Chapter 1290: Chapter 1286: Encountering the Fine Network Cracks Again Those who can attend the Yangon Public Plate are generally well-off because entering the venue requires paying a deposit or having an invitation, so ordinary people can’t get in at all. Therefore, when Zhong Zifan proposed to sell the rough stone in his hand, there was a rush of eager bidding. Jadeite is not like cabbage, especially this piece of rough stone, which might yield several kilograms of glass-type jadeite. If you can get hold of such material, the profits are substantial. In the face of such temptation, the risk of fractures mentioned by Zhong Zifan is ignored. Onlookers are afraid of missing out, and bid anxiously without hesitation. “I’ll add five hundred thousand!” The scene was chaotic, Zhong Zifan frowned, glanced at the impatient crowd, then turned to pull aside a staff member of the trading center: “Sir, please have a few staff maintain order and allow the bosses in one by one to inspect the rough stone before bidding.” Zhong Zifan, being not a businessman, felt uneasy about deceiving others, knowing that whoever buys the stone will suffer a loss. But stone gambling is , testing who has sharper eyesight. Zhong Zifan relinquished his advantage to the spectators; if they can resist the allure of the rough stone, he would accept his loss. The staff member was initially reluctant but changed their mind quickly after Zhong Zifan slipped some cash. Everyone does such things for profit, so the staff gladly complied and soon brought several colleagues to help maintain order. Those outside, who couldn’t get in, were anxiously pacing, but soon news emerged from inside. Everyone present could watch the rough stone in turns, and if they found no issues after inspection, the bosses could bid. The news delighted the spectators. Some businessmen initially hesitated because, outside, they hadn’t seen the authentic glass-type jadeite, only hearing seven or eight kilograms of rough stones being mentioned, which made them uneasy. Now, seeing the rough stone up close, their eyes brightened, quickly evaluating the stone’s worth and forming bidding strategies. Even those not planning to bid enjoyed themselves; though they had no money to buy the rough stone, who doesn’t appreciate glass-type jadeite? Ordinary people seldom see such high-quality material on the streets back home. Even when they hear rumors of good material, others have already grabbed the rough stones and run off. Now presented with such an opportunity to see the genuine article and even touch it, it’s a chance not to be missed! Su Qingqing was thrilled. She had been trying to get in from outside but couldn’t, only able to watch over the crowd. Now, finally having the chance to enter and explore, she was excited, queued with the curious crowd, and soon went inside. Huo Sining felt indifferent but got swept into the crowd anyway and quickly reached the rough stone placed beside the stone cutting machine. The rough stone had already been cut on four sides; aside from the newly revealed palm-sized section, other surfaces had been partially polished, revealing the shimmering jade within. The vibrant green jadeite had excellent transparency, appearing lush and dripping with vitality, its bright color captivating at first glance, making it hard to look away. The owner allowed people to examine generously, as long as they didn’t overdo, touching and even using magnifying glasses was fine. Everyone understood proper etiquette, handling gently and moving away swiftly after inspection. The hall bustled, but such excitement did not deter the enthusiasm of those inspecting the rough stone. Several potential jade businessmen watched the knowledgeable connoisseurs intently, trying not to miss any expression on their faces. Most inspected quickly, each holding their breath as if they feared disturbing the green gem on the machine. Just a gentle touch and a few random glances already made the visit worthwhile, and everyone showed deep satisfaction on their faces. Soon it was Huo Sining’s turn. She stepped forward, carefully scrutinizing from all angles. The rough stone had already been cut on four sides, apart from the side with the fracture, revealing no other surprises. The only impression it gave Huo Sining was its exceptional transparency and vivid color, especially upon close observation under the sunlight, its faint glow beautifully enchanting. Tempted by the lush green allure, Huo Sining instinctively reached out to feel the glass-type rough stone’s texture. As Huo Sining’s hand touched the jadeite, a sharp cracking sound suddenly echoed in her ears, frightening her. Her instinctual glance around revealed no visible anomaly, leading her to realize the sound seemed to originate from her mind. Newest update provided by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net Since Huo Sining was the last to inspect the stone, most surrounding had finished, discussing its value and gamble potential, leaving her unnoticed. Though well-known, few associate her visage, failing to attract much attention. The sharp cracking sound seemed to linger by her ear, shocking Huo Sining. While she shook off the stone rapidly like a hot potato, an even more astonishing scene unfolded before her. Countless fractures shattered the jadeite before her eyes, revealing thin jade fragments! This is, web fractures! Huo Sining felt a jolt of astonishment, recognizing the web fractures seen at the Pingzhou Public Plate! Back at the Pingzhou Public Plate, the King Biao had been jointly purchased by Jin Pangzi and Zhou Zhen for nearly forty-five hundred. When Jin Pangzi bailed seeing trouble, Liang Jinghong ended up with the mess, the rough stone eventually crumbling into a heap of dust. Unexpectedly, two years later, she encountered the same scenario at the Myanmar Public Plate. The rough stone here was similarly afflicted, its top-quality jade fluid and vibrant, exquisite in both color and texture. Yet inside, the stone was totally fractured, not even leaving a single ring face extractable!
