Wu Shattered Star River
#53 - Chapter 53: The Gambling Stone Genius
Is six million Xuan stones a lot?
Strictly speaking, it's not a huge amount. Some Shan Hai realm cultivators, or some heads of small families, could take it out.
For example, in gambling hall number one, some top-grade raw stones might even cost tens of millions of Xuan stones.
But this is gambling hall number five!
The raw stones here are the cheapest in the Qilin Gambling House. This raw stone that produced the Brown Bloodstone was priced at five thousand Xuan stones.
If it had only produced a Brown Bloodstone, that would have only been a 120-fold increase, which wouldn't have been particularly exaggerated.
But now, it produced a top-grade Brown Bloodstone, worth six million Xuan stones, an increase of 1,200 times.
This is extremely frightening!
Jiang Lang and Jiang Han started with three thousand Xuan stones, bought two rounds of raw stones, and turned three thousand Xuan stones into six million.
That's an increase of two thousand times, and it only took them a little over two hours.
This isn't just something that makes people jealous, it can simply be called a legend in the stone gambling world!
In the stone gambling world, it's not uncommon to unearth top-grade crystals worth hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions.
But that's not a legend. The real legend depends on how many times your investment increases.
If you spend ninety million to buy a raw stone, and it turns out to be worth one hundred million, that won't amaze people.
Instead, many people will think you lost money, because a capital of ninety million is too risky.
Stone gambling is all about the gamble!
It's a gamble for excitement, a fight for huge profits.
Now, Jiang Han and Jiang Lang have truly achieved huge profits. Three thousand Xuan stones have increased two thousand times, resulting in six million.
This is the charm of stone gambling, and this is why stone gambling has been so popular in the Kyushu Continent for so many years.
It's just that...
At this moment, Jiang Han didn't feel the excitement of stone gambling, nor did he enjoy the fun of stone gambling. Instead, he felt a little uneasy, and even regretted it somewhat.
This was completely beyond his and Jiang Lang's plan. This time, they played too big, and he felt like he had lost control.
If he were a strong cultivator, or if he had a powerful backer, he might have been fearless and unscrupulous.
The problem is that he is just a small cultivator who has just broken through to the Mysterious Profound Realm. Many people in this gambling hall could crush him like an ant.
His and Jiang Lang's plan was to do it secretly, earning a few hundred thousand Xuan stones here, and a few hundred thousand there.
The two had also planned that they would only do it once in each Dark City, and they must not attract the attention of the gambling house or strong cultivators.
But now...
This matter is destined to cause a sensation, and it is estimated that it will spread throughout this Dark City. The owner of the gambling house will definitely be watching them, and others with ulterior motives may also be secretly watching them.
If their true identities are discovered, not only will they not be able to continue doing this in the future, but even the six million they have now may not be safe.
In a worse situation... Jiang Han and Jiang Lang may lose their lives.
Taking six million Xuan stones from the Qilin Gambling House with only three thousand Xuan stones, the gambling house owner will definitely be unhappy, and the consequences will be very serious.
Is it possible for such a large gambling house to operate without the support of a powerful force?
In a few breaths, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Han's mind. He glanced at Jiang Lang and saw that he was also dumbfounded, seemingly too shocked to speak.
"Wow~ Haha!"
Suddenly, Jiang Lang burst out laughing, jumping up and down excitedly.
He jumped to Jiang Han's side, slapped him on the back of the head, and said loudly, "I am a stone gambling genius, Second Brother, are you convinced? Hahaha... Six million, six million! Grandpa only earns that much refining a top-grade divine talisman... Hahahaha, let's see if Grandpa dares to call me a wastrel again? Hahaha!"
Jiang Lang seemed to be a little carried away with excitement, laughing and hugging Jiang Han, and even kissed Jiang Han on the face, looking just like a nouveau riche.
Jiang Han was a little dumbfounded. What did Jiang Lang mean by this? Grandpa? What grandpa?
But Jiang Lang wanted to act, and Jiang Han could only cooperate, trying his best to make himself look excited.
He gave a thumbs up and said, "Big Brother, you're awesome, you're a stone gambling genius. You will definitely become the strongest stone gambling grandmaster in Yun Province in the future..."
"Tch..."
A burst of snickers suddenly came from around. These two fools bought randomly and stumbled upon incredible luck, yet they dared to speak so shamelessly?
Stone gambling genius? The strongest stone gambling grandmaster in Yun Province?
