Chapter 592: Chapter 591 Master, Please Accept Me as Your Disciple! (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)

At that moment, everyone in the room had their eyes firmly fixed on the glass gemstone in Wang Hao’s hands.

Master Zhong Yutao’s hands trembled as he looked at Wang Hao and asked hesitantly, "Old... Wang... No, no, no, Master, could the Master allow me to see the gemstone you’ve crafted?!"

"Ah? Sure," since it was Master Zhong asking, Wang Hao nodded immediately and gently handed over the tweezers holding that glass gemstone to Zhong Yutao: "Take a look, Master. If there’s nothing wrong with it, I’ll start crafting the second one."

"I’ll take a look! I must take a good look!" Zhong Yutao took the gemstone and began examining it from every angle with great care.

"This... this is..." Master Zhong first used his eyes to look, then after a while, he suddenly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, and picked up a pair of glasses specially made for inspecting jewelry. He continued to observe while drawing in a breath of cold air: "This gemstone..."

Suddenly, it was as if he caught some kind of fever; he put down the glasses and took out a magnifying glass.

After looking through the magnifying glass for a while and clearly not getting his fill, he suddenly roared, "Little Liu, Little Liu, bring me my microscope quickly!"

Mr. Wu: "..."

Manager: "..."

Xia Xueqi: "..."

A microscope?! No way? He needs a microscope to look at this thing?!

Soon, Master Zhong’s assistant Little Liu moved a microscope over. Master Zhong, while adjusting the microscope, excitedly said, "I’ll try with four times magnification first, don’t be impatient, everyone..."

Quickly after setting the magnification, Master Zhong started inspecting.

"Heavens, this... this..." After watching for a while, Master Zhong began fiddling with the microscope: "No, not enough at four times, let me try eight times!"

He then adjusted the microscope to eight times magnification, and as he watched, he sighed, "This..."

"How is it, Master?" Mr. Wu was incredibly curious and asked from the side: "What about this gemstone, really?"

"Perfect! It’s simply too perfect!" He said this, then suddenly began shaking his head vehemently, saying, "No, no, no, that’s too simplistic of a description, I must convey my true feelings."

Really? Can it be that perfect?

"Master," Mr. Wu quietly reminded from the side: "This is actually just a piece of a beer bottle bottom, is it really as perfect as you say?"

"Nonsense!" Zhong Yutao asserted as a matter of course: "This gemstone can truly be called a work of art! I magnified it eight times and still couldn’t find a single flaw!"

Once Master Zhong had spoken, everyone present was shocked!

A work of art? A piece of glass?

Is it really that exaggerated?!

"Master, what are you talking about?" Mr. Wu said with a laugh while shaking his head: "A piece of glass, oh okay, even if it’s a gemstone, are you really not joking? It’s just a piece of glass, can it be as amazing as you say?"

"No, no, no, I’m really not exaggerating!" Master Zhong stared intently at the gemstone under the microscope, saying, "I see light from this gemstone! Light! That’s the brilliance only the finest of gems can reflect! Look, every facet on this gemstone is absolutely identical; I can’t find a single fault! Seeing it, my eyes feel as though they’ve been blessed by divine light, every cell in my body feels like it’s about to leap! I feel like I’m flying!"

Wang Hao: "..."

Enough already, that’s quite enough if you keep this up I’m going to float away...

"Really? Let me have a look!" Mr. Wu also became amazed after listening!

Could it really be as incredible as Master Zhong says? Anxiously, he said, "You’ve been looking for so long now, it must be about time, right? Hurry and let me have a look!"

"Okay, okay, no need to rush!" Master Zhong looked lovingly a little longer, then finally handed the microscope to Mr. Wu: "Be very careful, Mr. Wu, such a fine piece, you wouldn’t want to drop it on the floor!"

"Of course, I know," Mr. Wu took the microscope and began his inspection.

And just from one glance, Mr. Wu was completely astounded: "This... this... Heavens! It’s true! It’s perfect! The color! The cut, the shape! And the light on it! After seeing this, I feel like all the gems we sell in our store are just trash! Trash! Wuuu... how could it be so beautiful!"

A man in his forties was nearly brought to tears!

It was clear that this incident had quite an impact on him...

Wang Hao: "..."

Is the gemstone I polished really that powerful? Aren’t you guys exaggerating a bit too much?

"Cut it out, making such a fuss," Wang Hao curled his lip, then shook his head, picked up the pliers to grasp the second fragment and said, "Don’t make a sound, I need to polish the second one, I plan to make this into an earring, so make sure not to drop it on the floor..."

