MTL - Stone Gambler (Orc)-Chapter 12 betting stone
By the time Bai Zishi walked up to Bixi, Bixi had already picked out about ten stones, all of which were made of raw wool. Look at the half-made wool of dark or light green color that was exposed on the shelf over there after the window was opened. Bai Zishi asked, "Bixi, why don't you pick a piece out there?"
Bixi looked at the wool over there, and shook her head helplessly: "There are indeed a few pieces that I like on it, and there is even a piece that has reached the ice species, and there are also several pieces of high-water species that are close to the ice species, but, my current Money can't be eaten without a burden, and if the half-gambling wool is cut, you will lose a lot. Instead of this, it is more appropriate to pick some good-performing half-gambling wool. Some money to buy some good ingredients for Carlo."
Bai Zishi saw that Bixi's expression was a little gloomy, and he knew that he didn't seem to be betting much for a while, and he was even broke in general. He wanted to find some good jadeites for Carlo, but was frequently disappointed. Do you want to give up the jade in the round piece of wool to Bixi? Bai Zishi thought hesitantly, but if the gambling stone was not sold, he would have no capital to continue gambling with it.
Bixi didn't know that the Little orc man next to him was planning to give him a big gift, so he hugged the last stone he picked aside, and then greeted a corner of the room. A tall Asian orc man drove over in a small car. He helped Bixi weigh the wool by kilograms and load it into the car. After calculating the total price, he took Bixi to find Owen. Owen took the money, looked at the list of gambling stone numbers that Bixi bought in his hand and smiled: "You didn't pick cheap materials this time, so that's fine, just be on the safe side."
Bixi smiled wryly: "Recently, I have lost a lot of bets. If you don't pay attention, the beast tide moon will come."
Owen recalled Kalu's serious injury in the last Beast Tide Moon, and his expression became serious: "If it doesn't work, go buy bright materials, I have some good materials here, just let me know when you want them. "
Bixi patted Owen on the shoulder: "I wrote it, Owen. It's done. I'm going to the quarry now."
"Let's go together, I'll go too." Owen looked at the time, and called back the sub-orc man just now: "Aser, I'm going to the quarry, and I'll leave this place to you."
The calcination field of Owen's store is just behind this store. Go out from the store door, turn into the alley next to it, and walk in for about 200 meters. There are about ten sets of stone-breaking tools in this stone-cutting field. There are five rows in total. Two sets are placed side by side in each row. The business here in Owen has always been good. There are people waiting in line behind each stone-breaking machine. Every stone-breaking machine is surrounded by orcs, which is probably why there are not many stone-breaking tools in the stone-breaking field, but it occupies such a large space.
Owen took Bai Zishi to the gate of the Jieshi Yard and asked him to show his brand name. A minute later, the car with the wool material selected by Bai Zishi was pushed out. The car used a sealed device, and Owen signaled Bai Zishi stuck the wooden sign on the recessed place of the car, and the car made a crisp clicking sound, and then the cover on the top slid open automatically, and the round stone was placed in the car.
"Find a stone-dissolving machine with fewer people and go in line." Bixi also fetched her own car and said to Bai Zishi.
Bai Zishi nodded, then looked around, and found that there were long and short people in the line in front of these rock-breaking machines. There were basically twenty cars waiting in the long line, and three or four cars in the short line. , he pointed to the relatively short queue and was puzzled: "Why do those people prefer to queue behind the long queue rather than go to the queue of other machines?"
Bixi looked at the puzzled face of the Little orc man blinking his beautiful black eyes, and couldn't help but be amused: "You know that calculus is of course very important for eyesight experience, but luck is also indispensable, because People who gamble on stones believe in luck, and those stone-dissolving machines with long queues must have solved a lot of good materials today, and they use this stone-dissolving machine to hope that these fortunes will continue to them, which can be regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance.”
