C18 Jadeite Ore

"You are Li Xinyu?" Although Ye Tao didn't go to the school forum often, his roommates were all very gossipy, especially the third brother, Sun Xiaoping. Ye Tao didn't go to the school forum often, but his roommates were very gossipy, especially the third brother, Sun Xiaoping.

"Senior knows me?" Li Xinyu said excitedly. She clearly didn't know how famous she was in school.

Ye Tao rubbed his nose, thinking to himself, Who doesn't know the names of the school beauties? Not to mention others, at least 80% of the boys could memorize their interests and surroundings. Some of them could even draw portraits of them with their eyes closed.

"Yes."

"That's great, senior was so cool when he was fighting today." Li Xinyu's eyes were filled with tiny stars. She looked to be without hearts, and there was no fear of being insulted like before.

"Eh …" Ye Tao didn't expect that the freshmen school belle would have the tendencies of a delinquent, mm … To be exact, it was a tendency towards violence. Shouldn't normal girls now look like they had lost their minds and lost all color? Why was she still eager to give it a try? Ye Tao let out a long sigh, and the image of a pure and cute junior instantly crumbled.

Li Xinyu was like a curious baby. She kept asking questions along the way. Ye Tao's head was about to burst from her questions. Luckily, this place wasn't far from the school. Once they reached the school, Ye Tao immediately fled.

The pitiful Howling Celestial Dog had once again captured Li Xinyu's heart, so it couldn't escape the consequences of being ravaged. Ye Tao thought to himself, if they found out that this adorable Maltese was the legendary Howling Celestial Dog, would they still be so bold?

After returning to his dorm room, Ye Tao checked his bank account balance. After two days of nonstop part-time work, his bank account balance had successfully risen from double digits to ten thousand yuan. Right now, he was thinking about what kind of gift he should give to Zhao Wenxi for his birthday.

Girls all loved beauty. He originally wanted to give her the Face Preserving Pill, but it was too shocking to take it out in public, so he could only give it to her in private when he had time.

Other than the Face Preserving Pill, there was another option: jewelry. However, it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it right now. He also had to show his feelings, which was a bit more difficult.

Did he have to go to a part-time job? Ye Tao thought for a moment and shook his head. The biggest benefit of being a part-time worker was that he could get all kinds of treasures and inheritances. As for the cash he earned, it could be said to be negligible.

At this time, the eldest, Chu Xiongfeng, had returned to his room. In his hands was a strange rock the size of a basketball, and he was sweating profusely. When he saw that Ye Tao was also in the dorm, he wiped his forehead and said, "Fourth Bro, you're here too. Come and help me take a look."

"What is this?" He did not know what Chu Xifeng was going crazy for, but for some reason, he carried a rock with him and came back.

"This is good stuff, I specifically got an expert to help me pick it out. This jade is growing inside this rock, my family's old man is going to have his birthday, he definitely likes this thing." Chu Xifeng said with a face full of pride.

Ye Tao knew that Chu Xifeng's family background was not ordinary, since it was his family's old man's birthday, then the value of this stone was not small. He curiously walked up and saw that the stone's greyish white skin were uneven, and it could be said that its appearance was very bad.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Tao touched it and suddenly thought of a word, "This is the Jadeite Ore Stone?" Ye Tao blurted out.

"That's right, I've specially invited a few experts to take a look. They all said that this stone has a high chance of producing top-grade jadeite." When he heard Chu Xiongfeng speaking like an expert, he knew that he knew nothing about this.

Ye Tao had seen gambling on TV. When the jade was being excavated, it was wrapped in a layer of weathered skin, and it was impossible to tell whether it was good or bad. The quality of the jade could only be known after cutting it.

Because the current technology could not penetrate its skin to know the quality of the emerald, there was a huge gambling nature in this industry. If it was cut down by one knife, one could become rich overnight, or they could go bankrupt.

Since the technological instruments couldn't penetrate it, Ye Tao wanted to see if his Heaven's Eyes could see through the surface of the jadeite. He operated his cultivation technique and looked at the jadeite ore, only to find that there was no trace of the jadeite inside.

He thought he had seen it wrongly, so after a closer look, he still did not find anything. He was sure that his Heaven's Eyes could pierce through the surface of this rock, so there was only one possibility left, and that was that the rock was a piece of trash.

"There's nothing inside this stone." Ye Tao thought about it and decided to remind Chu Xifeng, lest he make a fool of himself by carrying this rock with him.

"How do you know?" Chu Xianfeng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "It's not like you've never played gambling before. I've invited a few experts to watch, there's no mistake."

