Qin Qin’s stone had already been taken to the Stone Gambling area, while the man who had just snatched Qin Qin’s stone bellowed, "Impossible?! How could this happen? My stone, my jade!"
Seeing his crazed behavior, everyone took several steps back.
Qin Qin coldly watched the man sitting on the ground, clutching a pile of broken stones and howling in despair.
Suddenly, the man jumped up from the ground and charged at Qin Qin, "You pay me, you pay for my jade!"
"Are you sick? You picked the stone yourself and now you want the young lady to pay you!" An onlooker who couldn’t stand it cursed at the man.
The man, shameless and regardless of everything, yelled at Qin Qin, "It was you, you definitely sabotaged me!"
"Sabotage you? What did I sabotage? I chose a stone and you snatched it from me, I didn’t make a fuss. I chose a second stone and you snatched it too, I still didn’t make a fuss. I moved away from you, and you followed me to snatch my stone again. When no jade was cut, you blame me instead. Do you think I am a god who can see through stones! This is your own doing!" Qin Qin didn’t pay attention to him. The man slumped to the ground, defeated. Qin Qin was right, he had been bewitched to snatch a stone from a little girl, which was ridiculous.
"Where’s that deadbeat of mine!" A plump woman barged in furiously. The man saw her coming and tried to run, but the sharp-eyed woman spotted him and ran in quickly, grabbing the man by the ear, "So there you are, I’m at home minding the children, and you dare to run here for Stone Gambling, what did you promise me!"
"Wife, not , people are watching!" The man pleaded fearfully with his wife, feeling embarrassed by his ear being tightly pinched.
"What does it matter if they are watching, you have no shame, so why should I!" The woman roared as she looked at the stone still in the man’s hand, "Tell me, how much money did you spend today?"
"Three..." The man dared not say.
"Three hundred? Three thousand? Thirty thousand?" The woman’s frown tightened with each guess.
"It’s over three hundred thousand!" Someone unknowingly piped up.
The man’s face turned pale as he grabbed the woman’s hand, "Wife, let me explain, actually..."
The woman glared at the man. Suddenly, she gasped for air and collapsed onto the man, pressing him to the ground. The crowd burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.
Without paying any attention to these people, Qin Qin walked up to the Stone Gambling Machine and asked the master to assist her in cutting the stone. She had chosen five stones, and a handful of people gathered around to watch.
The first stone was cut and turned out to be a blank. Then the second, and then the third and fourth were also devoid of any green, prompting the onlookers to sigh and walk away.
Elder Hou had been standing in front of Qin Qin the whole time. Her expression remained calm, not getting agitated or upset by the lack of jade, as if it didn’t matter to her whether it was cut or not.
The final stone was placed on the Stone Gambling Machine.
The master no longer harbored any hope, and with one cut, a brilliant stroke of green emerged in front of Qin Qin and Elder Hou.
The usually composed Elder Hou cried out, "It’s green!"
Everyone who had left crowded back around, and Elder Mu also came over from the side. When he saw that Qin Qin’s last stone had produced green, he was shocked, lifting his head in disbelief at her luck. It was indeed luck, Elder Mu thought to himself.
"Heaven’s sake?! Glass Type Emperor green, I’m not seeing things am I? From Elder Mu’s pile of junk stones, Emperor green emerged."
"Emperor green?! Is it really Emperor green!"
Envious gazes turned towards the piece of stone, and many eyes also turned towards Qin Qin, wondering how such a young girl could be so lucky!
Elder Hou’s expression was complicated as he stared at Qin Qin.
The master, cutting Glass Type Emperor green for the first time, became careful after the first careless cut, edging around the sides, fearing to damage such a fine stone.
Such an ordinary-looking stone with no special features had produced Emperor green.
When the master poured water over the jade, revealing the entire face of the jade, two fists-sized pieces of jade, shiny and translucent, sparkled with dazzling light, attracting gazes that couldn’t be pulled away.
"I’d like to buy too, but I can’t afford it. A piece of Glass Type Emperor green of this size is worth over a hundred million, well beyond my reach!" Voices of sighs and disappointment arose.
Qin Qin took the piece of Emperor green stone. She couldn’t help but be excited herself; the jade was so beautiful that even she couldn’t look away.
"Sorry, I’m not selling. I’m planning to give this to my family!"
Upon Qin Qin’s words, many sighed in disappointment.
Having acquired the beautiful jade, Qin Qin decided it was time to head home.
