Chapter 436 - Reverse

Chapter 436 Reverse

The onlookers were unaware of Ding Ning’s fierce eyes. Seeing that the second raw stone also failed, some shook their heads to feel sorry, someone gloated, some pitied, someone had sympathy...

Their reactions were different, but they all thought that everything was settled and Ding Ning was sure to lose and had no chance to win. After all, the possibility of getting the glass type or ice type was really, really too slim.

“Childe Ding, what else can you say?”

When he realized that he had been scared by Ding Ning’s eyes, Xiang Bolong was ashamed and became angry. At this point, he leaped for joy and provoked Ding Ning again.

“Right, Childe Ding, what else can you say? Do you still wish to win with the last stone?”

Childe Liu laughed comfortably and happily, but his tone was full of tease. Although Ding Ning’s eyes were very scaring, now they were sure to win, and he did not believe that Ding Ning would dare to go back on his word in public.

“Childe Liu, don’t say that. Since Childe Ding will not give up until he meets the dead end, let’s wait a few more moments.”

With very strong pretension, Childe Chen put his hands behind his back in a knot and said hypocritically.

“Waiting for the glass type to be taken out? I’m very looking forward to it.”

Xiang Bolong laughed especially happily, with his tone full of ridicule.

“It is hard to tell. Maybe Childe Ning will take out the glass type or ice type.”

Sister Fang said sarcastically. Now, the general situation had been decided, so she did not mind coming out to trample on Ding Ning. This was the right of the winner.

“Right, perhaps Childe Ding is so lucky that he will reverse the result in an astonishing manner. Everyone, am I right?”

Huang Ling had put the 20 million that she had raised by doing whatever she could into the gamble. Thinking of the wager she was about to have, she couldn’t help feeling a surge of excitement going through her chest and taunted him with the winner’s overexcited reaction.

“Master Mo is really amazing! He deserves to be the stone-gambling master.”

Childe You did not dare to satirize Ding Ning anymore, but since everyone had started to mock Ding Ning, he could not play the coward anymore, so he could only change the subject and began to flatter Master Mo.

Master Mo stood straight proudly with his hands knotted behind his back, his bluish-white Taoist robe billowing in the wind. Hearing these words, he just smiled indifferently, looking more like a master, who would not be affected by honor or adoration. This pretension, which had gone to extremes, drew the eyes of admiration from the crowd.

Ding Ning was not affected and continued to ask the stone cutting master to disintegrate the third raw stone.

“Alas, let’s leave, nothing interesting to see. This is only the deathbed struggle.”

“Right, there is no need to guess who will win or lose anymore. Even if he is lucky and gets ‘green’, it is still impossible for it to match his rival’s 16 million jadeite.”

“It is not impossible but almost no. It is harder than winning a 5 million lottery prize.”

“What a pity! That’s 300 million! Alas, I hope the young man can learn a lesson and won’t go crazy like this again in the future.”

“Go, go, nothing interesting to see. Do you really think this is a TV series where the result can always be reversed successfully?”

...

The bystanders shook their heads with sighs and had lost interest in the ending without suspense. In twos and threes, they were about to go, and even the appraisers shook their heads time after time, ready to pick up their belongings to leave.

Childe Liu and his partners sneered again and again, and Xiang Bolong could not help squinting at Ding Ning, who was still calm. “Act, act more professionally, until your last hope disappears, and then how can you...”

“Appears...green appears.”

The stone cutting master suddenly shouted excitedly, and the surprise in the shout was quite obvious.

“I also have stress. Don’t you know?” When he was taunted by so many people, Ding Ning did not go furious like those of no quality, who would become angry with the stone cutting master while complaining. Instead, he had been polite to him.

Hearing the ridicules of Childe Liu and his partners, he felt that they also seemed to ridicule him, as if taking no jadeite out was a crime for him. Now when he finally saw green, how could he not be excited?

This shout was like a spell which had frozen everyone’s move as if time had stagnated, making the bustling site become completely silent.

Xiang Bolong trembled, more like a person who had got an electric shock, and his smile froze, but he subconsciously turned to the raw stone where a small patch of its surface had been removed. The light green color gave him a strong sense of bad omen.

“D*mn, it’s green.”

“Is it really so shitty? There is such a result-reversing scene at the critical moment?”

“Really? Too unimaginable, right?”

“Huh, what’s the point of seeing green? Can it be worth 16 million?”

...

The bystanders came and gathered together again, murmuring.

Childe Liu and his partners subconsciously turned to Master Mo, but the latter gave a confident smile. “It’s very good for this one to be a success, or where should we get our loot?”

Then, everyone remembered that their gambling rules required that the jadeite which was taken out was also the winner’s. Instantly, Childe Liu and his partners were not shocked but were happy and laughed. “What Master Mo says is quite right. This is our bonus.”

“Good, good, we won 300 million and also got a piece of jadeite. That’s perfect.”

“I hope this piece of jadeite is not too bad, and then we can exchange it for our drinking money.”

“Even the smallest profit is still profit. I don’t hate to have more money, haha.”

...

Master Mo’s words were like a confidence-building pill, making Childe Liu and his partners shout again as if they had taken drugs.

Ding Ning’s face, which had been peaceful, had extra expressions again, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a disapproving, light, calm, and panic-making sneer.

When Xiang Bolong saw the sneer, a cold sweat suddenly came out of his forehead because he was so familiar with this expression of Ding Ning. When he lost to him several times in the past, Ding Ning seemed to always wear this smile. In fact, this smile was very sunny, but it was a demon’s smile in his eyes.

He was so nervous that his heart seemed to have come to his throat. Subconsciously, he clenched his fists with his knuckles turning white because he had given too much strength, stared attentively at the stone cutting master’s moves, and roared crazily in his mind. “It won’t, it never will, he can’t be so lucky each time.”

