Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 643: Chapter 670: Big Profit (Three in One)

"The most expensive one and the cheapest one?" Shangguan Hong was somewhat incredulous, confirming once more.

After all, Lin Xi always gave him the impression of being an exceptionally capable brother-in-law, almost omnipotent.

Well, he hadn’t actually demonstrated many abilities, but Shangguan Hong had this feeling—a man’s intuition...

Lin Xi said, "The least likely ones often turn out to be the most possible!"

Alright, Shangguan Hong didn’t want to continue asking; he already believed his brother-in-law just didn’t want to say.

As for Elder Chen, he was completely bewildered. Miss Nichang’s husband really is quite ’unusual’!!!

The sound of "chir-chir-chir" cutting stone suddenly paused.

The three looked over and saw a small piece of green appearing before them.

Elder Chen stroked his beard and congratulated Shangguan Hong, "Young Master Hong has sharp eyes indeed!"

"Who would’ve thought the first piece is going to reveal a treasure!"

Shangguan Hong’s face was full of excitement, with no intention of hiding it. He also looked at Lin Xi to show off.

Ten minutes later, a piece of jade the size of an egg was in Shangguan Hong’s hand.

"Worth it!"

"This thing is at least worth six million. Even if the next stone has nothing, I still made three million!"

He showed off to Lin Xi once more, as if to prove his ability,

Then began to cut the second stone.

However, this piece didn’t turn out to be as lucky. Although something was cut out, it was too rough and opaque, worth only a few thousand.

Given the cost of one million, it was equivalent to nothing.

But cutting one valuable stone out of two is still a very high success rate in the stone gambling world.

Many experts select several pieces that all seem promising, only to find that none yield valuable results, or they produce garbage, completely worthless.

So Shangguan Hong indeed has some skill!

After the excitement, now it’s time to cut Lin Xi’s two stones.

Placed into the stone-cutting machine, the cutting master had already switched to another one, since for a single master, cutting two stones consecutively was already considered intensive work.

At this time, for safety reasons, switching personnel is necessary.

Among the group present, except for Shangguan Hong paying special attention, nobody else really cared.

After all, Lin Xi’s two stones, compared to Shangguan Hong’s, had too low a chance.

Even with the million-dollar ones, having fifty percent odds is still too low when it comes to stone gambling.

During the cutting, since the stones were much smaller than Shangguan Hong’s two, the speed was notably quicker.

One layer of the shell kept peeling off, but there was not a trace of green.

Until it was as big as an adult’s fist, Shangguan Hong had already given up, seemingly thinking his brother-in-law’s million-dollar stone hadn’t produced anything.

"A million gone, just like throwing it into the water."

"Oh, no, it’s five hundred thousand..."

Whether it was five hundred thousand or a million, it’s a substantial amount for everyone present.

Old man Elder Chen didn’t say anything, but inwardly he thought,

"This Mr. Lin seems really unlucky this time!"

"But is it really just bad luck?"

He questioned himself, "Wasn’t it just blind picking?"

"With such consequences, he lost five hundred thousand, I lost a hundred fifty thousand!"

"Why bother?"

However, the cutting master was still highly dedicated. Even if he’d cut the stone to a small size, he didn’t give up, continuing layer by layer.

The "chir-chir-chir" sound persisted, yet it felt a bit dull in the entire shop.

After all, this was a million, just gone like that!

In this context, what could have higher risk than stone gambling?

If anything, probably only the stock market!

Even Lin Xi had begun to doubt himself, wondering if there was no Spiritual Qi, would there be nothing?

Because that was Spiritual Qi, having just dissipated, but still no treasure was cut out.

Not even a hint of green...

Just when everyone was thinking that, the stone-cutting machine suddenly stopped.

Everyone immediately heard a "Hmm?" and saw an unforgettable scene—a sight of green, and a beauty akin to a gemstone.

"This..."

Shangguan Hong and Elder Chen both let out a soft gasp, their faces full of shock.

"Imperial jade?"

"And still the size of a fist, this..."

"Its value suddenly became incalculable!"

"Anyway, it’s a huge win, a massive windfall!"

After the stone wrapping was entirely cut away, everyone saw a fist-sized piece of imperial jade, a very rare variety.

In terms of appearance, it was extremely perfect.

It seemed like a masterpiece from heaven; if brought to auction, it could fetch several billion, at least!

Old man Elder Chen suddenly felt faint.

For the first time in his life, he felt the regret of not cutting it himself!

