Chapter 241 Gambling Street! I'll teach my boss a lesson
……

"Master Jingyun."

Ji Shengqing led Chen Jingyun and his party through the buildings with carved beams and painted rafters, and introduced this extremely prosperous street in a neither arrogant nor humble manner, "This [Duobao Street] has a history of tens of thousands of years. At first, the Zhenbei Wang family opened a [Duobao Pavilion] here, specializing in selling or accepting customized various refining artifacts, magic weapons and spiritual boats."

"However, although the treasures in Duobao Pavilion are good, they are expensive. Not everyone can afford them. Therefore, many families bought shops nearby to sell and customize treasures of lower quality. Over time, the scale of this street has become larger and larger, and the variety of refining artifacts has become more and more diverse. Therefore, this whole street is called [Duobao Street]."

Chen Jingyun and his group strolled leisurely along the street, admiring the surrounding wonders and exotic objects that were very different from the styles of the Great Wu Kingdom, and listening to Ji Shengqing explain the origin and stories of this place. They were truly quite relaxed and contented.

"That's not right." Master Changsheng muttered to himself, "Why did I hear that this place is called [Gambling Street]? I wonder how many people have lost their fortunes here~"

Face doubts.

Ji Shengqing was not angry, and continued to speak calmly: "This matter still has to start from more than 10,000 years ago. At that time, the young master of the Zhenbei Wang family invented the activity of [betting on treasures] and promoted it in his own Duobao Pavilion. It became popular throughout the imperial city for a time."

"Other shops saw the booming gambling business at Duobao Pavilion, so they began to follow suit, and gradually formed the current gambling street. The word "gambling" is actually a homonym of "Duobao". As the word spread, it replaced the original two words."

"It is precisely because of the popularity of the Treasure Gambling Street that many treasure gambling methods have gradually spread abroad. The Great Wu Kingdom where you are must also have treasure gambling stalls. They must have originated from this street, and the source is Duobao Pavilion."

It turned out to be the case.

Everyone suddenly realized, and when they looked at Ji Shengqing again, they seemed to be more serious and less contemptuous.

Although this person is only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, his knowledge and conversation are extraordinary.

No matter what they were interested in, he could tell them about it at will. It was obvious that he had a deep understanding of everything in Tianxufang, which was why he was able to do this.

Even Chen Jingyun was somewhat surprised after listening to his explanation.

He recalled that he had won the Golden Sword in a gambling game at Sheshan Market. It turned out that this way of playing originated from here.

Subsequently.

Ji Shengqing then introduced two popular gambling methods in the gambling street.

"The first way to gamble on treasures is to pile up all those random treasures that have been purchased without appraisal or disguised after appraisal to fill up an entire room. The gambler only needs to pay a sum of spirit stones and can choose one at will. Winning or losing is up to fate."

"This kind of gambling method does not guarantee the authenticity of the goods. It is very likely that there is not a single treasure in the whole room. But the good thing is that if you get extremely lucky, you may have a chance to pick up a real top-level treasure."

After a pause, Ji Shengqing continued, "However, as more and more merchants are engaged in counterfeiting, and the identification skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, very few people can win treasures from this kind of gambling method."

"Therefore, another way of gambling treasures is more popular now. The owner of the gambling stall will display a hundred treasures on the stall, among which there must be one 'big treasure', five 'medium treasures', and twenty 'small treasures'. The market price of the big treasure is not less than thirty times the gambling money, the medium treasure is not less than five times the gambling money, and the small treasure can be close to the gambling money."

"For example, this gambling stall." Ji Shengqing pointed at a gambling stall casually and said, "Each bet at this gambling stall is 100 spirit stones, so the value of the big treasure should be no less than 3000 spirit stones, the value of the medium treasure should be no less than 500 spirit stones, and the value of the small treasure should be no less than 100 spirit stones. If the gambler is not satisfied with the treasure in the bet, he can directly ask the gambling stall to pay the corresponding spirit stone reward."

"Wait a minute." Chen Xinlei couldn't help but frowned as he listened. "The big treasure is worth thirty times, the medium treasure is worth twenty-five times, and the small treasure is worth twenty times. Adding up, it's only seventy-five times. If I buy a hundred bets at once, wouldn't I lose twenty-five bets?"

"Stupid, I've already said it's gambling. Isn't the merchant's profit from this 25% turnover?" Chen Shiyun glared at his brother unhappily, "What have you learned in these years? Don't you know that food and daily necessities are expensive?"

Chen Shiyun has been following her mother to run a spinach stall since she was young, and she is very familiar with all the ins and outs involved.

On the contrary, Chen Xinlei, who was not even 30 years old and whose mother had long stopped using spinach to make money, naturally didn't understand.

As for why the two of them are here.

The reason is very simple. At the beginning, they wanted to follow their master and work as a team.

But after a very stingy lunch, and after hearing rumors that their parents had spent 700,000 or 800,000 spirit stones in one go at the Xianyi Pavilion, the siblings no longer wanted to participate in any activities with the sect, and came straight to join their parents.

