He just omitted this matter, on the one hand because he is not a show-off person, and on the other hand because he was afraid that his master would scold him for being a spendthrift, having spent 300,000 yuan without making much money. In addition to the previous total of 560,000 yuan, this is simply faster than a spendthrift spending money. In order to give himself a clear conscience and not make He Lao angry, he could only conceal this matter.

  "You said this matter, it's a small thing, so I didn't tell you." Lin Yue could only laugh awkwardly at his master and try to brush it off.

  "Haha, no big deal, 3 million won't be a small amount for you, right? Don't pretend with me, someone called me this afternoon and told me everything about you."

  "Who?" Lin Yue asked without thinking.

  The first person to enter Lin's mind was He Youzang, but he immediately denied it. He Youzang didn't know anything about this matter, and even if he did, he wouldn't have known so clearly. The second person was Qin Zonghan, but would Qin Zonghan recognize He Lao? For a moment, Lin didn't dare to confirm.

  "You don't need to worry about this, I'm asking you if you have a gold card with your name printed on the front and a jade pattern with the words 'Tengchong' on the back?"

  "How did you know?" Lin Yue asked, and then he couldn't help but bitterly smile. Isn't this obvious? Someone must have told He Lao everything.

  "Never mind how I know, I have more connections in the gambling world than you've ever seen. Let me ask you, do you know what that card is for?" At this point, He Chang's voice was already filled with excitement.

  "I don't know." Lin Yue replied succinctly, thinking that the privilege of buying discounted woolen goods in Tengchong should not be within the scope of this card, and Qin Zonghan didn't tell him about the card's function either.

  "Ah, looks like the people from Tencent are still quite rule-abiding. If it weren't for someone telling you, you wouldn't have known about this matter even after a few years. Luckily, I'm the one who told you, kid. You're really lucky this time, others can't even step on dog shit. Haha......" He Chang and burst out laughing loudly over the phone, his laughter filled with relief and admiration. Originally, he still wanted to talk about serious matters, but as soon as he mentioned this matter, he couldn't hold back his excitement and burst out laughing.

  Lin Yue also burst out laughing, He Chang and said it too bluntly. "Stepping on dog shit" was uttered so naturally by a sixty-year-old man that it was quite amusing.

  He Chang and Xiao Wan suppressed the excitement in their hearts, restored their voices to normal, and said: "This matter is a long story. Do you know how the title 'King of Jade' was obtained?"

  He Changhe's recovery made Lin Yue also become serious, he knew that the following words must be of great importance, thought for a moment and replied: "I heard people say when I was interpreting the stone before, it seems to get the recognition of the fellow practitioners in the gambling stone world."

  "That's right, you know what it means to acknowledge?"

  What is considered recognition?

  Lin Yue didn't know, he hadn't heard of it before, and the person who said this at that time wasn't clear either.

  Why ask this question?

  Lin Yue was somewhat perplexed, and suddenly a flash of insight appeared in his mind, his whole body shook violently, and his face revealed a look of shock and incredulity.

  Could it be...

  He grasped his phone tightly and asked excitedly: "Is this card a token of acknowledgement?"

  As soon as he spoke, Lin Yue discovered that his voice was trembling with excitement beyond control.

  "That's right, so you little brat stepped on dog shit, haha..." He Changhe's mood had just entered a state of being suppressed and was once again disrupted.

  Really.

  This is true!

  Lin Yue's entire body was trembling with excitement.

  The title of "Jade King" that many gamblers dream of has unexpectedly become a recognized symbol for him.

  A few months ago, at the Zhangji Processing Workshop in Cang County, I saw Wang Yidao's physique, and at that time, he had an admiring and excited expression. He used to admire other people's demeanor, listening to Feicui Wang's legendary stories of gambling on stones, but today he has obtained a symbol of recognition from Feicui Wang himself.

  Like carving, the Jade King was also his dream, a dream that could never come true.

  Carving can still move step by step, but the King of Jade is like a legend, a distant legend that can only be heard in others' mouths, occasionally glimpsing the elegance of the King of Jade.

  This dream, like the carving, had been deeply buried in his heart. Unexpectedly, while he was realizing his carving dream, this dream was casually mentioned by someone, and the content of the mention turned out to be a recognition of his title as the Jade King.

  Is good fortune arriving?

  Lin Yue's life over the past few months has been like a wonderfully beautiful dream, and today this dream reached a beautiful climax, as if it could shatter at any moment. This made him dare not believe that it was real, he feared that once everything turned out to be fake, he would not be able to withstand the collapse.

  He Changhe's words were like a splash of cold water that suddenly awakened Lin Yue: "You little brat, are you very excited now? Hmph! It's too early to be excited, do you think it's that easy to become the King of Jade?"

  Lin Yue couldn't help but let out a loud "ah" and immediately snapped back to reality from his excitement.

  The gap is still very big!

  Lin Yue's mouth curled up in a bitter smile as he thought of what his master, Chang Tai, had told him a few days ago: that learning to carve required calming one's mind, and practicing carving was no exception. But just now, he had fallen into an inexplicable state of excitement.

  Mental cultivation is still not enough.

  Carving requires a calm mind, the state of an ancient well without ripples requires a calm mind, and gambling on stones also requires a calm mind. Only in this way can you not miss any details.

  I'm still far from being good enough.

  Lin Yue knew that his master He Chang and although he looked hot-tempered and careless, but was actually meticulous. Once he encountered jade or porcelain that required concentration, he immediately became a different person, extremely serious and not joking around, similar to his calm and peaceful state like an ancient well with no ripples.

  The road ahead is still very long.

  Lin Yuezong sighed and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for your teachings."

  He Changhe detected the calmness and respect in Lin Yue's tone, so he said contentedly: "Well, not bad, you're still teachable. I was really worried that you'd lose yourself in this aspect. A false reputation can be fatal, but having a goal for a false reputation is good too. At least it gives you some motivation."

  He paused for a moment, continuing the topic of the Jade King: "Wanting to become the Jade King is not as simple as you think. The gambling stone community is not just Tengchong, but also Kunming, Ruili, Yingjiang, Guangdong Pingzhou, and Myanmar Yangon. To become the Jade King, you need to get the recognition of the five places' gambling stone communities, that is, you need to get five cards with the names of the five places printed on them. Just getting the recognition card is not enough, you also need to go to Myanmar Yangon to withstand the test of the previous generation's Jade King, and only then can you be considered to have obtained the title of Jade King."
