Chapter 347: Chapter 245: Beaten to Death? Teammates Like Pigs

Chapter 245

"Jade Silk Type," she lightly lifted her eyebrows, her gaze sweeping shallowly over Pan Ling’s smiling face, noticing the other’s light breath, her eyes brightened a bit—it seemed that the other party was also not completely sure, yet was somewhat confident.

It appeared that she indeed had the skill to gamble on stones.

She glanced once more at the stunning, breathtaking Jade Silk jade and gently said, "Or rather, High Ice Type."

Sui Yi’s words made Gong Jiu and the others frown; did that mean this jade was of high value?

"Stronger than mine, huh?" mumbled Gong Jiu.

"Do you understand?" Flower Demon gave Gong Jiu a sidelong glance.

"Nonsense, I obviously know. High Ice Type... there’s an extra ’high’ compared to my ’Ice Type,’ so it’s a level higher," he replied.

"...." His understanding was indeed crude but powerful, and he accidentally got it right!

High Ice Type Jade Silk Type was considered a small treasure among jades. If it was large enough, it could be regarded as a top gem by many jewelers because they could turn them into luxury jewelry, creating profits twice or even several times higher, depending on the design.

Of course, that presupposed that this piece of jade would end up in their hands.

"This Jade Silk Type weighs about twenty kilograms, right?"

"Not bad in size."

Twenty kilograms of High Ice Type Jade Silk Type, at first glance looked about the size of a small cantaloupe; under sunlight, the dark green jade silk inside was distinct, radiantly mesmerizing, and very moving.

It really tempted Boss Niu. He said, "Ah, Old Niu I’ve always said this Gambler Spirit Miss is amazing. With just one cutting, she has unveiled such fine jade—it’s a windfall for us jewelers! By the way, Miss Pan, you’re not going to refuse to sell it, are you..."

Based on past experiences, Pan Ling was always inclined to sell, but Flower Demon and Sui Yi noticed that this woman was actually very competitive and couldn’t stand being inferior. Since Gong Jiu wasn’t selling, if she did, it would seem like she was lesser than him—so, would she really sell it?

"Sorry, Boss Niu, I’m not selling," Pan Ling said, causing Flower Demon’s lips to curve slightly—sure enough, she wasn’t selling.

This was absolutely a bolt from the blue for many jewelers. Boss Niu’s face fell, but they did not even get to ask before Pan Ling already explained, "This jade is already set to be kept..."

What she implied was that it was to be kept within her family. People understood and couldn’t press her any further, only managing to sigh deeply.

But Pan Ling still had other raw materials...

"Miss Pan, you have other raw materials too; why don’t you cut them all?"

Pan Ling smiled faintly and refused, turning to Sui Yi: "Miss Sui is here too. I will not be doing the cutting; let her handle the jade cutting."

Right, the crowd almost forgot there was a Sui Yi.

However, compared to Gong Jiu who exuded an aura of wealth in every gesture and the five million worth of raw materials he bought, Sui Yi’s materials seemed rather unremarkable.

It was just one piece of dark and poorly performing raw material, no bigger than a grinding wheel.

Was it even two hundred kilograms?

"Miss Sui has exceptional vision and seems to have unusual luck. This raw material might just turn out to be impressive," Pan Ling said with a smile, though she was criticizing the quality of the raw material while praising Sui Yi, a clever jab indeed.

Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone’s faces, Gong Jiu and others felt both annoyed and a bit uneasy.

Speaking of which, Pan Ling was quite skilled herself. If she managed to cut the jade, and Sui Yi did not, people naturally would think Sui Yi was inferior to Pan Ling. Since Sui Yi also worked in the jewelry business and was somewhat in the same field as Pan Ling, wouldn’t that put her at a disadvantage during their future encounters?

But Sui Yi’s piece of raw material truly didn’t look promising. Even though Gong Jiu and others had confidence in Sui Yi, they felt considerably less hopeful about this raw material.

"I should have let Sui Yi cut that piece of mine; after all, she directed its purchase... With just this piece, how can she win?" Gong Jiu’s muttering made Flower Demon shake her head, "That wouldn’t make much of a difference. Your jade doesn’t hold a candle to Pan Ling’s, and there’s a big gap in the purchase value, with a profit discrepancy of at least ten million. So, Sui Yi would still lose."

Lose? Although it was not declared a competition, Dark Side had already been subtly led by Pan Ling into a comparison—in other words, a competition.

And since it was a competition, there inevitably had to be a winner and a loser.

Someone had already asked about the price of Sui Yi’s raw material.

It was the blustery, outspoken Boss Niu.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

The crowd was shocked. One hundred and twenty thousand! So cheap?

Impossible, the pricing was very high this time, and to get almost two hundred kilograms of raw material for just one hundred and twenty thousand was too bizarre...

"Perhaps it’s because of its poor appearance, resulting in fewer competitors," Pan Ling gently explained, and upon hearing this, everyone nodded; indeed, that was the reason!
