Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 621: Chapter 256: A 300 Million Bet That All Your Remaining Stones Are Blanks (Part 2)

Jiang Anbang: "Those two from the Ning Family brought Yang Chen? The same Yang Chen who got the Immortal Blood at Mingcui Square?"

Wang Anshuang: "Yes! That’s him! Those two from the Ning Family are up to no good, they brought him here to wipe us out. Since there are more guests, I didn’t say anything and just let them in to play."

Jiang Anbang: "Alright, I know. I’m heading over now, you keep an eye on them. No matter which stone they choose, first check with the equipment if there’s anything inside. If there’s something, stop them from cutting it open, make sure to delay until I arrive."

Wang Anshuang: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up, Wang Anshuang quickly brought over a bottle of red wine, pretending to be courteous to the two young masters of the Ning Family, but actually looking for an excuse to stay nearby and see which stone Yang Chen would choose.

The model of Treasure Hunting Pavilion is quite similar to Mingcui Square.

The first floor is the poor area, where the raw stones are small and of poor quality, with almost nothing coming out of them. Even if occasionally a blind cat stumbles upon a dead mouse and gets some jadeite, the quality is very poor and cannot be sold for much.

The second floor is the rich area, where the wealthy play, and each stone, regardless of size, has a much higher chance of containing high-quality jadeite than those on the first floor.

However, overall, the odds of getting green are still very low, almost one in a thousand.

Treasure Hunting Pavilion has been open for ten years, mimicking Mingcui Square, claiming that all stones are directly transported from the mines without any equipment screening, ensuring that these stones certainly contain something, and it all depends on the customers’ vision and luck.

Yang Chen quickly reviewed all the stones in the first-floor area. Among roughly 200 stones of various sizes, only two contained jadeite.

Each time a customer selects a stone, the staff immediately replaces it with another, keeping the total number of stones unchanged.

That’s why most people who gamble on stones basically lose; picking two from 200 stones, the odds are too low.

Although Yang Chen saw that only two stones had jadeite, it didn’t mean both could be chosen.

Because one of the stones had jadeite so small that even if extracted, it wouldn’t cover the cost.

This meant that there was only one stone worth choosing.

Yang Chen pointed to that stone and said, "Please bring that stone out for us."

The staff quickly stepped forward, took the stone Yang Chen pointed at, and handed it to him in a cart.

Ning Shaoqing quickly picked up the stone and examined it carefully but found nothing special.

"Brother Yang, what’s special about this stone? Why did you choose it?" Ning Shaoqing asked.

Yang Chen pointed at the pattern on it and said, "Look closely at this vein pattern, this is a sign that there’s something inside. If there was nothing inside, such a pattern wouldn’t form."

Ning Shaoqing looked closely but saw no pattern.

Then, he rubbed his eyes and looked again, still seeing nothing.

"Brother Yang, I don’t see any pattern?" Ning Shaoqing said with confusion.

Yang Chen: "That’s because your eyesight isn’t good enough; you need a magnifying glass to see it. Manager Wang, we’re buying this stone. Have the stone cutter ready, we’ll open it later."

The young master specifically ordered that before he arrives, Yang Chen and the others must not cut any stone.

So, Wang Anshuang quickly replied, "The stone cutter is busy right now, no time to serve everyone. How about you continue selecting stones, and later we’ll cut them all together. I’ll go now to have the stone cutter prepare, so once you’re done choosing, we can go directly over to see the results. How does that sound, esteemed guests?"

Yang Chen and the others didn’t think much of it and nodded in agreement.

"Let’s check out the second floor," Yang Chen suggested.

Ning Shaoqing nodded, and several people went to the second floor together.

Upon entering the elevator, Ning Shaoqing quickly asked, "Brother Yang, are all the stones on the first floor empty?"

Yang Chen: "There’s still one with jadeite, but it’s too small to break even."

Ning Shaolong: "President Yang, you’re amazing, I didn’t expect you to have this kind of skill."

Yang Chen: "Haha... I just dabble during my free time and eventually picked up the hobby."

Ning Shaoqing: "Brother Yang is so skilled just by dabbling around. I studied seriously and practiced with real money, yet lost a lot of money and didn’t learn anything. Brother Yang, you must teach me when you have time. If I could learn even one percent of your skills, I’d surely dominate the stone gambling world."

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and they walked out.

Because items are more expensive on the second floor, it’s only suitable for wealthy players, so there are fewer players.

However, because of this, all the players on the second floor recognized the two young masters of the Ning Family.

Everyone approached to greet Ning Shaoqing and Ning Shaolong, while Yang Chen took Cheng Junjun to look at the stones.

"Ah Chen, the stones on this floor are much bigger than those downstairs," Cheng Junjun said.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, "Not just bigger, but much more expensive. Look at the prices on the tags."

Cheng Junjun bent down to look at the tag and was instantly surprised, "So expensive, this one is 20 million. Who would buy such an expensive stone? If no jadeite comes out, you’d lose so much you’d feel like bleeding."

Yang Chen: "But if jadeite does come out, you could become rich overnight. The people playing this are gamblers, no different from those in casinos. They all think they’re the luckiest, and unless they run out of money, they won’t leave."
