The reason why they exchanged meaningful smiles was that the two staff members could tell that Yang Guang and Qi Yingxue were tourists who knew nothing about stone gambling.
Few of the stones dug out from the river had jade inside. How could there be emerald?
Yang Guang did not care about others’ opinions. After registering, he went to the stone-cutting machine under the guidance of the staff members.
Qi Yingxue did not take it seriously. She just wanted to have some fun. She thought to herself, “If he wants to play, then let him play. After all, stones are not worth much!”!
Coming to the side of the stone-cutting machine, the host looked at the stone in Yang Guang’s hand. Then, he immediately said with a smile, “This gentleman is also here to gamble on stones?”
“Yes, I want to try my luck!” Yang Guang said with indifference.
“I advise you to give up. This stone is valueless. If you really want to participate in the Stone Gambling Game, you’d better buy a raw stone of better quality!” the host said.
Yang Guang was stunned when he heard that. He looked at him and asked, “Why? Are there any rules about the price? The cheap stone can’t be cut? If you don’t allow me to cut the stone, why did you let me register?”
“That’s not what I mean. It’s just my suggestion. I don’t want to waste everyone’s time!” The host laughed.
Yang Guang sneered inwardly. He thought to himself, “Don’t be so smug. When you cut it off, you will know how wrong you are!”
When he bought the stone just now, he saw this piece of stone among a pile of stones! The reason why he was so confident was that other stones emitted no light, but this piece of stone emitted a dark green light.
Yang Guang was sure that there was good stuff in this stone, so he pretended to bargain with the stall owner and managed to buy it for 15 dollars.
At the same time, he also noticed that there were still some leftover scraps on the ground after Mr. Wan cut King Stone. One of them was quite big.
So Yang Guang looked at the host. “Competition is competition. No matter what kind of stone I take, no matter how much money I spent, you have the duty to cut it for me, right?”
Then he pointed at the scraps on the ground. “Are you selling this stone? I want to cut an extra piece!”
“Ah?”
The host was dumbfounded. His eyes widened. “You want this scrap too?”
“Trash is cheap!”
Yang Guang shrugged.
“Haha, you’re interesting. If you want my trash, I’ll give it to you! You don’t have to pay for it!”
Mr. Wan did not leave. He thought that he was going to win tonight, and the championship of this year’s Stone Gambling Game would also be his.
Therefore, he stayed to watch the show.
Yang Guang’s appearance really made him laugh. He thought to himself, “Where did this layman come from? Why did he want this trash?”
Yang Guang turned around and glanced at Mr. Wan. He shook his head and said, “I can’t take it for free. I will pay!”
“That piece of trash has no value at all. If you really want it, then give me 15 dollars!” Mr. Wan said with a smile.
“Okay, no problem!”
Yang Guang took out 15 dollars and handed it over. Then, he picked up the piece of scrap that had a side cut out. “The deal is done. It’s mine now!”
“That’s right. Let’s cut it open and see!” Mr. Wan had a mischievous smile on his face. He was ready to watch a good show.
The host was also speechless in his heart, but he still maintained a polite smile on his face. “Sir, which stone are you going to cut first?”
“The big one.”
Yang Guang casually handed the piece of scrap in his hand to the stonecutter.
The stonecutter earned his salary by cutting the stone. So let’s cut it!
Just as he was about to fix the scrap, Yang Guang said, “You don’t need to peel it. Just cut it from here!”
“Okay!”
The stonecutter nodded. He would do whatever the guest wanted.
So he quickly fixed the stone according to the requirements of Yang Guang and pressed the start button.
Only then did Yang Guang know how loud the noise of the stone-cutting machine was!
The noise was so loud that it could deafen the listeners!
Therefore, he and Qi Yingxue covered their ears. The people around them saw it. Immediately, they started laughing at them secretly.
As expected, he was a rookie. He couldn’t even stand this little bit of noise.
However, the people’s disdain only lasted for half a minute because the stone-cutting machine quickly cut open the stone and revealed a piece of emerald!
When the stone was taken down, everyone present was stunned!
Mr. Wan’s eyes were wide open. The host opened his mouth, but he did not make a sound.
The stonecutter was still rather calm. He looked at Yang Guang and asked, “Do you want to make another cut?”
“Go ahead, make another cut from this side!” Yang Guang gestured.
“Okay!”
The stonecutter re-fixed that piece of trash and then started the machine again.
Everyone held their breath. No one dared to look down on Yang Guang anymore.
Because everyone saw that there was a piece of high-grade emerald in that inconspicuous trash!
In the blink of an eye, the stone was cut according to Yang Guang’s request. The eyes of the stonecutter lit up!
This piece of emerald was precious! It was priceless!
The raw stone was a scrap, so the emerald that was cut out was not big. It was about the size of a palm, and its thickness was only about 0.8 inches.
As for this piece of emerald, 80% of it was translucent green. It was the standard type of icy species jadeite!
When the icy species jadeite was handed to Yang Guang, the stonecutter’s eyes were filled with admiration. “Congratulations!”
“Thank you!”
Yang Guang had a faint smile on his face and turned to look at the stunned host. “Can we ask the old master to estimate the value?”
“This…”
The host looked blank and turned to look at the old man beside him.
The old man was calm. He had seen this kind of thing in stone gambling before. Although it rarely happened, it still occurred a few times in the past.
The old man looked at Mr. Wan without showing any emotion. He saw that Mr. Wan’s face was livid. It was obvious that his feelings were very complicated!
Then, the old man looked at Yang Guang, “Young man, you are so lucky!”
“Thank you!”
Yang Guang smiled and handed over the icy species jadeite in his hand, “How much is it worth?”
The old man held it in his hand and said, “It has good quality. It could be used to make a bracelet and a few ring surfaces. This material is worth 130,000 dollars!”
Yang Guang was stunned. “The value is not high.”
The old man was also dumbfounded. “It has already increased by 8,000 times. Are you still not satisfied?”
“I don’t have any interest in multiples. I just feel that the money is not enough,” Yang Guang said.

Hearing what he said, the old man was a little speechless. He looked at Yang Guang and said, “Young man, don’t be too greedy. You are already very lucky. You only spent 15 dollars buying icy species jadeite that is worth 130,000 dollars!”
Then, he added, “If you feel that the price is low, you can reprocess this material. Go back and find a master to process it into a bracelet and ring surfaces. If you sell them, you can probably get 160,000 dollars!”
“Oh, that’s not much!”
Yang Guang shook his head and looked at the stone in his hand. “It seems that even if this stone has a better emerald in it, it still does not worth much!”
“What? Are you crazy? It’s such luck to get icy species jadeite. Do you think there are emeralds everywhere?” Mr. Wan said snappily..
