Chapter 2369: [ - 2378] Mediocrity

Qin Yu of course noticed Chu Feng’s subtle movements, and his expression was very calm as he asked with a smile, "Tian, aren’t you going to introduce us? Who is this?"

"Yu Ge, this is our newly hired Gambling Stone Master Chu Feng."

Liu Tian quickly and cooperatively introduced him.

Qin Yu laughed and said, "So you’re the new Gambling Stone Master? It just so happens that I have a bit of knowledge in stone gambling, how about we exchange some ideas? Let’s go."

While speaking, Qin Yu casually wrapped his arm around Chu Feng’s shoulder, not giving Chu Feng any chance to sneak out and send a message.

"Cough cough... President Qin, I’m feeling a bit unwell in the stomach, I need to use the restroom."

Chu Feng was in no mood to exchange ideas with Qin Yu—he had to inform Hu Zhuoqing that Qin Yu had returned so that Hu Zhuoqing could prepare in advance.

Unfortunately, Qin Yu had long seen through Chu Feng’s little maneuvers, so how could he let him succeed?

Qin Yu said cheerily, "Need to use the restroom? Great timing, I need to go too. Let’s go together."

After speaking, Qin Yu, without any discussion, wrapped his arm around Chu Feng and walked out of the office, heading for the restroom in the exhibition hall.

Chu Feng was close to bursting with frustration; was this Qin guy messing with him?

Even needing the restroom warranted company?

The good news was that the exhibition hall’s restroom was a single-person facility, so he could escape as soon as Qin Yu went in to do his business.

When they reached the restroom door, Chu Feng sincerely said, "President Qin, you first."

Qin Yu gently shook his head, "No, you go ahead, I’m not in a hurry."

Chu Feng did not refuse, and after taking care of business, he could slip away while Qin Yu was in the restroom.

Chu Feng was very quick, and after coming out, he smiled and said, "President Qin, please."

"Okay."

Qin Yu smiled slightly and entered the restroom.

As soon as Qin Yu entered the restroom, Chu Feng turned and walked away, muttering under his breath, calling Qin Yu an idiot.

Chu Feng quickened his pace, his mood improving as he got closer to the exhibition hall’s main door.

What Chu Feng didn’t expect was that just as he was less than five meters away from the main door, a familiar voice appeared near his ear.

Chu Feng couldn’t believe his eyes; wasn’t Qin supposed to be in the restroom?

How could he suddenly appear here?

Was he seeing ghosts?

"Oh Chu, why are you so slow? I’ve been waiting for you for a while now!"

Qin Yu grinned, showing off a set of pearly whites.

Slow?

The corners of Chu Feng’s mouth twitched uncontrollably; he had already been so fast, hadn’t he?

Where was he slow?

Was this Qin guy some kind of monster?

Wasn’t he just in the restroom?

"I..."

"What about you? Hurry up, I need to see your level! Don’t let us down with our business here. Come, what do you think about this stone?"

Qin Yu seized hold of Chu Feng’s wrist and pulled him toward an exhibition stand, pointing to a stone on display.

What’s there to see?

Aren’t all the stones in the exhibition hall junk, anyway?

Of course, these were things that Chu Feng wouldn’t say out loud.

Chu Feng gave a forced smile, pretending to look intently. After a long time, he said modestly, "President Qin, I don’t understand this stone."

Chu Feng, there are no outsiders here. Just speak plainly, no need for industry jargon."

"Alright, President Qin, this stone may look good on the surface, but from its texture, it’s evident that it’s a waste stone."

Qin Yu pursed his lips and said, "How come I feel like it’s not a waste stone? Why do I think it might be a Stone King? Let’s go to the stone-cutting area and find out."

"Since President Qin is interested, then let’s go check it out."

After the business improved, booth 52 acquired a stone-cutting machine, enabling on-the-spot stone processing.

Qin Yu and Chu Feng moved toward the stone-cutting machine, and as they walked, Qin Yu swapped the stone in his hand with the one in the Purple Micro Star Ring.

Qin Yu had set up a small Illusion Array on the switched stone, but to Chu Feng’s eyes, the stone appeared unchanged.

Standing in front of the stone-cutting machine, Qin Yu didn’t start cutting right away. Instead, he said with a smile, "Old Chu, I’ll give you another chance to appraise it. If the stone turns out green, I’ll approve your purchase."

Chu Feng was really annoyed. Was this Qin Yu really the man who had defeated Hu Zhuoqing and the Stone King of Capital City?

How come, in his view, Qin Yu was just a joker?

All these stones, they were junk swapped in halfway, not a hint of green!

Chu Feng chuckled, "Boss Qin, this kind of junk stone, don’t even talk about selling it to me, even if you offered it for free, I wouldn’t want it!"

Qin Yu shook his head gently, showing a disappointed face, "I thought Liu Tian and the others had found some kind of expert, but it turns out to be just a mediocrity! Can’t even recognize the Stone King, truly disappointing!"

After speaking, Qin Yu carefully drew a line on the surface of the stone; this was one of the three Stone Kings he had found earlier in exhibit hall 53.

Seeing Qin Yu’s earnest behavior, Chu Feng kept shaking his head.

In his mind, this kind of garbage stone was a waste of time to cut in half.

Is it worth all this earnestness?

But Qin Yu was the boss, so Chu Feng refrained from discouraging him.

Soon, Qin Yu finished drawing the line and said lightly, "Ready to assist with the stone-cutting? Prepare the water."

"Hmm."

Although somewhat reluctant, Chu Feng still filled a basin with water from the tap.

Seeing Chu Feng bring the water over, Qin Yu didn’t hesitate to start the stone-cutting machine, and cut a window into the stone along the prepared line with great caution.

Chu Feng snorted at Qin Yu’s actions. For such a piece of junk, did he have to be that serious?

After opening the window, there was neither silk nor haze, causing Chu Feng to look disdainful.

Mr. Qin, let’s see if you’ll still be jumping around in a bit!

Treating junk like a treasure!

But very soon, Chu Feng’s mouth twitched!

What’s going on?

There was clearly no silk or haze, but a hint of green radiated faintly from the stone’s window.

This defies science!

How could it be green?

Isn’t this supposed to be junk?

And based on the texture of this stone, it shouldn’t be producing green!

"What are you dazing for? Splash the water!"

Seeing Chu Feng’s dumbfounded look, Qin Yu ordered impatiently.

"Oh, sure."

Chu Feng didn’t dare to delay, and quickly did as commanded, keeping the stone wet.

As the stone-cutting machine kept cutting, Chu Feng was completely bewildered!

What happened to the junk you promised?

How did it turn into a Stone King?

With Chu Feng’s expertise, he could tell at a glance that the stone Qin Yu was holding contained glass-type jadeite.

And the size of the jade flesh was as big as a volleyball!

Chu Feng felt his head throbbing. How stupid he was! Why didn’t he just go with the flow just now?

If he had agreed at that moment, the Stone King could have been his!

"Old Chu, you need to polish your gambling stone skills. If we followed your way, wouldn’t we just cut it in half? If it was cut in half, wouldn’t that ruin the Stone King?"

Chu Feng was left speechless by Qin Yu’s words, staring dumbfoundedly at the Stone King in Qin Yu’s hands. Soon, his pupils constricted!

Impossible!

There was not a single piece of broken jade on the floor!

The jade flesh in Qin Yu’s hands was incredibly smooth, showing no signs of cutting!

What kind of monstrous stone-cutting technique was this?

Even with Perspective Eye, this shouldn’t be possible, right?
