Four o'clock in the afternoon.
The stone gambling house under this bungalow was already bustling with people.
Although there were many people,
the allocated areas were based on identity and status.
Take Ye Chen in his previous life, even though he also appeared among the onlookers at this stone gambling event,
he had to stand on tiptoe at the periphery to see, otherwise he would only see heads.
But this time, thanks to Zhang Jingshan, he directly entered the innermost layer.
"Zhang, did you bring enough money? Want to add some stakes when the stones are opened later?"
Enemies meet on a narrow road.
Li Mu stood less than three meters away from where Zhang Jingshan and his two companions were standing.
As one piece of raw material after another was pulled out,
just as the stone gambling feast was about to begin, he provocatively mocked Zhang Jingshan.
"Alright, who's afraid of who? I happen to be short on cash lately, and I was just wondering where to find some leeks to cut!" Zhang Jingshan snorted.
"Look, aren't the leeks right beside you? He can lose a million at Maple Leaf, can't you, Zhang Jingshan, cut two or three million?" Li Mu laughed.
"Don't be a smartass with me, just remember that you've always been my defeated opponent!"
Knowing he couldn't win a verbal spat, Zhang Jingshan didn't want to argue with the other party anymore.
Li Mu shook his head and smiled darkly.
A playful glint shone in his eyes.
When it came to stone gambling, he believed that ten Zhang Jingshan tied together would not be his match.
And this time, understanding Zhang Jingshan's competitive nature, he had already planned to severely pit the other party!
As this stone gambling game, where one cut leads to heaven and another to hell, kicked off,
waves of uproar and sighs immediately rose and fell.
Someone bought a kilogram of material for a few thousand yuan, and with one cut, it was immediately bought for over a hundred thousand.
Someone had over a hundred thousand, and after a few cuts, they were on the verge of tears, having thrown their money away.
The excitement of ecstasy.
The despair of collapsing to the ground.
These ups and downs were interpreting what it truly meant to be poor with one cut, rich with one cut, and in rags with one cut.
However,
neither Ye Chen and Zhang Jingshan's side nor Li Mu's side
showed any intention of making a move.
Gradually,
Zhang Jingshan couldn't help himself anymore.
His main purpose for coming this time was to test if Ye Chen's intuition was really that miraculous, not to watch the show!
It had been over a dozen rounds, and Ye Chen still hadn't made any move?
Also, among the stones that were cut open just now, there were quite a few that had increased in value several or even dozens of times.
Why, why hadn't Ye Chen's intuition been put to use?
"Mr. Ye, which raw stone do you think is worth betting on?"
After carefully examining the raw stones for a round, Zhang Jingshan couldn't help but ask.
"No rush!"
Ye Chen said lightly.
"Number sixteen Mo Wanjie Black Wusha, this raw stone is 130,000, is anyone interested?"
The middle-aged man hosting the event asked with a slightly awkward expression.
It was said that this type of raw stone fails nine out of ten times, so unless it was a special venue, very few people would take the risk.
So this stone had been sitting for a long time, dropping from the initial 200,000 to 130,000.
Although many people had stepped forward to examine this Black Wusha, the middle-aged man didn't think anyone would make a move.
"Old Huang!"
Upon seeing this number sixteen Black Wusha brought out,
Ye Chen suddenly shouted towards Old Huang's direction.
The latter's thin body immediately wriggled out of the crowd like a loach.
"What's wrong?"
Old Huang, who had been holding onto the over hundred thousand yuan from selling his homestead and hadn't made a move for the final gamble, asked.
"Do you trust me? If you trust me, take this Black Wusha and gamble on it!" Ye Chen was straightforward.
What the heck?
As soon as he said this,
not only Old Huang,
everyone around was stunned.
Even Zhang Jingshan, Li Changfeng, and Li Mu were no exception.
Just now, seeing Ye Chen's feigned experience and carefulness, but completely unprofessional way of observing and examining, Li Mu's contemptuous and disdainful heart had already scoffed.
Now, hearing Ye Chen tell someone else to take this Black Wusha, he was completely bewildered.
Not only was he acting as a leek himself, but he was also dragging others along?
Is this the true nature of a bottom-tier loser?
"No, when did you, kid, start researching stone gambling? If I'm not mistaken, you haven't been exposed to these things before, right? Do you know that Black Wusha is said to fail nine out of ten times? How could this thing..."
Before Old Huang could finish speaking,
Ye Chen shook his head and interrupted, "Right now, this is the only stone that can be bought for over a hundred thousand. The rest are stones that cost hundreds of thousands or millions. Can you afford them? Also, do you believe in my recent luck? If you believe, then make a move, really, I'm not trying to trick you!"
Ye Chen's words made Old Huang freeze.
Indeed, this was the only stone he could gamble his over hundred thousand yuan on.
"But Black Wusha fails nine out of ten times!"
Looking at the confidence in Ye Chen's eyes, Old Huang struggled and wavered.
"Nine out of ten failures, isn't there still a ten percent chance it will rise? Trust me!" Ye Chen smiled confidently.
Old Huang didn't speak.
He just looked at Ye Chen like that.
Feeling the composure on Ye Chen's face and the confidence in his eyes.
Old Huang felt as if he didn't recognize the other person at all.
It was as if he was a completely different person from the previous gambler Ye Chen!
"Damn it, I'll believe your nonsense, I'm going all out!"
After taking a deep breath,
Old Huang shouted loudly.
Turning his head, he said, "I'll take this Black Wusha!"
"Ah, okay, okay, Boss, do you want to cut it now or leave it for later? Do you want our master to help you cut it, or will you do it yourself?"
The hosting middle-aged man said excitedly with great joy.
"Cut it now, just let your master do it!" Old Huang stammered nervously.
He didn't know why he believed Ye Chen.
This, this was just too crazy!
Buying Black Wusha for 130,000 without any window opened was no different from throwing money away!
"Zhang, is this how your sworn brother tricks people? This broken Black Wusha, starting from 200,000, has dropped in price all the way and no one wanted it, it's almost growing mold, and your sworn brother is still shouting and fooling people into taking it? What's his intention? You, Zhang Jingshan, playing with such an idiot not only loses face for your Grandpa but also for the entire Jingzhou circle!"
At this moment, Li Mu, who spoke very maliciously, sneered.
Upon hearing this, Old Huang was stunned!
No one had wanted it since it was 200,000?
It was because no one wanted it that the price dropped to 130,000?
My god!!!
Could it be that those stone gambling masters were not as good as Ye Chen?
They couldn't see the mystery of this Black Wusha, only Ye Chen could?
Isn't this just nonsense!
Old Huang panicked and couldn't help but want to back out.
That over hundred thousand yuan, although it was a drop in the bucket and couldn't save him or his Mom,
no matter what, it was his last hope!
"Are you saying human words? How do you know it's a trick before the stone is cut? What if it rises sharply after being cut!" Zhang Jingshan retorted without thinking.
"You really support your sworn brother like that! Since you're so confident and want to stand up for him like this, let's make a bet. If this can rise after being cut, I'll lose a million to you. If it fails, you just lose 500,000 to me, no more, how about it?"
Li Mu mocked with a playful shake of his head.
