Both girls were very pretty. The older one looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, dressed in a women’s suit and high heels, looking every bit the image of a professional career woman.

The other was dressed very casually, appearing youthful and lively.

At this moment, the younger girl whispered, having just observed the surroundings. The others were carefully selecting the raw stones, checking them repeatedly, acting with great caution.

But Qin Yun, after just a few glances, bought something straight away, a behavior typical of a newbie.

Of course, the gemstone betting market is like this; it’s normal to pay the price of tuition when you’re just starting out.

The older woman in the professional outfit was named Zhang Mingyue. Hearing her sister’s words, she glanced not far away and saw the two raw stones in Qin Yun’s hand.

These materials didn’t look very large, and in her experience, the chances of them yielding green jade and increasing in value were very slim.

"Xiaoqi, don’t speak carelessly. How others choose is their own business; it’s wrong to comment casually on such matters," Zhang Mingyue said.

"Oh." Hearing her sister’s words, Zhang Mingqi responded, feeling a bit dissatisfied but didn’t dare to argue.

She respected her sister greatly. Growing up, her sister always protected her, acting more like a mother figure.

Without noticing what was happening here, Qin Yun quickly selected thirty stones, spending a total of one million yuan.

"Hmm?"

While Qin Yun was paying, he suddenly looked towards a not-so-distant place where Jin Xin and Zuo Han appeared again, accompanied by several others.

"Hahaha, Li Yang, you must choose well this time at my gemstone betting venue."

"There are a lot of good materials at my place now."

Jin Xin laughed, speaking to those few people.

"Alright, Jin Xin, since you said so, if I don’t get any jade later, I’ll come looking for you," the young man leading them said with a smile.

"You’re welcome to find me!"

Jin Xin laughed and said, "Li Yang, if your raw stones don’t yield any green, just keep cutting without paying."

"You’re generous!"

"Jin Xin, you said it, so we won’t be polite!"

As his words fell, the few people laughed together.

Looking over here, Qin Yun happened to hear what they were saying, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Jin Xin seems very warm to these people. Judging by the situation, they must have quite a background."

The clothes and demeanor of these people were obviously not ordinary. Judging from Jin Xin’s appearance, if their background was ordinary, he wouldn’t treat them like this.

Seeing his enthusiasm, it’s easy to guess their identities.

"However, most of the good materials in this gemstone market should be with me now, right?" He felt pleased.

With his luck, having spent a million yuan, he likely selected most of the good materials here.

Just drawing the grand prize within a shop with a random pull, then drawing the second prize with another, such luck isn’t for nothing.

Now that the good raw stones have been taken by him, if Jin Xin, Zuo Han, and their friends fail to find anything, their expressions might not be pleasant.

Without paying further attention, Qin Yun left the place with the stones he purchased.

He knew that his selected stones were likely to yield green jade, and the chances were quite high. It wouldn’t be wise to stay and draw attention under these circumstances.

The best way was for Qin Yun to cut them privately and sell the sliced pieces.

After leaving the gemstone market, Qin Yun quickly arrived at a place.

There was an old master here who looked quite advanced in age.

This was someone Zhao Tianqiang had found. This was in Zhe Province, where Celestial Fortune Clothing already dominated the entire market!

The old master’s granddaughter worked at Celestial Fortune, so his lips were tightly sealed.

Even if many jade stones were cut out, he wouldn’t necessarily say anything outside.

Luck is unpredictable, and no matter how one maneuvers, traces tend to remain. However, now that Qin Yun’s appearance had changed to a completely different person, being careful meant it was almost impossible for anyone to recognize him.

"Cut these stones," Qin Yun instructed.

"Alright." The old master nodded and started cutting.

"It’s green!"

As the first stone was cut, the old master felt a hint of surprise.

The real probability of a successful value increase in betting is quite low, akin to buying a lottery ticket, where people gamble on the slim chance of overnight riches.

"Just as expected!"

Seeing the stone yield jade, Qin Yun smiled slightly.

This raw stone was purchased for five thousand yuan, but the jade inside was valued at around three hundred thousand!

An instant profit multiplying sixty times!

In fact, Qin Yun used this method to make money before.

Just like many clothing stores and other shops holding events giving cash, mobile phones, computers, etc., if he went to draw, he could undoubtedly win them easily.

With such a large domestic market, he could likely win various things daily, and after exhausting domestic opportunities, he could even go abroad. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

But this way was time-consuming and energy-draining. For him, he wasn’t short of money and wasn’t in immediate need.

With the Wealth Gathering Array, his wealth increased daily, with monthly profits surpassing four hundred million! That’s over ten million a day!

With such a speed of wealth growth, was it necessary for Qin Yun to spend massive amounts of time and energy making money? Going to shops for prize draws?

Qin Yun was relatively easily satisfied.

But now, under the influence of greed, simply making a lot of money was not enough for him!

And he had every ability to get it quickly!

Antiques needed appraisals, lotteries were too attention-grabbing, other methods yielded low profits, and he couldn’t be bothered. Comparatively, betting on stones was the fastest way to make money.

In his sight, soon, the second stone was cut, showing nothing valuable inside.

The third one, opened to yield about a hundred thousand worth of jade.

The fourth one, worthless.

The fifth, worthless.

The sixth, a stone smaller than a basketball, opened to reveal high-quality jade valued at about four million!

The seventh...

Stones were continuously cut open; most had nothing or weren’t worth much.

After all, in a gemstone market, truly having jade is quite rare.

But Qin Yun’s surprises continued to appear.

In the end, all thirty stones were cut. The highest value was a stone Qin Yun bought for one hundred thousand, yielding jade valued at ten million!

And in total, they were estimated to be worth eighteen million!

From one million to eighteen million in a short time, it was an eighteen-fold increase!
