The stone betting masters participating in the stone betting battle must go to the underground warehouse of Gu's stone betting shop at least one day in advance to choose wool, so that they can match their opponents later.
The selection time for each stone gambler is three hours, divided into two periods: morning and afternoon.
The stone gambler must select five pieces of wool within three hours. After the selection, they will be transferred to a special storage room, sealed according to their names, and cannot be changed since then. The stone will not reappear until the day of the stone gambling battle.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Bai Jing came to the underground warehouse of Gu's Stone Betting Shop to pick out wool for the stone betting war.
The layout of the warehouse is very similar to that of Gu's No. 5 woolen area. It is divided into four woolen areas in the AD area. Except for the leftovers in the E area and the auction-grade wool in the S area, the other classifications and standard rooms are almost identical.
This is also intentional by Gu Yuanchao. Both belong to the Gu family, and they can complement each other with woolen materials to ensure that the Gu family has new woolen materials entering the market every day.
Bai Jing's current identity is 'Gu Yun', belonging to the offshoot of the Gu family from a remote planet, so naturally he can no longer maintain his previous attire.
He took off the thick black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and restored his original delicate and beautiful facial features.
The plain T-shirt and jeans that he had been wearing before have also been replaced by a hand-made custom suit with excellent texture and fit. Coupled with his excellent appearance and temperament, he looks like a pampered young master from a family, which is completely different from before. two people.
The current Bai Jing, even if An Ge, who had seen his true face, stood in front of him, he might not be able to recognize him for a while.
The gap is really too big!
It is like a piece of uncut jade that was suddenly discovered by someone, and then polished into a work of art that shocked the world, and no one knows its origin and origin since then.
This time, Bai Jing planned to choose the woolen material with a price tag of 30,000 star coins in the D area.
It was his first time to participate in the stone betting war, and he couldn't choose the wool with too high price all at once, and this grade was not bad.
At the same time, there were about dozens of stone gamblers who came to pick wool. They sat in the VIP area and waited for a while before being taken to the second basement by Gu's staff.
After everyone uses the optical brain to scan the code to confirm their identities one by one, they have to go through two inspections before they can enter, and the inspection is very complicated.
Everyone is not allowed to carry tools for storing items such as space buttons, and is not allowed to carry dangerous items. Even the optical brain must be taken off and put aside to prevent cheating.
At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether the genes, optical brain and the identity of the stone gambler are compatible, etc., to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Bai Jing didn't know what method Gu Yuanchao used. Anyway, when scanning the optical brain, the name of 'Gu Yun' was displayed on the machine.
After all inspections are completed, the stone gamblers enter the corresponding woolen area.
Most of the stone gamblers here choose the wool of the D area, and a few choose the more expensive C area.
Bai Jing entered Area D together with more than thirty stone gamblers.
Along the way, Bai Jing received the attention of many people, especially girls.
It was rare for them to see such a young man with such a delicate appearance, and his demeanor was refreshing and clean, especially those brown eyes that were misty, which made them almost stop breathing when they looked at him.
It's a pity that you can't bring any shooting tools into the wool area, and you are not allowed to communicate with each other, otherwise they will definitely go up to strike up a conversation immediately, and at the same time take a photo of the young boy's beautiful face and put it on the bedside to admire every day, wouldn't it be beautiful
Sensing gazes from all directions, Bai Jing frowned slightly, and quickened his pace calmly.
Until now, he is still not used to being surrounded by people.
However, Bai Jing's ability to adapt is very strong, and within a few minutes, he ignores the sight of his surroundings and immerses himself in choosing wool.
Three hours to choose five pieces of wool, the time is still plenty.
In order to avoid conflicts caused by choosing the same piece of wool, the stone gamblers dispersed and began to examine carefully along different stone platforms.
There are at least a thousand pieces of wool for each price tag, which is enough for them to choose.
Compared with other stone gamblers, Bai Jing's workload is much greater.
He had to choose a piece of wool that gambled up, a piece of wool that gambled but the jade contained in it could be used to refine energy fluid, and three pieces of wool that would collapse.
After this period of training and study, his current understanding of gambling stones is by no means comparable to that of the past. He only needs to carefully examine many woolen materials to determine the general condition of the woolen material.
Then combine the performance of this piece of wool, the planet it belongs to, the mouth of the field, and other characteristics, and then judge the possibility of emeralds in it.
