C172 Faced with a Challenge

"Crack!"

"Zi zi zi zi …"

After the sound of the cutting machine rang out, the man in the suit began to open the stone.

However, the suited man's expression quickly turned ugly.

"Sigh …" "What a pity."

"This ore was bought for nothing.

"Another one that misjudged me. This money has been wasted."

At this moment, the surrounding crowd had already started discussing among themselves. Many of them were sighing with a very regretful expression on their faces.

The man in a suit's ore looked pretty good, and its color was also very green. However, judging from the texture and cracks of the ore, it was obvious that the jade inside the ore had been destroyed. Even if it gave out jade, it would only be a tiny bit.

Therefore, this could only mean one thing. The man in the suit was mistaken. He must have been deceived by the surface of the ore.

The suited man let out a heavy sigh, turned around and left.

He knew that he had already lost money and that this ore was useless. There was no need to continue watching.

That's right, this was the most realistic situation in the rock gambling business. There was no way to change this, and one blade was enough to decide everything.

"Is there anyone else who wants to comprehend the stone?"

After the man in the suit finished removing the ore, the old man inside shouted to the surrounding people once again.

"Me!"

Just as the old man finished speaking, a voice rang out.

This voice belonged to Lee Hongtian.

Lee Hongtian was here to open the stone, so he naturally wouldn't hesitate to shout while no one was around.

After hearing Lee Hongtian's voice, everyone cast their gazes towards him.

Lee Hongtian walked forward with the most ordinary piece of ore in his hand and handed it to the old man.

When the old man saw the ore that Lee Hongtian handed over, he immediately frowned and his expression became extremely unsightly.

"Young man, are you sure it's this rock you want to remove?"

After pausing for a moment, the old man looked at Lee Hongtian with suspicion.

"Yes, that's right." Lee Hongtian replied to the old man without any hesitation. His expression was very firm and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

Swish!

Once those words were said, not to mention the old man, even the surrounding people started to discuss once again.

"Damn, this is just a piece of broken stone."

"Yea, he used a broken rock like that to open the stone. Isn't that insulting Elder Lin?"

"This person is a fool, right? If you don't understand, then don't act recklessly."

At this moment, the surrounding people were extremely dissatisfied with Lee Hongtian. They all thought that Lee Hongtian was here to play around, to actually bring out such a useless piece of rock for them to open.

Elder Lin's name was Lin Tianshan. He was also a master stonecutter and was known as Elder Lin. He held great prestige in the entire stonecutter world.

"Young man, this rock of yours looks very ordinary. Are you sure you want to start deciphering it?" Elder Lin looked at Lee Hongtian and asked.

"Of course, I'm sure we have to start opening the stone, or else why would I be here?" Lee Hongtian smiled and said calmly.

Lee Hongtian did not care about the opinions of the crowd. Only he himself knew the peculiarity of this ore.

There is a saying that everything must not be looked at on the surface, nor be fooled by all the phenomena on the surface.

"Alright, since you insist, then how do you want me to open the stone for you?"

Hearing that Lee Hongtian was determined to open the stone, Elder Lin had no other choice but to agree. However, he still asked Lee Hongtian.

This ore was very ordinary, and Elder Lin didn't know where to start. He had been rolling in the Stone Bet World for dozens of years, but he had never seen a person like Lee Hongtian bring such a useless rock.

"Do you have a pen?"

Lee Hongtian was slightly surprised for a moment and then looked at Elder Lin and asked.

Elder Lin was also speechless for a moment and then signaled to his assistant.

Then, his assistant took a black marker from the table behind and handed it to Lee Hongtian.

Lee Hongtian took the pen and started to divide it on his ore.

Elder Lin, his assistant and everyone else present also looked at Lee Hongtian's actions in confusion. They wanted to see what exactly was so special about Lee Hongtian's ore.

This was the question in everyone's mind. What was so good about a piece of useless rock?

A minute later, Lee Hongtian passed the split ore to Elder Lin.

"Master, please cut it according to the lines I drew. The depth of the cut is less than one centimeter." Lee Hongtian told Elder Lin.

"Oh, this guy still dares to order Elder Lin around."

"This is too arrogant, isn't it? It's just a piece of useless rock, but he actually managed to become so professional."

"Fuck, if it can increase the bet, then I can swallow this ore without any problem."

Hearing Lee Hongtian's words, the surrounding people became unhappy again and started to criticize Lee Hongtian.

Usually, it was Elder Lin who came to divide the teams. But today, Lee Hongtian had actually come to command Elder Lin. This had shocked everyone.

Elder Lin didn't have any objections and could only take the ore. Then, he personally placed the ore under the cutting machine.

"Tss tss!"

The sound of a cutter sounded out, and the sharp blade of the cutter started cutting Lee Hongtian's ore.

With Elder Lin personally working on it, this ore was naturally cut up according to Lee Hongtian's instructions.

The cut looked the same as it did at the beginning. There was not even a hint of green inside. It was completely black.

"See, I told you, there definitely won't be any jade."

"Haha, I'm afraid he's not a fool."

"It's obviously a waste of Elder Lin's time. It's really ridiculous to get Elder Lin to personally open the stone for him."2

The crowd once again started to mock and ridicule him.

Lee Hongtian sneered in his heart as he heard this. He knew that he could shut these people up and let them feel how painful a silent slap would be.

"Young man, your ore won't give out jade, so just give up. It's very normal for you to make eye contact with it."

Even Elder Lin looked at Lee Hongtian helplessly and suggested.

"Elder Lin, I believe in my eyesight. Next, I still need you to use jade-like rubbing paper to grind it. As you grind, water will be continuously released." Lee Hongtian would not give up. He must broaden everyone's horizons and shock everyone.

Hearing Lee Hongtian's words, Elder Lin's face became a little surprised. He didn't expect Lee Hongtian to actually know about this thing called jaded paper. It seems that Lee Hongtian indeed has some ability. Perhaps something unexpected will really happen.