"Got it! Got it!" Zhong Yutao was by now completely in awe, nodding his head vigorously: "Master, rest assured, even at the cost of my life, I’m willing to protect the integrity of this gemstone!"

Wang Hao: "..."

You’re being too serious, there are only a few of us here, is it as grave as you’re making it out to be?

By now, the manager’s curiosity was at its peak, her face full of anticipation, desperately pleading: "Master Zhong, can I take a look too, please? This gemstone looks so pretty..."

"What would a little girl like you understand," Master Zhong retorted with irritation: "To an uninitiated person, it might not seem like anything special, but only professionals like us understand its true magnificence. Go away, just go away, you might as well just look at any random diamond."

"Let me have a look, please..." The manager was all aggrieved: "After all, I was the one who brought the people here, and you won’t even let me have a look at such a good thing..."

"Master Zhong, let Little Zhou take a look," Mr. Wu said in a low voice: "After all, she’s been here for such a long time..."

"This..." Master Zhong hesitated, and then, as if making a monumental decision, reluctantly nodded his head: "Then take a look, but I must warn you in advance, absolutely do not touch it with your hands, did you hear me!"

"Yes, yes, I heard you!" Manager Little Zhou nodded furiously, then took over the microscope, squatted down and began to look carefully.

"This... this is... oh my, how could it be so beautiful!" At first, Manager Little Zhou didn’t find it particularly striking, but on closer inspection, she suddenly realized that the gemstone was indeed unusually beautiful, faintly emitting a tea-colored gleam. As she looked on, the tea-colored glow became stronger and stronger, almost reaching directly into one’s soul. In that instant, it seemed as if all the surrounding light was absorbed by the gemstone, and at that moment, her eyes saw nothing else but the gemstone!

"Too beautiful... too beautiful..." she murmured dreamily, completely compelled to reach out and take the gemstone for a closer look, but her hand only extended halfway before retracting quickly, like a startled kitten.

At this moment, her eyes saw only the gemstone, quietly sitting there.

Dazzlingly beautiful.

"Is this really just glass? This is incredible, no flaws at all! Impeccably perfect–and it seems as if it was made specifically for this gemstone!" Manager Little Zhou muttered to herself, her heart pounding more intensely as she watched!

This young man is truly incredible, what an exceptional individual he is, and what an outstanding person his girlfriend must be!

"Are you done looking?" Mr. Wu patted her shoulder: "That’s enough, hurry up, I want to have another look."

"It’s my turn, my turn!" Master Zhong couldn’t resist any longer, the gemstone was too beautiful, both its color and shape made him want to see it a second time, a third time...

Of course, Wang Hao hadn’t noticed any of this.

At that moment, all his attention was entirely focused on the second piece of glass in his hand.

The first gemstone was polished to perfection, and now he was certain that his "Jade Eye" could indeed enhance these kinds of jewelry.

After polishing each facet, when it reached its optimal state, it would emit that sort of faint halo.

If he continued polishing any further, the halo would weaken gradually, until it completely disappeared.

"So it is," with this experience, the subsequent work became much easier, and he began to polish the second piece of glass, facet by facet, one, two, three...

Facet by facet, they were polished from his hands, and this time he was much faster than with the first one.

Yet even so, when he had finished polishing this piece of glass, it was already past six in the evening.

"Ah, I’m exhausted!" Wang Hao stood up and stretched his limbs, then picked up the first gemstone he’d polished and compared the two; the effect was indeed good!

Two gems emitting a faint glow rested in his palm, just the right size, not a bit too much or too little.

"Perfect!" With both gemstones polished successfully, the next step was naturally setting them, and once that was done, it would be completely finished.

"Speaking of which, I’m a bit hungry," Wang Hao touched his belly, but when he finally turned to see Zhong Yutao and the others, he was immediately taken aback: "Master Zhong, what’s with you? What’s going on? Master Zhong?!"

No wonder he was startled; at that moment, Zhong Yutao, Mr. Wu, Manager Little Zhou, and even Xia Xueqi, all four of them had their gazes locked firmly on the two gemstones in his hand.

Unwilling to look away for even a moment.

"Master! Master ah ah ah!" Zhong Yutao lunged forward, grabbing Wang Hao’s arm tightly, and shouted: "Master! Please take me as your apprentice! Can you teach me how to create such perfect gemstones?!"
