Chapter Thirteen Stone Gambling (2)
The high-end exhibition hall is much smaller than the hall outside. There are only a few dozen rough stones on the stage over there, and each rough stone has a number on it.
After Huang Chuyang and the others came in, everyone in the exhibition hall looked over.
There are not many people here, about a hundred people, all sitting on chairs.
It can be seen from the chairs that these people sit on that this is a special treatment for VIPs.
Xiao Zhenyu took them directly to the front row to prepare. The people here were either rich or noble, and they could be considered to be prominent figures. Although he was not familiar with Huang Chuyang and the others, the fat man still made many people lose his title as the young master of the Cheng family.
People come over to say hello.
Similar to an auction, people on the stage put out the No. 1 rough stone with a price tag of 500 low-grade spiritual stones. The price remains unchanged, but multiple people can participate in the competition. Whoever guesses the price is closest to the price of the cut rare item.
, no matter who wins, otherwise it will be lost. At the same time, the bet belongs to the winner, and the price of the original stone belongs to Shifang.
Therefore, people who participate in stone gambling must not only have money, but also have vision, otherwise they will spend all their money.
This way of betting on stones is really special. Not only are the gamblers excited, but the stone shop is also happy to make money.
Someone quoted a price, one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones, and threw the money bag up.
Huang Chuyang looked around and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly. He just came to say hello to the fat man. He remembered that he was the owner of a restaurant in Daoguang City.
There were two other people who also put in bids, one with a 120 mid-grade spiritual stone and the other with a 150 mid-grade spiritual stone.
Perhaps it was the first rough stone. Before the atmosphere could get settled, it was cut with just three people’s quotations.
It was quickly cut out, and inside was a section of moth-eaten tree roots. After identification by the treasure appraiser, this should be a kind of elixir called Baimo root. The conditions for its formation are relatively difficult. It is said that there will be drought one year and waterlogging every year.
It was repeated more than ten times before it was generated. Looking at it like this, it is estimated to be six hundred years old and worth eighty middle-grade spiritual stones.
The treasure appraiser's price is 80. Based on this calculation, the restaurant owner who quoted the first price is the closest to 100, so he wins this round.
The restaurant owner stepped forward and took back 370 middle-grade spiritual stones and the hundred-worm root elixir. After excluding the original stones and the five middle-grade spiritual stones, the net profit was 445 medium-grade spiritual stones.
For a high-quality spiritual stone, the net profit is eighty-nine times.
This is really a big gamble and a big profit!
At this time, the entire exhibition hall fell silent, but everyone's heart must have been a prelude to an explosion.
The old man who presided over the stage had no unnecessary nonsense and asked people to directly carry out the second rough stone.
Although the first block is a loss, the second block will definitely make a big profit.
The price of the second piece of rough stone was forty middle-grade spiritual stones, which was equivalent to four thousand for the lower grade, which was eight times higher than the first piece.
Soon, everyone in the audience was excited, and there were more than a dozen people participating in the event.
Even Huang Chuyang found it unbelievable and crazy.
It really goes with that saying, if God wants to destroy people, it must first make them crazy.
If Huang Chuyang hadn't stopped him, Fatty would have also participated.
Even Murong Rong was on the verge of making a move. At this moment, she no longer looked as calm as the strong business woman she once was.
The cutter began to cut the rough stone, and as the cutter slowly cut it one by one, everyone stared at the knife, not daring to breathe, especially the people who placed bets. Their eyes were so fast that they flew under the blade and cut together.
According to Xiaoshi, there is just an ordinary piece of jade here, which is worthless and looks like a few low-grade spiritual stones.
Soon, it was cut open, and the treasure appraiser determined that it was worth ten low-grade spiritual stones.
Calculated in this way, Shifang made a net profit of 51,990 low-grade spiritual stones from thirteen people's ginseng gambling.
Since the price of the first rough stone cut out is eighty mid-grade spiritual stones, the lowest bid for the second rough stone is eighty mid-grade spiritual stones, and the highest is two hundred and twenty mid-grade spiritual stones.
In the end, the winner of the second rough stone was a middle-aged woman who bet 80 mid-grade spiritual stones and made a net profit of 1,980 mid-grade spiritual stones plus ordinary jade worth ten low-grade spiritual stones.
This net profit ratio is not as high as the eighty-nine times of the first rough stone, but it is still nearly fifty times.
Some people off the field have calmed down, while others are even more crazy.
After the third rough stone was brought up, under Xiao Zhenyu's eager eyes, the fat man made his offer. According to Huang Chuyang's intention, he quoted a hundred lower-grade spiritual stones. In his words, the emphasis was on participation.
The price of the third rough stone is sixty mid-grade spiritual stones.
There were fifteen people participating this time, with various offers. The lowest offer was ten low-grade spiritual stones, and the final offer was 280 mid-grade spiritual stones.
Amid everyone's expectations, the third rough stone was successfully cut open, and inside was a middle-grade spiritual stone, which was one hundred low-grade spiritual stones. There was no doubt that Fatty won.
Shifang made a net profit of 900 mid-grade spiritual stones.
Fatty made a net profit of 2,320 middle-grade spiritual stones and cut out one medium-grade spiritual stone.
Isn't this exciting? As long as you come here, who doesn't want to take a gamble? With just one gamble, you can become a serf and sing.
Xiaoshi told Huang Chuyang when he came in that there was nothing good about the rough stones here, and the so-called collection-grade rough stones were just gimmicks, so Huang Chuyang was too lazy to make a quote and just took a look.
As for Fatty, after participating once, he also participated later, but without Huang Chuyang's guidance, of course he lost money, but it doesn't matter, today Fatty is definitely the one who made a lot of money.
