Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 754 - 726: Embedded Ice Type

Lin Tian’s eyes shone with golden light as he excitedly ran toward the "waste material."

His hands constantly caressed the "waste material," a look of intoxication on his face, as if he were touching a woman’s delicate parts.

Gradually, he took the waste material over to the stone cutting master, drew a white line on the raw stone with his fingernail, and said, "Master, please cut it along this line for me, thank you."

He was especially polite today because he had stumbled upon a bargain, which made him very happy.

The stone cutting master was startled, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at him.

Are you asking me to cut waste material, what are you up to?

Fan Jin was even more annoyed, having someone bring waste material for the master to cut was clearly just an attempt to find overlooked value.

He had already checked it, this "waste material" couldn’t produce jade, and it had already been cut open; Lin Tian still holding onto the hope of finding overlooked value clearly showed his distrust, was he trying to slap him in the face?

It wasn’t just Fan Jin, even the bystanders couldn’t stand it; it was obviously waste material, even Master Fan had given up, yet this kid still wanted it cut open, what nonsense.

Someone mocked, "Listen mate, are you crazy, thinking you can find overlooked value right under Master Fan’s nose? If you want to go cheap, you can, just go to that big pit behind us, it’s full of waste material, or head to Zone D and buy one for a thousand yuan—you’ll at least get more value from it than scavenging here!"

"Exactly, it’s all been cut open, and you still think you can find something, are you out of your mind?"

"This kid must’ve read too many novels or watched too many movies, thinking he can find overlooked value, it only happens in fiction, not reality."

"Seriously, the world is never short of daydreamers and those who want something for nothing."

"Broke loser, puh."

... ...

The crowd grew more animated as they spoke, eventually resorting to cursing, but Lin Tian didn’t mind; he believed that the facts would smack them hard.

Wang Yuan quickly tugged at Lin Tian’s sleeve and whispered, "Brother, if you can’t bear to spend the money, I’ll pay for you, please don’t embarrass us here, my face is turning red, you might not have shame but I do!"

Feiyan also whispered, "Handsome, let’s just go upstairs, Master Fan might be old but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, he would have noticed even the slightest bit of jade when he cut the raw stone."

Feiyan and Wang Yuan’s faces were already flushed with embarrassment, who could have imagined Lin Tian would be so unconventional, it was utterly embarrassing!

"A bunch of fools, following you really disgraces me!"

Lin Tian silently lamented, feeling utterly helpless with the crowd.

When a wise man is surrounded by fools, the fools become the wise and the wise appears the fool.

Lin Tian again asked Fan Jin, "Master Fan, are you sure this is waste material, given to me to dispose of as I wish?"

"Certain," Fan Jin retorted angrily, glaring at Lin Tian and waiting for him to cut it open and prove nothing was there, eager to lecture Lin Tian severely for his insolence.

Lin Tian told the stone cutting master, "Cut it!"

The stone cutting master looked helpless; though he was internally resistant, Lin Tian was still a customer, and he couldn’t go against him.

"Buzz buzz buzz...!"

The grating noise began as the stone cutting master started cutting the raw stone.

It must be said, the stone cutter’s skill was indeed good; although he seemed distracted, he cut very precisely along the line Lin Tian had drawn.

As soon as the blade went in, some fragments were cut off and Lin Tian shouted.

"Stop."

The stone cutting master’s hands ceased abruptly, surprised by the raw stone; after a long look, he couldn’t see anything.

Stop, why stop, damn it, are you freaking crazy?

The stone cutting master cursed internally, startled by Lin Tian’s sudden shout.

Soon after, Lin Tian took over from the stone cutting master and switched from cutting to grinding.

The crowd watched Lin Tian with mocking laughter, thinking, grinding won’t do any good, as if you could really cut jade out of it.

The stone cutting machine resumed its noisy operation, Lin Tian meticulously held the raw stone, continuously rubbing it.

From the size of a dinner plate.

To the size of an apple.

To the size of a walnut.

Still no sign of green appeared.

Lin Tian was undeterred, persisting in his detailed grinding, gradually breaking out a sweat on his forehead.

It had already been reduced to the size of a walnut and still no trace of green; the crowd had already concluded that this piece of raw stone was completely "waste material."

Especially Master Fan, who somehow found a sense of superiority, looked at Lin Tian with a rather smug attitude.

As if to say to others, "See, I told you it’s waste material, it is waste material. This kid is too oblivious to challenge me by finding overlooked value right before my eyes."

He had already prepared his speech, ready to humiliate Lin Tian.

Meanwhile, Wang Yuan and Feiyan distanced themselves from Lin Tian in perfect unison, they really couldn’t stand the disdainful looks from everyone else.

