Chapter 78.4
Editor: Jodi
The abrasive wheel made a grinding noise as it moved from right to left, while Bai Jing calculated the time idly. It should be almost done.
Sure enough, seven to eight minutes later, the sound of the wheel stopped, followed by Zhuo Hang’s off-key shout and the crowd’s gasp.
One could only see that the jadeite of the glass variety’s clean and clear texture was mixed with wispy white cotton, turning the originally transparent material cloudy and filled with impurities.
“How could this happen?”
“It’s white cotton!”
“There’s too much white cotton— afraid extracting much energy from it will be difficult.”
“Sigh, such good jadeite of the glass variety. What a pity.”
The face of the head of the Yuan family didn’t look too good either, however since only two centimeters of the white cotton had been revealed, there was still hope for an increase in bet, so he said to the pale-faced Zhuo Hang, “Keep grinding.”
Zhuo Hang responded quietly, “Yes”, then used the laser cutter to remove the intact apple green jadeite of the glass variety from the front, then placed it aside for weighing: 14.8 kilograms.
This portion of jadeite was worth only about 60 million, at most 70 million.
He became anxious—60 million versus 320 million was a huge gap!
He hoped the white cotton would disappear quickly, otherwise—
[Damn, it’s still white cotton!]
[The bidding king is in danger.]
[No way, this is the best rough stone selected by the organizers!]
[The bidding king can’t collapse!]
[You must have bet on the Yuan family. ‘As the saying goes, ‘it’s hard for even a god to judge an inch of jade’. Anything can happen.]
[Just keep watching, we’ll soon know the result.]
Under the tense atmosphere, beads of cold sweat appeared on Zhuo Hang’s forehead.
He wiped them away casually then shone a strong light along the white cotton-streaked surface, then seeing no hint of green, his heart sank.
The distribution of white cotton was likely extensive.
The abrasive wheel ground along the python belt on the side, creating a two-finger-wide window, then it extended three, five, ten centimeters—but there was still no sign of green!
It’s over!
If another three or four centimeters yielded no green, the bidding king would collapse!
Zhuo Hang’s hands trembled as he held the abrasive wheel. Then he took a few deep breaths, pausing for a minute before resuming grinding.
However when the surface revealed more of that hateful cottony impurity, he felt dizzy—
It was over, the bidding king had collapsed in his hands!
But still holding onto a sliver of hope, he used the laser knife to slice the revealed section, only to find the entire cross-section filled with white cotton, with no green on the other side either!
At this moment, a cold, piercing gaze from behind made Zhuo Hang stiffen. He didn’t dare look at the head of the Yuan family, knowing the man’s ruthless methods.
“The bidding king….has collapsed?”
“The Yuan family has lost everything, gaining neither fame nor fortune.”
“I’m glad I didn’t win the bid for this rough stone, or I’d be the one embarrassed.”
“Sigh, what a pity.”
The people around began murmuring softly, but the head of the Lei family laughed loudly at the old man’s grim expression, “Yuan Song, it seems fortune hasn’t favored your Yuan family, even the bidding king has collapsed.
I suggest you pack up and prepare to go home. There’s nothing for you at this Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium.”
The old man gave him a cold look, “That’s not certain. Continue unraveling the rough stone!”
The time he had agreed on with Yuan Hao was near.
[Damn, the bidding king actually collapsed!]
[Damn it, my bet—]
[The Yuan family isn’t so great after all.]
Starnet was filled with curses, and the Yuan family naturally became the target of some people’s ire. The reputation they had sought for was completely lost with this collapse in bet.
After watching the spectacle, Bai Jing decided not to waste time and began unraveling his rough stone.
He chose the rough stone A02, one that was also a genuine Thanaka skin, shaped like a pear, about 70 centimeters long, with one end larger than the other, measuring 15 to 40 centimeters in width and height, weighing 126.6 kilograms—it could be considered a large rough raw rough stone.
However, the middle and both sides of this rough stone had locks.
And the most problematic was the lock in the middle, over ten centimeters long with radiating branches, a situation that would clearly affect the jadeite inside.
An experienced Rough Stone Solver had opened a window at the furthest point from the lock, positioned relatively low, only two fingers wide.
However the material it showed was sunny green jadeite of the glass variety!
Overall, this rough stone had a potential of it being a significant rise in bet, making it unpredictable.
When the robot assisted Gu Yuanzhao in placing the rough stone on the cutting machine, dozens of live broadcast spheres surrounded Bai Jing.
His fans were ecstatic, while those who had lost their bets were sarcastic.
[God Yun is finally unraveling this rough stone!]
[I’ve been waiting so long, I’m so excited!]
[Even the bidding king collapsed, I bet A02 will collapse too.]
[That’s right, look at the locks on it. There’s no way it will be a rise in bet!]
[I don’t believe it— even Gu Yun must have times when he fails!]
At this moment, Bai Jing smiled slightly at the camera, his fair fingers gripping the abrasive wheel.
