Chapter 195: Chapter 195: You Call This Luck? Fourth Update

Ding Yifan didn’t think he would lose, as Chen Wei was merely putting on an act.

But if he was simply declared the loser, Chen Wei definitely wouldn’t accept it, so the vendor had to slice the two rough stones open to convince Chen Wei of his loss.

Chen Wei and Ding Yifan together had spent less than a thousand yuan, but since it was the vendor’s first day of business, and there was a spectacle to witness, the kind-hearted vendor decided to cut the rough stones for them free of charge.

"Beauty, he’s bound to lose. Where do you want to go afterward? I’ll take you there. I know this place like the back of my hand, I grew up here. Whatever you want to eat or buy, just ask me," Ding Yifan approached Su Yumei and patted his chest, trying to prove his usefulness.

Su Yumei didn’t respond and kept her eyes fixed on the rumbling cutting machine that had started up, while subtly stepping aside to maintain a distance from Ding Yifan.

Ding Yifan was not in a hurry. Seeing her attention on the cutting machine, he said, "Hey, this stone stall is too poor to find more than that one piece of jade, and although the quality isn’t great, at least it’s jade. But don’t worry, beauty, I’ll win for sure. That kid can’t beat me."

Ding Yifan’s stone was the first to be cut open. It contained jade, but it was full of cottony inclusions and too many jade fibers. Even if they could make something out of it, the material wouldn’t be worth the work, a losing deal.

"With this level of skill, you have the nerve to show off," Chen Wei shook his head and sighed, realizing he shouldn’t have expected this guy to bring him any surprises.

"Hmph! Just keep on strutting until the stone is cut open. Keep pretending for a while and satisfy that pitiful and pathetic ego of yours," Ding Yifan did not take Chen Wei’s derogatory remark to heart, believing that he was merely struggling in vain.

The vendor set Ding Yifan’s stone aside and picked up Chen Wei’s, which was very small, even smaller than half a billiard ball. Such stones were considered the most useless of the useless, totally inconspicuous and absolutely impossible to yield better jade than what was just shown.

To put it bluntly, it would be a hundred percent marble when cut open.

The vendor himself had purchased these rough stones through his channels in a wholesale manner. How could he not be aware of their quality?

Otherwise, why would he sell them to Chen Wei and Ding Yifan for just a few hundred yuan?

ZZZzzz...

Accompanied by the harsh cutting sound, and since the stone was very small, it was sliced open in just a few seconds.

"Here, it’s cut. Take a look for yourself," the vendor tossed it dismissively next to Ding Yifan’s feet as a worthless piece of scrap.

He found it a bother and a waste of electricity to concern himself with such a stone.

"See, even he thinks the stone you bought is just a piece of junk, not worth mentioning at all."

Just as Ding Yifan finished speaking, Su Yumei said, "Wei, I think I see a bit of green inside, is that jade?"

Green!

The vendor and Ding Yifan, who hadn’t cared at all at first, instantly turned their attention to it upon hearing these two words.

Half of it was just stone, but on the other half of the cut surface, there indeed was a patch of green the size of a thumbnail!

It was small, yet it was enough to make Ding Yifan freeze on the spot.

Muttering to himself, "This can’t be possible..."

The vendor hurriedly got up, ran over, and picked up that half of the stone, "Emperor green! Even though it’s small, if it’s carved into a ring face, it could sell for tens or even hundreds of thousands!"

"Tens, hundreds of thousands! Wei, are you that good at choosing stones? You only spent three hundred yuan," Su Yumei had heard about Chen Wei’s talent in identifying jade, but she hadn’t expected his abilities to be so astonishing.

"Impossible! You two must be in cahoots to trick me. How could that stone with no features possibly yield emperor green!" Ding Yifan refused to accept the reality.

The emperor green was small, yet even if the jade Ding Yifan had found weighed tens of tons, it couldn’t compare to that single piece.

"Conspiring to trick you?" Chen Wei chuckled. "You’re giving yourself too much credit. Do I know you? You chose this rough stone stall yourself. How could I have conspired to deceive you? Or are you suggesting that I can predict the future?"

...

Ding Yifan was left speechless.

He knew the stall owner and had been selling rough stones here for three years. Chen Wei and Su Yumei were both new faces, arriving for the first time that day, and indeed it was impossible for them to have conspired to set him up.

"So you’re just lucky! This is technique, power! Luck might favor you once, but it can’t protect you forever!" Ding Yifan continued to be defiant.

The day was still young, and Chen Wei didn’t mind letting Ding Yifan’s face get a little more swollen.

He randomly picked up two rough stones from the stall and asked the vendor, "How much for these two?"

"A thousand for both." Honestly, the vendor thought the same as Ding Yifan, Chen Wei simply got lucky like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat.

Seeing him naively believe that the goddess of luck would still be on his side, the vendor felt that he had no reason not to earn the money that was being handed to him on a silver platter.

Even if he didn’t sell these stones to Chen Wei, he had planned to discard them somewhere today; he hadn’t sold many in half a year, and it was time to bring in new stock.

The vendor dared not even imagine that there could be emperor green among this pile of worthless stones.

"Alright, I’ve transferred the money to you, please cut them open for me."

"Okay." The vendor wanted to see Chen Wei’s unattractive face after losing the thousand yuan.

After all, Chen Wei had just caused him a loss of several hundred thousand, and the vendor felt it was only reasonable to want to see Chen Wei embarrass himself.

Zzzzzz...

The noise, as the first stone was cut open.

Zzzzzz...

The second stone was cut open as well.

"Give me one." The vendor and Ding Yifan each took one and broke it open.

"What!"

"This is too outrageous!"

Both their eyes widened in an instant. While it wasn’t emperor green, it was indeed jade, and of very high quality at that, worth tens of thousands each!

"No mistake, my luck is just that good, and if you can’t accept it, you’re welcome to sue me." Chen Wei took back the two stones from the vendor and Ding Yifan, packing them in a plastic bag.

In just this short while, he had made a clear profit of several hundred thousand.

"..." Ding Yifan had a bitter expression on his face and nothing to say.

"..." The vendor also had a bitter expression and was on the verge of tears. In just a few minutes, several hundred thousand had slipped through his fingers—how could he not cry?

The very thought was enough to cause heartache.

"Hold on! Where are you going?" Seeing Chen Wei and Su Yumei about to leave, Ding Yifan tried to stop them.

"What, can’t handle losing?" Chen Wei’s expression turned cold.

Such a terrifying look in his eyes!

Scared, Ding Yifan hurriedly took a step back, speaking with fear, "I admit, you do have some ability, but do you dare to compare yourself with my master?"

Ding Yifan wanted to regain face.

For a master to seek face on behalf of his disciple was only right and proper!

"Not interested, step aside, don’t force me to get tough."

"..." Faced with Chen Wei’s assertiveness, Ding Yifan gave in, unable to withstand the pressure, and stepped aside.

Only after reacting did he realize that Chen Wei and Su Yumei had already disappeared.

Behind him were the vendor’s continuous plaintive moans, "How could this be? Not a single piece of jade left, and that kid just happened to pick three pieces of the best quality jade. Does he have x-ray vision or something?"

Could this still be called luck?

Hearing the word "x-ray vision," Ding Yifan remembered the bold statements he had made earlier and felt as though he had been slapped in the face, the burning pain a stark reminder.
