Anyone with some common sense would not pick a very large stone during gem gambling unless some green could be seen on the stone. Some gambling stone bosses would deliberately add some green colors on the stone just to get a good price for it. In fact, there was nothing valuable about stones like that. It was usually just a stone of very poor quality that consisted of a little bit of jade. They were usually also heavily flawed. As such, the big stones were usually unpopular when it came to gem gambling.
Unless they were ready to win the mare or lose the halter, no one would pick a huge rock.
The rock that Shen Qianshu picked was a water stone and not a mountain rock.
“Qianshu, are you sure?” Yun An was worried. This rock was so ordinary it did not even look like it contained any jade in it. It was just an ordinary stone, what good could there be in picking it? Even if there was indeed some jade in it, there would be lots of impurities anyway. It would not be very valuable.
“Confirmed!” Shen Qianshu asserted without any hesitation.
“Consider carefully.” Yun An smiled forcedly. Even if she could not get first place, she might still get second or third place. If this rock made her get the last place, it would be awkward and look bad.
“No. It’s fine. I want this!” Shen Qianshu smiled confidently. “I believe in myself.”
Lu Mengxi looked at the rock. She had not taken a look at the big rocks. After Shen Qianshu had selected her stone, several people looked at the stone curiously. They could not see any clues. The handsome organizer broke into a cold sweat.
How unexpected…
Among all the stones, the one Lu Mengxi had chosen was the best one. When Shen Qianshu was looking at it, he was really happy. Now, there was a problem ever since Lu Mengxi took it away. Shen Qianshu had actually picked a rock.
A ROCK!!!
This could be sold as ore in their gambling hall.
“Hahaha. Shen Qianshu is such a joke. I’m just waiting to laugh at her for making a fool of herself.”
“Mengxi is still the best. Mengxi will definitely be champion.”
Shen Qianshu looked confident. The contestants waited for their turn to have their stones examined.
After Yun An’s rock was cut open, it was a jade that looked glassy and emerald green. It was rather pure, and there were not many impurities or flaws in it. It was better than Yun An had expected. He was really surprised. Shen Qianshu said, “Not bad. It’s all green.”
Yun An smiled. “I prefer jade that seem to have flowers floating in it.”
“I like those too,” Shen Qianshu said. “Although emerald jade is more valuable, I don’t really like them. I feel that they are meant for collection. If I wanted to wear them, the ones that look like snow flowers are floating in it are nicer. In fact, they are also very valuable.”
“The better ones are usually more valuable than emerald jade.”
“Yes!”
The two of them discussed as Lu Mengxi’s stone was cut open.
“Wow, it looks so beautiful.”
“It’s an emerald jade that looks like snow flowers are floating in it.”
“Wow, it’s the first time I have seen such jade in the gem gambling hall. It’s so beautiful.”
“Lu Mengxi has such great taste.”
“Indeed, she’s an international level appraiser. She’s so good. Way better than the ones our nation keep boasting about. They’re not even in the same street.”
Tong Hua was mad. This lady was bad-mouthing his mother on purpose and even doing it beside his ear intentionally. How maddening.
“Is that type of jade very valuable?”
Gu Xie said, “Very valuable. In fact, the one she opened is of very good quality. The previous time, my dad had one that was of lower quality than this, and he only got it with over 8,000,000 Yuan.”
Tong Hua was so mad.
It’s so small and yet so valuable. I like big ones! Big ones must be more valuable than small ones!
Mommy, stand firm!
Lu Mengxi threw a look at Shen Qianshu arrogantly. What are you using to compare with me?
