Huo Sining glanced at the largest rough stone in the open bidding list. The rough stone was Mameng Black Sand from an old mining site, estimated to weigh over fifty kilograms. Although the rough stone had a large size, its appearance wasn't promising; there were only faint Python Bands, and if you cut along those bands, you wouldn't see green before the bands disappeared. Seeing such a stone, Huo Sining couldn't help but shake her head. Rough stones aren't judged by size; stones with superficial appearances won't yield green no matter how large they are. Yet Su Qingqing refused to give in to superstition and insisted on taking Huo Sining to have a closer look. Huo Sining, somewhat helpless, could only go and give it a touch. Actually, Mameng Black Sand, being among the earliest jadeite mines from riverbeds, could often yield High Jade if the color and water quality were good, meaning it had a high-risk, high-reward nature. But this stone was typical trash; as soon as Huo Sining touched it with her right hand, she saw a grayish interior, with not a hint of jade-like quality. Huo Sining secretly rolled her eyes, silently mocking the situation. Not even skin-green! Yet dare to sell it at such a high price; is this robbery or treating these gamblers as fools? Seeing the situation, a hint of sarcasm appeared in Huo Sining's eyes. This stone with no promising features was being sold for a high price of two million; who would be willing to buy it? Someone might argue that two million isn't too much; with stone gambling having inherent risks, if it yields jadeite, two million could double quickly. But one mustn't forget that the transactions on the Myanmar gambling platforms use Euros, two million euros equals twenty million RMB! Spending twenty million RMB on a worthless stone unless the buyer's a fool. Thinking of the two million made Huo Sining recall a story from a jadeite forum. A mainlander once came to Myanmar for stone gambling, took a liking to a rough stone, and filled out a bid for three million. His intention was to write three million RMB, but forgetting to calculate the exchange rate between Euros and RMB, he wrote it directly. In the end, the stone was indeed his, but the payment was not in RMB, rather in Euros. Such an Oolong event left him helpless, but having filled the form himself, he had to pay up, thus buying it for three million Euros. Huo Sining shook her head, pretending to drag Su Qingqing away. Unexpectedly, at this moment, her gaze inadvertently caught a pile of messy miscellaneous rough stones in the corner, leaving her slightly stunned. Not sure if she was seeing things, but in that momentary glance, it seemed she saw a faint colorful glow flash among those brick-like stones, yet when she checked again, the glow was gone. Could there be something strange in this pile? Frowning, Huo Sining turned back to carefully examine the unremarked pile of stones. These brick stones were also from old sites but had no promising appearances, some even had cracks, black moss, and mold spots, clearly seen as worthless garbage stones no one cared to pick up. However, Huo Sining felt that the glow wasn't her illusion, so she squatted down and started touching those bricks one by one. Upon touching several white cotton stones, sure enough, she sensed something peculiar in one. Touching that stone left Huo Sining dumbfounded. The vibrant colors within that stone dazzled her eyes, leaving her mind blank for a good while. The most legendary thing in jadeite is Colorful Jade. Colorful Jade possesses truly enchanting colors; even five-color jadeite is rare. The best jadeite Huo Sining had encountered was Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, which in Huaxia tradition represents three prosperous colors, generally cyan-blue-violet, red-green-violet, red-yellow-violet, or red-yellow-green. In Huaxia traditional culture, there are certain requirements for three-color Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, its colors must be dignified and steady, overly vibrant three-color jadeite isn't favored by the discerning. But at this moment, the stone in Huo Sining's hand had genuine Colorful Jade within! The top green band, as thick as a thumb, was akin to playful rain-soaked grass; following it, cyan faded away while blue emerged, then violet, red, orange, yellow, ultimately changing into Little Colorless. This brick stone wasn't large, but it indeed contained glass-type Colorful Jade. The brilliance within this jadeite changed unpredictably, shining with mystique like a rainbow, akin to a gem from a fairyland, seeming like it should never exist in this world, marveling at nature's wonder. Seeing those thumb-wide colorful bands akin to a rainbow, Huo Sining was instantly shocked, involuntarily taking a deep breath. Her whole body trembled, her hands started uncontrollably shaking. Such a rough stone being sold as a throwaway? Was she crazy, or was this world insane?! Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fire.net Nearly no one fancied this open bid, for its appearance was truly poor, even those few daring to gamble were frightened by its price. That's not RMB, it's Euros! Two million euros for a useless stone of zero cutting chance, no one's foolish enough to make such a mistake! Yet this rough stone merchant seemed not anxious at all, willing to play the waiting game like Jiang Taigong, waiting for a fool to bite. "Boss, I'll buy this lot for two million!" Huo Sining smiled at the stone seller, eyes gleaming with determination. The seller was dumbfounded by Huo Sining's bold move. He thought he was dreaming, not expecting a fool to actually fall for it! Seeing the seller ignore her, Huo Sining grew anxious. Was he hesitating? Truth be told, Huo Sining was overthinking; she herself said such rough stones weren't even skin-green, only a fool would buy. Yet she had just mocked this seller for treating gamblers as fools, now within half a minute, she was willing to be one! Nonetheless, Huo Sining didn't regret it; the stone before her was a colorful treasure, unfavorable to miss as it'd be rare to encounter again, hence she was determined. The open bid merchant was actually startled by Huo Sining's words. Offering this bid was merely trying his luck to see if he could package it off. He had prepared for a protracted three-day wait, unexpected that within less than four hours, someone wanted to buy it, at such a high price; was this woman delusional or was he hallucinating?
