The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 496 - 496 470 Accident

496: Chapter 470: Accident 496: Chapter 470: Accident “How…

how could it shatter?

Jade material shouldn’t be so fragile to cutting, could it?!

Or is it because of the hole drilled in the middle?!”

“River Stone!

It’s very likely just an ordinary River Stone!

Liu Hun’s actions could be considered cheating!

How can he substitute a River Stone like that?”

“I don’t think so; Liu Hun wouldn’t blatantly cheat!

I heard that the same thing happened in the last three-level gamble, and in the end, they cut out something good!”

“…”

“There must be something!

There must be something!

Look for it!

Look for it!” Ding Shan said, disregarding the dust and the scalding cutting machine, immediately using his hands to dig through the broken stones, beginning to search.

The reporters, audience, and experts on-site all craned their necks, eager to see what could be cut from this stone!

“Found it!

Found it!

Stone Jade!

Stone Jade!

Top-quality Stone Jade!” Ding Shan, covered in grey dust, dug out a jade stone the size of an egg from a pile of debris, and the whole piece of jade was evenly decreasing in color from the inside to the outside, and its shape was almost exactly like that of an egg.

“How…

how could Stone Jade come out?!” The Jade appraiser Expert Zhang rushed over excitedly, looking at the piece of jade in Ding Shan’s hand; he rubbed his eyes several times and still couldn’t believe it was real.

Guo Meiqian was also completely captivated by this piece of green jade, already scheming what move to use tonight to please He Yinghui well and then get her hands on this item!

“Anchor Guo!

Anchor Guo!

Hurry up and host!

Let Expert Zhang introduce it!” The director’s voice came through the earpiece, and only then did Guo Meiqian move her gaze away, smiling quickly and moving next to Expert Zhang to ask, “Please could Expert Zhang introduce this piece of jade to us.”

Expert Zhang excitedly took the egg-sized piece of jade from Ding Shan and said, “As the saying goes, ‘hidden jade in the stone,’ many people interpret it to mean that jade material can come out of the stone!

Actually, the ancient saying ‘Stone Jade’ refers to precisely this kind of jade.

Look!

The color of this jade decreases from the outside to the inside.

The outside alone is not worth much, just the price of the stone, but the inside is very valuable.

It’s wrapped layer by layer just like an egg white wraps around a yolk, and the shape is exactly the same, so!

This stone is priceless!”

“May I ask Expert Zhang for an appraisal price for this piece of jade?” Guo Meiqian asked Expert Zhang.

After all, a comparison was to follow.

“A conservative estimate of two hundred million!” Expert Zhang gave a conservative price.

“Wow!”

Everyone at the venue exclaimed in surprise, not expecting the first stone to reveal a sky-high price of two hundred million!

“Unbelievable!

Incredible!

These stone gamblers really can strike it rich with a single cut!

With one cut, they can reveal two hundred million!”

“Liu Hun is playing too big this time, daring to reveal a two-hundred-million item in a gamble!

If he loses, he’d just be giving it away!”

“It looks like Liu Hun is set to lose this round!

The stone chosen by Ding Shan revealed a sky-high price of two hundred million right off the bat!

The remaining two stones are unlikely to reveal anything that exceeds two hundred million!”

“…”

Reporters began to buzz about the astonishing high-stakes gamble.

“Thank you, Mr.

Liu, for bestowing a treasure!

I, Ding Shan, will not refuse and accept it!” Ding Shan said smiling radiantly to Liu Hun.

“I’m afraid you can’t take it with you, Manager Ding!” Liu Hun said, pointing at the remaining two uncut stones.

Ding Shan knew the rules; if either of the remaining two stones revealed something worth over two hundred million, he would lose, but he didn’t believe it, “Cut!

Cut it now!

I truly don’t believe that everything you, Liu Hun, bring out is a rare treasure!”

“Then let me personally let Manager Ding see for himself!” Liu Hun said, walking over to the second stone he had brought out, placing the stone on the cutting machine, “Cut!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re about to start cutting the second stone now!

If this stone reveals something better, then Jincheng Company will lose, but if not!

We will cut the next one!

Let’s look forward to it!” Guo Meiqian quickly hosted the show, feeling she had been completely drawn into the competition and had forgotten she was a host!

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…” The excruciating noise filled the studio once again, but no one found it unpleasant; everyone felt it was the call of a treasure, and Expert Zhang didn’t even go back to his seat but joined Ding Shan, even more focused and serious than Ding Shan, the participant.

“Crack!” With one sound, the stone cutter, following Liu Hun’s instructions, cut directly through the middle, and just as he reached the drilled hole in the center, the whole stone shattered!

“There’s nothing!

There must be nothing!

There absolutely cannot be anything!” Ding Shan mumbled to himself, leaning over to dig.

Expert Zhang wanted to do the same thing, but lacking Ding Shan’s agility, could only wait eagerly for Ding Shan to turn up something good.

Suddenly!

Ding Shan’s excited body froze up, and now Expert Zhang behind him asked eagerly, “Mr.

Ding, did you find some extraordinary stone?”

After a long while, suddenly!

“Hahahaha…” Ding Shan burst into laughter, standing straight up with a dusty, dark object in his hand, saying, “Just a worthless Black Skin!”

Hearing this, Expert Zhang’s spirits instantly plummeted from the heavens to the bottom of the valley, knowing it was just a Black Skin that had been revealed; he had no more interest in the Black Skin that Ding Shan handed over.

“Hehe!

Liu Hun!

These natural things are not for people to decide!

Do you understand?

Don’t act like you can see through everything.

