Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Bet Successful! Generous Rewards!
"Song Dong, please, show mercy!"
"I've rarely seen such a stone in my life, and with your cut..."
Before the three master craftsmen could even try to persuade him, Song Yunkai started the machine and pressed the handle down hard against the middle of the stone.
"Screech, screech, screech!"
The sound of gears grinding against stone was ear-piercing, but the people present didn't find it noisy; on the contrary, they all reacted differently upon hearing this sound!
Trepidation and tension filled their hearts, as no one knew what the final outcome would be.
The stone was quickly split open, but at that moment, no one dared to move forward to splash water on it for inspection.
Song Yun didn't care about that, recklessly grabbing a basin of water and pouring it over.
What a waste of resources!
If this young guy in front of them had been their junior, the three masters would have whipped out their belts and started beating him long ago!
What the hell, don't you know that stone cutting is a very complicated process?
And this stone cost 60 million! If the cut was not good, wouldn't that mean a huge loss!!!
Oh right, this kid is the richest man in Magic Capital, then it's fine, sorry to bother!!!
"Masters, come and have a look."
A few people gathered around the stone, cautiously prying open one edge of it.
As the angle of the split stone grew wider, a restrained green light gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
"!!!"
One of the craftsmen suddenly closed the stone and took a bottle of Fast-acting Heart-saving Pills out of his pocket, shakingly pouring several pills under his tongue.
"What did I just see?"
The other two craftsmen stood there, completely stunned. They had not anticipated Song Yun's incredible luck; if the cut had been off by just one millimeter, the value of the stone would have plummeted!
Could this be the so-called good fortune that blesses the wealthy?
As terrifying as it is!
"Masters, did the value increase or did we lose money?"
Song Yun was frowning, his tone somewhat urgent, but Ye Qingqing's father was completely unperturbed by everything happening before him, since the glimmer of green he saw just now had assured him that even if there was a loss, it wouldn't be much.
"Song... Song Dong!!! It's a huge surge!!!"
The master who had Fast-acting Heart-saving Pills in his mouth quickly ran out, took out a string of firecrackers from the car, lit them, and shouted, "A huge surge! Imperial Green!"
It is common to keep firecrackers at jade cutting sites, partly to announce to everyone that there is a fine quality jade available for purchase after a price surge, and partly to bring good luck.
Even if Song Yun, this jade novice, didn't understand anything else, the words 'Imperial Green' were deeply etched in his mind—wasn't that the highest quality level of jade???
Ye Qingqing's father couldn't stand still anymore; he originally thought it was just a regular green, but had underestimated the stone!
He stepped forward, pushing the masters aside and slowly opened the stone, which under the sunlight, emitted a green glow from within, revealing its status as Imperial Green.
That's all money!
Several grown men were captivated by the Imperial Green.
"Song Dong, look, if we cut from this side a few more times, we should be able to get all of the stone out. In my many years of experience, this piece of Imperial Green is about the size of two fists!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yun's heart suddenly clenched—shit, that small???
No matter how valuable it was, it couldn't be that great if it wasn't big!
Seeing Song Yun's disappointed expression, Ye father patted his shoulder and comforted him, "You've already done very well. This piece of imperial green jade, if put up for auction, would sell for at least a few hundred million. And it's still priceless."
"???"
Song Yun was full of question marks. This little thing, it's worth so much???
"Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful bet. Reward: Perspective Eyes!"
"Note: The perspective function can only be used 3 times a day, each time for 10 minutes. Treasure it!"
As soon as the system's voice faded, Song Yun felt a sore swelling in his eyes, as if they were enveloped by two masses of gas.
When he closed and then reopened his eyes, Song Yun realized his vision had improved vastly from before. Looking around, whether it was the flowers and grass or the azure sky, everything looked incredibly clear.
"Director Song, do you plan to keep this piece of imperial green jade for yourself, or are you thinking of selling it? If you're selling, name your price. This old guy won't haggle!"
An old master looked at Song Yun, his eyes filled with hope.
"I'm sorry, but since this imperial green is so precious, I plan to make a few bracelets and thumb rings eventually."
Song Yun was now in a very good mood. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, so doesn't the evolution of his eyes mean that his soul has also ascended?
"Then you might want to consider our Li Jade Pavilion! In the entire Magic Capital, and even the whole South, our Li Jade Pavilion ranks second to none when it comes to jade crafting skills!"
The old master persisted.
He had lived a good many years, and it was only when he was very young that he saw such a fine piece of jade. As a craftsman, he was itching to work on this piece of imperial green!
"Song Yun, Li Jade Pavilion really does have the skills. You can trust them with it."
Ye father chimed in with a smile, seemingly believing himself to be the child of destiny. Just spending a bit of money on a stone and making a fortune out of it!
Song Yun nodded in agreement, making the other two old masters click their tongues in admiration. There was no helping it—if you were not as skilled, when facing the imperial green jade, all you could do was drool as someone else took it home to enjoy.
The three old masters came with excitement and left with satisfaction.
Song Yun celebrated well with Ye Qingqing at the Ye family's home at noon.
When they learned that the piece of imperial green was going to be made into three bracelets, three thumb rings, and two 'Tai Ping Ru Yi' amulets, both Ye Qingqing and her mother's eyes sparkled.
Jade! This was an object that had been coveted for thousands of years in the land of Hua Country.
There wasn't a woman who could restrain her greed when faced with a jade bracelet.
After a hearty meal, Ye Qingqing had long since cast aside her little schemes.
From her perspective, how handsome her husband was, how charismatic, how much she wanted to plant a kiss on him!
Around two in the afternoon, Song Yun planned to take Ye Qingqing and leave. By this time, he was very curious about the Perspective Eyes—it wouldn't do to carelessly use it at the Ye household and see things he shouldn't.
After leaving the Ye family's home, Song Yun drove with Ye Qingqing to the City God Temple in the Magic Capital.
"Honey, why are we here?"
Ye Qingqing asked curiously, hugging Song Yun's arm after getting out of the car.
Song Yun just smiled and didn't say anything.
The City God Temple of the Magic Capital is the largest antique market in the Magic Capital, similar to the Panjiayuan in Forty-nine City, where people can start peddling goods with just a piece of cloth spread on the ground.
Song Yun had no interest in these so-called antiques where ninety out of a hundred items were fakes.
His main purpose today was stone gambling!
The two arrived at a stone stall, where there were already a few people casually glancing over the items before shaking their heads and walking away.
Only an old man with a long beard was meticulously examining a small stone with a magnifying glass.
