1154: Chapter 454: Stone Gambling Convention?
Chapter 454
“Lady, this afternoon Guyan and I went out for a stroll, and we heard that there’s going to be a Stone Gambling Convention in Jinghua City in a couple of days.
Should we go take a look?” Chenxiang asked Mo Jiuli.
“Stone Gambling Convention?” Mo Jiuli asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, reportedly, the mineral veins around Jinghua City are plentiful, producing a wealth of ores, so there is a Stone Gambling Convention every year!
The day after tomorrow is this year’s event!
Many people who are going to attend the Haotian Convention are arriving just in time, and they’ve specifically come here to participate in the Stone Gambling Convention first, then proceed to Haotian City to attend the Haotian Convention without any delay,” Chenxiang explained.
“So, what are they gambling on, Dark Stones?” Mo Jiuli asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, even Xue Jing and Yun Du looked curiously at Mo Jiuli.
Indeed, they had not expected Mo Jiuli to actually not know what was gambled on at the Stone Gambling Convention—a fact even Xue Jing, who had been trapped in the snowfield for years, was aware of.
It was hard not to be taken aback by Mo Jiuli’s unawareness…
Of course, Mo Jiuli did not understand why they were looking at her so surprised!
She truly did not know what kind of stones were involved in the Stone Gambling Convention…
After all, in her past life, she was a recluse, engrossed in the world of Medicine, spending her days with patients, cold medical instruments, or textbooks…
Since her soul had transmigrated here, all her knowledge of this world came from Little Book!
And Little Book was not an ordinary Artifact Spirit—it had a lifespan as long as the heavenly earth itself, had lived for who knows how long, and had been asleep for God knows how long.
You could ask it about major events, and it might know everything there is to know…
But as for Stone Gambling, which existed only in certain Low-Level World Interfaces, Little Book simply had no idea, and naturally, it never mentioned it to Mo Jiuli…
Therefore, Mo Jiuli genuinely did not know…
“Ahem, Lady, gambling on stones is actually not that different from gambling on Dark Stones, but here, it’s about ores!
Simply put, we buy the rough stones that we fancy, then cut them open.
Some of these rough stones may be sold at a high price, but the ores inside could be worthless, which means a loss!
Some rough stones might sell for very little, yet could contain gems of high purity and level inside, and that would mean a big win!
That’s roughly what it means…” Chenxiang chuckled while explaining to Mo Jiuli.
After listening to Chenxiang, Mo Jiuli also understood what he meant and comprehended that the Stone Gambling Convention was likely about betting on ores and jade stones…
Besides Dark Stones, which could be used for cultivation and expenditure, this world also had other materials like jade, jadeite, and ores, which could be used in Artifact refinement or Pill Refining, among other things…
Some gems were extremely hard to find, with prices so high they were priceless!
“It seems really interesting, and since we have some time, let’s all go and have a look,” Mo Jiuli said interestedly to the group, without any signs of being disheartened.
“Okay, I’ll find out more about it tomorrow, and then we can all go together!” Chenxiang happily said.
“I’ll go with you,” Guyan said.
“Alright!” Chenxiang responded.
Mo Jiuli smiled and didn’t say much, but with Guyan around, Chenxiang seemed to have found a compatible buddy!
Since Wangchuan had a rather cold and quiet temperament, which was the opposite of Chenxiang’s lively nature, when the two of them used to spend time together, one could usually only hear Chenxiang’s non-stop chatter while Wangchuan stood by with a look of disdain.
Now that Guyan was here, Wangchuan was thoroughly relieved…
