However, the facts before her shattered the bit of doubt that Huo Sining originally held in her heart. Mr. Hou was right. The piece of Longkeng Material that Huo Sining picked contained Jadeite, and it was indeed Qing Shuidi. Although this rough stone was considered outstanding among that batch of brick material, it couldn't hide its origins. The quality of its field was so poor that it couldn't reach the level of high-end jadeite, so even the best green inside it was useless. Mr. Hou's words made Huo Sining fully understand the meaning of "there's always a higher heaven, and a more skilled person". At this moment, she had a feeling that having a cheat code was not all-powerful. In this world, there are indeed people uniquely gifted by heaven, even if they lose their sight, they still possess a window to their soul. In half an hour, Huo Sining's piece of Qing Shuidi was revealed. A piece of Qing Shuidi Jadeite isn't very valuable; this rough stone was probably worth about four hundred thousand. But the fact that this piece was selected from Mr. Hou's pile of brick material made cutting it into a profitable piece extremely difficult, not to mention cutting out Qing Shuidi was even more unlikely. Being able to pick a piece of Qing Shuidi rough stone in less than half an hour, and for it to be the best in terms of green, water head, and texture among those brick materials, was enough to prove that Huo Sining's skills were remarkable. Badasang was initially worried that Huo Sining would lose face by betting poorly, but now with this unexpected result, he looked at Huo Sining with even greater enthusiasm, his eyes burning bright as if they were about to ignite. Previously, he had never seen Huo Sining gamble on stones himself; he only considered her reputation as media hype, undeserved. But now Huo Sining showed her skill, making his mind up that no matter what, this plan must not fail! "Not bad, young lady, how about we play a couple of rounds?" During the stone gambling process, Mr. Hou did not say a word. Only after the Qing Shuidi was fully revealed did he suddenly smile and say this. Huo Sining was slightly stunned upon hearing this and quickly raised her head to look at Badasang. Badasang didn't expect Mr. Hou to suggest playing a couple of rounds with Huo Sining because ever since Mr. Hou lost his sight, he rarely gambled anymore. After becoming the stone gambling expert for the Bada Family, many people had come to challenge Mr. Hou, but he always ignored them. So this time, it was Mr. Hou's first initiative in years to invite someone to gamble, which surprised and delighted Badasang. Mr. Hou's willingness to invite someone to gamble showed his recognition of Huo Sining, and it also indicated that the old man had let go of past grudges. Seeing Badasang nod toward her, a hint of competitive spirit arose in Huo Sining's eyes. Mr. Hou's judgments in stone gambling were so accurate, as if he had bright and discerning eyes, which made Huo Sining somewhat unwilling to accept. She wanted to test whether her extraordinary cheat code was more effective or Mr. Hou's sharp ears were more perceptive. "An elder's invitation can't be declined. Since Mr. Hou wants to play, I will accompany the old man for a couple of rounds." Compared to the subtle competitive spirit rising in Huo Sining, Mr. Hou remained the calm one. The old man had lived for most of his life. After losing the Gambling King title due to losing his sight, he experienced life and death and ups and downs. These experiences made him see through many things about the human world. He didn't have the renown of the Jade Gambling King nor needed to worry about losing face, so he maintained a peaceful mindset. Huo Sining did not underestimate Mr. Hou because he couldn't see. After discussing the rules of play, the two headed straight to the newly unloaded batch of goods by the side. Compared to the old stock in the warehouse, the newly delivered rough stones were most suitable for betting. The rough stones in the warehouse had been handled by Mr. Hou every day; he knew exactly what kind of jade could come from each. Testing Huo Sining with those stones wouldn't be fair. Only these new stones, which Mr. Hou hadn't touched, would be fair. Knowing that Mr. Hou wanted to play stone gambling with the newly arrived young lady, the few young people sorting through the carload of rough stones were surprised and curiously scrutinized Huo Sining, whispering in Myanmar, not knowing what they were saying. The rough stones spread on the ground were irregularly shaped, with different skins and external features, very haphazard. Since there were many rough stones, betting on this batch wouldn't know how long it would take, so Mr. Hou casually summoned a young man to select thirty of the most gambling-worthy pieces from the pile. Some of these stones had dragon patterns, while others had pine flowers. They appeared promising, but inevitably there were unpleasant traits, with dragon-patterned stones bearing moss and pine-flowered stones riddled with cracks. However, since these were from old fields, there was still a chance of winning. Huo Sining understood that Mr. Hou was increasing the difficulty of this stone gambling in order to test her skills and true ability. The rough stones were set aside on an empty plot nearby without much arrangement. Without waiting for the young man to say anything, Mr. Hou stood up, dusted off his clothing, walked ahead to the pile of rough stones, and pointed to them, saying to Huo Sining: "Young lady, you start first." Mr. Hou's pointing was precise; if she hadn't seen Mr. Hou's white eyes, Huo Sining would have doubted whether the old man was pretending and could actually see. "Mr. Hou, you should start first." For more chapters visit novel·fire.net These were just thirty rough stones; if the privilege was given to Huo Sining, she would use her special ability to select the best piece within three minutes. If Mr. Hou did this, it would essentially hand victory to her. Out of respect and courtesy to the old man, Huo Sining smiled and declined. "What? The young lady doesn't want to take advantage of this old fellow? Haha, alright, since you insist, I'll go first." Mr. Hou wasn't like some elders, holding a stance. Seeing Huo Sining decline, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, without any hint of refusal or politeness, he directly chuckled and squatted in front of the pile of rough stones, casually picking up the first piece and feeling it with his hands, then tapped it with his small hammer. Earlier, when Mr. Hou observed the piece of Qing Shuidi, Huo Sining hadn't paid too much attention, but now, watching Mr. Hou gamble on stones, her eyes were fixed tightly on him.
