NovelEnglishIf Xyla Quest could buy it with fifty-one million, she would make a fortune.
The thing about rock gambling for ordinary people was that a single cut could either mean heaven or hell.
However, to Xyla, there was no hell, only heaven.
"Fifty-one million going once..." "Fifty-one million going twice..." "Fifty-one million going thrice..." The beautiful auctioneer on stage shouted calmly...
Throughout the entire process, the crowd was completely silent.
Not a single person raised the bid price.
Everyone snickered at the piece of material on stage.
Xyla, however, was very pleased with this outcome.

Suddenly, a satisfied smile appeared upon her face.
"Alright, I hereby announce that this material belongs to the lady with the card number 58..." The auctioneer slammed the gavel down and looked at Xyla with a smile.
When Xyla heard this, her smile widened...
"Miss... You... You should think of it as spending money for a lesson," an old man with white hair on Xyla's left said with a helpless expression upon his face. "I wouldn't want this lousy piece of rock even if you paidto take it." "Miss, would you like us to open it for you?" the auctioneer on stage asked politely.
"Sure, open it..." Xyla spread her hands indifferently with a confident look upon her face.
When Sharon Lindt saw how happy Xyla seemed, she smiled nonchalantly.
To Sharon, Xyla being happy was enough.
Even if the rock didn't contain anything, it didn't matter.
Soon, a bald old man walked onto the auction stage... Search The (Find) website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
When the old man got onto the stage, he took a deep look at Xyla before shifting his gaze to the huge original jade rock.
In the next second, he couldn't help but secretly criticize her. 'Young people these days are really reckless. They'd buy all sorts of crappy materials.' Xyla recognized this old man.
She had read about him in a magazine before. He was a rock-cutting master who had won a gold medal in the realm of rock gambling. He was also the president of the Jade Rock Association, Zim Hummers. Zim owned jade mines, including three huge jade mountains. His jade rock business had expanded across the world.
Soon, staff members brought the cutting equipment up onto the stage.
"Miss, how would you like it to be cut?" The old man asked as he looked at Xyla.
"Just cut it open from the center..." Xyla said softly.
"Alright." Zim took another deep look at Xyla. He wondered if this girl was a fool. Why would she bid for an item like this? After that, Zim and four other staff members moved the huge rock onto the cutting machine.
Once it was in position, he carefully drew a line in the center of the rock with a black marker pen.

When everything was ready, Zim took another deep look at Xyla. He then turned on the cutting machine... The sharp blade soon sliced the rock into two halves.
Everyone present, apart from Sharon, was waiting for Xyla to make a fool of herself.
Once the rock was cut, Zim parted the two halves of the rock with staff members' help. He then looked at the cut Surfaces. Now, Zim was shocked...
Apart from a thin layer of the outer shell, the inconspicuous material in front of him was filled with jade. Moreover, it was the glassy imperial green jade! It truly was top-notch jade.
"H-How is this possible?" With that, Zim turned to face Xyla with a look of disbelief in his eyes...
Wasn't this girl way too lucky? Zim couldn't believe his eyes.