For a shop owner, especially one who has seen countless life experiences, having such a feeling is extremely rare.

Shangguan Hong was even more stunned, with only one thought in his mind, "Brother-in-law, let me cling to you, you surely know how to gamble on stones, and you’re at a master-level at that!"

The other two clerks and two masters felt a sense of envy mixed with disbelief.

For quite a while, none of them were able to snap out of their shock.

Until Lin Xi spoke up, "Hurry up and cut a piece, I still need to go to the auction!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Chen quickly urged the stone-cutting master to cut the piece worth six hundred thousand at once.

This stone was nowhere near as big as the one worth ten million, just slightly bigger than a human head.

So, everyone thought it wouldn’t take much time to deal with.

In the next moment, the stone-cutting master started to work.

At his first cut, the first layer of stone chips fell away and the cutting machine stopped.

Everyone present froze.

Even Lin Xi couldn’t help but be stunned.

No one expected it to be cut out so quickly.

Beside the knife, a piece of almost completely transparent jade appeared before everyone’s eyes.

"Damn, it’s glass-type!!!" Shangguan Hong couldn’t help but shout aloud.

Although glass-type jade is still not as good as Imperial Jade, it came out in just one cut, which is just too unbelievable. The most crucial thing is, the size looks to be far larger than a fist.

"First piece, Imperial Jade!"

"Second piece, glass-type!"

The two most precious types of jade are appearing in these stones of Brother-in-law!"

At this moment, Shangguan Hong seemed even more excited than when he first cut out a treasure, "I told you, my Brother-in-law is the best, I knew brother-in-law wouldn’t randomly select stones!"

After all, cutting something valuable from a ten-million piece wouldn’t surprise people because the odds are not too low.

But to cut out from a six hundred thousand piece, that’s just overwhelmingly lucky, isn’t it, because the odds are too low.

Adding up all the stones that could yield treasure, this kind of odds only Stone King has this ability in jade gambling.

Of course, the success rate of such ability is still extremely low.

So, this shouldn’t be just a coincidence; if it were, then the luck would be too overpowering.

Does that mean it’s purely based on skill?

Is this even better than Stone King?

Elder Chen couldn’t believe it, feeling intensely conflicted and realizing he’s losing big time today, isn’t it!

Whether it’s luck or skill, now he doesn’t dare to underestimate Lin Xi.

Indeed, the man Miss Nichang chose could hardly be ordinary, right?

The stone-cutting master continued cutting, and in less than five minutes, a glass-type jade as big as a child’s head appeared in front of everyone.

In terms of quality, transparency, and regularity, its value was no less than that Imperial Jade just now.

After all, the size is just too big.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze at Lin Xi was filled with extreme envy and admiration!

Many even started to think: Is there another Stone King emerging?

By this time, it was almost eight o’clock.

Elder Chen spent six million to buy back the piece from Shangguan Hong.

As for Lin Xi’s two pieces, he estimated they were worth around one billion.

He wanted to buy them, and Lin Xi was willing to sell.

However, since he had just invested in several old quarry sites yesterday, he couldn’t come up with a billion, so in the end, he only bought the piece of Imperial Jade.

As for the child-head-sized glass-type jade, he could only be very envious but helpless.

But he wasn’t willing to let Lin Xi sell it to strangers.

So, he immediately phoned a friend and explained the situation.

His friend agreed to buy the jade without saying anything.

Therefore, in the minute before Lin Xi left the store, his friend had already transferred five hundred million to his card.

After Lin Xi and Shangguan Hong left the store, they headed straight to the hotel to attend the auction together.

Lin Xi actually didn’t know much about auctions.

The only thing he knew was that Shangguan Nishang mentioned that it could make a lot of money.

Lin Xi was quite looking forward to this, especially since he had already made over one billion without even entering the auction; the earning speed was incredibly fast.

His total assets were also nearly fourteen billion now.

Going into the auction with this kind of foundation would make him a lot more confident than before.

With more confidence, he could make more money.

After all, sometimes you can spot something good, but without the capital, you can only watch.

Just like Shangguan Hong, who actually had an idea about that one-million raw material.

But his capital was only three million plus a Black Gold Card that could overdraft another million, totaling four million.

So, even if he had the intention, he didn’t have the ability.

With over a billion, a lot can be accomplished.

This auction was truly something to look forward to!

Though isn’t an auction about spending money to buy things, how could one make money, is there something I’m missing?

At this point, Lin Xi remembered and was a bit confused, he then looked at Shangguan Hong beside him, ready to ask, he should know!
