This was supposed to be the final election of the stone master exchange meeting, and it was supposed to be a game based on the stone skills, but when Lao Ding saw the black stone, everything changed.

Conifer pine flowers!

See coniferous pine flowers again!

In the first round of the finals, there were coniferous pine flowers in the first round of the finals, and Lao Ding had clearly felt the malice against himself on this stone.

As the old saying goes, "one specialty is multi-skilled", and the top stone tasters also have a similar pursuit of skills, that is, on the basis of being familiar with various types of rough stones, they have a deeper understanding of a certain type of rough stones.

Unfortunately, the old Dingtou "specialized" is coniferous pine flowers!

To say that the coniferous pine flower is actually not a high-quality pine flower, in the cognition of the vast majority of stone masters, this kind of pine flower is at most a kind of medium-to-low external manifestation in all kinds of pine flowers. And conifer pine flowers are not rare, as long as you have the heart, take a good turn in the market, and dare not say more, ten or eight pieces must be found.

As the name suggests, conifer pine flower is said to be a kind of pine flower form similar to needle-shaped leaves, light color, or yellow or green or white, overall, the original stone texture represented by this pine flower is not excellent, the vast majority of the rough stone quality with coniferous pine flowers can be described as mediocre, even if there is an occasional superlative, it is difficult to find its inevitable connection with the pine flower form, and other high-quality rough stones that appear by chance on the market, this situation is usually classified into the category of small probability events.

But for a stone taster of Lao Dingtou's level, this seemingly unreasonable small probability event is likely to be their only hope of turning around in this market that has been squeezed to no chance.

The reason is very simple, the stone market in the West Wilderness is quite "mature". Each piece of rough stone that was laid out was carefully inspected by the resident level master, and passed through the hands of countless middlemen in circulation. When these stones are put on the shelves after many twists and turns, there is only one result: you get what you pay for!

If you're lucky enough to buy a stone or two, you may be profitable, but when you buy enough stones, making money is bound to become an unattainable expectation. Even if your stone skills can reach the pinnacle of the world, it is already the best result if you can ensure that you don't lose or make money like Lao Dingtou.

There are so many places in the station, and the vast majority of stone masters will never have the opportunity to become a resident in their lives, and they have no other way to make a living, so if they want to make money, they can only hope to pick up leaks in the market, but the residents will not give them the opportunity to pick up leaks.

It's a dead knot!

Of course, there are good stones, but it is possible to solve the stones of five million spirit stones for at least five hundred thousand, and the probability of it solving five million spirit stones will definitely not exceed one in ten.

Again, this is a mature market with perfect barriers, and the opportunity for salted fish to turn over has long been choked.

Of course, the Great Dao is fifty, the Tianyan is forty-nine, and the escaped one is hiding there, waiting for you to catch it.

The same is true for the gambling stone market, where there is a very simple and crude way to turn over, that is, to bet on small probability events.

For example, if you want to make five million, you can buy two dollars a piece of junk rough stones.

Because you simply don't have the financial resources to buy 2.5 million stones, you never have to worry about the cost outweighing the benefit, and you don't even need to think about the odds of winning 1 in 10 million...... That's as it should be.

It's ridiculous, but there's only one gap left in this market for salted fish.

The same is true for a stone master of the level of Lao Dingtou, even if he has become the leader among salted fish, the leader is still salted fish.

Therefore, when the skill of the stone master reaches a certain level, he will invariably start to study some garbage rough stones, hoping to seize the opportunity to turn over from those low-cost stones.

It's normal to study conifer pine flowers like Lao Dingtou, and there are also many people who study the wonders of straight ringworm, moldy pine flowers, and horsetails.

Lao Dingtou didn't talk to Qian Yang about this, that's because Qian Yang's skills have not yet reached the level of studying garbage rough stones, and last time Qian Yang asked Lao Dingtou why he chose the coniferous pine flower that didn't look very good, he was also casually dismissed.

Lao Dingtou didn't tell Qian Yang about this, but he told Lao Meng about this many years ago, because with Lao Meng's strength, it was indeed time to study these.

At that time, Lao Ding even shared his research results with Lao Meng for many years, which subtle characteristics of coniferous pine flowers mean what kind of internal effects he once took the trouble to tell in detail, and he also said what the ideal coniferous pine flowers should look like, and what kind of coniferous pine flowers grow into are both hidden and have the possibility of high bets.

Lao Meng listened to Lao Ding's words and wrote them down, but he didn't study them much. Because Lao Meng is somewhat paranoid, he wants to become a resident at all, leaving no way back for himself at all, he doesn't think that picking up leaks and getting rich is the right way, what he wants is to become a resident stone master and look down on thousands of salted fish!

