Three of them entered the runoff, the fourth collapsed, and the fifth went crazy.

The spectators were thrilled by this tragic competition, but for the three who passed the selection, the situation may not be as sinister as everyone thought.

Take Lao Ding and Lao Meng as examples, from the beginning of the first round of the competition to the present, they have not experienced the tension and entanglement of other participants at all. Those seemingly complex exam questions are as simple and clear as "one plus one" for them, and it is strange that they can't get a full score.

It is said that gambling on stones is an activity with high uncertainty, even if Lao Ding and Lao Meng are gods and gods, and you ask them to go to the market to buy stones, they will definitely not be able to see every piece accurately, otherwise these two will not be embarrassed.

The crux of the matter is that the stones used in the exam were not really picked up from the streets, and each of the rough stones in them was carefully considered by the Stone Masters Association.

It is no exaggeration to say that each stone that appears as an exam question has been certified by several resident level stone tasters many times, and each stone has a specific test point in it, and the judgment of the value of these stones has been almost 100% sure of the answer before the exam, but any rough stones with a slight doubt will definitely not appear in the previous rounds of exams.

Therefore, for Lao Ding and Lao Meng, this level of stone masters, judging this kind of undoubted stone really has no technical content at all, they all have a complete heritage, but also have a broad horizon, compared to the more than 100 resident stone masters in the Western Wilderness, their skills are only high, not low, they are just an opportunity.

Those rough stones that can be 100% certain in the field are naturally as boring as children playing at home in the eyes of these two people, but the skills of the fourth and fifth stone masters should not be much different from most of the stone masters in the field.

As for the other guy who entered the top three, it was a little incomprehensible, this stupid big man was obviously not from the mixed stone master circle, and before the start of this public market, no one in Yifang City had even seen him.

Recently, everyone knows that this Aixian Master Wu buys stones all over the world, and when he saw the beautiful female boss who was about to charter someone's field, he lost tens of millions of spirit stones in just a few days, but the harvest was very small, not to mention the loss of money, and there was no heart left.

As the most shining leader in Yifang City, before today, who would have thought that the top three of the Stone Master Exchange Conference would have a place for him?

And this Master Wu's style in the competition is completely incomprehensible, even people like Lao Ding and Lao Meng have to be cautious when looking at stones, but this master, he has always held a transparent bead in his hand, grabbed the stone, and put the bead forward to take a photo twice, and then went to fill in the answer, but his face has always been a look of "I'm bored".

is such a person, except for something wrong with the red stone in the first round, he didn't answer a single question wrong, and easily entered the finals, which really made this room full of stone masters cry out and can't understand.

Lao Ding also moved his gaze to Master Wu's face, then to the bead in his hand, and finally shook his head imperceptibly, squinting at Lao Meng on the side.

"Déjà vu!" Lao Ding suddenly spoke.

Old Meng laughed: "It does seem familiar." ”

Lao Ding's expression was a little solemn: "Twenty years ago, you and I were also in the finals, and there was another person, and in the end, neither of you and I did as we wished, I don't know what will happen this time?"

Lao Meng was stunned for a moment, and replied suspiciously: "That's what you're talking about? I thought you said that the guy who chose the wrong stone and got himself into a demon-ridden scene seems familiar!"

"You ......" Lao Ding's head trembled, and there was a rare hint of murder in his eyes.

Lao Meng's words seem to be inadvertent, but in fact, they are heart-wrenching, because it was no one else who chose the wrong stone twenty years ago and encountered the demons in his heart, but an old man who thinks very highly of himself!

The corners of Lao Meng's mouth showed a hint of a smile: "I'm a layman, I don't have your courage, last time you dared to bet on that very risky coniferous pine flower, I don't know if you encounter the same stone again this time, do you dare to bet again?"

Lao Ding sneered, and did not hesitate to open his mouth to fight back: "There is no loss in betting, and those who dare not gamble will never see the scenery of the upper layer, and can only gradually degenerate into mediocrity, and your realm is destined to end here." ”

Lao Meng smiled: "I remember what you said." ”

Lao Ding turned his head and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, but suddenly remembered something, and asked endlessly: "This time, you also arranged a stone for me, a blind man?"

The flesh on Lao Meng's cheek lifted up slightly, and he leaned into Lao Ding's ear and lowered his voice: "I don't care if you are really blind or falsely blind, that stone was already prepared the moment I heard that you returned to Yifang City." This time, do you dare to gamble again?"

