Black Market There are a total of seven cutters here. The woman seems to know one of them, and she said very familiarly, "Zhao Bin, cut these stones for me. If you do well, I will treat you to a drink next time."

Zhao Bin smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Black Market, can you please not call him by his first name?"

"You are from Black Market. What are you afraid of? Drive quickly. Drive quickly." The woman said impatiently.

"Well, you have already lost fifty thousand Spirit Stone this month, even if you are..." At this point, Zhao Bin paused for a moment, and then continued, "Even if you have a good fortune, you will have to lose everything sooner or later if you keep going like this."

Song Changsheng was startled when he heard this, obedient, no wonder he is so bold in taking action. He can lose fifty thousand Spirit Stone in a month and still enjoys it. How can he be an ordinary person?

She must be the daughter of some powerful force.

As soon as these words came out, the woman's expression suddenly became unnatural. She had boasted so much in front of Song Changsheng just now, and this guy had shaken off his old reputation with just a few words. Wasn't he trying to tear himself down?

For a moment, he said with some shame and anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and drive. If you don't drive well, I won't let you go!"

Zhao Bin immediately raised his hands and surrendered, and said helplessly, "Yes, yes, it's all up to you. Anyway, it's not me who loses."

He randomly selected a stone in front of him, and then took out a dark dagger from the box beside him.

I saw the dagger in his hand flying up and down, and layers of gray dust fell to the ground.

He was quick but careful, cutting only a thin layer each time.

Soon, the watermelon-sized stone became the size of a fist, and Zhao Bin became more and more cautious at this moment, and the knife was more careful.

This is the woman's favorite piece, and it cost her nearly one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, so she is full of expectations for it at this moment.

But Song Changsheng has already seen it. This is just a stone with no aura inside.

Sure enough, not a single hair was seen until the end.

The woman stumbled and almost fell down, and said angrily, "What kind of broken stone do you dare to sell for a thousand yuan Spirit Stone?"

Zhao Bin seemed to be used to it. He ignored the woman's complaints and picked up the next stone. Unfortunately, this one was also out of stock.

Two consecutive "air force attacks" hit the woman hard, like an eggplant beaten by frost - Yan'er.

He kept mumbling to himself. "It's impossible, it doesn't make sense. This is the Gambling Stone Manual that I bought for ten thousand Spirit Stone. How could this happen?"

Song Changsheng When he heard this, he suddenly understood that the secret book on relationships was bought from someone else. It seemed that he had been deceived quite a lot.

Fortunately, the third stone was finally harvested. It was a bronze bell, which looked a little worn out and had several deep scratches on the surface.

With Song Changsheng's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this was Law Artifact from Ancient Era. In terms of grade, it was comparable to the current First-Tier Peak Grade Law Artifact. It was worth at most three hundred Spirit Stone, which was a small loss.

Rao was like this, and he also gave the woman a shot of cardiotonic, and her smart eyes regained their luster.

Youdao means nine times out of ten you will lose, the greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment.

With Zhao Bin's skillful cutting techniques, the cutting was completed quickly.

There were only six stones in this pile that had aura, and five of them were at a loss after being opened. Only the stone she selected at the beginning produced a rhizome of Third Tier Low-Grade Spirit Plant, which was still active, and she made a small profit.

This is also the most magical thing about Song Changsheng. These stones from Ancient Battlefield have gone through countless years, and Spirit Plant can still remain active when wrapped in them. It is really strange.

This gave him a bold idea. If a person was wrapped in it, could such a magical effect be achieved?

At this moment, the voice of Zhao Bin interrupted his yy.

"Are you going to take these things away or sell them to our city?"

The woman waved her hand impatiently and said, "What do I want with these crappy things? I'll replace them all with Spirit Stone. I want to go to the second floor."

"A total of three thousand yuan Low-Grade Spirit Stones." Zhao Bin quickly quoted a price.

Song Changsheng was secretly stunned. In less than an hour, Low-Grade Spirit Stones lost four thousand of his blood for more than seven thousand yuan. This word "gamble" is really scary.

And according to the woman's wishes, she would continue.

Taking the Storage Bag handed over by Zhao Bin, the woman weighed it and said, "Three thousand yuan is barely enough to go up and play once."

