Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The Stone Gambling Area, Clairvoyant Eye!

"Haha, Anna, do you know what the most distinctive feature of this banquet is?" Having finished observing the exquisite exhibits, Wang Renze laughed and said.

In this circle of wealthy young men, there were also many important ladies. Seeing the smile on Wang Renze’s face as he was especially attentive to Mo Anna, expressions of both envy and jealousy appeared on their faces.

Not only was Wang Renze exceptionally capable, but he also possessed good looks, giving off an air of being a graceful gentleman, which made him highly popular within the second-generation circle of Zhonghai City.

Nevertheless, these ladies had to admit Mo Anna really stood out in this crowd, shining like a dazzling pearl, incomparable to them.

"Of course, I know that. It’s the gambling on stones here. I came here specifically to learn about this." Mo Anna replied, her arm hooked through Xiao Zheng’s, still maintaining a polite yet distant demeanor as she spoke to Wang Renze. After she finished speaking, Mo Anna looked up at Xiao Zheng with a tone of reliance:

"Xiao Zheng is also quite interested in this."

Whoosh.

Xiao Zheng almost immediately felt many murderous glances piercing him, as those young elites looked at him with evident jealousy.

Touching his nose, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but give a wry smile. Indeed, this woman was a "cause of disaster," her ability to draw hatred was just too powerful.

If looks could kill, Xiao Zheng felt he would have died many times by now.

Wang Renze’s expression also turned slightly cold. Even though he had already disregarded Xiao Zheng after learning of his identity, it didn’t mean he was not upset.

In Wang Renze’s view, Xiao Zheng, a minor character like him, should know his place. Mo Anna was a woman Xiao Zheng did not deserve, and he should willingly give her up.

Yet, he saw Xiao Zheng maintaining an indifferent expression, unworried.

"Hmph, a nobody daring to compete with me, Wang Renze, for a woman? I’ll make sure you’re utterly humiliated," a hint of coldness flashed in Wang Renze’s eyes.

He then perfectly masked his true emotions, smiling at Mo Anna and suggesting, "Since you’re interested in the gambling on stones, why don’t we go have a look?"

"Okay."

Mo Anna nodded.

That was the very reason she was here.

Immediately, Wang Renze led them to the gambling stone area in the hall, where they saw it was filled with rough stone materials.

Additionally, there were some workers holding tools to cut the stones, standing by proudly.

These artisans, who had reached a peak in their field, were specially invited by the hosts of the banquet.

Their stone-cutting skills were so proficient that no mistakes occurred.

Furthermore, several dozen men, all dressed in suits, seemingly of high status, were picking out stone materials without much concern for appearances.

After purchasing, they handed the stones to the artisans to cut. Some erupted in loud exclamations when treasures emerged, while others sighed in frustration when nothing was found.

"This is the charm of stone gambling — everything is unknown."

Wang Renze said to Mo Anna with a smile.

"These rocks, containing jadeite raw materials, cannot be detected by any scientific instruments at the current time.

Thus, obtaining a raw stone, nobody knows what quality of jadeite is inside, it’s all down to luck."

Mo Anna said, "I’ve heard that some experienced people can judge from the patterns on the stone whether it contains jadeite rough inside."

"Mhm."

Wang Renze nodded, appearing to be well-versed in the intricacies of stone gambling, with profound knowledge. "Indeed, although it’s impossible to analyze with scientific instruments, the patterns on the surface can indeed reveal what’s inside.

However, this requires years of observation and accumulation, exceptional eyesight, and even guts and courage. Ordinary people simply can’t do it, and even those experts often make mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Moana couldn’t help but nod.

Indeed, that was the case.

Gambling on stones, even for real experts, often resulted in failures.

But precisely because of this, it possessed a unique charm.

Perhaps an ordinary stone could make someone wealthy overnight, or perhaps a stone that seemed to harbor a top-tier gem could lead to bankruptcy when bought, only to yield an insignificant worthless stone in the end.

"Hahaha, gentlemen, since you are here, why not pick a few stones to try your luck?" At this moment, the person in charge of the gambling area approached with a laugh.

This person knew the identities of this group well, aware of their style of spending money lavishly. If they were to make a move, today’s gambling area would surely make a huge profit.

"Hahaha, giving it a try doesn’t sound bad."

Wang Renze laughed with a confident expression and said to Mo Anna, "Wait for me to cut out a jadeite, and I’ll give it to you, Anna. You must not refuse."

Mo Anna just smiled slightly.

How easy was it to cut jadeite out of stone?

And if a real gem was cut, worth millions, perhaps Mr. Wang wouldn’t be willing to part with it after all.

"Hehe, since Mr. Wang is going to try his luck here, let’s have a go as well."

"Hope to cut out something exceptional, like imperial green or something."

"Just fantasize about it here. Imperial green? What kind of rarity is that? One in ten thousand, impossible to cut out without a real expert."

At this time, a group of socialites and gentlemen were somewhat excited, busily rushing to this stone area to select stones, many of them appearing quite expert-like and seemingly knowledgeable.

In fact, stone gambling was very popular in such upper-class societies; otherwise, Mo Anna wouldn’t be investigating here. Generally, anyone with a bit of family wealth had some knowledge of stone gambling.

It was also necessary for socializing.

However, mastering this, without exceptional intelligence, was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

"Xiao Zheng, why don’t you pick one too? The company will reimburse you," Mo Anna said, her interest piqued, as she spoke to Xiao Zheng.

"Free? In that case, I won’t be polite." Xiao Zheng was somewhat surprised, not expecting this perk, and he too stepped into the stone area.

A faint purple-red glow flashed in his eyes.

He activated his X-ray vision.

Although scientific instruments couldn’t detect it, his X-ray vision allowed him to effortlessly see the substances hidden within the rough stones.
