Campus Cultivation Master-Chapter 11 - 00: Don’t Trick Me, I’m Not Well-Read

The rough stone was quickly unwrapped, and everyone saw the full picture of the jade inside.

As soon as the rough material was completely opened, knowledgeable people immediately gathered around.

"Whether it’s the water head or the quality, it’s both top-grade Furong Species, and it’s also mined from an old pit; its value is at least over a million."

Having hit Furong Species with a single cut was definitely a big win. President Wu was quite proud as he looked at Cui Jingyan, whose face had turned ashen, and maliciously thought to himself, "You bitch, you didn’t follow me when I asked. Now, wait and beg me on your knees."

After observing Cui Jingyan, President Wu turned to Chu Feng and said, "Now it’s your turn."

Chu Feng looked at Cui Jingyan and said, "Sister Yan, this time it’s my fault."

On hearing Chu Feng’s words, Cui Jingyan’s expression turned even more ashen.

President Wu suddenly became magnanimous and said to Chu Feng, "All you need to do is kneel and kowtow to admit your mistake, and I’ll act as if this bet never happened."

In a calm and composed manner, Chu Feng said, "The stone hasn’t been cut open yet. Nothing has been decided, so why the rush?"

President Wu laughed and said, "Fine! Since you won’t cry without seeing the coffin, I’ll indulge you. Let’s open up this piece and see what’s inside."

With the roaring sound of the machine, the large stone was swiftly cut open.

"It’s gone up! It’s gone up! There’s green!"

With a dazzling burst of green, everyone’s nerves tensed up.

Having opened two pieces of rough material that increased in value proved that this batch indeed contained something valuable, which also ignited the passion of these wealthy tycoons to try their luck.

"Ice Species! It’s actually High Ice Species!" An old man, almost lying on the machine, excitedly exclaimed.

When Cui Jingyan saw this dash of green, her mouth gaped open in shock, and when she saw the faint smile on Chu Feng’s face, she immediately realized he had known about it all along. He had been acting just to make a fool of President Wu.

Now, it was President Wu’s turn to turn ashen. The Ice Species was obviously much more valuable than his own Furong Species, and he was clearly utterly defeated.

But what President Wu couldn’t understand was how this could be when the expert he had brought had clearly stated that the Stone King contained nothing, and it was brought in just for the hype. How could it contain Ice Species, and High Ice Species at that?

Chu Feng looked at the old man who had just provided the quote to President Wu and was now leaning on the stone, and said, "How much is this worth? I need to calculate how much President Wu should owe me."

The old man glanced at President Wu, who had a sullen face, hesitated a bit, and said, "This Ice Species is indeed a bit more expensive than the Furong Species, and its value should be about one and a half million."

Chu Feng, sensing the old man was avoiding his gaze while speaking, immediately understood there was something fishy, and said, "Old man, I’m uneducated, so don’t you cheat me."

Blushing a bit, the old man said, "No, no!"

With a slight smile, Chu Feng said, "Old man, I’ve heard that you deal in jewelry. Since you’ve determined that this piece is worth one and a half million, I’ll bring people to your store tomorrow to shop around and buy all the Ice Species for one and a half million. Anything of lower quality, I’ll buy for less than one and a half million."

"This..."

The old man’s face immediately broke into a cold sweat upon hearing Chu Feng’s words.

If Chu Feng really did that, his family business would be ruined.

"Haha! Old Sun, you got served, you can’t even speak frankly and still have the audacity to evaluate jade stones. You really are unfit for such a noble hobby," a robust and hearty laugh filled the air. Then an old man, brightly red-faced and dressed in Tang-styled clothes, walked over.

Old Sun, seeing the elderly man approaching, bowed his head and dared not retaliate.

"Young man, I’ll buy this piece of Ice Species for three million," the incoming old man was generous, offering a price that was higher than what Chu Feng expected.

Chu Feng inhaled sharply at the price offered for the jade the size of a bowl, which was worth so much, justifying its nickname as a crazy stone.

Chu Feng looked at the elderly man and, turning his gaze, then said, "Elder, as I’ve said, I’m uneducated. If you think that price is acceptable, I’ll go to your store tomorrow and buy similar quality materials at the same price."

The elderly man burst into laughter upon hearing Chu Feng’s words and responded, "Young fellow, you’re quite interesting, clearly clueless about the market, yet I can’t deceive you. To tell you the truth, the water head of this material is indeed good, and it’s also intact enough to carve two pairs of bracelets. I can offer up to four million, but I do need to make a little profit."

The sudden increase of a million took Chu Feng aback again. He had seen price negotiations, but not someone raising the bid by a million each time.

