A week later, Bai Jing's notebook was filled with numerous knowledge points, all related to stone gambling. However, this knowledge is relatively fragmentary and can only be regarded as a preliminary understanding.
He turned off the optical brain, and prepared to go to the woolen area to experience it on the spot, and strive to gamble up a piece of gambled wool as soon as possible, so as to obtain the qualification for the examination of the stone betting apprentice.
Before going to sleep, Bai Jing searched the nearby wool area, there are three in total. Sure enough, the largest of them is Gu's No. 5 Woolen Materials District, which belongs to Gu's industry.
After checking the route, Bai Jing lay on the soft bed and had a good night's sleep.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Bai Jing finished washing, and went out wearing the most common white T-shirt and black trousers and old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.
Walking on the remote path, he found that the bodies of Jiao Gui and the other three had disappeared, and the minced meat and splattered blood on the ground had been cleaned up without any trace left.
Bai Jing glanced at it casually, and walked to the boarding point of the suspension car without changing his expression.
Walking to the platform, he felt slightly relaxed.
It has been a whole week since Jiao Gui and the other three were killed last time, and there has been no movement until now. He should have escaped for the time being.
There were not many people on the morning train, so Bai Jing followed the crowd onto the white floating train and sat down at the corner.
The suspension train is like a long spaceship floating in the air, shuttling fast on the spiral track, going up and down, up and down, so fast that you can't see the scenery outside the window clearly.
Bai Jing's slender fingers gripped the handrails on both sides tightly, his whole body tensed up, and he closed his eyes desperately to resist the weightlessness and dizziness brought by the high speed.
In less than two minutes, the suspension train slowly stopped at the station.
Bai Jing's face turned pale, he immediately untied his protective belt, and staggered out of the car door. On the other hand, the other people in the car looked as usual, without any discomfort caused by the high speed, and seemed to have gotten used to it.
Most of the people got off at this stop, and the moment they opened the door, they walked towards the woolen area.
Bai Jing sat on the bench outside to relax for a long time, and only slightly restrained the desire to vomit.
At the entrance of Gu's No. 5 woolen area.
Bai Jing pointed the optical brain at the detection instrument, and a sweet electronic voice sounded: "The citizen with ID 1053166247 has passed the credit review, please enter."
As soon as he entered the hall, the detector behind him sounded a warning: "Warning! Warning! The citizen with ID 982348501 failed the credit review and will be deprived of the Gu's Mine's permission to gamble!"
"Fuck, isn't it just a loan of 10,000 star coins that hasn't been repaid? I'll bet on it!" A middle-aged man with a crazy expression was dragged out of the gate by two tall men in uniform.
Bai Jing didn't look back, and walked straight into the bright hall.
There are five entrances on the right side of the hall, with the words "AE" marked on them; there is only one entrance on the left side of the hall, marked with the letter "S".
Hundreds of blue reception robots shuttled in the hall, as long as you swipe on the central screen with your optical brain, they will take the initiative to answer questions.
Bai Jing swept behind the others, and a blue robot came to him with a 'da da da'.
[G5178 robot is at your service, and Xiaolan will solve any problems of the guests. ] The chubby blue little fat man's eyes narrowed into two horizontal lines, looking very cute.
Bai Jing: "Excuse me, what do the letters at the entrance represent?" He has just been exposed to gambling stones, and he doesn't understand many common sense things.
[Xiaolan’s reply: These letters represent the grade of the woolen area.
Whenever a batch of rough stones comes to the Gu's wool area, many professional stone gamblers will divide them into sections to ensure that the price and quality of the rough stones are relatively matched.
The wool in the S area is the highest level, which is mainly auctioned; the E area is the lowest level.]
Bai Jing: "What is the approximate price of woolen materials in Districts D and E?"
[Xiao Lan replied: There are three grades of wool in the D-grade wool area, and the prices are 1W, 3W, and 5W star coins;
The E-grade wool area, also known as the waste area, sells for 500 coins per kilogram of wool.]
"Okay, thank you." Bai Jing looked at the balance on his optical brain, and there were only less than 20,000 star coins, which can only be screened in the E-grade wool material area at present.
[You're welcome, do you have any questions? Xiaolan will answer for you immediately.]
"No need for now." He planned to go directly to the E-grade wool area to choose wool.
[Please comment on the service of robot G5178, 5 points means you are very satisfied, thank you.]
Bai Jing clicked on the option with only 5 points with a blank face, and received a thank you from the little blue fat man, and then he ran to the next customer with a 'da da da'.
***
Area E had the most people, and Bai Jing waited in line for several minutes before he was able to enter.
There are several rows of long stone platforms in the vast space. Each stone platform is divided into hundreds of grids, large and small, separated by transparent special materials in the middle.
