Chapter 8: [8] Maybe Lady Luck is my daughter-in-law?_1
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Off to the side, Song Lele watched this scene and listened to the chatter of the crowd around her.
For some reason, she always felt that this scene seemed strangely familiar.
A strong sense of déjà vu, almost hitting her in the face, made her feel exceptionally eerie.
Could it be that today really was Tang Feng’s lucky day?
…
Next to Song Lele, the rich second generation who had just been convinced Tang Feng was a complete newbie was almost numb.
“Damn it, I’ve been playing the gambling stone game for years, how come my luck has never been this good?”
The rich second generation cursed under his breath before turning to Song Lele to ask.
“Dude, is your friend really playing gambling stones for the first time?”
“Those three stones he picked, were they really chosen at random? He isn’t some big shot pretending to be a newbie, right?”
Song Lele glanced at him and didn’t respond.
She was still dumbfounded and had no interest in caring about what others were thinking.
Tang Feng’s luck was simply too invincible!
After a while, Song Lele took a deep breath and exclaimed with envy in her voice, “Big Boss, your luck today is really too good, these two pieces of jade together must have made you several hundred thousand by now.”
As someone who was perennially unlucky, Song Lele usually resented those lucky dogs, but when such a lucky dog was her own friend, all that was left was envy.
“It’s alright, just a small profit,” Tang Feng said with a Versailles tone.
“Maybe there will be a surprise in the last one?”
Song Lele’s eye twitched.
“Don’t tell me, bro, after two successful finds, the third one will be a success too? Do you really think you are the illegitimate child of the Goddess of Luck?”
Tang Feng boasted playfully, “Don’t jinx it, maybe the Goddess of Luck is my wife, you know?”
Song Lele was immediately speechless, “Look at how pleased you are, I refuse to believe your last stone will produce anything!”
Tang Feng, with his cheat system by his side, grinned, “Well, let’s wait and see~!”
…
While they were talking, the master stone cutter had already begun to work on the third piece of jade raw stone.
As the grinding wheel spun against the stone, the crowd that had been in awe of Tang Feng’s luck held their breath once more.
To these gamblers, the grating noise of the grinding wheel against the stone was the most attractive sound in the world.
However, it didn’t take long, once the stone was cut open and the dust washed away with clear water, for a charming and soul-stirring shade of green to nearly blind everyone under the indoor lighting.
This was an A-grade jade, a color unique to the rare “Imperial Green” that was hardly seen on ordinary days!
“My god, Imperial Green, it’s freaking Imperial Green!”
“Such a big piece of Imperial Green, it must be worth at least a few million to start with, damn, this is crazy!”
“Three stones and three successes, can a human even do this?”
“This piece of Imperial Green might not look big, but it’s big enough to make a couple of bangles and several smaller pieces, for sure!”
“Damn, I knew this stone was trustworthy, I was just too slow to act on it!”
…
As the stunning Imperial Green was revealed to everyone, many people started to breathe more heavily.
Among the stone gambling crowd present, how many could ever gamble out an Imperial Green in their lifetime?
And Song Lele, who had just doubted that Tang Feng could find anything more, was now looking at him as if she’d seen a ghost.
He really hit the jackpot again?!
Three for three?!
Could this be the legendary predestined lucky koi, a living God of Luck?
Not even a God of Wealth should be feeding fortune this insanely!
Meanwhile, on the stone gambling platform, the two apprentices who had been cutting the stones were now hesitant to continue, passing the tools back to their master.
This level of jade, if they damaged it, they couldn’t afford the loss.
“Young man, your stone has already greatly increased in value. Selling it now could easily bring five or six million. Are you sure you want to cut it all out?” the master cutter kindly reminded Tang Feng.
“Hahaha, no worries, Master, go ahead and cut boldly, I came here to have fun today. It’s just a matter of how much more I’ll earn,” Tang Feng said generously with a gesture.
In fact, he had already confirmed with the All-Seeing Scanning System that this piece of jade stone would fetch around nine million based on the current market price.
Selling now for just five or six million, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
“Hehe, young man, you’ve got a good attitude,” the master cutter chuckled and nodded, appreciating Tang Feng’s open-mindedness.
The unscrupulous merchants who had been ready to offer a price to buy the stone upon hearing the conversation also felt somewhat helpless.
Clearly, this was another hobbyist who was not short on cash.
When the entire stone was finally completely unwrapped, a crystal-clear piece of Imperial Green jade, flawlessly presented itself before everyone’s eyes.
That tempting green symbolized a very high price to come.
“A total of 307 grams, young man, I’m not sure if you’d be interested in selling this piece of raw jade. Our Wan Shi Pavilion offers a buying price of thirty-one thousand per gram for such quality jade. I doubt there are many others on the market who can offer a higher price,” the master cutter said with a smile to Tang Feng after weighing the raw stone.
In addition to stone gambling and cutting, Wan Shi Pavilion naturally also dealt in buying high-quality raw jade.
A complete service, nothing less.
Half a jin in weight, selling at that price would actually fetch over nine million, which naturally stirred up another commotion among the onlookers.
Tang Feng’s heart also leaped.
A nine-million-dollar pie just fell from the sky and hit him on the head.
Anyone would be dizzy from that!