She winked at Song Changsheng and said, "This floor is just for you newbies to have fun. The stones are cheap and the products are also cheap.

This second floor is different, it can be used to open treasures. My previous Jade Exquisite Pagoda was opened on it, and Black Market was offered for 100,000 yuan, but the girl didn't even sell it. "

Song Changsheng raised her eyebrows. With her luck, it was really not easy to get a treasure worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stone. She couldn't help but said, "Then how many Spirit Stone did you use?"

At this point, the woman's expression under the mask suddenly froze, she turned around and silently went upstairs.

Zhao Bin on the side couldn't help but laugh and said, "Friend Daoist, you stabbed her in the heart with this knife. That Jade Exquisite Pagoda was actually bought by her out of anger and spent hundreds of thousands Spirit Stone."

"It turns out you still lost money." Song Changsheng was also stunned when he heard this, and felt dumbfounded for a moment. It was really a gamble.

"I wonder if her luck will be better today. Fellow Daoist, can we go up and take a look?"

"That's what I mean, Fellow Daoist Zhao, please." Song Changsheng happened to want to go up and learn more.

The two went upstairs together and found that there were a lot less stones on the second floor, but even a layman like Song Changsheng could tell that the quality of these stones was much better than those below.

The price is also very impressive. Any one of them costs more than 1,000 yuan Spirit Stone. He even saw some with tens of thousands of them.

Song Changsheng was in a daze for a moment. Is this really Spirit Stone and not cabbage?

If it can guarantee that you will get treasures, Song Changsheng can understand if it is a little more expensive. The key point is that there is no guarantee for this thing, so it is likely to be wasted.

However, there is a saying that among these stones, most of them have spiritual light, and only a very small part have nothing inside.

The woman was much more cautious now, looking around, and it took her a while to choose one the size of a basketball.

Song Changsheng glanced at the price and couldn't help but be startled, three thousand yuan Low-Grade Spirit Stones?

Seeing that she was about to cut it, Song Changsheng thought for a while and reminded her, "The one next to her seems better."

The woman looked at him with disdain when she heard this, but she still patiently explained, "Stone Gambling is not just about appearance, I will take action, so don't worry."

With that said, he sent the stone to be cut.

The result was naturally as Song Changsheng expected. The stones were all ground into powder and there was nothing left. Three thousand pieces of Spirit Stone were just wasted, which made people feel painful just looking at it.

Looking at the pile of powder, the woman suddenly let out a wail.

To say that her luck was bad, there were only two stones in that piece of stone that had no aura. She used her secrets to accurately step on one of them.

In a way, she is considered a talent.

Just when he and Zhao Bin were about to say a few words of relief, an unpleasant voice came from behind them. "Hey, isn't this the guy who offered 130,000 Spirit Stone for 100,000 Spirit Stone? Why are you still living longer and going back?"

Hearing this, a layer of frost appeared on the face of the woman who was already in a bad mood under the mask.

Looking through the sound, two Black Robe Persons, one tall and one short, were standing at the entrance of the stairs. The tall one among them was the one who spoke just now. He was wearing a very unique green-faced fang mask.

"Chen Menglong, what do you mean? Stone Gambling, you lost last time!" The woman's beautiful eyes were filled with anger and she retorted rudely.

Song Changsheng feels a little strange. Don't everyone in Black Market hide their identities? How come they all seem to recognize each other?

Before he could figure it out, Chen Menglong suddenly sneered and said, "I was just giving in to you that time. I didn't expect you to take it seriously."

The woman laughed angrily, put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "What did you say? Then do you dare to bet with me again?"

Chen Menglong was happy and unafraid, holding his arms and holding his head high and said, "Okay, just bet. If I lose, I will let you put forward a condition. Otherwise, I want the Jade Exquisite Pagoda in your hand!"

"It turns out we are here for Jade Exquisite Pagoda. Just bet. Who is afraid of whom?"

"Siying, calm down, he's trying to set you up." Seeing that the woman was a little impulsive, Zhao Bin immediately spoke to dissuade her.

"Zhao, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. If you become Black Market's dog, you must act like one. You have no place to speak here."

