Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

As soon as these words were spoken, the jade gambling shop erupted in chaos.

The so-called "pine flower" refers to the green patches and stripes on the skin of jadeite rough stones that resemble dried moss. It is the core mark left on the skin of the original jadeite.

The denser and brighter the pine flower pattern, and the tighter the texture, the higher the probability that it contains jade.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu took the raw stone, glanced at it at first, then examined it intently for a long time before congratulating Lin Feng with a charming smile.

"Congratulations, young man! You've won! There is indeed jade inside this stone!"

She paused, then asked gently, "Young master, do you intend to take it back yourself, or have my shop cut it up for you?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and replied, "I'll trouble Madam Lu to have someone cut it open! I can't exactly carry a whole rough stone home!"

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Madam Lu handed the raw stone to Chen Yu for processing.

Wan Qian, who was standing to the side, was already trembling with excitement. He leaned close to Lin Feng and whispered, "Brother Lin, you've struck it rich! This piece of jadeite rough is worth at least a thousand taels of silver!"

Lin Feng smiled faintly, signaling him to calm down.

Because he wants to continue gambling on stones.

The first bet was a stroke of luck.

Choosing another one is only natural.

Madam Lu pointed to the shelf of raw stones behind her and said with a smile, "Young master, please choose one. Just let me know which one you like."

Lin Feng pointed to the center of the shelf: "That one will do!"

Madam Lu turned around, took down a piece of rough stone with sharp edges, and placed it on the table.

"The usual price, twenty taels of silver."

Lin Feng didn't immediately take out his money. Instead, he confidently said, "I'll pay all at once after I've finished opening these few."

Among the onlookers were many regulars who often came to the jade gambling market to watch the excitement. Seeing his behavior, some kindly offered a word of advice.

"Young man, winning once doesn't guarantee you'll win every time. Know when to quit while you're ahead! If the higher-ups keep gambling relentlessly, that piece of jade might not even be enough to cover your losses!"

Another person chimed in, "That old man, Fu, was just like you back then. He had incredible luck and won jade three times in a row. But he got more and more addicted to gambling and ended up losing everything."

Lin Feng nodded slightly in thanks: "Thank you for the reminder. If this one doesn't work, I'll give up."

The burly fellow picked up his tools again and began to break the stone, soon working up a sweat.

About fifteen minutes later, he suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He lowered his head to wipe the sweat from his brow, his gaze fixed on the slit cut by the wire saw, and called out in a strained voice, "Manager..."

He slowly raised his head, his face filled with astonishment: "There's a python belt inside!"

What?!

Madam Lu could no longer maintain her composure and quickly stepped forward to snatch the raw stone.

By examining it under the lights in the shop, one can indeed see a stripe on the inside of the stone shell that resembles a coiled python, with varying heights and depths.

And this python belt often indicates that a jade vein of a completely different texture is hidden below!

Lady Lu was unsure, so she immediately summoned Chen Yu to check together.

After examining the document carefully, Chen Yu said confidently, "Young man, congratulations, you've won again!"

"Whoosh!"

The store instantly erupted in excitement again, with discussions rising and falling.

"He got it again? How is that possible?"

"Did I hear that right? My first time at the jade gambling den, and I actually won two pieces in a row?"

"Is it a coincidence, or does this young man possess a unique method for appraising stones?"

"Such divine skill exists in the world! It's far too bizarre!"

Wan Qian blushed and excitedly whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "Brother Lin, you're amazing! You picked the perfect one!"

Lin Feng turned around with his hands behind his back, his expression nonchalant: "It was just good luck."

After saying that, he looked at Madam Lu and Chen Yu, whose expressions were complicated, and added, "Madam Lu, Mr. Chen, I would also like to trouble you to polish this piece as well."

"I want to choose another one."

Lady Lu narrowed her eyes slightly, re-examining the young man before her, her eyes swirling with curiosity and scrutiny.

It also contained a subtle hint of provocation.

"Young master's luck is extraordinary."