Later, Murong Rong saw that she was really embarrassed, so Huang Chuyang reminded her that she had participated once, and of course she was a big winner, with a net profit of two thousand middle-grade spiritual stones.
Unexpectedly, everyone around him and the people in the stone workshop became suspicious.
Xiao Zhenkun, who was sitting not far from Xiao Zhenyu, was also Xiao Zhenyu's brother. He said in a nonchalant manner: "Second brother, the person you invited is really amazing. You can guess right every time. Could it be that you can see through the rough stone?"
Can’t do it?”
Although the sound was not loud, it silenced the entire high-end exhibition hall, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Xiao Zhenyu glanced at his brother angrily, "Everyone present knows that even high-level spiritual masters cannot see through the original stone. Otherwise, if everyone just invites high-level spiritual masters, they will not be able to win surely!"
After a pause, "Besides, Young Master Cheng and the two spiritual masters in the Cheng Family Formation Hall are only low-level senior spiritual masters at the highest level. I believe that many families have such a level of cultivation. So, have you seen through the rough stone?"
After hearing Xiao Zhenyu's explanation, others thought it made sense.
Seeing that this plan didn't work, Xiao Zhenkun came up with another plan, "So, they can win the bet because they are really capable, but others are incompetent, right?"
Before Xiao Zhenyu could answer, he continued: "In that case, how about a gamble?"
Although he was speaking to Huang Chuyang, his provocative eyes were directed at Xiao Zhenyu. He knew that their group was invited by his good brother.
Xiao Zhenyu did not speak, but turned to look at Huang Chuyang.
In fact, Xiao Zhenyu also hoped that Huang Chuyang would gamble with Xiao Zhenkun. After all, if Huang Chuyang won, it would be equivalent to him winning. As for Huang Chuyang's ability, he had seen it more than once.
Huang Chuyang frowned and said nothing.
He pretended not to hear, but the fat man didn't do it. He thought that he, the dignified young master of the Cheng family, was framed and challenged by others. It was really a thin man who could bear it but a fat man couldn't.
He jumped up directly and said, "Come on, Fatty is here, just come over here." That attitude of giving up to others made him even more heroic.
At this time, there were not many rough stones left on the stage. Regarding the fight between the two brothers in the audience, everyone present knew the reason, so everyone started to watch the fun.
Xiao Zhenyu stood up, walked to the fat man's side, cupped his hands and said, "Can you please Master Cheng and Huang Lingshi to help me make a bet?"
Huang Chuyang didn't respond for a long time, and now the fat man didn't speak either. They all waited quietly for Huang Chuyang to speak.
"Second brother, if you can't do it, just admit defeat?" Xiao Zhenkun said.
Huang Chuyang glanced at Xiao Zhenkun, then looked at Xiao Zhenyu again, "This is the first and last time, just think of me as repaying your favor for inviting me here."
That sharp look made Xiao Zhenyu's heart tremble, and he was discovered after all.
Huang Chuyang walked to the stage and looked at Xiao Zhenkun, "Admit defeat, this word is not in my dictionary. Let's start!"
Xiao Zhenkun glanced at an old man next to him. The old man stepped forward knowingly and selected a washbasin-sized rough stone from the remaining seven or eight rough stones.
Then Huang Chuyang also chose a rough stone the size of a basket after being reminded by Xiaoshi.
Of course, Xiao Zhenyu pays for the raw stone.
As the two cutters cut it, a black light soon came out, and exaggerated sounds rang out from the audience.
"Oh my God, it's actually the core of a World of Warcraft beast."
"Looking at this form and aura, it belongs to at least a peak level three monster."
Xiao Zhenkun was very excited when he saw this beast core. This beast core should be the only one in the entire ancient martial arts world, and its value is immeasurable.
In fact, he didn't know that there were two of Huang Chuyang's storage rings, and they were still fresh.
The original stone representing Xiao Zhenyu was also cut open, and no luster came out. Slowly it was all cut open, and it turned out to be an inconspicuous formation flag.
"Second brother, useless formation flag, you lost, the person you found is not very good either? Haha..." Xiao Zhenkun couldn't wait to jump out, his wanton laughter was only half laughed, and was criticized by the people on the stage.
Master Bao’s voice interrupted.
"This is not a simple formation flag, this is the Wandering Dragon Breaking Formation Flag."
The Wandering Dragon Breaking Formation Flag, what is it? Not to mention everyone, even Huang Chuyang and others, including Xiao Shi and Xiao Jin, are the same.
The old man on the stage said calmly, "Old Hongxiang, everyone must have heard of it, right?"
Finally, someone knows. Isn't Old Hongxiang the figure who was said to be invincible in formation five hundred years ago?
It is said that she is the number one person in the ancient martial arts world with her flying dragon breaking formation flag, whether setting up or breaking formations.
Could it be that the inconspicuous formation flag in front of me is the Wandering Dragon Breaking Formation Flag?
Everyone was shocked. If it was a formation flag, its value would be immeasurable.
"It is not a complete Wandering Dragon Breaking Formation Flag, but a damaged Wandering Dragon Breaking Formation Flag. But even if it is damaged, its value is immeasurable."
Next, there was no need to compete. Xiao Zhenyu must have won. Xiao Zhenkun, who had been so high-spirited just now, drooped his face and walked away slowly.
Xiao Zhenyu looked excited, but he did not forget Huang Chuyang and his party, and he was going to give it to them with the formation flag.
To be honest, such things are useless and dispensable to Huang Chuyang, so he will definitely not accept them.
Even if it is a useful treasure, he will not ask for it. He said before that it was the last time to help Xiao Zhenyu and he should return the favor.
