The baby I picked up after crossing the road became the male protagonist

Chapter 348 Chapter 348: The First Bet on Stones

She only glanced at it from a distance with her divine sense, and then took it back.

The emperor's majestic voice came quickly: "Be flat."

After thanking everyone, they got up with a clatter.

You Xue and the others came too late, and they were almost at the end of the line. With a distance of several hundred meters, no matter how strong she was, she couldn't see the emperor's appearance clearly.

As for using divine sense to check at a close distance, it is easy to be discovered.

What followed was nothing more than the emperor's speech to encourage them.

"Warriors who have come from afar, welcome to the Imperial City... You may come from different cities, but you stand here today with only one common goal—"

The emperor paused for a moment, he was very excited today, and his complexion turned rosy which was rare.

He glanced around the audience and said, "Enter the Four Nations Tournament and win glory for the country! Can you do it?"

"can!"

The words came and went one after another, forming a wave of sound at the scene.

After that, the emperor left without saying anything more.

A group of people walked out, and You Xue was forced to follow closely behind.

She remembered that Fang Qing said that the emperor's health was not very good, and his biggest wish was to see the country win No.1 once.

……

After returning to Fourth Street, because of what the emperor said, everyone was very excited and began to practice with great energy.

You Xue chose to go out for a stroll at this time.

It's been five days since she came, but she hasn't visited the imperial city properly.

Xiaobai jumped on her shoulder, his curious eyes were no less than hers.

When passing by a street, there was a shop full of people, a group of people formed a circle, sometimes silent and sometimes cheering.

Youxue looked up, and the plaque on it was written with four big characters: Fenglaifengwu.

Gambling stones?

Youxue hasn't played it yet.

Then they squeezed all the way in, and successfully squeezed into the innermost part.

Now an old man is cutting stones, and there is a whole row of gambling stones on the table in front of him, ranging from large to small, in various shapes.

And the young man who just chose the stone stared nervously at the old man's movements.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, the old man did not panic. He took a special stone cutting tool and cut open the outermost layer in an orderly manner.

With his movements, the true face of Lushan Mountain of this stone was gradually revealed.

It was a fist-sized green gemstone with edges and corners, which looked very beautiful under the reflection of sunlight.

Someone around recognized the stone, pointed to it and exclaimed, "Emerald jade!"

The young man was just trying his luck and spent a few gold coins, but unexpectedly got a piece of emerald. He immediately smiled and took the emerald from the old man happily.

When he left, many people clung to him and wanted to touch his hand, which was dubbed: rubbing luck.

Although luck has arrived, no one dares to go up easily.

In the silence, a girl in blue walked up and asked the old man with a smile, "Do you choose the stone directly?"

Few people who come to gamble on stones are young, unless it is the kind of young lady who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on You Xue.

The old man glanced at her and nodded: "Yes, choose the stone first and then pay."

You Xue snorted, and glanced at the price tag under each stone, ranging from a few gold coins to thousands of gold coins.

Xiaobai opened his mouth slightly, and whispered in Youxue's ear: "I think the one on the far right is not bad."

You Xue raised her eyes and looked over, it was the biggest stone here, and of course, it was also the most expensive.

It was as tall as half an adult male, and it was worth five thousand gold coins.

You Xue glanced at it, then looked away, and said lightly, "It's too expensive, I can't afford it."

She came to gamble on stones just for fun and to have fun, but she didn't expect to choose such an expensive one.

She didn't deliberately hide these words, and everyone who was close to her heard them, and they all showed contemptuous expressions.

Someone whispered in a low voice: "The little girl is well dressed, I thought she was the daughter of some rich family, but I didn't expect that she couldn't afford five thousand gold coins."

Someone nearby sneered, "Maybe he came from some small town, and he thought the imperial city was his home."

"Tsk, I haven't seen the world before."

Before Youxue had any reaction, Xiaobai was very angry.

How dare they comment on a person who casually bought hundreds of millions of things at the Liuguang Auction House? ? ?
It snorted and choked directly: "The guy who looks down on people with a dog's eyes!"

Youxue + onlookers: "..."

Onlookers: "Chickens can talk???"

They had seen a lot of talking spirits, but this was the first time they saw a talking chicken.

It was only then that Xiaobai realized what was wrong with him, and quickly smiled at Youxue, "I'm so angry...hehe."

"..."

Youxue glanced at it flutteringly, Xiaobai scratched the back of his head with the tip of his wing in embarrassment, "Aren't you angry?"

Youxue is actually alright, seeing more and more strange people and strange things, if this is not painful, it will not make her have any special emotions.

However, she did have the urge to smash the hundreds of blood glazes that were kept in the storage space with spiritual spring water on the heads of these people.

But what a lady she is, isn't she?
She ignored the scrutinizing eyes of everyone around her, and chose the middle stone based on her feeling.

This stone has a medium position, a medium size, and a medium price, and is worth a thousand gold coins.

She took out a purse, which was full of a thousand gold coins, and handed it to the old man, "Have you counted enough?"

This is the money she got from auctioning the Body Tempering Pill at the Liuguang Auction House, to be precise, it was You Ting's money.

There is a special person counting gold coins next to it. It seems that everyone in this line of work has a quick way to count gold coins, and they have a pair of sharp eyes.

In just a moment, the person who counted the gold coins nodded to the old man, "That's enough, exactly one thousand gold coins."

The faces of those who laughed at You Xue just now were a little stiff, but they quickly returned to normal.

There is a huge difference between one thousand gold coins and five thousand gold coins.

After paying the money, You Xue handed the selected stone to the old man.

Xiaobai asked curiously beside him, "What did you choose based on?"

It was ready to listen carefully, but You Xue said, "Based on feeling."

noob:"……"

It feels a little distressed about the thousand gold coins, it can feel that there is nothing good in it, the best thing in the audience is in the biggest stone.

It was the first time Youxue gambled with stones, and she was very excited, staring at the old man's movements without blinking.

Layer after layer of stone skin was cut open by the old man, and when the stone was only one-tenth of its original size, nothing was still exposed.

Could it be empty inside?

You Xue felt a little depressed, is her luck really that bad?

At this moment, a golden thing was exposed.
