Two minutes later, a sweet-looking woman appeared on the big screen. It was the host Tan Shu.
Her voice was like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, with a gentle smile: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. All the betting on the spot and on the star network have been counted. Let's take a look at the final odds, which are—"
As the sound sounded, the big screen displayed the number 1-10 wool in due course, and there were corresponding odds below.
Among them, No. 3, No. 6 and No. 8 have the most bettors and the lowest odds, which are 4.2, 3.6 and 3.9 respectively, and most of the others are between 7--12.
Bai Jingtou's No. 4 wool is not favored by others, and the odds are 9.5, that is to say: based on his investment of 1,000 star coins, if he wins the bet, he will eventually get 9,500 star coins.
Jiao Gui looked at the odds on the big screen with a smile, convinced of his own vision.
This time he looked very carefully. No. 3 wool was in good condition, but there were a few hidden cracks at the back, which were hard to find without careful observation. As the saying goes, 'Don't be afraid of big cracks, be afraid of small strands', the jade structure inside is easily destroyed by fine strands.
Therefore, the green ones must be No. 6 and No. 8!
Jiao Gui was extremely proud. Although the odds of these two pieces of wool were not high, if they guessed correctly, the odds would be doubled. He invested 20,000 principal, and at least he could get 150,000. Not a small amount!
Apart from money, gambling on rocks is all about the heartbeat and the satisfaction of betting on treasures, which cannot be brought by any other entertainment!
He glanced at No. 4 again, the performance of this piece of wool is really average, hehe, it seems that this beautiful boy will belong to him—
At the same time, the two stone gamblers on the high platform began to prepare to interpret the stone.
In this kind of auction house, there are more than ten stone betting games every day. Everyone in the audience and the customers of Xingwang are waiting excitedly, so naturally they can't waste time.
These woolen materials were selected by them in the whole afternoon a few days ago. In order to get the results as soon as possible, they had long been optimistic about the trend of the woolen materials, and now they can solve the stone immediately.
Ten experienced stone-cleaning masters walked to the ten pieces of wool on the display rack respectively, and according to the instructions of the two stone gamblers combined with the performance of the wool, they quickly cut along the displayed dark lines.
Sound barriers and guards operate automatically to prevent excessive noise and gravel from disturbing viewers.
With the help of an automatic stone cutter, within two minutes, all ten pieces of wool were cut deep or shallow for the first cut. Everyone stared at the big screen intently, breathing nervously.
Some of these woolen materials have been cut by a third, and some have just broken the leather shell, revealing a finger-wide section. The stone betting master sprinkled some water to let everyone see it more clearly.
"Hey, six of the ten stones are all white stones, and there is a high probability that these few stones are useless."
"It broke at the first cut, damn it, and lost money again!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, this is just the beginning, wait a little longer."
The crowd in the audience suddenly became a mess, some scolded, laughed, frustrated, and looking forward to it, showing the various states of life.
Jiao Gui couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, his honest and honest face was flushed with excitement, and the numbers 6 and 8 he chose were both green!
Bai Jing looked up at Master Jie Shi's movements on the big screen, looking very calm, but gently pressed his temples with his thin fingers.
Perhaps because of being too hungry, he felt an unspeakable dizziness, and his body became extremely tired. Fortunately, the experience in the last days gave him extraordinary perseverance, which should be enough to last until the end of this round.
"Look, it's gone up!"
I only saw that Master Shi sprinkled some water on the opening made by No. 6 wool, and a light green color came out. It was shiny and bright, and the color was pure.
"Looking at the water head is very good, at least it can reach the waxy seed, so it's soaring!"
"Miss Lin Shuang is indeed the leader among the second-level stone gamblers, she is too powerful."
"Haha, I bought No. 6 for 50,000 star coins, and I'm sure I'll make a lot of money this time!"
Jiao Gui couldn't hold back the smile on his lips, and said that his vision was right, and that losing the bet before was just bad luck.
He looked at the dejected people around him, his vanity was greatly satisfied, he couldn't help patting Bai Jing's shoulder, and he didn't feel annoyed after being avoided by the latter, and said with a smile: "Little brother, it seems that your luck is average , it’s okay, there’s still a chance in the next match.”
Bai Jing dodged his hand sideways, without giving him a look.
Anger and contempt flashed in Jiao Gui's eyes, hum, wait, you will cry when you haven't paid the money.
