How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 159: Flipping the Stall
Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Flipping the Stall
The faces of everyone in the venue suddenly changed.
All changing in unison...
The one who changed the most was the boss and the surrounding stall owners who had backed him up in the beginning.
Relying on the fact that they were locals, they put on a display of force trying to overpower the two.
At that moment, the two complied.
But now, with a stretch of his hand, Lin Xiaosu made a dagger appear out of thin air and, with a wave of his hand, the hard raw jadeite split into two, the break clean and even, as if it was sawed with an electric saw.
He is a Genetic Master!
Even if not a Genetic Master, he must be an Ancient Martial unparalleled master!
Who could overpower someone like him with force?
These stall owners actually threatened such an unmatched master with not being able to exhibit in Taichong, it’s a truly rare oddity; even more astonishing is that he actually chose to pay up!
What does he mean by revealing his sharp edge now?
For a moment, a cold wind seemed to blow in the hearts of those few people...
With a light flip of his hand, Lin Xiaosu made the dagger disappear, and the two pieces of stone separated.
The old man’s facial expression changed...
Under the sunlight, one could clearly see, the jade was of ice clear quality, very good!
"Really ice clear!" someone exclaimed.
"Such material is worth at least six figures!"
This was judged based on value.
"There really is a ’human shaped crack’ on it!"
"The stone wasn’t even opened yet, and he already said there was a human shaped crack inside, how did he see that?"
"Oh my god, X-ray vision?"
For a moment, the entire hundred-meter street was astir.
It’s a common saying in the Gambling Stone Market that even immortals can’t predict an inch of jade, yet today, a young man has accurately determined the quality of jade inside a stone even before it was cut, even pointing out the human shaped crack.
This is a God of gambling stones.
Who wouldn’t want to witness such a God?
Before long, the street was packed, three layers inside and three outside, so crowded no water could seep through.
Lin Xiaosu held the stone high: "I’ve already said, this stone is just to break even, I spent fifty thousand today on buying stones, was ripped off by this boss for thirty thousand, a total of eighty thousand, I’ll sell this stone at cost for eighty thousand dollars, who wants it?"
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat...
Selling on the spot?
This was also a first in the history of gambling on stones.
Normally, people would take the stones to a cutting workshop to gamble, but he was gambling on the spot, selling on the spot...
For a stone that had already been opened, the quality inside was visible at a glance, and its value was almost clear; for a stone like this, definitely more than ten thousand dollars.
Eighty thousand dollars, snatching it plain and simple!
"I want it!" a loud shout came from the crowd.
"I’ll pay ninety thousand! Give it to me!" someone else yelled out.
"I’ll pay a hundred thousand! No fun going over a hundred thousand, just give it to me!" the old man said.
Lin Xiaosu opened the payment QR code on his phone, handed it to the old man: "Old man, I said eighty thousand, so eight thousand it is, no need for a hundred thousand, scan the code!"
There was a moment of silence among the crowd.
The old man’s sidekick stepped forward, scanned the code, paid eighty thousand, and took the two pieces of stone from Lin Xiaosu’s hands.
The transaction was completed!
Lin Xiaosu flashed his phone in front of Yixiang: "Look, I’ve already made my money back, stop pouting..."
Yixiang’s lips were no longer pouted, her eyes blooming with joyous little flowers, and her cheeks were flushed with radiant clouds...
The incident today started off accidentally.
Any person encountering such a situation would begrudgingly accept their bad luck, wallowing in melancholy for quite a while, but he, in just a moment, dispersed the gloom from the sky, revealing a bright and clear weather – this is the brother she fancied.
A brother who stands out from the rest.
"Little brother, you have two more stones, are you going to open them?" the old man smiled.
"This stone, the quality is just barely reaching the ice level, not particularly good, but it is a color-material stone, yellow with green, quite rare!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Old sir, do you want to buy it?"
The crowd went deadly silent once again.
His words were nothing strange in the Jade Industry, they were even professional jargon.
But please, do not overlook that at this moment, this stone is still uncut.
Predicting the quality and color of the stone before it was cut...
If he is right again, then his X-ray vision is definitely certain, his status as a Gambling God is assured.
To witness a God-level character right before your eyes?
Everyone held their breath...
The old man’s eyes twinkled: "Little brother, why not open it and see, if it is as you say, I will definitely buy it!"
Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily: "Good, this is a profitable road trip."
His dagger appeared again from nowhere, with a light swing, the stone split in half, revealing yellow and green mingling, barely achieving ice clear quality.
The whole venue erupted in uproar.
"Gambling God!"
"This is the true divine sight!"
"My heavens, what am I witnessing..."
The old man gently raised his hand, silencing the shouting around him: "Little brother, two hundred thousand, will you sell it?"
"You kindly gave me a heads-up before, it’s my honor to respect that, one hundred thousand dollars, sold to you!"
Another hundred thousand!
Another unbelievable self-imposed price cut sale.
The surrounding people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Some connoisseurs began to feel an unusual sensation in their hearts.
They saw a certain mystery through this uncommon event.
This old man was very strange.
This young man is even more puzzling.
The price offered by the elder is actually higher than the market price.
To an expert, this stone is worth probably only about twelve or thirteen thousand dollars, but he directly quoted twenty thousand.
However, Lin Xiaosu, breaking the convention of the marketplace, rejected the high offer and reverted to the more rational market price of ten thousand dollars.
Why is that?
With a wave of his hand, the elder had that young man reappear and scan the code again, representing the travel expense of ten thousand dollars that Lin Xiaosu received.
