Chapter 69.2
Editor: Jodi
As Bai Jing was solving the seventh rough stone, little fatty Jin Mao had also solved a piece of green onion heart jadeite of the hibiscus variety from the rough stone he was holding.
Weighing 16.3 kilograms, the tender green with a hint of light yellow, combined with a texture as moist as a hibiscus flower, was considered a high-quality piece among mid-grade jadeites!
“A great gain——”
“I bid 9 million starcoins!”
“10 million starcoins!”
Because of the sizable nature of this green onion heart of the hibiscus variety and its good quality, it sparked a fierce bidding war among the rough stones dealers.
Then in the end, this rough stone, bought with 5.5 million starcoins, was bought at the high price of 12 million. More than double its value!
This was the first time little fatty Jin Mao had unraveled a piece of jadeite worth over ten million, hence he was completely stunned, feeling very surreal.
He remembered how overjoyed he had been when he’d made 10,000 starcoins on the Stone Gambling Street, however now, a piece of jadeite worth over ten million starcoins had come out from his hands!
He had made a net profit of over 6 million starcoins!
If he had used his own ability, he might not even earn that much even if he gambled on rough stones for another ten years.
And this was just from two numbers that Jing Ge had told him casually.
Damn, Jing Ge was simply too awesome!!
Jin Mao looked at the other piece of rough stone that was on the stone table, his eyes glowing. What kind of jadeite was inside this one?
He directly lifted the rough stone that weighed thirty to forty kilograms with his hands, and even though it caused his face and thick neck to turn red from the strain, he was willing to endure it.
Then after putting it on the stone-cutting machine carefully, he observed it for a full ten minutes before drawing a line for the first cut, conservatively estimating that it might not even cut through the skin.
It was only when Father Jin called Jia Kai over to unravel the rough stone together that he cut a slit about two fingers wide into the yellow salt sand skin rough stone nervously.
“Spring green of the glutinous variety!”
Jia Kai’s pupils shrank fiercely as he shouted in surprise.
The texture, as clear and translucent as boiled glutinous rice, with a light green reminiscent of freshly sprouted grass, was fresh and natural, exuding vibrant vitality, very pleasing to the eye.
Then when a strong light was shone on it, one could see that the green seen from the cut surface was clearly deep, indicating that the jadeite was definitely not small in size!
His shock was indescribable, and he had immense admiration for Gu Yun.
Aside from the three rough stones he chose himself, Father Jin had only bought two rough stones, and both had produced mid-to-high grade jadeites. This was too terrifying!
It was only when he solved the rough stones himself that he really understood the difference between him and Gu Yun. It was simply a chasm, and he, was an existence that he could only look up at forever.
Father Jin, on the other hand, smiled so much that his eyes narrowed. Making over 6 million starcoins from a single piece of jadeite, even for someone who had weathered many storms, he had to admit that the profitability of gambling on rough stones was explosive.
Even after two to three years of hard work, his robot production factory wouldn’t make this much starcoins!
Most importantly, his son and God Yun actually knew each other and were friends. This was definitely a blessing from his ancestors.
Father Jin thought about it for a while then decided to not let his son bother Gu Yun continuously, because any relationship that was based on exploitation and money wouldn’t last long.
As long as God Yun could remember to give the Jin family tips from time to time, he would be more than satisfied.
The seventh rough stone Bai Jing unraveled was a bacon crust rough stone, one that was slightly smaller than a basketball, flat-shaped and weighed sixteen to seventeen kilograms, with a skin red like cured meat, smooth, transparent and pleasing to the touch.
The surface of this rough stone didn’t have cracks, however the pine blossoms on its crust was a very bright green, and on the upper half of the rough stone, it formed a continuous line.
As the saying went, ‘It was better to buy a line than a piece.’
Meaning that instead of buying a rough stone that had pine blossoms (green) across a large surface with no jadeite inside, it was better to choose a rough stone that had thread like pine blossoms or ones that were clumped on the surface which was more likely to have jadeite inside.
This was because if the pine blossoms formed a continuous patch, then it was very likely to be ‘explosive pine blossoms’ where the green was concentrated on the surface, leaving the inside colorless or with short, dry, or skewed water seed, turning it into a rough stone that was only capable of producing low-grade jadeite. [Note]
Hence seeing this rough stone, the crowd was once again confused. If cracks, locks and ringworms possessed uncertainty, making it hard for one to judge whether they had penetrated the rough stone deeply or how deep they might have entered into it, then the characteristic of explosive pine blossoms made it quite easy to judge right?
God Yun definitely couldn’t have missed it, right?
Thus, someone asked, “God Yun, isn’t this explosive pine blossoms? Why did you choose this rough stone?”
The person who had just asked was also a Stone Gambler, with a badge that indicated his level on his chest. He looked young, and there was admiration in his eyes as he looked at Bai Jing, however his attitude was very serious.
Bai Jing glanced at him, flipped the rough stone over, then pointed with his slender, jade-like fingers at the very faint needle-like traces at the bottom, “Actually, there are quite a few needle pine blossoms distributed here. These pine blossoms are harder to recognize, and their color is lighter, however they are more likely to produce jadeite—”
“Oh, oh…. thank you, God Yun.”
Gu Yun looking at him with those beautiful tea-colored eyes caused him to blush, his face instantly turning a crimson red as he didn’t even dare to look up at him again, completely devoid of the courage he’d had when he had been asking him the question just now.
[Tsk, I bet this Stone Gambler is a male fan of God Yun!]
[And he’s so handsome, just very shy~]
[Look at Young Master Gu’s expression, brrr, it suddenly feels so cold.]
[If looks could kill, he’d have been killed by Young Master Gu countless times by now!]
[Hee hee, he’s jealous, he’s jealous—]
Meanwhile, those closest to Bai Jing opened their eyes wide in order to look at the spot he had just pointed to, however even after looking for a long time, they still couldn’t find any needle pine blossoms, then they estimated that they would probably not even be able to find them with magnifying glasses.
Moreover with so many rough stones at Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium, their eyes were getting blurry, yet, God Yun could still find this inconspicuous needle pine blossoms at the bottom of a rough stone. This, this, what kind of eyesight was this!
