In the antique room, there were two men talking softly, they were Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun. The initials of the new domain name Kele Novel Network (k1xsw), the largest free romance Chinese website, hurry up. `

"Mr. Ma." Xing Yajun smiled slightly: "Listening to your accent, it shouldn't be a local, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "No." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have come to the capital this time for the Gambling Stone Competition, right?" Xing Yajun continued to ask.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "The scale of the decade-old gambling stone competition is huge, as long as those who are interested in gambling stones, it is estimated that they will participate." ”

"I agree with Mr. Ma's words." Xing Yajun said with a smile: "The Gambling Stone Contest is jointly organized by many countries, the scale must be huge, and you can see a lot of cherished stones in the competition, which is likely to contain peerless treasures, but ......" Speaking of this, Xing Yajun suddenly stopped.

"Just what?" Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask.

Xing Yajun smiled slightly: "The stones in the competition are very expensive, and people who don't have a certain amount of financial resources can't afford them." ”

"How expensive can it be?" Ma Yao pouted disapprovingly.

"As far as I know, the gambling stone competition is divided into three parts, the front court, the middle field, and the back field, the front court has the most stones, and it is also the cheapest, mainly used to entertain ordinary people, and the stones in the middle field are slightly less, mainly used to entertain people with status, as for the back field...... Only those who received the invitation will be allowed to enter. ”

"Invitation? What invitations? Ma Xiaoyao frowned.

"An invitation from the organizer of the Gambling Stone Contest." Xing Yajun didn't sell it: "Only people with special status and status can receive invitations, in other words, only those high-ranking officials and nobles are eligible to get invitations." ”

"Levels are really everywhere." Ma shook his head disdainfully: "A gambling stone competition also has to be graded, I really don't know what to say." ”

"Since the birth of human beings, hierarchy has existed, and after so many years of inheritance, hierarchy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is almost impossible to break the concept of hierarchy and make the world just and fair. Xing Yajun said with deep feelings.

"Not necessarily." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "The world is progressing, and people are also progressing, haven't you appeared?" People are living much better now than before, and they are treated much better than before, and I'm sure that human life will get better and better in the future...... Of course, it is impossible to achieve 100% fairness. ”

"Well, you're right." Xing Yajun nodded.

"You just said that the stones in the Gambling Stone Contest are very expensive, how expensive are they? Can you quote a price directly? Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"Mr. Ma, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." Xing Yajun said unhurriedly: "As I just said, the gambling stone competition is divided into three parts: the front, the middle and the back, and the stones in the front are relatively cheaper, but each piece also needs thousands of taels of silver. ”

"A thousand taels of silver?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "This is too expensive." ”

"Compared to the midfield and the backfield, the stone in the front field is already very cheap." Xing Yajun continued: "The stone in the middle of the field costs thousands of taels of silver, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the stone in the back field is even more expensive, it is simply outrageously expensive, a stone costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and some stones are even worth millions of taels of silver, Mr. Ma, do you say it is expensive?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao crooked his mouth: "Of course it's expensive!" It's just too expensive. ”

"Although it is expensive, there are still countless people who participate in the competition every year."

"Are people crazy? Spend so much silver to gamble on stones? If you win the bet, it's okay to say, if you lose the bet, wouldn't it be bankrupt? ”

"Everyone understands this truth, but everyone wants to try their luck, to put it bluntly, people's hearts are too greedy, and they always want to get rich overnight."

"It's crazy!"

"The stones in the Gambling Stone Contest are carefully selected, and the probability of producing a treasure is high, so the selling price is a little higher."

"Isn't it just a little higher? It's just high and boundless. ”

"Mr. Ma, after listening to what I told you, do you still want to participate in the Stone Gambling Contest alone?" Xing Yajun asked with a smile. `

"Well...... this" Ma Xiaoyao didn't rush to answer, if what Xing Yajun said was true, then the little silver on him was really not enough to squander, a stone could be fried for tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is simply nonsense, and some stones are sold for millions of taels of silver, which is even more nonsense.

Seeing Ma Xiaoyao's hesitant expression, Xing Yajun knew that Ma Xiaoyao was tempted, as long as he worked harder, things should be done: "Mr. Ma, what else do you have to hesitate, our cooperation is a win-win situation, besides, if there is no recommendation from me, you can't enter the midfield at all, at most you will be in the front court." ”

"Oh?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his head: "So, as long as I have your recommendation, I can enter the midfield to pick stones?" ”

"Yes." Xing Yajun nodded.