Chu Feng said, "You’ll have to ask my girlfriend about that. I selected and cut the stone for her, so naturally, whatever is inside belongs to her."

Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, the elderly man turned to Cui Jingyan and said, "President Cui, I really fancy this material. I wonder if you could part with it."

Cui Jingyan, upon hearing the elderly man’s words, hastily and respectfully said, "Elder Zhuang, you’re too kind. If you, sir, fancy it, how could I possibly refuse to part with it."

Elder Zhuang burst into laughter upon hearing Cui Jingyan’s words and said, "I must say, I didn’t come here for nothing today."

Chu Feng looked at Cui Jingyan and said, "Yanyan, I think I’ve said enough. With so much money today, if the two of us carry it back, we might collapse from exhaustion."

When Cui Jingyan heard Chu Feng’s teasing, she couldn’t help but give him a cold glance, and Elder Zhuang also burst into laughter, saying, "Young man, you really are interesting. Here’s my business card. I see you have some insight into jade. Call me sometime, and I’ll treat you to tea."

When Chu Feng accepted Elder Zhuang’s business card, many people were visibly envious, which Chu Feng found odd—it was just a business card.

After finishing his words, Elder Zhuang turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey! You haven’t paid..."

Before Chu Feng could finish shouting, Cui Jingyan pulled him back and whispered, "That little money, Elder Zhuang won’t default on it. Just keep the business card safe."

Chu Feng nodded, then turned to a completely ashen-faced President Wu and said, "President Wu, he is a respected senior and won’t default on the debt. Maybe you should settle your account right now."

Today, Wu Tianhua’s face was utterly disgraced; he took out a chequebook and wrote down a cheque for thirty million, then turned to leave.

Chu Feng said, "Don’t rush off, President Wu. You haven’t taken your late-night snack yet."

"Boom!"

As Chu Feng pointed to the stone skin on the ground, everyone burst out laughing again.

With a cold snort, Wu Tianhua left without looking back.

The duel between Chu Feng and Wu Tianhua had stoked everyone’s enthusiasm. This batch of materials was indeed impressive, and many contained valuable jades.

After experimenting a few more times and uncovering several pieces of jade of the Furong Species or better, Chu Feng voluntarily stopped.

"Everything in moderation," Cui Jingyan had told Chu Feng.

"Young man, I’m from Tianhong Jewelry. You seem to have a deep understanding of jade; how would you like to come work with us? A million a year plus commission, how does that sound?" a short, plump man came up to Chu Feng and warmly invited him.

Chu Feng said, "Not interested, I have to stay as Sister Yan’s personal bodyguard."

Upon hearing this, the chubby man became anxious, saying, "Young man, the gamble of rough stones is really thrilling, and it offers a high salary, too."

Chu Feng said, "Do you think staring at a bunch of rocks is exciting or looking at a beautiful woman every day is more thrilling?"

"..."

The chubby man was speechless but soon laughed and said, "Young man, you indeed have personality! I’m Tang—here’s my business card. If you ever need anything, just let me know."

Chu Feng courteously accepted the business card, then said, "President Tang, you’re so enthusiastic, it’s tough to say no. Maybe if there are any good rough stones in the future, I could offer advice part-time."

Chu Feng said this, of course, because of the spiritual energy inside the jade.

Just now, he had cut open a piece of Ice Species jade and absorbed the spiritual energy within. It allowed Chu Feng’s Xuanhuang Technique to advance suddenly. Now, the strength in his arms alone was at least two hundred kilograms. Although it was far from the Yellow Level, Chu Feng believed that with sufficient quality jade, breaking through would be no issue.

Upon hearing this, Fatty Tang’s face lit up with joy, saying, "Great! Great! How can I get in touch with you?"

Chu Feng said, "You can find me through the boss."

After listening to this, Fatty Tang proactively handed his business card to Cui Jingyan, saying, "President Cui, this is my business card, please take it. If there’s anything you need, just call me."

Cui Jingyan accepted Fatty Tang’s business card and then handed back one of her own.

Carefully accepting the business card, Fatty Tang then took his leave.

After Fatty Tang had left, Cui Jingyan took Chu Feng’s arm and asked, "Are you helping me build my network?"

Chu Feng replied, "I said I would help you build your circle, and I will make it happen."

Listening to the bold words of this little man under her arm, Cui Jingyan couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter.

As she gazed at the handsome profile of this little man, a lovely blush rose on Cui Jingyan’s face.

"By the way, Sister Yan, who is that Elder Zhuang? Why does it seem like everyone respects him so much?" Chu Feng asked, thinking of Elder Zhuang.
