Chapter 61 I'm Just Rich, Not Stupid

…

His Royal Highness Prince Huan seems to have a line of words engraved on his face - "You are stupid and you have a lot of money, so come quickly!"

Wang Lizi looked at him and then at the Lord Jun Hao beside her, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

Obviously everyone is the core inheritor of a top force, so why is there such a huge gap in appearance and wealth?

While Wang Lizi and the three were talking, the others who were alerted also recognized Prince Huan.

Just when everyone was doubting.

Prince Huan casually glanced at the Stone Gambling Shop and saw the four words [Haotian Mining] engraved on the sign. A look of interest seemed to flash across his brows.

He raised his hand to signal the people behind him to follow, and then flew to the entrance of the store surrounded by beauties of all kinds.

Every stone gambling shop will be decorated with other signs. For example, "Mining" is the most commonly used suffix, which can be understood by familiar gamblers at a glance.

At this time, the shopkeeper of Haotian Mining felt excited.

He never expected that Prince Huan, who had a great background, would come to the Stone Betting Shop.

He hurriedly greeted him, nodded and bowed and smiled flatteringly: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is welcome to the shop. Please come inside, please come inside~"

Compared with the vicious and cruel look in front of the young master of the Holy Clan a few days ago, the shopkeeper now looked like a harmless little sheep, making him look lighter than both of them.

Prince Huan glanced at him indifferently, nodded slightly, said hello, and then entered the store with a group of beauties.

However, after entering the store, he glanced around, but suddenly stopped, his brows wrinkled slightly, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Without him having to say anything, a dedicated attendant immediately came forward, took out a set of tables and chairs from the storage ring and placed them in the lobby, followed by various kinds of strange melons, holy fruits and divine tea.

These tables and chairs are of extraordinary quality. They are all made of sacred wood core materials. They have gorgeous textures and mysterious smells, and they seem to exude a faint fragrance.

The melons and fruits placed on the table are also of extremely high grade and rare varieties. Even through the skin, it seems that you can smell the rich spiritual energy contained in the pulp.

Not to mention the magical tea, the fairy mist curls up and one sip can condense the soul.

All the beauties also gathered around and waited on Prince Huan, sitting down like a golden sword, squeezing his shoulders and beating his legs.

The fairy-like woman was still squatting aside, taking a holy grape with her delicate hands, peeling off the skin of the grape and feeding it to him.

Whether intentionally or not, all this happened in the main hall of the store.

The main door of the main hall was open, and the people watching outside could see it clearly. At that moment, some people couldn't help but whisper and commented.

He truly deserves to be the famous Prince Huan. His courage and pomp are simply unparalleled in the world~

Goddess Jun Hao, Goddess Qingli, and Wang Lizi considered themselves to be well-informed, but they couldn't help but secretly smack their tongues when they saw this scene.

They simply weren't in a hurry to take the next step, and just squatted behind the crowd and started whispering.

"Brother Jun Hao, what is going on?" Goddess Qingli asked through a message, "Is Prince Huan the reinforcement you invited?"

"How is that possible? I am not familiar with a brat like Tai Zihuan who loves to show off." Jun Hao Shenzi shook his head, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

But when he looked at Prince Huan, his eyes revealed a deep envy unconsciously.

Although he is one of the direct disciples of the Haotian Sword Emperor and a contemporary quasi-god son, His Majesty the Sword Emperor has high hopes for him, and his future potential is limitless.

In terms of superficial identity, he and Prince Huan are identical.

But the structure of the Demon Temple is different from that of the Haotian Temple. His Majesty the Demon God is a unique existence in the Demon Temple. He also has absolute control and dominance over the demon kings under his command, and can decide life and death at every turn.

Because of this, Prince Huan's status in the Demon Temple is also different.

He is a serious prince. Even if he does whatever he wants and behaves recklessly, no big demon king will jump out and accuse him of not doing his job properly.

What's more, the Demon Temple is relatively rich compared to other forces with top bosses.

There are two main sources of huge profits for the Demon Temple.

On the one hand, they take advantage of the natural advantages of their demon origin to vigorously develop the demon beast breeding industry. Using the demon temple's unique technical means, they can produce even the most high-end seventeenth-level "Meat Dragon King" and "Meat Phoenix King" in small quantities.

