Chapter 253: Chapter 248: The Male Lead with X-ray Vision

"Boss, I’ll take this stone." Ling Batian suddenly saw a stone with excellent water, the jade inside was dazzling green, and he couldn’t hide his excitement in his tone.

"Okay, customer, that will be 1.8 million in total. Would you like to pay with card or...?" the raw stone merchant asked politely.

"That expensive!" Ling Batian paused, he had spent quite a bit of money these days and was just a little short of 1.8 million.

"Can’t I pay on credit?" Ling Batian asked with reluctance.

The raw stone merchant’s expression faded: "I’m sorry, customer, but our policy is to exchange goods for payment upfront, no credit allowed."

"Then can you hold it for me, I’ll buy it in a while."

"I’m sorry, I can’t guarantee that either."

"You..." Ling Batian was unable to contain his anger. He had been too used to smooth sailing these days, when was he ever so frustrated?

"Customer, the stones over there are cheaper. If you are interested, you can go have a look there," the raw stone merchant suggested politely.

Ling Batian felt belittled and was in a very bad mood at the moment, but he didn’t have the means to retaliate. Grinding his teeth secretly, he swore to himself that once he had money, he would definitely buy the most expensive jade in this place.

"Batian, it’s okay, let’s go take a look over there. Maybe we’ll get lucky and find some nice jade," Zhao Xiaoman comforted him softly.

"Xiao Man, you are always good to me." Ling Batian looked at her with gratitude, then leaned in and kissed her.

I thought he was a big spender, turns out to be just a poser! The raw stone merchant thought disdainfully and then stopped paying attention to him.

"Boss, I’ll have this one." Since Ling Batian had already become an eyesore to him, Ye Qiu didn’t mind seizing the opportunity. Seeing how anxious Ling Batian was, there must be top-grade jade in this stone!

"Sure thing, Young Master Ye." Ye Qiu was somewhat of a celebrity in A City; he was known for indulging in all sorts of pleasures and being generous with his money. Even though he was new to stone gambling, the raw stone merchant had heard of him from friends and was therefore very attentive. This is a real VIP customer, not some poser.

"And this one, and that one too." Ye Qiu pointed at two other stones with unusual shapes, one like a gourd and the other like an ostrich egg.

Ye Qiu remembered that in his previous life, Ling Batian was ridiculed by some "professionals" when he bought these two stones. But when he ended up cutting top-grade jade from them, he thoroughly slapped those experts in the face.

The one shaped like a gourd contained Blue Jade, while the ostrich egg-shaped one turned out to be a rare red and green bicolor jade. Eventually, both pieces of jade sold for a sky-high price. However, the top-grade Ice King Green Jade that Ling Batian cut open was from another stone. Ye Qiu thought about it, and considering how agitated Ling Batian was earlier, could it possibly be the stone under his foot?

If that’s the case, then all three pieces of top-grade jade that made Ling Batian rich in his previous life are now in my possession?

The thought alone was incredibly exciting. To avoid complications, Ye Qiu promptly paid with his card and took the three stones back to his villa.

This is what a VIP customer looks like! The raw stone merchant watched Ye Qiu’s retreating figure and sighed. If only all his customers were as decisive as Young Master Ye, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to sell his stone.

Meanwhile, Ling Batian was using his X-ray vision to scrutinize each stone. The cheaper ones just can’t compare to the expensive ones. After quite a while, he barely saw a few stones with jade, and even those had poor water.

At this rate, was he really going to have to hit up several lottery shops to scrape enough money to buy back that stone? That was the valuable jade, with its rich, dense green color; how could it be compared with these inferior jades?

At this moment, Ling Batian still didn’t know that even if he managed to gather enough money, he would not be able to buy back that stone anymore.

"This one, and this one as well." Finally, after half an hour later, Ling Batian finally made his choice on the stones he was interested in.

"That will be fifty thousand in total. Would you like to pay with a card or cash?" the young assistant asked, as the stone merchant here wouldn’t personally talk to the customers.

"Card." Ling Batian said breezily, treating the Fifty thousand as peanuts; he didn’t take it seriously since he was confident the money would soon return to him.

"Excuse me, would you like us to cut the stone for you? It’s free for purchases over twenty thousand."

"Do it now." Ling Batian sounded rather urgent.

"Someone’s cutting the stone." Seeing the stone cutting machine turn on, the people still looking at the stones grew excited and gathered around.

"Cut here, and then make another cut here." Ling Batian knew exactly where the jade was and where it wasn’t, so he had drawn the lines himself. The stone cutter felt he was being rather erratic, but since it was someone else’s stone, it wasn’t his place to comment.

But the facts soon proved the stone cutter wrong. Ling Batian’s lines were precise, exposing the jade without damaging the ’meat’ inside.

"There’s green!"

"It looks like it’s glass species quality, its value has skyrocketed!"

"300,000!"

"350,000!"

"Young man, my final offer, 450,000."

The quality of this piece of jade was excellent, and the inclusions inside were lively, although it wasn’t very large, getting an offer of 450,000 showed genuine interest.

"Okay, 450,000 it is." Ling Batian immediately struck the deal, transferring the money to his account and handing over the piece to the buyer.

Zhao Xiaoman saw Ling Batian made a profit of four hundred thousand with just a flip of his hand, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she clung to his arm even tighter. Her decision was indeed right; Ling Batian was really on a lucky streak.

"Cut this part here." This time, the stone cutter didn’t doubt Ling Batian anymore. The way Ling Batian had managed the cut just now had completely won him over. Being able to accurately draw the cutting line, was this piece of jade that turned out green really something this young man bought casually? The stone cutter began to suspect that maybe they had a real expert in their presence today.

"Green again!" The crowd exclaimed, looking at Ling Batian with admiration.

"Another glass species, have they become this common now?"

"This one must weigh over twenty catties!"

"800,000!"

"900,000!"

"1.5 million!" The crowd gradually cleared, making way for a tall woman in a red dress, accompanied by two bodyguards, obviously wealthy and noble.

"Miss Lin, hello."

"Since Miss Lin is also interested in this piece of jade, I won’t compete."

"Kid, aren’t you going to thank Miss Lin? She has offered a high price for your jade." Someone nudged Ling Batian, who was still in a daze, reminding him.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Lin." Ling Batian extended his right hand politely to Miss Lin who simply smiled without the intention to shake hands. He wasn’t upset, beauties did have their privileges, and this Miss Lin was clearly no ordinary person.

He had never seen a woman with such an air of quality before! She really had character and her figure was also outstanding. Ling Batian assessed Miss Lin from head to toe, finding her completely different from his other two women.

Liu Zhilan is the innocent campus belle type, Chen Qing is the flirty mature woman type, and this Miss Lin is the ravishing and commanding beauty type, just unsure what she would be like in bed.
