Ma Xiaoyao glanced around and found that the stones here were very cheap. The most expensive ones only cost one hundred taels of silver, and the cheapest ones only cost one tael. Ma Xiaoyao had a lot of silver on him, so he happened to take out some to buy.
.
The reason why he came here was partly to open his eyes and partly to practice his skills. There were still four days until the official "Stone Gambling Competition". Ma Xiaoyao planned to accumulate more experience in these four days and wait for the gambling competition.
After the stone competition begins, he can let go and have a big fight.
"Which stone is better to choose?" Ma Xiaoyao hesitated: "Should I choose a higher-priced one or a lower-priced one? Huh? This stone looks quite special." Ma Xiaoyao glanced at a stone from the corner of his eye.
A black stone, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, looks like an awl. The most peculiar thing is... there are some small holes on the surface of the stone, and there are some water droplets in the holes. If the guess is correct, this stone should have been there before.
If you put it in a place with water, the small holes on it will be made by the water droplets. This is the principle of "dropping water piercing the stone". The power of the water droplets is small, but it can't help but be used for many years.
"Crack!"
Ma Xiaoyao put his hand on the stone. At this moment, the mysterious bead floating in his mind suddenly jumped. It was true, the mysterious bead did jump just now.
How is this going?
Okay, why are the mysterious beads beating? This has never happened before.
Could it be...that it was because of the dark stone in front of him? The more Ma Xiaoyao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. It must be because of this stone.
Open the stone and take a look!
Ma Xiaoyao paid the money and then hired a man to cut the stone on the spot.
"Click..."
The man picked up the knife and cut the stone open, and a dazzling golden light flashed out from inside the stone.
"There is something, it's gold, and it's not small." The waiter's face was full of envy: "Sir, you made a profit this time. You spent three taels of silver to cut out such a big piece of gold... You made a huge profit.
Sent."
Ma Xiaoyao was also very excited, and he was very excited. He seemed to have discovered a bright road... Because there was gold in this stone, it caused the mysterious beads to beat. In other words, as long as the mysterious beads beat, it meant that there was something inside the stone...
…
In order to confirm his suspicion, Ma Xiaoyao bought a few more stones, three of which caused the mysterious beads to beat, while the other two stones...the mysterious beads had no reaction at all.
"Cut them all!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes widened and he looked at the five stones placed in front of him without blinking.
"Kakaka..."
The man picked up the knife and cut open all five stones skillfully. There were things in three stones, which were gold, silver and white jade, but nothing was cut out of the other two stones.
The success rate of 60% is not low.
Next, Ma Xiaoyao picked a few more stones. After cutting them, half had something in them and half had nothing...
After some experiments, Ma Xiaoyao finally had a clue in his mind that the mysterious beads could indeed sense whether there was something inside the stone. As long as the mysterious beads reacted, it meant that there was something inside the stone. The more intense the reaction of the mysterious beads, it meant that there was something inside the stone.
The more precious the thing is.
To give you an example, the mysterious bead beats once, and inside the stone is a gold nugget the size of a child's fist. The mysterious bead beats twice, and after being cut open, there is a piece of white jade inside, which is of pretty good quality. According to the store clerk's estimation, it's worth telling less.
Five hundred taels of silver, the mysterious bead beat three times, and what was cut out was a precious agate, estimated at tens of thousands of taels of silver.
In other words, the more the mysterious beads beat, the more precious the things in the stone are.
This mysterious bead is simply a super cheating device! Not only can it help you practice, it can also help you bet on stones. It’s so cool!
With the help of the mysterious beads, it won't be long before Ma Xiaoyao becomes a new generation of gambling god!
"My guest, what's your surname?" A middle-aged man wearing a felt hat suddenly came over and greeted Ma Xiaoyao politely.
"Oh, my name is Ma San." Ma Xiaoyao gave a false name.
"Hello, Mr. Ma, I am the shopkeeper of this shop. My name is Xing Yajun." The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I want to recycle these things that Mr. Ma cut out at a high price. I wonder what Mr. Ma's idea is?"
"Recycle it at a high price?" Ma Xiaoyao blinked: "How much do you plan to bid?"
Seeing that Ma Xiaoyao didn't refuse, Xing Yajun knew that there was something going on. He hurriedly said: "I just made a rough calculation. The total value of these things you cut out is about thirty thousand taels of silver. I will give you thirty-five thousand taels of silver."
, it’s a full five thousand taels higher than what’s on the market, what do you think?”
"An extra five thousand taels?" Ma Xiaoyao looked Xing Yajun up and down: "Do you have too much money to spend? So you want me to help you spend some?"
