Instead, Gong Zhiwen breathed deeply. He was still feeling a little dejected. Regardless of how much of a wastrel Young Master Dali was, an ice-type piece of jade of such superior quality would definitely be kept for himself. Besides, something worth two to three hundred million yuan wouldn’t be gifted to someone so easily.

Unexpectedly, such a massive piece of jade worth tremendous value had instead caused Hong Dali to feel disappointed. “This isn’t good, really disheartening…” All he saw was what was cut—a mere large piece of +6 Health gem.

Did he have a use for a piece of Health gem? That did not have a single use for him! Hence, Hong Dali sniffled and glanced at Gong Zhiwen. “I don’t have much use for this. I’ll gift this to you, Uncle Gong, as a gift for our first meeting.”

“Aye?!” Upon hearing Hong Dali’s words, everyone present knelt down…

“My heart… I can’t stand this. Let’s energize ourselves down there!” With a plop, someone jumped down again…

“This… really… you’re really gifting it to me?” Gong Zhiwen’s mouth was agape. Honestly speaking, he was quite happy. At the same time, he was a little worried. It seemed like this large piece of jade was really only an ordinary one. Otherwise, if the jade was of superior quality like the one used in Director Hong’s smoking pipe, Hong Dali probably wouldn’t be so generous.

“Yes. Uncle Gong, you are a good friend of my father’s. Just treat it as me being filial towards you.” Hong Dali grinned without a care in the world.

It was as if what he just gifted was just a large brick.

“Sure enough, just like they say, there’ll only be benefits by following Young Master!” Tears trailed down Gong Zhiwen’s face.

Regardless, even though this piece of jade’s attribute was useless to Hong Dali, it was worth a lot of money to others. Gong Zhiwen walked over with a face full of surprise before stretching out his hand to touch it. Aiya, such a big piece of ice-type jade was his. With a good refinement, it would be pretty good…

His hand had just touched the jade when he became momentarily stunned. “Aye? Aye?! This… this is…”

Gong Zhiwen only felt a warmth against his hand. A refreshing and invigorating feeling traveled up his arm to his brain. It was as if he was originally drenched with sweat from a summer day but brought into an air conditioned room suddenly, as refreshing as eating a slice of frozen watermelon!

The feeling was the same as Director Hong’s mysterious smoking pipe! It was basically the same!

However, how big was Hong Weiguo’s smoking pipe? It was only a few centimeters long.

Yet, this piece of ice-type jade was close to two tons! Close to two tons!

If it was refined, how many smoking pipes could it produce? An ocean, this time an amount equivalent to an ocean could be earned!

Everyone marveled at Hong Dali’s splurge. Such a big piece of ice-type jade was gifted away like it was just a piece of brick. It seemed like Hong Dali was obviously getting ready to cut the next stone. Anyway, this entire boat of stones was Hong Dali’s!

“Ah, just a piece of stone.” Hong Dali grinned, completely disregarding it. He pointed to a lackey next to him and said, “Continue. Let’s cut the next one.”

This time, his target was focused on a piece of uncut stone that was approximately 350 to 400 kilograms. “This round, let’s do this one. Dig a few hammer-fulls, let’s see if there’s anything good inside!”

“Alright!” The lackey, Li Yang, held the big hammer and licked his lips excitedly.

The feeling of using the big hammer to smash away at the rock was too invigorating. He simply couldn’t stop!

The first stone revealed an ice-type jade approximately two tons in weight. It was actually nothing much. Hong Dali’s good luck was well-known to them. However, nobody had come across someone who casually gifted it away.

Hence, everyone had gathered around and looked on with eager eyes. They stared at the piece of jade in front of them. The first ice-type jade, what good things could be created from this?

“Big hammer, go!” Hong Dali snapped his finger loudly. Hence, Li Yang, the lackey whose name was casually changed to Great Hammer Li, carried the great hammer and rushed forward. Spitting his hands twice, he said, “Ptui! Ptui! Young Lord, I’ll begin!”

As he said so, he raised the large hammer and pounded furiously at the stone. After a short while, the stonecutter exclaimed, “It’s green! It’s green!” Upon hearing the stonecutter’s voice, everyone “Oh-ed” in unison. Everyone’s eyes were wide as they awaited what good thing this stone would produce.

The stonecutter held a magnifying glass in his hand and looked back and forth for a while. The more he looked, the softer his voice became. “This… maybe… perhaps… vaguely… it can be considered valuable…”

Gong Zhiwen asked urgently, “What exactly is it, tell us!”

“Huaqing.” The stonecutter was pretty regretful. “The texture is a little rough. It’s not as valuable as the first.”

“F*ck!” Gong Zhiwen cursed. “It’s enough just for one jade to be produced. Otherwise, you expect every piece to be an ice-type jade?!” After scolding the stonecutter, Gong Zhiwen looked towards Hong Dali obsequiously. He said as he laughed, “Young Master Dali, don’t listen to him spout nonsense. This Huaqing is worth a lot of money as well. Anyway, it’ll definitely earn a lot.”

