The First Interstellar Energy Gambler

Chapter 56: Another Challenge

While these people were talking quietly to the side, Lin Luo made another cut on the jadeite so that everyone could clearly see the color of the jade inside.

“Oh my god… imperial, imperial green? Is it imperial green?” The imperial green is the green with the best color and the highest value among jadeite, giving people a sense of noble beauty. The elemental energy contained in this color of green jade is the most pure and abundant. It can be said to be the absolute best among green jade.

“That’s right! And the crystal structure is very good! I guess it is at least ice type!” Because the other side of the jade is still covered with a stone layer, it is impossible to see the full picture of the internal jade, and it is impossible to judge the degree of transparency, so the crowd can only make a rough estimate.

The crowd of onlookers sighed with envy, “This is definitely a big increase! Isn’t this luck too good?!”

“Hey, don’t you know? Don’t judge him by his youth, but he’s been very popular recently. He is a member of the Stone Gambling Association. From joining the Stone Gambling Association to now, he has been gambling up without fail and has never lost a challenge. Just recently he even helped his branch win the Seven-Stars Gambling Gathering on Siniya!” Someone has already recognized Lin Luo’s identity. After all, he just made a big splash on StarNet not long ago.

“Really? What’s his name?” Someone turned on their light brain in disbelief and planned to check his information on the official website of the Stone Gambling Association.

“His name is Lin Luo, spelled with double ‘wood’ and three strokes of ‘water’ each [1]. Go ahead and look him up. Oh, right, it will be the youngest one!” There is a huge empire with a population of tens of billions, and it is impossible to have only one stone gambler named Lin Luo. However among all of the Lin Luo, only this Lin Luo is the youngest and the best.

“Wow, really? His winning percentage is 100%?! How did this happen?”

“Good luck, coupled with good basic skills, the most important thing is… His debut time is too short, and he has only participated in a few stone gambling battles. Isn’t it normal to have a high winning rate?”

Just as people around were talking about it, Lin Luo’s imperial green jade was finally completely cut out.

Sure enough, as the previous person had guessed, the crystal structure of this jadeite gave it a high clarity, which was between glass type and ice type. It was not completely transparent, but it was higher than the ice type, so it would be categorized as a high ice type imperial green jade [2].

Although it was not a glass type, a high ice imperial green was already very rare, so it immediately attracted more people. Some people shouted, “Little brother! Is this jade for sale?!”

Lin Luo thought for a while, then nodded slightly. Although this jadeite looked very good, it didn’t make much sense for him to keep it. He was only interested in red, blue, and gold jade. Of course, If you bet on purple jade he would also need to keep it for Yin Ye. After all, Yin Ye has helped them a lot, and most of the funds for gambling on stones this time were borrowed from him.

“I am willing to pay 2 million!”

“2 million? Your brain is broken, right? This is a high ice imperial green jade! It should obviously start at 3 million, right?”

“That’s right! Are you here to pick up a bargain? You think too beautifully! Brother, I’ll pay 3.2 million!”

Although Lin Luo’s jadeite had a good crystal structure and excellent color, it was a bit small after all, so it couldn’t be sold at too high of a price. However, selling it for 3 or 4 million credits was unlikely to be a problem. If the competition got more intense, it may also have been possible to sell it for up to 5 million credits.

The price quickly reached all the way up to 3.8 million credits. At this moment, a somewhat familiar electronic voice came up and said, “I will pay 4 million credits.”

Lin Luo looked back, and it really was Andre again.

“4.1 million!”

“I will pay 4.5 million credits.” Andre’s bid has always been calm and fierce. He directly added 400,000 credits, without giving the other party any room for a price increase.

“Fu̲c̲k̲, you’re ruthless!” The previous bidder swore with foul language, and then turned and left.

Because there were so many people around, Lin Luo didn’t see who it was, so he didn’t care about it.

No one bid any more, and this piece of jade was naturally taken by Andre.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Lin, do you want to cut the rest of your jadeite?” Andre asked.

“Yes.”

“Then I will wait here.”

Lin Luo: “Well…”

Lin Luo glanced at the jadeite in the basket with some guilty conscience, the next piece to be solved is bound to collapse, I guess it will disappoint Andre…

Lin Luo shook his head slightly, picked up the second piece of jadeite, and set it up on the stone cutting machine. This piece of jadeite was taken at random by him afterwards for only 60,000 credits. Since this piece of jadeite was not on his list, it shows that this piece of jadeite was bound to collapse. Therefore, he drew a line in the middle of the jadeite very casually, and cut the jadeite directly with a single knife.

The last piece of brick jadeite contained the high ice imperial green jade, which made people full of expectations for this piece of jadeite. All of them were desperately moving forward, wanting to see what good things can be cut out of this piece of jadeite. It’s a pity, their expectations were destined to fail. The jadeite was cut in half, and only the gray-white stone layer was exposed.

“Collapsed…”

===========Translator’s Corner===========

[1] Lin Luo = 林洛 = “Lin (林)” made up of the character for “wood (木)” doubled and “Luo (洛)” contains the (氵) radical which is three strokes and stands for water and characters with this radical are usually related to water or liquid.

[2] At that clarity and color saturation you can nearly confuse a jade with an emerald at a glance:
