Lin Luo's first knife was cut close to the edge of the black ringworm, directly cutting the piece of wool into two halves, one big and one small. And he threw away the big half, picked up the smaller piece and put it on the understanding stone machine.
Lin Luo pointed the plaster black ringworm with the grinding wheel and began to rub the stone. As he said before, the plaster black ringworm only stayed on the surface of the skin and did not eat it, so it was quickly wiped off by the grinding wheel .
After pouring water on it, I saw a small piece of green emerald from the wiped window. As the wiped out green gets bigger and bigger, the direction of the internal jadeite can be roughly seen. The white salt sand wool seldom has peeling, so if there is no accident, the inside of this wool should be able to untangle a lot. Emeralds come.
Finally, a piece of hibiscus full of green emeralds with excellent water color was extracted from it. It weighs about three to four kilograms, and the value can be said to be quite high.
The bet went up twice in a row, and Andre's subordinates couldn't help whispering. They probably didn't expect this young imperial man to be so powerful.
Oli was stunned as he watched from the sidelines, Lin Luo was convinced of the performance of this piece of wool, and he actually solved such a large piece of jade!
Seeing that Lin Luo was about to get the third piece of wool, Oli hurriedly pointed to the remaining half of the wool and asked, "Do you not understand the remaining half?"
Lin Luo shook his head, "Both the ringworm and seedlings are only concentrated on the half I just removed, which means that only that part has jade, and the remaining half does not need to be removed."
Oli nodded blankly. He was already somewhat convinced of Lin Luo at this time, so he didn't raise any doubts, and watched other people remove the half piece of wool.
The last piece of wool that Lin Luo wanted to solve was the worst piece of performance. It was a gray-carved mountain rock with a dusty leather shell, and the foundry was average, but because it was a mountain rock, the leather shell was thin, and the inside could be seen It is colored, but there is a scar-like psoriasis in the middle, which makes people feel sick when they look at it.
If it's just the withered ringworm, some people should be willing to take a gamble. After all, withered ringworm is not very harmful to stones, so there is still a certain degree of gamble.
But the bad thing is that this piece of wool has a lot of cracks besides the dry ringworm, one of which is a very obvious chicken claw lock.
As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of big cracks, be afraid of small locks". Small locks are small and easy to change, whether large or small, deep or shallow, and elusive. Therefore, betting on locks is a very dangerous behavior. If you are not careful , it is possible to lose everything.
Only a master stone gambler can observe and analyze the changes and effects of cracks inside the emerald.
This seemingly risky piece of wool was also the root cause of Oli's dislike of Lin Luo at the beginning, but now, Oli dare not underestimate Lin Luo anymore. He thinks that Lin Luo might be the legendary Stone gambling master.
The reason why Lin Luo chose this piece of wool is actually not as complicated as Oli imagined. From the perspective of the performance of the leather shell, this piece of wool has already been excluded from the candidate list by Lin Luo at the beginning. After all, there are so many people around Waiting together, he didn't spend too much time slowly observing and studying so many tiny cracks. After observing it once, he checked it again with his special ability, and found that there was a universe in this piece of wool, so he picked it out.
Afraid of damaging the jade inside, Lin Luo first chose to wipe the stone. He aimed the grinding wheel at the withered ringworm, and slowly wiped open a window.
Because of the thin skin, the emerald inside was wiped out at once, and it turned out to be reddish brown.
"Ah! It's Hong Fei!" Someone couldn't help exclaiming.
Among colored jadeite, purple and gold are the rarest, followed by red, then blue and yellow, and green is the most common.
So it is no wonder that they were so surprised when they saw that the red jadeite was extracted from this ugly piece of wool.
But it was precisely because of the appearance of the red jade that everyone became more and more nervous, worried that the chicken feet would affect the jade inside. The main object of the damage of cracks is the color, and the value of many Gaocui has been reduced because of cracks.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Lin Luo put on the chrome knife and lowered the knife from the mouth.
After finishing the cut, Oli immediately rushed forward to help wash the cut noodles, and then he was on the spot in a daze.
The reddish-brown jade was exposed on the cut surface, but the jade had been completely destroyed by tiny cracks. When he washed it with a water gun, many pieces of red jade were also washed away...