Therefore, the Demon Temple is definitely the dominant player in the immortal meat and poultry market.

The second aspect is to make money through mercenaries.

Although the Demon Temple is a member of the fairy world, due to its racial characteristics and its geographical location, it does not confront the demons head-on.

They simply relied on their strong combat power to join the confrontation between the major forces and the demons as mercenaries, and made a lot of money from the war. In the current increasingly tense war situation, the Demon Temple is naturally making a lot of money.

Therefore, Prince Huan, who is rich and has status, naturally "looks down" on the other forces who are "cautious". He is afraid that the quasi-gods will make mistakes and think that he, Prince Huan, is the real second generation!

This is also the reason why he dared to speak so wildly and say, "I don't care about my family background when making friends, because everyone's family background is not as high as mine anyway."

Although the other quasi-gods were very dissatisfied with his behavior and looked down upon him every time they mentioned him, they had to admit that when it came to being "unscrupulous", no one could compare to Prince Huan.

"According to my inference, Prince Huan came to Haotian City this time to prepare for the Shenying Ranking. He came here to bet on stones on a whim." Lord Jun Hao said sternly, "Let's suspend the plan first. Let’s wait until this nonsense second generation ancestor leaves.”

Goddess Qingli and Wang Lizi both nodded secretly and agreed to this statement.

at the same time.

An ancestor of the Hunyuan Realm who had been guarding the gambling stone shop was also alarmed. He hurriedly ended his retreat and came out to entertain Prince Huan himself.

It was a Hunyuan realm monk with a tall figure and a middle-aged appearance.

Probably because he has been pampered for a long time, his figure looks a little rich, and he does not have the deep charm and calm aura of Taoist Master Chang Geng of the Three Formations, but after all, he is a Taoist Master of the Hunyuan Realm. , every move still carries a powerful aura, which is not comparable to that of ordinary monks.

As soon as he appeared, he smiled heartily at Prince Huan and said, "His Royal Highness Huan is here. I am in Jinhua, Duanmu. I apologize for any delay in welcoming you from afar."

Thirty-three days in the Immortal World - [Taihaotian] The Duanmu clan of the Taoist clan can be regarded as a powerful and well-known family.

What's more, more than 80,000 years ago, a legitimate lady came out of this family, and she got married by chance to the successor of the Haotian Temple at that time - [The Son of the White Army God].

Under the operation of Bai Jun Shenzi, the legitimate lady Duanmu also got the opportunity to inherit the Hunyuan Taoist book, and eventually became a Hunyuan realm Taoist master.

The Duanmu clan has also prospered with this golden thigh. In just 80,000 years, it has grown from an ordinary Taoist clan with only one Hunyuan realm to a powerful Tao clan with three Hunyuan realms.

If you add in the married lady Duanmu, this Duanmu family can barely be regarded as a four-dimensional sect, very powerful and prestigious.

Moreover, this Duanmu family is also extremely smart and has a long-term vision.

In the past 80,000 years, they have not only sucked the blood of the White Army God Son. On the contrary, while using the identity of the White Army God Son to make a lot of money, they have also actively supported the White Army God Son in terms of resources and power.

This allowed the Baijun Divine Son to rise all the way. Finally, when he was less than 80,000 years old, he raised his cultivation to the peak of the Hunyuan Realm and successfully became one of the three deputy hall masters of the Haotian Temple!

The whole process, if you ignore those unscrupulous ways to make money, can be called a perfect win-win cooperation.

Duanmu Jinhua, the third ancestor of the Duanmu family, is the boss behind the stone gambling shop.

On weekdays, he doesn't need to take care of the specific affairs of the gambling stone shop. He only cares about having fun and cultivating. Only when major problems occur, he needs to step in to solve them.

Looking at the entire Tai Haotian, Duanmu Jinhua can be regarded as a powerful person. When the elders of the Haotian Temple met him, they also called him brothers and gave each other face.

From this, there is basically nothing he cannot solve.

But Prince Huan is no ordinary person. Let alone an ordinary Taoist master like Duanmu Jinhua, in the Demon Temple, even the deputy temple master had to respectfully call him "Young Master" when meeting him.

