Chapter 258: [258] This young person is somewhat interesting_1

“Crack…”

With a piercing cutting sound from inside the Stone Dissolving Machine, the first cut was complete.

The master jade cutter opened the machine cover and took out the two halves of the raw stone.

Everyone jostled to get a better look, only to see that the cut surfaces of both pieces were completely white, without a trace of green.

“Wow, that young man guessed right. The jadeite really isn’t deep.”

“Yeah, with that cut, it at least proves that the material inside is less than ten kilograms.”

“Less than ten kilograms of jadeite material, that means this piece isn’t worth ten million.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, the young man really does have some skills.”

“It’s just a pity he bet with Ma Qizhi, saying if the material inside was more than one kilogram, he would buy it at ten times the price.”

“Sigh, even if there isn’t much glass-type material inside, it can’t be less than one kilogram, can it?”

“He definitely has skill, but he’s just too arrogant. It’s a good thing for him to take a loss…”

While people were amazed by Tang Feng’s eye for jade, they also felt sorry for his arrogance, torn with conflict.

Xu Tianhua looked at the two halves of the raw stone and couldn’t help but admire Tang Feng a bit more.

Now it was at least proven that this piece was not worth ten million.

In a way, Tang Feng had saved him from a loss.

As for Ma Qizhi, his face looked somewhat unsightly.

He had also consulted many experts in the area of raw stones before, and they all unanimously thought that at least ten kilograms of glass-type jadeite could be extracted from this piece of raw stone.

But now, it turned out that the experts were all wrong.

At this point, it was clear that there was less than ten kilograms of glass-type material inside.

Luckily, this guy made a foolish move and actually agreed to his bet.

As long as the extracted material was more than one kilogram, he would still make a profit.

Different from the shock of the crowd, Tang Feng had anticipated this outcome from the start.

He took the piece of material from the hands of the jade cutter, drew another line on it with a pen, and then silently stepped back.

The jade cutter, this time, without saying more, continued to cut along the line Tang Feng drew.

Two cuts, three cuts, four cuts…

The piece of material kept getting smaller until finally on the fifth cut, green was seen.

The jade cutter now switched to a grinding wheel machine and began to polish it bit by bit.

Eventually, what was presented before everyone was a fist-sized piece of material, crystal-clear and pleasing to the eyes.

“Quick, weigh it. See how many kilograms.”

Someone in the crowd urged impatiently.

The others, although silent, were equally awaiting the final results.

Especially Ma Qizhi, whose heart was in his throat – no one was more concerned about the outcome than him.

There was an electronic scale on site for weighing.

The jade cutter placed the piece of material onto the scale, and the numbers flickered wildly before finally settling on “957.”

“957 grams.”

The jade cutter announced the final result loud and clear.

“Wow…”

An astonished gasp erupted from the crowd immediately.

“957 grams? It really didn’t reach one kilogram.”

“My goodness, how on earth did this young man know the material inside was less than one kilogram?”

“Even gods find it hard to discern a piece of jade that small. This young man is even more amazing than a deity.”

“My gosh, I still feel a tingle on my scalp… this is… too frightening…”

The chatter at the scene grew louder.

Newcomers who had just arrived asked around for information.

After hearing about the whole incident, they too joined the ranks of the shocked.

As the old saying goes, even gods find it hard to discern a piece of jade that small.

That is to say, there is a great deal of uncertainty with raw stones.

Even so-called experts can only make rough judgments based on superficial features such as the skin and color.

Calling it a judgment is actually more like gambling, with accuracy not much better than that of gambling.

But Tang Feng had managed to predict the exact weight of the jadeite.

It was truly unfathomable.

The majority of the people at the scene felt a tingling on their scalps, finding it hard to believe this fact.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As for Ma Qizhi, he was completely dumbfounded and couldn’t snap back to reality for a long time.

“The kid actually got it right. It’s really less than a kilogram? How could this be? This is impossible…”

He kept muttering to himself, seemingly a bit out of his mind.

It wasn’t that he lacked the capacity to accept it; it was just too unimaginable.

How could anyone possibly determine the exact weight of jadeite within a raw stone?

This completely overturned his understanding.

Xu Xinling was the first to come to her senses.

Though she was once again astounded by the miraculous methods of Tang Feng, she had after all experienced it once before and had a stronger capacity for shock than others.

“Boss, how… how did you know that the jade inside was less than one kilogram?” She was totally at a loss and had no choice but to ask Tang Feng.

“Uh, I guessed,” Tang Feng found a casual excuse.

But Xu Xinling clearly wasn’t so easily fooled and snorted, “Nonsense, who could guess that accurately?”

Seeing he couldn’t fool her, Tang Feng said in a frivolous tone near her ear, “The truth is, I have X-ray vision.”

Xu Xinling was taken aback at first, then became even angrier, “You don’t have to make up such lies, okay? Do you really think I’m a fool?”

“I’m telling the truth, believe it or not,” Tang Feng shrugged helplessly.

“Then use your X-ray vision to tell me what I’m wearing inside?” Xu Xinling puffed out her chest defiantly, challenging him with disbelief.

“On top, you’re wearing a pink bra, and below is…”

“Ah pervert…”

Before Tang Feng could finish, Xu Xinling had already covered her face and fled behind her father, then peeked out with a mixture of astonishment and doubt at him.

He had actually guessed it right; she was indeed wearing pink inside.

Could he really have X-ray vision?

Xu Tianhua watched the playful dispute between his daughter and Tang Feng with a smile, a hint of curiosity glinting in his eyes.

Tang Feng had proven his worth with actual evidence.

He had also saved him a loss of as much as ten million.

Although more than ten million was not a significant sum to him, it was always preferable not to spend money needlessly.

Hmm, this young man is quite interesting.
