What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

"Then I've eaten it once." Edward made no secret of his pride in being one step ahead of his elder brother.

"Huh? Why didn't I know when?"

"Just this week, the prince invited me!"

"The prince will treat you to such snacks?" Ai Wei complained.

"What snacks? This is culture! Hot pot culture! After one winter, it will become one of the greatest cultures in the world!" Domi expressed strong condemnation.

"Come on, brother, I'll make some ingredients for you myself, I guarantee it's delicious!"

Duomi is the founder of hot pot, and the dishes he prepares must be delicious. The others couldn't sit still, and they all expressed their plus one, which made Duomi almost exhausted.

When Argyle picked up a piece of meat from the pot, dipped it in the plate, let the spices coat the meat piece, and then stuffed it into his mouth...

The flavor of the boiled meat, the sweetness of the tomato pot, the aroma of the sauce, and the soft and elastic texture all exploded in your mouth at once!

His eyes suddenly lit up, and then he picked up several pieces of meat and stuffed them into his mouth, unable to stop at all.

This is the first time everyone has seen Argyle eating his hair and drinking blood like a barbarian.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Let's get dirty!"

Seeing this, the others also started to move.

"This is really delicious." Nancy, who was also eating it for the first time, commented.

A real critic will only use actions to prove the deliciousness of food, that is, "eat hard". After having a taste of it, Nats also joined Argyle's team. The two of them were eating meat faster than they could eat it. .

After eating and drinking well, everyone waited for a long time before continuing to go shopping.

The free trade market is the place with the largest variety of goods and the deepest water in the commercial district.

Because you may find rare treasures in the big waves, or you may be cheated out of all your belongings by an old man who sells antiques.

But Duomi and the others don't want to buy it, they only want to visit it.

However, when they visited the 'Gem Market', they met a classmate.

Wilcost was also there. When he saw Duomi and his party coming, he immediately walked up with a smile and said hello:

"Dear classmates, ah, I am lucky enough to meet Princess Xia. What a coincidence."

"Student Wilcoster, what are you doing here?" Nancy may be the only one who remembers the names of other classmates.

He pointed to the crowded place behind him: "As you can see, this is a gem market specializing in blue-eyed gems. The blue-eyed rough stones mined from the mine will be sold here. If you are lucky, you may be able to make several times the profit in one go. Woolen cloth."

The so-called blue eye stone is a gemstone that is as green as a green mountain.

"Is the blue eye stone so valuable?" Ai Wei asked confused.

Edward had done some research in this area and explained: "Of course ordinary blue-eye stones are not valuable, even ordinary families can afford them. The blue-eye stones here are probably the kind of magical blue-eye stones that can nourish wind magicians."

Wilkoster nodded repeatedly: "Edward is very knowledgeable. How about you? Do you want to go in and take a gamble?"

"No, I'm not interested in gambling."

"Really? There is a competition being held here. The person with the best appearance will win the Blue Eye Stone King presented by the organizer. It's such a pity." Wilcost showed a pityful expression: "If there is a blue eye stone, Wang wears it all year round, and wind magicians like Ai Wei will definitely benefit greatly."

"I don't need it, let's go." Ai Wei refused very readily and was not interested in the so-called blue-eyed stone king.

But Edward thought about it, and after some consideration, he decided to go!

Argyle quickly grabbed him and whispered: "This place is run by Cumberbatch. Wilcoste obviously wants to trick you. The trick is not for this little money, but for face! Our family's property here may It will also be affected.”

"But if I win their Blue Eyes Stone King, wouldn't they be the ones who get cheated and lose face? Don't worry, brother, I'm confident."

Edward insisted on this, and everyone had no choice but to follow him in.

The original stone is covered with a layer of rough stone, and it is almost impossible to tell what is hidden inside with the naked eye.

There is a large space in the middle of the gemstone market where all the unopened blue-eyed rough stones are placed. The spectators are on the first floor, while the gamblers can go to the second floor and point out which stone to open as if they are pointing out the country.

Then the professionals will go over and cut the rough stone in front of everyone, and you will know the quality at a glance.

Taking advantage of the gap when Wilcost was walking in front, Domi came to Edward and whispered to him:

"I can tell which rough stone has the material, and I'll help you."

Domi has an analysis panel. Just scan the rough stone and you will know whether there is a good blue eye stone in it.

But Edward shook his head:

"Thank you for your kindness, Duomi, but I have to win this Blue-Eyed Stone King myself. That makes sense."

179. Chapter 176 175 Celestial Eye Stone

"After paying 1000 gold dragons, each customer will have three opportunities to bet on stones, and then the best one will be taken as the 'score', which ends at five o'clock in the afternoon," Wilcost explained in person after everyone was seated. The so-called rules of the game came into being.

"If no one can draw a better blue eye stone than classmate Edward before five o'clock, then even if classmate Edward wins, the blue eye stone king will be yours."

"Can we take a look at the Blue Eyed Stone King first?"

