Chapter 146 - Chapter 146: Opening the Crystal Stone

The boss took out the QR code and Li Yun quickly scanned it.

"Sir, could you have made a mistake? This stone costs 50,000 yuan, but... you've transferred me 5 million!"

The boss, upon seeing the notification on his phone, was stunned.

What was originally a 50,000 yuan deal had been turned into 5 million by Li Yun. Thinking it was an error, the boss tried to warn him.

Upon hearing this, Li Yun calmly responded, confirming that he hadn't made a mistake in transferring the money.

"Boss, I told you, I'd make you rich. This extra money is a gift for your honesty."

"Ah... Sir, this... this seems a bit inappropriate. I... I... why don't you recover it? I can return it."

The small merchant was so nervous he could barely speak. Receiving such an unexpected amount left him completely bewildered.

"If I said it's for you, it's yours. There's no reason for you to return it. If you don't feel comfortable, you could donate it."

"Thank you, thank you, Sir. Thank you, beautiful lady. I wish you both a life of happiness together, united forever."

Realizing that Li Yun had indeed gifted him this large sum, the merchant couldn't stop expressing his deep gratitude.

"Sir, would you like to cut this stone right now?"

With Li Yun's 5 million, the merchant became even more enthusiastic and proactive.

"Gambling on stones is for taking risks. Cut it!"

"Understood, I'll find the best cutting master to ensure you're satisfied."

The boss excitedly headed to a nearby shop and returned with an elderly man with white hair, accompanied by a large cutting machine.

The original stone from Li Yun didn't look good, but it was quite heavy, probably between 100 and 200 pounds.

The cutting master examined the stone and showed a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

Although he didn't know much about gambling with stones, after decades in the trade, he could tell that this stone didn't hold much promise.

However, his professionalism led him to refrain from making negative comments.

"Sir, how would you like to cut this stone?" the master asked Li Yun.

"Cut here, and then on these two sides. Then we'll see how it goes."

Although Li Yun didn't know how to gamble with stones or how to cut them, he had an advantage: his X-ray vision. Even the best stone gambler in the world would have to bow before him.

The master, without hesitation, began cutting according to Li Yun's instructions.

The hum of the machine filled the air, and soon the black surface of the stone began to disappear. In just ten minutes, the master had already finished one side.

"What... what am I seeing?"

"It's gone up! This is a huge increase!"

The master stared at the exposed surface, completely incredulous.

"It's glass-type jade!"

Excited, he rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things, but upon touching the surface, he confirmed his discovery.

What?

"Glass-type jade?"

The master's words caused a great commotion. The crowd quickly gathered to witness this rare moment.

Glass-type jade, along with imperial green, are the most valuable and coveted in the world of jade.

Moreover, their quantity is extremely limited.

Although some had seen glass-type jade before, few had witnessed how it was discovered.

"It's definitely glass-type jade! It's very rare."

"But we don't know if the other sides have material. If they do, at least several dozen pounds of glass-type jade, worth over a billion!"

"This luck is incredible, not even winning the lottery would be this lucky."

The crowd looked at Li Yun with envy and admiration, convinced that his luck was supernatural.

Gu Yanran also gazed at him with adoration. She hadn't expected that, besides being a great businessman, Li Yun was also a master in stone gambling.

"How many more skills does he have that I don't know?" Gu Yanran asked, completely surprised.

Li Yun, for his part, remained calm.

Everything happening had already been anticipated.

The merchant also rejoiced at the discovery of glass-type jade in his store. Not only because it came from his business, but because he firmly believed in the saying "good deeds are well rewarded."

"Sir, now that you've discovered such a valuable material, even if you sell it to keep gambling, you could get several million. Will you sell it or keep gambling?" the boss asked respectfully.

"I'll keep gambling. Open it all!"

Li Yun didn't even consider selling the jade.

With his current wealth and the divine system in his hands, he didn't need money, let alone sell something so precious.

"Alright, alright!"

"Master Luo, please be very careful. There can't be the slightest mistake. I'll reward you generously afterward."

The boss, fearful of any danger, warned the master cautiously.

"Rewards? For what? Discovering glass-type jade is enough to boast for a lifetime. In my decades of work, I've never found anything like this."

"As for being careful, don't worry. I'd cut myself before I damage this jade."

The master, aware of the jade's value, worked with absolute focus.

After opening the sides, the master decided not to continue cutting directly. Instead, he used a polishing technique to expose the jade slowly, avoiding any damage.

Although the polishing took more time, it was the safest method.

The master, with skillful hands but sweat on his brow, worked for over half an hour until finally the jade was fully exposed.

A piece of glass-type jade weighing 40 to 50 pounds lay before everyone.

The transparency and shine of that piece captivated even Gu Yanran.

It was beautiful!

The glass-type jade was simply stunning.

"Sir, would you be willing to sell this jade? I offer one billion."

"One billion? Are you kidding me? I offer two billion."

"Sir, I'm in charge of the Gold and Jade House in Jinling. We offer 2.3 billion for this piece."

Glass-type jade is so rare that both large stores and wealthy collectors were competing to acquire it.
