On one side, Zhang Mo and Du Wanrou were having a lovey-dovey time, while on the other side, Pan Yi and his disciple were having a heated time.
In just a short while, they had already turned the pile of stones upside down, but there was still no intention.
About two hours had passed. Pan Yi and his disciple were already drenched in sweat, but Zhang Mo was not in a hurry at all. He told Du Wanrou about stone gambling while calling Xu Jin to bring him some water. It was a pleasant scene.
After a while, Pan Yi finally returned with a full load. However, he was holding four raw gemstones in his hands. The four raw gemstones were of different sizes. The largest one was the size of three fists, and the smallest one was only the size of half a palm.
"The rule is that you can only pick three pieces. Why did you take four?”Du Wanrou asked.
"Don't worry, when the stone is opened, I will naturally give you three pieces. How many pieces have you found?”
Zhang Mo spread his hands indifferently and pointed at the piece in Du Wanrou's hand.""That's the only one right now. If you're in a hurry, you can compete now.”
"You only have one piece. How can you compete? You want to use one yuan to pay for three yuan?”Pan Yi's face was full of suspicion. He obviously didn't believe that Zhang Mo would be so waterproof.
"Of course not, but you have to take out your three pieces first.”
"Sure." Pan Yi gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. Then, he carefully compared the stones in his hand and threw the smallest one out."Just these three pieces. It's your turn."
"No problem." Zhang Mo nodded in agreement and took the stone from Du Wanrou's hand. Then, he casually took a stone from the top of the pile of stones beside him. As for the last stone, Zhang Mo picked up the one that Pan Yi had just thrown away.
"Just these three."
"You! How could you pick what I picked!" Pan Yi pointed at the stone in Zhang Mo's hand and lost his composure.
Zhang Mo shrugged and asked Xu Jin,"Did the rules say that this is not allowed?”
Xu Jin shook his head.”
"That's good. Hurry up and open the stone. I still have to go home and make dinner.”Zhang Mo was too lazy to waste time. He took the three stones and walked towards the place where the stones were opened.
Pan Yi followed closely behind them. Behind them was the group of people who had just watched the show.
It had to be said that this group of people really had a good encounter today. First, they saw the opening of the stone. Now, there was also Pan Yi's bet. If word got out, it would be boastful for several years.
"You first, me first?" Zhang Mo asked,
"I'll go first." Pan Yi was filled with anger and was worried that there was no place to put it. He sat beside the machine, picked up the largest stone, and began to clean the windows.
Although Pan Yi was in his forties, his hands were still very steady. They were like two clips that held the raw stone in place.
The results of the window cleaning were soon out. The stone that Pan Yi had chosen did contain jade, and the jade was not small. Unfortunately, the quality was slightly inferior. It was probably at the threshold of B-grade goods, but such a large piece of stone would cost at least a hundred thousand yuan.
After the first battle, he wiped his sweat and stood up, signaling Zhang Mo to start.
Zhang Mo didn't decline. He took the stone that Du Wanrou had chosen and cut it open.
The stone was divided into four parts, and not a single jade could be seen in each part. There was no doubt that this stone had been lost. Seeing this result, Du Wanrou felt a little guilty and tugged at Zhang Mo's sleeve. The latter took the opportunity to hold her hand, indicating that she should not be agitated.
Others might not know what the results of this stone would be, but Zhang Mo did. However, he still chose Du Wanrou's stone. Naturally, he had other intentions.
A bet that was guaranteed to win was so boring. What was the best bet? It was to make the other party think that he had won and then reverse the situation.
Zhang Mo had long realized that Pan Yi was quite something. Among the four stones he brought, there were more or less jades. However, the one with the highest value happened to be the smallest one that he had lost. Zhang Mo roughly estimated that he would be able to defeat Pan Yi even with the smallest imperial jade.
If Pan Yi hadn't lost the smallest piece, Zhang Mo would have had a backup plan. He had long seen through the most valuable piece in the pile of stones. If he had picked another piece of similar value, he would have been able to defeat Pan Yi.
Today, he just wanted to kill that guy's spirit. He really dared to bully anyone.
Seeing that Zhang Mo's stone had been lost, Pan Yi's heart skipped a beat. He had seized the initiative.
As long as he could ensure that the next two pieces of jade could be produced normally, he would definitely win.
He took a deep breath, took out the smaller piece, and started cleaning the window seriously.
As time passed, Pan Yi's stone produced another piece of jade. This time, it was an A-grade product, but it was a little smaller and had some flaws in some places, so its value was roughly the same as the previous one.
"Let's not waste any more time. Let's open the remaining two together.”Just as Pan Yi was about to stand up, Zhang Mo suddenly said.
"You go first." Pan Yi said in a deep voice.
"Your hand is already shaking. I'm afraid you can't take the third stone. It's okay, I'll help you.”In this aspect, Zhang Mo had always prided himself on being a good young man who was willing to help others in the new era.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to it. If the jade is broken, I'll pay you the same price as if it's not broken.”Facing Pan Yi's suspicious gaze, Zhang Mo explained. He really didn't want to play these tricks. He just wanted to end it as soon as possible.
After getting Xu Jin's guarantee, Pan Yi agreed to let Zhang Mo start.
"We can finally settle this quickly." Zhang Mo stretched his back and walked to the machine with the three stones.
Pan Yi's last piece also had a piece of jade, but this piece of jade was much worse in quality. It was worth tens of thousands of yuan at most.
However, this was already a very impressive achievement. One had to know that there were tens of thousands of raw stones in this gambling den. If he picked out three of them and there was jade, it was enough to show his strength.
Seeing that victory was within his grasp, Pan Yi finally felt refreshed.
Zhang Mo didn't delay and immediately opened the next piece of jade. It was actually a piece of black jade. Although the quality was not bad, its size was too small. It was about 100,000 yuan. There was no way he could win this round.
However, he took out the third piece of jade unhurriedly, which was the one that Pan Yi had thrown away.
He raised his hand and slashed down, green light overflowing.
"Imperial Green!"
No one had expected that the last stone that Zhang Mo had obtained would be the second piece of Imperial Jade today. This time, the gambling den was completely in an uproar.
Pan Yi looked at the Emperor's Green that he had thrown away with an ashen face. He felt a surge of sadness and fainted.
Meanwhile, Zhang Mo held the imperial jade and said to Xu Jin,"I'll take this piece with me. I just happen to lack carving materials to practice with.”
At that moment, Xu Jin really had the urge to tear Zhang Mo's mouth apart. Who would use imperial green jade as the material for carving!
