"That might not be the case. I've always had the best luck."

Qin Yang shook his head and laughed. Later, he might unravel a big win again. What kind of expression would the currently smug little cool girl have then?

"Hmph, in the face of absolute strength, even the best luck has to give way."

Ling Xiaoyu snorted. She was a gemstone gambling expert, confident she wouldn't lose to Qin Yang, the novice.

"Another big win, huh. How did I miss it just now?"

Among the crowd, Bai Desheng's face had calmed down. Though losing two million was bearable for him, seeing Ling Xiaoyu unravel yet another big win filled him with envy, jealousy, and hate, turning his sorrow over losing the glass-grade jadeite into annoyance.

"I should also buy a few stones and try my luck later."

Miao Youfeng felt a bit tempted. The glass-grade jadeite Qin Yang unraveled earlier was undoubtedly high quality, and now the water-grade apple green wasn't bad either. Two consecutive high-grade stones really evoked some envy, jealousy, and hate.

Qin Yang placed the yellow sand-skin stone he had chosen onto the cutting table, traced a white line along a very obvious crack on the surface.

Seeing Qin Yang about to cut the stone again, the spectators focused their gazes on the cutting machine.

"With such poor surface quality, this young man's luck might be running out."

Someone in the crowd suddenly frowned and commented.

"This should be from the Situoka Mine, maybe it'll yield some bean-grade jadeite..."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses said.

"I'm skeptical about even bean-grade. Given so many cracks and coarse sand, I'd say getting dry green-grade would be fortunate enough..."

"..."

"Getting dry green-grade? Even getting dry white-grade seems tough."

Yang Buqun's lips curled with disdain. The stone Qin Yang selected was large, but the surface quality was truly poor. Without even looking closely, one could see multiple obvious cracks.

The spectators' discussions went unheard by Qin Yang. He put on safety goggles and turned on the cutting machine power.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

The cutting wheel quickly spun again, slicing through the traced white line and into the rough stone.

Despite the lubrication from running water, due to poor surface structure, stone chips still scattered.

The cutting wheel sank to the bottom before rising again.

"It's cut."

With a sound, the yellow sand-skin rough stone split in two.

The crowd collectively raised their eyes to see dry, rough yellow-brown on both sides of the smooth cut, with no trace of jadeite.

"This cut failed!"

"I told you, with such poor surface quality, there's no way there'd be jadeite."

"This young man has run out of luck..."

"..."

The crowd immediately voiced different opinions. Qin Yang unraveling a glass-grade stone today was enviable enough; if he had unraveled another big win, they wouldn't help but feel jealous. Now, it seemed right—he simply got lucky before.

"It was a stroke of luck earlier. Surely, it can't happen again." Yang Buqun sneered.

"Haha, you lost, didn't you."

Ling Xiaoyu's lips curved into a smile as she spoke to Qin Yang.

"Who said I lost? With such a large rough stone, perhaps the jadeite is deeper inside." Qin Yang's expression remained unchanged, but he pretended to argue stubbornly to avoid looking too mysterious.

"Alright, alright. Keep cutting. I'll watch you turn it into scraps. You won't be able to argue then."

Ling Xiaoyu saw Qin Yang steadfastly refusing to admit defeat and casually waved her hand, smiling.

Qin Yang nodded and chose the position for the next cut.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~!

The cutting wheel spun again, quickly sinking into the rough stone.

"Hey, this stone is already a flop. Why is this young man still cutting?"

"Well, he's unwilling to give up until he reaches the Yellow River."

"Stone gambling isn't something to play on occasional good luck..."

"..."

The spectators spoke in twos and threes, considering the outcome of the first cut, cutting seemed futile. No jadeite meant no jadeite.

The cutting wheel quickly sank to the bottom before rising again.

With a sound, the yellow sand-skin rough stone split once more.

Though they had little faith in Qin Yang's second cut, the crowd still looked over. The smooth cut sides were still dry, rough yellow-brown, though the brown had slightly deepened.

"No green..."

"It's indeed a waste stone."

"Given such poor surface quality, cutting out jadeite would be strange."

"..."

Qin Yang's lips slightly curved; the second cut went as expected.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

The cutting wheel spun once more.

Seeing Qin Yang still cutting, the spectators shook their heads, feeling his mentality resembled a gambler in denial after a loss. However, Qin Yang had already unraveled a glass-grade stone, and this yellow sand-skin stone probably didn't cost much, losing was losing.

"He's truly unwilling until he reaches the Yellow River, thinking every stone contains jadeite."

Yang Buqun's lips showed mockery. Qin Yang's mentality reflected his immaturity. He wondered why Ruan Xinxue was with this immature boy.

Two minutes later, the jadeite rough stone split again.

By the third cut, the spectators had lost interest, but their eyes still glanced over.

The jadeite rough stone's smooth cut bore the yellow-brown weathered outer layer, deeper within was dark-brown hard rock, and in the center was a palm-sized shiny black piece.

"No green."

"It's completely dry, a waste stone. Cutting any further is pointless."

"..."

"Haha, Qin Yang, you should admit defeat now." Ling Xiaoyu giggled as she spoke.

Speaking, her casual glance at the cut stopped her smile.

"Wait, this... seems not to be a flop."

Ling Xiaoyu's gaze condensed slightly; she murmured and stepped forward.

The surrounding people were mostly experts. Many reacted, looking towards Ling Xiaoyu who had taken out a flashlight to shine onto the black spot.

Under the strong light, transparent brilliance penetrated, and the black as ink part in the center revealed a patch of deep green.

"Green! It's green!"

Among the spectators, someone exclaimed suddenly.

"Is this... Black Jadeite?!"

Ling Xiaoyu's voice carried a hint of surprise; she hadn't expected such poor surface quality would hide black jadeite.

Qin Yang nodded. This little cool girl was quite talented, recognizing it at a glance. Initially, when using the Celestial Eye at the gemstone merchant's stall, he thought the black jadeite was some dark impurity.

"Black" is black color, Black Jadeite is a type of dark jadeite, shiny black on the outside, but under bright light, appears semi-transparent, reflecting mysterious dark green or deep green. Chinese people named it "Black Jadeite."

In Myanmar, locals describe this black jade as "lover's shadow," its black as ink resembling a lover's sleek, black hair, under strong light, shimmering with enchanting deep green color, this dreamlike hue like a lover's beautiful silhouette captivates men's hearts.

"It's really Black Jadeite."

"Incredible, another big win!"

"Three cuts, three big wins!"

"..."

"With such poor surface quality, to unravel Black Jadeite is remarkable."

Bai Desheng chuckled bitterly, seeing others' fortune and comparing with his own—one's in the heavens, the other's underground—a stark contrast. His glass-grade jadeite ended up worthless because of himself.
