Chapter 2243 One Heart? (1)

"Mining engineer!" w.a.n.g Teng glanced at Hengzang Mo in surprise. He didn't expect him to be a mining engineer.

Then, he used his Real Eye to look at the ore Hengzang Mo chose. He was even more astounded.

A dazzling earthy-yellow glow caught w.a.n.g Teng's eyes. Even though it hadn't been mined yet, he could already sense the rich Earth Force within.

It seemed that Hengzang Mo had some skill. The ore he chose contained an extremely rare precious material, undoubtedly raising the stakes.

Hengzang Mo glanced at w.a.n.g Teng and casually said, "Brother Han, how about your choice?"

"No hurry, let me take another look," w.a.n.g Teng shook his head, smiling wryly. Hengzang Mo seemed eager to win against him.

"Take your time then," Hengzang Mo said with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"w.a.n.g Teng, he's looking down on you. Show him!" Round Ball exclaimed.

w.a.n.g Teng ignored it. He spoke casually, "Brother Hengzang, you'll have to wait a bit longer. I'm not as fast as you."

Hengzang Mo:

Why does it feel a bit strange?

Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun both had peculiar expressions. They seemed to understand, yet not quite. What was going on?

"Brother Han, take your time. Patience is crucial in ore gambling," Shouzang Caiyun couldn't help but remind.

w.a.n.g Teng smiled and nodded, saying no more.

After some time, Yizang Xinnuo, Shouzang Caiyun, and the others finished choosing their ores.

Yunzang Xiao and Guizang Yan weren't slow either. Seeing how quickly Hengzang Mo had chosen his ore, they had some compet.i.tive thoughts. Therefore, they didn't take much time to make their selections.

Yizang Xinnuo chose an ore worth 360 million. It wasn't as expensive as Hengzang Mo, but it wasn't cheap either. It was considered one of the more expensive ores.

Shouzang Caiyun chose a 330 million one, which was about the same as Yizang Xinnuo. It looked like she wanted to compete with Yizang Xinnuo.

w.a.n.g Teng glanced at the two women with a mysterious expression in his eyes.

Though these two women appeared amicable on the surface, there was an undercurrent of compet.i.tion between them, especially in w.a.n.g Teng's presence. This feeling was particularly strong as if they had to prove whose charm was greater.

It wasn't that they both liked w.a.n.g Teng. Rather, each wanted to prove her superiority over the other.

w.a.n.g Teng shook his head, glanced at the ores chosen by the two women, raised an eyebrow, and wore a somewhat peculiar expression. Could these two girls be randomly picking ores?

"Do you have any understanding of ore gambling?" w.a.n.g Teng asked in a low voice.

"A bit," Yizang Xinnuo replied without changing her expression.

w.a.n.g Teng looked at Shouzang Caiyun again.

"I've played a few times. I had good luck. I've even mined some valuable ores before," Shouzang Caiyun said.

w.a.n.g Teng felt like facepalming. His intuition was correct. These two girls were complete novices, knowing nothing. Whether they would win or lose entirely depended on luck.

This time, they would lose!

Confirm!

"How about you both consider choosing another ore?" w.a.n.g Teng hesitated for a moment and suggested.

Since he wanted to build a good relations.h.i.+p and find a breakthrough point from these two women, w.a.n.g Teng naturally wanted to give them a bit of advice. He didn't want them to lose too embarra.s.singly.

"Choose another one?" Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why?"

"Cough, these two ores might not be very good," w.a.n.g Teng cleared his throat and said.

"Brother Han, you haven't chosen your ore, yet you're over there advising others. That's not very appropriate," Guizang Yan suddenly interjected.

"That's right. You'd better choose your ore quickly. Later, all the high-quality ores will be bought by others, and you'll end up losing miserably. I can see that there aren't many high-quality ores left around here," Hengzang Mo said.

"The so-called high-quality ores you mentioned, are they referring to the most expensive ones?" w.a.n.g Teng asked.

"Exactly!" Hengzang Mo said proudly. "The ores here are carefully selected by prospectors and priced accordingly. In other words, the higher the price of the ore, the higher its quality. This is a well-known fact and is almost foolproof. Otherwise, our Five Burials Hotel's gambling reputation wouldn't be so great."

"Is that so?" w.a.n.g Teng smiled noncommittally.

If it were that simple, the fun of gambling on ores wouldn't exist.

"Brother Han, what he said is correct. The ores here are selected by prospectors before being offered for gambling. Although we can't guarantee a 100% gain, most of the time, the valuable materials extracted from these ores are among the highest in value," Yizang Xinnuo explained.

"I'm just reminding you. Whether to switch or not is up to you," w.a.n.g Teng smiled faintly, said no more, and continued to choose his ore.

He had almost looked over all the ores and had naturally found several pieces with values that could surpa.s.s those chosen by Hengzang Mo and the others. However, in comparison, their prices were relatively high, so he wanted to take another look.

As he mentioned, high prices didn't guarantee the highest-value precious materials.

If it were that simple, those prospectors would have long sliced open these ores and extracted the precious materials inside.

They wouldn't have put them up for others to gamble on.

w.a.n.g Teng could even guarantee that if all these ores were sold, some people might win the gamble, but the sellers would definitely not incur losses.
