“There are many factors when it comes to making a good decision in stone gambling. First, you need to know where the stones are produced. Usually, the stones that were mined from regular pits would yield high quality stones at a higher rate.”

“Then, you’ll need to look at the patterns of the stone’s surface. There are many types…”

Just as Tang Feng was secretly marveling at the sight before him, Song Lele was carefully explaining the thought process behind selecting a good stone.

Since she had participated in stone gambling once before, she was undoubtedly more knowledgeable than Tang Feng in this matter.

Tang Feng nodded.

Then, he casually picked three stones from the marked price counter.

It was as casual as buying cabbages in a market.

Song Lele broke out in anxious sweat upon spotting this. She cried out, “Young Master Feng, you shouldn’t choose stones so casually! You’ll definitely make a loss!”

“Stone gambling are a totally different ball game from scratching lottery tickets. Any random stone here would set you back by at least a hundred thousand yuan!”

“Any losses you incur here will definitely leave a huge blow!”

Tang Feng waved his hand nonchalantly. “We’re newbies to begin with. We’re just here for fun.”

“Compared to those professional stone gamblers, our experience is far from enough. We might as well just randomly pick some stones and try our luck.”

Song Lele was visibly speechless. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

“PFFT…”

At this moment, a sneer came from the side.

Tang Feng and Song Lele immediately turned to look at the source of the snicker.

What entered their eyes was a young man. He was dressed rather fashionably. His entire body was clearly dressed in branded clothes. One look and they could tell that he was not lacking in money.

“I’m sorry, brothers. I just couldn’t hold my laughter back after hearing what you two said.”

The young man also realized that he had lost his composure and apologized.

However, the demeaning glint at the corner of his eyes could not be hidden.

After taking one glance at him, Tang Feng nodded without saying anything.

To an outside observer, the way he had chosen his stones did indeed look rather thoughtless.

He looked like a simple-minded fool who was here to give his money away.

After paying, Tang Feng moved the three stones onto the stone-cutting platform.

The person who was cutting the stones was an old master. Upon spotting Tang Feng, he smiled and stated, “I don’t seem to recognize you, young man. Is this your first time here?”

Tang Feng smiled in return and answered, “Yes, master, you have a rather observant eye.”

Noticing that another stone-cutting event was about to begin, the customers wandering about the shop immediately gathered around.

The young man who had been laughing earlier moved closer to Song Lele and asked curiously, “Brother, this friend of yours is pretty crazy.”

“He bought three stones right off the bat. Could it be that he’s an expert?”

Song Lele explained casually, “This is my second time here. This is his first time.”

Song Lele’s voice was tinged with a hint of worry.

The young man was stunned by Song Lele’s words. “Huh, I didn’t expect this. Your friend is really bold.”

“Although those three stones aren’t anything special, they’ll probably add up to around 4—No, 5 hundred thousand yuan in cost!”

“It’s his first time playing and he’s already playing at such huge stakes. What kind of family does he belong to that would allow him to make such bold decisions?”

From the way he spoke, it was clear that the young man doubted that Tang Feng would win anything significant from his stones.

However, at this moment, the crowd of onlookers started to clamor.

“D*mn, it’s a hit! It’s a hit!”

“This ain’t too bad, to be honest.”

“You’re cutting the stone wide open? You really have nerves of steel, brother!”

…

The young man was instantly stunned. “No, this, this can’t be!”

Song Lele could not help but widen her eyes as well.

On the stone cutting platform, the old master in charge of cutting the stone raised his head and glanced at Tang Feng.

“Young man, you’ve most likely struck a win with this stone. Do you want me to fully cut it open?”

Tang Feng nodded. “Do it.”

The old master immediately made his move.

Once the stone was fully cut, and the debris was washed away by flowing water, its true form was revealed for all to see.

It was an ice jade!

It could be considered a medium quality jade, and its amount was moderate at best.

However, based on the system’s interpretation of its value, it was worth around 350 thousand yuan. At the very least, it had covered the capital that Tang Feng had expended on all three of his purchases.

In other words, even if Tang Feng were to strike a dud in the next two stones, he would not lose anything.

“Young man, are you selling this piece of jade? I’ll buy it from you for 300 thousand yuan.”

“300 thousand yuan? Old Liu, you really have no eye for treasure. I’ll give you 350 thousand yuan for it.”

“I’ll give you 380 thousand yuan. Both of you, stand back!”

“400 thousand!”

…

The stone shop did not consist of only the stone gambling players. Aside from them, there were also merchants who wished to procure raw jade.

These merchants had no desire to participate in the stone gambling process. They simply wanted to strike a deal while the iron was hot!

Tang Feng ignored these merchants and informed the stone cutting master, “Master, I’ll have to trouble you to cut open he remaining two pieces as well.”

“I’m feeling lucky today. Who knows, I might be able to get a win on those two stones as well.”

The old master did not say much. Upon calling over two of his apprentices, they immediately got to work.

The crowd quieted down upon this sight.

However, even though the shop had quietened down, the group of people glared at Tang Feng with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

A few of them were still whispering to each other, saying stuff like, “This young man think his luck will go on forever.”

“One look and you can tell that he hasn’t experienced the pain of loss within a gambling den.”

“One slice from the stonemasons could either elevate you to the heights of heaven or drag you to the pits of hell. Once he suffers a loss, I’m sure his attitude will finally simmer down.”

“…”

Tang Feng remained silent throughout all this. He simply devoted his full attention to the stonemasons’ movements.

After a while, as Tang Feng had expected, all the whispers stopped.

Taking their place was a long wave of silence due to shock.

“H-He won again?”

“Holy sh*t!”

“F*ck me, the luster of this piece is even better than the previous one!”

“What kind of luck does this young man have?!”
