Chapter 201 - As though something had exploded, her world went dark around her. (2)

She smiled brightly at her. “Sure, let’s extract a few for the fun of it then.”

Then, casually she said, “Extracting the gems alone can be boring. Why don’t we have a wager too?”

Bai Shiyuan frowned and had a bad feeling. Fang JunRong looked very confident. Why was it that made her so confident in herself?

Nevertheless, she looked over at the experts standing next to her and, once again, felt that she had nothing to worry about. She said, “Sure, what would you like to wager?”

Fang JunRong said casually, “How about 2 million yuan?”

A perfect amount as a reward for XunYin and Zhou Yi. Both of them did pretty well during their final examinations.

That was an amount that Bai Shiyuan could afford, even though it would hurt a little. No, wait. Why would she be hurting? For sure she would not lose. She would only gain the money.

She picked the three most expensive ones to be extracted on the spot. Then, looking over to Fang JunRong, she seemed to have three picked out just randomly.

Duchess Capet, who loved herself a good show, decided to stay behind instead of going back to rest up at her hotel as she had originally planned.

The first one that Bai Shiyuan had the master worked on was the one that she had paid 130 million yuan for; the one that she was most confident about.

Her confident look, nevertheless, was completely gone a few hours later.

She looked at the rock in disbelief. There was only a thin layer of green on the surface of the rock and the layer was so thin that it was pathetic. It almost looked like it was just there for decoration purposes. Nevermind a bracelet, it wasn’t even enough to make a ring out of it. She could turn it into a few beads at most, if she was lucky.

Under the light, everybody else could see what was underneath. The jade was not pure at all and could only be made into cheap jewelries.

An estimated price for a rock like this was hundreds of thousand dollars at most. As the trade jargon goes, it was a complete flop.

Bai Shiyuan almost fainted remembering how much she had paid for it.

“Impossible. This is impossible…”

Bai Shiyuan, who had insisted on paying an astronomical amount for this piece mumbled repeatedly.

When she turned to look at Fang JunRong’s rock, her eyes almost turned red from what she was looking at.

The first one of Fang JunRong that was extracted was of a rare violet type. Of the violet types that she had seen in the past, most of them were of poor quality. This one, on the other hand, was a rare dark violet. It was mysterious and elegant under the light. The master who had extracted the gem was mesmerized by it.

“I have never seen such pure violet color before, especially for a glass type.

“If you are to auction this raw gem off, you could probably fetch hundreds of millions.”

There were many other spectators in addition to Duchess Capet. Looking at the stark contrast between the two rocks, they couldn't help but lament that betting on rocks was certainly very metaphysical. Experiences count but lucky is equally important.

Bai Shiyuan had with her a team of expert and they still made a mistake. Fang JunRong, who had casually won this piece, paying just 1 million yuan. The rate that she had profited from it made others envious.

Duchess Capet, tempted by what she was seeing, decided to have one of hers extracted as well.

All of the mocking looks only agitated Bai Shiyuan even more. She babbled, “We still have two more to go!”

That was right. She hasn’t lost entirely yet. They were competing three times! No matter how amazing Fang JunRong’s first rock was, that only count as one win.

She tried hard not to look over at Fang JunRong’s violet glass jadeite as she didn’t want to find herself rushing over there trying to take it away from Fang JunRong.

What happened after that was completed unexpected to Bai Shiyuan. Even those around could hear the sound of Bai Shiyuan’s face being slapped repeatedly.
