Chapter 643: The Man Behind the Scenes
Gambling on stones is indeed a matter of luck, no one can deny this. Biquge is either a Gu Master or a Gu Immortal.
But the yellow-scaled shark is very confident in himself.
Because he was prepared.
Over the years, he opened this golden jade house and often gambled on stones himself. Over the years, he continued to observe, speculate, and analyze, and selected some stones. He was very confident about the contents of these stones.
Of course, the value of the things in these stones was not high. If they were of high value, he would have been eager to open it himself and would not have kept it in the store until now.
He was thinking about his own business.
These stones will most likely produce poisonous insects. Although their value is not high, they are a small stimulation for the guests. It's like bait on a hook, attracting them to keep betting and investing money.
The yellow-scaled sharks knew exactly where these stones were placed. Sometimes he would deliberately sell his experience in stone gambling in front of important guests. When he opened the stone, he would often get poisonous insects, creating an image of himself as a knowledgeable person in the field of stone gambling.
Now, the yellow-scaled shark is using these stones to gamble with Charlene. He is extremely confident and has great confidence.
However, in the first game, he tasted failure.
Xia Lin actually fired a level three Gu worm, overwhelming him.
This is a good start!
The Gu Masters who were watching were all amazed.
The yellow-scaled mermaid also looked at her with surprise and uncertainty. Could it be that the mermaid girl in front of her was hiding something secret?
He had previously proposed a best-of-three bet, but Xia Lin took the initiative to change it to a best-of-five bet. The bet was even greater, covering the entire Golden Jade House. At the same time, the gambling method has also changed. As long as Charlene fails once, she will hand over the oil-picking Gu.
But now, Xia Lin won. Not only did she keep the oil extraction Gu, but she also deserved 20% of the gold and jade house.
"Are you kidding me? I actually lost!?" The yellow-scaled shark felt unbelievable.
He stared closely at the mermaid girl in front of him, but the suspicion in his heart slowly dissipated.
The yellow-scaled shark was experienced, and he could tell at a glance that Charlene was a complete novice, especially the way she looked surprised after the Gu worm was released. She was not pretending, but showing her true feelings.
Another point that proves it even more is that Charlene doesn't know how to solve stones by herself. The stone she had just selected was made with the help of the Stone Gu Master equipped in the Golden Jade House.
"Damn, it looks like she just got lucky!"
"But fortunately the bet has been changed. If it was a best of two out of three games before, I would have been very passive. Now I have a best of three out of five games, and I still have a lot of room."
Thinking of this, the yellow-scaled shark glanced at the Stone Gu Master behind Xia Lin with extremely obscure eyes.
The Stone Gu Master nodded imperceptibly.
The yellow-scaled shark couldn't help but smile proudly in his heart. With his own people around, no matter what stone Charlene chose, even if it was poisoned, it would make it dead or crippled. Look how she still fights with herself!
The second round begins.
"It's my turn to choose first this time." Charlene said.
"As you wish." The yellow-scaled shark responded with a smile.
Charlene walked around twice and was dazzled.
"I choose this." Suddenly, she stopped and pointed at a strange rock in front of her.
This strange rock is very strange. There are countless potholes on the surface, the shape is also distorted, and the texture is not dense, as if it was piled up after random accumulation of sand.
According to the lingo of stone gambling, this is a sand cave stone, and it is difficult to extract Gu insects.
Seeing Xia Lin's choice, the yellow-scaled shark smiled.
He pretended, walking around, touching this, knocking on that. After a while, he patted a boulder and said, "Then I will choose this one."
The unraveling of stones has begun.
The yellow-scaled shark took matters into his own hands, while Xia Lin entrusted a Gu master who specialized in removing stones.
The bet was public, so the two parties took action directly in the lobby. More and more people were watching, and during the low-pitched exchanges, those who came later learned of such a huge bet, stopped with interest, and chose to wait and see.
For the Gu Master, the stakes are high.
On one side is the entire golden house, which has been in business for many years and has strong capital.
On the other side is the top level five oil extraction Gu.
The stakes of the two parties are similar, both because the oil extraction Gu is so good, and with it to collect black oil, the profits will be considerable.
The stone chosen by the yellow-scaled shark was very huge, and it would take some time to unravel it.
The stones on Charlene's side were very fast. After all, the texture of sand travertine is like this, very rough.
The Gu master who helped Xia Lin unlock the stone was lavish and generous, with no psychological burden at all. Because even if the Gu insect was accidentally injured in the solution stone, it would actually make the yellow-scaled shark happy.
But at this time, Xia Lin suddenly said: "Use the dust method to dissolve the stone."
The Stone-Removing Gu Master slowed down and looked at Charlene: "Are you sure? This method of removing stones has extremely limited effect on Sand Cave Stone."
"I'm sure." Charlene said.
The stone-unlocking Gu master slowly shook his head: "Little girl, I'm not lying to you. Since I'm unblocking stones for you, I won't cheat. You might as well ask the people around you. They all know that this method of using dust to unblock sand cave stones can almost it is invalid."
"I don't need to ask, just do whatever I ask you to do. The previous bet was made clear." Charlene insisted.
"Okay, okay, okay." The Stone Gu Master could only nod.
