Chapter 436 - 436 436 Going to Gamble on Stones

436: Chapter 436 Going to Gamble on Stones 436: Chapter 436 Going to Gamble on Stones After resting for a night in the villa prepared by the Lai family, Su Xuan felt a sense of utter boredom the next day.

Even though he knew that there would be many things to do upon arriving in Beijing, at this moment, his mind was like a muddled mess, completely unsure of what to do!

Su Xuan looked at Azure Dragon.

“Big Green Worm, do you know what I need to do in Beijing?”

Azure Dragon looked confused by Su Xuan’s question and then helplessly shook his head.

“Boss, I have no idea what you need to do either!”

Su Xuan scratched his head and stared at the ceiling, zoning out for a bit.

“Forget it, since I can’t find anything to do, I’ll just wait for things to come to me.

Azure Dragon, are there any fun places in Beijing?

Let’s go have some fun first!”

Azure Dragon nodded.

Since Su Xuan had said so, Azure Dragon naturally had to accompany him; it wouldn’t do for a eunuch to be more anxious than the emperor, and it would be rather tactless too.

“Boss, there are quite a few fun places!”

“Alright then, lead the way!” Su Xuan said casually.

After taking a look around the villa to make sure his clothes were in order, Su Xuan followed Azure Dragon to Antique Street.

Antique Street was off-limits to vehicles and attracted a mixed crowd, various kinds of people, for a few miles along the streets.

There were also hundreds of stores dealing in antiques there.

Of course, the most prominent business on Antique Street was stone gambling.

Almost every major shop sold raw stones, and those stone gamblers would wander from one store to the next on Antique Street, looking for the right stones to bet on.

Naturally, these seasoned stone gamblers would also draw newcomers to gamble on stones.

If they made a profit, these Old Drivers naturally got a hefty cut of the money.

After arriving at a large Gambling Stone Mall, Su Xuan went straight in, intending to gamble on stones today.

Azure Dragon followed behind Su Xuan, both of them dressed plainly, so they didn’t attract any particular attention or trouble.

No sooner had the two stepped into the Gambling Stone Mall than some of the Old Drivers approached them, seeing their unfamiliar faces.

“You two look like first-timers at stone gambling.

Do you need me to show you around?”

A middle-aged man in front of Su Xuan said with a chuckle.

Su Xuan nodded and then said,

“That would be good.

It’s our first time here and we don’t know the rules or anything about gambling on stones.

If you can help us understand, then please, lead the way!”

The middle-aged man hadn’t expected Su Xuan to agree so readily.

The man’s eye for detail was exceptional; he had recognized Su Xuan as a wealthy person.

Of course, he deduced this from Azure Dragon, who was following Su Xuan.

And the man also discerned that Su Xuan was a first-timer at stone gambling.

After entering the Gambling Stone Mall, the middle-aged man continued,

“My name is Lin Dongliang—I’ve grown up, but never became a national pillar.

May I know which price range of stones you wish to bet on, Mr.

Su?

The higher the price, the better the jade you can potentially reveal.

But, of course, there are also those who spend four hundred thousand and end up with nothing.

In stone gambling, it’s all about luck!”

Su Xuan walked forward while listening to Lin Dongliang.

After hearing Lin’s last few sentences, Su Xuan stopped, looked at Lin earnestly, and said, “Gambling on stones is not just about luck, it’s about skill too!”

Su Xuan’s words left Lin Dongliang a bit stunned.

After saying his piece, Su Xuan continued walking.

Although Lin Dongliang didn’t understand why Su Xuan would say such a thing, he still followed behind, now regarding Su Xuan not just as a simple newcomer to stone gambling but with a hint of curiosity.

“Mr.

Su, what is your esteemed surname?”

“Su!”

“Mr.

Su, let me tell you about the rules of this Gambling Stone Mall!” Lin Dongliang carried on talking while Su Xuan scanned the entire mall with his gaze, circulating the half-hearted Spiritual Energy within his body.

Feeling the surrounding Spiritual Energy and with the impetus of the energy within, Su Xuan’s pathways were able to detect the presence of Spiritual Energy in the mall.

The closer he got to the area with the raw stones, the more sensitive his feeling of Spiritual Energy became.

Su Xuan was delighted.

“Just as I had guessed, being able to sense the presence of Spiritual Energy means that there’s jade in the raw stone!” Su Xuan muttered to himself, feeling cheerful.

Using resonant sensing to detect Spiritual Energy and applying it to stone gambling meant that for the stone merchants, Su Xuan’s presence would be an unprecedented disaster!

Lin Dongliang, unable to glean anything from Su Xuan, remained as quiet as Azure Dragon, who was following behind, and said no more.