Lao Ding has studied conifer pine flowers all his life, and he already knows what he wants the needles to grow into, but after so many years, he has never seen a single piece on the market that can make him excited.

The needle that Lao Ding Tou dreamed of appeared in front of him when he shouldn't have appeared, just in the final of the Stone Master Exchange Meeting twenty years ago!

It was an incomparably pure black black sand, looking at its color, nine out of ten may be from Duobao Laochang, the mellow background color, coupled with the delicate green needles of a leaf, as well as the peculiar direction of the needles and the perfect leaf spacing, it is amazingly consistent with the picture that appeared in his dreams countless times.

A lifetime of obsession just appeared in front of him, can Lao Ding give up?

Lao Ding can't put it down!

After studying coniferous all his life, he finally came across a perfect stone, and if he dared to choose other stones, then no matter what the result was, his own life would have become a joke.

The result has long been doomed, and Lao Ding Tou knows very well that from the moment that needle appeared in front of his eyes, he had no choice, no matter right or wrong, no need to measure, no matter success or failure.

This is his life!

Twenty years later, Lao Dingtou once again stood in the finals, and when he saw another perfect needle that could not be found in front of him, all he had left on his face was a wry smile.

Is it a coincidence?

Lao Ding had already passed the stupid and naïve age, and naturally knew that the appearance of such stones twice in a row must have nothing to do with coincidence, and he suddenly thought of what Lao Meng said just now: The qualification of the resident stone master is never obtained only by relying on stone skills!

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there are dark boxes. Where is the opportunity for such a person to ascend to the sky in one step, where is it that an old bad man like him who has no heels can easily get?

Lao Ding unconsciously raised his eyes to look at Xiao Deng sitting on the rostrum, and Xiao Deng avoided his eyes in a little panic.

Yes, Xiao Deng was able to sit in that position because he later worshiped a good teacher, that is, President Lu, who had his eyes closed in the middle of the rostrum.

What about this time? Lao Ding turned his head to look at Lao Meng, who was there, and then looked at the stupid big man with a sluggish face. Who is this game for?

Looking at Lao Meng's posture, he should have a bottom in his heart, is it arranged for him? But where are his heels?

Lao Ding sighed secretly, and turned his attention back to the stone in front of him, let everyone obey the fate of heaven! Fortunately, since it is called a dark box, it will be unsightly after all, and there will always be a side of constraints. As long as the strength is outstanding, plus some luck, there may not be no chance of reversal.

The rules are here, as long as you don't make the wrong choice, how many rounds can you manipulate in the dark box? Even if you have the upper hand, how can you not leave anyone else with a way to live?

Not to mention......

Lao Ding smiled bitterly, raised his hand and gently stroked the black skin stone, and his eyes shot a fine light, reflecting all kinds of details on the original stone into his heart.

This is an incomparably pure black black sand, looking at its color, nine out of ten may be from the old field of Duobao, the mellow background color, coupled with the delicate green needles of a leaf, as well as the peculiar direction of the needles and the perfect leaf spacing, is amazingly consistent with the picture that appeared in his dreams countless times.

The above sentence is copied and pasted, and it is pasted from the judgment of Lao Ding Tou twenty years ago.

Because it's exactly the same.

It's exactly the same as it was twenty years ago, it's exactly the same as what he expected in his dream, and it's exactly the same as the details he told Lao Meng!

There are no two complete stones in the world, and this stone is actually quite different from the one twenty years ago, and even the size is not the same, but the meaning of the pine flower form is the same, and it is the best representative in the cognition of Lao Dingtou.

There is no need to look closely, since this stone is placed here, it must be the same no matter how you look at it, it is the best coniferous pine flower that meets all his imagination.

Lao Meng on the side came over at this time, and saw that the surface meant that he wanted to study this black stone, but in fact, his eyes were always staring at Lao Ding's head, and the meaning in his eyes was not difficult to understand: "Do you dare to choose again?"

The old man shook the sleeves of his robe and didn't bother to pay attention to him, and ran to study the other two stones.

There is not much to say about that piece of white sand skin, a typical high-quality rough stone, a light blue python almost around the original stone, and then look at the background color and texture of the stone skin, Lao Ding Tou can easily determine that the value of this rough stone should be about 500,000 spirit stones.

You can't usually see a stone market like this, because there is nothing to gamble on, the value is there, and anyone in the top ten who wants to come to the exchange meeting can see this stone from the inside out at a glance except for his unlucky apprentice.

However, the other piece of yellow skin stone was very interesting, and that Master Wu also took the transparent bead in his hand and kept rotating around the yellow skin stone, with a rare hesitation on his face.
