Chapter 723: A Trip to the Gambling Stone Field
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen came to the gambling stone market in Jincheng alone.
Located in the heart of the city, this market covers a vast area and is bustling with people.
As soon as he walked into the market, Jiang Chen felt a wave of heat and noise rushing to his face, but this did not affect his mood, but made him more excited and expectant.
The market is dotted with stalls of all sizes, each crowded with people, some picking rough stones, some haggling, and some cutting calcite.
The air was filled with the smell of dust and stone dust, mixed with excited shouts and sighs of disappointment.
All this constitutes the unique atmosphere of the gambling stone market.
Although Jiang Chen didn't play gambling stones, his keen observation and insight allowed him to quickly have a general understanding of the situation here.
He noticed that the quality of rough stones on the market varied and the prices varied widely.
The buyers are all sorts of people, some are gorgeously dressed and look rich, while others are dressed plainly and even look a little shabby.
But regardless of their status, at the moment they are immersed in this exciting game of gambling stones, looking forward to being able to get rich overnight.
Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to choose the rough stone, but first wandered around the market and observed the surrounding situation.
From time to time, he stopped to talk to some of the gambling guests to understand their state of mind and state.
Although these conversations were brief, Jiang Chen gained a lot.
"This big brother, what do you think of this rough stone?" Jiang Chen asked, pointing to a rough stone with black skin and a strange shape.
"This rough stone looks pretty good, but no one can say exactly what's inside."
The eldest brother shook his head and said, "This is the case with gambling stones, nine out of ten bets are lost, and you have to rely on luck to win." ”
"Do you think anyone here can make a fortune gambling stones?" Jiang Chen asked again.
"Of course! But those are very few people. Most people come here to try their luck and find excitement. ”
The eldest brother smiled and said, "Brother, if you want to play two, you can also try your luck, but don't get addicted!" ”
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded in thanks, and then continued to walk forward. He had many conversations like this, and each time he learned something new from them. Gradually, he gained a deeper understanding and awareness of the market.
However, at this time, a group of strong men in black suits and sunglasses suddenly came over and surrounded Jiang Chen.
A big man at the head said coldly: "Boy, you are very happy to inquire about things here!" Do you know whose territory this is? Don't you want to live if you dare to go wild here? ”
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, and then understood.
It turned out that these people were the people behind the gambling stone market, and they mistakenly thought that they were here to smash the market or listen to trade secrets.
He couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Guys, I think you're mistaken." Jiang Chen said in a calm tone, "I just came here to learn about the situation in the gambling stone market, and I have no other intentions. ”
"Just here to find out?" The big man at the head sneered, his eyes revealing a bit of fierceness, "We won't easily believe your nonsense!" Tell me, who the hell are you? What is the purpose of coming here? ”
Jiang Chen's eyebrows raised slightly, and he didn't show any panicked look because of the threat of the big man.
On the contrary, a cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through these people completely.
"I have no ill intentions, and I don't want to conflict with you." Jiang Chen's voice suddenly became cold, "But if you continue to make trouble, then don't blame me for being rude." ”
As he spoke, a powerful momentum suddenly erupted from his body, as if a tiger was descending from the mountain, making the people around him feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Under the pressure of this momentum, those gangsters who originally wanted to be arrogant and domineering all closed their mouths one by one and did not dare to speak again.
The big man led by Jiang Chen was also shocked by Jiang Chen's momentum, he swallowed his saliva, and said stubbornly: "You...... Who are you? We're the snakes here, don't make trouble! ”
Jiang Chen glanced at him coldly, and then slowly spit out a few words: "Jiang Chen." ”
"Jiang Chen? Which Jiang Chen? Dahan was stunned, obviously he had never heard of this name.
"You don't need to know much." Jiang Chen's tone revealed an unquestionable domineering, "I just need you to understand that this is not a place for you to go wild. Get out of the way now or bear the consequences! ”
As he spoke, he stepped out suddenly, and the momentum on his body skyrocketed again.
The thugs were shocked by his momentum, and they all turned pale with fright, and hurriedly got out of the way.
The big man led by him also knew that he and the others were not Jiang Chen's opponents, and if he continued to entangle, he would only ask for trouble.
He glared at Jiang Chen fiercely, and then left with his subordinates.
Jiang Chen looked at their backs and sneered, then continued his journey to gamble on stones.
He knew that these people were just minor characters, and they weren't worth his attention.
His goal now is to find the best time to enter the gambling stone industry and grasp the lifeblood of the entire industry!
Jiang Chen continued to wander around the gambling stone market, his gaze scanning the stalls from time to time, looking for possible opportunities.
However, most of the rough stones looked unremarkable, which made him not much interested.
Just as he was about to leave, the bustling scene in front of a stall suddenly caught his attention.
There stood a young woman, who looked no more than in her early twenties, but who had a distinctive air in her gestures.
Her eyes are firm and confident, as if she has a deep understanding and grasp of gambling stones.
In front of her stall, there was a crowd of people watching the excitement, and from time to time there were bursts of exclamation and admiration.
Jiang Chen walked over curiously and squeezed into the crowd to watch.
I saw that the young woman was holding a piece of rough stone that was not good-looking, ready to perform the stone calcing.
Her movements are skilful and smooth, and she is clearly an experienced master of stone gambling.
"Will this rough stone make something good?" Someone next to him couldn't help but ask.
"It's hard to say, there's nothing special about the skin of this rough stone, it's hard to see what's inside." Someone shook his head and said.
However, the young woman, as if she had a firm mind, smiled slightly, and then began to work on the calcing.
As the grinding wheel rotates rapidly, the outer skin of the rough is peeled away layer by layer, revealing the flesh inside.
"It's green! Out of the green! Someone saw a touch of green in the rough and exclaimed.
A smug smile appeared on the young woman's face, and she continued to carefully dissolve the stone, and soon, a piece of emerald green jade was completely presented in front of everyone.