"Is there a mistake? "Just cut it open and take a look." Ye Tao said indifferently.

After hearing what Ye Tao said, Chu Xifeng was a little uncertain. If it really was just a piece of trash, then he would become the laughingstock of the family.

"Alright, then let's go cut it open and take a look." Chu Xiongfeng was an impatient person. He picked up a rock and pulled Ye Tao back along the same path.

On the way, Ye Tao asked Chu Xifeng, "How much did you buy this stone?"

"Two hundred thousand."

Ye Tao was speechless. The lives of rich people were really different. He had worked so hard just to earn more than 10,000 yuan and he already felt like he had suddenly gotten rich. He could buy a stone at will for 200,000 yuan.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the Emerald Market in the southern suburbs. They heard that this was the largest Emerald Prairie trading market in S Province. It was said that all the shops here sold jadeite ores on the street and some uncut jadeite ores were piled up in the backyard.

Chu Xiong Feng brought Ye Tao to a shop called "Stone Shop" and the two of them did not stop there. They went straight to the backyard and a skinny man in Tang suit welcomed them from afar, "Yo, young master Chu, didn't you just leave? Why are you back? "

"Boss Wang, I came back to cut open this rock to take a look." Chu Xiongfeng pointed at the stone in his arms and said. He was indeed a bit embarrassed to come back after walking away, but for the sake of peace of mind, he could only do this.

"Alright, you've already bought it. It's not up to you to say anything." Boss Wang enthusiastically agreed. Then he called out, "Master Li, you're here."

Boss Wang put the stone under the stone cleaning machine. The person called Master Li knew that Chu Xiongfeng was a big customer so he was very careful. He carefully drew a few lines on the stone and then used the stone cleaning machine to cut down.

Chu Xiongfeng held his breath as he stared at Master Li's hand. Unfortunately, Master Li didn't even see a hint of green when he cut down about four to five centimeters. Master Li was also a bit nervous, he changed to another line and continued cutting, but he didn't see any sign of green.

When he cut the entire piece of wool in half, he only saw a bit of white, fog-like crystal at the center. "Ai …" Master Li sighed. He knew that this piece of wool was worth a lot, but he didn't expect there to be nothing inside.

Chu Xiongfeng's expression was very ugly, it wasn't that he was worried about his 200k being wasted, he was a little scared. If not for Ye Tao's reminder, he might have foolishly given this piece of waste to the old man as a birthday present, and then he would have really become a laughing stock.

Ye Tao patted Chu Xifeng on the shoulder and comforted him, "Boss, it's fine, we only play with one word, it's normal that we win or lose."

"Brother, you're right. I still have a lot of good half gambling materials. Do you want to take a look?" Boss Wang also agreed. He had already gotten used to this sort of situation.

As for the half wager, it meant that the ore had already opened a window, so if there was a green stone, the risk would be reduced by a lot. Of course, the price would also go up by a lot.

Chu Xifeng shook his head and wanted to refuse. He had already suffered a blow today and was no longer in the mood to continue gambling. However, Ye Tao said, "Alright, let's take a look first."

"Okay, you guys take a look first. Pick me when you're done." Boss Wang's eyes lit up. Without further ado, he left the store, leaving Ye Tao and Chu Xifeng to choose among themselves.

"What is it? Fourth Bro, do you want to play too? " Chu Xifeng's eyebrows twitched, "You saw it earlier, the risk of gambling is very high, 200,000 is all you can say."

"Yeah, I've recently made some small money, so I want to try my luck at this one." He had the cheat known as the Heaven's Eye, so his words to bet on the stone had always been successful. If he did not make good use of it, it would be a waste.

Chu Xianfeng knew Ye Tao's family background, so he wasn't very supportive of participating in the stone gambling. However, since Ye Tao insisted on playing, since he spent his own money, he didn't say much.

Seeing Chu Xifeng's expression, because he knew what he was thinking, he said, "Don't worry, I will know what I'm doing. Don't you want to pick another rock for your old man?"

After Chu Xianfeng heard his words, he relaxed. He knew that Ye Tao had his own way of doing things and would not rashly do random things.

When he heard the latter half of Ye Tao's words, his heart was moved. Today, Ye Tao could tell that his stone was trash with just a glance. Maybe he really had some tricks up his sleeve.

Thinking of this, he started to walk around the yard with Ye Tao. Other than on TV, Ye Tao had never been involved in gambling. Because Chu Qiafei had chosen a birthday present for the old man, he had done his homework in this area. Thus, he was given the role of Ye Tao's teacher.
