Chapter 4835: Earning Interstellar Coins
Luo Qing was standing nearby. He smashed off a few pieces and then took out a small stone cutter from his storage ring.
Luo Bi and Luo Ping's attention was immediately attracted. Before they could come over, their uncle came over carrying a few rough rocks, obviously unable to contain his curiosity and wanting to cut them.
"Uncle, give me the rough stone." Luo Qing was in no hurry to dig it himself.
The cousin's uncle stopped being casual, squatted down, and carefully picked out a few rough stones. He handed one to Luo Qing: "Take a look at this rough stone. I think this one looks like a jadeite."
Luo Qing took it and quickly cut the stone, finding it was empty.
The cousin was stunned, and Luo Bi took the opportunity to stop digging and walked over to watch. Luo Ping and Luo Yini also walked over curiously, as well as two aunts and another cousin, hoping to unearth a piece of jadeite.
This high-end stone-cutting machine can cut stone very quickly. The several pieces of raw stone from Luo Ping's family were quickly cut and all turned into waste stone.
The uncle couldn't laugh. Luo Ping muttered, "How come you haven't solved even one piece of the jadeite?"
The family was busy for a while, hoping to find a piece of jadeite, but in the end, they didn't find any.
"This is very common." Luo Qing comforted his uncle: "Go dig quickly, maybe you can find the jadeite next time."
Luo Ping's family did not leave, but stared at the rough stone that Luo Yini's family had dug and broken. Luo Qing did not become impatient because of the delay in digging rocks, and he also broke the rough stone that his cousin's family had dug.
Luo Yini's family was very nervous, and Luo Bi was also very curious.
After breaking open a piece of rough stone, Luo Qing threw the broken stone away: "Waste stone."
"Try to solve this one again." My uncle picked up another piece.
Luo Qing cut the stone in a few minutes, and the raw stone became smaller and smaller.
Luo Bi: "······"
Luo Qing threw away a small piece of raw stone, which was also waste stone.
"It's all in vain." My uncle drooped his mouth.
The two cousins' families left dejectedly, but Luo Bi stayed and continued to watch Luo Qing cut the stone.
Luo Qing nodded his chin and said, "Bring me the raw stone you dug, and I'll cut it for you."
Luo Bi dug out two very small pieces of rock, and quickly turned around to take them out of the bamboo basket, handing one to Luo Qing, and then took the other one, and Luo Qing fiddled with the stone.
Both pieces of rough stone were cut, and nothing was found.
Luo Bi was depressed and felt empty inside. She no longer had any motivation to dig for jadeite.
Luo Qing said to her, "Stop standing there and go dig rocks."
"My hands hurt." Luo Bi pinched her hand.
Luo Qing paused, and then softened his tone: "Don't rush to dig, dig one piece, take a break, and then dig rocks again."
Luo Bi went to work, and she had rested for a while.
All the raw stones that Luo Qing had dug out were cut, but there was no jadeite. Luo Qing didn't care. Later, Zhan Hui and others came to cut the stones, but only Luo Huan cut out a low-grade jadeite.
A piece of this quality costs about 5,000 interstellar coins.
The two cousins became excited again. A piece of low-level jadeite was worth 5,000 interstellar coins, which was enough for one month's salary for one person in their family. It turned out that one could earn interstellar coins by digging for jadeite.
The two little girls didn't feel tired at all and kept swinging their hoes.
After digging out two pieces of rough stone, Luo Bi didn't want to work anymore. But she didn't give up yet and held on until the afternoon. When she stretched out her hand, she saw a blister and her hand that was holding the stone was still burning with pain.
Luo Bi stopped digging and sat on the ground looking into the distance. She didn't know where the crystal beasts had run off to.
"Why don't you dig rocks anymore?" Luo Qing asked Luo Bi.
