Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 240 Wen Wen Recommends Himself

Guyue Stone Gambling House

Ji Daoyi held the shrunken crescent moon in his arms, with the fat Taoist Wu De standing beside him.

"Let's go in and take a look."

The two men and the wolf walked into the jade gambling den.

In the Guyue Stone Gambling Shop, Wen Wen, who was bored, took a liking to the two people who had just entered the Guyue Stone Gambling Shop. The titles of stranger, easy to fool, and great victim were immediately bestowed upon Ji Daoyi.

"Finally, another job!" A simply dressed young man with bright, sparkling eyes spat out the twig from his mouth, a smile that even AK couldn't suppress appearing on his lips, and strode towards them.

As for Wu De, his shabby appearance was like a rag abandoned on the roadside, and he was not even within his target range.

Ji Daoyi, on the other hand, was completely different. He was like a dazzling pearl, forming a stark contrast with Wu De.

“Sir, you look unfamiliar, so this must be your first time visiting Guyue Stone Gambling House!” Wen Wen said as he ran up to Ji Daoyi.

Wen Wen wasn't actually from the gambling stone workshop; he was a local of Shicheng. However, he had grown up in Shicheng and knew a lot about the gambling stone workshop, which is why he was able to make a living there.

Ji Daoyi glanced at Wen Wen a few times and said, "That's right, it's your first time here. I've heard that gambling on stones in Shicheng can make you rich overnight, so I came to try my luck! And who are you?"

"My name is Wen Wen, and I specialize in serving people like you who are new to gambling on stones in the gambling city. You're right, if you're lucky, you can indeed find a priceless treasure. Of course, not all stones can yield a priceless treasure."

Wen Wen whispered again, "Sir, gambling on stones requires not only luck, but also someone like me who frequents the stone gambling scene year-round. With me around, I can not only save you a lot of spirit stones, but if you're lucky, you can even make a fortune."

"Oh, since you're so capable, why don't you buy the stones and quarry them yourself? Why let a stranger like me make so much money!"

Wen Wen smiled but didn't reply.

Seeing his confident demeanor, Ji Dao still asked, "How much do you want?"

"One thousand spirit stones! Don't think it's expensive, I guarantee you'll get your money's worth!"

"One thousand! Hmm... that's not cheap, but if you can get me some treasure, one thousand won't be a problem!"

Ji Daoyi took out 1,000 yuan stones from his storage bag and threw them to Wen Wen.

"Dao Yi, you're just giving him this? Aren't you afraid he'll run away with the Yuan Stone?" Wu De transmitted his thoughts through mental energy.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid! I know what I'm doing."

Seeing that Ji Daoyi had his own plans, Wu De didn't say anything more, since they didn't lack those spirit stones anyway.

"Since we've paid for this, you should demonstrate your worth!" Ji Daoyi stroked the fur on the back of Crescent Moon's neck and said to Xiao Wen.

Wen Wen patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, if you're not satisfied, I'll refund you every single one of these thousand yuan stones!"

However, the best stones in the outer courtyard have either been picked up by others or are just scraps left by the family. To find anything good, you have to go into the inner courtyard to select stones.

However, to enter the inner courtyard, one must first spend 100,000 gold stones in the outer courtyard; in fact, this 100,000 gold stones is the admission ticket to the inner courtyard. Everyone knows this, but it's all tacitly agreed upon.

Ji Daoyi said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, we didn't plan to stay only in the outer courtyard. Since we've come to the gambling stone market, we should at least go to the inner courtyard to take a look, right?"

"So, you pick out 50,000 yuan worth of stones for us, and we'll wander around the outer courtyard and pick out 50,000 yuan worth of scrap stones ourselves. In the end, we'll see if we're lucky or if you have a better eye!"

After Wen Wen left, Ji Daoyi and Wu De strolled around the outer courtyard.

"Dao Yi, why did you suddenly agree to his offer and even give him a thousand yuan stones! And all we know is his name. You would never have done this before, so why today?"

After some hesitation, Wu De finally voiced his doubts.

Ji Daoyi smiled and said, "Since this person dares to come to us so openly, he is either a shill or he is really capable."

Furthermore, we were already planning to visit the inner courtyard, meaning we would have spent the 100,000 yuan worth of stones in the outer courtyard even without him! Besides, do you know how to gamble on stones?

Wu De shook his head. He only learned about Shicheng because Ji Daoyi was there.

They said they came to gamble on stones, but it would be more accurate to say they came to find Ji Daoyi.

He was just looking for an opportunity to get close to Ji Daoyi.

Gambling on stones!

Don't be ridiculous, he absolutely can't!

“What you said makes sense, but I still don’t understand. If he’s just stalling, won’t we end up being the ones who get ripped off? Even if he refunds me a thousand yuan stones, we’ll still lose a lot!”

"Let's take it one step at a time! I have a feeling we'll make a profit this time!"

After Ji Dao finished speaking, he carried Yueya forward.

Guyue Stone Gambling Hall truly lives up to its reputation as the largest stone gambling hall in Shicheng. The outer courtyard alone covers several acres, and the stones inside are of all sizes, a dazzling array.

"Dao Yi, we've been walking for so long and haven't chosen a single stone. Didn't you say you wanted to choose a stone worth 50,000 yuan?"

"It's too difficult. I can't see through any of the stones even with my mental energy. They seem to be encased in a formation that isolates mental energy. And you haven't been able to pick out a single stone either!"

"..."

After turning around for two hours

Ji Daoyi and his companion finally met with Wen Wen.

"Hey, you didn't find what you wanted either?"

“You’ve already made your selections! I’m just here to help you, because your situation is the same as those who come to the stone gambling market for the first time to find stones.”

Wen Wen seemed to know about Ji Daoyi and his group's dilemma. In the vast sea of ​​stones, most of the stones were ordinary, while the stones that looked good were too expensive. Most people didn't want to be ripped off.

Some people are bold enough to randomly choose stones, only to find out in the end that they are just ordinary stones, which makes them furious.

"Oh...do you have any good suggestions? We're really unsure how to choose!"

Wen Wen walked ahead, constantly looking around.

Suddenly, he walked up to a piece of stone with an irregular, pitted surface, touched it, and looked at it.

This stone is priced at 30,000 yuan and is about the size of a bucket.

"This stone is worth buying. Although its value isn't as high as its listed price, we won't lose much by buying it!"

"..."

"That simple? What makes you think there's treasure inside?"

Ji Daoyi and Wu De were both full of questions.

Neither of them could tell that the stone in front of them was any different from the other stones.

And they just touched it, feeling the texture of the stone.

I don't see anything wrong with it!

"This is my exclusive secret. If you want to know, you'll have to pay extra!" Wen Wen chuckled, as if he was certain the person in front of him would pay the money!

"How many?"

"One Thousand Yuan Stone!"