The third stone, the last one.
Lin Xiaosu lifted the stone: "I’m not selling this stone because high quality ice clear jade with Spring colors is an ideal material for bracelets. I plan to hire someone to do a bit of work and make a few bracelets!"
The elder smiled, "Little brother, let me have another look for old time’s sake, and I’ll do the processing for free, how’s that?"
Lin Xiaosu said, "Elder, are you in the Jade processing industry?"
The elder replied with a smile, "I run a company called Xueyu Pavilion, and my surname is Zhou!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
The people around were all stunned.
Staring at this seemingly ordinary elder, eyes wide in disbelief.
Xueyu Pavilion, that’s the largest jewelry company in Chuannan Province, a Zhou Family enterprise. The current head of the family, Zhou Xiaoyu, is said to be recuperating in Taichong. Many jade stone merchants have visited him, but the elder declined to meet anyone.
Today, he was unexpectedly wandering in the stone market, a place that’s not especially high-end.
Lin Xiaosu, seemingly unaware of the name that moved the border town, just smiled lightly, and the dagger in his hand made the third cut...
With a light swish, the stone split in two.
A beautiful piece of Jade gleamed under the sunlight, revealing its stunning features, both pieces like two pools of emerald water.
The base color with Spring colors had not a single crack.
The ice level species of Jade, most suitable for bracelets.
After a moment of silence from the crowd, a thunderous wave of astonishment erupted.
The stall owner standing behind Lin Xiaosu was trembling all over.
High quality ice clear jade with Spring colors was no longer worth merely ten thousand dollars, it was easily worth a million.
Such stones were sold from his stall.
Three stones altogether cost five thousand dollars, and he thought he had made a great deal, but this man, cutting the stones in real time, revealing their value on the spot, the total worth reached over a million!
In the end, who earned more?
Sure, he made a good profit by today’s regular business standards, but this young man earned even more.
That’s how it is, you are happy with your own earnings.
But when you see someone else make more from you, your satisfaction greatly diminishes.
As a businessman, however, one needs to see beyond that...
For instance, influence.
This young man bought three raw stones from his stall and their value skyrocketed in an instant – imagine how many others this will attract to his stall!
He must seize this enormous influx of visitors.
Thinking of this, Boss Zeng still got excited.
Lin Xiaosu spoke up, "Just now, Boss Zhou gave me a kind suggestion, and I’d also like to offer a kind suggestion to all tourists here. Please don’t let these three stones I got stir you up. Among the hundreds of stones at Boss Zeng’s stall, only these three were of any value, and I’ve already snatched them all. The rest of the stones are all waste material. If you follow this trend, be prepared to lose even your underwear!"
Boss Zeng’s eyes bulged with shock, and those dreams of a sky-high flow of customers that had just started forming in his head seemed to be crushed by those words.
Lin Xiaosu extended his hand, reaching out towards Little Hu who was in Yixiang’s arms, "Little Hu, you caused trouble today, and I helped you settle it. A little hug isn’t too much to ask for, right?"
Little Hu tilted his head to look at him for a while before extending his paw.
"Haha, you’re only this well-behaved when you make trouble!" Lin Xiaosu hugged Little Hu and casually picked up a raw stone while Yixiang picked up another, and the two left the stone market.
Boss Zhou was waiting for him at the entrance of the market.
Boss Zhou had promised to let him indulge his eyes once more and to process his stones for free.
They took Boss Zhou’s car to Xueyu Pavilion.
Inside the stone market, the fervor of conversation surged wave after wave...
Today was truly an encounter with the Gambling God of stones, nailing three stones in a row without a single error, almost as if seeing them inside and out with his own eyes, amassing a fortune worth millions in the blink of an eye.
Such legends will be refreshed and embellished in the stone market, stimulating every entrant’s cerebral cortex and the speed of their blood flow.
This was the enormous influx of attention at the stone market.
However, Boss Zeng felt darkness looming before his eyes...
Because this enormous influx would benefit all stall owners, all except for him!
Because Lin Xiaosu’s last words were too poisonous.
He publicly told everyone that out of the hundreds of raw stones at Boss Zeng’s stall, only three had value, and he had picked them all. The rest were all waste.
Are his words believable?
If an average person said it, no.
Who knows if there is anything valuable inside a stone?
But if he said it, would you believe it?
No one could disbelieve it!
Because he had a grudge with the stall owner, and if there were good items in the owner’s stones, he would have unmercifully cleared them out.
Also, because he is the Gambling God, with just one look, he could tell the good from the bad at a glance.
As long as you believe he could discern the quality of jade, you must believe: the remaining hundreds of stones are indeed all waste!
Gambling on stones is all about hope.
If even the Gambling God has condemned these hundreds of stones, who would be so foolhardy to rush towards sure defeat?
This was Lin Xiaosu’s retribution against him.
Decisive and unconventional...
He seems obedient, compliant, accepting being fleeced by the boss while still looking out for the boss’s business.
In fact, his plans were interconnected, and ultimately he reaped a million fortune from the boss and in return smashed the stall to pieces.
From today onwards, Zeng Datou, would find it impossible to survive here.
Because his stones were all deemed worthless by the invisible judgment of the Gambling God.
If it were an average person, Zeng Datou would have ways to handle it, he’s not a saint, but dare he do so with Lin Xiaosu?
Besides being the Gambling God, he was also a supreme expert.
For someone like him, killing Zeng Datou would probably be as easy as killing a fly.