“Oh, I’m aware that this is rubbish.” Hong Dali looked towards Yang Chao, whose neck was stretched long. “Brother Chao, I’ll gift this to you.” *A piece with Agility +4, I’ll just gift this away decisively! *

Look, another piece of jade gifted away casually! Even if it were a Huaqing with a slightly rough texture, it was still a big piece…

That group of second-generation rich young masters accompanying Yang Chao were definitely nouveau riches. Usually, they spent 1.8 million yuan without even batting an eye. However, in comparison to Hong Dali…

Quite a few second-generation young masters were about to throw themselves onto Hong Dali’s thighs. “God-level Nouveau Riche, be friends with us!”

“Oh, alright.” Hong Dali sniffled. “Anyway, there are so many stones here. Since everyone likes them, I’ll gift some to you… Oh right, let me make myself clear. Whatever I give to you, it’s yours. Whatever I don’t, nobody can snatch it!”

“Understood!” The group of nouveau riches looked at Hong Dali, this God-level nouveau riche, with eyes full of admiration.

“Continue, continue!” Gong Zhiwen looked at Hong Dali. His gaze was as if he was the most devoted disciple looking at his own God. He said humbly, “Young Master Dali, shall we continue?”

“Yes, continue!” Hong Dali snapped his finger loudly once more. “Big hammer, continue hammering. There are so many rocks. Finish hammering quickly so we can have lunch.” Hong Dali said as he glanced at Gong Zhiwen, Yang Chao, and the others. “My family’s Xiao Bai caught a few giant squids from the bottom of the ocean this morning. Those things are allegedly delicious.”

Gong Zhiwen: “…” Yang Chao: “…” CEO Zhou that just returned from the ocean: “…” Everyone else: “…”

The shark that Young Master Dali was raising could even bring its owner squid to eat!

Hence, Lackey Li Yang, who was currently Great Hammer Li, struck the stones continuously and furiously. Some of the rocks were practically pounded into powder, yet there were no hints of green on them. After two strikes, some rocks showed hints of green so quickly that the stonecutter shouted loudly from the side, “It’s green, it’s green!” Ice-type, Youqing, Bingnuo, Huaqing, so on and so forth. CEO Zhou watching from the side had already passed away more than twenty times. Just from the current amount of stones hammered that was not even half of the total, the amount of jade produced could be sold for at least 500 to 600 million yuan. There was still more than half leftover there…

If I had known it would be like this, I would have cut them myself!

Fortunately, Hong Dali was still pretty generous. He tossed a large piece of ice-type jade to him, approximately worth 60 million yuan.

It comforted his hurting small heart a little…

At that moment, everyone present was filled with great joy. How could they not be when practically everyone was given a jade of quite good quality. The cheaper ones were approximately a few million, while the better ones were approximately 20 to 30 million yuan. The remainder were gifted to Gong Zhiwen for refinement. Anyway, he was dad’s ally, giving more was right!

However, although others were extremely excited, Hong Dali was a little depressed.

Such a large pile of uncut stones, roughly a hundred pieces with exactly 34 producing jade pieces. However, that wasn’t important. What was important was that among the 34 pieces of jade, there wasn’t even one Energy gem!

The majority were Power, Agility, and Reaction gems, while the minority were Health gems.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single Energy gem!

“Why are they all rubbish.” Hong Dali immediately pointed to the next batch. “Large hammer, go!”

Everyone rushed forward. Since almost everyone received a piece of jade, they were too embarrassed to ask for more from Hong Dali. Besides, they had the mindset of watching a good show. Today was a real eye-opener, such a situation would not be encountered again for the rest of their lives!

This time, for the remaining stones, Great Hammer Li continued to strike and pound furiously!

The first piece had a Strength +4, Bingnuo type, with a weight of approximately 500 kilograms. The second piece, Huaqing type, with a weight of approximately 300 kilograms—rubbish, gifted away. The third piece, Agility +4, Youqing type, with a weight of approximately 100 kilograms—rubbish, gifted away…

At this moment, everyone around Hong Dali looked at him like he was a God. According to the legends, stone-gambling resulted in losses most of the time. Young Master Dali was instead doing great. Like plucking out Chinese cabbage from the roadside, he could produce jade from whatever stone he cut. He was simply a deity!

“Why isn’t it out yet?” Hong Dali muttered, “Are there any?”

At this moment, there was only one piece left on the freighter. It looked like it was approximately three tons in weight, the largest uncut stone. If this piece of uncut stone did not contain an Energy gem, then there would be none.

Reaching such a stage, Hong Dali started feeling a little nervous as well. *Goddess of Mercy, Buddha, Jesus, God, Amen… Regardless of whether you exist in the world or not, you have to bless me! *

After a simple prayer, Hong Dali pointed to Great Hammer Li. “Large hammer, go!”

“Alright!” Great Hammer Li raised the hammer and pounded furiously. After a short while, the stonecutter shouted, “It’s green! It’s green!”

Such a large piece of uncut stone and it was green. What kind of superior level jade was it?!

Everyone craned their necks and watched as the stone was revealed. Ultimately, Li Yang pounded a few more times before the stonecutter widened his eyes. “This… this is… Glass type! This is the Glass type!”
