40: Chapter 40 Gambling on Stones (1) 40: Chapter 40 Gambling on Stones (1) Zhang Yusheng selected a piece of rough stone the size of a football.

This stone was gray and white, pockmarked and uneven, with no moss or pine flower on its surface, showing no characteristic signs of having jade inside.

The people around all laughed when they saw this stone.

Those with a bit of knowledge knew that the most promising rough stones were those with a skin black like lacquer, with white chalky bands that were prominent, with pine flowers on the chalk, scabs on the skin, mist beneath the skin, and a clear, dry color.

The gray and white stone in Zhang Yusheng’s hand didn’t seem promising at all.

Zhang Yusheng ignored the laughter of the crowd, focusing intently on the stone before carefully drawing several lines on its surface.

An Yiqing nodded, showing that, for someone who couldn’t see through it as an ordinary person, Zhang Yusheng’s actions were sufficient to demonstrate his capabilities.

Zhang Yusheng picked up the stone-cutting machine and carefully cut along the lines he had drawn.

One cut down and all that was revealed was stark white stone!

“Tsk!

You think this piece of crappy stone could produce green?

Is he sick in the head?” someone in the crowd said mockingly, as if happy to stir up trouble.

“Go away!

It’s his money, he can spend it how he wants, what’s it to you?”
Zhang Yusheng looked worriedly at An Yiqing, considering that, although the piece of rough wasn’t expensive, it wasn’t cheap either.

He was a bit worried that the young girl wouldn’t be able to handle the disappointment.

However, he saw that the girl in front of him had maintained a sweet smile from the beginning to the end, not showing a hint of panic even when the stone revealed only whiteness, as if everything was under her control.

“Continue cutting.

Do it the way you think is best.” Noticing Zhang Yusheng’s concern, An Yiqing felt a warmth in her heart.

Zhang Yusheng, looking at An Yiqing’s gentle and indifferent smile, felt his worries slowly disappear.

It was as if this girl possessed a kind of soothing magic; in her presence, it seemed like endless possibilities existed.

Zhang Yusheng steadied himself, ignoring the mocking words around him and calmly continued with the stone cutting.

He chose his spot and made a clean and decisive cut.

Then he was stunned, muttering incredulously, “Green!

It really showed green!”
The newly cut window revealed a hint of green, leaving everyone in disbelief.

Could this worthless stone really produce jade?!

Zhang Yusheng switched from cutting to grinding, little by little extracting the jade from within the rough.

When he rinsed the extracted rough with a splash of water, the true appearance of the jade was unveiled before the crowd.

The jade was a yellow-green color with a delicate texture, crystal clear, and free from any impurities.

“It’s Old Pit High Ice Species Huangyang Green!

It’s actually Old Pit High Ice Species Huangyang Green!”
“Good heavens!

This is truly full of vigor!

Has Boss Zhang just walked into some incredible luck!”
“What Boss Zhang?

That jade belongs to the little girl standing next to him.”
“What?”…

The crowd of onlookers instantly erupted into chaos.

The revelation that a piece of worthless stone had produced Old Pit High Ice Species Huangyang Green stunned everyone.

Word of mouth spread the news swiftly, and as the tale grew more impressive, more and more people came to observe.

As the person directly involved, Zhang Yusheng found it unbelievable.

Though not a jade gambling expert, he had amassed quite a few valuable experiences over the years.

He had encountered turning trash into treasure before, but he had never encountered such a high-quality jade coming from such a useless stone.

Zhang Yusheng stared dumbfounded at An Yiqing, whose delicate face still wore a gentle smile, lacking the surprise and excitement that ordinary people would show, as if all this were within her expectations.

Zhang Yusheng felt An Yiqing was increasingly mysterious.

To face such precious jade with composure, this girl was certainly no ordinary person.
