The First Interstellar Energy Gambler

Chapter 28: Imperial Yellow

The young man sneered when he saw Lin Luo carrying such a large piece of ordinary jadeite. He lowered his head and continued to cut his jadeite.

Lin Luo didn’t pay attention to him either. His attention was all on the his own jadeite. The jade in it was more valuable than the man’s glutinous lush green.

It is very laborious to cut such a large jadeite, so Lin Luo simply cut the jadeite into four pieces first, then slowly cut it piece by piece. Anyway, he knew the location of the most valuable part already, so he made the cut very quickly.

It’s just that the cut surfaces are all stone layers, with neither fog nor color. Many people shook their heads on the side, thinking that this piece of jadeite would definitely go bust.

Lin Luo chose a piece from the cut jadeite, put it on the stone machine, and started cutting. Unsurprisingly, the cut part was still stone layer.

More and more people began to point at Lin Luo, thinking that he had spent 2 million to buy a useless broken stone, which was utterly stupid.

Even the shopkeeper Huang had some sweaty palms. He knows the personality of the child, XiaoYu. For his grandfather, the price of this piece of jadeite was not cheap. Although the little brother was kind enough to spend a lot of money, they bought this piece of jadeite for the price, you can’t just go around cheating others, right?

“Little brother, otherwise… can you take these pieces of jadeite apart and sell? If you continue to solve, I’m afraid it will collapse even more…” The owner Huang lowered his voice and said to Lin Luo.

At this time, the young man who was cutting the stone on the other side happened to cut a winner, and once again cast a contemptuous look at Lin Luo’s side.

Lin Luo’s heart moved, and he had an idea.

Everything has a breaking point, not to mention Lin Luo. He just looks soft on the outside, and is definitely not a character that can swallow his anger indefinitely.

He nodded slightly, and then asked towards the crowd of onlookers, “Is anyone willing to take over the remaining jadeite?”

After asking several times, no one spoke up.

Lin Luo looked at the young man again and asked in a polite tone, “This gentleman, I don’t know if you are interested in these jadeite pieces?”

The man looked at Lin Luo with a scathing look, “Do you think I am as stupid as you?”

“Okay.” Lin Luo deliberately said in a somewhat regretful tone, “I hope you don’t regret it later.”

“Insane!” The man scolded him disdainfully, and then went on to cut his own jadeite.

Lin Luo shrugged, returned to his own machine, and continued to cut the second piece of jadeite.

“Little villain.” Beside Lin Luo, Xing Mo said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

He was a little surprised at first why Lin Luo would suddenly agree to resell this piece of jadeite. When he saw him asking the young man, he had already guessed what bad idea he had. Xiao Luo is really cute.

Lin Luo’s face turned red all of a sudden, he whispered in defense, “Yes, he was too much…”

“Haha, yes, it’s all his fault.” Xing Mo laughed in a low voice.

Lin Luo’s face turned redder now.

The surroundings were full of noises made during stone cutting. The crowd of onlookers couldn’t hear the conversation between the two of them. They thought that Lin Luo’s face was flushed because he was irritated after being scolded by the man.

Lin Luo put the second piece of jadeite on the stone machine, but instead of directly cutting it with a chrome knife like the previous piece, he replaced it with a grinding wheel and started grinding it in little by little.

“Why is he using the grinding wheel suddenly? Why bother grinding it?” When the people around saw this, they became impatient.

“Little brother, do you know how to cut stone?”

Lin Luo turned a deaf ear to the discussion around him. The jade inside is a treasure, and he will feel distressed if it breaks even a bit. Why would he be willing to cut it with a chrome knife?

Because the jadeite is relatively large, it takes time to grind it. The boring process of grinding the stone made many people around leave impatiently, and turned to see the young man cutting and sanding the stone on the other side.

Coincidentally, the one being cut this time was exactly the glutinous green jade that he snatched from Lin Luo’s hands.

Because the matrix is relatively transparent, the man directly ground a small window with a sanding wheel from that place, and immediately saw the clear green inside.

“It’s increasing in value! It’s a winner!”

“It’s so bright green, the texture looks great!”

“A big increase! It should be a great win!”

At this moment, the people on Lin Luo’s side couldn’t stand anymore, and rushed in the direction of the man in a swarm, leaving only the owner of Huang and the boy named XiaoYu.

At this time, Lin Luo’s grinding wheel finally stopped. Shopkeeper Huang sighed in his heart, while unconsciously glancing in Lin Luo’s direction, then he was stunned

Xing Mo’s eyes also lit up, and immediately he splashed water on the window to wash away all the mud and sand that Lin Luo ground out. Finally, the window opened by Lin Luo was completely exposed.

“Ye-yellow, yellow…” The shopkeeper Huang couldn’t even say anything.

Xing Mo’s pupils also shrunk slightly. He has seen many good jades in the jadeite business, and of course the imperial yellow jade is among them.

The color of ordinary yellow jade is usually lighter. The common colors are goose yellow and duck yellow. The darker yellow jade is generally not pure, often brown. He has never seen such a perfect color.

The most important thing is that this piece of yellow jade’s texture is clear and pure, just like glass… it turns out to be a rare glass jade!

“Glass, glass! Imperial yellow! [1]” The owner of Huang couldn’t bear the excitement anymore, and yelled out, making Lin Luo startled.

[1] Likely the Imperial Yellow Glass Jade is an egg yolk like color and about as translucent as jade can be at that color saturation:
