C56 Who Is the Chosen One
C56 Who Is the Chosen One
Zhou Tianxing was accompanying Bai Kai as they wandered around the hall. He spoke a lot of beautiful words, but most of them were flattery. Bai Kai enjoyed himself greatly, especially the things he had done in the past.
"Director Zhou, let's not talk about the past anymore. Today, I have a feeling that there will be even more precious treasures appearing in this stone gambling event. I just don't know who will be the person chosen by the heavens!" Bai Kai said with a smile, his hands behind his back, his hair and beard completely white.
"This old fellow sure has a lot of nonsense to say!"
Zhou Tian Xing secretly cursed in his heart. Naturally, he wouldn't say it out loud. After all, it was useless now. With a smile, he said, "This rare treasure must have been born from Old Bai's hands. Who else has the ability to do so?"
"Director Zhou, you're too kind. This old man will definitely help Director Zhou win this bet and properly punish that arrogant junior. Heh heh …"
A sinister light flashed past Bai Kai's eyes as his countenance darkened. Thinking back to what Chen Long had said, his heart was filled with rage. He was determined to make Chen Long pay.
Zhou Tian Xing naturally noticed Bai Kai's expression and revealed a profound smile. He said, "Rest assured, Old Bai, if you help me win the bet this time, I'll definitely teach that little tramp Chen Long a lesson. I'll let him know that Old Bai's prestige isn't something he can afford to offend!"
"Then I'll be troubling Director Zhou!"
An old fox like Bai Kai naturally understood what Zhou Tian Xing meant. Otherwise, wouldn't all these years have been wasted?
"Director Zhou, please!"
"Old Bai, please enter first!"
After a moment of modesty, the two decided to open the door first. Zhou Tian Xing followed behind with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes. 'I told you to leave first, then you should leave first. Where did you put your father's face?' You old bastard, it's best if nothing goes wrong.
In another corner of the hall, Chen Long and Ren Qianqian were walking together. However, the two of them did not communicate at all. Ren Qianqian's face showed a hint of anxiety. She wanted to say something many times but was hesitant to do so.
"Chen Long, can you really win?" Ren Qianqian could no longer hold it in and asked.
Chen Long played with the ore in his hand. Without raising his head, he did not answer Ren Qianqian's question. Instead, he asked casually, "How about winning? So what if I can't win? "
Looking at Chen Long's calm expression, an unnamed resentment appeared in Ren Qianqian's heart. "It's good if you can win, but if you can't, then the Aquamarine Gem that you just unraveled will belong to Zhou Tianxing!"
"Oh!"
Chen Long responded with a faint sound, but he still kept feeling around in the ore in front of him, as if he was looking for something.
Seeing this, Ren Qianqian could no longer hold it in and said angrily, "Chen Long, what exactly do you want? "If you lose, let's not even talk about the 'Circulatory Cycle Revolution'. Even if it's' Bai Kai ', this old fellow is the most narrow-minded. There's nothing in the entire stone gambling circle he doesn't know, and yet you still go and provoke him!"
Chen Long's hand stopped, and he slowly raised his head, a light flashing past his eyes, then stared straight into Ren Qianqian's eyes and continued: "Besides, even if I win, will they let me go? Forget about the land that Zhou Tian Xing gave me, even that old fogey Bai Kai would come and cause trouble for me because of his damaged prestige! "
"Sister Qianqian, you've been in this circle longer than me, do you still not understand the path here?"
"That's what I said, but …"
Ren Qianqian stared at Chen Long's inky black eyes. She felt as though her soul was about to sink in. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"If people don't offend me, then I won't offend them. If they offend me, then I will definitely offend them. This is my principle!"
After saying that, Chen Long turned his head and asked the boss while holding the fist-sized ore in his hand: "Boss, how much is this ore?"
"One hundred thousand!"
"Alright, I'll take it!"
He handed over the bank card in his hand. This time, he did not cause any trouble and successfully completed the transaction.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Ren Qianqian, who was standing to the side, stopped the boss from swiping her card, and snatched the membership card over.
Seeing Ren Qianqian's actions, Chen Long couldn't help but be taken aback. He asked, "Sister Qianqian, this …"
"Chen Long, although it's hard to win against them, you can't just give up on yourself like that. Although I'm not an expert in studying ores, I still have good eyes. How could fist-sized ores be sold?" Ren Qianqian looked at Chen Long and said with an expression of disappointment.
"Besides, even if we lose because our ores are not as precious as them, it would not be shameful for us to lose. After all, Bai Kai is an old talent, the precondition is that we can find a ore that can be sold!"
Hearing this, Chen Long finally understood the meaning behind Ren Qianqian's words. He couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "Sister Qianqian, do you mean that this piece of ore definitely won't be able to produce jade?"
