Star Wars

"Hey, it's broken."

As soon as he got closer, Xing Yue heard the sighs of regret from the onlookers.

Some people saw Qian Yuan and the others coming, and they all gave way. The young owner of Qiancai Crystal Quarry, they know each other often, so they must give some face.

In the middle of the encirclement, a young man in a light gray shirt was watching Qingfu cut stones. There was no mark between his eyebrows, and he was a strange person.After Qian Yuan came in, the two looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that they knew each other.

Fine stone chips and old stones kept falling, and there was already a thick layer on the ground.After a short time, after a piece of stone skin fell off, a touch of red was revealed. After Qingfu wiped it with a water cloth, a red crystal was embedded in it.

Some veterans at the scene recognized it early, and sighed, "It's a second-grade ruby. Unless a higher-grade spar can be cut out, even if the remaining rough stones are second-grade ruby, it won't be worth the price of 50." Stone price."

Father Qing took out a special inspection instrument and scanned the red crystal back and forth several times. The grade displayed by the instrument was indeed only two grades as the person said just now.There was only about one third of the original stone left. According to the rules, Father Qing raised his head and asked the young man, "Excuse me, sir, do you want to continue cutting it?"

"How many catties are there?" the young man asked with a frown.

"There are eight catties and one tael left." Father Qing gave him an accurate figure.

The young man thought for a while, and then uttered a sentence, "Turn, the base price is [-] federal currency."

"What does this mean?" Xing Yue asked suspiciously.

"This is called turning stone. After the stone gambler draws out a corner of the spar, no matter whether it rises or falls, he transfers it to other people to continue gambling. The highest bidder gets it. Like this, two-thirds of it is cut before it becomes popular. You can only bid according to the size of the remaining rough stone." Qian Yuan explained.

"That's all that's left. It's still a second-grade red crystal. What can you cut out?" Someone shook his head and dispersed.

After looking around, no one bid. The young man was a little frustrated. Xing Yue wanted to give it a try, but the 70 federal currency was still a bit expensive. The original owner and the deposit from the previous game totaled more than [-] yuan. It's a bit much at first, but he hasn't started working to make money yet, so he needs to save money on everything.

"Do you want to make a move?" Qian Yuan saw that he was about to move.

"One hundred thousand is too expensive, it would be nice if it could be cheaper." Xing Yue still hesitated.

Qian Yuan took a closer look at the rough stone and came to a conclusion, "There is a [-]% probability, it's worth a gamble, I can say tens of thousands, but, Xiaoyue, are you sure you want it?"

Xing Yue nodded. Seeing this, Qian Yuan walked around the rough stone a few times, "It's really expensive to sell the remaining rough stone for [-]."

"Qian Yuan, are you interested in this rough stone? But according to the rules, people who gamble in the stone field cannot participate in turning the stone. I will sell it to you in private." The young man said with a smile.

"It's not me, it's my younger brother." Qian Yuan shook his head with a smile, and pulled Xing Yue over, "He wants to try the water."

Qing's father sneaked into Xing Yue's ear and advised, "Xiao Yue, you should not buy it." He has been dissecting stones in this place for many years, and he has seen a lot. This rough stone probably won't cut anything. I don't want him to go into this muddy water.

"That's right, young man, [-] federal coins, you have a better chance of winning if you pick a new one here," said an old man next to him.

"It's okay, Uncle Qing. Brother Yuan said it's okay. I still have a lot of savings, and I still have a second-grade red crystal." Xing Yue was still optimistic.

"Red crystals are of no use to you, and you can buy second-grade crystals for only [-] federal coins per catty." Seeing that someone agreed with him, Father Qing persuaded him even more vigorously.

At the same time, Qian Yuan was negotiating with the young man, "This rough stone is a second-grade ruby. It is expected that the price will be reduced, more than [-]."

"The price of rough stones in the high-end stone gambling area is [-] a catty, but I only cost [-] for [-] catties and a tael, which is already very fair." The young man replied with reason.

