“You are really full of confidence,” Su Lingsheng scorned.
Ji Fengyan shrugged her shoulders and did not bother to waste her breath on Su Lingsheng. She looked at the store owner and said, “Alright, hurry up and open up the stone.”
The store owner simply pursed his lips. Even if he was dead, he would also not believe that Ji Fengyan could still turn the tables in this unfavourable situation. Su Lingsheng had already broken the record for stone betting in Ji City, so this brat could only dream about winning!
Carrying a belittling look, the store owner casually threw the piece of stepping stone over to the grinders to open. The workers also casually held the stone in their hands—completely different from their cautiousness when handling Su Lingsheng’s stone—and immediately started their work.
“It’s already up to this stage, yet she refuses to admit defeat. She is indeed fearless because of her ignorance.”
“This brat may really believe that her luck is that good, and now she may antic.i.p.ate a miracle to happen.”
The whispers grew louder in the store. The harsh words of ridicule entered Ji Fengyan’s ears, but it had no effect on her.
Her eyes were on that piece of stepping stone for the whole time.
The stepping stone of the size of a quail’s egg was originally already so miserably small. After continuous grinding, the layers of stone were gone, and its size became even smaller, but there was still no sign of the glow of a rare ore.
Everyone was sure that Ji Fengyan’s confidence would result in her defeat this time. How could an ore be obtained from a piece of stone that was used as a stepping stone?
The stone was gradually left with only the size of a pinky. Just when everyone thought they would witness the sight of Ji Fengyan kneeling and leaving, the man in charge of grinding suddenly stopped and his fingers trembled.
“What happened?” the store owner frowned.
“This portion cannot be opened further,” the worker’s expression was frozen. The stone in his hands was too small, and the powder covering it caused the stone to not be seen clearly.
