Wu Shattered Star River
#56 - Chapter 56 Fish Takes the Hook
Jiang Lang's words caused a stir among the onlookers.
Several million Xuan stones were not a small amount for many gamblers. Did Jiang Lang and Jiang Han really think they were stone gambling geniuses?
They finally managed to earn some Xuan stones, and were planning to squander them all in one day?
"Little brothers, listen to this old man's advice, don't play like this. No one's luck can always be good."
"That's right, you want to lose all the money you earned by luck with your own incompetence?"
"Little brothers, know when to quit. To be honest... you don't understand stone gambling at all. The water is deep here!"
Some gamblers around couldn't bear to see the two of them squandering like this and tried to dissuade them.
Jiang Lang and Jiang Han naturally didn't want to pay attention to them. Just as the two were preparing to go to Gambling Hall No. 2, a voice attracted their attention.
"Two idiots, they got lucky once and really think they know how to gamble on stones? They don't even understand the most basic stone-viewing skills, haha... These six million are probably going to be squandered today."
This person's voice wasn't particularly loud. Many people nearby were saying similar sarcastic remarks. The reason it attracted their attention was because the voice was very familiar.
Especially Jiang Han, his expression immediately darkened upon hearing this voice, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes!
The two of them scanned the area and locked onto an old man with white hair and a white beard, wearing a jade crown.
Han Shiqi!
Before coming, Jiang Lang gave Jiang Han a pill to make their voices hoarse, originally to prevent running into acquaintances.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lang's prediction came true. They actually ran into an acquaintance. Han Shiqi actually appeared in the Qilin Gambling House.
Han Shiqi hadn't shown his face once since returning to the Cloud Dream Pavilion. Jiang Han thought Han Shiqi was in secluded cultivation, afraid to see people.
Who would have thought that they would unexpectedly meet him in this Dark City?
In fact, Han Shiqi was indeed a little afraid to see the people of the Cloud Dream Pavilion, so he kept a low profile.
But he wasn't cultivating. One of his altars was shattered, and his realm fell from the Mountain Sea Realm to the Profound Nether Realm. He gave up the path of martial arts and indulged in pleasure every day.
He didn't dare to be high-profile in the Cloud Dream Pavilion, and he couldn't sit still, so it's easy to understand why he secretly ran to Dark City to enjoy himself.
Gambling on stones also happened to be one of Han Shiqi's interests.
Han Jinmao was the Vice Pavilion Master of the Cloud Dream Pavilion, and he himself was the Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall, so he didn't lack Xuan stones.
Where there's gambling, there's vice. It's easy to understand why he ran over to the Qilin Gambling House to watch the excitement after hearing about it.
The moment he saw Han Shiqi, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Han's mind. He exchanged glances with Jiang Lang, and they made eye contact several times. The two of them actually reached a consensus in an instant.
The two decided to trick Han Shiqi and vent their anger!
Jiang Lang received the information Jiang Han passed over. A coldness appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his gaze became unruly. He suddenly pointed at Han Shiqi and said, "Old fart, who are you calling an idiot?"
Many people nearby were making sarcastic remarks, but Jiang Lang and Jiang Han didn't say anything. Why did Jiang Lang suddenly flare up as soon as Han Shiqi opened his mouth?
Han Shiqi was a little speechless. Everyone was saying it, it wasn't just him alone. Why was Jiang Lang picking on him?
However, Jiang Lang was pointing at his nose and scolding him, how could he back down?
He snorted twice and said, "Young man, don't be so hot-tempered! This old man was just telling the truth, and it's also for your own good."
"Good your ass!"
Jiang Lang said aggressively, "What kind of thing are you? You're worthy to talk about us? Have you ever opened a stone that increased in value two thousand times?"
Jiang Han followed up, slightly suppressing his voice. He pointed at Han Shiqi and said, "Old fart, we don't understand stone gambling? Do you understand stone gambling? Don't even mention two thousand times, can you open a stone that increases in value two hundred times for me to see? Old thing, disrespectful to the elderly, doesn't understand anything, just knows how to yap."
