen Xuan had high hopes for this rough jade stone.
Since it was Chen Xuan's request, he naturally had no objections and immediately instructed the staff to polish the skin of the third rough jade stone.
The staff carefully rubbed the skin of the rough jade stone with tools.
All eyes were on the rough jade stone, filled with anticipation!
The Qin family members were even more nervous. Qin Xuelan twisted her fair fingers together.
As the staffhead lowered to polish the skin, he suddenly felt a hint of emerald green catch his eye. He looked closely, but there was nothing. He continued to rub, and the next moment, a dazzling emerald green light struck his vision.
The staff member had an intuition that the jade opened from this rough stone would definitely be of a very precious type!
He quickly stopped, scooped up a ladle of water, and splashed it onto the rough jade stone. The dust on the stone was washed away, revealing an extremely vibrant green!
It was as if it emitted light!
"So emerald green, so translucent? Is this glass jade?"
"I didn't expect the rough jade stone to be opened as old pit glass jade! This is going to be valuable!"
Many people discussed.
Everyone was surprised that the rough jade stone chosen by Chen Xuan had yielded old pit glass jade. It was known that even a master gambler might not open a piece of old pit glass jade in a month.
Master Ma became even more convinced that Chen Xuan was playing dumb.
As for Master Zhou, his face turned extremely ugly, as if he had been slapped in the face again.
"Hmph, isn't it just a piece of old pit glass jade? Such a large piece of old pit glass jade is worth at most five million. We still win," Ma Erdao said through gritted teeth.
Those around also echoed his sentiment.
Chen Xuan didn't care and smiled, "Continue!"
The host was stunned. Could it be that this was not old pit glass jade?
He was also an experienced person, having seen countless treasures. He stared at the extremely emerald green rough jade stone, and a thought suddenly struck him. Could this be that thing?
At this thought, the host couldn't hold back any longer and urged, "Quickly polish off all the skin!"
The staff member, not knowing why the host was so excited, quickly polished off all the skin of the rough jade stone, then splashed some water on it, washing away all the stone chips. A piece of extremely emerald green jade appeared before everyone's eyes.
"This is... this is..."
The staff member's eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost fell out.
He swallowed hard, not daring to think further.
The entire venue was silent!
Everyone was captivated by the beautiful jade!
Master Tian stood up with a "whoosh," "It's that thing!"