"The rough stones of the second-level spar can only be calculated according to the price of the intermediate-level gambling area. Ten thousand federal currency is one catty, and eight catty is eighty thousand. Give me some face." Qian Yuan didn't chop too hard, after all, the two are old classmates.

The young man thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. Except for Xing Yue and Qian Yuan, no one else came to express his intention to take over the original stone for such a long time.They are all old foxes, they won't do business at a loss, this rough stone really doesn't have much investment value, and the price of [-] federal coins is within his acceptable range.

On the other hand, Father Qing also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade them. Xing Yue has no blood relationship with them. He spends his own money and others can't make decisions for him. Besides, children have to suffer a little to grow up, but he doesn't care. Knowing that Xing Yue's 17-year-old body is filled with a 23-year-old soul, he has experienced no less than him.

"Uncle Qing, I'm counting on you." Xing Yue put the rough stone on the table again, and asked Father Qing to continue interpreting the stone.

Beside, a few onlookers lowered their voices of discussion, and the young man was among them, waiting for the final result of diagnosing the stone.

Afterwards, Father Qing didn't use the stone saw any more, and he had to be very careful when unscrambling small crystals. He took out a leather bag from the box and opened it. Inside were dozens of knives and brushes of different shapes.He took out one of the scimitars with his right hand, the blade was on the round side, he quickly rose and fell at the place where the crystal stone and the stone skin meet, leaving behind countless shadows of the knife with a cold light, and kept sweeping away the stone chips with his left hand The small brush moves neatly and gracefully, and hasn't hurt the spar at all.

Someone exclaimed, "Master Qing is indeed the best calculus in Qiancai Crystal Quarry. It's like dancing with your fingers."

"That's right, Master Qing said that he has worked in the Qiancai Crystal Quarry for more than [-] years. Qian Shao's owner, I heard that there are many other spar yards who want to poach him. You have to watch people closely. Otherwise, we won't be able to see such a beautiful stone-relief performance when we come next time." A middle-aged man said half-jokingly.

"You don't need to worry about it. Lao Qing and the owner of the Qiancai Crystal Quarry are good friends, and the Qiancai Crystal Quarry still has his shares." This is a person who knows a little bit about the inside story.

"Not just Uncle Qing, the Qiancai Crystal Quarry will not treat any employee badly." Qian Yuan said politely.

"Look, the spar is out."

The people around quickly fell silent, staring at Father Qing's movements with fiery eyes.

He stretched out his finger and pressed the edge a few times, and then with a sudden force, the spar fell off.

The piece of amethyst that was dug out was only the size of a palm, and the bright and intense crimson was like flowing blood. The limestone on the surface was wiped off and gave off a crystal clear light, but this charming light did not confuse the people around.

"It's just such a small piece, how heavy can it be?" Someone shook his head in disappointment.

Father Qing put the spar on a plate and weighed it, "It's exactly two catties."

After Xing Yue took it, he couldn't put it down and played with it. The spar was more beautiful than the diamonds he had seen in his previous life.

Next, Father Qing measured the size of the stone, took out a long and thin knife from the leather bag, and turned it quickly. The sound of "swish, swish" stone cutting continued, and the powder continued to fall. After a while, the stone was only half the size of a football, and nothing appeared.

At this time, the onlookers shook their heads one after another, feeling worthless for Xing Yue, and there was only so much left, so there was no possibility of a comeback.

The most nervous person was Xing Yue. Although he just bought the stone with the mentality of giving it a try, he was disappointed that nothing was cut out. Only Qian Yuan stood there calmly.

Qing's father also sighed silently in his heart. If he knew what he said just now, he would stop Xing Yue, and the [-] federal currency was just in vain.Even though he was thinking this way, he carefully changed a small knife and slowly peeled off the remaining stone skin. Suddenly, a bright red color caught everyone's eyes.

"No way, something has been cut out!" Someone exclaimed, what kind of luck is it, a spar can be cut from such a small stone, but the grade and size of the spar must be checked again. To determine whether to turn over.

Xing Yue also stepped forward to observe, and dug out a fist-sized red spar from the crushed stones. It shone brightly and was brighter than the earphone red spar from before.

"Congratulations, it's a fourth-grade ruby."