Faced with Duanmu Jinhua's politeness, he just raised his eyelids slightly, but his tone was still arrogant: "Stop talking nonsense, I came to Haotian Temple just to refresh the Shenying Ranking. Who do you call Jun Hao?" The poor sword cultivator squeezed into third place."

"However, I heard from my maid Ruo'er that this Haotian Mining is one of the largest stone gambling shops in Tai Haotian, and it is considered to be quite large in the entire fairy world. Come and play a few games if you are itchy, don't you? Do you have any opinions?"

When he talked about Tuo'er, he glanced at the fairy woman next to him who was serving him some fruit. There was something doting and playful in her eyes.

And Ruo'er obediently peeled off a piece of fruit and stuffed it into Prince Huan's mouth, and said in a sweet tone, "Juo'er wishes His Highness victory and a lot of Chaos Crystals."

When Duanmu Jinhua heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don't come here to cause trouble.

The Duanmu clan has Taoist Master Bai Jun as the backing, and the scope of activities is limited to the power of the Haotian Temple, so they will not be too afraid of the Prince Jian of the Demon Temple, but the status of the Prince Jian is extraordinary after all. If he provokes such a person for nothing, Enemy, he is naturally unwilling to do so.

Immediately, Duanmu Jinhua smiled boldly again and said: "We at Haotian Mining are opening our doors to welcome guests. How can we have any objections to the guests? Since His Highness Jian is interested in playing a few games, it is our honor. Come here and bring a batch of raw ore. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper who was responsible for the specific affairs understood and immediately led the clerk to the underground warehouse to pick out a batch of raw spiritual stones.

After asking Prince Huan for his opinion, these raw spiritual stones were placed directly in the lobby, laid out one by one, and the sale price was marked behind each piece of raw spiritual stones.

Many times, some distinguished guests do not like to play stone gambling in public, but choose to go to the secret room. After all, the uncertainty of stone gambling is too high. It would be embarrassing to lose, and it would be easy to be targeted if you win. Therefore, there are many customers who like to make a fortune in silence.

But Tai Zihuan didn't seem to be taboo about this, and the shopkeeper was happy for him to play in the lobby. After all, this batch of rough stones is of high quality, and the probability of shipment is relatively high.

If you play in the lobby, you can just let the crowds of onlookers outside the door take a look. The quality of the rough stones of our Haotian Mining is excellent.

Lest there be a bunch of gossips who secretly slander Haotian Mining all day long, pretending to be inferior and committing fraud.

At the same time, Prince Huan had fun gambling on stones and could also form a good relationship.

After doing all this, Duanmu Jinhua said with a smile: "Excuse me, Your Highness, please try your luck by picking a piece first."

These rough stones used as gambling stones are actually produced in the chaos mines of the major forces. Most of the Akashi with excellent quality have been cut directly and entered the warehouses of the major forces.

The remaining rough stones of questionable quality will be purchased by some stone gambling shops through "bidding" and used as stone gambling to make huge profits.

Generally speaking the process is like this.

The mine owner or the person in charge of the mining area will save those rough stones that are difficult to distinguish. After accumulating to a certain amount, the mine owner's ore appraisal master will evaluate each raw stone. The principle of valuation is to first [Mining Area], then [[Mining Area]] Condition], and finally look at [Size], and finally evaluate a rough price based on the overall situation and sell it to the public.

However, the gambling stone itself is extremely uncertain, and any master of mine appraisal cannot be accurate to a single piece or multiple pieces.

After all, some rough stones look very good, but are found to be garbage when cut open, while some rough stones look inconspicuous, but can produce Chaos Spiritual Stones.

This is the charm of gambling on stones.

Only when the quantity reaches a certain level and a certain balance between right and wrong can the approximate price be endlessly reasonable.

This is somewhat similar to the big data theory on Earth.

Serious stone gambling shops generally have their own mine appraisers who will continuously purchase rough stones from major mining areas at a relatively reasonable price.

Prince Huan glanced at the more than twenty rough stones laid out in the lobby, and looked a little impatient: "There are only more than twenty rough stones, what is there to choose from? They are all rounded and cut!"

"All, all cut off?"

