Chapter 315: Chapter 314: Astonishing Accuracy
"Second Miss, come on, cut out some high-grade jade so that Boss Zi Yan can see whether I’m up to snuff or not," Lin Tian said, glancing at Zi Yan with confidence.
This beautiful senior sister was sometimes alluring like a little demon, making men daydream, and sometimes her words could infuriate men to death. Those of lesser mental strength could hardly stand her words.
How could one doubt a man’s capability like that, completely shattering his confidence? Thankfully, I have substantial resources to withstand such blows," Lin Tian provocatively glanced at Zi Yan several times.
"Lin Tian, I’m afraid I might mess it up; maybe you should do it," Xiao Manxuan said as she ventured to make her move, but then became hesitant.
It’s not just her, a girl who has never cut stone, even Song Yanan, who regularly deals with stone cutting, isn’t sure if she could precisely extract the jade from the raw material.
Li Xiaoxiao was the first to volunteer eagerly, and now she too furrowed her pretty brows, probably still gauging in her mind whether she could cut without damaging the jade.
"Second Miss, just go ahead and cut it. If it’s messed up, we’ll switch to another piece. We have plenty anyway. If it’s not enough, I can go to the Myanmar public market and bid for a bucket load more, cut however you want," Lin Tian gestured grandly, encouraging her with swagger.
Xiao Manxue and the others were struck speechless; what did he mean by replacing one piece with another, as if jade raw material was tofu that one could casually cut. Even being proficient at stone-gambling didn’t justify such wastefulness.
"Hehe, Lin Tian, you’re really nice," Xiao Manxuan said with a beaming smile, happily.
Then, the little girl placed the stone on the stone cutter and boldly turned on the machine. A buzzing sound ensued as the alloy saw blade started spinning rapidly.
Although Lin Tian said they could cut as they pleased, Xiao Manxuan still proceeded with care. She handled the cutting machine’s lever, slowly bringing it down. The alloy saw blade cut through the stone, sparking a trail of sparks and a cloud of stone dust.
The piece of stone she chose wasn’t very large, so the first cut was completed quickly. The stone fell to the ground with a "snap," revealing the cut surface.
"How is it? Is there any green?" Xiao Manxuan quickly turned off the stone cutter and asked anxiously.
"Don’t rush, let’s clean up the stone dust first," Lin Tian already knew the result, said calmly, and then quickly washed the cut surface with water.
"Wow, such a beautiful jade, it really shows green, you rascal, it really shows green," Xiao Manxuan leaned in, saw the jade green on the cut surface, and excitedly shouted while vigorously shaking Lin Tian’s arm.
It was her first time cutting stone and managing to extract jade, which was of significant importance. The little girl was overjoyed to the extent she accidentally called Lin Tian a rascal without even realizing it.
Fortunately, at this moment, the women’s attention was all on the jade; they did not notice her slip of the tongue.
Song Yanan squatted down to take a closer look at the cut surface and exclaimed, "The green is rich and pure, the kind crystal clear; if I’m not mistaken, this is Ice Jade Emperor Green!"
"Ice Jade Emperor Green!" The other beauties were all startled simultaneously, who could have expected that the first piece they cut today would reveal Ice Jade Emperor Green? Although slightly inferior to Glass Jade Emperor Green, it was still very rare, and some merchants even treat it as a top-quality jade for sales.
Moreover, this cut was precisely along the edge of the jade, uncannily accurate, without damaging even a bit of the jade. It couldn’t be a coincidence; the women were puzzled. Even Xiao Manxue, who had seen Lin Tian cut stone before, couldn’t help but marvel at the perfection of this stroke. It was like a master swordsman whose every casual stroke was exquisitely perfect.
"Xuanxuan, did you really pick this stone?" Zi Yan asked doubtfully, knowing all too well that Xiao Manxuan wouldn’t gamble on stones.
Xiao Manxuan looked at Lin Tian and said, "Actually, I just picked it randomly. It was Lin Tian who decided to buy it. He said it would yield jade, and I thought he was just coaxing people. I never expected it to actually produce jade, and it turned out to be ice-type Emperor Green."
"Lin Tian, it seems your eyes are as good at spotting jade raw materials as they are at spotting beauties," Zi Yan said with a smile as she looked at Lin Tian.
"You’re mistaken, whether it’s beauties or jade materials, I see through the appearances to the essence. Never mind, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained," Lin Tian’s implied meaning was that he saw women as if he were looking through their clothes to see the real person.
"Is that so? I’ll pick one myself and see if you truly can see the essence," Zi Yan said, clearly unconvinced yet smiling teasingly.
Hehe, finally getting these women interested, now they want to actively start stone cutting, Lin Tian thought to himself with mirth.
Next, following the lines drawn by Lin Tian, Xiao Manxuan accurately uncovered the jade, each cut precise. She held the cleaned jade in her hands, constantly caressing it and unable to put it down.
Several women, seeing such captivating jade, were each eager to try cutting a piece themselves.
"Okay, I’ve made my choice. I want to cut this piece," Zi Yan was the first to take a piece back, placing it before Lin Tian, implying that it was time for him to mark the lines and test his skills.
Lin Tian activated his X-ray vision, scanning the piece she had chosen—apple green ice-type, slightly inferior to Xiao Manxuan’s piece, but still very good.
Originally, when choosing the materials, Lin Tian had picked the comparatively better ones, so it was natural that Zi Yan would grab a good piece of jade just by picking at random.
Lin Tian picked up the chalk and casually drew a few lines, then said, "Start now, senior sister. You should know how to use the stone cutter, right?"
Zi Yan, not responding, picked up the stone, set it up, and decisively made the first cut with the stone cutter. Her stone cutting was much more straightforward than Xiao Manxuan’s, making Lin Tian maliciously wonder if the senior sister ever felt heartache when cutting someone else’s jade materials.
The stone was quickly split open; indeed, seeing the green she had cut out, Zi Yan was as excited as a little girl, much like Xiao Manxuan.
"Hehe, I’ve cut out jade too," Zi Yan said following the lines drawn by Lin Tian, completely uncovering the apple green ice-type jade. She held it in both hands and chuckled.
"Lin Tian, the accuracy of your line drawing is too high. Also, I’m really wondering if all the raw materials in the basement contain jade?" Song Yanan exclaimed after watching the stone-cutting process twice in a row.
Her guess was almost spot on—all the materials in the basement were not just containing jade; they were all high-grade jade.
"Brother Lin, can I cut a piece too?" Li Xiaoxiao, who had been watching, couldn’t hold back any longer. The sense of achievement from uncovering beautiful jade from an unappealing stone was incomparable.
No sooner had she spoken than another apprentice also said she wanted to cut by herself. In the end, even Xiao Manxue and Song Yanan joined in, and a bustling stone-cutting contest began. The beauties, each having picked a stone, would have Lin Tian draw lines, and they always managed to precisely cut out the jade.
Lin Tian was left astonished; once women get enthusiastic about their work, nobody could stop them. He almost became the grand master of line drawing.
