After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.
Chapter 144 Excessive Demands
"Ye Tian, are these stones really valuable?"
"We spent 10,000 yuan, and we can only choose one stone? That's outrageous!"
Wen Mengyun held tightly to Ye Tian's arm; this was the first time she had ever been to a place like this in her entire life.
She had seen gambling before in movies; she had seen poker, mahjong, and dice.
But this was the first time she had ever seen a real jade gambling scene.
At this moment, she felt both nervous and excited, but more than anything, she felt sorry for Ye Tian.
These broken stones are everywhere outside the city, and nobody wants them even if they're free, but here they cost ten thousand dollars to buy just one.
She really couldn't see the difference between a worthless rock worth ten thousand yuan and the worthless rocks that were scattered all over the mountains.
"It's a rip-off, but gambling on stones is all about the thrill."
"Do you believe I can turn 10,000 into 500,000?"
Ye Tian smiled and looked at Wen Mengyun.
"Ye Tian, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it's impossible."
"With these stones, you'd be lucky to break even, let alone make 500,000. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"What if I get lucky and actually find a stone worth 500,000?"
Ye Tian said he could turn 10,000 into 500,000 simply because the best stones at this gambling site were worth 500,000.
This is the upper limit of the jade gambling market, not Ye Tian's upper limit.
"If you can really turn 10,000 into 500,000 today, I can grant you an outrageous request."
A playful expression flashed across Wen Mengyun's face.
"Is it okay to go as far as you want?" Ye Tian said with a wicked smile.
"What do you want to do?" Wen Mengyun crossed her arms and looked wary.
"Yes!" Ye Tian answered decisively.
"You're annoying, if you keep doing this I'm not talking to you anymore."
Wen Mengyun immediately understood, and her face turned bright red.
"I'm not that kind of casual girl."
"Hey, you can only talk about it after you've actually won half a million!"
When a woman doesn't explicitly refuse, anything is possible.
At this moment, Wen Mengyun was incredulous that Ye Tianzhen could pick out the most valuable stone here, the one worth 500,000.
In her opinion, although these stones are all different in appearance, there is absolutely no way that any of them could be worth 500,000 yuan.
Gold only costs a few dollars per gram; these stones can't compare to gold.
"Okay, it's a deal."
Ye Tian silently activated his X-ray vision and scanned all the raw stones in the room.
The nearby stones, with their grayish-white outer surfaces dotted with mottled patterns, are otherwise chaotic inside and have a rough texture.
Ye Tian's X-ray vision could tell at a glance that these were all stones of very poor quality and not worth wasting time on.
Finally, his attention settled on a piece of raw jade that no one else was interested in.
It was a piece of material about the size of a football. The skin was the common yellow salt sand skin, but there was a very obvious crack about ten centimeters long on the surface, which almost ran across most of the stone.
Several fine streaks extended from around the crack, making it look quite ugly.
Most people believe that this large crack severely damages the integrity of the material, making it too risky and the probability of it turning green extremely low.
"This crack is too severe; it goes straight through, and the inside is probably full of fissures. There's not much hope."
"Judging from the direction of these cracks, it's not good. The risk is too high, and it's impossible to get good material from them."
After a dozen or so guests looked at it, they all shook their heads and left.
Ye Tian walked directly to the rock and stopped.
He ran his finger along the mark of the large crack, then shone his flashlight along the edge of the crack. The light diffused, and it was indeed impossible to see anything from the outside.
All that was just for show; now comes the crucial part.
He turned slightly to the side, blocking the view from the side, and focused all his attention on using his X-ray vision to look inside along the terrifying crack.
His gaze pierced through the rough, yellow sand shell, penetrating deep inside.
The crack did indeed resemble a black scar, but it didn't seem as deep as I had imagined.
About one centimeter below the skin, the crack began to shrink and then miraculously disappeared!
Beneath the crack was a rich emerald green!
The green color was bright and even, with ample luster and an incredibly fine texture. Moreover, its size was quite considerable, occupying almost two-thirds of the entire piece of material!
Ye Tian's lips curled into a faint smile.
Fortunately, it was thanks to the large crack that it was able to be preserved intact!
"I've made my choice, this is it!"
At that moment, all the guests in the room turned to look at Ye Tian in surprise.
He was the last of all the guests to enter, but he was the first to choose his stone.
That speed is truly impressive.
But when everyone saw the stone that Ye Tian had chosen, they all burst out laughing.
Most people have seen this stone, but none of them chose it because the cracks on it are too obvious, and no one thinks it's a good choice.
"Brother, if you choose this stone, your ten thousand yuan is destined to go down the drain."
It's the kind of water that doesn't even splash.
"Exactly, this stone is too bad; it's impossible to find good material from it."
If this yields good results, I'll call technician number 88 tonight, for the 13th day of the month (upside-down)!
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
These rough men, who only thought about making a quick buck, used such vulgar language that the few women in the room couldn't help but spit out a curse.
"Then you're destined to explore new handstand positions tonight. I'll choose this one. Let's cut the stone now."
Ye Tian smiled faintly.
Amidst a burst of laughter, Scarface Liu walked over with a gruff smile: "Want to do a live demolition, brother?"
"Solve it." Ye Tian nodded, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Ye Tianxuan's rough stone was placed on the stone-cutting machine.
The stone cutter, expressionless, secured the stone and drew a cutting line, avoiding the center of the large crack.
"Sizzle..." A piercing cutting sound rang out.
Everyone fell silent, their eyes focused on the point where the rapidly spinning saw blade made contact with the stone.
Even the heavily decorated thugs who had been indifferently watching the place straightened up slightly and looked over.
Wen Mengyun was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Ye Fan stood beside the machine, his face calm.
"Click..."
With the first cut, a thin lid was sliced open along the outer edge of the stone shell.
The cut surface was grayish-white, with no green visible.
"I told you this material wasn't good, brother, but you didn't believe me."
Ten thousand yuan is enough to get a foot massage at a foot massage parlor for a month. I'll go to foot massage parlors more often and avoid places like this in the future.
This place isn't really suitable for young people.
The guy who wanted to develop a new handstand posture just now gave me some sincere advice.
"Cut it here again."
Ye Tian was completely unaffected. This time, he directly pointed out the exact location for the stone cutting to the stone-cutting master.
The stone cutter adjusted the direction based on Ye Tianzhi's finger position and made the second cut.
He had seen too many pieces of scrap that turned out to be worthless, so his expression remained unchanged.
This time, the cut is deeper.
The sound of the saw blade scraping against the stone rang out again.
Many people who were already pessimistic about it are now even more pessimistic.
The rough stone with such a deep crack didn't even show a trace of green on the first cut. If it's cut again, it will probably still look the same.
No matter how many cuts you make, it's still waste.
When the saw blade finally cut through the stone shell completely, the stone cutter stopped the machine, dipped a brush in water, and gently brushed away the stone powder on the cut surface.
A warm and clear green appeared before everyone's eyes without warning!
Under strong light, the green color resembled tender buds in early spring, its texture so delicate that impurities were almost invisible.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse of the cross-section, the vibrant green, the abundant moisture, and the delicate texture were enough to say it all!
"My God, it's green!"
"It's still glutinous rice ice, it's glutinous rice ice type!"
"The water is so vibrant, it's a bright green!"
"No way? Such a huge crack actually hides such good meat? Is there no justice in this world?"
Uncontrollable gasps of amazement immediately rose from the crowd.
Those who were initially skeptical are now astonished beyond words.
