Stone Gambler

Bai Zishi hugged that piece of jadeite, looked at it again and again, and found that this piece of jadeite was like a light blue crystal ball, as transparent as water, with a soft luster and texture. If you look closely, you can see a little "ripple" inside, like The water is rippling and trembling slightly, it is simply too beautiful to behold, the whole piece of emerald is like a natural work of art, beautiful and natural.

To be honest, Bai Zishi didn't want to sell it. This piece of jade really touched his heart and aroused his desire to collect it. After all, for Bai Zishi, who has proven his ability, as long as he looks hard for jadeite with good quality, he will find it sooner or later, but it will be difficult to meet such a piece of exquisite jadeite again.

However, he looked at Vincent, the indifferent orc standing more than ten meters away. After asking that question, he didn't speak again, just quietly waiting for his answer. Bai Zishi hesitated, Bixi said, the orcs on this planet evolved from gems, so does this orc named Vincent also need emeralds?

While Bai Zishi was hesitating, Vincent nodded suddenly: "I see."

ha? what do you know? Bai Zishi's eyes were full of question marks. He looked at Vincent, but the other party stopped looking. I said... why is it so hard for me to understand what this guy is talking about every time!

Vincent felt that what he meant was obvious. He gave up the idea of ​​owning this piece of emerald, because Bai Zishi seemed really reluctant. Unfortunately, he gave up. Obviously, others are not so easy to give up.

Chechel is one of them. He is a professional stone gambler. His partner Edward is an orc who has participated in four beast tide moons. A group of Ole beasts migrated from the forest, and the ferocity and strength of the Aole beasts are also ranked first in the entire Boya Continent. This news is simply a nightmare for the orcs playing forward! Chechel was almost stunned on the spot, Edward, he couldn't imagine what would happen if Edward encountered such a group of demons in the Beast Tide Moon, Edward was the orc who played the front line, that is to say, he was facing the most violent beasts . Edward must go one step further! Even if it's just a little bit! He can't lose Edward no matter what! With this in mind, Chechel decided to gamble on stones instead of buying some from the tribe's emerald store. He hoped to use the money to get the most emeralds, and he was very confident in his eyesight. However, things are not as he expected. He has been in the wool market for several days. He has won quite a lot of jadeites, but not many of them are of good quality. Most of the time, the jadeite sold is not even enough for wool. Chechel started to get anxious. He rarely sleeps these days, his eyes are already black and blue, and he spends every day picking wool, dissolving stones, selling those that fail to meet the requirements, buying wool, and dissolving stones... So far, he I have already gambled a lot of wool, but unfortunately only one piece has the texture of hibiscus, but how can this one be enough? If he can get better gems earlier, Edward can absorb them earlier, and then transform, so that he can also add some safety in Beast Moon.

Time, time, time! Time is running out! As time went by, Chechel became more and more anxious. If he hadn't been conceited about his vision of betting on stones, if he hadn't wanted to save some points for future plans, Edward might have bought a suitable emerald in the tribal emerald shop. , although the price will be much more expensive, but at least it is safe. But now, they don't have enough money to buy jadeite of good quality in the tribal jade store. After all, the price of jade in the tribal jade store is at least 10% less than that of private transactions.

Therefore, such a water-type emerald, and it is a blue emerald that is easier to absorb and transform, is fatal to Chechel's attraction! To buy it! Must buy it! Chechel gritted his teeth, even if he sold the lotus seed in his hand! He opened his mouth and shouted at Bai Zishi: "Three million, sell it to me." If such a big blue jade is obtained, then Edward will be very happy.

When he made such a bid, there was an immediate response: "3.3 million, this is mine!" "3.4 million!" "3.8 million!"

With such a hot scene, Bai Zishi was a little dumbfounded---it seems that he hasn't said he wants to sell it yet, right? Why are they shouting so hard here? Thinking of this, he quickly waved at the crowd around him: "I don't sell this!"

The surrounding crowd was silent for a while, and then some orcs lobbied him to change his mind. Among the emeralds, green and white are the most common colors. It can be said that ninety-five percent of the emeralds extracted from the wool They are all of these two colors, especially green. There are other colors of jadeite, such as the blue jadeite today, as well as red jadeite, purple jadeite, yellow jadeite, pink jadeite and black jadeite. These colors of emeralds are more difficult to form, which is why they have an advantage over green emeralds, that is, these colors of emeralds are easier to be absorbed by orcs! For jade with the same energy, the price of green and white jade will be lower. If it's not in the beast tide moon, it's okay. When it catches up with the beast tide moon, it's not a problem that the price of jadeite of these colors can increase by 10 to 20%.

