Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 828: Chapter 847: Human-Shaped Stone

Now, Lin Zifeng has actually become a treasure appraiser.

This left Lin Zifeng a bit helpless. He sold the piece of jade he had just cut out at a high price to a jewelry buyer and then led Silence and the others to continue walking into the club.

Just as Lin Zifeng expected, ever since he acquired the ability of foresight, it seemed as if everything had no flaws under his eyes, especially in gambling, where his skill was like adding wings to a tiger.

”Brother Lin, how did you figure out there was jade inside that rock just now?” Silence pondered for a long time but still couldn’t quite understand how Lin Zifeng detected the material inside that rock.

”Hehe, it’s a secret.” Lin Zifeng replied with a mysterious smile, wrapping one arm around Silence’s slender waist as they continued moving forward.

”Huh! Where’s Gao Yuan? Why don’t I see him?”

At this moment, Silence suddenly turned her head, only to realize that Gao Yuan had already disappeared.

He was still there when the stone was being cut, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone. This guy is really quick on his feet.

Lin Zifeng casually said, ”He left early.”

”When did he leave early?” Silence was puzzled.

Lin Zifeng replied, ”He quietly left while I was cutting the stone, probably already went in. We might see him later.”

”Brother Lin, does Gao Yuan know how to gamble with stones too?”

”I don’t know.” Lin Zifeng honestly answered, pursing his lips.

Silence frowned slightly and said coquettishly, ”Then why did you bring him? Don’t you know him?”

On the way here, that Gao Yuan kept calling Lin Zifeng his little bodyguard. Silence wouldn’t believe it if they didn’t know each other.

”I’ll explain it when I have time. It’s not something that can be explained right now. Let’s go. We’re lucky today. Let’s see if we can bet on more good stuff.”

Lin Zifeng smiled slightly, wrapped his arm around her slim waist, and walked straight into the trading club.

Feeling the man’s gentle big hand stroking her soft waist, Silence blushed, raised her rosy head, and fixed her enchanting eyes on Lin Zifeng for a moment, then sweetly followed him into the club—

The deeper they went, Lin Zifeng was surprised to find that many of the stones contained a large amount of green jade, though none of this jade was of particularly high quality.

Some stones, weighing several hundred kilograms, contained only a thumb-sized spot of green. Even if you bought them and cut them open, it might not be worth it.

People kept shouting in excitement when they cut out something good, while others felt disappointed after buying several hundred kilograms and finding nothing but scraps.

After all, gambling on stones carries certain risks. Not every stone has something inside.

”Brother Lin, have you found anything good?”

Silence inquired, as her discerning eyes seemed to have spotted a slightly different stone.

Lin Zifeng just shook his head, for although these stones looked nice, they had nothing inside.

Then, Lin Zifeng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His gaze was fixed on a large stone, and as he blinked his foresight ability, he saw a small cluster of green hidden inside the person-sized rock.

It looked very crystalline, and the quality was especially pure.

Much purer than the jade gems out of ordinary stones.

”Brother Lin, did you find a treasure?”

Silence also noticed that person-shaped stone, although its appearance was somewhat peculiar.

Her experience told her that buying that stone wouldn’t be worth it.

Silence, who had some research into gambling stones, could instantly tell that the stone had no value.

”Jingjing, do you think cutting that stone would be a loss?”

Lin Zifeng asked, his eyes gleaming.

”If Brother Lin likes it, then buy it.” Silence observed for a while and continued, ”But in terms of value, this stone isn’t worth it.”

”Not necessarily.”

Lin Zifeng squinted his eyes and gave a mysterious smile.

He led Silence slowly to the stall in front of the stone, carefully examining the person-shaped stone.

”Hey, buddy, are you interested in this stone? If you like it, go ahead and cut it. We can negotiate the price.”

The stall owner chuckled with a cigarette in his mouth. A crowd also gathered around to watch the fun, but no one wanted to buy it.

Originally, the stall owner was just joking around. Who would have thought Lin Zifeng, without a second thought, would directly ask for the price.

This caught the stall owner by surprise, as he laughed questioningly, ”Buddy, you’re not joking with me, are you? Do you really want to buy this stone?”

”Just tell me, how much is this stone per kilogram?” Lin Zifeng didn’t hesitate, for he saw what no one else could predict.

”Buddy, let’s be clear upfront. Everyone here playing with stones is honest, so don’t play me. This stone is the treasure of my stall. No one has asked for the price or dared to buy it. The most they do is come up and admire. I’ll offer it for six hundred yuan per kilogram, how about that?”

The stall owner was honest. A stone this big, and at a market minimum of six hundred yuan per kilogram, indeed not many would buy it.

Because stones shaped like humans are mostly made by unscrupulous stone sellers, unrelated to nature. Even if it’s natural, it doesn’t necessarily have good stuff inside.

”Alright!” Lin Zifeng hardly considered the price and directly requested the two stone-cutting men next to him to move the raw material to the cutting machine and cut it open on the spot.

”I say, buddy, aren’t you going to check what’s inside the raw material first? At least shine a light on it or knock it a few times.”

A man standing behind Lin Zifeng kindly stepped forward to remind him.

”Buddy, if you have money to spare, we have no objections, but you can’t just cut it so recklessly. Six hundred yuan per kilogram! This large raw material must weigh over a hundred pounds.”

”No problem, I know what I’m doing. Even if it’s six hundred yuan, it’s worth ten thousand.” Lin Zifeng confidently smiled.

His expression unchanged, he glanced down at Silence. The feeling of being looked down upon was truly uncomfortable.

Even those two snowy peaks in her bosom were glimpsed by someone.

”Jingjing, do you think it’s worth it?”

Lin Zifeng smiled as he asked.

”If Brother Lin says it’s worth it, then it’s definitely worth it. I trust you.”

Silence instantly blushed, because when Lin Zifeng lowered his head just now, his eyes focused on a certain snowy peak of hers, prompting a curt complaint from Silence about Brother Lin’s lecherousness—

She lightly pinched Lin Zifeng’s waist, causing him to hiss in pain, lamenting that women are heartless creatures!

”Alright! It’s a deal. Cash or card, buddy?”

The stall owner asked.

Lin Zifeng waved his hand and said, ”There’s no cash, but I can swipe a card.”

After all, the card was something he had just swiped from Gao Yuan—a good laugh, since it wasn’t his own, swipe away!