It was too damn embarrassing!

Just as the raw stone was reduced to the size of a jujube, a flash of green light appeared.

"Green... green has appeared."

Someone had shouted, and suddenly, all eyes were drawn to the sight.

Green, green... green has really appeared.

Everyone looked down, and damn, green had really appeared.

At that moment, it was as if they were invisibly slapped, just moments ago they had been mocking Lin Tian, but now, green had indeed appeared.

The person with the ugliest expression was Master Fan, his face had turned the color of bitter melon. If a crack were to appear in the ground, he would definitely be the first to crawl in.

It was so humiliating; the waste material he had discarded had been cut to reveal green.

If word of this got out, that Master Fan had cut six pieces of raw stone, all waste, and then someone had cut jade from the waste materials Fan had discarded.

It made him lose face completely, almost too embarrassed to live.

He would become the biggest joke in the Gambling Stone community, likely to be laughed out of the business.

His face reddened with shame and anger.

All thanks to Lin Tian, he had already decided he must reclaim his dignity, or else he would be too ashamed to face anyone.

"Finally cut some green, Baby is exhausted!"

Lin Tian let out a long sigh, slowly setting down the raw stone in his hand; he was truly tired from grinding for so long. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

But the word "baby" coming out of his mouth... Why did it feel so awkward?

Upon hearing the news of green, Wang Yuan and Feiyan also crowded around, faces blooming with joy.

Wang Yuan gave Lin Tian a big thumbs up.

Feiyan was even more astonished, her heart tumultuous like overturning seas and rivers.

She stared incredulously at Lin Tian, as if he were a man she could never fully understand. Lin Tian’s actions always brought her surprises, brought the impossible.

Divine Tune had been so, the beasts fighting had been so, and now even Gambling Stone, all the more so.

Lin Tian turned many impossibilities into possibilities.

Indeed, he was a miraculous man!

When Lin Tian looked up to rest for a while, everyone gathered around as if they had discovered a new world.

"Damn, top-quality jade! So big, worth at least five hundred thousand."

"Hmm, no, that’s too low, at least eight hundred thousand."

"Hey, brother, I’ll offer eight hundred thousand. Just sell it to me."

Lin Tian shook his head, saying, "Not for sale."

Then, he picked up the raw stone and continued to grind.

After seeing that, everyone gasped in astonishment, green had already appeared, why continue grinding, what on earth was he up to!

Only Master Fan by the side stared unbelievably at Lin Tian, muttering, "Could it be... there’s something inside...!"

A shock went through Master Fan’s heart, immediately dismissing his thought, but seeing Lin Tian’s confidence, he became sure of his own idea again.

He now suspected, there might be Ice Jade inside.

Ice Jade, which is the finest of jade, is exorbitantly priced, almost reaching a surreal level.

Typical Ice Jade, nearly similar to other jade types, is evident once cut open. However, there is a special type called Embedded Ice Jade.

As the name implies, Embedded Ice Jade grows at the very core of a jade piece. The conditions for its formation are exceptionally harsh, and rarity brings value, making Embedded Ice Jade’s price extraordinarily high.

This type of Ice Jade is extremely hard to detect, even at the peak of Master Fan’s Gambling Stone ability, he only had a twenty percent chance of cutting out Embedded Ice Jade.

You see, Embedded Ice Jade is located in the very core, and if mistaken, the surrounding jade also gets cut and destroyed.

That would mean losing everything, a complete disaster!

The risk is too high, almost no one dares to cut it.

But Lin Tian’s confidence as he cut made Master Fan feel astonished. If Lin Tian did indeed manage to cut out Embedded Ice Jade, his Gambling Stone skills would truly be extraordinary.

The piece of jade grew smaller and smaller, quickly shrinking to the size of a rice grain.

Lin Tian didn’t stop, and could only continue using tweezers to finely grind.

The others by the side, oblivious to the concept of Embedded Ice Jade, all stared at each other, cursing Lin Tian in their hearts; this was simply too wasteful.

A jade piece as big as a jujube, cut just like that, he was absolutely the biggest waster ever.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Lin Tian finally stopped grinding and let out a sigh, saying.

"Sigh... finally cut it out."

The tiny piece of jade clamped with the tweezers was only half the size of a rice grain, and before people could see clearly, they were puzzled about what the heck he had cut.

Lin Tian placed the half-rice-grain-sized jade in his hand, blew away the debris on it, and a bit of vibrant green jade appeared to everyone’s eyes.

Such a green, simply too beautiful, resembling thriving young bamboo, or like bamboo shoots just peeking through the soil.