"Refining a top-grade divine talisman?"
Some people muttered, looking at each other in shock.
Jiang Lang didn't finish his sentence, but judging from his tone, the divine talisman refined by his grandfather could sell for five or six million?
A divine talisman that can sell for five or six million must be at least an Earth-rank divine talisman, right? Only Earth-rank divine talisman masters can refine Earth-rank divine talismans.
The identity of an Earth-rank divine talisman master is not ordinary. The entire Yun Province probably doesn't have more than a hundred of them.
If that's true, these two fools must have a big background, they must be disciples of a large family.
Some people with ulterior motives showed a hint of fear in their eyes. Six million is not a small amount. Some people had just had the idea of secretly taking the two's Xuan stones, but now they hesitated.
Fighting is not allowed in the Dark City, but there are many ways to get the two's Xuan stones: such as stealing, seduction, deception, drugging...
"Manager, Manager!"
Jiang Lang shouted loudly, "Do you accept this top-grade Brown Bloodstone? If you do, give us a market price. Your gambling house is so big, you wouldn't cheat us, right?"
The manager of gambling hall number five had been standing nearby for a long time, and at this moment, he had the expression of someone whose parents had just died.
The gambling hall he managed had actually allowed someone to pick up such a big leak. Although most of the responsibility lies with the stone appraiser, he will definitely be implicated, and his position as manager might be taken away tonight.
"Please wait a moment, young masters, I'll report this first!"
With so many gamblers watching, the manager could only force a smile, cupped his fists, and prepared to report.
"No need to report!"
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a fancy robe, with an extraordinary demeanor, and a fleshy wart on his left cheek walked over.
He cupped his fists at Jiang Lang and Jiang Han and said, "Young masters, I am Qin Rong, the head manager of the Qilin Gambling House. Congratulations to both of you. Today, you have been blessed with great luck and have unearthed a legendary stone in the Yun Province stone gambling world."
"We will buy back this Brown Bloodstone for six million. Not only that, but we will also give you a VIP card, so that you can get a 10% discount on all raw stones purchased at all branches of our Qilin Gambling House in the future."
"Wow!"
"Manager Qin is generous and magnanimous."
"The Qilin Gambling House is indeed one of the top five gambling houses in our Yun Province. This demeanor, tsk tsk!"
"I've made friends with Manager Qin!"
The surrounding gamblers praised one after another, impressed by Manager Qin's magnanimity.
Gambling houses and gamblers are inherently opposed. When gamblers win money here, the gambling house will definitely lose money.
Jiang Han and Jiang Lang earned six million Xuan stones from the gambling house with three thousand Xuan stones. If it were an ordinary small gambling house, they wouldn't even give them a VIP card. Giving them a bad attitude would be considered light, and they might even make things difficult for the gamblers, demanding a low price to buy back the stone to make up for the loss.
Qin Rong's approach made them, as gamblers, feel very comfortable. What if they also unearthed top-grade stones next time?
Jiang Lang gave a thumbs up and cupped his fists, "Thank you, Manager Qin. If I ever play stone gambling again, I will definitely come to the Qilin Gambling House!"
"Hahaha!"
Manager Qin laughed and said, "Welcome, welcome. Our Qilin Gambling House is not afraid of you unearthing top-grade goods. As long as you have the strength and good luck, if anyone can increase their investment by ten thousand times, I will give you a gold VIP card, so you can buy raw stones at an 80% discount. If you can increase your investment by one hundred thousand times, we will give you a supreme VIP card, so you can buy raw stones at a 60% discount!"
"Wow~"
The surrounding gamblers exploded at once. Many people's enthusiasm soared, and their minds were filled with images of unearthing top-grade goods.
Some people couldn't wait to wander around, starting to look for good raw stones.
The manager here quickly sent over a dark card, along with a VIP card. Jiang Lang infused Xuan power to check it and confirmed that the amount was correct.
He put his arm around Jiang Han's neck and said, "Let's go, Second Brother, tonight we'll book all the courtesans at the Yichun Courtyard. Good luck to everyone, Manager Qin. We brothers will go have some fun first, and we'll come back to play here again later."
Manager Qin watched the two leave with a smile. After the two left, the manager of gambling hall number five immediately leaned over and said, "This subordinate is guilty, please punish me, Head Manager!"
Manager Qin glanced at the manager without saying a word. The manager thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said again, "Head Manager, should this subordinate arrange for someone to take care of them? Or... should we investigate their background first?"