Of course, this estimate is not completely accurate, but the probability is significantly higher than before.
It took Bai Jing about two hours to select 15 pieces of wool from more than 150 pieces of wool, which was the limit of his ability.
After making a selection, he penetrated his perception into the wool one by one.
Among the fifteen pieces of wool, three pieces have emeralds.
Bai Jing first chose the most active one.
This time his luck is very good, the active reaction in this piece of wool is very strong, it should be able to reach the ice or ice waxy species.
Then he picked the weakest piece as the raw material for extracting the energy liquid, and put down the middle piece of wool that also had jade.
In order to make it normal to bet on the rising rate, he could only do this.
Of course the other three pieces of wool must collapse.
After picking, Bai Jing drew rough cutting lines on the five pieces of wool one by one, and with the assistance of the handling robot, put the five pieces of wool into the automatic shopping cart and walked to the door.
After a series of inspections, Bai Jing got back his optical brain. After paying a fee of 150,000 star coins, the wool was sealed by the staff and stored in the safest storage room.
At the same time, his optical brain received a number: 060523.
Afterwards, opponents will be randomly matched according to the number and level, and a notification for the stone betting battle will be issued.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon that day, Bai Jing received a match notification for the Stone Betting Battle:
[Please invite the stone betting master with the number 060523 to come to the lobby on the first floor of Gu's Stone Betting Shop at 10 am on June 6th to participate in the second stone betting battle of the day.
If you withdraw from the competition without reason, you will be disqualified from participating in the stone gambling war for one year.]
After Bai Jing read the news, he put away his optical brain.
He ordered 20 standard '5x5x5cm' silver boxes on the star network, each priced at 100 star coins, as containers for energy liquid.
Tonight, he intends to refine the "reliable skin green" that collapsed on Gambling Stone Street into energy liquid, otherwise this piece of jade that no one bids for will be wasted.
The thickness of this piece of 'kepi green' emerald is only 0.4 centimeters, like a thin disk, and it weighs 0.3 kilograms.
Although it is small, the planting water is not bad, reaching the level of waxy seeds.
According to Bai Jing's estimate, this piece of jade should be able to extract a small amount of third-level energy liquid
In fact, according to the level of jadeite, it corresponds to level four energy liquid, but with his level of mental power, he is very satisfied if he can extract level three.
The purity of the third-level energy liquid is above 30%, and the price is 50,000 star coins.
Even if he extracts one-fifth of the energy liquid, he still has 10,000 star coins, which can buy a lot of natural ingredients.
Bai Jing, who has experienced the apocalypse, will not waste any resources.
He placed the silver box on the table, concentrating all his attention on the cut surface of this skin-green emerald.
A few minutes later, a thin white thread of mental power protruded from his body, and at the same time, his perception was also running synchronously. The two collided and intertwined with each other, forming a thin white thread with gold in it.
The thin golden thread, which is only as thick as a hair, is divided into two, one introduces the energy liquid in the jade into the silver box on the table, and the other separates the gray-green impurities inside, with a clear division of labor.
Beads of sweat oozed from Bai Jing's forehead, perhaps because the grade of jadeite this time was much higher than that of yesterday's dry green seed, so he extracted it with more effort, and his head throbbed in pain.
Fortunately, the energy fluid contained in this piece of emerald is not much, and it was all extracted before his spiritual power reached the limit.
Bai Jing rubbed his forehead lightly, a strong sense of exhaustion hit him, and he fell asleep on the sofa almost collapsed.
From the corner of his eye, it seems that the energy liquid is only about one-third of the size of the silver box
Well, it's a bit of a loss.
Thinking of this, Bai Jing fell asleep.
Perhaps it was because he went to bed early yesterday, and Bai Jing woke up before 6 o'clock, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to see the energy liquid he extracted yesterday.
There is indeed very little energy liquid, barely covering about one-third of the height of the bottom of the box, which is even more pitiful in the small box.
However, the liquid inside has reached a good transparency, crystal clear and bright, and the sun green color is very gratifying.
Bai Jing logged into the Starnet Mall. Because of the support of holographic technology, many items will be sold directly on the Starnet, and there are also small online auction houses.
Of course, expensive mechas, weapons, high-grade jade, etc. will still be traded in reality.