"Young man, anyway, you don't even need ruby ​​stones. If you want to sell them to me, I will offer 15 federal coins."

"You can just lie, Qian Shaodong's family is here, and this piece of fourth-grade red crystal is at least a catty, and I want to get it for 15."

"I was just joking."

Qing Mianmian opened her mouth slightly in surprise, she didn't expect his little friend to be so good, because of Qing's father, he also knew a little bit about betting stones, this is a big reversal.

After Qian Yuan explained to him beside him, Xing Yue understood how rare the fourth-grade amethyst was.The most common ones on the market are the first and second grade crystals, and they are also the cheapest, which can be afforded by ordinary well-off families.Level 25 spars will also be sold, but the role of spars above level [-] cannot be compensated by volume like level [-] and level [-]. The energy of level [-] is a step, and the price is also very expensive. They are all sold on the basis of two Yes, a piece as big as a fist in his hand can be sold for [-] federal coins.

No wonder when Lu's father gave him the five-level amethyst stone, he would show a painful expression as if he had gouged out his heart, but Xing Yue didn't think that Lu's father would spend a lot of money for him, most likely it was the Feng family given.

Qian Yuan looked at Xing Yue's dazed look and smiled, "How about it, you're scared. If you want to sell it, you can go to the opposite side of the spar field to have a look. There are shops that buy spar."

Xing Yue came back to his senses and shook his head, "I don't want to sell it yet, it would be nice to have it as a collectible."

The young man in gray also came to congratulate him, without any intention of forcing it.

Xing Yue's impression of this person is even higher. He is a person who can afford it and let it go.

"Unfortunately, I lost my sight." However, the young man was still a little annoyed, but even if he insisted on cutting it, he still couldn't get back the money.

"We didn't expect that we would be able to turn things around in the end." Qian Yuan spread his hands helplessly.

"Luck is also a kind of strength, and we are the most particular about this evil thing." An old man said, and others echoed.

"That's right, Xiaoyue, you are lucky, do you really not consider me as your teacher?" Qian Yuan looked at Xingyue with a smile.

Xing Yue hurriedly refused, betting on stones was too exciting, he was lucky enough to make money this time, but he remembered that the original price of this rough stone was 50 federal currency!

The young man in gray smiled and said, "Your brother was frightened. I heard that you have also been invited to the Stone Gambling Competition. See you then."

"It's not sure yet. The Star Pirates haven't left, so I don't know if we can catch up with the Stone Gambling Competition." Qian Yuan seemed a little worried.

The young man was also a little disappointed when he heard that, he is not from Dai Jiaxing, and he came to Dai Jiaxing to practice more in the stone gambling competition.But his luck was really not good, as soon as the front foot arrived, the star thief also arrived at the Fangping star field, and was trapped here.

There was no show to watch, and the crowd dispersed. This time Jieshi took a full hour, which delayed Qing's father's get off work time a lot. Qing Mianmian had already started to cry for hunger.

"The ones you ate in the morning are digested so quickly?" Xing Yue laughed.

Qing Mianmian snorted unconvinced, "Aren't you hungry?"

Qing's father was pleased to see Qing Mianmian and Xing Yue laughing and playing. He was very happy to see Qing Mianmian's lively appearance.When Qing Mianmian was a child, due to the negligence of him and his wife, he didn't even know that the child was being bullied at school, which caused him to be introverted now.These years, he only dated Qian Yuan and Peng Yexing, who were older than him, so when he learned that he was going to bring new friends home, he and his wife almost cried with joy.

The shift changer had already arrived, and he was also among the onlookers. After greeting him, they set off for the cafeteria.

Knowing that Xing Yue brought home-cooked meals, Qian Yuan immediately said that he wanted to taste it.

Qing Mianmian was in a hurry, he knew how delicious Xing Yue's cooking was, so he widened his eyes, "Eat less later, don't compete with me."

Qian Yuan laughed loudly and rubbed his head, "You have the strength to scare people, it seems that you are not too hungry. Hurry up, after dinner, I will take you to the elementary and intermediate gambling quarries. There are many people there, and it is more lively."
