Hearing Lu Fan say that, Wu Meng's mouth twitched. He had just said it casually, and this guy actually remembered it. He really wanted him to eat shit! Who came up with this internet slang? It's too easy to fall into a trap.
Since both of them had made up their minds, all the money was in Yan Menghan's hands. Lu Fan handed the stone to the cutting master.
Rumble… rumble… the sound of the cutting machine started again.
Crack… a piece of stone fell to the ground.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! There's nothing… there's nothing!" Wu Meng shouted with joy.
"What the hell! Do you have to be so excited?"
"It's such a big stone! You're happy a bit too early!"
A voice of disdain came from the side.
Rumble… another piece of stone was cut off.
"Wow! There's something… there's something…"
Just as the cutting machine was lifted, someone saw a faint green color inside and immediately shouted.
The people around widened their eyes. This faint green light proved that there was definitely a gem, but they all wanted to see its quality.
Yan Menghan looked at Lu Fan with a hint of surprise, feeling that this young man was more than he appeared.
"It's an emerald… it's an emerald!" suddenly, someone shouted again.
"Holy crap! It's a very good emerald jade! This kid has struck it rich!"
"This kid is so lucky!"
"Haha! Wu Meng! It's your turn to perform now! I've been holding back for a long time!" someone suddenly shouted loudly.
"Hahaha!" This immediately drew a burst of laughter.
"Damn it! Twenty-something thousand is gone!" Wu Meng slapped his thigh and drooped his head.
"Hey… are you going to eat it? If you eat it, I'll give you back twenty thousand, how about that? Hahaha!" Lu Fan laughed heartily.
"Hahaha…" Another round of laughter came from the side.
"Little brother! My name is Yan Menghan, and I'm the boss of this gem gambling field. What's your name?" Yan Menghan walked over and asked.
"Hello, Boss Yan! My name is Lu Fan!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
Yan Menghan transferred the money to Lu Fan, then said, "Little brother Lu Fan, if you're willing to sell, I'm willing to buy this jade for five hundred thousand."
"Holy crap… I remember he only spent four hundred and fifty yuan on this, and he's making fifty thousand yuan on the resale!"
"Yeah! Yeah! This kid is really lucky!"
A wave of envy immediately spread among the onlookers.
"Sorry, Boss Yan, I don't plan to sell this stone." Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"Then… you really don't want to open the other one to take a look?" Yan Menghan was slightly stunned. Gem gambling was all about making money. This kid was so straightforward, clearly not taking the five hundred thousand seriously.
"This stone should be even better! So there's no need to look." Lu Fan smiled again. He originally wanted to open it to see what kind of jade it was! However, he thought if it turned out to be a jade worth millions, would he be reluctant to let the Spirit Gathering Bottle devour it?
"Hmph! I don't believe your luck can be this good, so I guess even if this stone has something, the value of the jade won't exceed two to three hundred thousand. You'll still lose over a million." Wu Meng suddenly raised his head. Yes, how could there be such lucky people! That stone worth two million might be a fluke, and it might not have any jade inside.
"You're not still thinking of gambling, are you? However, I don't want to gamble with you anymore. I'm afraid you won't even have your underwear left." Lu Fan turned to leave. He wanted to turn the jade into spiritual liquid and give it to Liu Ruyan.
"Wait a minute! Are you trying to run after winning the money? This time I'll bet twenty thousand with you, as long as the value of the jade in your hand can surpass the previous one." Wu Meng's eyes lit up. If this kid wanted to run, it meant he wasn't confident about this piece of jade himself. Hmph! He must give himself a chance to turn the tables.
"Holy crap… aren't you going too far? Boss Yan just offered five hundred thousand. How many jade stones can surpass fifty thousand?"
"Yes, you're clearly taking advantage of this little brother who's new to the business and doesn't know anything!" Many people immediately chimed in.
Wu Meng was indeed going too far. If it was just about whether there was jade or not, it would be acceptable, as it was a matter of luck. But to gamble on whether the jade could exceed fifty thousand in value, you've taken all the cleverness for yourself! How many jade stones could yield such high value!?
"Heh heh! Since you want to gamble so much, do you dare to gamble with me for something big? The stakes are one million!" Lu Fan sneered. It was one thing for this kid to want to profit, but he didn't expect him to be so persistent. He suddenly felt an urge to teach him a lesson. Hmph! Aren't you a nouveau riche? If you can get rich overnight, I'll make you a pauper in one go!
Lu Fan was very confident about this stone, not only because of the streak of green light he saw, but also because the Spirit Gathering Bottle's reaction to this stone was much stronger than the previous one.
"O-one million?" Wu Meng was shocked. Although he had become rich overnight, his five million had already been squandered. He had originally hoped to turn his luck around with the remaining three to five hundred thousand! Unexpectedly, he had already lost two hundred thousand, and now he had less than three hundred thousand left. Where could he get a million?
"I… I still have three hundred thousand! But that's the car I bought for over two hundred thousand, and I've only driven it for two months. And this gold chain, over a hundred thousand. Can we bet sixty thousand?" Wu Meng suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay! Sixty thousand it is! Boss Yan, I'll have to trouble you to be the intermediary." Lu Fan nodded. Since this guy was determined to become a pauper, how could he not fulfill his wish!
This is the psychology of a gambler, always thinking that luck will befall them. Even if they are left with only a pair of tattered pants, they will take them off to seek a chance to turn the tables! Little do they know, if they had even a little bit of luck, they wouldn't be left with just a pair of tattered pants!
"Okay! I'm very happy to be your intermediary!" Yan Menghan smiled slightly. Having this excitement brought him many customers, so why wouldn't he be happy?
More and more people gathered around, and the cutting master's cutting machine started again. For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the jade.
Rumble… the sound of the cutting machine seemed exceptionally loud because almost everyone held their breath. Crack… a piece of stone fell to the ground, and the sound of the cutting machine abruptly stopped.
"Good… good jade! It's definitely good jade!" a warm green color instantly appeared before everyone.
"Imperial Jade?" Lu Fan's mouth twitched! This jade was very similar to the jade necklace that Elder Fan had left for Fan Xue'er. Holy crap… this value… it's indeed not something he could bear to let the Spirit Gathering Bottle devour.
"Be careful… be careful… don't ruin it! This… this might be the legendary Imperial Jade! Kid! You are the real nouveau riche!" Yan Menghan's eyes suddenly lit up, a flicker of surprise and excitement flashing in his eyes.