Even if there is nothing else, it is good to eat with your parents, this is called life~

At the same time, Chen Shiyun's little friend, Gongsun Keming, also came along to chat with her.

This girl has a delicate and weak temperament. She always hangs on Chen Shiyan's arm, looking so pitiful. At first glance, she is a typical green tea girl.

"Miss Shiyun is right." Ji Shengqing heard Chen Shiyun's words, bowed to her, and said with a smile, "The main profit point of the gambling stall is the 25%. However, this is also a game that tests the gambling stall owner's ability to make old treasures, and the gamblers' vision."

"Daddy." Chen Shiyun became interested as he listened, and looked at the gambling stalls around him with golden eyes. "I am quite knowledgeable about the art of refining weapons, and I want to try this gambling game."

She has been praised as a genius in refining equipment since she was a child. She learned from Master Xuanyang, but she is even better than her master. Her master has said on countless occasions that my disciple Shi Yan's future achievements in refining equipment will definitely far exceed mine, Xuanyang.

Chen Jingyun frowned and was about to say something, but Wang Qianqian smiled and took over the conversation: "Then go and give it a try."

"My wife..." Chen Jingyun was actually very opposed to gambling, and he suddenly felt unhappy.

He came to gamble for treasures at the order of his great-grandfather, and the word "gambling" was not involved at all, he was purely picking up treasures.

"My dear, some things just don't make sense when you talk about them." Wang Qianqian said with a smile, "She thinks she has a great eye for identifying refining tools. If she doesn't hit a wall, how can she know how big the world is?"

"Then be careful about your behavior." Chen Jingyun said.

Seeing that his parents agreed, Chen Shiyun walked over to the gambling stall and prepared to pick one to practice on.

Her eyes first swept over the one hundred treasures displayed by the gambling stall owner. These treasures were old and new, big and small, but each one looked as if it had an extraordinary origin and a very rich historical background.

After a while.

Chen Shiyun took out a hundred spirit stone tickets and chose a gourd-shaped treasure.

She was sure that the gourd had a restrained and subtle spiritual aura and must be a good spiritual weapon.

Gongsun Keming, who was standing by, stared with watery eyes, her face full of admiration and hope. With her financial status, one hundred spirit stones was not a small amount.

After taking the gourd, Chen Shiyun couldn't wait to inject spiritual power into it to activate it.

But the next moment, her pretty face fell: "How is it possible? This is actually a piece of rubbish~~~"

It is just a piece of rubbish, naturally it is not worth even a single spirit stone.

Gongsun Keming persuaded from the side: "Sister Shiyun, the treasures in this gambling stall must be fake. Let's not gamble anymore."

Seeing Chen Shiyun lose a hundred spirit stones in one breath, she felt so heartbroken.

"This lady actually has a good eye. You almost won the bet." The owner of the gambling stall said with a smile, "The [big treasure] in my stall is indeed a gourd-type treasure."

There are eight gourd-like treasures on his gambling stall.

"Haha, I don't believe you." Chen Shiyun has been running a spinach stall since he was a child, and he is also an old spinach dealer. He felt that the owner of the gambling stall was playing tricks, so he pretended to be unbelieving.

Seeing a hint of pride flash across the boss's eyes, she was determined in her heart. She immediately took out 800 spirit stone tickets and threw them in front of the boss, and said decisively: "Give me all the eight gourds."

The boss's face changed and he became hesitant.

Chen Shiyun was not going to tolerate him and said that he had already paid the spirit stones. He then casually grabbed all eight gourds in mid-air and then examined them one by one.

Ordinary, ordinary, ordinary, a medium-grade magical instrument...

Among the eight gourds, there was only one mid-grade magical instrument gourd, and its quality was very ordinary, worth only about a hundred spirit stones.

Chen Shiyun was a little shaky and could hardly believe his eyes.

This boss was too cunning, he tricked her directly. She rolled up her sleeves and sneered: "Boss, you are not honest, you are tricking me with words."

"Ah, this, girl, don't you believe it?"

"you……"

Chen Shiyun was speechless.

I spent nine hundred spirit stones to buy such a piece of junk?
Ji Shengqing on the side said quickly: "Miss Shiyun, verbal probing is one of the rules of gambling, but these gambling stall owners are all shrewd people, and ordinary customers can't compete with them."

"Girl, there are only ninety-one treasures left. If you place more bets, the probability of getting a big treasure will become higher and higher." The gambling stall owner continued to tempt her.

"Okay, let's make another bet." Chen Shiyun took out a hundred spirit stones.

"Sister Shiyun..." Gongsun Keming was about to cry, "Let's not gamble anymore, okay?"

"Ming'er, don't worry. Let's see how your sister Shiyun wins back the treasure." Chen Shiyun raised the corner of his mouth and continued to scan the ninety-one "treasures" on the gambling stall. At the same time, he shouted, "Please, ancestor, show up and help me succeed in gambling."