Bai Zishi nodded. In fact, this kind of situation happened from time to time on the earth. If the woolen goods sold in this store soared, the owner would set off a firecracker to celebrate, and stone gamblers would come here after hearing the news. It just proves that there are really good woolen materials in this store, and there is also a kind of hope for good luck in it.
Bixi actually has this kind of mentality, but today Carlo’s father, Pang Bi, came home to be a guest, so Bixi gave up the queue behind the most popular rock-dissolving machine, and chose a number of people to stand behind those people all the time. Behind. Bai Zishi already has a rough confidence in his wool, because he doesn't care where it is. After handing over his car to the staff in charge of the stone dissolving machine, he ran to the front to watch. The car was locked anyway, so he didn't worry about losing anything.
There are not a few sub-orcs who do the same thing as Bai Zishi. They gather in a circle around the stone breaker, and the orcs watch from the outer circle. There is even a special resting place for the orcs in the outer circle. There are some drinks and food, of course, these are expensive, and they are not cheap. Seeing these Bai Zishi, I really have to admire Owen's business acumen. These orcs usually stay here and don't leave easily. Who knows if there will be good jade coming out after you leave for a while. If you miss it, it will be a shame. I regret it too late. Therefore, it is this kind of psychology that Owen earned.
Relying on his small stature, Bai Zishi nimbly inserted needles in the gaps between the sub-orcs, and arrived at the front in a short while. Bai Zishi was taken aback by this sight, and his eyes became indifferent. The sub-orc man who was interpreting the stone was not Is it the one who just snatched his wool in front? !
However, it seems that his luck today is not very good. There are a lot of stones scattered around the stone breaker, all of which look like white flowers. Scratching his hair on the ground, he took a deep breath, then stood up again, went to his car to pick for a while, and pulled out a piece of wool about the size of three footballs.
It is a piece of brown eel skin with fine leather, with two parallel black python bands on it, surrounded by seven or eight clusters of tight pine flowers. This kind of stone is generally very old, and it is easy to grow emerald, especially if you look at the wool. There is no shortage of boa with pine flowers on the surface.
"The performance of this material is very good..." "It looks like Gaia's old trick..." "It seems that the boss needs to hang up the firecrackers first."
Listening to the comments of these people around, Bai Zishi knew that the people around him were very optimistic about this piece of wool. Of course, just from the surface, he had to admit that this piece of wool was really good. Even the Naya orc man's face gradually improved when he heard the discussions around him, and the anxiety between his brows just now disappeared a lot. Just now, he really lost a lot of money, and the Ya orc man might not have the courage today I have solved the stone, so I deliberately picked out the most expensive and most sure piece of wool to solve it. I can't help but improve my confidence, and more importantly, I can make up for the previous loss.
However, such a good material cannot be cut directly with a stone-cleaning machine, it must be wiped first, took a deep breath, and the sub-orc man began to rub the stone along the python belt, and after five minutes passed, the part that was wiped out was still gray-white The stone, not a little green. The orc man's face turned pale, and he stopped for a while. He sat on the side and rested for a while, and the orc man who was with him patted him on the shoulder: "Take a break, I'll come."
The Naya orc man didn't speak, shook his head desperately, stood up again, with a look of ruthlessness --- there must be green, there must be, there is no reason why such a good material can't produce green! He reversed the direction of the wool, changed another python belt and continued to wipe, and then 5 minutes passed, it was still a gray stone, not even a trace of green! The Naya orc man's eyes widened in disbelief, and wiped down a few centimeters in disbelief, but just in time to wipe out a white ball of cotton-like stuff.
"White cotton! It's actually white cotton!" Without waiting for the sub-orc man to react, the sharp-eyed sub-orc man called out, "Hey... It's really poor and rich. It’s white cotton? It’s broken!” No, white cotton is a kind of patchy, striped, silky, corrugated translucent and slightly transparent white mineral that is commonly found in jadeite. To put it bluntly, it is Impurities in jadeite seriously affect the quality of jadeite. If the white cotton is untied, the wool is basically more than half broken.
