If you do, pick one now and cut out some jade for me to see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Jun also looked towards Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dongzi, do you really understand rough stones? If you do, help me cut one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t completed his task yet and hoped to carve a jade Buddha statue as a birthday gift for his Grandma by cutting the rough stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their gaze to Lin Dong; seeing how accurately he had picked the top-grade rough stones, they all thought he was a great ability in the jade betting circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Dong just shrugged his shoulders and said, “I really don’t understand rough stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not even the color and quality level of the stone…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, I told you so. You don’t understand at all, just a blind cat running into a dead mouse!” Huang Jie sneered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I might not understand, but I won’t play the fool like you. Doesn’t that mean you’re even worse than me, a beginner?” Lin Dong spread his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Huang Jie’s face flushed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, not understanding doesn’t mean I can’t cut out good stone material…” Lin Dong took a turn in his reply, speaking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon this statement, everyone could tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong was indeed preparing to take a gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, everyone was highly anticipative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Dong insisted that he didn’t understand stone gambling, no one believed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like at the beginning when Lin Dong said those two top-grade raw stones were scrap, now no one believed him when he said he wasn’t into jade gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Han also felt that Lin Dong was being modest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t it like how he said he couldn’t race cars before, and yet he won afterwards?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dongzi, show Huang Jie’s dog eyes what a real Golden Eye is!” Tang Han revealed her fangs, clenched her little fists, and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Lin Dong scanned the pile of rough stones on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many rough stones were left unbid due to their poor appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Lin Dong had discovered a piece of top-grade rough stone among these ‘scraps’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in Lin Dong’s view, the jade inside was of high quality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, due to its age, the jade had even developed some spiritual energy. This type of jade was most suitable for making jade amulets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, seeing Lin Dong staring at a large stone that was pitted and even cracked on its pitch-black surface, Huang Jie couldn’t help but laughingly said:“You’re not seriously thinking of buying that one, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong nodded, “How is that? Not possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…” Hearing this, Huang Jie couldn’t help but sneer, “You really don’t understand rough stones. That big stone doesn’t have even a trace of green moss on it, and you can see the greyish white inside through the cracks on its surface, which is commonly known as scrap stone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And it’s the lowest kind of scrap, just some stall’s goods, meant to dupe those laymen who know nothing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone present who knew about jade gambling was nodding their heads, agreeing with what Huang Jie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong, not wanting to waste words with him, asked, “How much for this rough stone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wholesale price, fifty cents per pound!” The man in charge of selling the rough stones said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then weigh it for me!” Lin Dong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sneered, “You really want this one? It’s not because it’s cheap, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But cheap stuff isn’t good quality. Even if the stone is cheap, you still have to pay for cutting. And cutting isn’t cheap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong gave him a disdainful look, “Cut the crap and weigh it already!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the man revealed a mocking smile and said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen such a fool; so many stone gambling experts had professionally told him this was scrap, and yet he was still insistent on buying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Huang Shao was right; the previous two pieces of top-grade raw stones were really just a fluke when he blind cat happened into a dead mouse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone was soon weighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was actually a thousand pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it was only fifty cents a pound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This huge stone cost just a few hundred yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Dong paid, the cutting master said, “For cutting this kind of scrap, I calculate the fee by weight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five hundred yuan per pound for cutting fees!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hundred yuan a pound for over a thousand pounds—that would be over half a million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong waved his hand, “No need for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cutting master sneered, “Too expensive? I don’t even want to cut it for you! Cutting this kind of scrap would damage my reputation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Huang Jie wasn’t pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent 850 million, playing the fool. And now Lin Dong was only buying a stone worth a little over 500 yuan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it turned out to be a worthless stone, Lin Dong wouldn’t suffer much of a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes darted around as he provoked, “Kid, is that all the guts you have? If it’s stone betting, then do you dare to place a bigger bet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong said, “But I only want this stone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s another way to bet on stones,” Huang Jie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? What kind of betting?” Lin Dong asked with a semi-smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Betting with a wager. You claim there’s first-class jade inside this stone, right? Let’s bet on it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s really as you say, then I lose. If it’s a worthless stone, then you lose! How about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong laughingly said, “Okay, how large is the bet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jie’s eyes shifted again, and he immediately said, “If we’re betting, let’s make it big, don’t you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I think so too,” Lin Dong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about, let’s bet 850 million?” Huang Jie suggested, hoping to win back the money he lost playing the fool today from Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, isn’t that a bit too little? How about 8.5 billion!” Lin Dong astonishingly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… what did you say?” Even Huang Jie was startled upon hearing 8.5 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, don’t you dare?” Lin Dong retorted with a challenge of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… what wouldn’t I dare! If you dare, why wouldn’t I? I’m just worried you don’t have that much money!” Huang Jie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong laughingly said, “Wait for me to make a call!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he made a call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open a new account for me at Dragon Country Commercial Bank, and then transfer 8.5 billion into it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Yang Meng and Huang Jie, but even Tang Han and Tang Jun were wondering if Lin Dong was bluffing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s 8.5 billion we’re talking about!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wasn’t long before Lin Dong’s phone rang again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And someone had indeed opened a new account for him at Dragon Country Commercial Bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that account, there really was 8.5 billion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong provided the account details, directing Huang Jie to check it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jie rushed to verify, and after doing so, he completely lost his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… who exactly are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he started to feel afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that account really had 8.5 billion in it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person who could simply move 8.5 billion in cash flow with a phone call, that is a terrifyingly powerful individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But greed was also stirring in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to win that 8.5 billion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does it matter who I am? What’s important is, do you dare to bet with me? If you win, those 8.5 billion will be transferred directly into your account!” Lin Dong said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the spell of greed, Huang Jie didn’t care anymore about Lin Dong’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted loudly, “Fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll bet with you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll put my family’s assets as collateral, and bet with you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang family’s assets amounted to just over a hundred billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was practically betting all their wealth against Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they lost, the Huang family would be utterly ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if they won, possessing that 8.5 billion in cash flow would elevate the Huang family to a higher stage under Huang Jie’s leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dream of a trillion-yuan clan would no longer be a dream!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he was so excited he began trembling all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at that ‘worthless stone,’ and no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be just a worthless stone, unlikely to contain any jade, let alone first-class jade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was holding a winning ticket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m about to soar, our Huang family is about to soar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jie roared.\u003C\u002Fp>",1493,"2026-06-06T01:28:23.242Z",1,"novelbin.me","623cd18f51817b9b0fbcc0338d4c13787c07662d0f64de35babcb866adbce6e7","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-982","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-980",2938,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-cover.jpg"]
