He s Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 263: [263] Isn’t it just a piece of jade? Is it necessary?_1
 

As the crowd buzzed with speculation, the stone dissolving master had already made the first cut and stopped the machine.

Everyone craned their necks to see what he was doing, some even standing on tiptoe as if this would allow them to see the results before anyone else.

However, this time the master did not immediately lift the stone out to display it.

Instead, he turned back to glance at Tang Feng, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.

Then he leaned back over the stone dissolving machine, rinsing the cut with clear water.

The crowd was even more puzzled now.

“Did he hit the jackpot or bust? Can’t he just stop playing mysterious?”

“Yeah, hurry up and show it to us.”

“Judging by the master’s expression, he seems surprised. Could it be that this piece of rough has increased in value too?”

“No way, how is that possible…”

Stone gambling inherently involves the word “gamble,” proving that it’s very difficult for anyone to be absolutely certain.

Normally, it is expected that the stone’s value will decrease, and it’s unusual for it to increase.

How could it be that two pieces in a row increased in value?

Xu Xinling was impulsive, and she hurriedly pushed through the crowd to the front of the stone dissolving machine and peered inside.

“Ah, is this… a bust?”

Hearing her words, the crowd looked at each other in confusion.

A bust?

Did it actually bust?

Ma Qizhi was about to leap for joy.

If Tang Feng’s stone had indeed decreased in value, then he would almost certainly clinch the victory.

The thought of winning Xu Beihong’s Galloping Horse Painting almost made him laugh out loud.

“Hahaha… Mr. Tang, victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and it’s the same with stone gambling. There are ups and downs; you must stay calm.”

Although his words seemed to be consoling Tang Feng, the schadenfreude in his voice was unmistakable.

Tang Feng responded with a nonchalant smile and said little.

However, before Ma Qizhi had much time to revel in his delight,

the master lifted out the stone and presented it for everyone to see.

“Uh…”

Ma Qizhi’s laughter was suddenly stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t laugh anymore.

“High Ice-Type Vivid Green?”

The stone had only been scraped on one side, but the jade within was already showing.

A deep green radiance was visible, and it looked so captivating.

“My God, it’s High Ice-Type, and even Vivid Green, which is second only to the Imperial Green in glass type quality.”

“Come on, it’s up again? Can it get any more exaggerated? My heart can’t take this.”

“He just randomly chose two pieces of rough, how could both experience such a surge? This is really weird.”

“You girl, what are you babbling about? This is High Ice-Type Vivid Green, what do you mean by a decrease in value?”

“Right, you little missy are too bad, deceiving us like that…”

Some angry onlookers began to chastise Xu Xinling for spreading false information.

Xu Xinling stuck out her tongue, “I don’t understand much, I just thought this stone wasn’t as pretty as the one before.”

Upon hearing her explanation, the crowd was almost floored.

“What are you joking about? The piece we saw just now was only regular ice-type, but this is high ice-type, and it’s vivid green at that, worth who knows how many times more.”

“The ice-type piece from before was a bit paler, this piece is deeper. Maybe young ladies these days don’t like this deeper color.”

“What do young ladies know, vivid green is top-notch, second only to imperial green.”

Xu Xinling was so embarrassed by everyone’s comments that she wished she could disappear.

She truly thought the lighter colored ice-type piece from before was prettier, which is why she had thought this piece was a bust.

But she hadn’t expected such a blunder; these green and oily pieces were actually worth more.

Ma Qizhi felt a surge of blood rising to his chest.

Just now, he was gloating over Tang Feng’s supposed failure, only to experience a drastic turn of events the next second.

The roller-coaster ride from heaven to hell was too much for him to bear.

“Mr. Tang, stop cutting, I’ll buy this piece for one million.”

“Are you kidding me? This is high ice-type vivid green, you think you can buy it with just one million?”

“We’ve only polished an edge, if we cut deeper it might be ruined. My one million is also taking on the risk, alright?”

“I’ll offer one and a half million.”

“I’ll offer two million…”

Many people at the scene were eager to outbid one another.

But Tang Feng ignored them all and nodded at the Stone Dissolving Master, signaling him to continue cutting.

The Stone Dissolving Master clamped the piece back onto the Stone Dissolving Machine and pressed the start button once more.

“Screech screech screech…”

The sound of cutting was incessant and suspense hung heavy over the audience members.

After what felt like an eternity, but was only about ten or so minutes, the stone dissolving finally came to an end.

The Stone Dissolving Master brought out the finished piece, about the size of two fists, with the majority being high ice-type vivid green and a small portion regular ice-type.

The eyes of those present nearly popped out of their heads.

“My goodness, I’ve been gambling on stone for some years now, and rarely saw such a scene before; today I actually witnessed it several times in a row.”

“This Mr. Tang… No, Mr. Tang is practically a living god, managing to hit the jackpot twice in a row.”

“This piece, it must be worth at least ten million, right?”

“Quick, weigh it, how many grams?”

Under the urging of the crowd, the Stone Dissolving Master placed the piece onto the electronic scale.

The final result was 5.3 kilograms.

“Mr. Tang, I’ll take this piece for ten million.”

“Ten million? Are you joking? This is now a clearly marked piece, and you dare to offer only ten million? I’ll offer fifteen million.”

“Don’t you know the market? This is high ice-type vivid green. I’ll offer twenty million!”

“Twenty-five million…”

The audience was boiling with excitement, each trying to outbid the others.

Xinling was frightened by their craziness and instinctively retreated to Tang Feng’s side, “They are too crazy, aren’t they? It’s just a piece of jade, is it worth all this?”

“That’s because you come from a well-fed background and have no concept of money. For the vast majority, money can drive people insane.”

Tang Feng also felt quite emotional about this.

These people who could shell out millions in an instant were, in the eyes of ordinary people, wealthy; they usually walked around well-dressed and respectable.

But faced with the chance to make a fortune, weren’t they just like the old men and women fighting over eggs in the supermarket?

It shows that, essentially, people are all the same.
