At this point, Chen Dong and his team had already begun cutting the stone.
Another piercing sound rang out, but it seemed to be ignored by the onlookers.
"Sizzle... thud..."
Everyone held their breath, just as they had when they watched Shang Yanfei cut the stone.
The stone skin was cut open.
Upon closer inspection, there was nothing there.
"Sigh!" Everyone sighed in unison.
Upon seeing this, Shang Yanfei's face lit up with glee, and she gloated.
"See? I told you they couldn't do it. I was right!" He turned to Ouyang Ming triumphantly.
“Yes, yes! That’s true…” Ouyang Ming nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
In the crowd, Lao Qin's face showed disappointment.
He looked at Chen Dong apologetically, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't watch it properly, this is the loss I caused!"
"It's alright, that's normal!" Chen Dong said calmly.
In his view, gambling on stones is either a gamble that pays off or a gamble that fails.
Indeed, he was absolutely right.
The so-called jade gambling certainly requires a keen eye, but it also requires a lot of luck.
Moreover, statistically speaking, the chances of failure are greater.
Otherwise, every time he wins a bet on a stone, it would attract so many onlookers and admirers.
Everyone hopes to find a good piece of jade on their first try, but it's normal not to.
Even those rough stones that look promising often turn out to be unusable or produce only subpar jade.
Just like life, eight or nine out of ten things in life don't go as planned.
Successful and triumphant events only account for one or two percent.
If Chen Dong hadn't come to this world as a reborn person, he wouldn't have achieved such great things.
Therefore, the sages always taught people to be content with what they have.
People are only happy and able to achieve more when they focus on what they already have.
Seeing Chen Dong's performance, those around him couldn't help but marvel and admire him.
Many of those who come to participate in jade gambling seem particularly anxious, with fluctuating emotions and a fear of loss, but it is rare to see someone as composed as Chen Dong.
Of course, those who can remain calm are usually older. They have experienced much of life, which allows them to demonstrate profound refinement.
Some people steered the conversation toward Shang Yanfei.
"However, the way that guy was cutting the stone just now was really hilarious."
"Who can argue with that?"
Shang Yanfei hadn't expected that her behavior and demeanor had left such an impression on these people.
Hearing them talking about him like that, he turned pale with anger, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists.
He glanced at Chen Dong and Lao Qin, and secretly scoffed, "You two, old and young, just keep pretending!"
Ouyang Ming, standing to the side, felt an even greater chill in his heart. He recalled the days when he and Chen Dong had battled wits.
He kept reviewing his battle of wits with Chen Dong and increasingly felt that Chen Dong's mentality was frighteningly stable.
Perhaps Chen Dong possessed unparalleled wisdom and resources, including information, strategies, and tactics beyond the reach of ordinary people. Yet, I treated Chen Dong merely as an ordinary opponent, carelessly losing a crucial opportunity and suffering a great loss.
It seems we still need to find a way to remind Shang Yanfei.
Otherwise, I might have to die with him.
Chen Dong was unaware of what the others were thinking, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.
He said to the stone-cutting master, "Cut it again and see if there's anything there. If not, let's move on to the next piece of rough stone."
The stone cutter examined the stone for a long time, found the most suitable spot, picked up a pen, drew a diagonal line on it, and said to Chen Dong, "Let's start cutting from here."
Chen Dong nodded. "Okay."
Then, the piercing sound rang out again.
The stone was cut open again.
The cut surface of the stone revealed a moist, glossy appearance.
Old Qin's spirits lifted.
Chen Dong's brow twitched. "There really is?"
"Wow, I've got it! I've got it!" This shout drew everyone closer to look.
"It really is true!"
"Judging by its appearance, this is a fine piece of jade!"
This color usually indicates that there is jade underneath, and that it is good quality jade.
The remaining portion is at least the size of an adult's fist.
This means that the largest piece of jade that can be cut out would be about the size of a ping-pong ball.
Just by looking at its texture and clarity, you can be sure that this piece of jade is of good quality, and if it's big enough, it can fetch a good price.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and cut!" the onlookers urged.
"This is impossible! What kind of damn luck is this?!" Shang Yanfei said angrily, her face full of disbelief.
Then, he kicked a large rock next to him.
Snap!
Then, he hugged his feet with both hands and hopped on one leg.
But the stone was digging into his toes and causing them to hurt.
At that moment, the way he was jumping up and down was truly comical.
Ouyang Ming looked at him like this, his face full of sorrow.
He was really frustrated, wondering how he could have ended up with such a scoundrel.
In the center of the crowd, the master craftsman was also somewhat excited as he cut the stone.
However, he took a deep breath, tried his best to steady himself, adjusted the angle, determined the best position to make the cut, and then made the cut decisively.
After peeling off the outer layer of the stone, you can clearly see that there is indeed a piece of jade flesh that looks like a pool of clear water.
Glassy type!
What incredible luck!
That's amazing!