Bai Jing searched down the rankings and found the Xinghai Online Auction House, which ranked fourth in the mall.
It is said to be an auction house, but in fact it mainly sells consigned items from various planets, which is somewhat similar to the online auction of Xbao.
The top three have clear requirements for consignment items, which must be more than 20,000 star coins.
Bai Jing was not sure whether the energy liquid he had extracted could reach the auction reserve price, so he chose the fourth-ranked one.
Most of the auctions here are some mecha parts, various instruments, low-level energy fluids, different grades of jadeite, objects from the ancient earth, and some new products that have not yet been marketed, etc. The variety is very complicated.
However, this auction house is fairly formal and will not auction some messy items.
Before the auction, there will be a special appraiser for appraisal, and the value of each lot cannot be less than 5,000 star coins, otherwise it will be returned.
The owner's information will also be kept confidential. This is an unspoken rule of the online auction house, and it is also part of the store's reputation. Bai Jing doesn't have to worry about his identity being revealed.
He looked at the energy fluid he had extracted, which was only one-third, hoping to sell it successfully.
Bai Jing sent an e-mail according to the consignment format, roughly saying that this energy liquid is extracted from waxy jadeite, etc., and [Bai] was written in the signature, which is a virtual name anyway.
Then he sent out the silver box containing the energy liquid.
After finishing all this, Bai Jing took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and came to Gu's Stone Gambling Shop.
Young Master Gu sent a message in the morning saying that he needs to find someone to modify him a little bit to match the age of 'Gu Yun' on the information, I hope it won't be too strange.
***
Gu's stone gambling business.
The sweet-looking host appeared in front of the screen: "Hello everyone, I am the host Tan Shu, and now we will start the second stone betting game today.
Standing to my left is Gu Yun, the first-level stone gambler who is due to fight today. He is twenty years old. Welcome! "
The bright light beam hit Bai Jing's body, and there were several live balls floating around in the air for close-up shooting, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Bai Jing slightly squinted his eyes, stepping slowly onto the high platform.
Since the host made the announcement, there was a commotion in the audience.
"How could it be a first-level stone gambler?!"
"What kind of stone gambling battle does the first-level stone gambler participate in? Isn't this looking for abuse?"
"Became a first-class stone gambler at the age of twenty, the talent is too poor."
"I will never bet on him!"
There is no requirement for a first-level stone gambler to increase the rate of gambling. It can be said that as long as you pass the stone gambler apprentice assessment, you will definitely become a first-level stone gambler.
Talented youngsters like Du Xingyu, who became apprentices at the age of fifteen, will definitely be promoted to first-class stone gamblers in the same year.
Compared with them, twenty years old is indeed very old, a difference of five years.
However, when the discussion in the hall was switched to the magnified appearance of the white scene on the big screen, Qi Qi lost his voice.
The delicate and beautiful facial features of the young man can be clearly seen under the illumination of the light, his complexion is so white and glowing, smooth and delicate like jade, without any blemishes.
The slender and curly eyelashes trembled slightly like the wings of a butterfly, and the most striking thing was the pair of clear and bright brown eyes, which seemed to contain a clear spring, with a slight coldness, which made people feel uneasy when they looked at them. He held his breath in resistance.
The broken hair in front of the forehead was pulled back, revealing the smooth forehead and the arcs at the end of the eyes, which made his face a little mature.
The black windbreaker wraps the slender and slender figure, with a sense of indifference. Apart from the beauty, there is a kind of handsome and free and easy, which is particularly fascinating.
"Fuck, I can do it with such good looks!"
"It's so beautiful and handsome, ah, I'm dead—"
At the same time, the people who participated in the star network betting at the same time also started to commotion.
Although there are quite a few people in Gu's Stone Gambling Shop, most of them don't have time to go to live betting all day, but choose the more convenient online betting, so the number of people on the star network is dozens of times that of the scene.
The live broadcast ball projected Bai Jing's exquisite facial features on the virtual screen. Even if it was magnified several times, the jade-like skin had no blemishes, and even pores could not be seen.
The beauty of youth is not delicate, but rather fierce and cold, like a rose with thorns, obviously delicate and beautiful but not to be played with.
Within a few seconds, the large high-definition picture of Bai Jing was uploaded to the 'Star Field' by netizens, attracting many passers-by to lick the screen.
