Li Wuding was pondering, Shi Dongdong was already greeting, "Boss, boss, come here, that's it!"

Li Wuding only felt a sudden flash, and the sloppy old man suddenly appeared, incredibly fast, it turned out that this old man turned out to be a master!

The old man asked indifferently, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Shi Dongdong said confidently.

"That's good, the money and goods are clear, a thousand spirit stones!" the old man said lightly.

"Give. Shi Dongdong was not hypocritical, he didn't use tricks to deceive sympathy to reduce the price, and directly took out the spirit stone. It's not that he doesn't want to, but here, this trick doesn't work!

After receiving the spirit stone, the old man asked, "Do you want to solve the stone here, or do you take it whole?" The rough stone you bought from me can be solved for free. However, the rule is that the spirit stone rough is fragile and crackable, and no processing fee will be charged for mistakes, and no compensation will be made. ”

"Let's solve it here!" Shi Dongdong rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

He understands the rules, the reason why he is about to solve the stone is not without the meaning of showing off, Li Wuding can fight and calculate, relying on Li Wuding's help, he has earned a lot of votes. He didn't want to look too incompetent, this was the time for him to grow his face, how could he take it back and sneak the stone?

The sloppy old man easily lifted the heavy rough stone with one hand, and then led them to a corner of the cave, and then gently placed them on the shelf. He looked up and asked Shi Dongdong, "How to go under the knife, you decide or I decide?"

It makes sense for him to ask this, the cutting of the spirit stone rough is very particular, because the rough stone is wrapped in a lot of sand and gravel mixture, these mixtures are called placer ores, sedimentary ores, because of the uneven force, the sand and gravel mixture is easy to produce cracks due to vigorous extrusion when cutting, which may tear the internal structure and destroy the real spirit stone.

Therefore, before cutting the rough stone, the owner will be asked to be exempt from responsibility.

"You decide! You're more experienced!" Shi Dongdong's voice trembled a little.

One knife is poor, one knife is rich, and one knife wears sackcloth! This is a true portrayal of gambling spirit stones.

Countless monks and mortals poured into this industry, all eager to get rich overnight, but the vast majority of them didn't see a knife getting rich, and many of them cut themselves to death with a knife, so it was no wonder that Shi Dongdong was nervous.

"Good!" said the old man, scooping a scoop of oil, pouring it on the rough stone, then picking up a straight saw, cutting it gently and steadily.

The old man chose "horizontal splitting", which in the jargon means to divide the rough stone in half as evenly as possible.

There is an advantage to cutting in this way, what the result is at a glance, if you win the bet, you will get rich overnight, and if you lose the bet, you may go bankrupt, and you want a happy one.

As the saw gradually sank into the stone, Li Wuding found that Shi Dongdong unconsciously clenched his fists, with his current net worth, it seems that there is no need to be so nervous about gambling so much.

Li Wuding didn't know, but anyone who gambled on spirit stones liked this kind of atmosphere, when cutting stones, no one spoke, and that tense atmosphere was actually more fascinating than cutting a good stone before it was cut.

This is the "gambling nature" in human nature, it is a flaw in human nature, but many major discoveries are inseparable from gambling nature.

Wasn't Columbus's discovery of the New World a gamble?

Isn't it a gamble for Road Amundsen to be the first man to reach the South Pole?

So there are actually two sides to "gambling", depending on how you use it.

The original stone was cut by a third, and a trace of green light could be faintly seen from the gap in the incision, Shi Dongdong's tense expression finally relaxed a little, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, although he couldn't see whether there was a spirit stone inside, but at least he saw hope, and this thing might be ten times more likely to multiply.

"Do you want to continue cutting like this?" asked the old man.

Because I saw the "green head", there is a high probability that there are spirit stones below, generally speaking, it is a little safer, and it is more likely that the spirit stones will not be damaged by the knife from the other side.

"Cut! Good luck can't be interrupted!" Shi Dongdong is quite superstitious, he thinks that if he is lucky, he should not change it easily.

The old man poured a scoop of oil and continued to cut down.

Soon, the whole rough stone was about to be dissected, everyone held their breath, Shi Dongdong was even more inclined to watch, his heart had already raised his throat, watching the stone go down from the middle, and be cut little by little.

"Bang dang", the big stone is divided in two.

"How's that, how's that?" Shi Dongdong hurriedly stepped forward, just glanced at it, and the smile on his face froze.

"Hey, preserved eggcore!" said the old man regretfully.

"How is it possible, how can it be a preserved egg core?" Shi Dongdong looked depressed and sat down on the ground dejectedly.

The so-called preserved egg core is in the core of the original stone, only a thin circle of spirit stone skin, which is wrapped in it, in fact, it is a waste material, because it is shaped like a preserved egg, so it is called a preserved egg core.

The preserved egg core is not without value, but the value is relatively low, and there are very few parts that can be used, so this rough stone is a thing that can be dissolved.

"If you want, I can bid two hundred spirit stones for this preserved egg core. "I've seen too many processes of gambling on spirit stones, and it's either heaven or hell if you go down with a knife, so the old man is used to seeing it, but these two guys in front of him are obviously still students, and he inevitably has some compassion and wants to help them reduce their losses a little.

"I ......" Shi Dongdong blushed, he didn't feel sorry for money now, but felt that he was falling, and he was still patting his chest before and bragging about how powerful he was, but in a blink of an eye, he made a big oolong, it was really ......

There is a rule in the world of gambling spirit stones that nine out of ten bets will be lost, and in most cases they will lose their bets, so the profit after a rough stone is cut must be at least ten times more than ten times to make a profit, for example, Shi Dongdong has a fancy to this rough stone, and he must open 20,000 spirit stones to make money, otherwise he will lose money in terms of probability.

Of course, if that preserved egg core is full of spirit stones, cut into finger-thick spirit stones, I'm afraid there will be more than 30,000 pieces, then it will make a lot of money, but unfortunately, it's just a preserved egg core!

So if you don't have any money, don't gamble on stones, you'll really die!

Even the big sects that are rich and rival the country do not dare to come to gamble on spirit stones often, so they can only play for fun.

Those who boast that they can see from the outside that there are spirit stones in the original stone are special nonsense, and they are purely gambling on luck.

Shi Dongdong was about to agree, after all, it was good to be able to reduce the loss of two hundred spirit stones.

"Wait a minute!" Li Wuding said in a stop, "We'll have to take another look." ”

"Young man, this is really not your game, and stopping losses in time is also a way to bet on spirit stones!" He didn't want to see two students go bankrupt here.