"I said, will you sell this piece of wool? I'll offer 50,000 yuan." At this time, someone asked the price. Although the white cotton was wiped out, it was only part of it. The performance of this piece of woolen material is really good. It's okay to take a gamble.
After the Naya orc man heard the price, the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably. This piece of wool was worth 700,000 yuan when he bought it, but now it is only worth 50,000 yuan. He turned back: "Not for sale!" The companion glanced at him hesitantly, and when he saw his red eyes, he just sighed and didn't speak.
This time, the sub-orc man directly put the wool on the stone-breaking machine, adjusted a position, and skillfully operated the stone-breaking machine to cut it down. After cutting, he couldn't wait to separate the two pieces of wool. After working out all the strength of the whole body, I slumped on the ground - all I can see on the cut surface of the two pieces of wool are strips and corrugated white cotton!
The sub-orc people who watched couldn't help shaking their heads. At this point, no one believes that there is green in the wool, and if it is cut against the python belt, you can see nothing but white cotton. Can there be any drama? The sub-orc man who just bid did not make any noise. Fortunately, they didn't sell it just now!
Seeing the blank face of the woolen owner, although Bai Zishi hated him very much, now he not only shook his head sympathetically, his companion came over and patted him on the shoulder, but this seemed to remind him, He quickly stood up again, picked up a piece of wool and began to cut it, as if he couldn't see the coffin without crying. His eyes were full of anticipation and hope, like a prisoner waiting for judgment, but no one could redeem him, because the pieces of stone were cut off, and they were still white.
As time passed, the wool was cut smaller and smaller, and the light in the eyes of the orc man in Naya also faded away. In the end, he gave up, stood up and kicked the remaining half fiercely with a grim face. Bai Zishi saw the piece of wool rolling towards him, and subconsciously stepped back, and the wool stopped at his feet. Sighing, Bai Zishi knelt down to pick up the wool, but the moment he touched the wool, Bai Zishi was stunned, and quickly looked down at the piece of material that was slightly smaller than the cut half - ---The familiar sense of collision of the little fur ball makes Bai Zishi very friendly, and this little fur ball seems to be more naughty than the previous ones.
Buy it, must buy it!
Coincidentally, someone was also about to sell it, so the companion of the Naya orc man looked at the gravel all over the ground, cheered up and asked around: "Does anyone want the remaining half? It only costs 3,000."
There is no one around asking the price, isn't that nonsense? Look at the half of the pine flowers over there that are slowly covered with white cotton. Although three thousand is not much for gambling stones, who is willing to throw money into the water?
Bai Zishi withdrew his hand on the wool and stood up: "I want it, but I don't have that much money. Is 1,000 okay?"
The Naya orc companion looked at the little Bai Zishi, and asked the people around him: "Is there anyone else who wants it?" No one spoke to him, so he sighed, "In this case, 1000 is 1000."
Bai Zishi laughed, then took his own magnetic card to pay, then picked up his woolen stuff and prepared to leave: "Hey, kid, wait a minute."
Hearing that it was the orc man who sold him wool, Bai Zishi turned around and said, "I have already paid for the wool."
The Naya orc smiled wryly: "I know, I still understand the rules of clearing the payment. I just want to say sorry to you. I'm sorry for what the child did."
Hearing the apology, Bai Zishi didn't feel so disgusted with this gentle sub-orc man. He agreed to sell it for 1000 points, and he probably wanted to apologize. Thinking of this, he nodded at the other party: "It's okay, he took a piece of wool from me for 1000 points. I also took a piece of 1000 wool from you, just right."
Hearing what he said, the other party was stunned. He didn't expect that the little orc man who had a problem with them bought this basically stable wool for this reason, which made the orc man feel a little dumbfounded.
Bai Zishi didn't care what the other party thought, he was just looking for an excuse for saying this, after all, this piece of wool would definitely surprise the group of people after it was unraveled, and it would not be so eye-catching to make an excuse first.
After Bai Zishi nodded at the sub-orc man for the last time, he strode away, because he had already seen Bixi dissolving the stone over there.
