Free Web NovelA well-proportioned large hand placed a stack of blue chips on the Lucky Red.
The chips in the Gambling Stone Building had the same color scheme as leaf radiance, ranging from white to black, each representing a different amount of star coins.
White was 1,000 star coins, red 10,000, orange 100,000, blue 1,000,000...
This stack of chips, at a quick glance, exceeded 10 pieces, meaning it was over 10,000,000 star coins.
Mingxi looked at the owner of the large hand. Hmm, it was a handsome young man with long eyebrows reaching his temples, thin lips, and a straight nose.
The young man also looked up, and their eyes met.
He awkwardly forced a smile he thought was charmingly evil and wild, and said, "Junior, good luck."
Mingxi: "..."
This Senior, if he's naturally not good at smiling, he shouldn't smile.
In broad daylight, it makes one want to call the police.
"Bang!"
Following the handsome young man, another large hand pushed a pile of blue chips into the red empty space.
"Yan Xue Mei (Yan Schoolmate), whether Old Bing and I become impoverished overnight or rich overnight depends on you."
This Senior was far less good-looking than the long-browed awkward-smiling Senior, but his temperament was unique, casual and unrestrained, like an elusive mischievous wind.
Mingxi didn't know these two.
But others did.
"Isn't that Qian Bingning, second on the Immortal University Xingyao List, and Zhang Yike, sixth?"
"Why would they come? No, shouldn't they be on the second floor?"
So they were top talents from the Xingyao List.
Second and sixth place?
Unfortunately, neither of them had their pet beasts with them, so their strength could not be judged for now.
"Bang!"
Another stack of million-level chips landed on the long table.
A true charmingly evil and wild smile was on his lips, a single silver monocle on his right eye, tall and thin.
His hair was combed back, meticulously styled.
He was also wearing a silver-grey suit.
Like a pretty lawyer who had just returned victorious from court.
His long fingers spread on the table, slowly pushing the chips to the very center space marked with the character 'Destroy'.
"Yan Luoxi Junior, nice to meet you. You have to give me this face, right?"
The lawyer man's long finger pointed at the pile of chips in front of him, with an expression that implied: if you're sensible, you should know how to satisfy me. freёwebnovel.com
Mingxi looked baffled.
No, who are you?
Why should I give you face? And you're hinting that I should destroy everything myself? Why don't you stick a firecracker in your clothes?
"Big brother, who are you? Is your family's 'face' made from coarse flour ground from wheat grown in a stinking ditch, enough to make your throat sound like an appendix?"
She was puzzled, she questioned.
She said whatever she thought.
Everyone: "..."
Sister, you are truly brave, and is this the art of speaking of you Blue Star people?
It seems so high-end.
Zhang Yike laughed, the kind of laugh that came out loud, not giving the slightly distorted man any face at all. He said with a laugh, "Junior, this Appendix Brother, ah no, this Coarse Flour Brother is the famous Mielan Society leader, what was his name again, oh, Zhang Ben San Gouzi!"
"Zhang Yike!"
"Did you call your dad for something?"
Mingxi understood everything now.
This Appendix Brother, ah no, Coarse Flour Brother, was the current leader of the Mielan Society, Zhang Ben Sanlang, a senior in college, and also fifth on the Xingyao List.
Second, fifth, and sixth on the Xingyao List were all gathered at this Skill Stone table, was that reasonable?
Mingxi had reason to suspect she was being followed!
Well, quite a few people saw her leave today, plus she walked from the Yushou Center, so it was perfectly normal for someone to notice her whereabouts.
"Whoosh!"
While Mingxi was thinking,
The colorful chips instantly filled all fifteen spaces.
Except for the numbers 1-4, the other eleven spaces were almost completely stacked.
As for why no one chose 1-4, even if an Emperor-level pet beast was involved, it would be very difficult to learn a skill with just 4 Skill Stones, even a basic one.
Skills are indeed difficult to comprehend; even with high-quality Skill Stones, the success rate will not exceed 10%, which is also the charm of gambling stones.
Generally, pet beasts learn skills by accumulating Skill Stones.
This is also why it's difficult to win the Lucky Red.
The situation where everyone was hesitant and no one was betting was broken by the sudden appearance of the three Immortal University prodigies.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to observe this round? Why did you go back on your word and follow suit? And bet so much?"
"Let's not talk about Big Brother, our Second Brother."
"You're betting on the Lucky Red? Are you sure? You think so highly of this Chengying Demon蛟?"
"What do you know? I'm not betting on the Chengying Demon蛟, but on Qian Bingning!"
"What about him? Being second on the Xingyao List means he's strong, not good at gambling! I still think betting on the Black Dealer is the most reliable!"
"Black Dealer? Hehe! Only cowards play the Black Dealer."
The Black Dealer, because it has the highest success rate, almost always has the smallest odds at every Skill Stone table, and is the best choice for poor gamblers with not much money and cautious players.
"Miss Yan, we can start."
The dealer nodded to Mingxi, stepped back a few paces, and yielded the main position to Mingxi and Emerald Green.
Without Mingxi needing to speak, Emerald Green was already in position, its dark green eyes scanning the twelve Skill Stones covered by a special isolation shield.
These isolation shields could not only deceive the sight of humans and Transcendent creatures but also perfectly hide the quality of the Skill Stones.
The dealer randomly picking which quality of Skill Stone would be chosen first was purely a matter of luck.
"Cheng Cheng."
The Chengying Demon蛟 had claws, two pairs of three-toed grey claws.
Its Emerald Green extended a claw and tapped the number 3 position in front of it, meaning it wanted to absorb this one first.
The dealer skillfully pressed the button, and the number 3 shield opened.
"Wow! The quality of this Skill Stone is not low, probably around 3 stars?"
The quality of a Skill Stone is related to the Transcendent creature that condensed it; the Transcendent creature's level, skill proficiency, and dedication, etc., all affect the Skill Stone's quality.
Due to instability during condensation, there isn't a particularly strict distinction.
Like the Soul Key, they are roughly divided into 1 to 5 stars.
The first Skill Stone Emerald Green chose, with its restrained luster, indeed had 3-star quality.
A decent quality.
Emerald Green didn't have much ambition for the Skill Stone's quality; after the shield opened, it deftly grabbed the Skill Stone into its claw.
The process of absorbing a Skill Stone varies in speed, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) from as fast as a minute to as slow as half an hour.
As for whether a longer or shorter absorption time is better, there is no definitive answer.
Even scientists specializing in skills have not been able to reach an accurate conclusion.
Ultimately, it can be attributed to metaphysics.
Emerald Green absorbed the Skill Stone very quickly; in less than two minutes, the first Skill Stone crumbled into powder in its claw.
It opened its eyes and shook its head at Mingxi.
Mingxi was not surprised, nor did she show any sign of disappointment, "Continue."
