Ye Fei longed for a breakthrough in his perspective ability, hoping that he could intuitively perceive the jade inside the raw stones without having to observe them piece by piece. However, he was disappointed. Although he absorbed the spiritual energy in the jade, it did not bring any substantial changes, only prolonging the duration of his ability.
He could only console himself that perhaps he had absorbed too little, which led to this result.
Since he couldn't take shortcuts, Ye Fei could only patiently observe the raw stones one by one. Luckily, he had plenty of time, unlike yesterday when he was in a hurry. Soon, he discovered something unusual. The jade raw stones here were of a higher quality than those of the Lido gambling stone company. Before long, he found jade in a seemingly ordinary jade raw stone.
Unlike yesterday, the surface of this jade raw stone was plain and grayish-white in color. However, what set it apart from the others were several black-yellow band-like objects on top. Ye Fei wasn't sure what this meant, but if it were a gambling expert, they would know that this was rust skin. In the wool material, this indicates high gambling value, and the price of such wool material is generally higher.
Master Zhou also noticed Ye Fei observing the wool material and flashed a strange look in his eyes. He was impressed by this wool material because he had high expectations for it. If it weren't for the boss wanting to use it for advertising to prove the quality of their wool material, he would have opened it already. He didn't expect this young man to spot it at first sight.
"Did he come to gamble stones for the first time yesterday?" Zhou Yiran asked.
Duan Fei glanced at Zhou Yiran curiously and said, "Yes, when he came yesterday, he even asked me what these stones were! Is there a problem?"
Zhou Yiran nodded, "It seems that either he is hiding something, or he has good luck. Because the jade raw stone he is looking at now is one that I quite like."
As his ability unfolded, all the jade in the wool material came into view. To Ye Fei's disappointment, the jade in this wool material was not as big as the one he found yesterday. It was only the size of a cigarette box. Considering that this wool material weighed over 20 pounds, this amount of jade was minuscule.
However, Ye Fei was no novice. Yesterday, out of all the raw stones he observed, there was only one with jade, which indicates how rare wool material with jade is. Once he encounters wool material with jade, no matter how small it is, he cannot miss it.
"Duan Ge, how much is this wool material worth?" Ye Fei pointed to the wool material and asked.
Duan Fei looked back at Zhou Yiran. He was present, so it was awkward for him to mention a price.
"Young man, you have good eyesight. This is an old pit wool material, uncracked, with rich pine flowers, and this python pattern..." Zhou Yiran had just said this when Ye Fei interrupted, "I don't understand all that, just tell me the price."
Zhou Yiran felt strangled in his throat, his face looking ugly as he said, "Three million."
He thought this young man had talent and wanted to chat with him. He felt wronged facing Duan Fei and his colleagues who didn't know about gambling stones every day. He didn't expect that his well-meaning reminder would be interrupted like this.
Ye Fei almost jumped up and exclaimed, "What? Three million? Are you kidding me? Yesterday, I only spent thirty thousand on a basketball-sized piece. You want three million for this?!" What's more, Ye Fei had already seen the jade inside. It was only so small that even if it were worth one million, it might not sell. This made Ye Fei angry. He originally wanted to set a trap for Duan Fei but didn't intend to be fooled himself.
Manager Ma did not show any strangeness. He was stronger than Duan Fei and knew a lot about the wool material market. For outstanding wool material, the price was indeed much higher. Duan Fei's face looked very ugly. He, like Ye Fei, could not accept the price of this wool material. On a deeper level, he wondered if Zhou Yiran was deliberately trying to deceive him. He kept saying that he had customers but hadn't seen a gambling stone person since opening. Was he jealous after seeing that he had brought in customers and trying to scare Ye Fei away with a high price?
Zhou Yiran was so angry that his beard stood up, his face looking ugly as he said, "Do you know what this is? Rust skin, python pattern, rich pine flowers, and there may be glass-jade seed inside."
"What's glass-jade seed?" Ye Fei asked blankly.
If Ye Fei weren't the first customer, Zhou Yiran would have wanted to drive him away. He could now confirm that Ye Fei was not an expert but a complete novice who didn't even know what glass-jade seed was.
"Glass-jade seed is the best of the best in jade. It has a fine, pure, flawless texture, and a pure, bright, dense, and uniform color. It is the jade that everyone dreams of. Money may not be able to buy it, and glass-jade seed usually comes from old pits. Do you know how rare glass-jade seed is? A fingernail-sized glass-jade seed interface is worth up to tens of millions. This wool material is from an old pit, and the wool material from old pits only accounts for 1% in the production area. Such wool material may not even sell for five million at an auction, and you're saying thirty thousand." Zhou Yiran was almost infuriated.
