"The jade inside this stone is estimated to be just enough to break even!" The craftsman operating the cutting machine handed two pieces of stone with green to Xia Jianren.
"Is it my turn now?" Lin Tian, seeing Xia Jianren looking downcast, asked aloud.
"Go ahead then!" Xia Jianren sighed. Although he lost some money, he should still win this competition.
He didn't believe that the worthless stone Lin Tian chose could reveal any jade.
After all, I'm the expert in this field!
Lin Tian handed the selected stone to the craftsman and asked in a deep voice, "Can you cut it as I say?"
"Sure!" The craftsman nodded.
"Make a horizontal cut first."
The stone, about the size of a head, was horizontally cut, revealing pure black inside.
"No green here!" The craftsman shook his head. "This stone you picked isn't good; it's likely a total loss!"
Ignoring the craftsman's words, Lin Tian gestured on the stone: "Now make a vertical cut!"
