Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Listen to advice and have a full meal!



This was extremely rare, truly a treasure that could be passed down through generations!

No sooner had Song Yun placed his hand on the stone than a voice came from beside him, "Good day, sir. May I ask if you are interested in gambling on stones?"

The voice belonged to one of the gambling stone experts in the club, whose job was to guide patrons in finding stones of good quality and then sell them. As a reward, 20 percent of the purchase price of the stones would become their commission.

In this club, not all the wealthy patrons were longtime enthusiasts of jade and stones; many of them had only a superficial understanding and came to play just for the thrill, so these experts were highly sought-after.

"Is there something you need?"

Song Yun asked slowly.

"Hehe, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gu Zhonglun, a five-star gambling stone expert at this establishment. I see you are new here; is this your first visit?"

Although the news of Master Gong\'s stone carving had spread throughout the club, only the well-established wealthy had gone to witness it. The staff, like him, could only stand in their assigned spots, itching with curiosity and imagining the scene of the stone being unveiled.

"Sir, as someone who has been operating in the urban circles for decades, I must say that I am not optimistic about the stone you have chosen. You see, the python band and the cracks go deep inside, indicating that even if there are treasures in the stone, their quality won\'t be good..."

Gu Zhonglun proceeded to boast about his knowledge of stone gambling and share some of his expertise right in front of Song Yun.

Experts like him loved to deceive novices like Song Yun; they were easy to fool and never haggled, so even a single deal would earn him at least tens of thousands.

But just as Gu Zhonglun was about to take the next step after spouting off until he was parched and tongued-tied, Song Yun interrupted him, "I\'m sorry, but I don\'t need anyone\'s help. If you have free time, perhaps you could find someone else?"

Gu Zhonglun immediately felt awkward, "Sir, we come here for fun, don\'t we? If you carve out a fine piece of jade, you will certainly make a name for yourself in front of everyone. So, I sincerely advise you to hire me for a short time, and let me pick the most suitable raw stone for you!"

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I really do not need it; I like the look of this stone and want to open it up," Song Yun said with a smile, politely declining.

He then turned to a waiting attendant, "Hello, can you please get me a pen? I want to draw lines for stone cutting."

The attendant, holding out the silver card Song Yun passed to him, finalized the payment and then arranged for the stone carving to begin.

"Alas, sir, the stone you have bought is not cheap, but its quality is really quite ordinary. I really don\'t know what else to say to you. I hope you take care," Gu Zhonglun sighed and shook his head as he started looking for the next customer in the crowd.

Reaching the stone cutting area and due to the shock that Master Gong had recently brought to those wealthy patrons, they were either picking out a high-quality raw stone in the stone hall or discussing the recent event in other leisure areas

Consequently, the stone cutting area was not crowded at the moment.

The attendant instructed several people to laboriously move the several-hundred-kilogram stone onto the carving machine and, following the markings Song Yun had made, began to operate with utmost care.

As the jade inside the raw stone was not small in size, Song Yun chose the simplest yet most time-consuming method of light abrasion.

After more than ten minutes, the attendant had only completed half of the one-sided work.

It was at this moment that Gu Zhonglun arrived with a middle-aged man who appeared very successful, accompanied by a very young-looking girl who seemed no more than twenty years old.

"Hehe, sir, we meet again," Gu Zhonglun stood before Song Yun, looking very smug. You didn\'t need me, right? But look at the new patron I found—he obediently bought the raw stone I recommended. Now, I really want to see how this young man cries!

"You, come over and help this gentleman with the stone cutting," Gu Zhonglun casually gestured to an attendant.

Suddenly, two machines emitted a piercing sound.

This commotion drew the sidelong glances of many, who after crowding around, realized it was that ignorant young man who had dared to refuse Old Gong, now gambling on stones.

So everyone watched with the thought of seeing Song Yun take a loss, openly mocking him.

Another ten minutes passed, and one side of the stone Song Yun was working on had begun to show traces of green.

"We\'ve got a hit! It\'s a Positive Green material! It\'s going up!"

The waiter shouted excitedly, as he would also receive a part of the bonus if that stone increased in value.

"This lad doesn\'t seem like a fool, he\'s got some skills!"

"Positive Green! Just one step away from Imperial Green! The kid\'s luck is too good!"

"If this trend goes deeper, it could probably fetch a good price!"

Everyone\'s voices came through, causing Gu Zhonglun\'s face to instantly contort with embarrassment – this was a slap in the face!

"Continue with the two sides I marked."

Song Yun wasn\'t pleased by the noise from the crowd; he had known all along what kind of jade was in this stone, so what he needed now was to fully reveal it.

"Young man! It has already gone up! No need to cut further!"

"Yeah, yeah, you might as well sell it to me! I\'m willing to pay a high price of 8 million to buy it!"

"Listen to my advice, young man. There are many gamblers on stones who don\'t believe in bad luck and insist on cutting the whole thing, only to end up losing even their underwear. Take it as a warning!"

"My mother-in-law has a birthday coming up and I\'ve been worried about not having a gift. I\'m willing to pay 10 million! Please, young brother, do me the favor!"

Song Yun bowed to the crowd and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, no matter the outcome, I want to finish cutting this stone, so please stop trying to convince me!"

With a wave of his hand, the waiter, lips bitten and reluctant, continued to grind.

What if the other two sides ended up reducing the value, all his potential bonus would be for naught!

He wanted to join the wealthy individuals in admonishing Song Yun, but as a mere employee, it wasn\'t his place to speak.

Seeing Song Yun determined to go his own way, everyone sighed, feeling the youth nowadays just don\'t understand the principle of heeding advice and satisfying hunger, and should he lose, he would have himself to blame.

As Song Yun\'s stone required more time, everyone shifted their attention to the raw stone that Gu Zhonglun had selected for his employer.

Under the gaze of these wealthy individuals, Gu Zhonglun felt immense pressure. If he could choose a stone with jade inside, his reputation would be saved, and he might even close a few more deals afterwards, but if not...

He didn\'t dare to contemplate it.

Gu Zhonglun prayed fervently in his heart that it absolutely had to produce, even if it was just average – it simply had to!

"Screech!"

The machine on Gu Zhonglun\'s side stopped, and with slightly trembling hands, he split the raw stone into two...

Green, green, green!

It was there!

As it was slowly opened, a hint of green emerged. While it couldn\'t compare with the Positive Green on Song Yun\'s side, it managed to reach the slightly lower level of Apple Green!
