Wu Di suddenly remembered that although he didn't know if only the finest jade could replenish energy, at least the stones with jade should not consume energy, otherwise, the setting of the Heavenly Book would be too impractical. After all, how many fine pieces are there in the world? This means that in the future, he doesn't need to worry too much and can look at more windowed stones or even clear materials. If that doesn't work, he can go to the finished goods store to look at the treasures!
After figuring this out, his mood greatly improved. The fat man pointed to another stone and asked:
"This one is a bit confusing. The jade is good, but I feel uneasy. Is it because I haven't been resting well lately and am getting paranoid?"
Wu Di followed his finger and exclaimed, then took out a flashlight to examine it carefully.
There was a window the size of a thumbnail on the rough stone, revealing a lush green color, almost reaching the ice quality. Looking at the other parts, there were two areas of loose pine flower patterns. There was no python band, making it a stone with a high gambling risk. The gambler not only had to judge whether it was a skin green but also had to guess the size of the jade to determine its value.
Wu Di examined it again in detail, finding no significant features, and directly used his special ability. Inside the rough stone, it was all white, except for a piece of jade the size of an egg yolk at the window. Wu Di patted the stone and sighed:
"An expert, the person who opened the window is an expert! I can offer up to 20,000 yuan for this one, but I estimate you won't get it for less than 200,000 yuan. The gambling risk is too high."
The fat man placed the stone on the table and laughed:
"These past two days, watching you guys open stones made me forget what I do. I run a gambling stone store! I don't care if it collapses; as long as it shows some promise, someone will take it. I was wondering why I felt uneasy just now! Damn, even the fat man doesn't recognize the fat man!"
Wu Di also laughed. Yes, the fat man is different from them. As long as the stone shows promise, he can take it. If he doesn't open it, he can always resell it. If the price of this stone can be brought down, he can make a lot of money.
Next, the fat man didn't ask Wu Di for help and moved the few windowed rough stones he liked to one side, smiling contentedly:
"Lao Liu has some good stuff. I'll haggle hard and also improve the quality of my Stone City."
Wu Di touched each of the clear materials and then, under the fat man's curious gaze, went back to look at the covered stones, his speed increasing.
The 25th rough stone was another piece from the Mu Na mine, similar in size to the previous one, but with a crack, this time on the outside. Wu Di shone the flashlight on the crack, and a yellow-green light halo spread around the flashlight. Song Hongyan, who was examining the stone, called out:
"Wow, high-quality jade, and the water is good. Which mine is it from?"
"Mu Na, but you have to gamble on the crack."
"Pick it out, we'll talk about the price later. If it's too high, we won't take it."
Wu Di thought about it. He swept his little finger over the stone, and it was fine. The crack wasn't deep, only about two fingers in. The water quality reached the ice level, but the color on the intact part was poor, affecting its value. He thought for a moment and handed the stone to Song Hongyan:
"Take a look first. If you like it, you can gamble. I'm not sure."
Song Hongyan took it and examined it carefully, then smiled:
"It's this one. I'll go and check the price. You guys keep looking. I'm getting old and can't squat for long."
The fat man had also finished picking. He had five semi-gambling rough stones, one clear material, and one fully gambling stone. He was calling for Luo Quan to help move them. Wu Di quickly looked at the remaining stones, finding nothing particularly worth waiting for, so he casually picked up a small stone the size of a fist. It was his first time coming to such a place, and it wouldn't look good to leave empty-handed.
Zhong Qi, who had not gone down again after sending Chang Linlin up, saw that everyone had something and couldn't help but feel a bit envious. He pulled Wu Di to the corner and pointed to a stone he had seen earlier:
"Help me look at this one. I can't come back empty-handed, even Linlin picked up a goose egg!"
Wu Di glanced at the stone and asked:
"Are you looking at the appearance or the size? I'm telling you, there are a lot of people today, so you'll have to sit in the front with your stone."
As he spoke, he squatted down to examine the stone, becoming more and more shocked. This stone had such good appearance, why was it in this corner? It should have been in the basement!
He called Zhong Qi to help flip the stone, and the answer was revealed. The part of the stone on the ground had a large window, almost like a cut, but it was all white, with nothing inside.
Zhong Qi cursed his bad luck and walked back, while Wu Di laughed:
"What? Don't want it? Then I'll sit in the front with the stone?"
Wu Di had just used his透视 ability and saw that on the side of the stone that wasn't cut, there was a piece of ice-like material the size of a brick, with a dragon of bright green winding through the length of the brick. It could make several pairs of jade bracelets, worth over a million yuan.
