Chapter 5, The Stone Gambling Competition

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The so-called "Stone King" is a title of respect for individuals who are exceptionally skilled in the art of stone gambling. To become a Stone King, one must not only excel in stone gambling but also gain recognition from the Jade Stone Alliance. Those who hold the title of Stone King are all individuals of high moral standing and great skill, and the old master is indeed a Stone King

Although he was momentarily taken aback, Huang Dashih quickly realized that he was, after all, a servant of the Huang family. His actions were indeed inappropriate. When the masters had already lowered themselves, if he were to act otherwise, it would be a sign of ignorance of the rules and an offense against his superiors, which would be a grave transgression. Therefore, Huang Dashih hurriedly said: "Young Master, I apologize. It was the old servant's negligence. Please punish me, Young Master."

The so-called system in hand means I have the world at my disposal. A mere gamble on stones should not pose a problem. However, I should still consult Lulu; she is the system spirit and is familiar with this world, so she should know a lot. If I were to leave her unused, wouldn't that be a waste of resources? That would be quite foolish.

What is the Stone King

Do you want 1,000 points of life energy? Are you joking with me? Huang Yu rolled his eyes at the remark. If he had 1,000 points of life energy, there would be no need to mention it. With 1,000 points of life energy, he would be able to reach the innate realm. Innate cultivators are considered experts in Liulin Town, and there are not many innate cultivators in the entire Liulin Town.

Although I, as an old servant, have considerable knowledge of jadeite raw stones, I have no certainty of winning in the stone gambling competition, unless we can invite some stone kings, which might give us a glimmer of hope. " Huang Dashu sighed, " But now, our Huang family does not have the strength to invite even one stone king.

Regarding the rudeness of Manager Huang, Huang Yu smiled and did not take it to heart, waving his hand to signal Lin Fu to withdraw

Manager Huang, please rest assured. I have come this time not to ask you for money. Moreover, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I lost my memory regarding previous matters. If there were any shortcomings towards you in the past, I kindly ask for your understanding.

"Huang Lao, how is the jade business of the Huang family these days?" Huang Yu asked Huang Dashih. Since he was now a member of the Huang family and the only heir and head of the family, he felt it was his duty to assist the Huang family. After all, this was also his property. Even if the true heir of the Huang family were to return in the future, he could always relinquish it to him. For Huang Yu, helping the Huang family now was extremely beneficial for his future development

Gambling Stone Competition? Huang Yu's eyes lit up as he recalled his probing technique. Could his probing technique also be beneficial for gambling stones? If it is helpful, then the outcome of the Gambling Stone Competition would be a foregone conclusion

Lulu said, "The owner can lend and borrow!"

At this moment, Huang Yu was becoming somewhat impatient. If his probing technique proved effective, allowing him to determine whether there were jade or even spirit stones within the raw stones, then becoming the so-called Stone King would be a piece of cake. Restoring the Huang family's former glory would merely be a trivial matter. Moreover, with the all-encompassing cultivation system at his disposal and the assistance of Lulu, he regarded the small town of Liulin with disdain. If he could not even conquer the insignificant Liulin Town, he would feel unworthy of the all-encompassing cultivation system.

Moreover, once one becomes a congenital cultivator, it becomes significantly easier to slay ferocious beasts, and one can even kill demon beasts. The difference between demon beasts and ferocious beasts is immense. Slaying a demon beast, even a first-tier one, can yield dozens or even hundreds of life energy. At that point, would one still care about a mere one thousand life energy

Master, although the level of the appraisal technique is still quite low, it is sufficient to identify ordinary jade rough stones. As long as the level is not particularly high, there will be no problem at all. Of course, if the Master has enough life energy, it is also possible to exchange for the eye technique. With the eye technique, it will be even easier for the Master to identify jade rough stones. Lulu's melodious voice echoed in Huang Yu's mind

The Stone King? Huang Yu pondered for a moment; this Stone King is likely quite extraordinary. Not only must he be exceptionally skilled in the art of stone gambling, but he must also possess formidable strength, be highly respected, and require the recognition of the Jade Alliance. Although Huang Yu is not very clear about what the Jade Alliance is, he can roughly speculate about it.

This Manager Huang is not an ordinary person; his cultivation level far exceeds my own. Within the entire Huang family, I initially thought that Zheng Zhong was the strongest, but I did not expect that Manager Huang is even more concealed and profound. It is no wonder that the old master of the Huang family can confidently entrust him with the management of the jade shop, which is the lifeblood of the Huang family. Since the old master dares to let him manage it, Manager Huang is not an ordinary person and is indeed trustworthy; otherwise, the old master would not have appointed him.

"Young Master, please follow me," Huang Dashih said, and then he stood up and walked ahead.

"Where is it? Old Huang is serious. It is Huang Yu's youthful ignorance that has led to today's situation, and Old Huang's lesson is warranted." Seeing such a change in Huang Dashih, Huang Yu felt very pleased; it seemed that he had gained the recognition of this Manager Huang. He had thought he would need to employ some tactics to win him over, but unexpectedly, it was so easy, which was quite beyond Huang Yu's expectations.

Huang Yu nodded and followed behind, but in his mind, he was connecting with Lulu

Originally, the old master... sigh... no more, no more. Huang Dashih simply sighed

Huang Yu's demeanor was very humble, completely unlike his previous self. Upon seeing this situation, Huang Dashih almost thought he had mistaken the person. Is this still the same arrogant and overbearing young master of the Huang family from before?

"Borrowing and lending? What kind of borrowing and lending is this?" Huang Yu listened to Lulu's tone, realizing that this borrowing and lending was certainly not that simple

Huang Dashi felt a deep bitterness upon hearing this. He looked at Huang Yu and said, "Young Master, it is the old servant's inadequacy. Our Huang family's jade business has plummeted, and even the sources of jade and raw stones have been cut off. They are now unwilling to trade with us. Therefore, our Huang family has reached a point of great difficulty."

"There is, but it is very difficult," Huang Dashi shook his head and said, "Unless we can win the stone gambling competition, otherwise it will be too challenging"

"Can life energy still be used to exchange for items in the system?" Huang Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this

"It is possible, but the master does not yet have enough life energy to activate it. To open the exchange space, the master needs to expend one thousand points of life energy," Lulu said

"Huang Lao, please take me to see the raw stones in the inventory first," Huang Yu said after a moment of thought

Hehe, I forgot to tell the master that if the master wants one thousand points of life energy right now, there is still a way to achieve it said Lulu with a smile

"You speak," Huang Yu said with surprise.

Young Master! Upon hearing this, Huang Dashih's eyes shimmered with tears, his heart filled with excitement. The heavens have finally opened their eyes; the Huang family has a successor. If the old master knows from the netherworld, he can rest in peace.

"Old Huang, this is not your fault. Don't worry, I will break through this difficult situation," Huang Yu said to Huang Dashih. "Old Huang, do you have any good ideas?"

How can one say that they are also the protagonist, and moreover, a protagonist with a system and benefits? Such trivial matters are hardly worth considering.