Among them, Chechel was even more persistent: "Can you sell me this piece of blue jadeite? I will offer four million...four million one hundred thousand. Think about it, this is more than four million..."

This person is real, and he said he would not sell it. Bai Zishi thought about it quickly, raised his eyes, and said a little bluntly: "I really don't want to sell this piece of jade."

Chechel's face darkened, and he was silent for a while, then stared at Bai Zishi suddenly: "I want to have a stone betting battle with you."

Gambling stone war? ! what is this? -----Bai Zishi's eyes are full of question marks.

Gambling stone battle! With a little doll who is obviously a rookie? ! ----Everyone looked at Chechel with surprised eyes, disapproval, disdain, regret, and a little bit of understanding.

Vincent's eyes turned cold not far away, and he glanced at Chechel. Bi Xi also had a frosty face: "Checher, what do you mean?! You must know that Bai is just a child who has been exposed to gambling stones for the first time!"

A trace of unnatural shame flashed across Chechel's face, but he still stood there with his back straight and his pale face showing a firm aura, ignoring Bixi's questioning, and repeating to Bai Zishi: Said his own words once: "I ask to have a stone betting battle with you."

Bixi walked over angrily, and said to Chechel, "Chessel, are you really planning to do this?!"

Chechel didn't answer Bixi's question directly, but said in a low voice: "Beast Tide Moon is coming soon, this time there are a group of Aole beasts around Maca City! Edward is the vanguard of Beast Tide Moon this time!"

Bixi's voice faltered, and he looked at Chechel's haggard face. The person in front of him was well-known in the stone gambling circle in Maca City, and those who often gambled together knew that, Chechel What a tidy and beautiful sub-orc man, even he seldom interprets stones by himself, and often hires stone interpreters here, just to avoid the dust and gravel from the splashed stones. His dedication to cleanliness is even better than his It was exciting to see the birth of emerald with my own eyes. But now his whole body's clothes were covered with a thick layer of dust, his eyes were black, his face was blue and yellow, and he didn't have the usual demeanor at all. He stood there, surrounded by a group of people, these people did not agree with his actions, and more directly, they had loudly expressed their contempt for his actions, Chechel's face was calm, Bixi felt He seems to be more like a guardian who is ready to meet the beast and defend the homeland.

Bixi was silent for a while before seriously asking: "Checher, have you decided to do this?"

Chechel nodded: "It is my oath in the partner contract to get enough gems for Edward. But now, Edward is going to the most dangerous place, but I have not kept the oath, not only that, but because I My arrogance made me fall into a situation where I could not advance or retreat, no matter what, I must get this piece of blue jade, Bixi, I have no choice."

Bixi stared at Chechel, trying to make him change his mind: "If you really do this, it will deal a big blow to your reputation. You can't use stone gambling to bully newcomers. Although this is not a rule, it is also a hidden danger. Rules! And, Chechel, I won't let you hurt Shiro."

When Bai Zishi saw these people, his expressions were not right, especially the conversation between these two people, it seemed that the sub-orc man said something very serious, but... "Well, may I ask... Betting on Stone War, who is it? "

When the two were confronting each other, a small voice suddenly came out. Bixi and Chechel turned their heads at the same time, and happened to see Bai Zishi raised his hand obediently, looking at him with black eyes, like a student asking a question. them.

For a moment, the dignified atmosphere was completely destroyed, and Bixi couldn't help but hold his forehead again. Indeed, it was Bai's first time betting on stones, and he himself had never said anything about betting on stones. He didn't know it was normal, but... this The question reminded him of the scene where he was arguing with Chechel just now, and he felt a strong sense of powerlessness all over his body, and this powerlessness was mixed with dumbfounding—they had a serious atmosphere here. Come, but the person involved has no idea what happened!

"Pfft..." Not only did Bixi feel that such a scene was powerless and funny, but several of the orcs and sub-orcs around couldn't help laughing out loud.

This kid...is so cute as hell.

Bixi sighed: "The stone betting battle is a competition between several parties using the ability to bet on stones. Everyone needs to take out a piece of jade as a bet, and the winner can take away all the jadeites of the participating parties..."

"And yes, it's free for nothing." Bixi looked at Bai Zishi, "Of course, this is not the only way to bet on the stone. An orc fights in a duel in the arena, and the winner can take all the emeralds of the contestants."

"Bai, you can refuse. After all, you are still young, and this is your first time gambling with stones."