Upon hearing this, even Duanmu Jinhua looked a little shocked.

He subconsciously confirmed to him: "Your Highness, you are not joking, are you? Add these together, it is estimated that there are more than 6 Chaos Spiritual Stones!"

These are all "high-end goods" that have been appraised by the master of mining and are promising. The most expensive piece of "high-end goods" is only the size of a fist, but the asking price is a full 8 Chaos Spiritual Stones.

Although it is small, it is the best quality among the more than 20 pieces of rough stone. After preliminary appraisal by the mine appraisal master in the store, it is believed that there is a high probability that it can contain a Chaos Spiritual Stone. As for whether one or two pieces can be found, it depends on Depends on luck.

"What?" Prince Jian narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, with obvious displeasure in his eyes, "Afraid that I can't afford the money?"

"No, no, no, how could it be?" Duanmu Jinhua said quickly, "With just over 6 Chaos Spiritual Stones, His Highness will naturally not take them seriously. Since it is His Highness's wish, let's go all out. This batch I’ll give His Highness a 20% discount on the goods!”

After saying that, he immediately turned around, waved his hand, and ordered with a majestic look: "Come, do as Your Highness wishes."

Bet on stones and get all the benefits, you are undoubtedly the biggest victim!

In the fairy world, although there is no theoretical concept of "big data", there are already related practical applications.

Whether it's a casino or a stone betting shop, after eliminating some shady tricks, they are actually using big data to make money.

for example.

When a serious stone gambling shop buys a large quantity of raw stones with a thousand Chaos Spiritual Stones, the estimated appraisal value is mostly based on the ability to produce a thousand Chaos Spiritual Stones.

Of course, the actual total number of Chaos Spiritual Stones contained in this batch of goods is actually uncertain, maybe eight hundred, maybe one thousand two hundred. But in the long run, the average number of Chaos Spiritual Stones contained in it will be infinitely close to one thousand.

But they don't care about this. They just need to sell each rough stone at double the estimated value.

In this way, the risk is completely transferred to the stone gambling players, and the stone gambling shops make money anyway.

But correspondingly, if there are stone gamblers who choose to open a large number of rough stones in the store, because the price has been raised, they will need to bear a lot of risks, and the probability of losing money in the end is very high.

Of course, this is a simple example, and the actual situation is often much more complex than this.

Following Duanmu Jinhua's order, the "clerks" in the store who had reached the level of true fairyland immediately swarmed forward and cut the rough stones with great professionalism.

Prince Huan, on the other hand, remained calm as usual and began to drink wine contentedly under the service of a demon cultivator maid.

Duanmu Jinhua also had a peaceful mind.

According to his estimation, with Prince Huan's current gameplay, even if it is at a 20% discount, there is a high probability that he will lose 2 Chaos Spirit Stones, and there is a small probability that he will make neither profit nor loss. Of course, if he is really lucky, he may make some profit.

The onlookers outside were also talking a lot. They felt that Tai Zihuan's gameplay was inappropriate and the chance of losing was too great.

Suddenly.

A clerk finished cutting a piece of rough stone and was stunned on the spot, with a tone of disbelief: "The bet, the bet failed?"

The piece of rough stone he cut was very small, but it was the most expensive one, worth 8 Chaos Spiritual Stones.

This is a rough stone that has a very high probability of being sold in large quantities. He cut quickly just to get good luck. Maybe the cut went up, and Prince Jianyi was happy and got a reward.

But what is this?

Inside the stone is actually just a top-quality spiritual stone! It's like all 8 Chaos Spiritual Stones were wasted.

Outside the store, the three people squatting in the distance also saw this scene.

"It's so amazing!" Goddess Qingli laughed and transmitted the message to the other two people: "I remember this stone. It's very small and the price is very expensive. And it looks very good at first glance. I was a little tempted and wanted to buy it. I cut everything, but sister Li Ci said she didn’t feel anything and it didn’t taste good.”

"Sister Li Ci is mighty." Divine Son Jun Hao also had a serious face, and his eyes when looking at Wang Lizi were particularly sincere and fiery, "I declare that from today on, sister Li Ci is the best sister among all my sisters!"

"I object." Goddess Qingli was furious.

