At this time, the atmosphere in the stone-cutting room was quiet, which naturally made Zheng Feng feel a little nervous. Although he was not the one cutting the stone, he was more nervous than the Swift Fire Mantis. There was a trace of expectation in his eyes, and his breathing rhythm involuntarily accelerated.
.
Wei Wei noticed Zheng Feng's situation and chuckled: "I advise you to relax and don't have any hopes for these three stones, otherwise you will definitely be disappointed. If it were so easy to cut out things, no soul beast would be willing to do so."
After taking out the stones and selling them, ninety-nine percent of these three pieces are waste stones."
Waste rock is a igneous rock that cannot be cut into anything. If you cut this kind of stone, it means that you will definitely lose everything.
Zheng Feng is not a saint, he cannot sense even small stones with his soul power, and he is still a novice stone gambler. It can be said that he selected the three stones completely based on his feeling.
To put it nicely, it’s just feeling, but to put it bluntly, it’s just luck. Trying to use luck to make a profit by betting on stones is simply nonsense. Therefore, there is no hope at all for these three stones.
"My character has always been good." Zheng Feng whispered to himself. This was his first time betting on stones, and he must have hoped for a good start.
Tai Wei said with a smile: "Unfortunately, when gambling on stones, the most untrustworthy thing is your character. If you use your character to gamble on stones, you will definitely be unable to even wear underwear!"
Zheng Feng glared at Tai Tail helplessly. Couldn't this little female dragon say something nice? It would be so fun to attack him!
At this time, there was a flash of knife light in the basement. Zheng Feng reacted immediately and turned his gaze back to the stone cutting table. He saw the Swift Fire Mantis rapidly waving a pair of sickles. The hard stone was as fragile as a root under its sickles.
Carrot, every time you cut it, a piece of ultra-thin stone will fly out, but it is the same size and the same area.
Through the lights in the basement, you can still vaguely see the other side of the stone piece. It can be seen that Swift Fire Mantis's knife skills are extremely exquisite. They have been tempered for thousands of times and are extremely precise.
A pair of sharp sickles is like caressing the surface of the stone, taking off the stone's coat layer by layer, and cutting out a thin piece of stone each time.
Zheng Feng muttered: "I thought that the Swift Fire Mantis would cut the stone directly with one knife. I didn't expect that the cutting of stone would be done layer by layer, piece by piece. It is no different from cutting radish slices."
"Cut it with one knife? I'm convinced! Do you understand that it's blind cutting? The most taboo thing about stone cutting is blind cutting. Fortunately, you didn't choose to cut it yourself. Otherwise, no matter how much stone you cut, you would waste as much stone as you deserve."
Tai Wei looked at Zheng Feng speechlessly and explained: "Remember, if you don't cut into the stone, you will never know whether there is really anything hidden inside, what is hidden, what is the shape and size, and how far away from the surface of the stone is. So.
When cutting a stone, you must never cut through the middle. If there is something hidden in the stone, this is a typical cutting method that seeks death. The result of one cut will only be to cut the thing in the stone in half and completely destroy it!"
"The most correct cutting method is to peel off the stone one by one, trying not to damage the things in the stone. After discovering the real items hidden in the stone, slowly polish it." Taili said: "Of course, this is just
The most basic and safe cutting method, and another cutting method, is to first find the scraping opening from the shape of the stone, and observe the internal structure of the stone from the scraping opening, so as to determine the position where the knife can be directly cut, and quickly cut the stone.
It is more accurate and can remove objects from the stone with zero damage."
"It's just that this cutting method is more dangerous. If there is a slight mistake in judging the position of the knife, it may cause irreparable losses, just like blind cutting. So if you dare to use this method to cut stone, only master-level stone cutting
This is only possible if you are a teacher."
Tails did not forget to add at the end: "I am not a stone-cutting master. What I know is just a superficial knowledge I learned from Uncle Leo. According to Uncle Leo, the knowledge of stone-cutting is very profound!"
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Zheng Feng's forehead. Is this just scratching the surface? How complicated is the real cutting of stone?