But his intuition told him that he had lost again. The strong desperation was rampantly spreading in his mind, driving him to the extreme bitterness.

“D*mn, the type looks not bad. Can it really be the ice type, can’t it?”

“Look at its transparency! Perhaps it can really be the ice type.”

“If it is the ice type, he will really have a chance to win, but the size is important. If it is too small, he won’t.”

“It’s really possible for us to watch a wonderful ‘counterattack’ game today.”

...

As the stone cutting master kept disintegrating the stone with great care, the green color became darker and darker. The bystanders shouted in surprise again and again, but Childe Liu and his partners had begun to become sullen. An ominous hunch prevented them from maintaining their smiles, and even the confidence on Master Mo’s face was also disappearing gradually.

Time passed in an anxious very slow motion. When the stone cutting master’s joyful and trembling voice sounded again, a piece of an infant fist-sized jadeite had already been in his palm. “The glass type and also the imperial green.”

With a boom, the site boiled with noises at once. The bystanders became insane and rushed over to appreciate it. This was the glass type and also the full-green top-level imperial green. Although it was not big, its value could easily exceed the total value of Master Mo’s three pieces of jadeite. There was no need to appraise it.

“How, how, could, could this happen?”

The faces of Childe Liu and his partners turned ashy as if their parents had passed away, and their lips trembled. With disbelief, they looked at that piece of imperial green jadeite, their eyes glittering with desperation!

Huang Ling and Xiang Bolong were the most miserable ones because the two of them raised their wager money by making all painstaking efforts. As their eyeballs were rolled, they passed out. Flurried, the others went over to give them first aid quickly. It was a scene of chaos.

Master Mo’s face burned with shame. Remembering that he shamelessly joked about the bonus just now, he knew he had been humiliated in the face, so he strongly wished to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Mr. Liu, who had been worried, was finally relived and gave a relaxed smile.

Ding Ning took the imperial green jadeite and walked step by step toward Childe Liu and his partners. When they tried to avoid looking at him, he said indifferently, “I always have very good luck. Do you still need to appraise it?”

“No need, you won!”

Childe Liu hung his proud head, and his voice even sounded bitter and hoarse. He had put 100 million, all his money, in the wager.

Childe Chen was not as buoyant as before. Instead, his face had turned as pale as a sheet of paper. He could already imagine his end: The indignant Childe Liu would tear him into pieces.

Master Mo had lost all his face and keeping a straight face, left with a cold snort. This time, he had not only lost the gamble with the 100 million reward gone, but his stone-gambling master’s reputation had also lost so much of its value.

“Let’s get our gambling agreement done.”

Ding Ning’s tone was as peaceful as a deep pool, without the slightest emotional ups and downs.

His attitude, which would not be affected by honor or adoration, made everyone praise him, but they had completely forgotten the taunts and jeers they used just now.

Childe You looked sullen and muttered unhappily, “You were only lucky.”

Ding Ning raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him coldly and fiercely. “Or let’s gamble again, and the wager is still 300 million.”

Shocked, Childe You drooped his head and did not have the courage to say anything offensive anymore.

“I will admit defeat and pay the loss. Now let me transfer money to you.”

Childe Liu looked gloomy, but he took out his mobile phone and transferred the money to Ding Ning instantly.

Seeing the SMS reminder that the money had been transferred to his account, Ding Ning did not nag anymore, rudely took away the three pieces of jadeite Childe Liu and his partners had taken out from the stones, waved his hands in an unrestrained manner, and strode away. “The Guy Who Always Gives Money Away, I hope I can see you again next time.”

When the light voice came, Xiang Bolong, who had just woken up and heard the voice, spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.

The sun was setting in the west, and its afterglow had made the Ding Ning’s shadow very, very long. Compared with the dejected faces of Childe Liu and his partners, his shadow was so tall and so handsome.

The bystanders excitedly chatted and dispersed to all directions. Everything that had happened this afternoon would become the topic they would talk about most during this time.

Perhaps for them, this was only a little guy who was back in the saddle in the hopeless situation because of extremely good luck and taking out a piece of imperial green jadeite from a stone, avoided his defeat, but for Ding Ning, this was far from enough.

After taking twists and turns, he shook off the person who had been following him. Ding Ning’s eyes glinted with ferocity. “Who on earth was following me? Childe Liu’s man? Master Mo’s man? Or someone who found my wealth and wanted to get it?

“He had better be Master Mo. Otherwise, I would have no good reason to deal with him.”

Ding Ning grinned hideously. Murong Yanran was about to open her own company. Although she had never spoken of her family background to him, he had learned her situation because Raccoon No. 1 and Raccoon No. 2 had informed him of that secretly.

Since he had a desire to conquer the queen, he had decided to help her, let alone he also called her elder sister.

It was not enough to open the jewelry company only with his carving skill as support. After all, the raw material selection and purchase was the key point, but he could not spend too much time helping her company select and purchase the raw material, but if Master Mo could also help her, that would save lots of trouble.

Master Mo would be in charge of selecting and purchasing the raw material, and he would do the carving job. Of course, he would also make the carvings in the name of the Master of the Divine Burin, but it would happen only when he found the top-level material. Would such a company worry that it could not earn large sums of money?

Ding Ning found a remote place and quickly put on the biomimetic skin to change his appearance before he headed for the Fantastic Stones Shop again. He had found so many raw stones, among which more than ten contained jadeite, so how could he miss them?

Dressed up as a bearded strong man, Ding Ning came across the despondent Childe Liu and his partners coming from the opposite direction. When he closely passed them, he saw that they were like the roosters who had failed the fight. Ding Ning sneered silently, “I hope this matter taught them enough, and they will know to restrain themselves a bit in the future.”
