25 Chapter Twenty-Five The Stone Game(1/2)
Xu Ren was a little uncomfortable with such a gap between the front and back, and waved his hands cautiously. Dogula was not so respectful, snorted, turned his head, and pretended not to see it.
The orc's face turned red, and he knew that he had changed too much. The corners of his mouth twitched, but in the end he bowed to Xu Ren and left without explaining anything more.
"Ignore him, there are many such people in the online world." Looking at the back of the orc, Dogula said disdainfully. He couldn't stand the different orcs depending on the person.
But whether it's about sub-beasts, transformed beasts, or little orcs, there is always a group of orcs who claim to be the defenders of justice and are confident enough to do things that hurt others. If Anya hadn't shown her super talent in stone betting today, then
Will the orcs come around and apologize?
Xu Ren's face was also a little complicated. He once again experienced firsthand the differences brought by status in this world and the degree of people's respect for black meteorites.
Probably because he really hated this kind of thing, Dogula just said one sentence and left. Then he pulled Xu Ren to the corner with excitement, rubbed his hands and said, "Anya, brother, can I be nice to you?"
Xu Ren didn't understand what he meant by asking, but he definitely nodded. Dogula was a kind person in the online world who treated him regardless of the reason.
Dogula smiled with satisfaction, then hooked his neck and asked mysteriously in his ear, "Anya, since brother is so good to you, can you tell him how you chose the black meteorite just now?
?Eighty percent of first-class black meteorites and pure stones are used in every game. Do you have any secrets?"
Xu Ren shook his head apologetically, "No... choice." In fact, he himself was surprised.
"You mean, you didn't have a choice, you just took it at will?" Dogula could already guess Xu Ren's intention with 80% accuracy, and because of this, his two eyebrows suddenly became tangled into two robbery caterpillars.
Xu Ren nodded honestly.
"What about the back, you didn't pick the sixth or eighth grade stones? I saw you touching and weighing them. It's impossible that you don't have skills. Tell your brother, and he will never tell anyone." Dogula continued to ask without giving up.
, after all, the hit rate was too high, he wouldn't believe anything he said he had no skills.
"The boss agrees that you have talent in this area, so don't be humble like your brother, ah!"
When Xu Ren heard this, he paused.
He knew that whether the shop owner showed respect to him or the orc turned around and apologized, it was all because of his high hit rate on stone gambling. Even though he denied that he was a stone gambling master, they had already recognized him as one.
A stone gambler, and a high-level stone gambler.
Therefore, their respect and apology are not so much to him, but to their defining identity in their minds.
This realization made Xu Ren wake up. He no longer had Brother Yan to protect him. If he wanted this world to live well, he must have someone who could protect his identity, such as a stone gambler or a Lishi.
Although his powers are very similar to those of the powers of this world, he is most likely a powers master. With his level of control over his powers, there is no problem in supporting himself.
But now he is not sure yet. Instead of waiting in vain for something uncertain, he might as well seize the opportunity...
Thinking of this, he grabbed Dogula's hand with his backhand. Dogula was startled. Seeing Xu Ren's serious face, he couldn't help but ask, "What...what's wrong?"
"I...want to...bet on stones." Xu Ren said with a request.
Although he has little contact with stone gambling, and he doesn't know why he can continuously bet on high-grade black meteorites, this identity is undoubtedly a hope, if he can really become a stone gambling master.
So he needs to experiment again to see if he has talent in this area, even if he is just lucky.
"Do you want to try a few more times to make sure you are talented in stone betting?" Dogula's eyes lit up and he understood.
Xu Ren nodded, but felt a little embarrassed, because he had no money, so if he wanted to try, he could only ask Dogula to help him.
"Haha, brother, what do you think this is? If you don't tell me about this, I will kidnap you!" Dogula gave a high-five and laughed, "Come on, let's go back and give it a try."
Then, he dragged Xu Ren back, acting even more eagerly than Xu Ren.
Seeing Xu Ren and Dogula coming back, the store owner thought there was something wrong and walked over quickly, "This is..."
"Actually, it's like this. It was the first time for my brother to play stone gambling today. He didn't expect to get such good results, so I persuaded him to come back and try again to see if he really has this talent." Dogula acted as the spokesperson.
, explain to the shop owner.
Although the shop owner guessed that Xu Ren was a stone bettor, he never thought that it would be to this extent. After hearing Dogula's words, he became excited. When he thought that a senior stone bettor might be born in his store in the future, he personally
He led Xu Ren to the nearby stone gambling machine room.
After Xu Ren showed off his skills, there was already a long queue in front of the stone betting machine in this store. The boss wanted to let Xu Ren jump in, but Dogula refused on Xu Ren's behalf. Just kidding, if Anya makes a mistake next, they won't
Waiting to be complained to death by those orcs queuing up?
Xu Ren was asked to wait first, and he went to get a number. It was pretty good, there were only seventeen people in front of him.
Xu Ren was already prepared to wait for an hour, and the boss also invited him to go over to the store to take a look at the rough stones that had not been cut.