[It’s so beautiful, woo woo woo—]
[It turns out that there is really a prosperous beauty!]
[One minute, I want all the information on this little brother!]
Many people who do not usually participate in betting on stones on 'Star Field' flocked to the live broadcast room of Gu's Star Network because they wanted to see their faces, and the number of people online was several times higher than before.
The host Tan Shu continued to introduce: "Standing on my right is the candidate to fight against Gu Yun—Jiang Ke, eighteen years old, a second-level stone gambler, with a betting increase rate of 10.35%. Everyone applauds!"
Coming out of the high platform was a young man with a sweet smile. His appearance was delicate and pleasant. He was wearing a pink shirt and a bow tie. He was dressed like a middle school student.
The young man seemed a little excited, and ran up happily. As soon as he came up, he pouted and blew a kiss to the fans: "Xiao Ke, thank you for your support, I love you~"
"Come on, Ke Bao!"
"Cobb is the best—"
"Ke Bao will definitely win!"
The fans in the hall immediately shouted his name excitedly.
Relying on his cute appearance and good marketing skills, Jiang Ke has many fans on 'Star Field'.
However, at this time, when many fans were calling his name, their gazes involuntarily drifted to the screen where Bai Jing was.
Wow, this young man looks so good-looking too!
Jiang Ke quickly glanced at Bai Jing who was at the side, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Who is this person, who actually suppressed his limelight!
On weekdays, Jiang Ke plays with delicate and lovely characters. Every time he gambles on stones, it is his performance venue. The camera sense is very strong, which has attracted the attention of many fans.
In fact, Jiang Ke's talent is not bad, otherwise he would not have become a second-level stone gambler at a young age.
However, it is too difficult to increase the level. Not only is there a requirement for points, but also a higher requirement for the betting rate, and it depends on time to accumulate.
Moreover, he has been betting on stones for so long, and he has never produced high-quality jadeite, so he can't earn many star coins at all.
Later he discovered that every stone betting battle was an excellent exposure opportunity, so why didn't he make good use of it
After participating in more than ten stone betting battles, Jiang Ke gained a group of fans, and successfully received two well-known endorsements. The star coins he got were much more than his betting stones.
After that, he put all his energy into cultivating fans, and gradually slacked off on stone gambling.
But now his exposure has become less, and he has not gambled for a long time, so he can only continue to participate in the stone betting battle.
Jiang Ke looked at Bai Jing opposite, and had to admit that the other party was prettier than him, but so what
Gu Yun is only a first-level stone gambler, and he will definitely win this time.
[He came, he came, he came with the most innocent expression.]
[Ouch, Jiang Ke is nineteen years old, do you really think he hasn't grown up?]
[What's wrong with my Ke Bao? It's wrong to be cute too]
[That is, Ke Bao is so beautiful, you sunspots must be jealous.]
[Heh, the fans above, go and treat your eyes!
It's fine to talk about it on weekdays, now look at the handsome guy next to Jiang Ke, are you ashamed to say it?]
The fans who spoke just now were speechless for a while.
In all fairness, Jiang Ke is indeed good-looking and good at dressing up, otherwise he wouldn't have so many fans.
But today, against the background of the first-level stone gambler on the opposite side, the fans were shocked to find that their Ke Bao seemed to be inferior
The cute face before now looks a little unnatural no matter how you look at it;
The flimsy skin that has always been emphasized is magnified, and the large pores and traces of makeup can be seen. Compared with the flawless face of the other party, it is simply horrible;
The pink clothes were very tender, but compared with the other party's handsome windbreaker, they felt a little more contrived;
Not to mention that blown kiss, for some reason, it feels a little greasy
The fans shook their heads hastily to get the horrible thought out of their minds.
No, no, they are fans of Jiang Ke, not his black fans, how can they think like this? Well, it doesn't matter how good-looking it is, Jiang Ke is a second-level stone gambler, and the opponent is only a first-level stone gambler. Their Ke Bao will definitely win the other party!
So the fans who were still bragging about their looks immediately changed their tunes, and one by one became Jiang Ke's career fans.
[Appearance is not important, this is a stone betting battle, and the comparison is strength.]
[That's right, that Gu Yun only has a face, unlike our Ke Bao who is a second-level stone gambler!]
[Just wait and see, Ke Bao will definitely win.]
