I See Luck
Corned

Just as Mo Chu was about to speak, the people watching the stone gambling began to draped, the impatientness to listen to the expert's explanation drawing their full attention.

“Have you ever seen a rock like this? Stones that have a rare mineral content usually have a color that is not too dark, the surface will feel fragile and easily leave a pattern when exposed to impact.”

“Persis like the stone I chose,” explained Mo Chu.

Everyone immediately stared in admiration at the Old Man, with their sparkling eyes and gaping mouths. Nodding the heads of the people signifies that they make the talk of Old Man Mo as a benchmark.

“The outer part is softened because of the minerals absorbed into its center, it makes something called the core harden, and even rare minerals are born from it.”

“So like that, if Mr Mo has said so it must be true, right?” respond to an audience.

The others did not doubt that either and innocently they nodded. “Not wrong anymore. We have to believe in Mr. Mo's observation, he can't possibly be wrong in this.”

“True, he's the only expert we know.”

Of course Mo Chu's ears bloomed after hearing those compliments, a soft look on his lips, and he glanced at Chao Fengyin.

“Switch..., How, did you get the new you were looking for? I hope the new you choose can be as good as my stone of choice, Haha.”

‘Although that will not be possible,’ Old Man Mo added in his mind.

Chao Fengyin returned a petty look aimed at him, without the slightest sense of trepidation. “Master Organizer..., I have found the stone I was looking for,” Fengyin told Ling Zhi.

The young man revealed a stone that was only the size of one fist, clearly everyone looked on in confusion.

“Fengyin..., you can just take my stone, after all this stone I hold was chosen by you, so..”.

“No Miss Liu..., that is your stone,” reply Fengyin pushed the stone that Mayleen thrust towards her. “The stone I chose is really this, and I am very sure there is something in it,” the young man added.

Seeing that Fengyin was firm on his stance to choose that small-sized stone made Mo Chu unable to bear to continue laughing, the old man was completely frowned upon seeing what Fengyin was holding.

“Hahaha! Young man, it's just a rock that's a little bigger than an egg. What can you find in it? Fossilized mango seeds?” mo Chu said with the intention of ridiculing and discouraging Fengyin.

“Hahaha, how dare you challenge me but look what you are capable of, taking a stone that does not have any characteristics as a result.., You really grew up with sheer nonsense.”.

Fengyin's face instantly reddened, her brows furrowing in annoyance followed by her two tightly clenched hands. Mo Chu did not even know how Fengyin was raised, but he instead offended that.

As a child abandoned by both parents since he was still in elementary school, and abandoned by the Grandmother who was the only Fengyin family left, he said, clearly Mo Chu's words that didn't know anything had hurt his heart.

With his tightly clenched hand Fengyin swore, ‘I will humiliate the person, drop his pride all the way down, and make him who confidently looked up haughtily to bow his head all the way.’

‘I'll shut up her mouth that doesn't know anything, until she can't offend anyone else anymore. I swear!’

Fengyin approached Ling Zhi and asked once more, could he have the stone?

Because the size of the stone chosen by Fengyin was too small, Ling Zhi as the organizer had difficulty determining the price. He did not even know how such a small stone was on his trading table.

“Young man..., It was just a stone I accidentally put in due to a sorting error, are you sure you want to have it?” ask Ling Zhi.

Fengyin nodded his head confidently, the green color he saw from the stone shone more than the other stones on the trading table. Of course there's something special in it.

As for the stone that Mo Chu was so proud of, Fengyin looked...,

‘Absolute mistake for him.’

Fengyin shook the hand of the Organizer Judi Batu while smiling, “I feel very fair with the price.”

Two stones had been chosen by each participant, the people were already waiting impatiently, they wanted to see who would win the bet. Though they were all already so certain that Mo Chu would come out victorious.

Something that the spectators were really waiting for was the moment that Fengyin lost due to his arrogance challenging a Senior, people were waiting to humiliate him.

“Young man, you can ask for your stone to be dismantled first,” bargain Mo Chu with a single smile.

“No Mr Mo, the people here have been waiting to see the appearance of a treasure, doesn't that mean you have to dismantle it first? Even if you believe there is a treasure,” reply Fengyin smiled in the same way.

‘Badness,’ in Mo Chu's heart.

“Please unload my stone first!” exclaim Mo Chu.

The stone was immediately transported and placed under a dividing device, bringing the curiosity of the people closer to see what was to come.

“I believe this time Mr. Mo must have found the jade again.”

“Of course, there is still no record stating Mr. Mo's mistake in choosing the stone, this time he will also find a treasure. I'm sure!”

Many thought so, except for Fengyin who had already seen clearly before the stone was dismantled. ‘There is no record stating his mistake in choosing a stone? Then this will be his first record,’ Fengyin said in his mind.

The disc wheel on the dividing device turned, its sharp jagged tip began to scrape the stone of Mr. Mo's choice. That confident smile was shown by the Old Man, he waited as he ruffled his waist arrogantly.

“The stone looks soft as Mr Mo said, it eroded easily.”

“We will see treasure this time!”

‘Of course you will see, after the machine splits the stone to the middle, the machine will stop because it hits a hard precious stone. You will be surprised,’ thought Mr. Mo.

But in reality, the old man was surprised, the machine split the stone into two parts, and there was no trace of rare minerals anywhere except limestone.

Mo Chu immediately approached to check, surely with a panicked face this time around.

“No, this is not true. There must be an error in the cutting process!” sergeant Mo Chu.

“Master Mo.., I've cut it properly,” said Stone Cutting Officer.

“If you cut it properly, how could its Glorious Mineral still not be seen?” Mo Chu said it with overflowing emotions.

“Ehem! Am I allowed to interrupt? Mr. Mo.., I think that Uncle in charge of cutting stones is not guilty of this. Precisely I assume what happened was your negligence,” interrupted Fengyin.

“What did you say?!”

“As an expert you should tell the stone pulse place first before letting that Uncle start cutting it. If the stone pulse has been found, of course the hidden Rare Minerals will be seen when the stone begins to cut.”

“Master Mo..., Now show me where the stone pulse is.”

Chao Fengyin smiled, seeing the young man say something that Mo Chu was unable to understand made the Old Man sweat.

“An expert can definitely find it easily, right?” insist Fengyin.

For the first time, even a Mo Chu was cornered.