"Of course, this is one hundred percent impossible!"
Ren Qianqian said in all seriousness. She wasn't wrong, such a small piece of ore, just by its size alone, would have a much lower chance of being dropped.
However, Chen Long shook his head and firmly said, "Wrong, there is a jade in here!"
"Haha, I'm going to die from laughter. He actually said that there are jade stones in this trash. I'm really going to die from laughter!"
It turned out that Zhou Tian Xing, Bai Kai, and the rest of their party had followed after them at some unknown time. Hearing Chen Long's words, they burst out in mockery.
"What did you say?"
Glancing at Bai Kai and Zhou Tianxing, who were obviously here to cause trouble, Chen Long spoke with an ice-cold expression.
"Hmph, a little kid with a yellow mouth dares to say that there must be jade inside. How ridiculous! This old man is going to die from laughter!"
He looked at the ore in Chen Long's hand and said, "This ore is dull and has a rough surface that is filled with gravel. As he rubs at it, there will be sand and stones falling. It is clear that there is no jade in here!"
"Old Bai, why do you mention such perverse people?"
Zhou Tian Xing stood beside Bai Kai with a smile on his face as he said disdainfully, "If I didn't say so, even if such a person were to pick a piece of donkey dung, he would still be treated as a treasure!"
"Haha, that's true! "However, seeing that he is still young and ignorant, I could not help but remind him. Otherwise, it would really be boring to win if it was too simple, no?"
Bai Kai looked complacently at Chen Long. He stroked his beard and laughed heartily. He put on an expression as though he wasn't going to argue with a small character like Chen Long. This also attracted the praise of the surrounding people.
"Old mister Bai is really magnanimous!"
"Brat, why aren't you thanking Old Bai for his kindness?"
"If it wasn't for Old Bai, you would definitely have lost. To think that you wouldn't even say a word of thanks. Are you even cultured?"
"..."
Hearing the criticism from the crowd, a cold sneer appeared on Chen Long's face. "It's none of your business whether or not there's any jade in there. I'll be happy to choose this piece of ore and mind my own business!"
"This kid can't be taught!"
Bai Kai was overjoyed at Chen Long's determination, but he still put on a grimace. After observing for a while, he pointed to a half-human size ore and said: "Director Zhou, since that's the case, I'll choose this piece of ore for you. What do you think?"
"I naturally have no objections to Old Bai's perception of treasures!"
He wasn't a newbie at gambling, so he could naturally tell that this ore was extraordinary. Despite the fact that it was priced at five million, he still bought it with a wave of his hand.
In any case, no matter how he chose it, he would definitely sell it. In his opinion, it was impossible for Chen Long's small piece to drop anything, which meant that he would ultimately obtain the navy-blue gem in Chen Long's hand. That gem was worth tens of millions of gold coins, after all, it was not a loss at all!
A smile hung at the corners of Zhou Tian Xing's lips, as if he had already won. He then asked proudly, "Since we've already chosen the ores, can we officially begin?!"
"Sure!"
Chen Long shrugged his shoulders with a nonchalant expression, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.
At this moment, in contrast to Chen Long's calmness, Ren Qianqian, who was standing to the side, had an anxious expression on her face as she advised, "Chen Long, think about it again. Don't act willfully!"
"Sister Qianqian, don't worry. I won't say that I'm sure of my victory. I have a seventy to eighty percent chance of winning!" Chen Long smiled as he tried to comfort Ren Qianqian.
"Tsk, 70% to 80%, why didn't you say it was 100%?"
Bai Kai could not help but let out a mocking laugh at Chen Long's words. He mocked, "Do you really think that you are a chosen one from heaven? You have truly caused others to laugh at you in such a manner!"
"How do you know that I'm not from the heaven? If one is old and doesn't die, he or she is a thief.
Chen Long could not help but shake his head, showing a look of regret. Facing Bai Kai's taunts, he retaliated forcefully.
"You!"
Bai Kai was instantly angered to the point that his eyes were popping out of their sockets. He stuttered in speechlessness. This old fellow was still powerless against Chen Long's barrage of words!
"Hmph, you only know how to be stubborn. Just wait and see. Once the result comes out, you won't even be able to cry!"
Song Chengren, who was standing to the side, also spoke up to attack Chen Long. After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Tian Xing with a fawning expression, showing the face of a lackey as he said, "Cousin, let's go and open the stone!"
"That's right, it doesn't matter what you say, but rather, it's a question of whether or not you are a chosen one of heaven's chosen. You will know once you explain it!"
With these words, Zhou Tian Xing turned around and left, leading a group of people to the stonecutter in the middle of the hall.
Just as Chen Long turned around, Ren Qianqian, who was behind him, suddenly grabbed his hand. Her eyes were filled with worry as she said, "Chen Long …"
