"Who on earth is this woman? Does she really have that many spirit crystals?" Some people were extremely curious when they saw Feng Yuqin leading Chu Xiaomian and Xiaolinger to choose gambling stones.
Both Xiaolinger and Chu Xiaomian chose on their own, but Feng Yuqin had Xiaojin's help.
Of course, she also made some choices herself. Xiaojin thought that although his master was a bit weaker than him in choosing gambling stones, she was still much stronger than Chu Xiaomian.
As for Xiaolinger... Xiaojin took a look at the gambling stones Xiaolinger had chosen in the space and commented, "Sure enough, she's the master's daughter. She has good talents in all aspects."
In the field of gambling stones, besides spiritual sense, there's also a kind of sense of perception.
When Feng Yuqin told Xiaolinger to use her spiritual sense, she wanted Xiaolinger to calm down.
Because Xiaolinger had been in an excited state ever since she entered the gambling - stone workshop.
Such emotions would be of no use in choosing gambling stones without special abilities.
The young man in charge of reception saw the way the three of them chose gambling stones and thought they were just choosing randomly. So he kindly reminded, "Madam, actually, there are also gambling stones on the upper floor. The ones down here are not as good as those on the upper floor. So you can save some spirit crystals and choose on the upper floor later."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin looked at the young man in surprise. "What's your name?"
The young man was stunned for a moment and replied, "My name is Cai Heng."
"With the surname Cai?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows. "Could it be the Cai family among the top ten great families?"
Cai Heng nodded. "It's that Cai family. But I'm just a side - branch member."
"Even if you're a side - branch member, you shouldn't be working in the gambling - stone city," Feng Yuqin thought the Cai family was quite large and powerful.
They should be able to arrange something for the side - branch members.
"My family did arrange something for me, but I like gambling stones more, so I came to the gambling - stone city." Cai Heng didn't think there was anything to hide about this.
Feng Yuqin showed that she understood. "When I first came in, you said there were also gambling stones on the upper floor. So we'll go up there to choose after we're done here."
Cai Heng: "..."
So was his persuasion just in vain?
Feng Yuqin could also tell that Cai Heng meant well, so she added, "Don't worry. I'm not choosing randomly."
Not only Cai Heng didn't believe this, but the on - lookers around also wouldn't believe it.
The way Feng Yuqin casually chose looked like a rich fool just choosing randomly!
Cai Heng was a very tactful person. Seeing Feng Yuqin's attitude, he didn't try to persuade her anymore.
After Feng Yuqin finished choosing on the first floor, she went to the second floor.
When choosing on the second floor, she was even more aggressive.
She was also much faster than before.
It was only because Xiaojin said in the space, "Master, in the first row, the third, fifth, ninth, twelfth from the left, the..."
Then Feng Yuqin quickly picked out the ones Xiaojin mentioned.
She was almost completely immersed in the world of choosing gambling stones and didn't notice at all that the people around had gone from initial doubt and shock to having their mouths wide open in an O - shape.
Xiaojin's mouth kept chattering, "The fifth and ninth in the third row..."
The more Xiaojin talked, the more excited he got.
After Feng Yuqin finished choosing, she just realized that she had chosen so many gambling stones.
Xiaolinger and Chu Xiaomian also chose quite a few gambling stones, but they were still far behind Feng Yuqin.
After Feng Yuqin finished choosing, she went to look at the gambling stones Xiaolinger had chosen. If there were white stones, Feng Yuqin would pick them out.
However, the white stones among the ones they chose were relatively few. There was always something in them.
After Xiaojin told her what was inside, Feng Yuqin kept all of them regardless of whether the value inside was worth the price of the gambling stones.
Finally, all the white stones were picked out.
Feng Yuqin stared at these gambling stones. After keeping a part of them, she put the rest into the space.
"Madam, do you want to start cutting the gambling stones now?" Cai Heng saw that Feng Yuqin didn't plan to choose any more gambling stones and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Of course." Feng Yuqin didn't have the tools for cutting gambling stones. And almost every one of the ones she had chosen had something in it. So she was thinking about whether to get a set of such tools.
Cai Heng helped her collect the gambling stones left outside and led them to a large hall next to the first floor to cut the gambling stones.
There were already several stone - cutting masters busy inside.
When they saw Cai Heng coming in, they immediately greeted him.
After Cai Heng responded to the stone - cutting masters, he led Feng Yuqin to wait beside them.
Fortunately, these people didn't choose gambling stones like Feng Yuqin did.
They basically only had a few gambling stones, so they were cut relatively quickly.
Feng Yuqin's eyes fell on one of the gambling stones. A young man beside her stared fixedly at that stone.
When the master made the first cut, there was nothing. The young man's face turned pale.
When the master made the second cut, there was still nothing.
The young man's face became even paler, and he murmured to himself, "It's impossible. I clearly felt there was something in it. How could there be nothing?"
The stone - cutting master seemed to be used to such a scene. With a calm face, he continued to make the third cut. Still, there was nothing.
This time, the young man couldn't take it anymore. He just slumped to the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.
"It's over, it's over. I've used all my last spirit crystals to buy gambling stones. If I lose..." The young man didn't finish his words.
Feng Yuqin was speechless about such a gambler.
After all, gambling meant facing risks.
"Master, that man's younger sister is sick and can't be cured. It requires a lot of spirit crystals. This man doesn't have enough spirit crystals on him, so he came to the gambling - stone workshop to take a chance," Hun Bing sensed his master's emotions, took a look at the man, and read his thoughts with mind - reading skills.
Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows and responded with her spiritual sense, "Is the gap in spirit crystals very large?"
"Very large. These gambling stones basically cost ten or a hundred spirit crystals. His younger sister's condition requires at least hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals. And this time he chose two gambling stones worth a hundred spirit crystals each. He's completely taking a desperate chance. If he wins, both he and his sister will live. If he loses..." Hun Bing paused and added, "Both he and his sister will die."
Feng Yuqin sighed. She understood.
She hadn't been at the bottom for a long time, and she almost forgot how hard life was for these people at the bottom.
However, she thought that such gambling could also lead to despair.
"This is already the fifth cut. There probably aren't any crystals left in it," the master didn't want to continue cutting.
Because according to experience, there would hardly be any left later.
"Master, there are still crystals in it," Xiaojin's voice sounded. "Moreover, they're good crystals."
Feng Yuqin's eyes fell on the gambling stone that had been cut off two - thirds, but she didn't say a word.
"Wh... What? There's nothing?" The young man looked completely devastated.
