âMining engineer!â Wang Teng glanced at Hengzang Mo in surprise. He didnât 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 Wang Tengâs eyes. Even though it hadnât 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 Wang Teng and casually said, âBrother Han, how about your choice?â
âNo hurry, let me take another look,â Wang Teng shook his head, smiling wryly. Hengzang Mo seemed eager to win against him.
âTake your time then,â Hengzang Mo said with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
âWang Teng, heâs looking down on you. Show him!â Round Ball exclaimed.
Wang Teng ignored it. He spoke casually, âBrother Hengzang, youâll have to wait a bit longer. Iâm not as fast as you.â
Hengzang Mo:â¦
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?
âBrother Han, take your time. Patience is crucial in ore gambling,â Shouzang Caiyun couldnât help but remind.
Wang 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 werenât slow either. Seeing how quickly Hengzang Mo had chosen his ore, they had some competitive thoughts. Therefore, they didnât take much time to make their selections.
Yizang Xinnuo chose an ore worth 360 million. It wasnât as expensive as Hengzang Mo, but it wasnât 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.
Wang 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 competition between them, especially in Wang Tengâs presence. This feeling was particularly strong as if they had to prove whose charm was greater.
It wasnât that they both liked Wang Teng. Rather, each wanted to prove her superiority over the other.
Wang 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?
âDo you have any understanding of ore gambling?â Wang Teng asked in a low voice.
âA bit,â Yizang Xinnuo replied without changing her expression.
Wang Teng looked at Shouzang Caiyun again.
âIâve played a few times. I had good luck. Iâve even mined some valuable ores before,â Shouzang Caiyun said.
Wang 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!
âHow about you both consider choosing another ore?â Wang Teng hesitated for a moment and suggested.
Since he wanted to build a good relationship and find a breakthrough point from these two women, Wang Teng naturally wanted to give them a bit of advice. He didnât want them to lose too embarrassingly.
âChoose another one?â Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun looked at him in surprise and asked, âWhy?â
âCough, these two ores might not be very good,â Wang Teng cleared his throat and said.
âBrother Han, you havenât chosen your ore, yet youâre over there advising others. Thatâs not very appropriate,â Guizang Yan suddenly interjected.
âThatâs right. Youâd better choose your ore quickly. Later, all the high-quality ores will be bought by others, and youâll end up losing miserably. 1 can see that there arenât many high-quality ores left around here,â Hengzang Mo said.
âThe so-called high-quality ores you mentioned, are they referring to the most expensive ones?â Wang Teng asked.
âExactly!â Hengzang Mo said proudly. âThe 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 Hotelâs gambling reputation wouldnât be so great.â âIs that so?â Wang Teng smiled noncommittally.
If it were that simple, the fun of gambling on ores wouldnât exist.
âBrother Han, what he said is correct. The ores here are selected by prospectors before being offered for gambling. Although we canât guarantee a 100% gain, most of the time, the valuable materials extracted from these ores are among the highest in value,â Yizang Xinnuo explained.
âIâm just reminding you. Whether to switch or not is up to you,â Wang 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 surpass 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 didnât 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 wouldnât have put them up for others to gamble on.
Wang 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..