After surveying the gambling stone area, with the help of his connection to Spiritual Energy, Su Xuan developed his own thoughts about the jade and the Spiritual Energy.

Now was the time to show off his skills.

Su Xuan arrived at a gambling stone area, where some stones were large and some small, but the prices were all below ten thousand yuan.

Seeing Su Xuan come to the area below ten thousand yuan, Lin Dongliang began to speak with a smile.

“Boss Su, the raw stones in this area under ten thousand yuan, although there is a certain chance of finding jade, if you find it still a bit difficult, it’s alright for Boss Fang to try his luck in the ten thousand yuan area on his first visit!”

Having heard Lin Dongliang’s words, Su Xuan just smiled.

With the help of the Summoning Spirit Curse, he naturally knew where the good jade was abundant and where there was none.

Although the probability of finding raw stones in those areas above a million yuan was higher, what Su Xuan needed was not the quantity of jade, but the quality.

Arriving at the counter, a pretty girl greeted Su Xuan with a smile.

Especially when she saw the Azure Dragon and Lin Dongliang following Su Xuan, the pretty attendant automatically assumed Su Xuan was a person of no ordinary status; after all, who goes wandering around with two bodyguards for no reason.

Su Xuan smiled back at the pretty attendant.

“Beauty, are the prices of the stones here non-negotiable?”

“I’m sorry, sir, all the stones here are clearly priced and cannot be negotiated!” said the pretty attendant sweetly.

“If we can’t negotiate on the stones, surely we can negotiate on you, right?” Su Xuan teased, causing the pretty attendant’s cheeks to blush instantly.

Faced with Su Xuan’s rogue-like grin, she didn’t know how to retort.

Behind him, the Azure Dragon apparently knew that Su Xuan, the Old Driver, loved to flirt with beauties, whether he knew them or not; Su Xuan always liked to tease.

Lin Dongliang was somewhat baffled, utterly unsure of what Su Xuan was actually doing.

“If you don’t negotiate, then never mind.

Could you help me out with stone number 158?” Su Xuan said with a smile on his face.

The pretty attendant turned her head and looked at stone number 158 on the shelf behind her!

Seeing Su Xuan start to select stones, Lin Dongliang saw an opportunity and again moved in front of Su Xuan, smiling.

“Mr.

Su, when choosing stones, one usually picks by the stone’s luster and its pattern…” Lin Dongliang was ready to give Su Xuan a long lecture when Su Xuan raised his hand, stopping Lin Dongliang from continuing.

“No need, I’m just picking at random.

I said I wasn’t here to test my luck, so how could I pick based on what you know!”

Su Xuan said with a laugh, and Lin Dongliang could only let it go, following behind him.

Lin Dongliang sneered inside, thinking that if Su Xuan kept randomly picking stones based on mere pondering, he would end up losing till he didn’t have a penny to his name.

The next moment, Su Xuan started speaking, his eyes on Lin Dongliang nearby!

“Why don’t you use your experience to pick a few for me, and then we go cut the stones together to see whose luck is better?”

Confronted with Su Xuan’s suggestion, Lin Dongliang said.

“Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

“No problem, go ahead and choose.

I’ll pay for the stones, and I don’t need every stone you pick to be a winner.

I just want to see whose luck is better between us, that’s all!”

“If that’s the case, then I shall respectfully comply!”

Lin Dongliang smiled.

For a gambling stone Old Driver, the most important thing was picking stones for others.

If they picked a winner, they could get some compensation from those who paid to buy stones.

That’s how they made a living.

Lin Dongliang began to carefully select stones from the shelves.

Meanwhile, Su Xuan activated the Summoning Spirit Curse to sense the presence of Spiritual Energy.

The stone number 158 he had picked earlier did indeed contain Spiritual Energy, but according to Lin Dongliang’s advice to choose based on the color and texture of the stone, no one would be willing to pick stone number 158.

Stone number 158 was dull and lusterless, more like an ordinary rock, and as for the pattern, there was nothing special to see.

The only possible reason to choose stone number 158 would be its size, roughly that of a fist.

“Beauty, get me stone number 312!”

“Beauty, get me stone number 4119!”

“Beauty, get me stone number 008!”

Beauty…

With a smile on his face, Su Xuan started frantically selecting stones, and in a short while, he had already chosen about ten stones.

Meanwhile, Lin Dongliang next to him hadn’t seemed to settle on any stone yet.

The stones Su Xuan chose all had fluctuations of Spiritual Energy; simply put, each stone contained jade.

And these ten stones, if chosen based on the outward appearance and pattern, probably wouldn’t be picked by many people.

At this moment, the pretty attendant was excited, never expecting Su Xuan to suddenly choose so many stones.

She knew that in her area, where the stones were priced in the thousands, not many people were willing to gamble on stones.