"Mr. Ma is really good at joking." Xing Yajun waved his hand: "The reason why I have an extra five thousand taels of silver is partly because I need these things, and partly because I want to make friends with Mr. Ma."
"Using five thousand taels of silver to make friends? You are so generous."
"Mr. Ma, can we talk further?"
"further?"
"Yes, Mr. Ma, please come with me to the inner room for a chat."
"Is there something you can't say here? Do you have to go to the back room?"
"Mr. Ma, please rest assured. I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you. I just want to make a deal with Mr. Ma, a win-win deal. I just don't know if Mr. Ma is interested."
"Deal? What deal?"
"There are so many people here, it's very inconvenient to talk. Let's go to the back room to discuss." We went around and around, and finally came back. If we want to know the content of the transaction, we must go to the back room to talk.
"...Okay, just lead the way." Ma Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
…
The shop is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. All kinds of stones are placed outside. The area of the back room is relatively small, and it is fully equipped with tables, chairs and benches. It is usually used to entertain distinguished guests. The so-called distinguished guests are those with special status and spend a lot of money.
guest.
"Mr. Ma, please sit down." Xing Yajun asked Ma Xiaoyao to sit down, and then poured Ma Xiaoyao a cup of hot tea with his own hands: "Come, drink tea! The authentic Dahongpao is not available outside."
"Shop Manager Xing, let's talk about business," Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Since Mr. Ma is so cheerful, I won't be verbose." Xing Yajun pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Ma Xiaoyao with a smile: "Before we talk about the deal, I have a question to ask Mr. Ma, please.
Mr. Ma told the truth."
"Ask me, I'll tell you everything I can tell you." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"Mr. Ma, have you ever learned the magic of stone gambling?"
"Stone gambling magic? What is it?"
"Mr. Ma, don't worry, I will keep your confidentiality and will never reveal your identity..."
"What are you talking about? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen to it? I have never heard of the stone gambling magic you are talking about."
"Have you really never learned the magic of stone gambling?"
"It's absolutely true! This is the first time I heard the words "Stone Gambling Magic" today."
"Since you haven't learned the magic of stone gambling, then... why can you frequently choose stones with things on them?"
"This is what you want to ask the most," Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Uh...that's true." Xing Yajun nodded: "Please ask Mr. Ma to clear up my doubts."
"It's okay to tell you." Ma Xiaoyao chirped: "The reason why I can cut out so many good things is purely based on feeling."
"Feeling?" Xing Yajun was immediately stunned.
"Yes." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "It's just a feeling! You may not believe it, but I am naturally sensitive to stones, especially stones that contain things inside... I can't explain it clearly in a sentence or two, you can also understand it as
It's luck. When I was gambling on stones, I was very lucky and the winning rate was high." The matter of the mysterious beads must not be mentioned, so Ma Xiaoyao made up an excuse at random. As for whether the other party believed it or not, it was not Ma
That's what Xiaoyao has considered.
"Feeling? Luck?" Xing Yajun nodded thoughtfully: "So...you are gifted? You have a sense of stones that no one else can match, so you are invincible when betting on stones.
Am i right?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "That's pretty much what it means. I rely on my feeling when betting on stones, and it's not some magical magic."
"So that's it."
I really learned a lot today."
"Shop Manager Xing, what exactly do you want to do with me?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Well, don't be anxious, Mr. Ma." Xing Yajun waved his hand: "Before talking about the transaction content, I also want to test Mr. Ma's stone gambling ability..."
Still want to test his stone gambling ability? Ma Xiaoyao immediately got tired of it, and without saying a word, he stood up and left.
"Hey, Mr. Ma, don't leave. We have something to discuss." Xing Yajun rushed forward to stop him.
Ma Xiaoyao stopped and looked at Xing Yajun quietly: "Shopkeeper Xing, if you really want to make a deal with me, just say it bluntly and stop playing with these useless tricks."
"Ah... I just want to be on the safe side..." Seeing Ma Xiaoyao's face getting more and more ugly, Xing Yajun immediately changed his tone: "Okay, I'll tell you directly, you sit down first, sit down and listen to me slowly
you say."
"Tell me what's going on." Ma Xiaoyao sat on the chair again.
"I want to join hands with Mr. Ma to bet on stones."
"Joining forces to gamble on stones? What kind of gambling method? Please explain in detail."
"To put it simply, I pay and you contribute... Let's put it this way, you choose the stone. No matter whether it is high or low, I will pay for it. The final cut will be divided in half. How about it? This deal is very
