Lu Fan arrived, carrying a stone worth two million yuan, which surprised Yan Menghan and the other stone gamblers. This kid was dressed poorly and didn't look like a wealthy person at all!
At this moment, Wu Meng also emerged from the pile of stones, carrying several large ones. After setting them down, he saw Lu Fan holding a jade stone worth two million yuan and was immediately shocked!
"Holy crap! You actually dared to gamble! Do you even know how to appraise if a jade stone is valuable? Don't think that just because a stone has a fracture, it's guaranteed to have material inside. Let me tell you, there are tricks to this. Many fractures are illusions. Inside, it might be worthless, or there might be no material at all, and you'll lose even more miserably!
By the way, do you really have that much money? You didn't mistake two million for two hundred, did you?" Wu Meng asked Lu Fan with a look of disbelief.
"That pile of junk stones you have is also worth quite a bit! You're gambling too, even though the odds of winning aren't great! So, I want to give it a try too!" Lu Fan smiled slightly, finding this guy quite amusing. He was carrying a large pile of rough stones. Although they seemed cheap at 150 yuan per jin, stones aren't like cotton. These few must weigh at least a hundred jin!
"Haha! You don't understand this! With my eyesight, I can guarantee that at least one of these stones has material inside!" Wu Meng said with a hearty laugh.
"Oh! Then I wish you luck!" Lu Fan replied, then transferred two million yuan to Yan Menghan and prepared to leave with his large stone.
"Little brother! You really have money?" Wu Meng was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. This kid was dressed so ordinarily, yet he spent two million yuan in one go.
Many people nearby were also stunned. Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover!
"Little brother! Why don't you open it and see if the water content is sufficient? If good jade is found, I can purchase it. I can also process it into small items or jewelry here," Yan Menghan asked Lu Fan suddenly from the side. This kid was very interesting. Others who gambled on stones would open them immediately, jumping for joy if they found good material, or sighing and even contemplating suicide if they didn't. This kid, however, wanted to take the stone away.
"No need!" Lu Fan shook his head. His jade stone was for the Spirit Gathering Bottle; whether it was opened or not was irrelevant.
"Haha! Are you afraid there's nothing inside and you don't dare to open it?" Wu Meng suddenly burst into laughter from the side.
"Two million yuan, if there's really nothing inside, wouldn't you want to hang yourself? Hahaha!" Someone nearby immediately joined in the teasing.
"I'd say there's nothing inside your pile of stones! This one I have is a real treasure," Lu Fan said confidently, shaking the stone he was holding.
"Tsk! Kid! You don't believe in my eyesight, do you? How about we make a bet? At least one of these stones of mine has good material. If it does, you give me twenty thousand. If not, I'll perform the act of eating excrement!" Wu Meng said dismissively.
"Holy crap! You don't look that perverted, but your taste is quite strong. You like eating excrement," Lu Fan chuckled.
"Tsk! Just tell me if you dare to bet!" Wu Meng's eyes darted around. Lu Fan looked so rustic, yet he had just taken out two million yuan without hesitation; he was a foolish ox. If he had so much money, Wu Meng figured he should find a way to earn some from him.
"If you want to bet, fine. If there's jade in your pile of stones, I'll give you two hundred thousand. If not, you give me twenty thousand and perform the act of eating excrement! How about that?" Lu Fan smiled slightly. He had been afraid his eyesight wasn't good enough to see through those stones, so he had quietly taken out the Spirit Gathering Bottle. The bottle showed no reaction to those stones, which immediately gave Lu Fan confidence.
"Holy crap... this is going to be exciting!"
"Haha! Ten times the compensation, this kid has guts!!"
The surrounding crowd immediately gathered around. People who liked to watch excitement were always the majority. Moreover, they were all involved in stone gambling, so their interests aligned. A wager of two hundred thousand yuan wasn't a small sum; it was enough to pique the interest of those around.
"Kid! For twenty thousand, we need an intermediary. Let's have Boss Yan act as the intermediary!" Wu Meng was actually a little worried that Lu Fan wouldn't be able to produce the money or would renege on the deal. He said this immediately, taking out twenty thousand yuan and placing it in Yan Menghan's hand.
"Alright!" Lu Fan also transferred two hundred thousand yuan to Yan Menghan without hesitation in front of everyone.
"Alright, then I'll be the intermediary!" Yan Menghan found this young man increasingly extraordinary. Daring to bet two hundred thousand on twenty thousand meant he must have absolute confidence. Otherwise, no one would be a fool to gamble like this.
With that settled, the师傅 responsible for cutting the stone immediately got to work. With a whirring sound... the sound of the cutting machine began. One stone was soon cut, revealing a layer of skin, but there was no reaction inside.
The cutting machine continued to cut, and soon one stone was sliced into pieces, then thrown to the ground and smashed into fragments. Not a single speck of jade was seen. Then came the second stone... the third stone...
Finally, all the stones were cut into slices and smashed to smithereens. Wu Meng was completely stunned. Looking at the pile of broken stones, his mouth felt dry.
"Come on! Where's the toilet? Who will get some hot stuff for this brother! The excrement-eating performance starts now!" Lu Fan laughed and shouted to the crowd.
"Hahaha! I have some hot stuff here! Boss Yan! Can I borrow the restroom?" Someone nearby immediately joined in the teasing.
"No! Kid! I bet that stone you're holding also has no jade!" Wu Meng, unwilling to accept defeat, suddenly looked up at the stone in Lu Fan's hand and said.
"Are you stupid? That one was bought for two million, and it has a fracture. You're saying there's no jade inside? You'll lose your fortune gambling like this!" Someone who seemed familiar with Wu Meng quickly tugged at his clothes and said.
This kid was driven mad by anger. The probability of finding jade in this stone was much higher than in that pile of stones. However, whether the quality of the jade inside was worth two million was hard to say. It might only be worth a few thousand or a hundred.
"I... I bet on the one in his hand!" Wu Meng instantly sobered up and pointed at the stone Lu Fan held, which had been picked from the large pile. This stone was also found among that pile. He had searched so many without success, and he couldn't believe this kid found one with jade.
"How much are you betting? I just bet you two hundred thousand! What are you going to give me!?" Lu Fan chuckled, thinking that such a good opportunity to make money wouldn't be refused.
"You win, I'll give you two hundred thousand! If I win, you have to give me fifty thousand!" Wu Meng said, swallowing his saliva. Not only did he want to win back that twenty thousand yuan, but he also wanted to make some profit! He couldn't miss such a bargain.
"Holy crap...!"
The surrounding crowd immediately cast looks of contempt. This guy was too shameless.
"No problem! But if you lose, you still have to eat excrement! Everyone is waiting to see!" Lu Fan laughed. This guy thought he was getting a bargain, humph!