Ye Fei curled his lips. These words might fool someone else, but not him. The jade inside the wool material was not as good as Zhou Yiran described it, and it was no different from the jade that he won yesterday.
He was about to speak when he suddenly noticed Duan Fei next to him. He saw the glimmer in Duan Fei's eyes, and his heart moved. It seemed that Duan Fei was also attracted by it. The words he was about to say changed.
"Glass seed is just glass seed, there might not even be jade inside," Ye Fei said.
Zhou Yiran sneered, "Based on the performance of this raw material, who dares to say there's no jade inside? When gambling on stones, it's about the quality and color of the jade. Kid, you're too young. This is knowledge passed down over hundreds of years. You still have a long way to go."
Ye Fei snorted, "I won't bet three million anyway. Although this raw material looks good, your price is too high. I'll go look at others."
No one else paid attention to Ye Fei's words, except for Duan Fei who heard clearly. Looks good? Could there really be jade here? If it's really glass seed with jade inside, then I'll hit the jackpot!
This piece of raw material, despite its small size, was invaluable. Duan Fei's eyes were fixed on it.
Through the corner of his eye, Ye Fei noticed Duan Fei's gaze and sneered inwardly.
So lucky, to have such a piece of raw material. Combined with the old man's explanation and his own feelings, it would definitely lure Duan Fei. Now all I need to do is add fuel to the fire.
With that in mind, Ye Fei shifted his attention to other raw materials. As long as I gamble on a piece of jade, everything will go smoothly. It's okay, I'm sure to find one. The raw materials on the shelf are so expensive, so Ye Fei focused on some small pieces on the ground.
Most of these raw materials were brownish-gray, weighing only three or four pounds, and performed very poorly. But precisely because of their poor performance, Ye Fei set his sights on them. How lucky would I be if I gambled on jade in this trash? Duan Fei would definitely believe in my luck even more.
Although the raw materials were small, Ye Fei quickly observed their quality. Talking about it, the quality of this batch of raw materials was really good. Ye Fei found a piece of raw material with jade, brownish-gray in color, rough on the surface, without the characteristics of "loose flower" and "python pattern" like the previous one.
However, there was indeed a piece of jade inside, almost the same size as the jade in the previous piece of raw material. The transparency of this jade was not high, the color was dark, and the only difference was a dark green band, which stood out against the jade's light green color.
Ye Fei frowned. He didn't know if this was good or bad, but as long as there was jade, it should be a profit. Of course, that exaggerated raw material shouldn't count.
"Duan bro, how much for this raw material? I don't want to gamble, there are more raw materials in Li Duo's place and they're cheaper. If it weren't for your face, I wouldn't have come here. You know, yesterday was my first time gambling and I won jade," Ye Fei said deliberately.
Duan Fei hesitated and glanced at Zhou Yiran.
The old man said coldly, "This is wood, the raw materials over there are good, famous for producing red jade. "Seeing Ye Fei's disdainful expression, the old man was infuriated and said angrily, "You're playing the lute to a cow. Ten thousand, buy it or not."
After hearing the price, Ye Fei was delighted, sure to make a profit. Although less than yesterday, it was still jade, worth tens of thousands at least. It seemed it was time to bring in Fat Liang.
"Okay, I'll take it," Ye Fei said.
After that, he handed ten thousand to Duan Fei.
Duan Fei asked, "Bro, do you want to open it?"
He was eager to know if there was jade inside.
Ye Fei smiled, "Of course I'll open it, but let me make a call first."
After that, Ye Fei dialed Fat Liang's phone and said, "Liang, do you have time?"
"What's up, bro? Did you really uncover the jade?" Fat Liang recalled Ye Fei's call last night and asked in amazement.
"Haha, I think so. I've set my eyes on a piece of raw material, exactly the same feeling as yesterday. Come over now, after I open it, I'll sell it directly to you," Ye Fei said.
Although Fat Liang was somewhat skeptical, he couldn't refuse Ye Fei's face. After all, Ye Fei sold him jade yesterday, and the two got along well.
"Okay, bro, where are you? I'll come over now," Fat Liang said.
After telling him the address, Ye Fei hung up and said with a smile, "When he arrives, I'll open it. I can sell it to him right away."
He looked as if the jade was already in the raw material. Zhou Yiran gave Ye Fei a contemptuous glance. That piece of raw material, he was ninety percent sure there was nothing inside. Ye Fei's wishful thinking of finding jade was simply preposterous.