Zhong Qi quickly turned back and said:
"Who said I don't want it? I was just testing you."
He then asked in a low voice:
"How much?"
Wu Di made a gesture with his fingers and whispered:
"Below 800,000 yuan!"
Zhong Qi opened his mouth, thinking the gesture meant 80,000 yuan! If he took it to the early market tomorrow, he could show off!
Lao Liu's prices were very high, and he was firm. Song Hongyan's Mu Na stone cost 500,000 yuan, leaving little profit, but the jade would come out early. Although there was a crack on the outside, it wouldn't damage the material inside, so there was no risk of loss.
The fat man ultimately decided to keep only the lavender clear material and a semi-gambling stone that Wu Di hadn't seen.
Zhong Qi's stone was cheaper, 100,000 yuan, which, considering its size, was like selling it as brick material. Wu Di's stone was even given to him for free. Wu Di smiled bitterly and put it away. He had already used his透视 ability and knew it was just a stone, but he couldn't just throw it away now.
The group left the backyard happily, preparing to leave. Xiao Li, who was helping the fat man carry a stone, suddenly called out:
"Lao Liu, you're so particular. When did you get a beauty stone and secretly put it at the back door?"
"You brat, what eyes do you have! It's rough material! It just looks like a lying beauty when my granddaughter came to play one day. I put it there."
Zhong Qi and Chang Linlin, who had already walked to the front yard, ran back. Seeing the stone leaning against the back door of the living room, they hesitated:
"It doesn't look like anything, just a long stone with bumps."
Xiao Li stepped aside and said:
"Zhong Ge, stand here and look. Does it look a bit like it?"
"You're right, it does! Lao Liu, how much for this stone?"
"100,000 yuan!"
"Damn, are you robbing me?"
He pulled Chang Linlin away, and Lao Liu laughed:
"If you take it to a strange stone store, it might be worth more than that!"
"You're fooling me!"
The voice came from the car. This guy had gotten familiar with Lao Liu after spending the whole day with him, speaking without any respect.
Wu Di moved closer to examine it. It was indeed rough material, just with a poor shape. Even if it had jade, it could only be used for pendants. Selling it as a strange stone might fetch a higher price. Just as he was about to stand up, he instinctively touched it with his left hand, and instantly a cool sensation rushed up his little finger. It was a glass-quality bright red jade with imperial green! Wu Di was stunned for a moment, remembering the lesson from Spring City, he used the action of standing up to hide his expression and smiled:
"Lao Liu, I'll give you the price of a strange stone, 30,000 yuan. What do you think?"
"No way, at least 50,000 yuan."
"Give me 50,000 yuan, and I'll find you two more?"
Wu Di turned to leave, and Lao Liu quickly called him back:
"Just kidding, just kidding, 30,000 yuan, you take it!"
Zhong Qi was indeed holding the stone in the front seat. Seeing Wu Di with a stone, he turned and laughed:
"What, Xiao Wu, are you in love? I'll find you a girlfriend one day!"
Chang Linlin hit Zhong Qi on the head, and he winced:
"Ouch, does it hurt? Is there a bump?"
"Ah, my bag, my bag, stop the car, there's a goose egg in it!"
Luo Quan got out of the car and handed the bag to Chang Linlin, smiling:
"Da Ge, your goose egg."
Song Hongyan had bought the Mu Na stone with a crack and was thinking about where to cut it. Hearing this, he laughed:
"Everyone else came to buy jade, but you two bought strange stones."
Chang Linlin happily took out the stone and laughed:
"Xiao Wu, let me hold your beauty stone. Help me look at this goose egg. If there's a yolk, hehe, I'll be the champion today!"
Wu Di took the goose egg and was amused. He hadn't examined it closely before, and it really did look like a goose egg, oval-shaped, with a gentle curve, one end larger than the other. The surface of the goose egg was not particularly smooth, covered with small pits, but the overall feel was better. There was no visible feature, and any features that might have been there were probably worn off.
"Is this a dinosaur egg fossil?"
There are always people with wild imaginations.
"You're right, if it were bigger, it would really look like one!"
Wu Di responded while using his透视 ability, hoping it wasn't really a fossil.
A cool sensation came, and Wu Di's mouth dropped open in shock. He then moved his jaw vigorously. Selling two pieces of glass-quality jade for a low price in one night, if Lao Liu found out, he wouldn't know whether to hang himself or take poison.
His little finger touched the goose egg, and a miniature planet composed entirely of seawater appeared before Wu Di's eyes. The surface of the planet was all seawater, rippling in the breeze, spreading to the endless distance...
Glass-quality ocean blue!
