Power and wealth bring fragrance

It's turned green!

As soon as those three words were uttered, Liu Gang and Wang Zhao laughed in unison.

"Young Master Wang, your stuff is definitely the best!"

"Haha, you flatter me, you flatter me!"

Liu Gang and Wang Zhao shamelessly started praising each other, taking it for granted that their raw stones had yielded green jade.

Amidst their banter, the two of them turned their attention to their rough stones.

Under the scouring of the water, the cut surface was covered with a grayish, cotton-like substance and countless fine cracks resembling a spider web.

Liu Gang and Wang Zhao were stunned, even doubting that they were hallucinating, and quickly rubbed their eyes.

But upon closer inspection, it was still the same, leaving me even more confused.

Isn't it green now?

But there's no green at all. Where is the green?

Just then, an extremely high-pitched explosion pierced the sky, shattering the deathly silence.

"My God, this waste material actually turned green!"

This sentence was like pouring a ladle of water into a pot of oil, and the scene instantly exploded!

The crowd stared wide-eyed and jostled forward, exclaiming in disbelief. The gasps of surprise were so loud they almost lifted the roof off.

"Holy crap, it's a high-quality, icy green! It's almost as good as imperial green jadeite!"

"How the hell is this possible? I've examined this piece of scrap metal; there's absolutely no way it could yield any green!"

On the cutting machine, the freshly cut side of Wei Yuan's raw stone was lush with green, revealing a large piece of jadeite that looked like a jade plate.

The entire piece of jade is free of any cracks or impurities. Its base is as clear and transparent as ice water, without a single cotton-like inclusion or impurity.

The rich, bright green color evenly covers the entire jade, with a vibrant yet not glaring luster and exceptional translucency.

When light shines on it, the green light penetrates directly through the entire piece of jade, giving it a moist and lustrous feel.

Everyone present was an expert; no one could mistake the quality of this jadeite.

Pure, genuine, and unmistakably high-quality, icy green jadeite!

Moreover, it's a large, intact piece of material with a uniform color and no cracks!

In an instant, everyone went almost insane.

"My God, this green space is so huge, how much is it worth?!"

"Putting everything else aside, even if it only penetrates one centimeter, such a large area would be worth at least tens of millions!"

"Holy crap, this piece of junk only cost them a hundred dollars, and this guy's price increased a hundred thousand times after just one cut!"

Someone reacted very quickly and immediately calculated the total price of the jade.

The entire piece of jade is about fifty centimeters in diameter and has an irregular shape.

If the jadeite could penetrate one centimeter into the interior, such a large area could yield at least ten bracelets.

A high-quality, icy green jadeite bangle has a market price of at least one million, which is at least ten million!

If the remaining material is made into top-grade cabochons, safety buckles, peace pendants, or other collectible pendants, any one of them would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan.

The total value of the entire jadeite piece is no less than 20 million!

One hundred dollars can be exchanged for twenty million!

This isn't just a case of a single cut increasing the price by 100,000 times; this is a case of a cut increasing the price by 200,000 times!

This is only one centimeter of jadeite penetrating downwards; if it could continue to penetrate...

For every additional centimeter of depth, the value of the jadeite material doubles, making it truly priceless and immeasurable!

Even the craftsman who was cutting the materials never expected such an amazing result; his excited voice was trembling.

"I've been cutting rough jade for thirty years, and I've never cut such a perfect piece of jade!"

"A huge surge! A massive surge!"

The cutting master was almost going crazy with excitement.

This is not just about him cutting out a piece of top-quality jade; it's equivalent to him having a prestigious reputation from now on!

Since the jade gambling business involves gambling, it is naturally very much like playing cards, relying heavily on luck.

Some people who gamble on rough stones don't cut them themselves; instead, they specifically seek out stone cutters who have previously cut out top-quality jadeite, firmly believing that their good luck will allow them to cut out good jadeite.

Therefore, every craftsman who cuts jadeite dreams of personally cutting out a top-quality piece, not only to make a name for himself but also to make a fortune.

This craftsman cut a piece of jade with a high-grade icy green color today. After today, if anyone asks him to cut jade, don't even think about getting him to do it for less than tens of thousands of yuan!

Upon realizing this, the cutting master was so excited that he almost wanted to kowtow to Wei Yuan.

As the person who personally cut the jade, he naturally made discoveries that others did not.

The cutting master pointed to the scrap material that had fallen to the ground after being cut off and exclaimed in amazement.

"The key to making this cut so effective is the extremely precise placement of the cut."

"The lines drawn by this gentleman were almost flush with the edge of the jade. He cut along the lines without damaging the jade at all, and cut it out perfectly."

"Without such precision, this cut would most likely have been ruined!"

"This line is a stroke of genius!"

As soon as the cutting master spoke, the eyes of the onlookers burned with an intensity comparable to magma, almost melting Wei Yuan.

"Is this guy really getting a third eye?"

"He's cheating! He must be cheating!"

"Who the hell was mocking someone just now? Come out here and kowtow to apologize!"

"Not only did he hit the jackpot, but his prediction was so accurate; even a god couldn't be more skilled!"

Amidst countless gasps of amazement, many of those who had just mocked Wei Yuan now had faces as red as monkey bottoms, stinging from the slap of reality, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

They laughed at Wei Yuan for being foolish and arrogant, but little did they know that they were the real clowns!

Countless people stared at the deep green jade with a mixture of fervor and regret, their teeth practically grinding with envy!

They'd seen that waste material before, so how come they didn't realize it could actually produce green?

Otherwise, their unparalleled reputation, which had increased two hundred thousand times over, and their enormous wealth of over twenty million would have been theirs!

Wang Zhao's face was ashen, and he stood frozen in place. The hundred yuan he was clutching felt like burning coals in his hand, making his palms ache and causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

He couldn't help but think of his earlier mockery of Wei Yuan for spending a hundred yuan to buy scrap. He had been so arrogant and disdainful before, but now he felt incredibly regretful, and his face stung from the slap!

Who the hell would have thought that scrap material would actually yield top-quality jadeite!

Wang Zhao couldn't help but think that if he hadn't received the hundred yuan, he might have been able to use the excuse that the scrap material belonged to him to forcibly take away the jade!

But now everything is ruined!

It's all because he accepted that damn hundred dollars!

Wang Zhao was devastated, while Liu Gang was ashen-faced, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Lost!

They lost so decisively, without even a chance to argue!

A single cut can increase the price two hundred thousand times; a single stroke precisely draws a dividing line for jade—is this even human?!

Are you kidding me!

He's just a locksmith, why is he so arrogant!

Liu Gang couldn't understand it, and he simply couldn't accept it!

Chu Xinrou opened her beautiful eyes wide, staring blankly at the bright and full jade, her red lips slightly parted, her heart surging violently.

Suddenly, Chu Xinrou felt a surge of heat rise from her lower abdomen and rush to her limbs, making her legs weak and forcing her to clench them tightly to avoid embarrassment.

Damn it...
