Chapter 29: Must Raise the Knife! (Pitifully Begging for Bookmarks!)

  He leaned in close to Zhou Desheng's ear and whispered, "I opened a small window on the wool fabric, took a look inside, but for safety reasons I stuck it back. Hehe..."

  When he heard this, Zhou De Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Good method, really good method."

  "This time I'm leaving, let's meet again if fate permits." Lin Yue said as he was about to call over the stone movers he had hired.

  "Wait a minute." Zhou Desheng stopped Lin Yue again: "Last time you didn't leave your contact information, until now I only know your name, this time you have to leave it behind?"

  Lin Yue made a gesture of touching his pocket and smiled bitterly: "I still don't have business cards."

  "Don't worry about this, I've got paper and pen ready." As he spoke, Zhou Desheng signaled to his bodyguard to bring out a fine steel pen and notebook: "Write it down on that."

  Lin Yue looked at the stylish pen in front of him and sighed, thinking that rich people just like to have different tastes, isn't it enough to be useful, why make it so fancy.

  He picked up his pen and wrote down his name and contact information on the notebook, then handed it over to Zhou De Sheng.

  Zhou Desheng took it and looked at it, praising: "Your handwriting is good, strong and powerful, you must have worked hard."

  "After practicing for a few years, I haven't achieved anything remarkable," Lin Yuezhen said modestly.

  "How come you always like to be modest about everything?" Zhou De Sheng asked with a smile.

  "Then why do you always exaggerate and boast about everything?" Lin Yue also said with a smile.

  An old man and a young boy looked at each other and burst out laughing together.

  After Lin Yue walked away, Zhou De Sheng went to the place where Lin Yue was deciphering the stone and picked up the broken stones on the ground. As a result, he didn't find any stone pieces that were later pasted on, they were all naturally grown, and there was no damaged area at all.

  "This kid cheated me." Zhou Desheng smiled wryly to himself: "He must have his own special methods. To learn the technique of betting on stones from Feicui Wanghe in just one glance, it's really impressive. It seems that Feicui Wanghe is indeed famous for a reason. There are many young talents this year, and Wanghe's grandson isn't bad either. Plus this apprentice, and several other young people... if they all get together, it'll be lively. Heh heh..."

  After Lin Yue walked away, the news that he had bought two hundred and fifty thousand yuan worth of wool had spread throughout the streets of Tengchong, big and small. This matter was seen by many people, so it was passed on vividly. The two hundred and fifty thousand yuan was the price offered by Old Gao, which was roughly the same as the actual price of jade, so everyone talked about the two hundred and fifty thousand yuan instead of the final transaction price of two hundred thousand yuan.

  He first won 400,000 yuan with a bet of 50 yuan. Then he helped a mentally ill person who had been ignored on Jade Stone Street for nine years and obtained preferential rights and a Tongchong recognition card. Next, he bought a piece of cracked wool fabric for 1.2 million yuan and finally took out the wool fabric to reveal a winning bet of 2.5 million yuan in public. Each event was enough to shock Tongchong Jade Stone Street for several days, but all these events happened within a few days and occurred to a young man, making Lin Yue a celebrity on Tongchong Jade Stone Street, a celebrity who had not yet been defeated by gambling.

  At this moment, Lin Yue also began to show his head in the gambling stone world and had a small reputation.

  Lin Yue sent the jade back to the hotel and lay on the bed, smiling foolishly. He was now a millionaire too. He didn't plan to unwrap this piece of jade for now, he would do it after returning to Kunming. The jade unwrapped in the past two days were all sold to Zhou De Sheng, which wasn't good for Rong Le Xuan. Rong Le Xuan also needed good jade for processing, and selling this 50 million worth of jade to him after returning was like helping a family member, after all, "the water from one's own well shouldn't be used to irrigate someone else's fields".

  Adding the 800,000 check Zhou De Sheng gave him today, he now has a total of 10.9 million on him, making him a multimillionaire. However, when he thinks about the 50-million-worth jadeite, being a multimillionaire doesn't seem like much anymore; it's like looking down at a one-story building from a two-story or even three-story building - how low.

  Until night, Lin Yue did not go out. The purpose of this trip to Tengchong for gambling on jade had been achieved, and with these 50 million yuan worth of goods, the trip was worthwhile. In the afternoon and evening, he practiced splitting incense in his room, directly skipping eight and nine sticks to challenge ten sticks. Wanting to persist from five sticks to six sticks absolutely requires a certain amount of accumulation and breakthrough of limits, so he must challenge himself.

  When he reached the ninth root, his arm had that numb and sore feeling again, after which he completely lost all sense of touch, the entire motion becoming a mechanical and numb swing.

  Lin Yue clenched his teeth and endured the swelling pain and unbearable weight in his arm, until he finished splitting the ninth log, when he felt like he was about to collapse. Every strike felt like a million years, every bit of agony was crystal clear, torturing his nerves which were stretched taut, as if they might snap at any moment.

  There is still one!

  Lin Yue gritted his teeth and told himself that his entire right arm was no longer usable, he dragged his feet slowly towards the place where the incense was burning, then used his left hand to take out the incense with difficulty, and then found a lighter to light it. Because his left hand was very clumsy, the lighter took several tries before it lit up, and even after it did, it went out again without touching the incense. Lin Yue spent a long time trying to get the incense lit.

  Then Lin Yue slowly returned to his original position. Standing still, Lin Yue took a deep breath, he knew that now he couldn't rest, the more he rested, the lazier he would become, and it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to finish or even lift the tenth knife, let alone lie down on the bed, once he lay down on the bed, he wouldn't be able to get up again.

  Lin Yue tried to lift his numb right arm, but as soon as he moved it a little, a severe muscle soreness and the pain of muscles tightening around nerves simultaneously pierced into his brain, making him involuntarily grunt.

  It hurts so much.

  Lin Yue's mouth twitched with a wry smile, and for the first time, he clearly felt such intense pain.

  Should we give up now?

  No, can't!

  Lin Yue felt that today was an opportunity, and it was also a good chance to defeat himself again. He couldn't give up, even if he fainted halfway through, he still had to hold his sword!

  Must take up the knife!

  Lin Yuezhi let out a wild beast-like roar from his throat.

  "Ah——"

  Lin Yue endured inhuman suffering, slowly lifting his arm, he no longer had the strength to lift it up with a single breath, he could only use endurance to counter pain and tenacity to counter torture.

  "Rise——"

  Lin Yue let out a low growl, gritted his teeth and slowly raised his arm above the horizontal line, reaching the position where he would fall. His nerves were taut, not relaxing for a moment, knowing that if he relaxed, all his efforts would be in vain.
