Chapter 40

Many experienced specialists weren’t able to successfully judge the quality of the jadeite in the stones, let alone a newbie who knew nothing about gambling on stones.

It suddenly occurred to Lan Xingbo that Lan Xiao had mistaken an imperial green jadeite a few years ago. This made him feel even more desperate.

Although his sister had a pair of sharp eyes, she clearly knew nothing about jadeite. Therefore, she was probably not able to identify a real jadeite from an ordinary stone.

Lan Xingbo seemed disheartened.

Pulling Han Yun, he whispered, “When you get the chance, take my sister out of here. Whether I will be dead or alive, it’s my own business. I will bear the responsibility alone.”

“Xingbo, this is all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have come to this point,” Han Yun’s eyes turned red as she said guiltily.

Lan Xingbo comforted her by saying this was his fate and he had to accept it.

He wasted his life to chase after a girl. Didn’t this make him some sort of freak?

In the meantime, Lan Xiao listened carefully to the stall owner’s explanation.

The Lao Keng jadeite usually possessed a glass luster. It was delicate and pure with a bright, rich, and balanced green color. It had icy type and glassy type, which seemed to have been fixed to them with transparent glue and glitter. The crystal structure of the Lao Keng jadeite was greatly composed of fiber, while the hard main crystal inside was very thin. Under the light, the Lao Keng jadeite was translucent, making it the most valuable jadeite among all types of jade.

Nevertheless, not all Lao Keng jadeites were of the highest quality. Some of them could be composed of rather low-grade substances.

As Lan Xiao heard the man’s explanation, she was completely in a daze.

Suddenly, the system, which had been silent for a while, said coldly, “Why are you listening to this nonsense? Just touch the stone with the ring on your index finger and have a look at its internal structure. If you don’t understand something, you can ask me. Why listen to this old man trying to fool you? ”

“What? Is he trying to fool me?” Lan Xiao was confused.

The system rolled its eyes and said, “About 70 or 80 percent of what he said is unreliable. ”

With the revelation, Lan Xiao ignored the stall owner’s words and reached out to touch a basketball-sized stone.

“It’s completely white inside. ”

“It’s completely white inside. ”

“It’s completely white inside. ”

Lan Xiao touched a dozen different stones but only got the same result.

The system didn’t have anything to add after that .

Lan Xiao was frustrated. She suspected that the stall owner was trying to deceive her into buying ordinary stones.

The man looked at her in confusion.

“Little girl, that’s not the way to judge stones. You should learn from others and buy a magnifying glass and a flashlight to help you. You can’t find any good stones by touching them as you did just now. How about I pick one for you?” the stall owner offered with a smile.

Before she could refuse him, however, the man hurriedly brought an oval washbasin-sized stone to her. One side of it seemed to have been already cut, revealing a shiny green color inside.

“...” The corners of Lan Xiao’s mouth twitched.

Did the stall owner take her for a rich stupid girl, who was easy to exploit?

Wasn’t he ashamed of tricking an innocent girl?

“Come on, little girl, have a look. This a half-gambling stone. It’s more likely that you find jadeite in it. Look at the cut side. It’s so shiny and green. I’m sure you’ll earn lots of money if you buy it,” the stall owner told her enthusiastically.

At the sound of that, Lan Xiao was even more confused. What the hell was a half-gambling stone?