"What if I want to get into the backcourt?" Ma Xiaoyao asked, "Can you take me in?" ”

"Uh...... This ......" Xing Yajun smiled unnaturally: "Don't think about it in the backfield, a person of our identity is at most into the midfield." ”

Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Can't you think of a way?" You also said just now, the stones in the backfield are very good, and the probability of a peerless baby is high, so as long as you can take me into the backfield, I will agree to cooperate with you. ”

"Not really." Xing Yajun said with a wry smile: "I have just said that if you want to enter the backcourt gambling stone, you must hold the invitation sent by the organizer, and you can't enter the backfield without the invitation." ”

"Then you can get an invitation, if you can't do it, you will buy one at a high price."

"How can it be so easy? Anyone who gets an invitation is either rich or expensive, and the last thing people lack is money, and it is impossible to buy invitations from them. ”

"Then you go and steal one, and if you can't do it, you can grab it."

"I still want to live a few more years, the people who can receive the invitation are not ordinary people, if I steal the invitation, I will definitely be killed on the spot, besides, the invitation is marked with my name, even if I can steal the invitation, I can't use it."

"So, it's impossible for us to get into the backcourt?"

"It's hard, it's hard." Xing Yajun shook his head: "Unless we get an invitation from the organizer, or someone with an invitation is willing to vouch for us......

"You've been here for so long, you should know a few people with status, right? You go to them for help, but you can't bribe them with more money. Ma Xiaoyao began to make suggestions.

"I've tried it a long time ago, and it doesn't work." Xing Yajun said.

"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, you're so useless." Ma Yao snorted.

"Actually, it's not bad to be able to enter the midfield gambling stones, and there are a lot of good stones in the midfield." Xing Yajun said: "Mr. Ma, how are you thinking about it?" Do you want to work with me? ”

"You pay, I contribute? The final benefit is divided equally? ”

"Yes."

"What if you lose your bet? After all, I am a human being, not a god, and there must be times when I miss. ”

"Lost...... It's all mine, and I will never let Mr. Ma lose a penny. ”

"There is no basis for words, let's make a note, so that it is safer for you and me, don't you say?"

"So, you agreed to work with me?" Xing Yajun's eyes lit up.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I want to think about it, I really can't think of a reason to refuse you, you don't have to pay for it, you can enjoy the fun of gambling stones, and the final benefits can be divided into half, of course I won't refuse this kind of good thing." ”

"Okay, let's make a note now." Xing Yajun wrote down two documents as quickly as possible, and then the two sides signed their names on them, and pressed their handprints, and then each person put them away closely.

Once the document was established, the cooperation between the two officially began.

"Mr. Ma, I bought a batch of stones some time ago, spent a lot of silver, and now they are stored in the warehouse, if you are not busy, go and help me identify it, I want to know if I have seen it or not." Xing Yajun made an invitation.

How shrewd is Ma Yao? After listening to Xing Yajun's words, he understood in his heart that Xing Yajun was still not very comfortable with him, and wanted to test his gambling ability again.

"Okay, I'm fine right now anyway, so I'll help you take a look." Ma Xiaoyao happily agreed, and he also wanted to establish his prestige in front of Xing Yajun.

"Let's go, I'll take you." Xing Yajun stood up and couldn't wait to lead the horse towards the warehouse.

The warehouse is located behind the shop, it is a large closed house, there are no windows, only a large iron door, there are more than a dozen locks hanging on the door, and there are more than a dozen men guarding the house, the guard strength is not bad, half of the small thieves will never break in, as for those thieves with strength...... It's hard to say.

"Mr. Ma, please wait a moment." Xing Yajun took out a bunch of keys from his arms, and then skillfully opened the door lock, and ......the heavy iron door slowly opened, revealing a pile of stones of different sizes.

"Oh, there's still a lot of stock." Ma Xiaoyao walked in with square steps, glanced at it roughly, and saw the situation in the warehouse clearly, the warehouse area is very large, there are thousands of square meters, and there is only one kind of thing stored here, that is, stones, roughly counted, there can be thousands of pieces.

"The stones near the gate were just bought, and as for the stones inside...... It's been a few years. Xing Yajun introduced beside him.

"Well, it's a good stone."

"And this one."

"These pieces are okay."

"There should be something good in this stone."

……

Ma Xiaoyao marked all the stones he saw, he turned around the warehouse, and finally picked out more than a hundred stones.

"Cut all the stones that Mr. Ma picked out!" Xing Yajun is also a person who dares to act, since he has chosen Ma Xiaoyao, he will do his best to believe it.

A few men walked out behind him, took knives and began to cut stones, they have been dealing with stones for many years, and have practiced a set of skilled knife techniques, no matter what kind of stone it is, in their hands, it will be cut in the shortest possible time, and it will not hurt the things inside