He really can't find anything to refute Tai Tai now. Tai Tai said before that cutting stones hides a lot of knowledge. He once disagreed and thought that if it's not just cutting stones, as long as the knife is sharp enough, what's the difficulty?
However, this was his first time gambling on stones. To be on the safe side, he chose to ask the store to cut it for him. Otherwise, he planned to do it himself. After Tai Wei's explanation, he finally began to understand the technical work of cutting stones. It was really
Not something a rookie can do!
Although Swift Fire Mantis only used the most conservative stone-cutting technique, cutting it piece by piece, under its rapid knife skills, the stone was still rapidly becoming thinner. The stone Zheng Feng chose was not large, and the first piece was completely cut.
It turned into carrot slices, but nothing appeared.
Swift Fire Mantis did not hesitate, and immediately started cutting with the second stone. It had cut through countless stones, and it was not surprising that nothing could be cut out. It was very difficult to cut out anything from most of the stones.
Seeing that the first stone was declared a waste stone, Zheng Feng couldn't help but show disappointment in his eyes, and then stared at the second stone with expectation, hoping to see something different.
The tail next to her just covered her mouth and snickered. She thought from the beginning that these three pieces were useless rocks.
The Swift Fire Mantis sword rose and fell. Under the sharp blade, the second stone gradually turned into a pile of carrot slices. Still nothing was gained. Seeing Zheng Feng's disappointed face, Tail snickered even more cheerfully:
"I told you not to have hope, but you just didn't listen, haha..."
"There is one more piece!" Zheng Feng said without giving up. Isn't there still one piece of stone? That proves there is still hope.
"Forget it~" Taiwei covered her mouth and snickered. She was now looking forward to how Zheng Feng's expression would change after seeing that the three stones were all useless.
Swift Fire Mantis was not disturbed by the conversation between the two, and continued to cut the last stone steadily. As the stone became thinner and thinner, almost half of the stone was cut and nothing was gained. Zheng Feng finally saw the reality clearly and sighed completely.
No hope.
At this time, a small sound of "ding~" suddenly came from the quiet stone cutting room. You must know that the double scythes of the Swift Fire Praying Mantis are high-temperature and sharp. They can cut stones like cutting radishes with incomparable precision. They have not touched the stone cutting table. The previous stone cutting is not at all.
It will make any sound, so the slight sound at this time is different.
"How is it possible, something is really coming out? This is unscientific——!" Tai Wei lost his voice in disbelief. Could it be that the pervert's character is really so outrageous that he can cut out just a few cheap stones?
Things don’t work?
Zheng Feng smiled proudly. He was really at the end of his rope and there was no way out. He had obviously given up, but something happened.
The two big jewel-like eyes of the Swift Fire Mantis also flashed a few times. To be honest, it actually held the same view as the tail. It was really impossible for a few small rough stones to produce anything, but now the situation has changed, and it no longer
After lowering the knife, he stopped wielding the double sickle, picked up the stone and looked carefully. There was a subtle dark red mark on the oblique section, which was as big as a grain of rice. It would be difficult to spot it if you didn't look closely.
Based on this small mark alone, Swift Fire Mantis couldn't tell what it was, but it was definitely something.
It changes the direction of the stone and cuts it. After each cut, it will pause to see if there is a mark. Once a dark red mark appears, it changes the position and cuts the stone. It is like carving. The process is more than ten times slower than before.
.
However, Zheng Feng and Tai Wei did not rush. They waited quietly. Under the carvings of the Swift Fire Mantis, the stone gradually took shape and broke out of the stone. At this time, the Swift Fire Mantis no longer used the knife, but used the knife to remove the blade.
Temperature, carefully polished the strange-shaped thing. After completing the polishing work, the thing finally revealed its true appearance.
"Hahahaha~~~~Hahahaha~~~~" Tails burst into crisp laughter, holding his belly with both paws, rolling in the air, seemingly laughing until his stomach hurt.
Zheng Feng's face was full of helplessness. He originally thought that something good was coming out and was full of expectations, but in the end, what he was waiting for was this damn thing...
Damn it! How come there is such a thing in the stone? You don’t do this even if you are cheating, right?