Jiang Lang's words were very unpleasant, and Jiang Han's words were even more unpleasant.
With so many people watching, Han Shiqi's face turned pale and green, extremely unsightly.
With so many people watching, he felt like he had completely lost face, but he couldn't possibly argue with two young people, right?
He could only say in a cold voice, "This old man has been gambling on stones for decades. Although I'm not proficient, I've won more than I've lost. Opening a stone that increases in value two thousand times is indeed impressive, but it's just luck. Can you open stones that increase in value two thousand times every time?"
"Young men, it's not that this old man is speaking harshly, but you really don't understand stone gambling."
"Do you understand what is called grain, python, species, and momentum? Have you seen Heavenly Water Grain, Earth Wave Grain, Divine Travel Python, Nine Yang Python, Eastern Tomb Species, Nine Dragon Momentum? Do you know the real techniques of stone gambling?"
Han Shiqi spoke at length, Jiang Han looked confused, and Jiang Lang also seemed not to understand very well.
Jiang Han blinked and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Hahaha!"
Han Shiqi laughed loudly. Many gamblers around shook their heads and smiled wryly. Many people whispered that it seemed Jiang Han and the others really didn't understand at all.
Stone gambling has been prevalent in the Nine Provinces Continent for thousands of years. Through research and summary by generations of people, stone gambling has some technical skills.
Looking at stones should start from four aspects -- grain, python, species, and momentum.
What kind of grain has a higher probability of cutting out good goods, what kind of python contains a large amount of mineral crystals, what kind of species has a higher probability of having goods inside, and what kind of momentum can open up super-quality goods...
Jiang Han and Jiang Lang didn't even understand the most basic stone gambling skills. The fact that the two of them cut a stone that increased in value two thousand times last night was purely due to heaven-defying luck.
Luck is something that can't always be prosperous in the stone gambling world. Sooner or later, they will lose everything.
Han Shiqi looked around and saw that the people around him were showing disdain.
He was quite proud and said with his hands behind his back, "Two young men, listen to this old man's advice, you don't understand anything, know when to quit. Don't play anymore, if you keep playing, you'll lose even your pants."
"Pah!"
Jiang Han spat out a mouthful of saliva and said coldly, "Old fart, you speak so powerfully, it seems you understand very well? Why don't we make a bet?"
"That's right!"
Jiang Lang nodded, pointed at Han Shiqi's nose and said, "Old fart, do you dare to bet with us brothers? How about we compare outer courts and bet five million Xuan stones?"
"Wow!"
Jiang Lang's words caused an uproar all around. Everyone present was a gambler, and what they liked most was gambling. Now Jiang Lang wanted to bet five million with Han Shiqi in the outer court?
This was a bit interesting!
"This?"
Han Shiqi was stunned. Five million Xuan stones was not a small amount. Although he had this wealth, what if he lost the bet?
Don't look at how he spoke so eloquently and imposingly just now, in fact... he didn't have much talent in stone gambling.
In these years, he had lost more than he had won in stone gambling. The skills he mentioned just now were all things he had heard others say a lot and remembered.
"Don't dare to bet?"
Seeing that Han Shiqi didn't take the bait, Jiang Han became a little anxious. He imitated Jiang Lang and pointed at Han Shiqi's nose and said, "Old dog! Aren't you very knowledgeable? Aren't you a stone gambling master? If you don't dare to bet, then get out of here, you're just embarrassing yourself!"
Being pointed at and scolded by a young man, and most importantly, with hundreds of people watching nearby, and some people knowing that Han Shiqi was the Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall of the Cloud Dream Pavilion, how could he afford to lose this face?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Bet, then bet. When you two little brats lose, don't go back on your word!"
"Ha ~"
Jiang Han and Jiang Lang exchanged glances, and the two were delighted.
After wasting so much saliva, the fish finally took the bait!
