“Master, please help me get the jade out and cut it into jade tablets two fingers wide and long.”
When everyone heard that Peter Brown wanted to turn this valuable jade into jade tablets, they couldn’t stay calm.
This was a completely wasteful behavior.
“Mr.
Brown, if it’s turned into a jade tablet, it won’t be worth the money!”
Maisy couldn’t understand what Peter was thinking and couldn’t help but remind him.
Maya was even more insistent, saying, “One hundred million, one hundred million!”
“I know, Master.
Sorry for the trouble.”
Peter was not swayed by others and still insisted on turning the jade into jade tablets.
The jade stone cutting master shook his head with a bitter smile, “Boss, think about it.
If you sell it now, it’s worth one hundred million.
If you cut it into jade tablets, it won’t be worth much anymore.”
“It’s okay, I’m not selling it.
I just want to play with it.”
Play with it?
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Spending one hundred million just to play, this wasteful behavior was really extreme.
The jade stone cutting master was an expert, and it didn’t take long for him to remove the two pieces of jade.
When everyone looked, they were shocked again.
One of the pieces was even larger than they had guessed, almost twice the size.
“Mr.
Brown, please sell it to me for two hundred million.” Maisy saw the big piece of jade and immediately offered an additional one hundred million.
Peter smiled and said, “I’m really not selling it.
I just want it to play with.”
Sigh!
Maya stomped her foot in anger at Peter’s actions.
She thought, ‘If you want to play, just play with something else.
As long as you give the jade to me, I’ll let you play however you want.’
However, even amidst their resentment, Peter insisted on having the jade stone cutting master cut the jade into small tablets.
Peter also collected the useless leftover pieces of jade, which could prolong the life of a formation if buried with formation eyes.
Stuffing the jade tablets into a bag, Peter was extremely satisfied and smiled, “Does anyone want to bet again?”
Maisy gave Peter a glance and said, “Only you are betting here!
If you have the ability, play one more time and I will admire you!”
Feeling extremely angry, she watched as such a good piece of jade was cut into waste by this guy.
Upon hearing Maisy’s words, Peter had an idea.
If he could make some more jade tablets into defensive or offensive protective talismans, they might be useful to him now.
He nodded slightly and said, “Well, let me look again and buy some rough stones.”
This time Peter was much more experienced and didn’t search for large rough stones.
Instead, he squatted on the ground and felt each stone individually.
Soon, there was a pile of stones Peter had chosen behind him.
“Calculate how much it costs.”
After making his selection, Peter looked at Maisy and smiled.
“You’re done choosing?
A total of five million six hundred thousand.”
Someone had already calculated the price.
Peter quickly transferred the money.
“By the way, could you please send these goods to my village?”
“Are you really a farmer?” This time, Maya really couldn’t stay calm, staring Peter straight in the eyes.
“Yeah, I’ve always said I’m a farmer.”
“As long as you have an address, we can help you send it.
Won’t you open them?”
“No need, I’ll just take them back and open them slowly myself.
Just get me a stone dissolution machine when the time comes.”
Maisy gave Peter another look, and her curiosity about this farmer-dressed man grew stronger.
As they were about to leave, Peter picked up a stone from the pile seemingly at random and handed it to Maya, “Miss Maya, thank you for following me all day.
This is for you.”
As she held the stone in her hand and looked at its ugly appearance, Maya reluctantly smiled.
Peter’s generosity – one broken stone for a whole day’s company – truly wasn’t much.
For some reason, Maisy suddenly suggested to Maya, “Maya, why don’t I have someone help you open this stone?”
Maya looked at Peter.
Peter hesitated for a moment before saying, “I already gave it to you, so it’s up to you what you do with it.”
Seeing Peter’s indifferent expression, Maya said, “Alright, let’s open it!”
The jade stone cutting master, an experienced worker, saw that it was a small piece of stone and slowly started to cut around the edges.
Not long after he started cutting, someone with sharp eyes pointed at the stone and exclaimed, “It rose!”
Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, a hint of green appeared inside the stone.
“30,000!
I’ll take it!” A middle-aged man in a suit shouted.
“I’ll do 50,000!”
Two people immediately called out higher prices.
Maya was completely stunned at this moment, never expecting that this seemingly broken stone would actually yield jade inside.
Now, Maya’s perception of Peter’s mysteriousness had greatly increased, and she looked at him with curiosity.
Peter had merely sensed the spiritual energy in the stone and didn’t know how big it was.
He smiled and said, “You decide.”
Maisy suggested, “I think you should scratch a little more.”
“Alright!”
Although Maya was extremely eager to sell the stone right away, she nodded vigorously after hearing Maisy’s advice.
Peter saw Maya’s hands clenched tightly into fists, and her nervous expression was amusing.
“Ah, it’s out again!”
“It’s rising!
It’s rising!”
“One hundred thousand!”
“One hundred and twenty thousand!”
“I’ll do one hundred and fifty thousand!”
Soon, everyone began rapid bidding again.
When the bidding reached one hundred and fifty thousand, Maisy whispered, “That should be enough.”
“Alright, I’m selling it to you!”
At this point, Maya was somewhat excited.
She hadn’t anticipated that tagging along with a rustic farmer like Peter would yield such a significant gain.
As she looked at Peter, she grew more and more attracted to him.
Just then, Maisy looked at the pile of stones Peter had chosen and said, “Mr.
Brown, I’ll double the price if you let me have these stones.” While speaking, she purposefully sent a flirtatious glance Peter’s way.
Seeing her electrifying gaze, Peter shuddered, thinking that this beauty was really good at sending off flirty vibes.
However, Peter remained clear-headed and shook his head, “I’m sorry, I just want to take them back to play with.
I’m not selling!”
“Twenty million!”
“Really not selling!”
“Fifty million!”
“Well, there’s room for discussion.”
Maisy stomped her foot and said, “One hundred million!”
Seeing everyone staring dumbfounded, Peter said, “I want to cut them into jade tablets to play with.”
“One hundred million, and I’ll give you another pile of jade tablets!”
Maisy was determined not to let Peter take these rough stones away.
She had a strong feeling that the value of these stones was definitely not low, and if she let Peter take them, she would definitely regret it.
Hearing that she could also provide a pile of jade tablets, Peter couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“You owe me a favor!”
“Alright!”
Maisy agreed without hesitation.
