Before going to District D, Bai Jing randomly picked out a piece of wool with a relatively small size in District E, and bought it for 1,000 star coins.
He had just detected it with his perception, and there was no emerald in this piece of wool. In this way, two pieces of wool will not be too eye-catching if the price of two pieces of wool goes up one by one, and the other bets on the cross.
The layout of the D-grade wool area is not much different from that of the E area. The only difference is that the wool is placed in three categories, marked with prices of 1W, 3W, and 5W, and the protection is stricter.
There are also quite a few people in District D, most of them are alone or in groups of three or two, but there is a group of people who are very conspicuous, there are about 20 of them, and they are surrounded by a luxuriously dressed young man like a star. vast.
After a glance, Bai Jing withdrew his gaze and began to observe the wool carefully.
The wool in D area is obviously much better than that in E area, most of them are fine leather and sand leather.
If there is any rough leather, it is also with pine flowers or python belts, etc., each with its own characteristics, and each has a certain degree of gambleability. It is difficult to distinguish good from bad based on Bai Jing's current knowledge.
It seems that betting on stones is far from as simple as he imagined.
Even if you have a lot of theoretical knowledge, you are familiar with all kinds of woolen materials; but without rich experience in stone gambling, systematic guidance, or a little bit of luck, you can't solve the emerald.
What's more, Bai Jing's theoretical knowledge is still in its infancy.
He walked along the stone platform while observing, and wrote down a few notes in his notebook from time to time.
After a while, Bai Jing keenly heard noisy discussions not far away. He looked up and found that many people were pointing around a piece of woolen material, it was the same group of people just now.
The others were attracted by the discussion, and more and more people gathered around the piece of wool.
The young man surrounded by the crowd was about twenty years old, wearing a good-quality silk shirt, with handsome features, and the unique arrogance of a rich man on his face.
At this time, his chin was slightly lifted, and he was quite proudly talking to the people around him.
Bai Jing saw a silver badge pinned to the young man's chest, with a circle of pentagrams on the outside and the word "three" marked in the center.
In fact, he had seen this kind of badge on the stone gamblers who fought in Gu's stone gambling shop, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now it seems that it should be a symbol of the stone gambler's identity.
The young man's name was Min Qingshi, and he became a third-level stone gambler at the age of twenty-two, with outstanding qualifications. But he just lost a stone betting battle, and he was very depressed.
Hearing that Young Master Gu has come to Proxima Centauri, Min Qingshi, who is a stone gambler, immediately signed up to participate in the stone betting battle, and spent a whole day carefully selecting five pieces of wool.
Last night, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He wanted to show himself well in front of his sweetheart, but he didn't expect that all the materials he picked out from thousands of people would collapse!
And the one who was fighting against him was just an insignificant second-level stone gambler, but he just picked out jadeite!
Although it was a piece of anthracite jadeite with poor water quality, it undoubtedly hit young master Min's self-esteem deeply and made him feel hatred.
How dare he embarrass him in front of the idol he admires the most—
When Min Qingshi left the stone gambling shop with a gloomy face, he sent someone to quietly stop the second-level stone gambling master in a secluded place, and beat him severely to relieve his anger.
Then he came here to relax, and deliberately chose the 'D' area where the price of rough stones is lower.
Seeing the group of rubbish around him who are not even stone gambling apprentices trying their best to praise him because of the silver medal on his chest, he finally felt better.
If he can find a good jadeite in the 'D' area, Gu Shao must also look at him with admiration.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he lowered his body to explain to everyone: "I said just now that betting on stones not only depends on the distribution of crystals on the surface, the pine flowers and python belts on it, but also the ringworm and cracks.
Cracks refer to the cracks on the wool, the big ones are called cracks, and the small ones are called locks. As the saying goes: "It's better to bet on color than to bet on strands, don't be afraid of big cracks and small strands". "[Note]
"Look at this piece of wool, it seems to be doing well, but—"
Min Qingshi's white-gloved fingers pointed to the very tiny cracks on the bottom of the wool, "This fine lock is hidden deep and has spread to the inside. If you don't look carefully, you can't detect it at all. If you buy it, it will definitely collapse."
Min Qingshi thought the wool was dirty, so he wore white gloves on weekdays. This pair of gloves is the most cutting-edge technology product, priced at one million star coins, and it feels like nothing when worn, and there is no difference in the feel of direct contact.
"Wow, it's really a crack. It's too much a test of eyesight. It's impossible for another person to see it."
"Yeah, Young Master Min is really powerful, he is worthy of being a third-level stone gambler!"
"Thanks to Min Shao for explaining to everyone, let us learn another lesson."
Hearing everyone's compliments, Min Qingshi couldn't help but feel elated.
Hmph, his eyesight was praised by Master Gu Liubai, who is an eighth-level stone gambler. Unfortunately, the most honorable stone gambler in the empire never accepts apprentices easily, and he is a direct descendant of the Gu family. helpless.
