Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1322 Gambling on Stones

Ye Qing stared at Chen Xuan in disbelief and said, "You're carrying three hundred million blue crystals with you? Looks like you guys have made a lot of money!"

"Ahem!" Chen Xuan quickly said, "Actually, it's not much. Our planet has advanced technology and is indeed quite profitable, but most of it is taken away, and the remaining part has to be distributed. Maintaining a planet is very expensive!"

"I saved up this money for many years. My grandfather wanted me to use some connections when I went to the Genius Battle!" Chen Xuan said. "But I was lucky, I didn't need to use them!"

"You participated in the Genius Battle?" Gerong looked at Chen Xuan with admiration.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

Gerong quickly replied, "Don't worry, gentlemen, I will absolutely not mention any information about you to anyone!"

"I mainly admire the people who participate in the Genius Battle; they are all geniuses from across the universe," Gerong said.

"Just tell me if it's possible to make an appointment!" Chen Xuan said.

"It should be fine!" Gerong nodded and said, "I'll let the front desk know first, then make an appointment for you. I'll let you know when they arrive."

"Remember to notify them separately!" Chen Xuan said.

Ye Qing glanced at Chen Xuan with envy!

Chen Xuan quickly said, "If you win at the jade gambling, you should go and experience it too!"

"Forget it, I don't want to be on the same path as you!" Ye Qing said.

Chen Xuan: “…”

They took the elevator to the first floor.

After arriving on the first floor, Gerong went to make an appointment first, and soon returned to Ye Qing and the others, saying, "The appointment is ready. Once the Venerable One responds, the time will be available!"

"Shall I go pay now?" Chen Xuan asked excitedly.

"No need, His Excellency will personally collect the money from you later," Gerong said.

"Does Yongle City not take a cut?" Ye Qing asked.

Gerong nodded and said, "Although I don't know the reason, it's true that they don't take a cut. All the money was taken away by that Venerable One!"

"It's probably for the sake of publicity. A Venerable-level expert doing this here will attract countless people from across the universe," Ye Qing said. "Never mind that, tell me about this casino! How do I play?"

“As mentioned earlier, the first floor houses various gambling dens!” Gerong said. “The minimum bet here starts at 10,000, while the second floor is even more expensive.”

"The third and fourth floors are entertainment venues, while the fifth floor and above are jade gambling areas!" Gerong said, "The fifth floor is the general jade gambling area set up by various gambling houses. Most of the stones in this area are worth tens of millions of Taiyun coins, but some are even less!"

"On the sixth floor, besides the star-patterned stones from our Yongle Casino, there are also star-patterned stones from some large casinos. The star-patterned stones on the sixth floor are much more valuable, and of course, the probability of getting something from them is also much higher!"

"The eighth and ninth floors are residential, so what about the seventh floor?" Ye Qing asked.

"The seventh floor is the jade gambling market!" Gerong said excitedly. "That's the craziest place. Countless people become rich overnight there, and countless others are instantly reduced to nothing. It's extremely exciting!"

"Oh?" Ye Qing's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "How does the betting work?"

"Inside the seventh-floor jade gambling area, there are all kinds of star-patterned stones. The so-called jade gambling involves two or more people selecting and purchasing stones, and then each person betting a certain amount of money. The person whose stones yield the best results becomes the winner and takes all the bets away!" Gerong said.

“Besides that, there are all sorts of discs… In short, it’s very exciting there!” Gerong said.

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he said, "Botting on stones? Even people with no grudges are gambling?"

“Of course, it’s a random match,” Gerong said. “Of course, you can also invite each other to go up and gamble!”

Ye Qing nodded and said, "This is interesting. This is my first time at Yongle Casino. Why don't you take me to the fifth floor to have some fun?"

Gerong looked troubled and said, "Sir, the fifth floor and above is a place for gambling on stones, and star-patterned stones are extremely valuable, generally worth the price of a sixth-grade weapon, which is more than ten million!"

"While there are millions of star-patterned stones available, it's possible that out of a thousand of them, not a single item will be found. It's practically a waste of money!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Ye Qing said. "Just take me to see it. Maybe I'm the chosen one? If we don't get it, we can just exchange it for some more blue crystals."

"Okay!" Gerong nodded!

Soon, Ye Qing and his group arrived at the fifth floor.

What surprised Ye Qing was that there were a lot of people playing with star-patterned stones in this universe, and there were many people observing at almost every stall.

Some people are touching the stone, while others are shining high-tech lasers on it, as if trying to see through the stone.

Ye Qing knew that this star-patterned stone had its own unique texture, which was very well hidden, and ordinary people could not see anything about it at all.

Soon, Gerong led Ye Qing to a stall.

Inside the stall, many people were observing, while in the distance, a considerable number of star-patterned stones were piled up, and in front of these stones, several people were watching them one by one.

Next to it hung a sign that read, "Three million for a single stone, no bargaining!"

"If you can't get anything out of this thing even with a thousand stones, why is it so expensive? Can it even be sold?" Ye Qing asked.

Gerong gave a wry smile and said, "I might be able to sell one occasionally. After all, there are a lot of people who want to find a bargain. If you get really lucky and find something comparable to a level seven weapon, you'll be rich!"

"Of course, if they can't sell, they will continue to lower the price. After all, there's no point in keeping them. Most stalls are sold slowly, and even the cheapest ones can cost hundreds of thousands."

Ye Qing nodded.

He came to the pile of stones and squatted down!

When the stall worker saw Ye Qing squatting down in front of the pile of star-patterned stones, he frowned and didn't even want to serve Ye Qing anymore!

After Ye Qing squatted down, his divine eyes were quickly activated!

To outsiders, he hadn't changed much, but Ye Qing at this moment seemed to be able to sense the aura between the cold stones!

After a moment, Ye Qing silently shook his head and said, "Let's go, next place!"