You’ve got a lot to learn, follow my lead!

I’ll teach you!” Ding Shan said in a superior tone to Liu Hun.

Liu Hun didn’t say a word, he merely propped his chin and gestured with his hand for Ding Shan to look behind.

Ding Shan glanced back and said, “Hmph!

Liu Hun!

You’re still hoping that Expert Zhang will turn the tide for you, but I really don’t believe he can turn white into black, let alone raise the price of Black Skin to two billion!”

“No, no, no!

More than that!

More than two billion!” Expert Zhang, who had been as still as if he were in meditation, suddenly yelled out as if he were coming back from the dead.

“Guo the host!

Move aside!

Get a close-up!

A close-up!

Capture the expressions!

Capture the expressions!

Ding Shan’s face!

Don’t focus on Liu Hun’s paralyzed face!

Catch the contrast in Ding Shan’s expression!” The director excitedly commanded the various departments, knowing what the audience liked to see.

“Zhang…

Expert Zhang, don’t let your vision be clouded, what else could it be if not Black Skin?” Ding Shan’s face flashed with panic before he forced himself to calm down and said to Expert Zhang.

Expert Zhang, unbothered, kept wiping the stone with his sleeve for quite a while before finally lifting it up and announcing to everyone, “This type of jade is known as Black Jade!”

“Even if it’s Black Jade, it can’t be worth two billion!” Ding Shan said on the side, utterly refusing to admit in his heart that it was good stuff!

“Wait until I’ve finished speaking!” Expert Zhang said curtly to Ding Shan, who could only awkwardly shut his mouth in front of the camera.

“Ordinary Black Jade isn’t valuable, but we must distinguish between good and bad, and this piece of Black Jade in my hand is the good stuff!

Top grade Black Jade!

The best of the best!

And what do we call it?

The history books record that this extremely rare, once-in-a-thousand-years jade is called Ink Marrow Jade!

It is the essence of Black Jade, a supreme quality that is incredibly rare and worth its weight in gold!” After finishing his exciting speech, Expert Zhang carefully wiped the stone a few more times as if it were his treasure.

“Since it’s so precious, then what would the market price for this piece of jade be?” Guo Meiqian asked Expert Zhang, now interested in the piece as well.

“A conservative estimate would be five billion.

If this were mine, I wouldn’t sell it for even ten billion!” Expert Zhang voiced his professional opinion with conviction.

“Wow!

My goodness!

This lump of darkness is actually that expensive, and it’s a rare top-tier find that only comes along once in a thousand years!

Is this for real?!

All I see here is a lump of coal!”

“That’s why you’re a reporter and someone else is the expert!

The identification experts from the Forbidden City Museum rely on this for their livelihood!

Truly astonishing!

Just two stones have reached the value of seven billion!

And that’s a conservative estimate!

The third stone has yet to be cut open!”

“Whether the third stone is cut open or not doesn’t really matter now!

Ding Shan has lost, a misjudgment indeed!

But Liu Hun truly is something else!

His move has left everyone in shock!”

“…”

The discussion among the on-site reporters reflected everyone’s thoughts, and Ding Shan’s joy instantly evaporated.

“May I ask the two of you, do we need to cut open the third stone?” Guo Meiqian asked Liu Hun and Ding Shan, clearly eager to see what was hidden inside the third stone.

“No need!

Cut the stone Liu Hun selected!

We misjudged, but that doesn’t guarantee Liu Hun will win!” Ding Shan magnanimously waved his hand, directly requesting they cut the stone Liu Hun had chosen.

Since he had already lost, he did not want Liu Hun to be content for long and immediately asked for Liu Hun’s stone to be cut.

“I have no objections.

Let’s proceed with Mr.

Ding’s suggestion,” Liu Hun told Guo Meiqian.

Guo Meiqian turned to the camera with a slight smile and said, “It seems both parties are eager to determine the outcome, and I’m sure my audience friends feel the same, wanting to know the final answer.

Let’s witness this together!”

After Guo Meiqian finished speaking, the staff immediately placed the jade rough that Liu Hun had selected onto the stone cutting machine.

Ding Shan gave Liu Hun a cold sideways glance and then said, “Go ahead, cut it!”

The cutter saw the exposed ‘sky’ in the rock and, to avoid damaging the jade, began cutting from the other side.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…” The sound of metal cutting stone once again filled the air, and with the previous surprise, everyone present was filled with expectation for this stone.

“Crack!” A piece of stone was cut off—gray and white!

“Ha ha ha…” Ding Shan immediately laughed, well aware of the quality of the stone he had arranged.

He mockingly asked Liu Hun, “How about it, Mr.

Liu?

Shall we continue cutting or not?”

“Of course, keep cutting!” Liu Hun replied succinctly.

“Can’t shed a tear without seeing the coffin!

I’ll oblige you, continue cutting!” Ding Shan told the cutter.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…

crack!” Another slice was cut off, and a large piece of the jade rough was removed…

“Look!

Look!

Is there?

Is there?!

Oh!

Still nothing there!

What to do, what to do, Mr.

Liu!” Ding Shan mockingly asked Liu Hun, displaying a highly provocative demeanor.

“Cut one more slice!” Liu Hun directly instructed the cutter.

“Oh!

The atmosphere on the scene is becoming very tense!

Will this next cut reveal anything?” Guo Meiqian took the opportunity to stir the atmosphere.

The cutter made another deep cut, this time almost reaching the ‘sky’ of the rock.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…

squee, squee, squee…” The cutter suddenly stopped moving, as if it was stuck on something.

“What’s going on?!” Ding Shan asked the cutter, puzzled.
