The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 167: 167 Unveiling the Stone_1

Nathan Humphrey watched their expressions and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, “I say you guys might as well directly admit defeat; why bother cutting? It’s a waste of time.”

“To actually dare to cut such a lousy stone, you’ve got some nerve.”

“Even if something does come out of it, could it possibly compare to Nathan’s piece of Blaire Jensen?”

” Overestimating yourselves.”

Several wealthy second-generation kids echoed the sentiment, but Greg Jensen paid them no mind, his eyes fixated on the stone in front of him, silent.

This was his first official use of the Mind Soil Technique, and he wanted to see the results for himself, to find out what kind of jade this large stone might yield.

Louisa Burley’s heart was in her throat, and she couldn’t help but grasp Greg Jensen’s hand again.

Greg’s heart skipped a beat, and turning his head, he saw the woman beside him looking his way, a radiant smile blooming on her gentle face.

She nodded vigorously, saying, “Big Brother Greg, you can definitely do it.”

“Mhm.”

Greg felt warmth in his heart and smiled, nodding his head.

“Damn, it’s fogging up!”

Just then, exclamations of surprise erupted all around.

Greg looked up and couldn’t help but reveal a relieved smile on his face.

Not only was the large stone starting to fog up, but the mist was even clearer than the one on Nathan Humphrey’s stone.

This meant that the quality of his stone was better than Nathan Humphrey’s!

Nathan Humphrey’s brows furrowed slightly as he turned to look at Old Zhang beside him.

Old Zhang was stunned and muttered, “That’s not right; this stone shouldn’t be yielding anything good.”

The next second, the stone split in two, and when the crowd came up for a closer look, they were immediately shocked.

“Damn, it’s glass type!”

“It really is glass type; even though there’s a bit of cotton inside, this quality should be stronger than Nathan’s piece of Blaire Jensen, right?”

“Absolutely; it’s way better than Nathan’s piece.”

Listening to his friends’ discussions, Nathan Humphrey’s face rapidly darkened.

“That’s not right; there’s not a single trace of color on this stone, how could it produce jade?”

Master Zhang’s face also turned unpleasant, unable to fathom how the stone he had dismissed had actually produced a yield.

Greg Jensen quickly stepped forward to take a look.

In the center of the large stone, there was indeed a transparent area that, although small, was undoubtedly of the glass type.

His heart instantly settled back down, and a more relaxed smile spread across his face.

“Big Brother Greg is awesome!”

Seeing this, Spencer Burley and the others all heaved sighs of relief and burst into joyful laughter.

They couldn’t have imagined that Greg Jensen would actually make the right gamble, and the seemingly unremarkable large stone not only produced jade but of quite good quality at that—it was glass type.

With jade becoming less frequent in extraction, such fine quality was rare to see.

A piece of glass type jade of this size could sell for at least forty to fifty thousand dollars, and if crafted into a finished product, it could go for even more.

Spencer Burley couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Nathan Humphrey, mocking, “Nathan Humphrey, didn’t you say there was nothing in this stone? What do you say now?”

“Heh, it’s just a bit of luck, what’s there to be proud of?” Nathan Humphrey sneered, feigning indifference.

Having worked at Treasure Mansion for many years, Nathan Humphrey had great confidence in Old Zhang’s abilities and immediately instructed the stone cutter to continue slicing.

The stone cutter agreed and began working on the next stone.

The buzzing of the cutting machine rose again, and before long, another piece of Ice Species Jade was revealed, and this one was even better in quality than the previous Blaire Jensen piece.

Nathan Humphrey scoffed, “It’s just one glass type piece, what’s there to be so proud of? I’ve now got two pieces of Blaire Jensen, and both are larger than yours, enough to make several pairs of bracelets.”

“If you guys can’t produce anything from the next stone, you’ll definitely lose.”

“They just got lucky, that’s all. How could they possibly compare to the Humphrey family’s Treasure Mansion in judging stones?”

“That’s right, good luck won’t always favor you.”

“Spencer Burley, you better pray for more blessings!”

The words of several rich second-generation kids made Nathan Humphrey’s face look much better.

He looked at Spencer Burley and sneered, “So, Spencer Burley, do you want to admit defeat?”

“Admit defeat to your grandpa, do you deserve it?”

Spencer Burley sneered and turned to look at Greg Jensen.

Having produced a glass type from the first stone, his confidence soared, and he boldly said, “Big Brother Greg, which one shall we open next?”

Seeing Spencer Burley’s demeanor, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but smile. After hesitating for a moment, he moved the third chosen stone over, handed it to the stone cutter master, and said:

“Master, peel off a layer of skin from this stone first.”

“Yes, of course.”

The stone cutter master did not dare to delay; he had misjudged earlier, but then they had produced a piece of glass type jade. If he talked big and misjudged again, it would be embarrassing.

As the stone cutter master started cutting the stone again, everyone fell silent, watching the cutting machine with tense faces.

In that moment, within the vast warehouse, only the buzzing sound of the machinery could be heard.

Everyone held their breath, eager to see what could be produced from this stone.

Soon, a layer of the stone’s surface was sliced off by the cutting machine.

A few faint spots of green appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“My God, Ice Species Sun Green!”

“Damn, they’ve struck it rich again?”

The rich second-generation kids’ gazes towards Greg Jensen changed.

Just now, they thought that Greg Jensen’s production of the glass type was purely a fluke, but now he had struck it rich again with the second stone.

Not only was the texture excellent, but the color was also outstanding.

You have to understand, in ancient times, colorless jade was hardly worn by anyone as it was practically worthless.

Back then, when people chose jade, they looked not only at the texture but also at the color of the jade.

No matter how good the texture was, if the color was not attractive, nobody wanted it.

In modern times, with the continuous depletion of jade resources, colorless jade gradually became popular, but that was just a matter of necessity.

That’s why colored jade now has a higher price than before!

Greg Jensen’s piece of ice-type jade was much more valuable than Nathan Humphrey’s.

Seeing this, Spencer Burley was so excited he almost jumped up, gloating to Nathan Humphrey, “The first stone, one might say it was luck, but what about the second? Is it still just luck?”

Adrian Wright also looked at the rich second-generation kids and sneered, “Didn’t you just say that Big Brother Greg produced the glass type purely by luck? What do you say now?”

The group of rich second-generations felt extremely awkward, having just said that Greg Jensen’s production of the glass type was due to luck, only for their claim to be refuted so quickly.

And the slap was so hard, it practically swelled their faces!

“Old Zhang, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

Nathan Humphrey’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, coldly staring at Master Zhang.

Old Zhang trembled, awkwardly saying, “Well… there are so many stones, perhaps there was an oversight.”

“I… damnit…”

Nathan Humphrey was so angry he wanted to curse, but Old Zhang was a veteran in their family and, as the young master, he couldn’t be too harsh.

He could only vent all his anger on the stone cutter master.

” What are you staring at? Are you waiting for me to personally cut the last stone?”
