Chapter 988: Rock Gambling!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Andraiss words were infuriating. It was as though he knew that he would definitely win. That was why he told w.a.n.g Teng not to bother choosing a rock. He wanted him to admit defeat and lose money.

w.a.n.g Teng, you should just concede. Otherwise, you will have to lose money if you lose your bet, which will be worse. Cao Guan echoed and mocked w.a.n.g Teng.

Master Chen Shu is a high-cla.s.s mining engineer. Your mining skills cant be compared to his. Youre done for!

A reserved but proud look appeared on the high-cla.s.s mining engineers face. Young man, its okay for youngsters like you to suffer a little loss and pay tuition fees. But remember, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Youre on your own.

Why do you seem to think that you will win? An Lan couldnt take it anymore and asked.

!!

Its obvious. Look at this ore. Its more than ten thousand kilograms. Master Chen Shu said that the contents are amazing and it will definitely be extremely valuable when its opened up. Do you think you can find another one like that? Cao Guan scoffed.

An Lan frowned and looked at the high-cla.s.s mining engineer. He then turned to w.a.n.g Teng.

He didnt think that this high-cla.s.s mining engineer was a fake. The ores at Ju Cai Rock Gamble were all high-cla.s.s goods. A huge piece like that would be valuable no matter what it was. Furthermore, the Parkers wouldnt have just found any ordinary mining engineer. He was definitely skilled.

w.a.n.g Teng scanned the huge ore and was surprised.

The high-cla.s.s mining engineer was indeed skilled. He managed to pick such a large and valuable piece of ore.

Most people wouldnt have dared to pick such a huge ore.

However, w.a.n.g Teng smiled and chuckled. Since when did a high-cla.s.s mining engineer dare to call himself a master?

A hint of embarra.s.sment flashed past Chen Shus eyes.

A high-cla.s.s mining engineer couldnt be called a master. However, it was an informal t.i.tle for him. His subordinates would call him master, which was meant to be a salutation. As long as it wasnt said in a formal setting, it wasnt a problem.

Now that w.a.n.g Teng had said it out loud, he had to eat his own words.

Since youre not convinced, pick an ore. Mining Engineer Chen Shu sneered.

He didnt dwell on the matter of the salutation. If it blew up, it wouldnt be good for him. He would only bring shame to himself.

w.a.n.g Teng smiled indifferently, not bothering about it either. He then glanced around and casually pointed at a piece of ore that weighed around a thousand kilograms.

This one.

An Lan, pay for that!

An Lan looked at w.a.n.g Teng with resentment.

So casual.

Are you serious?

Pfft. Hahaha. Is your brain damaged? You chose a random piece that weighs a thousand kilograms to compete with Young Master Andrais? Cao Guan laughed.

Young man, youre making a fool of yourself. Do you think that if you choose a random piece, you will have an excuse to say that you didnt choose one carefully? Mining Engineer Chen Shu was caught between laughter and tears and shook his head.

Cao Jiaojiao glanced at w.a.n.g Teng suspiciously. Would a sly little fox like him admit defeat so easily?

UncleIm calling you unclelets be serious. Their ore weighs ten thousand kilograms. If we lose this, we wont even be left with our pants, An Lan was anxious and said to w.a.n.g Teng.

Do you mechas still wear pants? w.a.n.g Teng looked at him with a weird expression.

I An Lan wanted to vomit blood. Why wouldnt we wear pants? Youre racist. I wear pants Wait. Why are we talking about pants? Im talking to you about losing money.

Dont worry. You arent acting like a heaven-stage martial warrior.

So what if Im a heaven-stage martial warrior? My money is still money. An Lan retorted.

Alright. We wont lose this. If you believe me, buy that piece of ore. You will be leaving with loaded pockets today. w.a.n.g Teng was confident. Right, if you win money, youll have to split it with me. Im not helping you for fun. My services are expensive.

Are you really that confident? An Lan was doubtful.

Believe it or not, its up to you, w.a.n.g Teng answered casually.

Alright, Ill trust you this once. If we win, well split it equally. No, youll take seventy percent. An Lan gritted his teeth.

Very good, youre smart. w.a.n.g Teng nodded with satisfaction.

Have you discussed it already? Hurry up if youre buying it. Andrais frowned and urged impatiently.

An Lan didnt speak and went forward to buy the ore that w.a.n.g Teng had selected.

w.a.n.g Teng, are you really sure? Did you partner up with that Andrais to scam this mecha heaven-stage martial warrior? Round Balls weird voice could be heard in w.a.n.g Tengs mind. I heard that the mechas were simplistic. Now I finally saw it live.

Am I that kind of person? w.a.n.g Teng rolled his eyes. No matter what, I wouldnt work together with the Parkers. They are our opponents.

