Today, when Ye Qiu was gambling with stones, he had already released quite a bit of Spiritual Energy, so if he wanted to continue playing, he would need to absorb more Spiritual Energy.
However, the radiation from the marble in this luxury villa hasn’t been absorbed yet, and Ye Qiu needed to give it a try. Otherwise, living here for a long period could be very harmful to the human body.
Ye Qiu returned to his room to continue his cultivation.
By the next morning, Ye Qiu woke up feeling that he had absorbed quite a lot of Spiritual Energy, so he started absorbing the radiation from the marble in his room.
During the absorption process, it was inevitable to consu so Spiritual Energy.
Yesterday, he realized he didn’t have any reaction to the radiation at all, so he was attempting absorption for the second ti.
This radiation is invisible, colorless, and tasteless. At least, when things like thanol and other toxins have a taste, this radiation doesn’t. Only by capturing the radiation point can it possibly be absorbed.
After trying for about half an hour, he still didn’t have any reaction. Nonetheless, Ye Qiu could clearly feel the intensity of the radiation. It really could make soone feel dizzy and nauseous over ti, but keeping a distance would prevent any issue.
Could his absorption really be useless?
If that were the case, Ye Qiu might have to give up and have Yang Guang replace all the marble.
After all, such highly radioactive marble is usually used in places with fewer people, like dams.
Ye Qiu could only freshen up, leave the room, and plan to have breakfast before continuing with stone gambling.
However, yesterday he was playing the highest level of stone gambling,
All-around stone gambling is the most challenging thod. The gambler needs extrely sharp eyesight and experience to proceed. It is a double-edged sword, winning could make one rich overnight, but losing might lead to bankruptcy.
Because the whole stone is covered in a weathered crust, only strong flashlight beams can illuminate the surface to observe patterns and judge the internal structure. There are too many uncertainties with this thod, and the risk is extrely high, not recomnded for novices.
Ye Qiu felt these were akin to waste stones, with little return for him.
Moreover, there is half stone gambling, compared to all-around gambling, half stone gambling involves the crust being rubbed open for a small observation window, called a ’window’, allowing internal structure inspection. So, the odds of winning are slightly higher than all-around gambling, but even novices could be fooled.
And the last one, open material. The risk level of all-around and half stone gambling is heart-pounding, but open material gambling has relatively lower stakes. Open material is already split into halves, exposing the jade flesh. With strong flashlight beams and experience, the internal quality can be judged. This open material gambling is also called ’door opening’, and has the lowest risk, one doesn’t lose much, and more often than not, prices rise.
Ye Qiu thought about trying half stone gambling today, which is window opening, believing that he might gain more.
After breakfast, when Yang Guang heard that Ye Qiu wanted to continue stone gambling, he only asked two bodyguards to accompany him.
Yang Guang was quite curious about how Ye Qiu managed to gamble with stones.
It was a good opportunity to send the two bodyguards to observe.
After leaving the luxury villa, Ye Qiu took a car to Jewelry City.
Upon arrival, Ye Qiu found Zhou Shengming, the jade artifact shop owner from yesterday, who thought Ye Qiu would continue with all-around gambling. Of course, after yesterday’s perfect streak, Zhou Shengming was amazed.
"Mr. Ye, do you plan on continuing with all-around stone gambling today?"
"No, I want to play with windows."
Obviously, with window opening, it’s known the original jadeite stone contains jadeite, but exactly how much and what kind of quality is inside remains elusive.
It’s hard to say.
Now, the most likely case of deception involves window opening, aid at fooling outsiders.
Zhou Shengming didn’t expect Ye Qiu would want to play this. The challenge seed low, but actually wasn’t.
Ye Qiu simply didn’t want to consu too much Spiritual Energy, yet the returns were minimal.
Led by Zhou Shengming, the three arrived at a jade artifact shop. Upon hearing Ye Qiu wanted to play window opening stone gambling, the shop owner escorted them into a dimly lit large interior room.
The room was dark, filled entirely with these window-opened jadeite stones.
Using flashlights or phone lights, you could see these jadeite stones emitting a verdant glow.
Generally, people gamble using strong light or flashlights, but Ye Qiu didn’t feel such tools were necessary, even though the shopkeeper had taken out flashlights for Ye Qiu and the others.
"Turn on the lights," Ye Qiu said straightforwardly.
"Sir, won’t you be using the flashlight?"
"No, I don’t require it, I rely on intuition."
No need?
This young gambler left the shopkeeper bewildered.
Once the lights were turned on and the outside windows opened, sunlight streaming in along with indoor lighting brightened the room significantly.
Ye Qiu observed various window-opened jadeite stones on display, in varying sizes.
But the prices varied significantly.
"This one is ten million; it’s clearly a water jadeite, but we can’t guarantee the exact size inside." The jade artifact shop owner illuminated a clearly vast green surface, indicating significant jade content in this stone.
When Ye Qiu touched the jadeite stone, he strongly felt its remarkable response, indicating it was no ordinary stone.
"Ten million? How about a little less!" Ye Qiu proposed.
"Sir, then how much are you suggesting?"
"Five million."
Generally, the prices offered by rchants are slashed by half. Besides, importing from Myanmar costs re tens of thousands or a few hundred thousand, so even at five million, there’s considerable profit.
They didn’t expect an imdiate cut to five million.
After contemplating, the person agreed, "Alright."
He was aware of import prices and origin.
When Ye Qiu asked for this stone and continued selecting, Zhou Shengming was more shocked, feeling five million was overpriced, perhaps two million was reasonable.
Nonetheless, being another jade artifact shop owner, it was tough to remark. Otherwise, offending this shopkeeper was likely.
In the room, Ye Qiu kept selecting stones. So looked promising, but Ye Qiu knew they contained nothing or rely ordinary jade, even suspecting several as counterfeits.
From selecting throughout the large room, Ye Qiu picked roughly twenty stones, totaling one hundred eighty million.
One hundred eighty million!
Not only was Zhou Shengming amazed, but the jade artifact shop owner was astounded by this wealthy young man.
