Reborn Stone Seeker
Chapter 33
It had been almost an hour since Lin Luoran came out slowly, and Shao Yihuai wondered if he was fainted inside, and if he didn't come out, he would go in and look for it.
Shao Yihuai was leaning against the bedside with a pair of glasses reading a book, seeing Lin Luoran coming out, he took off his glasses: "Go to sleep."
Lin Luoran silently climbed onto the bed. Fortunately, there were two quilts, one for him and Shao Yihuai.Carefully moved his body to the side of the bed, trying to stay away from Shao Yi's arms.
Shao Yihuai turned off the lamp beside the bed, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.
Lin Luoran tried hard to calm down his nervous mood, silently counting sheep in his heart, not sure if he was stimulated too much today, but he fell asleep really quickly.
Hearing his shallow breathing, Shao Yihuai suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Lin Luoran's face that rolled over to face him at some point, for a long time, slowly stretched out his hand, and stopped on his cheek and behind the ear For a few seconds, in the darkness, his expression seemed a little puzzled and self-deprecating, and then he quietly took his hand back.
When Lin Luoran woke up the next day, Shao Yihuai was no longer on the bed.Looking at the time, it was past nine o'clock, secretly despising that he slept like a pig, and quickly got up to wash.
Shao Yihuai and Shao Quan were both having breakfast, and they seemed to be talking about something. Dabao was already full and was studying the table legs under the table.Shao Quan smiled ripplingly.
"Uncle Quan, Yihuai, good morning." Lin Luoran pulled up a chair and sat down.The hotel's breakfast looks rich and looks better than a robot.But the taste is still far from the previous life.
"The competition starts today, how is Xiao Luo preparing?" Shao Quan smiled very kindly.Both of them are sleeping in the same bed, will the day of giving birth to a young master be far behind?
"It shouldn't be a big problem..." Lin Luoran smiled, not daring to say anything. He also heard that many stone hunters were unlucky and guessed wrong on the first stone.
The competition was held in a corner of the venue of the Stone Hunting Conference, and it was not particularly eye-catching. After all, the main focus was trading and auctions.Even so, by the time the three of them arrived, quite a few people had already gathered.
Both Wu Xinyi and Qin Lei were there, followed by several middle-aged men, all of whom were stone hunters in the store.
Seeing him, Qin Lei quickly waved with a smile: "Xiao Lin, come here!"
Lin Luoran hurried over, Shao Yihuai and Shao Quan couldn't go there, so they found a seat under the ring.
"Hehe, I guess you don't know the people in our shop very well, let me introduce you." Qin Lei said with a smile, "Wei Qiong, Liang Min and Wu Yiming."
Among the three, only Liang Min was a woman, and she was the woman who had ridiculed him at Wu Xinyi's place last time.Now seeing Lin Luoran's face is naturally very ugly, he nodded coldly and did not speak.
The attitudes of the other two couldn't be any better, they were lukewarm and forced smiles.There was jealousy and distrust in Lin Luoran's eyes that couldn't be hidden.It seemed that the three of them had already huddled together and made up their minds to reject Lin Luoran.
Wu Xinyi felt a headache when she saw this, and she could only pretend not to see it at this juncture, and patted Lin Luoran on the shoulder: "Xiao Lin, you are the last to play, and the main show will be handed over to you."
"Boss, no matter how powerful Mr. Lin is, no matter how high the selection rate is, he doesn't have as much experience as other people. Isn't that good?" Liang Min couldn't help raising an objection.In her opinion, Lin Luoran can't hold such an important position at all,
"This is the result of my discussion with Yifeng. If you have any questions, go to Shao Yihuai." Wu Xinyi glanced at her and said calmly.
Liang Min was blocked back, a little embarrassed, and looked at Lin Luoran even more unkindly.
The strange stones used in the group arena have not been tested, so it is completely impossible to know in advance which stones are good stones.
What's unpleasant is that although the strange stone shops in Xincheng have not blossomed everywhere, as the previous champions, they must accept the challenge of every stone hunter in every shop.
If a stone hunter representative of a store loses, other stone hunters still have the opportunity to challenge on stage.In the end, the total score of the two sides was calculated. If the score of the defending team was lower, they would also have to step down.
The only thing that stood out was probably that the referee presiding over the competition was a high-level figure from the Stone Seekers Association.It was the smiling old man at the opening ceremony yesterday.
Lin Luoran had a good impression of this kind-looking old man. He glanced curiously at the old man who was sitting on a chair in the arena and drinking tea slowly. Coincidentally, he was discovered by the person concerned, and his eyes met. He scratched his head very much. He smiled at the old man apologetically, and sat down beside Shao Yihuai in a well-behaved manner, not daring to glance randomly.
Dabao was uncomfortable being hugged by Shao Yi, and he struggled to get into Lin Luoran's arms next to him. Shao Yihuai saw that the little guy didn't appreciate him at all, and went to Lin Luoran with all his heart, and felt a little uncomfortable, and his mischievous attitude came up. He pinched Dabao's tail with two fingers expressively, making it unable to move forward no matter how he fluttered.
