NOVEL NEXT Chapter 414: Eccentric Behavior
"Professor Lin, can you be certain? After all, to us, the piece that Wang Ye cut out seems to be definitely a fine piece."
When this judge spoke these words, many eyes in the audience also began to fill with hope.
Right.
Could it be that this judge made a mistake?
In their opinion, the piece of jade that Wang Ye had was truly exquisite.
It should... not be as bad as Professor Lin said, right?
Their gazes converged on Professor Lin, hoping that what he would say next was that he had seen wrong earlier and, in fact, the piece Wang Ye had cut was indeed a fine piece.
However.
Under the hopeful gaze of the crowd, Professor Lin still shook his head, his words quite certain:
"I know many people here hoped that Wang Ye would do well from start to finish, but unfortunately, I hoped so too, but I even more hoped that we could speak based on the facts."
"The white color in the part Wang Ye cut out indeed gives a refreshing feeling, but unfortunately, that's just the feeling, in reality, it's nothing at all."
After Professor Lin finished speaking, he sat down in his seat, and as he sat, sighs were heard both on site and in the live stream.
"It's such a pity, Wang Ye's expression was so earnest while he was cutting, but in the end, it turned out to be nothing. Just watching this scene makes me feel quite heartbroken."
"Exactly, from the careful way Wang Ye was cutting and the expression on his face, I could tell how much hope he placed on this last piece of stone, only to find out, it turned out to be nothing—it's so upsetting."
Meanwhile, in the Fang Family Jewelry Store's live stream room, suddenly many people surged in, and the friends in the Fang Family Jewelry Store's live stream knew immediately that the rhythm-leading trolls had come again!
Inside, these trolls felt elated.
After all, when they first started bad-mouthing Wang Ye, they were continuously proven wrong, and later, although they tried hard to find opportunities to criticize him again, they just couldn't find any.
The pieces Wang Ye cut out were one after another of premium Imperial Green; even if they wanted to slander him, they simply couldn't find any excuse.
But now.
They found out that the last piece Wang Ye had cut turned out to be worthless, which made them instantly happy and elated.
They found an opportunity to criticize Wang Ye!
So, these rhythm-leading friends started rushing into Wang Ye's live stream room, beginning to gloat without any restraint.
"Tsk, your Wang Ye, even if he cut out so much premium Imperial Green, it's of no use at all. In the end, didn't he still cut out a useless piece of stone?"
"Exactly, we don't even know what you're so proud of. If Wang Ye is so capable, why not just succeed from start to finish?"
"He's just someone who had better luck earlier. If he really had the skills, then he should have also cut an Imperial Green from the last stone,"
Actually, at this point, Fang Family Jewelry Store was definitely able to take first place in this round, and this success would significantly boost their score in the following segments.
So, in the beginning, the Jewelry Groups that sent viewers to disrupt the live stream at Fang Family Jewelry Store no longer planned to continue doing so.
Because it was utterly useless.
Now, those viewers were only there to take revenge on Wang Ye, to criticize him just for the sake of it.
Fang Feifei, seeing the sudden surge of these comments in the live stream, was almost amused by the absurdity, but quickly, she thought of something and a smile appeared on her face as she posted the following message in the chat:
"But the key issue is, even though Wang Ye didn't keep it up till the end, the emeralds he cut earlier were all top-quality Imperial Green."
Her comment caught the eyes of other users in the live stream, and those supporting Wang Ye and Fang Family Jewelry Store copied her message and spread it further.
And those who initially joined the stream to revel in Wang Ye's potential failure, suddenly found their hands freezing as they tried to send more messages.
They didn't know what to send anymore.
Right.
What were they taking delight in, anyway?
After all, during the earlier stage, Wang Ye had cut so many pieces of top-quality Imperial Green.
So many pieces of Imperial Green represented unimaginable wealth, which they probably couldn't pursue in their whole lives, leaving them to only be jealous online.
Thinking of this,
the constant commentators were suddenly overwhelmed by a feeling of melancholy, stopping their comments and just started crying instead.
However,
while the online trolls were dealt with, at the actual scene of the Dragon Country Jewelry Competition, there were some disturbed by Wang Ye's earlier success, finding his mishap a good excuse to start making sarcastic comments.
"Seeing Wang Ye so arrogant, I really thought he would cut an Imperial Green at the end. Turns out, that's it."
"Ha, I don't know why Wang Ye was being so cautious at that moment. It was pointless. Even with all that caution, he still couldn't cut an Imperial Green."
"No, you all are wrong. It's not that Wang Ye couldn't cut an Imperial Green; he simply couldn't cut anything substantial!"
At this, the sarcastic onlookers started laughing unrestrainedly.
From the laughter of these onlookers, one could tell how jealous and twisted their hearts were when Wang Ye continuously cut so many pieces of Imperial Green earlier.