Bai Jing joined the crowd just now, listening carefully to the young man's explanation, while carefully observing the piece of wool.
The time he had been in contact with gambling stones was too short, and it was the time when he was eager to absorb knowledge.
The young man did speak very well, which shows that he has received very formal training. However, Bai Jing has a slightly different view on the judgment of this piece of wool.
It is true that the other party's eyesight is excellent, but Bai Jing has the extraordinary eyesight brought by the supernatural ability, and he can see more thoroughly than the young man.
There were indeed several cracks at the bottom of the wool, but they did not go deep into the interior, but were affected by the cracks and dryness of the wool itself, thus creating an illusion of depth.
In order to prove his conjecture, Bai Jing probed his perception into the inside of the wool, and sure enough, he felt a super active reaction when he was approaching the center, even more active than the ice jade that Li Yu opened last time!
'This is very likely to be glass jadeite! '
Bai Jing's heart moved, and he immediately planned to buy this piece of wool. Glass jadeite is rare but hard to find. Now that he has found it, he will never give it up to others.
There are more than 10,000 star coins left in his account, which is just enough to buy the 10,000-dollar wool.
As noon approached, there were more and more people in Area D. When the new guests saw a group of people gathered here, they surrounded them curiously.
Bai Jing lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes fluttered like a small fan, and a silhouette was sprinkled behind the lens.
He originally planned to wait until the youth and his party had left before buying the wool, so as not to attract unnecessary attention, but now it might be too late. If someone else preempts—
Without further ado, Bai Jing avoided the crowd and came to the wool. The light brain scanned the number marked 'D025', showing that the payment was completed, and carefully put the wool into the shopping cart.
His actions naturally did not hide the eyes of others.
Seeing that this young man in frugal clothes and old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses bought the woolen material they just discussed, everyone's eyes became contemptuous, and some were surprised.
"Young man, didn't you hear, Young Master Min said that there are cracks at the bottom of the woolen fabric."
"Tch, I saw him just now, as a novice, he didn't listen to advice, he deserved to be blocked!"
"Damn, you want to make money, are you crazy, dare to buy such a stone?"
"Hey, look at what he's wearing. This kind of slum guy wants to get rich overnight? I'm so laughing—"
Bai Jing turned a deaf ear to all the taunts, his face was terribly calm.
These people can't hurt him no matter how much they say, it's not as powerful as the claws of zombies in the last days.
Today he harvested quite a lot, two of the three pieces of wool he bought contained jadeite, and one of them was a rare glass variety.
He planned to untie the other two pieces of wool first, and then pick one or two pieces of cheap wool when the crowd cleared up, and untie the glass piece together.
In this way, even if someone sees it, they will only think that he is lucky and will not doubt anything.
Just as Bai Jing was about to leave, an extremely angry voice came from behind: "Stop!"
Bai Jing didn't intend to pay attention to it, but was surrounded by more than 20 young people who followed him, firmly blocking his way.
Min Qingshi looked up and down Bai Jing with uncomfortable eyes. When he saw the other party's plain attire and the leftovers in the shopping cart, contempt flashed in his eyes, and a disgusted expression appeared on his face.
'Heh, it's so dirt, it's from the slums. '
Min Qingshi basically confirmed the other party's identity, and spoke even more arrogantly: "Just you, put that piece of wool back immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as a challenge to the authority of the third-level stone gambler!"
Bai Jing frowned, and said indifferently, "I've already bought this piece of wool."
Min Qingshi sneered, and looked down at Bai Jing: "So what if you buy it, I'll let you put it back. Don't you understand, you bastard from the slums!"
Bai Jing's eyes turned cold instantly: "What if I don't let go?"
"Then let's take a gamble on whether this wool will go up or down—I'm going to lose my bet.
If I win, you get down on your knees and apologize and go back to your ghetto, I'm sick of seeing you here. "
"If you win," Min Qingshi snorted, thinking it was a fantasy, "Seeing how poor you are, how about giving you half a million star coins?"
As soon as the words came out, the people around laughed and looked at Bai Jing with teasing and contempt.
As citizens of the empire, they have a natural sense of superiority over the waste from the slums. These useless waste should be extinct. Living is simply a waste of resources!
"Five million star coins." Bai Jing said calmly.
"No problem!" Min Qingshi smiled and brushed the broken hair in front of his forehead. It doesn't matter whether it is 500,000 or 5 million star coins, he will never lose!
And I can just take this opportunity to make a name for myself, so why not do it? If it is lucky enough to reach Gu Shao's ears, he will treat it differently——
"Come on, let's get rid of the stone."
Min Qingshi was very excited at this moment, even a little impatient, he wanted to let everyone know his extraordinary eyesight and stone gambling ability!
