Chapter 1496 Heartbea (2/2)

It was real jade, pale yellow on top and pale green in the middle.

Master Dao shone on it with a flashlight. The light shone clearly through the stone, unobstructed. The green glowed brightly and was mesmerizing.

Some of the people were getting excited. That stone was not big, but the yield could be extremely high. It was rare in Hpakant. Naturally, the crowd got excited seeing such high-quality material.

Xiao Liao wore a strange expression, a mixture of envy, jealousy, regret and something more troublesome. He mumbled, ”Lu Da You is an idiot. He's in bad luck. He's suffered a huge loss now!”

Li Du asked, ”How much is this stone worth now?”

”I'm offering 150,000, my friend. How about selling it to me?”

”Go to hell with your 150,000. Is that all you're prepared to give? You might as well ask to have it for free. I'm offering 155,000!”

”Pfft, dudes, are you guys in a talk show? I will pay 200,000!”

Li Du shook his head and placed the stone in his bag. He said, ”This is the first stone I bought in Hpakant. I won't sell it for any sum. I will keep it. This is my lucky stone.”

He was indeed lucky. That stone found him. It was not like he had used the abilities of the little bug to discover it. The meaning of it was starkly different.

After all, it was only a small piece of high-quality material. Although the top of the stone was good, and it had a pleasant color, it was too small. That affected its value greatly. It would be worth at most slightly more than 200,000.

In Hpakant, one would often encounter stones with such value. A stone worth hundreds of thousand was nothing there. Only stones worth millions would be rare.

Hence, after Li Du bagged the stone, the crowd started to disperse.

However, that incident had become a hot topic. A scammer had used a stone to swindle a rookie and deceived him of one hundred thousand. In the end, that stone turned out to be worth twice as much.

Master Dao went back to drinking his tea. As he sipped, he laughed. ”Lu Da You and Ma La Nian, these two old dogs. Haha, wait for them to regret this. F*ck their mother and grandmother!”

Xiao Liao stared at the remaining six stones and thought hard. ”Master Dao, do you think these stones…”

Those six stones were larger than the one in Li Du's hands. Even the smallest of them was twice the size of the one Li Du had. Altogether, they weighed around twenty kilograms. They weighed down the bag holding them.

Master Dao said to him, ”Why, you want to do it? Those are your stones, you go ahead then, hmph!”

Hearing Master Dao's cold laugh, Xiao Liao smiled sinisterly. ”No, no, no, I'm not going to do it. Haha, I've sworn never to gamble on stones again. Otherwise, I will be cursed for the rest of my life!”

Li Du almost spat out the tea in his mouth. That dude was quite interesting. He dared to swear on anything.

Xiao Liao asked, ”Master Dao, these stones are mine, right? I can do anything with them, right?”

Master Dao pushed the stones towards him and said, ”That's right. I suggest that you sell them to the jade shops outside. You could sell them for three or four hundred thousand.”

Xiao Liao said anxiously, ”Didn't you say they are worth millions?”

Master Dao rolled his eyes. ”I guess I exaggerated a little. However, they are definitely worth five or six hundred thousand. These are of high quality. That piece in Brother Su's hand is from the same source. There won't be much difference between those stones.”

Xiao Liao said, ”Then why would they only fetch three or four hundred thousand in the market?”

Master Dao said impatiently, ”Is your brain working right? Those shops want to make profits. To them, offering three to four hundred thousand is already pretty high.”

Xiao Liao said, ”That sounds too low.”

He kept his eyes on Li Du and said, ”Brother Su, what do you think?”

Li Du laughed bitterly and said, ”Brother Liao, it's not too good for me to offer my opinion. After all, it involves money.”
