With that, Ding Zhengyang took his rough stone and went to wait by the stone gambler master.

After understanding the situation, Liu Ergou quickly returned to the display cabinet to start selecting rough stones. His selection was swift; he could tell whether there was jadeite inside a stone with a single touch. In just five or six minutes, he had felt every reasonably priced rough stone, aside from the most expensive ones in the display. However, Liu Ergou still hadn't found a stone to his liking.

Watching Liu Ergou, Zhang Man grew extremely anxious. Why has he suddenly become like this? Has he gone mad with desperation?

Just as Zhang Man was about to say something, Liu Ergou suddenly stopped in front of a rough stone the size of a basketball. He stroked his chin, studying the stone. After some thought, he looked down at the price and was stunned. The basketball-sized rough stone was actually valued at 110,000.

This price made Liu Ergou quite emotional. If there's no jadeite in it, my 110,000 will go right down the drain. What a tragic waste of money that would be. Luckily for me, I can tell if there's jadeite in this stone. After searching for so long, it was this basketball-sized rough stone that called to me the most. Without a doubt, there has to be valuable jadeite inside this stone.

With his mind made up, Liu Ergou decided to buy it. Seeing that he had chosen the stone, Zhang Man, who was standing behind him, immediately offered to pay.

But Liu Ergou stopped her.

"No need for you to pay; I have my own money!" he declared. With that, Liu Ergou took out his phone and paid the 110,000.

Then, Liu Ergou brought the rough stone over to where Ding Zhengyang was. Seeing Liu Ergou arrive, Ding Zhengyang sneered and instructed the stone gambler master to cut his and Liu Ergou's stones first.

Watching the stone gambler master work, Ding Zhengyang sneered, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, 110,000, huh! And you didn't even want me to pay for it. Tell me, if there's no jadeite in that stone of yours, won't you, the country bumpkin, be utterly ruined? Oh dear, that would be just too tragic. I almost feel too bad to continue this bet with you!"

Listening to Ding Zhengyang's derisive comments, Liu Ergou couldn't be bothered to respond. He simply stood to the side, waiting quietly.

Half an hour later, several employees swiftly approached Liu Ergou and Ding Zhengyang, carrying two cut stones.

"Gentlemen, your stones have been cut," one of the employees announced, placing the two pieces on the counter. The employee pointed at a fist-sized piece of jadeite and said to Ding Zhengyang, "Sir, this is your jadeite. May I ask if you…"

He hadn't finished speaking when Ding Zhengyang impatiently interrupted him. "Stop dawdling! Hurry up and open this for me!"

Hearing this, the employee immediately opened Ding Zhengyang's stone without hesitation. In the next second, a dazzling purple hue was revealed before everyone's eyes. The appearance of the purple instantly drew a crowd, where there had only been a few onlookers before. As the group gathered around, they couldn't help but marvel.

"Wow, that's lavender jadeite! The color is incredible!"

"That's right, this lavender jadeite has a very pure color with no impurities. The texture is delicate; it'll fetch a good price!"

"I agree. I bet this piece of jadeite is worth at least 1,000,000, no problem!"

A bystander's mention of one million made Ding Zhengyang beam with delight. He straightened up proudly and turned to Liu Ergou. "See that? It's impossible for you to beat me! What's a casual attempt for me is the best anyone could hope for! Do you have any idea how rare lavender jadeite is? Heh, you want to win? That's pure fantasy! I'm afraid that apart from more rock, the best you'll find in that worthless stone of yours is a common bean-type!"

At this, Ding Zhengyang burst into hearty laughter.

Watching the laughing man, Liu Ergou remained expressionless and said coolly, "Oh. Well, congratulations. You're just so amazing. However, business is business. My stone still needs to be cut. This is a competition, after all, and there has to be fairness. Otherwise, who would dare to compete in the future?"

As Liu Ergou finished speaking, a staff member immediately opened his basketball-sized rough stone. The moment the stone was opened, the chattering crowd instantly fell silent. Not a single person dared to say another word.

The crowd's reaction made Liu Ergou nervous. After all, when it came to jadeite, I'm completely clueless. Seeing the silent crowd, Liu Ergou felt his heart pound, and he couldn't help but look down at his own stone.

He saw that half of it contained something that looked completely transparent. If you didn't look closely, you might mistake it for glass. At the sight, Liu Ergou scratched his head. If I'm not mistaken, this is a bust. This thing looks like glass; how could it possibly be valuable?

He took a deep breath, preparing to accept his fate, when someone in the crowd behind him shouted, "HOLY SHIT! GLASS-TYPE! THAT'S JUST INSANE! What is with today? Why are all these valuable jadeites popping up?"

Following that person's shout, more people started talking excitedly.

"Yeah, yeah, that's glass-type! Top quality! A fist-sized piece alone is worth 2,000,000!"

"Exactly! And this piece is much bigger than a fist. This chunk could easily go for five or six million!"

"What incredible luck! He just entered the business and is set to retire immediately. It's like he's being spoon-fed by Heaven!"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Liu Ergou, the jadeite novice, finally understood. It seemed the jadeite he had cut was actually quite valuable. He wasn't sure of the exact price, but it was definitely worth more than what Ding Zhengyang had found.

With this thought, Liu Ergou breathed a long sigh of relief. I didn't lose after all! And this stone gambling is insanely profitable! Turning 110,000 into five or six million in the blink of an eye… that's faster than robbing a bank! If I came here every day and cut a 5,000,000-yuan piece of jadeite, I'd be rolling in wealth in just a few months!