Seeing the rubbing, Lin Shuang, the stone gambler, had a smile on his lips, and stepped forward to discuss with Master Jieshi, focusing on this piece of wool.
The stone cutter was replaced with a grinding wheel. Under the fine grinding, more than half of the wool was quickly released. The smile on the corner of Lin Shuang's mouth became wider and wider. It was not because of the skin green, but the green was eaten!
She can't wait to sprinkle water, and shine a bright light inside—
"How could it be?!" The woman exclaimed from the high platform.
The large screen zoomed in on the cut surface of the wool material at the right time, and under the illumination of the light, the green jadeite was covered with large and small black spots, densely packed, almost extending to the cut.
"It's ringworm, so many—"
"It's over, it's over, it's broken!"
"The black ringworm has completely penetrated into the jade, it's gone."
"I lost again, today's luck is really bad!"
There are many people who are optimistic about No. 6 wool, and now there are laments one after another.
Jiao Gui's ecstatic expression just now froze suddenly, and his face was so gloomy that water dripped out. What he just said was like a huge irony, which distorted his honest and honest face.
How can there be ringworm? Wow, what a bad luck!
At the same time, the other wool materials are almost solved. The No. 3 wool material that people are optimistic about is full of broken jade inside, the No. 8 is skin green, and the jade meat of No. 6 is "eaten" by black ringworm. The last of the ten wool materials The one who unraveled the emerald turned out to be—
"No. 4, impossible! How could it be No. 4?"
Jiao Gui looked at the unwrapped wool on the big screen, and cried out in disbelief. No. 4 has a gray-white shell and rough skin, which is completely inconspicuous. How can it produce jadeite
But the facts did not allow him to believe it. On the huge screen, a piece of green jadeite that was a circle larger than an adult's fist appeared in front of everyone.
Its color is a slightly dull green, with a delicate luster like oil on the surface, and the color is warm and even, it is indeed soaring!
Most people accepted the result after being shocked. Betting on stones, isn't the betting on the uncertainty of jadeite in wool
As the saying goes, "It is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade." Even the top stone gamblers in the empire cannot accurately judge whether there is jade in the wool, whether it is rising or falling, let alone amateurs like them.
At the end of the round, the sweet-looking host appeared on the screen again, and said with a smile, "The result of this stone betting is out, and the winner is—Miss Shang Yun, the second-level stone bettor!"
The dazzling spotlights shone on the beautiful woman on the high platform at the same time, and her flowery smile was reflected on the big screen. The fans in the audience rushed to call Shang Yun's name, and there were even many live broadcast balls around her.
"Shang Yun! Shang Yun! Shang Yun!"
Amidst the cheers of the fans and under the amazed eyes of everyone, Shang Yun bowed deeply to everyone with tears in her eyes. This is her most glorious moment as a stone gambler, and it is also the most glorious moment!
Lin Shuang, who is also a stone gambler, has already left the stage with a cold face. As the loser, the carnival here does not belong to her. But next time, she will definitely win!
After Shang Yun left the stage, the host's sweet voice sounded: "Congratulations to the customers who have successfully bet, the star coins will be automatically settled to the optical brain account within five minutes. Next, the auction of this piece of green jadeite will be held—"
***
"Hehe, little brother is lucky!"
Jiao Gui looked at Bai Jing with a stiff smile, his face no longer had the previous gentle expression, instead it looked quite ferocious. The result this time was like a loud slap on his face, which made him very embarrassed.
Damn it, he actually lost to a rookie, what kind of shit luck did this boy have!
Bai Jing ignored it, and closed his eyes with some discomfort. The throbbing pain in his stomach made him clenched his fists, and his fingertips turned white.
If I understand correctly, the odds of 9.5 mean that he has earned 9500 star coins. After subtracting the 1000 star coins given to this man, there are still 8500 star coins left, which should be enough to buy a brain and food.
But he doesn't have the optical brain account that the host mentioned, so I don't know how to solve it? Hope to be quick.
"Well… "
Bai Jing bit his lip and groaned, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, his stomach convulsed due to excessive hunger, like a knife twisted inside, the pain was unbearable.
At this time, a woman with a work badge came towards him in a hurry: "I am Wang Xin, a staff member of Gu's Stone Gambling Company, number 001635, Bai Jing is your name, right?"
"… Um."
"Look, is the betting slip yours?"
Wang Xin called up the optical brain, and an electronic betting slip of 1,000 star coins was displayed in front of him out of thin air, with Bai Jing's name signed on the lower right corner, which was exactly the star coins lent to him by Jiao Gui.