She shouted but did not crush her golden jade token.

Chen Xuanmo, who was watching the fun in the form of a heroic spirit, was suddenly speechless.

Tuantuan is really good at calculating. Even though the golden jade token was crushed, she has to spend her family contribution to exchange it for it.

And you can just take it directly from your ancestors without having to pay.

Okay, okay~

Chen Xuanmo said that his love had been transferred, but in fact he still doted on Tuantuan very much. After all, he had raised Tuantuan since childhood.

Immediately, he consumed 100 strands of purple energy on the spot and gave her a golden mark.

The mark shattered instantly as soon as it was formed.

At the same time, the small dark green shield hanging on Chen Jingyun's waist like an accessory vibrated with a buzzing sound.

Chen Shiyun understood immediately.

She swept her eyes across the gambling stall, and finally, she picked up a seemingly ordinary small fan at random, and took it directly without waiting for the boss to say anything.

"I want this one."

The boss's face changed instantly.

As Chen Shiyun injected spiritual power into it, the next moment, the small fan lit up, and a red light like a flame flowed across the fan. She waved her hand casually, and a cloud of fire fluttered away.

This is a mid-grade flame-type spiritual fan, and the market price of this kind of treasure is usually around several thousand spirit stones!
Ji Shengqing was completely stunned.

This, how is this possible?

The gambling stall owner's face turned even paler.

He disguised this treasure very well and made him a lot of money, but he didn't expect that it would be gambled away by this little girl.

"Sister Shiyun is so amazing!" Gongsun Keming's face flushed with excitement. She held Chen Shiyun's arm and jumped up and down, "We made money, we made a lot of money~!"

"Actually, it's not that much of a profit." Chen Shiyun said proudly, "I spent a thousand spirit stones to gamble on such a thing. My gambling luck is just average~"

Chen Jingyun glared at her unhappily.

This damn girl, she said that she had a good eye for refining equipment, but in the end, she still had to ask the ancestors for help?

Just when the gambling stall owner was looking annoyed.

Suddenly, a shout came from the other side of the gambling street: "Little Prince Guangzhi is out patrolling the streets, everyone cheer up."

In an instant, Gambling Street became as lively as boiling water.

Even the gambling stall owner who had been feeling frustrated just now suddenly became energetic, and started moving goods out of the warehouse as if he had been injected with chicken blood. In just a short while, he set up a new gambling stall and began to look forward to the arrival of the "Little Prince Guangzhi".

Their reaction made Chen Jingyun and the others curious.

Where did this "Little Prince Guangzhi" come from that caused such a big reaction from these gambling stall owners?
Their eyes unconsciously looked towards the other end of the gambling street.

soon.

A young man in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by a group of followers, strolled along the street in a swaggering manner.

Chen Jingyun and others looked at him carefully and their expressions suddenly changed.

Putting aside the appearance of this "Little Prince Guangzhi", his outfit alone is extremely eye-catching.

The clothes he was wearing were obviously not those ready-made clothes in the Xianyi Shop, but the material was somewhat similar to the ice gauze dress worn by Master Hong Fu. It was just as radiant and noble, and the close-fitting cut and extremely fine workmanship were in no way inferior to the highest-grade fairy clothes in the Xianyi Shop.

He was already quite handsome, and with this outfit, his whole temperament seemed otherworldly, with a bit of ethereal and noble air.

The jade crown on his head, the jade pendant around his waist, and the folding fan in his hand were also full of spiritual energy and exquisite, and they were not ordinary items.

Obviously, this is a man with plenty of money.

Perhaps because his wallet was full, his every move was exceptionally calm.

He walked and looked, his eyes lingering on the gambling stalls. When he was interested, he randomly selected a stall and bought a dozen or twenty items, and then basically lost all of them. Then, he started to visit the next stall.

In a short period of time, tens of thousands of spirit stones were spent, but the return on investment was very small.

The crowd that followed behind him to watch the fun, as soon as they saw Prince Guangzhi leaving a stall after making his purchase, would immediately rush to that stall and scramble to place bets and buy.

After all, the young prince has bought all the garbage, and if he continues to gamble, the probability of winning will increase greatly.

Not long after, someone actually won a mid-grade spiritual weapon by betting small on a big stake, which immediately caused cheers at the scene.

Chen Shiyun looked at this scene with shock on his face, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Isn't this guy a fool?"

"Miss, what are you talking about?" The "Little Prince Guangzhi" raised his eyebrows and locked his eyes accurately on Chen Shiyun in the crowd, "I'm training my eyesight~"

His cultivation was obviously not low. Even though the surroundings were so noisy, he could still accurately capture Chen Shiyan's voice.

"...Are you training your eyesight by losing money?" Chen Shiyun tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking back with a confused look on his face.

"Why, it's not possible? I placed hundreds of bets, but none of them won the big prize. Isn't this a reflection of my good eyesight?"

"..."

Chen Shiyun was speechless.
