210: Don't give up yet.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a raw stone stall.

There were thousands of stones, big and small, displayed here.

Many people on site were bending down, carefully selecting what they valued.

The boss was also constantly greeting potential customers passing by.

Seeing these few people come to the stall, the boss's eyes lit up.

From their attire, it was clear that these people were wealthy.

Large companies often came here to buy raw stones in bulk.

Perhaps this was truly a big client.

The boss immediately greeted them with a smile.

“What are you few looking for?”

Han Lei was in an even worse mood now.

He had already lost to Chen Tianming once at their current location.

Just now, Mia had flattered Chen Tianming in every way, which further widened the gap in their abilities.

Now, he was finally in his area of expertise.

No matter what, he had to get back one win.

Thinking this, Han Lei’s eyes immediately began to pick through the pile of stones in front of him.

“We just want to pick two stones.”

Chen Tianming said, glancing at Han Lei, “He wants to compete with me in discernment, so I’ll see it through to the end.”

Upon hearing this, the smile on the boss’s face did not diminish.

It seemed it wasn't a big patron visiting his stall.

Rather, someone wanted to gamble on stones in the street.

For a merchant, this was a great opportunity for free publicity.

Many people would stop at the stall because of this.

A smile immediately appeared on the boss’s face.

“Of course, no problem. I have thousands of raw stones here, guaranteed to let you have your fill of competition!”

As he said this, he deliberately raised his voice a few octaves.

The purpose was to attract passersby.

This trick indeed worked.

Soon, people began to stop in front of the stall.

Seeing that Chen Tianming actually dared to accept the challenge, Han Lei snorted coldly.

“An ignorant fellow, today I’ll show you what a difference in strength is!”

He had the Golden Finger blessing.

No matter what, it was impossible for him to lose to a mere mortal like Chen Tianming.

In contrast, Chen Tianming’s attitude was calmer.

He merely shrugged lightly, “I’ll see it through to the end.”

He immediately rushed to the front of the stall, his eyes like a human scanner, inspecting every stone.

If he saw one with good quality, he would temporarily set it aside, and then continue searching for the next one.

Chen Tianming was not in a hurry, just standing there.

Wan Yue was a little curious, “He’s already started, why aren’t you in a hurry? It would be troublesome if someone took the initiative.”

“Don’t worry.”

Chen Tianming just smiled at this, “I have my own ideas.”

Seeing Chen Tianming’s confident look, Wan Yue stopped asking questions.

She knew that if Chen Tianming said so, he must have his reasons.

Soon, Han Lei grabbed a raw stone and stood up.

A hint of a smile was hidden in his eyes.

“I’ve made my choice, the rest is up to you.”

He didn’t believe Chen Tianming really had any skill.

If this person truly had excellent discernment, he wouldn’t have followed him to the auction just now.

He had the Golden Finger.

No matter what, he couldn’t lose to Chen Tianming.

Han Lei felt a surge of triumph.

The next second, he saw Chen Tianming walk directly to the pile of stones he had just selected.

Han Lei was even happier.

It seemed Chen Tianming didn't have good discernment at all.

He would only choose from the pile that he had already picked through and left behind.

He probably didn't want to lose too badly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but urge him from the side.

“I say, how are you looking?”

Chen Tianming hummed, casually picked up a piece, and held it in his hand.

“Boss, let’s open these two stones together.”

After speaking, the two directly placed the stones in front of them.

The boss immediately agreed and hurried inside to get tools.

Seeing that both of them had almost finished choosing, the onlookers on site also gathered around, craning their necks, wanting to see the results.

Among these people, only Mia was incredibly nervous.

She was afraid that her company’s people would lose to Chen Tianming, and also afraid of offending the legendary Chen Shao because of this.

No matter who won, it would be a loss for her.

Soon, the boss brought the tools.

Out of professional habit, the boss’s eyes scrutinized the two of them.

“I say, are you two really sure you want these two stones? If you are, I’m going to set the price. We’ve agreed, no regrets no matter what comes out later.”

Both agreed almost simultaneously.

Seeing that they were truly determined now, the boss said nothing more, directly taking up his tool and cutting down, first opening Chen Tianming’s stone.

Beneath the rough exterior of the raw stone, an unusual luster actually emerged.

“This is… Qīngbái Jade?”

Someone on site exclaimed.

The onlookers in the back row, hearing this, all crowded forward, wanting to take a closer look.

Upon seeing the texture of the jade, they immediately started discussing animatedly.

Even the boss gasped in surprise.

It was rare for a jade of this grade to appear at his stall.

A wave of regret immediately washed over him.

If he had known this stone could yield such a top-grade item, he should have set the price higher back then!

However, the two men’s stone gambling today had given him free publicity.

Now that a good item had been revealed, he wouldn't have to worry about customers for a long time to come.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, “Congratulations, sir, I never expected such a top-grade jade to be revealed. I also do jade recycling business here, if you’re interested, we can have a good chat.”

Chen Tianming merely smiled faintly at this.

Then he turned to look at the opposite side, “It’s time to open his stone.”

The boss immediately smiled, “Is there still a need to open it?”

He knew better than anyone what quality most of the stones in his pile were.

How could anyone have such good discernment, not only opening a top-grade jade but also surpassing Chen Tianming’s Qīngbái Jade?

The probability was almost zero.

Han Lei, however, felt a surge of suppressed anger.

“Who are you looking down on? Open my stone immediately. If the quality of my stone is worse than his, I’ll buy all the raw stones here!”

The boss’s expression turned serious, “Young man, you’re not joking, are you? It’s still not too late to regret.”

“Heh, do I look like someone who would casually joke about such things?”

Seeing that he was truly getting carried away, the boss sighed helplessly, and could only pick up the tool and cut down.

The crowd of onlookers surrounding them couldn't help but click their tongues.

“I think this person is truly a bit crazy. The outcome is already decided, yet he still wants to save face so much.”

“How could there be two top-grade items in this small stall?”

And the next second, they heard the boss’s exclamation!
