Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 326 - 356 Glass Type

Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Six

When Long Xiaoshan took out the third piece of raw stone,

the onlookers around him became more numerous, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heated.

After all, Long Xiaoshan’s recent streak of winning on two stones had been impressive, and regardless of his eye for stone, his luck alone seemed defiant of the heavens.

Feng Shaokang took hard puffs on his tobacco pipe, and although a smile remained on his face, one could see it was somewhat forced. Even though the total value of the two stones that Long Xiaoshan had won was barely a million, compared to the eight million he had earned, it was trivial.

But he was still feeling an inexplicable uneasiness.

Especially with Long Xiaoshan’s method of having the Stone-Cutting Master cut with one stroke, one or two times it could be passed off as a fluke. But any more would be slightly eerie.

"Master, cut it," Long Xiaoshan said, after handing the raw stone to the Stone-Cutting Master, still drawing a line on it as one would endeavor to replicate.

"Kid, if you win again, I’ll be convinced," the Stone-Cutting Master joked, as he followed the line and made the cut.

The first cut did not reveal any jade,

eliciting a sympathetic gasp from everyone. They had hoped Long Xiaoshan could continue his legendary streak. If he managed to increase the value of three stones in a row, it would be a miracle, but legends are, after all, only in novels. Things like that aren’t easy to come by in reality, and as expected, this stone did not increase in value.

Feng Shaokang’s tightened grip relaxed as he let out a breath of relief and laughed at himself for being too nervous. How could he be so serious about this rookie? It was just that the kid had been incredibly lucky at first, winning on two stones and making him suspicious.

Song Yi taunted, "See? Gambling on stones isn’t that easy. You spent over a hundred thousand on this rock, and with a single cut, it’s all gone. You really think you’re the God of Gamblers?"

The Stone-Cutting Master looked at the half-cut stone, feeling regretful, and asked, "Shall I continue cutting?"

He knew it was almost impossible for the stone to bring out jade, and theoretically, it was already a lost cause, but as per custom, he still asked Long Xiaoshan.

"Why not keep going, but wait a moment," Long Xiaoshan turned and said with a grin, "Sister Song, don’t be so sure. It’s not over yet. How do you know I’ve lost that hundred thousand?"

"Pff, you’re still in denial. I might not be an expert, but when a stone gets cut like this and doesn’t turn green, it’s guaranteed to be a dud. You should just admit it," she retorted.

"Then let’s make a bet. What if it does turn green?" Long Xiaoshan challenged.

"You want to bet with me? Alright, I’ll play along, just to satisfy you. What’s the wager?" energized by Long Xiaoshan’s attitude, Song Yi fired back.

"Money is boring. How about this, if I win, you give me a kiss," proposed Long Xiaoshan.

The spectators erupted into a chorus of whistles and cheering.

Song Yi’s face flushed red instantly. She hadn’t anticipated Long Xiaoshan would be so bold as to flirt with her publicly. After all, she was a well-known figure on this street, nearly universally recognized.

The very thought of kissing a youngster in public made her feel utterly embarrassed.

"What’s the matter, afraid?" Long Xiaoshan goaded.

Song Yi initially didn’t want to agree, but her temper was fiery, and goaded by Long Xiaoshan’s challenge, she loudly declared, "I’m not afraid of you at all. But you better not claim you’ve won with some low-grade jadeite."

"Of course not. Am I the type to take advantage of someone? If it’s not better than the Ice-like Level, I’ll consider it a loss, and I’ll even give you this piece of Ice-like Level jade," Long Xiaoshan revealed the piece he had previously won.

"Fine, since you’re so eager to give me money, I’m happy to oblige," Song Yi said, doubting that the failed stone could yield any jade, let alone Ice-like Level.

The crowd began to cheer loudly for Long Xiaoshan.

Although they were not optimistic about Long Xiaoshan, the bet was thrilling, and the idea of seeing the usually aloof and beautiful CEO, Song Yi, publicly kiss a young man was stimulating.

Long Xiaoshan, holding the half piece of raw stone, marked it with a pen and said, "Master, cut from here."

The Stone-Cutting Master acknowledged and, without hesitation, began cutting from that spot.

A thin slice was carved off.

Suddenly, a shimmering, translucent patch appeared, reflecting brilliant colors under the light.

Everyone’s breath paused for a moment.

Then, a middle-aged man cried out fervently, "Glass type, it’s the glass type!"

The glass type is the most top-notch variety of jade.

It is second only to Emerald Green, Imperial Blood Jade, and other rare categories.

The Stone-Cutting Master’s hands also began to tremble as he turned the jade over, looking at the patch that was as clear as glass and quivered, "It really is the glass type."

In his many years of stone cutting, the number of times he had uncovered the glass type was also countable on one hand.

Feng Shaokang squeezed through the crowd, his eyes fixed on the piece of jade in the master’s hands, muttering, "Impossible, impossible."

Song Yi was also taken aback.

She had thought she could dampen Long Xiaoshan’s arrogance, but in the blink of an eye, Long Xiaoshan had carved out a piece of glass type jade, slapping her face with a loud pop. Worse still, she had foolishly bet with Long Xiaoshan, setting an overwhelmingly regrettable stake.

"Glass type, this guy is defying the heavens, first a Water Level, then an Ice-like Level, and now a glass type, is he a god of stone gambling?" The onlookers stared feverishly at Long Xiaoshan and the raw stone that revealed the glass type.

A boss-like figure shouted, "Young brother, I offer five million to buy your raw stone, don’t get too excited just because it’s increased in value, it’s only as big as a fingernail, if it’s not fully formed inside, you could still lose, better to sell it to me, I’ll take the risk, five million for a sure profit."

Feng Shaokang snapped back to reality, "I offer eight million, the raw stone was purchased from my place, give me some luck, brother."

Song Yi said, "Dream on, you guys, thinking of getting a glass type for a few million, Xiaoshan, sell the jade to me, I’ll give you ten million."

"I’ll bid twelve million," Boss Zhao, who had started, called out again.

Long Xiaoshan smiled, "Sorry, I’m keeping the jade for fun, not selling, Master, continue cutting."

Under the careful cutting of the Stone-Cutting Master, more and more jade was revealed.

"It’s skyrocketed, it’s skyrocketed, such a huge piece of glass type."

The onlookers’ eyeballs almost popped out of their heads.

A piece of glass type jade, as large as a bowl, was carved out.

Boss Zhao rushed forward excitedly and shouted, "I offer one hundred million for that glass type, I’ll take it."

"Sir, sorry, but I’ve already said the jade is not for sale," Long Xiaoshan casually inspected the piece of glass-type jade and tossed it into his backpack.

Long Xiaoshan’s actions left onlookers speechless; a hundred million, and this young man casually tossed it aside, while Feng Shaokang was already livid, ridiculing himself for thinking earlier that he had made eight million from Long Xiaoshan.

Although no matter what Long Xiaoshan carved, it didn’t relate to him; he had made a profit from selling the raw stone, just like a lottery ticket seller shouldn’t envy a person who bought a winning ticket from them.

Yet, the person who won the jackpot was Long Xiaoshan, which made it increasingly infuriating the more he thought about it.