Although she has no interest in the so-called first sister at all, she is really angry to be rejected in person like this~

"Objection is invalid. If you are not convinced, I will expel your sister." Jun Hao said confidently.

He thought to himself, how could Li Ci be his sister? She was just a thick and strong golden thigh. Of course he would hug her tightly if he had the chance.

While everyone was talking and laughing.

More than twenty rough stones have been unlocked one after another.

Bet on failure, bet on failure, bet on failure again and again!

The scene gradually became awkward. The whispers that had been heard from time to time outside the store slowly stopped.

Duanmu Jinhua's face also became a little strange, and he looked at the shopkeeper questioningly.

The shopkeeper began to sweat on his forehead.

He is the master of ore appraisal in the store, and he does all the ore appraisal and pricing with his own hands. Based on past experience, this batch of goods can contain approximately two to four Chaos Spirit Stones, so the total price tag is more than six Chaos Spirit Stones.

But what's happening now?

There were more than twenty rough stones, but the final products that were finally solved only amounted to a few fairy stones!

This is no longer a gamble, but a collapse!

That's it?

Prince Huan was also shocked by this scene.

He straightened his body slightly and looked at Duanmu Jinhua with a sharp look.

With this kind of gambling failure, maybe he got a batch of rubbish rough stones with false price tags to fool him, right?

why is that? Could it be that... Duanmu Jinhua saw his true purpose? You deliberately made a batch of junk goods to make him lose the bet, and you want to use this as a warning to persuade him to quit?

"Your Highness Huan, there is a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!" Noticing the look in Prince Huan's eyes, Duanmu Jinhua hurriedly said, "There may be some flaws in this matter. This batch of goods does not count as money for us! It does not count as money!"

After hearing this, Tai Zihuan's tense expression relaxed slightly.

He stared at Duanmu Jinhua's expression, as if to judge the authenticity of his words. After a moment, he leaned back in his chair and waved his hand casually: "Since it is a misunderstanding, forget it. As for money... Haha, does this prince lack these Chaos Spiritual Stones? Please ask someone to get a batch of them quickly."

Duanmu Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the shopkeeper, his voice suddenly became stern: "Come here, bring another batch."

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and bowed away.

This time, there must be no mistakes.

Then, after a full stick of incense, the shopkeeper and the clerk came back, and they also brought back more than thirty rough stones.

During this period, the scattered stone fragments in the lobby have been cleared. More than thirty rough stones were laid out, almost occupying an area in the center of the lobby.

This batch was selected by him again from the best products.

In his estimation, the total value of the spiritual stones contained in this batch of goods should exceed 20 chaos spiritual stones. A 20% discount on the whole package may make money!

Prince Huan didn't say anything when he saw this. He waved his hand again and opened it fully!

The shop assistants immediately began to analyze the stones in a hurry.

After a few moments, the scene was silent again.

This batch of high-quality raw stones, with a total price of more than 20 Chaos Spiritual Stones, actually only produced 3 Chaos Spiritual Stones!

You said that Wang Lizi didn't lick it clean, that's of course right.

She can't lick away all the rough stones, there will always be some exceptions. For example, if the selling price is very different from the actual value, even if there are Chaos Spiritual Stones in it, you definitely cannot buy it.

There is also a kind of rough stone that although the difference is not much different, but the selling price is as high as 1 Chaos Spiritual Stone. In the end, it only contains a few tenths of Chaos Spiritual Stone, so I will definitely not buy it.

In short, Wang Lizi is determined not to engage in loss-making business.

The three Chaos Spiritual Stones found in this batch of rough stones were left behind for similar reasons.

But what is the difference between this and a hemorrhage?

Prince Huan laughed angrily: "Interesting, so interesting. Are you, Haotian Mining Company, planning to kill this Prince as a scapegoat?"

As he spoke, a majestic and vast aura of terror rose from his body and swept the entire stone gambling shop in an instant.

For a moment, the air in the store seemed to freeze.

Duanmu Jinhua's face changed slightly, but he felt doubly wronged in his heart.

This is really incredible.

He was sure that the shopkeeper did not dare to deceive him, and the materials he brought out must be good materials that had been appraised, but it was these materials that fell apart piece by piece. This situation was really unbelievable and even more fishy.

