Chapter 217: Teasing the Playboy (5)

This shouldn't be. Supposedly, the raw stones this young lady selected all had excellent indicators. How could there not be a single one? It's truly unbelievable.

"Hurry up and cut! What are you standing there stunned for?" someone urged impatiently.

"If it's there, it's there; if it's not, it's not. Hesitating for a moment won't suddenly make a crystal stone appear, so hurry up and make the cut."

This person clearly meant that it's better to get it over with sooner rather than later.

Hou San was extremely conflicted, but under the gaze of everyone, pressured by the situation, he still made the cut…

"Nothing… After cutting six consecutive raw stones with excellent indicators, not a single crystal stone has been found."

"Yeah, if we had bought from Hou San's shop, we would have lost everything. Fortunately, I was just looking and didn't buy anything recklessly. ye yan"

"Exactly. It seems this batch of materials from Hou San isn't very authentic."

The discussions reached Hou San's ears, making him so angry he almost screamed. Who was the most aggrieved person here? It was him, Hou San, alright?

You all don't spend money and just watch the show, but I have to spend money to let you watch, and then I get mocked by you. Who did I offend to deserve this!

Of course, Hou San only dared to say these things in his heart. If he were to actually say them out loud, would he dare?

At this moment, Su Luo frowned, appearing somewhat displeased. She waved her sleeves and said casually, "Forget it, forget it. Your luck is truly terrible. Perfectly good raw stones end up in your hands without a single crystal stone. Forget it, let's not cut anymore."

Hou San immediately became anxious, his voice laced with tears, "Young mistress, it's not that my hands have bad luck; it's just that these raw stones don't produce crystal stones. What can I do about that!"

He was very innocent in all this, alright?

Su Luo raised her eyebrows with a mocking smirk and said slowly, "Oh, so you mean the quality of this batch of your raw stones is not good?"

Hou San was immediately at a loss for words. Why was this young lady's tongue so sharp?

Fine, he had been cornered again. This young lady was truly using his own spear to attack his own shield. No matter what, it was always him, Hou San, who ended up unlucky!

"But, young lady… you still have to let me finish cutting these stones, right?"

Now, Hou San wasn't even afraid of Su Luo taking advantage of him anymore; he just prayed to cut out a single crystal stone to restore some confidence for his shop's customers.

Su Luo arched her delicate eyebrows slightly, "Finish cutting? What if they all turn out empty because you cut them? Forget it, forget it. Seeing that you're having such a hard time, let's cut one more."

Su Luo kicked a raw stone with her toe, rolling it into his arms, and said, "Alright, stop with the nagging. Just cut this one. If there's something, there's something; if not, then not."

Touching this raw stone, which seemed to have excellent indicators, Hou San felt a surge of joy, "Alright! It's a deal!"

This raw stone had both spots and python-like veins, and the lines were distinct. One could tell at a glance that the probability of it containing a crystal stone was very high. And this piece, that girl had clearly selected it from the highest-grade batch.

At this moment, Hou San became somewhat cautious. He observed the raw stone carefully and prudently for a long time before placing it on the stone-cutting machine and securing it.

After measuring it all around, he finally decided to start cutting from the upper left along the python-like veins.

Generally, the direction of the python-like veins is the direction of the crystal stone's veins.

The surrounding crowd was also infected by Hou San's caution. Everyone held their breath, their eyes sharp and focused, placing all their expectations on this raw stone.

With one cut, dust flew everywhere.

After brushing away the dust, almost everyone's gaze focused on the clean cut.