"Yes." Bai Jing's voice was so weak that it was imperceptible. He clutched his convulsed stomach, his eyes turned black, and he could hardly see the screen in front of him.
Wang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that all the star coins had been distributed to the corresponding accounts, only this Bai Jing could not find anyone.
Gu's absolutely does not allow a settlement error, even if it is a star coin. The supervisor quickly called up the monitoring and asked several robots to step up their search, and finally found the person without an account.
"Are you okay?" Seeing the other party's pale face, Wang Xin asked worriedly.
"I need... food..."
"Yes, yes."
When Wang Xin heard this, he immediately took out two primary nutrient solutions from the small space unit. They are staff who specialize in handling disputes and emergencies, and they are prepared for everything.
"Thank you." Bai Jing almost snatched two bottles of nutrient solution, opened the mouth of the tube, and poured them into his mouth together.
The tasteless liquid flowed into the body, gradually relieving the feeling of stomach cramps, and Bai Jing felt that he was alive. Although he was only half full, he finally got rid of hunger.
"How about it, are you full?"
Wang Xin looked at his face slowly recovering, and said a little happily: "One primary nutrient solution is enough to fill the stomach, two should be a bit full, don't drink so much next time."
"En." Bai Jing lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly like a small fan.
He didn't explain that he was still only half full after taking two primary nutrient solutions. His body might be slightly different from the aborigines in this world, so he must not expose it.
"Star coins are usually credited into the optical brain account, do I need to buy an optical brain?"
Looking at the plain and somewhat faded clothes of the other party, Wang Xin had a little sympathy in his eyes. This person should come from a slum, and he didn't have star coins to buy optical brains before.
"Need." Bai Jing understood that in this high-tech future world, it would be impossible to move an inch without an optical brain.
"Follow me." Wang Xin led him into the guest room on the first floor, and then took out a pure white wristband, "This is an ordinary optical computer, and the price is three thousand star coins."
In fact, there is also a deluxe version, priced at 10,000 star coins, but she didn't take it out, for fear of hurting the boy's self-esteem.
"Yes." Seeing that Bai Jing agreed, Wang Xin quickly clicked on the optical brain a few times, activated it and handed it to the other party.
When he got the optical brain, a beam of white light emitted from it, scanning him thoroughly like an X-ray, but Bai Jing was completely unprepared and had no time to dodge.
Seeing that Bai Jing's complexion was not good, Wang Xin explained with a smile: "Don't worry, this is the optical brain that is automatically analyzing your level data. From then on, the optical brain will be bound to you. When the data is uploaded to the Imperial Gene Bank, there will be Your unique identification."
Bai Jing pursed his lips tightly. He is not an aborigine here. In case there is any difference in his body data—
Before he could think of a solution, he heard a beep, and the optical brain automatically popped up a translucent interface above.
ID: 1053166247
Name: Bai Jing
Sex: Male
Age: 18 years old
Status: Citizen of the Galactic Empire
Gene grade: D grade
Physical fitness level: B level
Mental power level: A level
Skill Name: None
[Warning: The owner's body has been in a sub-healthy state for a long time, please supplement nutrition as soon as possible.]
Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the data is normal.
Wang Xin: "The 9,500 stars are deducted from the 3,000 for the optical brain, and the remaining 6,500 stars have been deposited into your account. Please check."
Bai Jing: "How much star coins was the nutrient solution just now?"
"Ah?" Wang Xin was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he quickly waved his hand: "No need." Gu will reimburse the star coins for such emergencies, and she just did what she should do.
"A bottle of primary nutrient solution costs 100 stars."
Bai Jing has quickly turned on the optical brain to inquire, and the pop-up interface shows the price of the primary nutrient solution. His learning speed is amazing!
"Thank you just now." Bai Jing looked at Wang Xin with a very sincere tone. If it wasn't for the other party's help, he might not be able to hold on anymore.
He quickly found the other party's account through the optical brain, and directly transferred 500 star coins to express his gratitude. Then I transferred 1,000 star coins to that middle-aged man named Jiao Gui. He never liked to owe favors.
Wang Xin's face was reddish. When the young man looked at her, those brown eyes seemed to contain a clear spring, so beautiful that it made her heart beat wildly.
"I go first."
Bai Jing nodded to Wang Xin, glanced at the 5,000 star coins displayed on his account, turned and left. He wants to find a place to live as soon as possible and get to know the world well.