But no matter what, this matter cannot continue today.

Duanmu Jinhua hurriedly bowed to Prince Jian solemnly and apologized: "Your Highness Jian, this is all a mistake in the work of our store. Not only will we not accept any money from these two payments, we will also prepare generous gifts for you. Apologize."

Prince Huan frowned slightly.

He actually felt something strange about this matter.

This time, he did not come here to bet on stones, but to win the prize for the maid named "Jue'er" beside him.

Ruo'er originally came from a fairy family, and the family was not bad at first. However, her brother was tricked by Haotian Mining and fell into the quagmire of stone gambling. In the end, his family was ruined and he was homeless.

As a result, Ruo'er was sold to the Demon Temple's territory, and finally luckily fell into the hands of his prince, Huan, and finally got over his relationship.

Prince Huan was a protective nature. After learning about Ruo'er's experience, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to refresh the Shenying Ranking to avenge his precious Ruo'er and vent his anger.

Originally, he already had a complete set of plans, but he never thought that he would encounter such a weird thing as soon as he arrived!

Is it possible that the other party recognized Juer?

Impossible~!

After Ruo'er joined the Demon Temple, her bloodline and aura had changed due to her cultivation of skills, and her image was no longer the little girl she was before. Logically speaking, even people who were very familiar with her would probably not be able to recognize her now. .

Just when Prince Huan was doubtful.

The woman named "Jue'er" secretly winked at him and said through a message: "Your Highness, the other party has been on guard today, and we probably can't get over it. It's better to retreat and find another plan."

After all, he is the heir carefully cultivated by His Majesty the Demon God. Prince Huan is not as reckless and domineering as he appears on the surface.

Those are just the disguises he shows.

Feeling that the matter was beyond his control, he thought about it briefly and felt that it was impossible to do, so he decided to retreat temporarily.

But he had just made up his mind and before he could speak, a subtle yet pleasant female voice suddenly rang in his ears: "His Royal Highness, reserve the place and reserve all the rough stones in this store."

It was obvious that someone was transmitting a message to him.

"?"

Prince Huan was stunned.

Who is giving me bad ideas? Could it be that he wanted to cooperate with this black shop and kill his scapegoat?

"Don't poke your head in the air, and arouse the other party's suspicion for nothing." The woman's voice sounded again, "I, the Qingli Goddess, am ready to bring down this black shop. Since His Highness Jian got into the game at the right time, why not just cooperate with me once, and I owe you one." Favor.”

Prince Huan was speechless.

If you say you are Qingli, then you are Qingli?

I still suspect that you and this black shop are conspiring together to deceive this prince!

As if aware of Prince Jian's suspicion, the voice of Goddess Qingli continued in his ear: "Five hundred years ago, you teased Sister Xinglan and said that you would pay for her to support her, but she beat you so hard that you begged for mercy. I was still young at that time, so I could only watch helplessly from the side..."

Prince Huan's face darkened.

Okay, stop talking, I know you are Qingli!

If Qingli said something else, he might not be able to confirm it so quickly, but when this incident happened, there were only two people present besides himself, and that was Xinglan and Qingli.

The two of them took his hush money, so they wouldn't talk nonsense...

In order to prevent the Qingli Goddess from continuing to talk about her output to him, Prince Huan made a prompt decision and entered the play directly.

He seemed to be irritated by Duanmu Jinhua's attitude, and showed an angry attitude: "Duanmu Jinhua, do I need your money? Who wants you to waive the bill?"

"You are humiliating this prince and my demon temple!"

"I don't believe it, my luck is really so bad! Book the place! Take out all the rough stones in your store! I'll cover it all!"

He is actually not close to the Qingli Goddess. The reason why he dares to make such bold statements and trusts the Qingli Goddess is mainly because the Qingli Goddess recently robbed the Supreme You's lair and is extremely rich. The booking fee should be enough. Started.

Of course, he would show the most sincere respect to a wealthy goddess like Qingli Goddess.

If it were the poor gods such as Jun Hao or Xinglan Goddess who proposed this suggestion to him, Prince Huan would obviously not give them this face, because the other party would not be able to pay him back the money. .

He, Prince Huan, is just rich, not a fool.

…
