Chapter Forty-Five: Glass Species

  "Green! Green! It's green! You're indeed a jade stone expert!"

  "Professor Zhang's reputation is quite famous in our rock gambling circle!"

  "Is this ice jade? Such a large piece must be worth a lot of money!"

  Cheng Tianyong was the first to start carving the stone, and as soon as the first knife cut into the original stone, a bright green color appeared.

  Seeing this green, Cheng Tiankui and Zhang Yang simultaneously revealed a triumphant smile on their faces. Cheng Tiankui even loudly stretched out his thumb towards He Dong, then under everyone's gaze, suddenly turned the direction of his thumb downwards.

  "This son of a bitch is really arrogant, if my legs were good, I would beat him until his mother wouldn't recognize him." Following He Dong's side, Wang Xuewu knew that He Dong was always low-key, so he had been enduring it all along. However, Cheng Tianxuan's arrogance made him almost unable to bear it anymore.

  "Haha, don't worry, don't worry, he'll be crying soon!" He Dong said with a smile.

  He Dong's strong confidence couldn't help but make the people around him relax a lot, but as Cheng Tiankuai and others explained, the atmosphere slowly became tense again, because Zhang Yang had picked out three pieces of jade rough stone, all of which were cut into jade, including one that was an extremely valuable ice jade.

  "It's your turn, He!" Cheng Tianyuan was now in an extremely comfortable mood. The three pieces of jade he had opened were worth at least tens of millions, which made him earn ten times more.

  "Old Three! Let Old Liu help you pick three more blocks!" Wang Qiang made a final effort, Old Liu was their company's designated jade stone expert.

  "Master!" "Dong Ge!" Zhao Xinxin and Wang Xuewu were also anxiously and tensely watching He Dong.

  "Haha, I'm not nervous at all, what are you guys nervous about?" He Dong walked up to the stone master with a piece of raw stone under his arm, amidst everyone's gaze.

  "Hiss!" With the ear-piercing sound of machinery, almost everyone, including Cheng Tianyue, tensed up. Of course, He Dong, who already knew the outcome, was leisurely smoking a cigarette on the side.

  "Alas! It's ruined!" The first piece of rough stone that He Dong took out was not very large, so it only took a few minutes to cut it open. However, both cutting surfaces were dull and grey, which immediately elicited a series of sighs.

  "Haha, great collapse!" Amidst the sighs, there was also a wildly arrogant laugh.

  "Master, continue cutting!" He Dong didn't pay attention to other people's expressions and continued to say calmly.

  The machine sound rang out again, but this time everyone's mood had changed. Wang Xuewu and Wang Qiang furrowed their brows, while Zhao Xinxin clasped her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and seemed to be praying for something. Cheng Tianxuan, on the other hand, looked at He Dong with a smug expression, then glanced at Wang Qiang, or paused for a moment on Zhao Xinxin's body.

  "It's out!" And just as the atmosphere was getting weird, Master Shi suddenly let out a loud shout.

  "What?" Zhang Yang suddenly rushed out and splashed water onto the cleavage of the jade stone, instantly revealing a heart-moving green hue.

  "This... this... is Ice Type, Apple Green!" Someone who knew what they were talking about exclaimed in surprise.

  Cheng Tiankuai's face suddenly changed, from the joyful expression earlier to a gloomy one. The ice-green apple was not big in size, but its price was quite expensive.

  "Great, it's Ice Type Apple Green!" Wang Qiang and others were excitedly clenching their fists and waving them in the air.

  "Is Ice Species Apple Green expensive?" Among these people, except for He Dong, Zhao Xinxin was probably the only outsider. Although he knew that the situation had taken a drastic turn, he still asked curiously.

  "Of course, it's valuable. Among the jade, the best is the glass type, and under the glass type is the ice type. Like this ice-type apple green, a small ring face is worth tens of millions." Wang Qiang introduced simply.

  "Really! Too good! Master, you're awesome!" Zhao Xinxin immediately followed with excited cheers.

  "Master, keep cutting!" Hearing the cheers of the crowd, He Dong remained calm and composed as he spoke to Shi Tou Master.

  Soon, a top-grade emerald green jade about the size of an egg was dug out. Because this piece of jade was too beautiful, as soon as it came out, Zhao Xinxin took it by force with the excuse that ladies had priority, and then fondled it lovingly.

  "Don't be smug, although the value of that green ice jade is high, due to its size, your piece of jade is worth at most over 60 million, whereas my three pieces of jade are worth 100 million." He Dong and others' joyful expressions made Cheng Tianyue extremely jealous, his face darkening as he spoke.

  "Don't forget, we still have two unopened raw stones!" Wang Qiang said with a cold smile.

  "You think jade is a big deal, being able to get one piece of jade is already a stroke of luck for you! As for the remaining two pieces, I don't think you can get them no matter what." Cheng Tianxue said disdainfully.

  "Boss, don't bother arguing with him unnecessarily, let the facts speak for themselves. Master, help me solve this one too!" He Dong said, handing over another piece of jade rough stone.

  He Dong's original stone this time was the one he had been eyeing from the start, and because he had held onto it during his dispute with Cheng Tianhui, many people remembered this particular stone. As soon as He Dong began to unlock it, everyone's attention turned back to it, even Cheng Tianhui remained silent, his tense expression fixed on the unlocking process.

  "Green! Green! Green!" Zhao Xinxin stared intently at the scene of the jade being solved, her mouth still murmuring a single word over and over again.

  "Green! Green! Green!" Zhao Xinxin's approach gradually infected Wang Xuewu, and Wang Xuewu also involuntarily followed suit.

  "Green! Green! Green!" Then Wang Qiang, Dāozi and Hóuzi also gradually followed suit.

  Moreover, the murmuring sound grew louder and more people joined in. By the end, even the voices shouting "green" drowned out the sound of the cutting machine. However, as the shouts grew louder, Cheng Tiankuai's face turned increasingly ugly.

  The cutter finally came to a stop, and all the shouting ceased at that instant. The entire jade shop suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of the master craftsman handling the raw stone being heard.

  As the clear water washed away, under everyone's tense gaze, Master Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't suppress his own excitement, suddenly shouting loudly "Green! It's green! Glass species, Emperor Green!"

  "Ah!" With this sound, the entire jade shop suddenly erupted in a burst of cheers that could blow off the roof, and everyone unconsciously rushed towards the just-opened emerald together.

  At this time, no one noticed that Zhang Yang's eyes were dull and his face was pale, standing there stupidly, while Cheng Tiankuang's face was ferocious, with blood-red eyes staring at He Dong and others.
