Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 197 - 192: The Male Supporting Character Isn’t an Idiot

"Big Bro, your luck is insane today!" After the group moved to the Purple Phoenix Pavilion, a few rich second generations clamored to play a few rounds with Ye Qiu. Seeing Ye Qiu achieve another clean sweep with a self-drawn flush, they got deflated.

If it weren’t for knowing that this was Zhang Chengyu’s territory, they would have thought that Ye Qiu was cheating! His luck was simply too good. In just an hour, he won almost several million yuan, without the other three winning at all.

Several million yuan was a lot, yet not too much for them, but if they kept losing like this, it would be tough to hang on, and they instantly lost the drive to continue playing.

One of the rich second generations, whose family owned a jewelry company, suggested, "I know a jade merchant who received some raw stones today. Why don’t we go take a look? With Big Bro’s luck being so hot today, we might even find top-grade jade!"

Hearing this, the group got excited and pushed and shoved their way toward the destination. Ye Qiu was indeed eager to test his luck after activating his Luck bonus, so he didn’t oppose the idea.

"Young Master Ling, how come you’re here?" The owner of the raw stones greeted the rich second-generation with a big smile, as this was one of his major clients.

Young Master Ling nodded and asked, "Is it crowded today? I brought a few friends to have a look."

Seeing that the people Young Master Ling brought all had extraordinary presence, the owner’s eyes lit up with a smile: "Not many, same old rules; the first day is always for acquaintances."

Once everyone was inside, Young Master Ling took the initiative, without needing the owner to guide them, and introduced: "These stones piled up messily at the entrance are worthless and are hardly ever cut to reveal any jade. The stones inside are divided into two groups: one with windows already cut, which have a lower gambling factor and are much more expensive, and these ones here are unwindowed, so even the most experienced masters can’t guarantee if there’s jade inside, making the gamble riskier."

As the saying goes, ’A single cut can lead to rags or riches.’ The thrill of jade stone betting is all about vision and excitement. Some people splash tens of millions down the drain, while others spend a few hundred yuan and strike top-grade jade. Feel free to look around, and if you see something you like, the owner can cut it open for you right here."

"Big Bro, why don’t you try buying a couple?"

Ye Qiu laughed and nodded: "Seems like I can’t avoid giving you all a show by shedding some blood today."

Young Master Ling grinned, disapprovingly adding: "Who knows, Big Bro might continue his divine streak today. With jade stone betting, it’s all about luck. With your luck today, you definitely won’t lose out."

"Then I’ll take your auspicious words." After that, Ye Qiu really began to pick carefully. He didn’t understand much about it; unlike others who used a flashlight to inspect meticulously, he simply chose whatever stones looked good to him, even picking up two pieces of what were called waste stones by the door, and he didn’t stop until he had spent the few million yuan he won tonight.

Young Master Ling and the raw stone owner saw this and shook their heads with a smile, thinking that Ye Qiu was just messing around and that his lucky streak had come to an end.

"Aren’t you going to pick a couple, Young Master Ling?"

"Nah, I’m not feeling lucky today. Later, I’ll see if anyone gets a good quality stone with a nice water head, and I’ll just buy it outright—that’s safer."

Today, apart from Ye Qiu, including Leng Junxuan, Leng Haoxuan, and Zhang Chengyu, they each chose two pieces. There was a stone-cutting machine at the owner’s place, and everyone decided to cut them open there and then.

"Let’s start with mine." Zhang Chengyu had his two stones brought over indifferently. His Purple Phoenix Pavilion was making a killing every day, so even losing hundreds of thousands was just a light drizzle to him.

However, his luck today indeed wasn’t very good; opening two stones in a row both revealed white flecks, but this kind of situation is very common. Both Young Master Ling and the boss remained calm, only the accompanying rich second generations felt some regret.

Next up were Leng Junxuan’s two stones, truly living up to the male protagonist’s reputation—the first cut revealed green, causing everyone’s eyes to light up and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

The stone opening was done by an experienced master; his control of size was very good, and in less than ten minutes, a football-sized piece of green jade was revealed.

"Let me take a look." The raw stone shop owner put on a pair of reading glasses and examined it closely with a magnifying glass, nodding in satisfaction, "The wateryness is quite good, glutinous rice seed with floating flowers green jade, although there are some cracks inside, they’re not significant, enough to make seven or eight pairs of bracelets."

Young Master Ling congratulated Leng Junxuan: "Brother Leng, can you sell me this stone? I’ll give you two hundred thousand."

Leng Junxuan nodded indifferently, after all, it was just for fun, and Ling Zhi couldn’t possibly cheat him—he didn’t consider today a loss either.

The second stone was quickly opened as well, and it too had green, but since it was a Bean Seed, Ling Zhi did not plan to take it; his family dealt in high-end jewelry, and Bean Seed jade, if bought, would just be wasted effort. Originally he was afraid that buying the first piece and not the second might offend Leng Junxuan, but fortunately another jeweler made an offer, which made him sigh in relief.

Next up was Leng Haoxuan’s turn. Since childhood, this older cousin Leng Junxuan always seemed to loom over him, making it hard for him to breathe. Others said the brothers had a good relationship, but they didn’t know he was secretly competing, seeing his cousin reveal two pieces of jade, he also harbored a competitive mindset, hoping his own judgment would be better than his cousin’s.

However, clearly, he knew nothing about the protagonist’s halo and was bound to be deflated.

After both Zhang Chengyu and Leng Haoxuan continuously lost in gambling, it was only Ye Qiu’s pile of stones left, which was also what everyone was most looking forward to.

Firstly, because Ye Qiu’s luck today was truly against the odds, maybe he really could reveal something good, and secondly, because he chose a total of eight stones; likely even a blind cat would stumble upon a dead mouse and be able to reveal two pieces of green jade, right?

"Should I decide the cutting line again?" asked the stone-opening master; among Ye Qiu’s eight stones there were two worth over a million yuan, and typically customers who buy such stones are connoisseurs who carefully ponder before deciding where to cut, fearing that others might ruin the stones.

Although the stone opener was an experienced master, without Ye Qiu’s consent, he wouldn’t dare to take on the responsibility. What if the stone really turned out to be Ice Species? ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Ye Qiu nodded and said to him: "Let Master Liu decide, I don’t understand these things, it’s okay even if it gets cut improperly."

With Ye Qiu’s consent, Master Liu also took it seriously; although he had been opening stones for many years, he didn’t have the money to buy expensive stones, and those who did generally wouldn’t let him cut them. If today he could really reveal one or two pieces of top-grade jade under his hands, he would become famous.

The first stones to be opened were the two cheapest ones dubbed waste stones, determined by experts to have no potential for green, he didn’t pay much attention and simply cut them in half directly.

There’s green?

Master Liu was stunned—could this trash waste stone truly have green?

And even though it was cut in half, it didn’t damage the piece of green; the jade just happened to be on the other half of the stone, that’s quite miraculous!
