Chapter 742 - Diamond? (2/2)
“Don’t!” Bai Qingqing made a stop gesture, but alas, it was too late. She could only watch as the rock was smashed to smithereens.
This loud bang startled the little leopards who were asleep in their nest, making them shriek out loud and jump to their feet.
Roar!
Bai Qingqing waved at them. “It’s alright, continue sleeping.”
Parker removed the rock. The coarseness on the exterior of that particular rock was crushed into many pieces, but the transparent interior was unscathed and merely broke into a few individual pieces. Each of those individual pieces uniformly had eight facets and were only the size of quail’s eggs.
Bai Qingqing heaved a big sigh of relief. “Thank god it’s not smashed. You gave me such a scare.”
Bam!
The daft Parker smashed at it ferociously once more.
This time, without the envelopment of the exterior shell, the transparent rock took a solid hit as Parker smacked heavily upon it, making even the floorboard tremble.
Bai Qingqing was speechless.
She was so annoyed that she twisted Parker’s ear and raised her voice. “I told you to stop hitting it! Are you bent on damaging the rock?”
Parker held his ear and cried in agony. “I merely wanted to see its hardness. In any case, metal will need to be melted and reshaped. So, what does it matter if we smash it?”
Bai Qingqing, who couldn’t bear to inflict pain upon him, let go of his ear despite her annoyance. “I want to keep this and play with it. Stop smashing it.”
Bai Qingqing had a feeling this rock wasn’t simple. The pretty crystals that came out from the rock, even if they weren’t jade, should be quite valuable. Perhaps it might even be a diamond.
Winston picked up the six rocks scattered all over the floor and handed them to her. “For you.”
Bai Qingqing smiled at him. “Thank you.”