"However, I don't believe you can win a third time."

Lin Feng laughed heartily, "What Madam Lu said is true. Luck is something that comes and goes. It's not surprising that I didn't succeed the third time."

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the bottom shelf and he selected an inconspicuous rough stone.

Seeing that Lin Feng had made his choice, Wan Qian immediately became interested and turned to the onlookers, shouting, "Gentlemen, my brother is opening a stone, let's not just sit idly by, why don't we take a gamble!"

"If you think my brother can still win, bet on the left! If you think he can't win, bet on the right!"

"I'll set an example first. Bet thirty taels on the left side, place your bet now, place your bet now!"

Most of the onlookers had some spare cash and rushed forward to place bets.

"I refuse to believe he can win a third time! I'm betting twenty taels on the right!"

"I've lived most of my life and never seen anyone win three consecutive rounds of jade gambling. I choose the right side!"

"They only got lucky twice, there's no way they'll do it a third time! Right side!"

The spectators who were placing bets were intently watching the man cutting the stone.

Lu Niangzi and Chen Yu were also staring intently at the raw stones, while Lin Feng, who was selecting stones, looked completely relaxed and content.

The wire saw hummed and tugged back and forth, gripping the hearts of everyone present.

Suddenly, the waiter stopped what he was doing, bent down and peered through the crack, his face filled with disbelief.

After seeing the inside clearly, his hands holding the raw stone trembled uncontrollably, and he cried out in a trembling voice, "Shopkeeper... there's another python belt!"

"Big brother!"

Wan Qian let out a cheer that sounded like a pig being slaughtered, jumping up and down with excitement.

"You're really my brother! Hahaha, I'm rich! I'm rich!"

The other two spectators who had bet on Raymond Lam were also so excited that they danced around, almost to the point of madness.

Chen Yu and Lu Niangzi took the raw stone and examined it repeatedly.

Chen Yu was silent for a moment, then bowed to Lin Feng and said, "Young brother, congratulations! You've won again!"

Everyone present froze instantly, completely dumbfounded.

Madam Lu's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Young master, are you perhaps from a prominent family? Could you be skilled in the esoteric art of stone divination, able to predict the workings of Yin and Yang?"

She had never seen such a person in her life, who could casually point out jade stones.

This has long transcended the realm of luck; it's practically a matter of metaphysics!

Lin Feng's lips curled into a gentle smile: "Madam Lu, you jest. I know nothing of esoteric arts; it was purely luck. Please, then, cut out all three rough stones!"

Madam Lu parted her red lips slightly, her tone carrying a hint of inquiry: "Cutting the stone is fine, young master, do you still want to gamble?"

Lin Feng met her gaze, his fingertips twitched slightly, and finally landed in front of Madam Lu.

Following his finger, Madam Lu's cheeks flushed slightly as she scolded, "Young master, you're too kind. I can't let you choose my pair of 'soft stones'."

Lin Feng laughed loudly: "I was just joking with Madam Lu. These three pieces are enough for my expenses, there's no need to choose anymore."

These words resonated loudly in everyone's ears.

What does "enough to cover expenses, no need to choose again" mean?

The implication is that he can continue as long as he wants to?

Lady Lu's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she suddenly smiled, "Very well, I'll do as you say, young master! Someone, bring me pen and ink, and take down the red cloth from the wall so that you may sign your name!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng asked curiously, "Madam Lu, why is that?"

Pointing to the names faintly visible under the red cloth on the wall, Madam Lu explained, "Those recorded on this wall are all distinguished guests who won on their first attempt at gambling on stones, or who won two prizes in a row."

"To date, no one has ever achieved the triple crown in the imperial examinations. Young man, you are the first."

She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Please leave your name, young man, so that future customers who come to the jade gambling shop can see it, which will also add some fame to our shop."

Lin Feng suddenly realized what was going on and, without refusing, immediately picked up his brush and wrote down the name he had made up on the spot under the red cloth—Feng Lin!
