59: Imperial Green? More like Imperial Crack!

Chen Kai smiled faintly, took the sliced-in-two Jade Rough Stone out of the cutting machine, and glanced at the cross-section.

The previous cut had clearly been marble, and it was only five centimeters away from this cut, meaning if the person who bought this stone last time had just cut five centimeters further, they would have Scored a Bargain.

The jade buyers waiting nearby crowded forward all at once, their eyes gleaming as they looked at this half-stone.

This Jade Rough Stone had originally been cut horizontally, and the remaining half had been cut vertically, leaving almost zero risk.

Buying it meant pure profit. There was no need to worry about risk.

"Holy crap! This is a real gem!"

"Top-quality Ice Yang Green, I bid two hundred thousand! I freaking love this big baby!"

"I bid 220,000! This little Brother has amazing eyes. Who would have thought you could get top-quality Ice Yang Green from a Waste Stone Pile?"

"I bid 250,000! Buying this is pure profit. It's much easier to sell than Yellow Wrapped Green. This trip was worth it!"

"Screw you! Didn't you say you wouldn't buy material from a Waste Stone Pile even if it yielded Imperial Green? Why are you bidding for it now?"

"I said I wouldn't buy it if it was Imperial Green, I didn't say I wouldn't buy Ice Yang Green! Little Brother, sell it to me, I'm begging you, Brother!"

"Amazing! This eyesight is absolutely top-tier. Without spending an extra cent, he turned fifty into over two hundred thousand. That's incredible!"

Chen Kai smiled faintly and turned his head to the jade buyer who had spoken up for him earlier. "How much do you bid?"

The jade buyer who had helped him earlier was visibly stunned. "Me? I can offer 240,000. My channels are just average; if I give more, I won't make a profit."

"Alright, it's yours for 240,000."

Chen Kai calmly took out his phone, opened his payment code, and placed the stone in his hand.

"Huh?! Thank you, Brother! Holy crap! I'm scanning you!"

"Your eyes are amazing, Brother. From now on, the Jiangnan jade gambling world will have another legend about getting top-quality Ice Yang Green from a Waste Stone Pile! You're way more impressive than those who Score a Bargain for twenty thousand! I admire you!"

The man was so excited he was stunned. He hadn't expected that just by speaking up for Chen Kai, he would Score such a Bargain. He quickly took out his phone and transferred 240,000, fearing Chen Kai might change his mind.

Chen Kai looked at the 240,000 that arrived in his WeChat and smiled faintly.

"Done."

Chen Kai was in a good mood. Another 200,000-plus had arrived, and now his WeChat balance had reached 680,000.

Surpassing a million in net worth didn't seem like such a difficult thing after all.

"Oh, damn it, my stupid mouth! I shouldn't have been such a jerk!"

"I have a big boss waiting for Ice Yang Green! I really... Sigh... I'm old, I can't even tell who has a good eye anymore."

"Brother, don't take what happened before to heart. Let's exchange business cards. I'll buy any jade you have in the future. Let's keep in touch!"

After the man finished speaking, the crowd began handing business cards to Chen Kai. Chen Kai selectively took a few and turned to find Liu Yunshang.

When he turned around, he realized that Liu Yunshang's expression had gone from shock to astonishment, and from astonishment to joy.

"Little Brother, you're amazing!"

Liu Yunshang cheered, ran quickly toward Chen Kai, and hugged him tightly.

"You're so impressive! You saw that it was a bargain at a single glance?"

"No wonder you looked down on that Jade Rough Stone in the high-end area. Who would care about twenty thousand, or be smug about earning twenty thousand!"

Liu Yunshang hugged Chen Kai tightly, her heart filled with excitement.

He was so amazing; Chen Kai was exactly the kind of man with top-tier eyesight! Scenes from novels were actually playing out in reality.

He didn't even need to Score a Bargain in the defective goods area! He Scored a Bargain directly from the Waste Stone Pile!! Turning fifty into 240,000 was a miracle!

With Chen Kai helping her look at stones, she was set.

"Hehe... Just good luck."

Chen Kai smiled faintly, the scent of her hair wafting over him.

Being in her arms, he always felt like he was being fouled while playing basketball.

"Stop pretending. You have such good eyes and you've been faking it with me for so long."

Liu Yunshang giggled and secretly poked Chen Kai with her finger.

Chen Kai broke free from her embrace and looked in the direction her finger was pointing. It was Zhou Haoyu, watching this scene with a dark face.

He still had to bite the bullet and step forward two paces. "Congratulations, you have good luck."

"See you at the top lot auction later. Heh, Sister Yunshang, but I still have to say one thing to you: luck can't be used forever. I still favor top lot number 024."

"If you want to buy it, I can invest a share."

After Zhou Haoyu finished speaking, he left with a dark face.

Chen Kai's expression tightened. top lot number 024?

He quickly turned his head to Liu Yunshang. "Is that the top lot you wanted to bid on before?"

"It's the 024 he mentioned. What's wrong?"

Liu Yunshang was stunned for a moment, suddenly noticing that Chen Kai's expression was a bit off.

"How much longer until the bidding starts? Let's go take a look at the stone first."

Chen Kai said, frowning. Seeing Liu Yunshang's brows furrow as well, he revealed a relaxed smile. "It's nothing, I just want to see it ahead of time. I'll use my luck to help you take a gamble, Sister."

"Mm! I believe in your good luck, little Brother!"

Liu Yunshang took the initiative to hold his hand. She was already deeply convinced of Chen Kai's eyesight.

Good luck? If it was just good luck, why didn't others use 150 to get 240,000?

And that was by going straight to the Waste Stone Pile and only buying half a piece.

Just as Chen Kai turned around, the voices of various jade buyers came from behind him.

"Take care, Brother! Let's keep in touch!"

"Brother, your eyes are amazing! If you have time, help us give some advice, we'll pay you an advisory fee!"

Chen Kai nodded. Seeing more and more people gathering and spreading the story of turning 50 into 240,000, he left the stone-cutting area without looking back.

He took Liu Yunshang straight to the top lot area in the very center.

Compared to other areas, there were relatively fewer people in the top lot area.

In the very center of the stage, five top lots were displayed.

Placed right in the middle was top lot number 024, a large stone weighing several hundred jin.

The Jade Rough Stone's crust was nearly smooth in texture, with a bit of Imperial Green showing on the crust.

"No wonder so many people favor this stone. With a starting price of over twenty million, they're just using this little bit of Imperial Green as bait."

Chen Kai clicked his tongue secretly and looked at the second top lot with a yellow crust on the left, as provided by the system intelligence.

"Huh? Why isn't it the yellow-crusted one?"

Just then, a staff member with a small notebook swapped the positions of number 1 and number 2, placing the yellow-crusted jade in the second position on the left.

Only then did Chen Kai set his mind at ease. He turned on his phone's flashlight and walked up to the largest stone, number 024, pretending to inspect it.

He was almost lying on the Jade Rough Stone, examining it seriously, though he couldn't see anything.

Liu Yunshang followed him. Watching Chen Kai take a few professional looks, she couldn't wait to ask, "Little Brother, how is this stone?"