Lin Luoran looked down at Dabao struggling to beg Shao Yihuai and couldn't help laughing, and also maliciously refused to help him, and Dabao screamed in a hurry.
Because of this, neither of them saw the shocked and probing look of the old man on the stage.
It didn't take long for the game time to come. The old man introduced himself, his name was Jin Qishan.After briefly explaining the rules of the competition, the group arena officially began.
"Everyone is limited to half an hour..." Lin Luoran held Dabao's meaty paw thoughtfully and said, "I'm afraid it will take several days."
"It probably won't be your turn today." Shao Yihuai looked at the stone hunter on the stage who was holding a strange stone and studied it carefully. Today, he mainly let Lin Luoran get acquainted with it, so as not to be confused sometimes.
The stone hunters in their shop are all excellent and lucky.At the end of the day, except for the fact that Liang Min, who was leading the battle, was picked off, the situation was fine.
However, this progress is really unflattering. Almost every stone hunter guessed within half an hour. After one day, they only won a shop.Lin Luoran simply took out his optical brain to play games in the afternoon, and was completely uninterested in the games on stage.
The matches on the second and third days passed so uneventfully. Qin Lei played in front of Lin Luoran, and successfully defended the ring for two days by himself, which made many stone hunters admire him.
On the sixth day, the entire competition also reached a fever pitch, and there were still two Kistler shops that did not play, including the shop owned by He Ruyan.
When Lin Luoran came to the stage, there was an uproar, and some people recognized that she was Yifeng's proprietress, so there was a lot of discussion.
The other party seemed to be tired of the wheel-to-wheel battle, and the first one sent was the backbone—thanks to the fact that Qin Lei had been giving him information on these two companies for the past two days.
Lin Luoran didn't talk nonsense, and raised her hand to the referee: "I'm ready."
The other party also nodded slightly, and immediately the staff brought up the stone he had chosen, and put it at the table where Lin Luoran was sitting.
Lin Luoran put on her gloves and picked up the stone to look at it carefully.
Qin Lei's face under the stage changed when he saw the stone. Is the other party trying to show off?That kind of stone is hard to guess!
It's no wonder that Qin Lei made a fuss. The other party took out a modeling stone, but the surface of the stone contained texture.If the shape is too peculiar, if it doesn't match the texture, that strange stone will definitely not be a good stone. This means that Lin Luoran has to judge the shape and texture at the same time within half an hour.
"If you can't figure it out, just admit defeat." The stone hunter on the opposite side didn't look too old, with his legs crossed and his eyes slanted, he didn't pay attention to Lin Luoran at all.The high-pitched tone also makes people feel uncomfortable.
Lin Luoran lowered her head without even looking at him, and continued to play with the stone in her hand.
The stone hadn't stopped him yet.
The texture on it looks really abstract, a few lines outline a pattern, it's hard to figure out what it is without relying on the brain.In addition, the shape of this stone is rather strange, it is the shape of mountains, so the ups and downs seem complicated.
Lin Luoran touched his chin and thought quietly, this stone is undoubtedly a good stone, the texture on it just formed a picture of a lady flying into the sky, the shape of a blue-black mountain and a few vivid pictures of flying into the sky, compared with the above Judging from the experience of picking textured stones for the first time, this stone should be regarded as a first-class stone.
"A good stone of the third grade and first class." Lin Luoran inspected the stone carefully, and after confirming that there were no other flaws, he put down the stone and said calmly.
It's only been 10 minutes now, and Lin Luoran's speed is staggering.The stone hunter on the opposite side sat upright and looked over with a half-smile:
"you sure?"
Lin Luoran didn't want to talk to such people at all, and nodded to the referee to confirm the answer.
The challenger has already made an evaluation of the strange stone he picked in advance, and handed over the result of the guess to the referee in advance.If the final result shows that both parties have the same answer, then it can only be regarded as a tie.Looking at the man's appearance, you can tell that his answer is absolutely different from Lin Luoran's, and he looks very confident in himself.Both Shao Quan and Qin Lei in the audience showed worried expressions.
After Lin Luoran confirmed the answer, the staff directly carried the stone down to test, and the discussions near the ring gradually subsided, and people were looking forward to the results of the test.
After a while, the staff member hurried up and whispered something in the ear of the old referee.The old man's smile that had been hanging on his face froze for a moment, and he glanced at Lin Luoran in surprise, his eyes were indescribably complicated.
"The result is---a third-level first-class stone. This young man won." The old man quickly put on a smile again, and congratulated Lin Luoran with a smile.
On the other hand, the confident man stared blankly at Jin Qishan, as if he couldn't believe what he said. What he thought he was sure of was completely changed now!There was a "buzz" in the head, and the heart became cold and cold.
Shao Yihuai was leaning against the bedside with a pair of glasses reading a book, seeing Lin Luoran coming out, he took off his glasses: "Go to sleep."
Lin Luoran silently climbed onto the bed. Fortunately, there were two quilts, one for him and Shao Yihuai.Carefully moved his body to the side of the bed, trying to stay away from Shao Yi's arms.