Once the emerald is destroyed, the energy contained in it will dissipate a lot, no matter what color it is, it has no use value.
"It's a pity..." Someone couldn't help but shook his head.
"But it's already pretty good."
"Yes, you are indeed your distinguished guest." People said comforting words, hoping to make Andre's guest not feel depressed because of a small failure.
However, Lin Luo didn't show any disappointment, he just calmly drew another line on the wool, ready to continue with the second cut.
"It's already like this...is there still a need to do it?" Someone muttered.
Oli suddenly raised his head, glared in the direction of the speaker, and then fixed his gaze on Lin Luo's hand holding the chrome knife.
He felt that since Lin Luo chose to continue cutting stones, there must be his reasons. Maybe the cracks were not deep, and some of the jade could be preserved intact...
While that possibility is slim, it's not impossible.
The second knife cut out still broken jade. Then came the third knife, the fourth knife...
Finally, at the fifth cut, the broken jade disappeared, and a complete and smooth red jade was exposed on the cut surface.
Ollie looked at the rest of the piece of wool, and it seemed that at least half of the piece of red jadeite was intact!
He suppressed his excitement and watched Lin Luo slowly untie the piece of red jade completely. Although part of it was damaged, the remaining part weighed about three catties.
Lin Luo handed over the three pieces of jadeite to Andre, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."
It's a pity, among dozens of pieces of wool, there are only these three pieces of valuable jadeite.
"Thank you, I will transfer the money to you right away." Andre said gratefully, Lin Luo saved them a lot of trouble and time.
"Don't worry." Lin Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm going back to rest first, if you need help, you can call me at any time."
Oli is now convinced of Lin Luo's ability to gamble on stones. He followed Lin Luo with sparkling eyes, chattering non-stop, "Mr. Lin, are you hungry? I'll go and prepare some food for you Right? You are really amazing, can you teach me... "
Andre looked at Ollie's back and smiled helplessly.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Lin Luo is really powerful, why don't we ask him to stay and help us get more jade?" A subordinate suggested.
"Yeah, when we were fighting the star thieves, our emeralds were almost exhausted. If we don't prepare more, in case there are backups over there, or those star thieves make a comeback, we will have no power to fight back. "Although these star thieves are rampant in the federation, they never come to provoke their Toby tribe. This time the attack is really strange. Someone is manipulating it behind the scenes, and this person will definitely not let it go.
"No, I have caused enough trouble for them. This time, I will buy some emeralds from the market. You can contact the main star and ask when the starship will arrive." Andre said to Lin Luo and Xing Mo I feel very sorry for being involved in this incident, and I don't want to cause them any more trouble. If things can be solved with money, let's use money to solve them.
"Yes, sir."
After a while, the person who used the terminal to contact the main star showed a dignified expression.
"Your Mightiness."
"how?"
"The main star didn't respond..." The communication that was able to be connected yesterday, but no one answered today, this situation is absolutely abnormal.
"What?!" Andre's voice raised a lot.
The main star did not respond, indicating that the situation has become more and more serious.
In the federation, stone gambling is not popular among the people like in the empire, but is regarded as a profession by some people. Since the federation is a federal country, the energy of the confederated countries is usually self-produced and self-sufficient. The country is in charge of the main energy mines, and the emeralds mined are used for military and civilian consumption.
Andre's country is even more special. They are a democratic country with a unitary system and a constitutional monarchy, and they have their own king. But the king is only a ceremonial national symbol, and has no real power. The real real power is in the hands of big nobles like Andre.
Andre is the grand duke with the highest status among the lords. He owns a large amount of private mineral resources, maintains trade relations with many allied countries, and accumulates a large amount of wealth. It can be said that he is an incomparably rich country. At the same time, he also has a private fleet, which can be said to have the absolute right to speak in his country.
The loss of contact with the main star shows that the problem is within his country.
However, Andre was not too surprised by this. He was so big that people like him, there were not many people who wanted to get rid of him and quickly. This time he went to the empire to open up trade channels. In order to keep a low profile, he didn't bring his entire fleet, so someone took advantage of the opportunity. But for him, this is actually a good opportunity to clean up the interior.
It's just that it's a little troublesome to deal with...
