Until they each selected the three stones they wanted, when they passed each other, he said to the girl: "It's not easy to get into the First Research Institute. I hope you don't regret it."
Qiao Nian thought he was going to say something, so he turned around and said nonchalantly, “Let’s encourage each other!”
The two parted unhappily.
Ji Hongyuan walked away with a sullen face.
…
Gambling on stones is a unique way of playing in Independent Island.
This is largely a matter of luck.
Another thing to look at is how sharp the vision of those who play the gambling stone game is!
Ji Hongyuan believed that he was already old and his vision in gambling on stones could not be inferior to that of a young man.
He chose the three stones he wanted with great confidence and waited for Qiao Nian to finish choosing.
Qiao Nian was very fast and finished his selection basically at the same time as him.
Now that both parties have chosen the three stones they want, the next step is for professionals to cut the stones in public to see what material is inside.
Qin Si said he wasn't nervous, but when the time came, his heart tightened. He turned around and asked Ye Wangchuan nervously: "Master Wang, do you think Sister Qiao can do it?"
"Hmm?" Ye Wangchuan raised the last syllable of his voice and ignored him, keeping his eye on what was happening on the stage.
Soon, the underground auction house prepared two professionals to work on the first stone at the same time.
The first step is to wash the stone.
The stone that Qiao Nian chose was smaller in size, not as big as Ji Hongyuan's, and it looked uneven on the surface, and its quality was very average.
After washing the stone, it is polished along the stone texture.
This was the first stone that Qiao Nian and Ji Hongyuan had selected, and everyone was eager to see the result.
Therefore, almost no one spoke in the underground auction hall, and everyone was concentrating on paying attention to the every move of the staff on the stage.
Soon the two stones were polished and polished at the same time.
The stone that Ji Hongyuan chose had a faint yellow texture that showed that there was stone inside. However, the stone that Qiao Nian chose was still green slag after being polished, which showed that there was little hope.
Sure enough, two stones were cut out.
The piece chosen by Ji Hongyuan produced jade, but nothing was cut out of the piece chosen by Qiao Nian, and there was still stone inside!
The first stone was cut separately.
The tense expression on Ji Hongyuan's face relaxed a little, the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled slightly. He glanced at the girl not far away who was still looking unruly. He was unable to catch his breath again and was almost angry.
Next comes the second stone.
Under the gaze of everyone, the second stone chosen by the two was also cut out.
The stone that Ji Hongyuan chose had some scraps cut out. The material was not good, but it was better than nothing.
The piece that Qiao Nian had was still made of stone.
…
The underground auction house was in an uproar.
"The second one was still stone."
"Will she gamble on stones? She won't do it randomly, will she?"
"Do you think we will still not be able to get the jade from the third piece?"
After two stones were filled with stones, Qin Si became uncertain, but he didn't know what to say. He just tensed his back, quietly clenched his hands hanging at his sides, and stood there waiting for the result of the third stone.
If the third stone turns out to be a stone again, Qiao Nian will definitely lose.
Even if Qiao Nian found the third piece of jade, Ji Hongyuan had already found a piece of jade before, so Qiao Nian might not win.
Qiao Nian was in a bad situation.
Ji Hongyuan, however, was already 90 percent sure of it.
He was very relaxed at this moment, waiting for the third stone to come out.