A piece of wool is displayed in each grid, and next to it is a small bucket of clear water and tools such as strong lights necessary for betting on stones. The number is written on the bottom, and there are thousands of pieces of wool.
There are a lot of people in the E-grade wool area, some of them go together to observe the wool in the same grid, and some of them choose slowly by themselves, and everyone looks very seriously.
Bai Jing intends to stay here all the time today to observe the characteristics of the wool at close range.
This week, he has learned a lot about stone gambling on Xingwang, and has also used holographic technology to touch wool, but it is not as effective as practicing in the stone gambling field.
When gambling on stones, the first thing to check is the crystallization of the surface of the wool leather shell.
Generally speaking, rough leather has large crystals, soft structure, low hardness and poor transparency. This kind of rough leather is not suitable for gambling stones.
On the other hand, fine leather has small crystals, compact structure, fine texture, high hardness and good transparency. If there is jade in it, it is generally of the top grade.
The crystallization of the sand leather material is between the former two, and the quality changes greatly, but there is no lack of good materials in it, and it is highly speculative. [Note 1]
After understanding the initial judgment criteria, Bai Jing did not use his perception, but observed the woolen materials one by one along the stone platform.
As far as his current perception is concerned, there are only ten opportunities to explore the wool, which must not be wasted.
The first thing Bai Jing observed was the wool material numbered E1.
This piece of wool is about the size of a basketball, irregular oval, and the surface is off-white, covered with sand-like material, which is a white sand skin shell.
Touching it with his hands, it felt a bit rough to the touch, and the surface dried quickly after being sprinkled with water, indicating that the wool was not in good condition, so he quickly looked away.
Next, Bai Jing looked along the numbers one by one.
He first observes the surface of the leather shell and touches the texture of the wool surface with his hands to judge the thickness of the crystals.
When the judgment is inaccurate, scoop a little water and pour it on the surface of the woolen material, and observe how fast the water dries on the stone. [Note 2]
Because Bai Jing's ability is a perception ability, his five senses are also much stronger than others, and his sense of the surface of wool is more accurate.
By observing the surface of a whole row of wool, he has been able to accurately judge the degree of crystallization of the leather.
After eliminating all the rough leather materials, we only picked more than ten best-performing fine leather materials and sand leather materials, and recorded the numbers to continue observation.
The second step of gambling on stones is to observe the green color on the wool, that is, the pine flower.
Songhua refers to the green accumulations that can analyze and judge gambling stones.
As the saying goes: "It is better to buy a line than to buy a piece." It means that there are large patches of green on the surface but there is no emerald inside. [Note 3]
From this point of view, half of the more than ten woolen materials have been excluded, leaving seven.
According to the direction of the python's belt, the distribution of ringworm, and the presence or absence of cracks, etc., Bai Jing left the last three wools that basically met the characteristics.
Looking at the three wools that were finally selected, Bai Jingshen took a deep breath, put his hand on the first wool, pretending to observe carefully, and manipulated his perception to slowly penetrate into the interior.
A minute later, he withdrew his hand, the wool was lifeless and there was no emerald.
He came to the second piece of wool not far away, and did the same thing, penetrating his perception into the wool, but there was still no response.
He looked at the third piece of woolen material. The external performance of this woolen material was actually not as good as the two just now, but for some reason, Bai Jing caught his eye when he saw it.
The perception is condensed into a thin line and goes deep along the surface of the wool, and the active reaction is felt as soon as it enters the epidermis. The reaction was not very strong, but it extended all the way to the bottom. Bai Jing roughly estimated that it should weigh six to seven kilograms.
He immediately scanned the code below with his optical brain, and bought the piece of wool for 5,000 star coins.
The moment he got the woolen material, Bai Jing felt a sense of satisfaction that he had not seen for a long time, and a smile overflowed unconsciously on his lips.
He finally understood why so many people like to gamble on stones. The excitement of betting on the right treasure among so many woolen materials is really fascinating!
The self-driving white shopping cart came to his side in time, Bai Jing held the piece of wool with both hands, and put it in carefully.
Then, Bai Jing carefully observed nearly 50 woolen materials, and finally selected five relatively better performers. His speed was much faster than before, this time it took less than two hours.
The five pieces of wool were detected by the perception force, except for one of which had a very weak active reaction, the others were all dead.
And the jade in the piece of wool that had a weak reaction was only the size of a table tennis ball, probably not even half the cost.
During the whole morning, Bai Jing inspected more than one hundred pieces of woolen material, detected eight pieces with his perception, and finally found only one piece of material that could produce emeralds.
It has to be said that the probability of this is terribly low.
Area E deserves to be the leftovers area. Wool materials with slightly better performance are rare, and of course the price is cheap enough.
Bai Jing watched the steady flow of people in District E, and planned to visit District D, hoping that District D could bring him more different experiences.