Cough, Im just saying. Round Ball also knew that w.a.n.g Teng would never be in cahoots with the other party.

However, his way of selecting the ore was a bit unusual. He just bought it with one glance, like he was selecting cabbages at a market.

An Lan walked over with the ore that he just bought. Although he was wearing a mask, w.a.n.g Teng could see the emotion in his eyes.

I spent three hundred million. My hearts bleeding, An Lan patted his chest and said.

Its only three hundred million. We spent a full billion on our ore. Poor people are just poor people. Cao Guan didnt miss any opportunity to ridicule the duo. He was just looking for trouble.

An Lan glared at him. Right now, he hated anyone who called him a poor man. If they werent in the Ju Cai Rock Gamble den, he would have smacked Cao Guan to death.

A celestial-stage martial warrior dared to be brazen in front of a heaven-stage martial warrior.

Tsk, he has a death wis.h.!.+

w.a.n.g Teng shook his head. He felt that An Lan was a bit messed up for a heaven-stage martial warrior. It might be because his brain was wired differently from ordinary people. If it was another heaven-stage martial warrior, they would have flown off the handle already.

Since you have chosen your ore, lets start opening it up, Andrais said calmly.

w.a.n.g Teng had no objections. He wouldnt stop them when they were in a hurry to give him money.

They then went to the dissection area and asked two masters to help open up the ores.

They are rock gambling!

Interesting, lets go and watch.

Looks like they are playing big. Look at that piece of ore. It looks like its worth a billion.

Speaking of which, the other one only weighs a ton. Do you even need to compare them?

Who knows? Theyre throwing a sprat to catch a mackerel. No one knows for sure.

Many people noticed what was happening over there and gathered around curiously. They started another round of discussion.

Even heaven-stage martial warriors walked over and took interest.

The universe-stage martial warriors didnt move and were choosing ores by themselves. However, their attention would sometimes be attracted to them.

No one dared to bother the universe-stage martial warriors. Other people would avoid them when they were picking their ores. Hence, the areas around them were the quietest.

Over at w.a.n.g Tengs side, things had already begun. The two masters started at the same time.

Gentlemen, the ores that both of you have chosen are energy stone ores. If there are energy stones within, Force would flow out and get wasted if it is damaged. That is why we have to remove the layers one by one to avoid damage. It may take a long time. Please wait patiently.

A female staff of the gambling den explained and ordered someone to arrange tables and chairs for the guests. They were then served cakes and tea. It was a thoughtful service.

The masters were indeed veteran craftsmen. Instead of machines, they sc.r.a.ped off the layers of the ores one by one with a strange knife.

After a while, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Theres a glow.

So fast.

What a pure Force. This energy stone is incredible. Its at least a fifth or sixth-level energy stone!

Mining Engineer Chen Shu raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After the rock layer was peeled off, a fiery red brilliance dazzled the spectators. This was a fire energy stone!

A glow meant that it was an energy stone.

Although he knew that the ore would be profitable, he didnt know that the energy stone would appear so quickly. The master had only peeled a few layers and it had already started glowing. This meant that the energy stone within would be frighteningly huge.

Andrais was happy. A billion was not a small sum for him. It was a good thing that he would make a lot of money.

You did a good job, Andrais complimented Chen Shu.

Young Master, youre too kind!

Chen Shu was a mining engineer hired by the Parkers family, which was why he was very polite to Andrais.

Hahaha. Did you see that? We have already found an energy stone in our ore, but you guys dont even have a sign of it. And you still want to gamble with us. Cao Guan laughed and pointed at w.a.n.g Tengs ore, mocking him.

Five layers of rock had already been sc.r.a.ped off from w.a.n.g Tengs ore, but there were still no glows.

w.a.n.g Teng ignored Cao Guan and drank his tea indifferently. He didnt take him seriously.

An Lan was a bit nervous. He relaxed quite a bit when he looked at w.a.n.g Teng and saw his casual demeanor.

Hmph, hes still pretending. Cao Guan snorted coldly.

This is irrelevant. The energy stone is just at the surface of your piece of ore. Your ore is so huge; do you think it is possible for the entire ore to be an energy stone? w.a.n.g Teng said indifferently.

Andrais frowned and looked at Chen Shu.

Hes not wrong. Before it is exposed completely, no one will know what the situation is inside the ore. However, we have a high probability of making money. It just depends on how much we will make, Chen Shu replied.

Even so, well definitely make more money than you, Cao Guan said.

Well see. w.a.n.g Teng wasnt in a hurry.

His state of mind made Andrais and the others uncomfortable. They didnt have any sense of accomplishment. They were at a loss for what to do.

Cao Jiaojiao glanced at him in surprise. Just that character of his was remarkable.

Its glowing, that one is glowing too! someone suddenly shouted.
