Chapter 35 – Luminous Moon Ore
”Oh my, you really are still confident.” Su Lingsheng sneered.
Ji Fengyan shrugged, too lazy to keep wasting her breath with Su Lingsheng. She turned towards the manager. ”Okay, enough. Quickly open the stone.”
The shop's manager disbelievingly twisted his mouth. Even if you beat him to death, he still wouldn't believe that Ji Fengyan still had the possibility of turning the tables. Su Lingsheng had already created a stone gambling record in Ji City that this dead girl couldn't win against even in her dreams!
Sneering in disdain, the manager casually threw that foot-cus.h.i.+on stone towards the stone opening man, who also casually took it into his hand. Completely without the prudence they had towards Su Lingsheng, he directly used began to work.
”Already to this point and she still hasn't admitted her loss. It truly is the ignorant having no fear.”
”Perhaps this girl thinks that her luck will be extremely good and create a miracle.”
Throughout the entire store, the whispers began to gradually grow louder. Those ear-piercing jeers entered Ji Fengyan's ears but they didn't affect her in the slightest.
From the beginning to the end, her gaze never left that foot-cus.h.i.+on stone.
The foot-cus.h.i.+on stone was the size of a quail egg, its bulk pitifully small. As it was constantly carved and layer after layer of stone was shaved away, it became smaller and smaller. Unfortunately, there still wasn't the least bit of the l.u.s.tre of a rare ore.
Everybody was extremely clear. Ji Fengyan's self-confidence would lead to a catastrophic loss. After all, how could a stone used to cus.h.i.+on a table's foot open a rare ore?!
The raw stone was continuously carved until it was only the size of a little thumb. Just as everyone thought that they would be able to watch the amus.e.m.e.nt of Ji Fengyan crawling, the fingers of the man responsible for stone carving abruptly trembled. Suddenly, the entire carving process stopped!
”What's wrong?” The manager furrowed his brows.
”This part… Can't be cut.” He responded a bit stiffly. That piece of stone in his hand was too miniature and covered in a lot of dust, essentially causing people to be unable to see it clearly.
”What about it that can't be cut? Add water!” The manager said carelessly.