Bai Jing didn't say a word, and followed the other party in the direction of Jieshi. Those twenty people followed closely behind, attracting the attention of other people in Area D.
A young man and a few friends were touching a piece of wool and couldn't decide to pay attention. Seeing this crowd of people passing by, they couldn't help but patted one of them on the shoulder: "Brother, what's going on?"
"Hey, Young Master Min made a bet with a rookie who didn't know what to do, and the bet was quite big. Don't you all want to see that rookie kneel down and beg for mercy?"
After he finished speaking, he saw that the team had drawn a distance from himself, and hurriedly followed.
The young man and his friend looked at each other, wrote down the number of the wool in their hands, and followed suit.
***
When Bai Jing arrived at the Jieshi area, there were already many people following behind him.
There are twenty stone-resolving rooms here.
The first five are the VIP areas, which are only for wool materials above grade B to analyze stones, and the stone analysis masters are also the best; the last five are self-help stone analysis areas, where stone gambling masters can analyze stones by themselves.
No. 6-15 in the middle is the common stone-resolving area. According to the stone-resolving ability of the masters, they are arranged in descending order. The master of the stone-resolving room No. 6 needs 1,000 stars for one shot, and the lowest room No. 15 only needs 100 stars. .
Bai Jing directly chose Master Jie Shi from Room 15, which was also the cheapest.
He had inquired that the Shijie masters who could be hired by Gu's were very powerful, and they would hardly miss it.
Seeing this, Min Qingshi burst out laughing with a 'puchi'. The first thing he learned before becoming a stone gambler was to untangle stones, and the wool material he chose would be the most fulfilling when he unscrambled it in his own hands.
Even if Master Jieshi is selected, he will choose the best master in Room 6.
Tsk, the people in the slums are really poor, and they can't even pay for a good teacher.
There were about two or three people lined up in front of Room 15, and Bai Jing waited for a while before it was his turn. The people before him should have collapsed and walked out with a dejected look on their faces.
Bai Jing took out the wool material numbered 'D025' and handed it to Master Jieshi.
The surname of the stone-cleaning master in Room 15 is Wang, who is also the master here. He carefully observed the distribution of pine flowers on the surface of the wool and the distribution of the python belt, etc., and operated the stone cutter to cut along the direction of the thin strands.
This knife cut off the wool that was two fingers wide from the skin, and as expected, there were white stones inside, and there were many small cracks at the incision.
Bai Jing was not surprised. He felt that the emerald was near the middle, and there was still a distance from the place where it was cut off.
"There is no sign of turning green at all, so it's probably dead."
"Yeah, the knife has been cut down by nearly a third, and there is nothing!"
"The fine strands are all in, and even if there is emerald in it, it will be destroyed."
Everyone started to discuss, most of them were not optimistic, but there were also different voices. It was a middle-aged man with rich experience in stone gambling: "This is not necessarily true. Look at the crack showing signs of weakening. Maybe it will come out with a single blow." Green."
Min Qingshi looked at the middle-aged man with displeasure, and Xiao Ren, who was next to him, saw Min Shao's expression, and was overjoyed. This is a good opportunity to show off.
He hastily said in a loud voice: "Mr. Min has already seen this piece of woolen material. There are cracks at the bottom that go deep into the interior. It's just that we don't have such excellent eyesight as Mr. Min. This little brother obviously didn't repent when he heard it. I had no choice but to make a bet with him."
As soon as this remark came out, the middle-aged man who spoke just now fell silent.
He is just an amateur, but the other party is a third-level stone gambler. Maybe he really misread it
The people who followed halfway also understood, and looked at Min Qingshi with admiration, but shook their heads repeatedly when they turned to Bai Jingshi.
As a newcomer, I don’t learn the knowledge of stone gambling honestly, observe the experience of others in choosing stones, but think about opportunism all day long, and even go my own way when professional stone gamblers give advice. I really don’t know what is good or bad!
After the wool is completely untied, the face will be swollen.
Min Qingshi felt everyone's admiring gaze and gradually gaining fame, and gave Xiao Ren an appreciative glance. The latter secretly rejoiced, maybe this time he could catch up with Min Shao.
The Min family made their fortune by betting on stones. Although they are not as famous as the capital star's family, they can still be ranked in the Proxima star. If they can catch up with Min Shao, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune
Bai Jing's beautiful brown eyes stared intently at the woolen material, not paying attention to other people's words at all. After discussing with Master Jieshi, he began to cut the second knife.
Master Wang's technique was fast, steady, accurate, and clean. With the second cut, the crack at the incision disappeared, and a layer of translucent white misty crystals emerged instead.
He sprinkled some water on the incision, and illuminated it with a yellow light, the inside revealed a light green color, which was very gratifying.
"This... is this fog??" In the silent environment, someone whispered first.
"Is it fog, or white fog!"
"There is green in the fog, it's absolutely soaring—"