Unexpectedly, the orcs waiting in line had such good ears. When they heard that Xu Ren wanted to play, they all took the initiative to express their willingness to exchange their places, and even helped Dogula to persuade the orcs in front to give up their seats.
Of course Dogula will not refuse this time. This is because the players take the initiative to give in, rather than the boss forcing them to give in. The meaning is very different.
Those who had not seen Xu Ren perform as beasts were originally very reluctant, but after being pulled by the beasts who knew about it and whispered for a while, they agreed to give up their positions and looked at Xu Ren with eyes full of expectation.
Just like that, Xu Ren, who was supposed to be ranked 18th, suddenly reached the second place.
The orc who was playing happened to have fired at Xu Ren before. I didn't pay attention at first, but then I realized that there was no sound behind me. When I looked back, I realized that the person waiting behind me had been replaced by Xu Ren, and he didn't even play the game once.
He immediately gave up his position with a flattering expression on his face.
Dogula thanked Xu Ren lightly, swiped money on the machine ten times, and made a cheering gesture to Xu Ren, "Come on, brother is optimistic about you."
Xu Ren smiled gratefully at Dogula and walked to the machine.
Dozens of pairs of eyes were fixed on Xu Ren, and Xu Ren became more nervous. Previously, it was just for fun and he didn't take it seriously, but now it was to determine whether he could become a stone gambler. The nature was completely different.
With a serious face, Xu Ren picked up the stones on the shelf and began to select them. However, after holding them in his hands, he discovered something very serious. He could not tell the difference between different grades of black meteorite, which made him a little anxious. As time went by, Xu Ren also
He is getting more and more anxious and confused.
The orcs around him didn't know anything about it. When they saw Xu Ren picking and choosing, they just thought he was identifying high-grade black meteorites, and they didn't dare to disturb them. The shop was so quiet that you could even hear breathing, which surprised everyone who came in later.
He couldn't help but lower his voice, but more and more people gathered.
Time passed by, and Xu Ren was still selecting, but the machine already sounded a warning, "Warm reminder, you still have thirty seconds, please put the selected stone into the window."
What should I do? What should I do? Xu Ren was panicking, his heartbeat was rising rapidly, but he couldn't find a suitable piece to put into the window.
Finally, ten minutes passed. After the machine made a long beep, it said, "Unfortunately, your time has expired. This time is cancelled. You have ten more chances."
"What did he do? Why didn't he choose when the time came? Isn't this a waste of all of our time?" Because Xu Ren's position was given up by others, there were immediate voices of dissatisfaction and the crowd dispersed.
"That's right, I really thought some master had come, but in the end there wasn't even a piece of rubble."
"Are you sure it was him who won the grand prize before?"
"..."
Those messy sounds reached Xu Ren's ears, and his whole body felt as if it was being burned, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
"Anya, don't think too much. Just like before, just treat it as a good time. If the bet goes up, it's luck. If the bet goes up, it's just a matter of time. It's only a few thousand kcal. I can afford it, so it's nothing."
Dogula also noticed that something was wrong with Xu Ren's condition, so he quickly came over and whispered comfort.
After listening to Dogula's words, Xu Ren's confused mind seemed to suddenly become clear.
Yes, he has not had much contact with black meteorites. He has never even seen second-, third-, fifth-, seventh- and ninth-grade black meteorites. How could he identify them on his own?
Isn't it that what he wants to know is his luck in betting on stones?
He had been mistaken before.
Thinking of this, Xu Ren relaxed completely, and his rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down. This time, he didn't pick it carefully. He just glanced at the stone on the shelf, then picked up a black meteorite that was pleasing to the eye and put it away.
inside the machine window.
This move caused another burst of uproar and jeers.
"I didn't pick one for a long time just now, but now I don't even pick one, so I just picked it?"
"Is this person really a master who has just won an award? Stop joking."
"..."
Xu Ren ignored it. He stared at the machine. The machine first let out a burst of excited shouts, "Oh, dear winner of the mysterious grand prize, I see you again. This machine is so excited. Please allow this machine to express its gratitude first."
Your unending admiration..."
Xu Ren was so dizzy that he couldn't express how he felt about being praised by a machine.
I was anxious to know that all the orcs turned out to be black threads, and I almost couldn't help but step forward and smash it. When the machine finally got to the point, "Then the tense moment has finally arrived. Let's see if the mysterious grand prize winner can continue as usual."
Amazing results, let us count down together...
"three……"
"two……"
"one……"
There was a flash of white light, and a jet black meteorite appeared in the machine.
"Oooh, ooh, ooh, even though the fourth-level black meteorite is not as stunning as the eighth-level black meteorite, it still maintains your record. Please keep up the good work!"
Dogula breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the orcs who had given up their position would come up and beat him up because they regretted it.
The onlookers were shocked. Many people wiped their eyes and said, "Holy crap, is it true or not? Can you bet on the fourth-grade black meteorite?"
"Isn't this too fucked up?"
"I couldn't believe my eyes!"
Xu Ren ignored the comments of others. This result gave him some confidence, so he just chose whatever he liked and put it in the window.