Chen Menglong spoke very domineeringly, making Song Changsheng frown slightly.

Zhao Bin's eyes flashed with anger, but considering the other party's prominent status, he finally endured it and stood aside without saying a word.

"Chen, don't involve others in the grudge between you and me. I will take whatever bet you say." The woman's tone was full of anger.

"Haha, it's very simple. For half an hour, we each choose three stones. After cutting, Black Market will evaluate the value. Whoever cuts out a more valuable stone will win!" Chen Menglong said very confidently.

"Okay, let's see!"

After saying that, the woman began to carefully select stones.

Chen Menglong made no move, but winked at the short man next to him and asked him to choose.

This made Song Changsheng feel more and more that Chen Menglong had come prepared.

Speaking of which, he and the woman just met by chance. He could just stay out of the matter and watch the fight. There was no need to wade through this muddy water.

As for Zhao Bin, there is some degree of friendship between them, so aren't they staying out of it?

However, Song Changsheng does have a good impression of this woman.

He is enthusiastic and sincere, and does not have the condescending attitude of a child of a powerful person.

Apart from being a gambler and a braggart, I didn't find any flaws.

Therefore, Song Changsheng still hopes that this woman can win.

However, her terrible luck really makes it impossible to see the hope of victory. If she doesn't get lucky, she will definitely lose today.

After thinking for a while, he came to the woman's side and said via voice, "Then Chen Menglong came prepared. Are you sure you can win?"

Hearing this, the woman glanced at him and said angrily, "So what if I'm not sure? Chen Clan and my family have never gotten along, and he has already come to provoke me. Can I still refuse?"

This matter has nothing to do with you. Leave early to avoid being affected. "

"Although I don't understand Stone Gambling, this pair of moves is different from ordinary people. If fellow Daoist can trust me, how about letting me choose for fellow Daoist?" Song Changsheng said confidently.

"Can you..." The woman suddenly exclaimed, but she quickly reacted and sent a message to Song Changsheng: "Can you see through this stone?"

"You can't completely see through it, but you can roughly judge the value of the treasure inside the stone."

Song Changsheng is not exaggerating this point. He has been observing it for a while and found that the stronger the aura, the higher the value, and vice versa.

Although it's not precise enough, it's still much more certain than letting her choose on her own.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had this ability? You just watched this girl lose so much Spirit Stone."

Surprisingly, the woman did not question the authenticity of Song Changsheng's words, but instead complained about why he didn't tell him earlier.

"I reminded you twice, but you didn't listen." Song Changsheng said helplessly.

"Who told you not to explain clearly?" the woman said confidently with her chest raised.

"Then it's up to you to choose. If you win this time, all the treasures will be yours."

Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said a little funny, "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I am an undercover agent sent by the other side?"

"Yes." The woman woke up from a dream, and then she remembered that she didn't seem to be familiar with Song Changsheng.

But soon she smiled and said, "You are definitely not. How can an undercover agent report his family name? But why do you want to help me? Aren't you afraid of offending Chen Clan?"

"Out of here, who can know my identity? As for the reason, I just don't like that guy. Since you can trust me, I will do my best to let you win."

Song Changsheng smiled, ran [Illusion Breaking Eye], and began to observe the surrounding stones. Suddenly, a large area of light of different colors came into his eyes.

Each color represents different characteristics of the treasure.

Seeing this, he turned around and asked, "What kind of treasure is the most valuable in this Stone Gambling?"

"Of course it is Spirit Plant with complete root system. These stones come from Ancient Battlefield. There are many Spirit Plant that have become extinct in the outside world. As long as they are found, many people are willing to pay a lot of money to buy them."

Song Changsheng suddenly understood and began to focus on observing the stones that emitted green aura. According to his observations, most of the stones that emitted this color of aura were various Spirit Plant.

After comparison, he quickly chose two stones with the strongest aura and one ordinary stone, which cost a total of 40,000 Spirit Stone.

Looking at these unremarkable stones in front of him, Siying paid the price readily without hesitation.

It's not that she trusts Song Changsheng that much, it's just a throwaway attitude. After all, she doesn't have any better way.

Soon, the appointed time passed.

Each party brought three stones to the cutter, ready to cut.

For a moment, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