As soon as the dust method was used, the efficiency of dismantling the sandstone suddenly plummeted to the bottom of the valley.
The Stone Gu Master was very depressed. In the past, it was as if the chef was cutting the tofu with a knife, but now he was stabbing the tofu with a needle, which consumed even more real energy.
"Use the fire method again." After a moment, Charlene said again.
Some Gu Masters around him screamed in surprise and spoke out to stop him.
The stone poison master also said: "The fire smoke method will directly penetrate into the inside of the sand cave stone. If there is poison inside, it will be killed before it is mined out."
"Just do it as you are told." Charlene said expressionlessly.
The surrounding Gu masters suddenly sighed, and someone said directly: "This little girl still bets with others? She is not even a novice, she is just messing around!"
But Charlene looked determined, even with a hint of leisure.
The Stone Seal Gu Master shook his head: "Since you have decided, then I will do it. Everyone else can see it clearly. This is not something I did to harm you on purpose, it was your own request."
"Use the dripping method."
"Blue Mark Method."
"Change the Qi method."
Next, Charlene continued to speak, commanding decisively.
The sand cave stone has been reduced to the size of a fist, but no worms have emerged yet.
The stone-solving Gu master looked unkind. He thought that Charlene was deliberately entertaining him. She knew some methods of stone-solving, so she just talked about it casually.
"Okay, give it to me, and I will solve the stone myself." Charlene suddenly said.
"What?" The Stone Gu Master was stunned, and quickly reacted, exhaling a breath of turbid air, and handed the stone to Charlene.
Charlene bit the tip of her tongue, spit out a mouthful of blood at the stone, and then activated her oil-picking Gu to suck violently at the stone.
Click.
The stone broke open, revealing a third-level Gu insect.
"Is there really a poison?"
"What kind of poison is this? I've never seen it before."
"It is still sleeping. Judging from its appearance, it is still intact and not injured."
The Gu Masters who were watching made a small sensation.
The Stone Gu Master was completely shocked. He looked at Charlene blankly, full of doubts in his heart: "Is this little girl really pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"
The yellow-scaled shark also stopped understanding the stone and turned pale.
Even if it is solved, there is only one second-turn in his stone, but the opponent has a third-turn, and it is still alive!
"There really is a gu! What Master Chu said is indeed true!" Xia Lin was filled with joy.
Among the crowd, Fang Yuan smiled faintly.
In fact, there are no Gu insects at all in this sand cave stone, but it does contain a piece of Gu material.
Fang Yuan instructed Xia Lin and indirectly commanded the Stone Gu Master to refine this Gu material. Finally, after Xia Lin dripped blood, she used the oil extraction Gu to complete the last step.
Generally, the refined Gu insects are full of vigor and vitality, but the method used by Fang Yuan to refine the Gu is quite special. The refined Gu insects will fall into a deep sleep state. This was a perfect disguise, hiding it from all the other Gu Masters present. No one has any clues or flaws.
The realm of a quasi-grandmaster in refining the Tao is no joke!
Everyone felt very uneasy, and the way they looked at Charlene changed drastically.
"Who on earth sent you?!" The yellow-scaled shark shouted, his previous demeanor completely gone.
He realized something was wrong and thoughts were boiling in his mind.
He has offended many people over the years. He feels that Charlene may be a bait and he has fallen into a trap carefully designed by others. Using a rank five Gu to make a game is really a big deal!
"calm down."
"I can't take any more risks. The other party is prepared."
The yellow-scaled shark wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his gaze fixed.
He still has a trump card.
In this golden and jade house, there are also a group of special stones.
These stones are not naturally formed, but fake stones made by the Yellow Scaled Sharks themselves.
He first puts living or dead Gu insects into a deep sleep state. Then use them as the center and keep adding gravel on the outside. The result is a "natural" stone that looks just like the real thing.
Stones containing Gu insects usually have some external characteristics that make them different from ordinary stones.
This kind of stone is not so easy to find.
Sometimes, in order to solve the problem of shortage of goods in stone betting shops, Huanglinmao people make their own fake stones. Of course, not all of these fake stones contain Gu insects, and some only have strange features on the surface.
The third game, defeated.
The fourth game, another defeat!
The Gu Masters who were watching were in an uproar. No one expected this result.
Everyone was looking at Charlene with fear and solemnity.
The yellow-scaled shark's face was pale, and he was gnashing his teeth. There was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes, like a jackal being driven to the edge of a cliff.
"The last one, I absolutely can't lose! It seems I have to use my biggest trump card."
The yellow-scaled shark's trump card is naturally very big, and the remains of a rank five Gu are hidden in a fake stone. According to the rules of stone gambling, only a living rank five Gu can defeat him.
Both sides choose stones and unravel them.
Snapped.
Fang Yuan suddenly snapped his fingers, the Eternal Dao Immortal Level Killing Move!
The entire Golden Jade House and even the island came to a standstill, with all people and objects motionless.
Fang Yuan Shiran walked out of the crowd and came to the front of the yellow-scaled shark. He was staring intently at the flames in front of him, unraveling the stone meticulously.
Fang Yuan walked to the stone, squeezed it gently, and found the remains of a rank five Gu worm in his hand.
Then he sent the remains into the stone chosen by Charlene and returned to the crowd.
The next moment, time flows again.