Lao Ding's body stiffened, he really didn't expect that Lao Meng would unabashedly admit that he specially prepared a stone for him, and at the same time, it was equivalent to admitting that the stone twenty years ago was also prepared by him, which is simply ...... It's so rampant!

"Are you so afraid of me?" the anger in Lao Ding's chest erupted, and he was forced to press it in his chest.

"Don't overestimate yourself!" Lao Meng shook his head and chuckled: "The qualification of the resident stone master has never been obtained only by relying on the skill of stone refining, otherwise you and I would still have to wait until such an age? It's a pity that I realized this too late, and I wasted so many years for no reason, but fortunately, I barely had time." And you, however, are doomed to hopelessness!"

As soon as Lao Meng's words came out, Lao Dingtou's face really changed. In the assessment of the resident stone master in front of everyone, if it does not rely on pure strength, then is this world too cruel?

What's even more cruel is that Lao Dingtou, who has thought that his skills are greater than the sky all his life, knew in an instant that what Lao Meng said was the truth. Or, he may have known this fact for a long time, but he just didn't want to admit it. Now that Lao Meng has made all this clear, the feeling of collapsing faith almost crushed Lao Ding's heart.

"Give it up! The name of the residency this time is definitely mine!" Lao Meng's eyes showed a complicated look: "For the sake of many years of love, I can take care of the rest of your life, and I will try my best to find an antique for you to break through, if your old bones are tough enough, maybe you can wait for that day." When you have no worries, it is not impossible for me to help you find a chance to stay on the spot. ”

Lao Ding was angry with him: "Don't daydream, you win first and talk about it this time!"

Lao Meng sighed: "Lao Ding, when it comes to this, I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, right?

"Hehe!" Lao Ding suddenly felt that these two words could just express his current mood. By the way, where did you learn these two words?

Lao Ding turned his head in the direction of Qian Yang, and the stupid boy who didn't know what was going on at all looked at him, and quickly put on an exaggerated expression, raising his arm to cheer him on.

"Fool!" Lao Ding scolded with a smile, but suddenly felt a warm current in his heart.

Compared with the "old brother" who said that he would take care of the rest of his life, Lao Dingtou felt that this bastard boy who was addicted to him was more reassuring to him.

"The finals begin!" Chairman Lu announced with a flat face.

Lao Ding smiled freely, stood back in his position, stretched out his hands, and watched two faint clouds of water vapor float in his hands.

Taking advantage of the damp mist, Lao Ding slowly brushed the top of his head with his hand, meticulously groomed his white hair, and then rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he opened them, his eyes were already as bright as electricity. Taking a deep breath, Lao Ding straightened his spine, his back was straight, and he didn't see a trace of old age, then looked back and gave Lao Meng a bright smile, and then stretched out his tail finger and shook it gently, his lips moved: "A person like you will never be productive!"

Lao Meng subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a trace of horror flashed in his heart for no reason: such an old Ding - he has never seen it!

The stones used in the final were quickly lifted up by the man in black, and they were three huge rough stones nearly human high, with familiar colors: one black, one yellow, and one white!

The white one looks like a good stone at a glance, and the black and yellow ones are like flowers in the fog.

Standard for the finals!

Compared with the exam of ten into three, the final is the moment when the ability of the stone master is truly tested.

In the previous exams, in the end, the test was all about the basics, and the answers to the questions had already been determined when the questions were issued, and the examiners had determined the correct answers before the stones were unraveled, and there was almost no chance of accidents, because those stones were specially selected to have no doubts.

And the final is different.

As is customary, one of the three stones in the final round will be relatively easy to determine, while the remaining two will be "difficult" stones that even the masters in the Stone Master Guild are not sure about.

These two stones are extremely gambling, there may be unexpected gains, of course, it is more likely that there is no harvest, as for how to choose, that is the key to distinguishing the top stone master from the mediocre stone master.

The three stones of "one easy and two difficult" are the rules of the finals that have been set since the day of the exchange meeting of stone masters. Over the years, there have been many people who have become resident stone masters by choosing simple stones, and it is not rare to bet on small probability events to win.

The two ways to win seem inconsequential, but the rules are set so that they have their own deep meaning, but unfortunately it is difficult to say, perhaps only the top stone master can solve the three flavors, absolutely not very people think "bet or not" so simple, but look at the result is often a simple "bet or not"!

Last time, Lao Ding gambled, made a mistake, and lost!

Lao Meng didn't gamble, and he also lost!

Xiao Deng bet, bet right, win!

It's so simple, but it's not that simple.