Edward doesn't seem as impetuous as Domi imagined. Could it be that he is really a genius at identifying treasures?

"Of course!"

As the young master here, Wilcost clapped his hands, and a servant carried the heavy treasure box and delivered this once-in-a-century treasure.

The treasure chest slowly opened, and before he even saw anything, Duomi felt the strong breath of wind. It was obviously a leaping wind, but it was as steady and gentle as a mountain range, and as deep as the sea.

"A rare treasure." Domi commented in advance.

After Duomi said this, everyone else became interested.

Wilcost was pleased with their response:

"Spiritual things recognize their owners. When the holder drops blood on it, the aura will not leak out and instead nourish its owner. Therefore, this blue-eyed stone king still has no name. Just wait. Someone is destined to pick one for it."

"Well, that's enough." Edward nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Take it down."

"Yes, my lord."

"No, just leave it here. It will be mine soon anyway." Edward stopped the servant.

The servant looked at Wilcost for help. He nodded in acquiescence, then narrowed his eyes and said with interest:

"It seems Edward is very confident."

"Isn't this nonsense? Why would I come here if I don't have confidence?"

Wilcost's eyes twitched inaudibly: "Then I will wait for the good news from classmate Edward."

"No, no, no, don't wait quietly," Edward said again: "It's no fun to play with these people, Wilcost, how about we have a bet? The rules will still be the same as the competition, and the bet will still be the Blue Eyes King. If you still It doesn’t matter if you want to add something.”

"Edward is joking. In a competition open to the general public, how can you change the rules temporarily just because you care about me?"

"Does the Cumberbatch family still care about what these common people think? Or... Mr. Wilcoster, you can't afford to bet?"

Ai Wei was shocked. She had never seen such a strong and aggressive Edward, but it was really a relief.

Wilcost hesitated. If the two parties involved in the bet were reduced to him and Edward, it would make it clear which party would lose face. Whoever loses would be a frontal blow to the reputation of the other party.

Moreover, he also took out something as valuable as the Blue-Eyed Stone King as a bet, so his influence will definitely not be small.

But then I thought about it, it's not impossible. After all, this is his home court. No matter how powerful Edward is, can he be as powerful as the entire team of treasure appraisers from the Cumberbatch family here?

There is no way I can lose. This is a sure-win bet. The advantage is mine!

After much thought, Wilcost finally agreed despite Edward's continuous provocations.

"I accepted this bet, but I paid the Blue Eyes Stone King, and I also need you, classmate Edward, to add some chips."

"This is normal, just say what you want."

"How about half of Blofeld's estate in Callia? The Blue Eye Stone King is worth the price."

Argyle was shocked after hearing this. If half of the industry was given to Cumberbatch, it would be difficult to hold on to the other half. It would be equivalent to giving up the entire Kallia market share to Cumberbatch. This was already What a gamble!

"Hey Edward, this kind of bet is no longer a trivial matter! Please wake up."

"Don't panic, brother, I know what's going on."

Seeing that Edward was like this, he probably wouldn't be able to pull back ten cows. Argyle could only wish the gods to bless Edward.

"Come on, Wilcost."

"readily!"

"But we have to choose stones alternately, and I want to go first."

"no problem."

Soon, word spread that Edward and Wilcost had made a bet, and more and more people rushed over like sharks smelling the smell of blood.

People who had participated in the competition before were too angry to speak out, but after receiving a full refund, they enthusiastically went over to join in the fun.

Under the attention of countless spectators, Edward and his friends were facing each other across the bank from Wilcost and a whole treasure appraisal team on the second floor. Between them were piles of rough rough stones waiting to be cut.

A middle-aged man wearing a black dress stood on the stage in the middle of the first floor. He was the person in charge here and now acted as a temporary referee.

"Now, the bet between Master Wilcost and Master Edward has officially begun. According to the agreement, Master Edward will make the first choice."

Under the nervous expressions of his friends and the gazes of many spectators, Edward chose a piece at random as if without thinking.

The discerning people in the audience shook their heads secretly. Their years of experience in betting on stones told them that this rough stone was absolutely useless and would not produce anything good.

Sure enough, after being cut open by a professional, it was found that there was only a little bit of blue eye stone fragments inside, not even the large shaped blue eye stone, let alone the fineness.

The team of treasure appraisers on the opposite side made disdainful laughs when they saw this, and then after some screening, they directly selected a good blue eye stone for Wilcost, which was already good in terms of quality.

But this game is about choosing the best one among the three. If Edward is lucky, this blue eye stone may not be enough.

Therefore, Wilcost did not take it lightly. It would be better to say that he would not let down his guard until the last moment.

Even when the treasure appraisal team was complacent, they poured cold water on the spot:

"Concentrate on me, the next one must be better than the previous one."

On the other side, even Nancy and Nats were worried about Edward.

They didn't know how much Blofeld's half of the Calia estate was, but Domi and Argyle knew that the property on paper was enough to buy half of Nancy's home.
