Chapter 5 The first stone gambling

The woman known as Sister Liu led Ling Mohan and Tang Jun, who was looking forward to showing off, through those areas and came to a room at the back of the corridor. After entering, they found a spacious hall with an area of ​​at least three hundred square meters.

, the decoration is simple and elegant, with five rows of mahogany coffee tables placed horizontally. In the center of the hall, there is a temporary steel platform with stones of different sizes placed on it.

There are already many people in the hall, mostly middle-aged people, and there are also a few old men with gray hair. They are all well-dressed, and they look like successful people with a lot of money. On the contrary, there are very few young people.

Only two or three, three or two gathered together.

The auction hadn't started yet, so the three of them found a seat at the back and sat down. The beautiful cheongsam waiter standing beside them immediately brought several cups of fragrant tea.

The woman stood cautiously beside Ling Mohan and introduced: "Miss Ling, these gambling stones are all raw materials pulled from the old pits in Myanmar. They have not been screened. Some of them are raw materials put up for auction here by some jewelry groups."

The woman said she was explaining to Ling Mohan, rather than introducing it to Tang Jun.

Ling Mohan's politeness to Tang Jun has given the woman the illusion that Tang Jun has a high status. Even if the clothes Tang Jun is wearing are just street stalls, there are too many people pretending to be pigs and eating tigers these days. If they are not careful, they will

You'll offend people you can't afford to offend.

"Then how to auction it?" Tang Jun asked.

The woman replied: "The auction process is very simple. After the auction starts, anyone who wants to bid on each piece of wool can go up and watch it, but they cannot touch it with their hands. After it is determined, they can bid. If no one bids,

, it will fall into an unsold auction, or it will be sold at the lowest price.”

Tang Jun nodded thoughtfully. This kind of auction relies entirely on eyesight and experience. If you are not sure, be prepared to lose money!

Not long after sitting in the lobby, Tang Jun saw a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit walking in.

"This is Xiao Gong and Zhao Gongyun, the owner of Guxiangzhai. He is well-known in the Spring City antiques and jade circles. If you want to invite him, you need not only money, but also enough face..."

Ling Mohan introduced this man to Tang Jun in a low voice.

Tang Jun nodded, looked at the man carefully, and subconsciously used the master system to investigate.

"Name: Zhao Gongyun. Age: fifty-one. Occupation: Boss of Guxiangzhai. Force: 6. Not enough to threaten the host. Skill: Golden Eye level 6 (can tell the age of antiques and whether there is jade in the stone wool.) Current psychological state

Status: Lao Wei was so polite that he actually gave me the Song Qing white glaze clear bottle. It seems that I will study it carefully when I get back."

"Discover the skill owner, whether to parse the skill. Parsing the skill requires 500 energy points."

"Not parsed."

Tang Jun refused. The skill of appraising antiques and jadeite was simply useless to him, and he didn't have a hundred points of energy at all.

Zhao Gongyun didn't seem to feel anything. He walked up to the stage with a smile and bowed his hands to everyone present: "Thank you for your compliments. Let's not talk about gossip. We are all old acquaintances. To use a sentence, I can see the truth under my hands. This

The auction is for woolen materials, which are all bulky goods without windows. Whether you can win or not depends entirely on your eyesight and experience. Of course, you also need a little bit of luck."

The last sentence was a little humorous, causing a burst of laughter.

The inciting words successfully aroused everyone's thoughts and attracted everyone's attention to the stone on the steel platform.

When Zhao Gongyun saw that his goal was achieved, he didn't say much. He stretched out his hand and patted a piece of wool casually, and said in his ups and downs tone: "Everyone, I won't go into details about the rules. Winning or losing depends entirely on your vision, strength, and luck.

The one with the highest price for this bulky stuff will get it, whether it goes up or not is all up to you, but Zhao can use his reputation to guarantee that this material comes entirely from the old pits in Myanmar."

"Zhao, stop talking nonsense and start quickly. We are looking at the stones, not you, so hurry up."

An old man wearing a white gown below shouted impatiently at the top of his voice.

Zhao Gongyun smiled slightly, without the slightest hint of anger, but said: "Since Mr. Sun can't wait any longer, let's start. As usual, you can come up and take a look. Every piece of wool has a price tag, and you can bid on your own.

, the one with the highest price gets it.”

This is customary before an auction.

"Tang Jun, do you want to go up and take a look?" Ling Mohan looked at Tang Jun and asked.

"May I?"

Tang Jun was already feeling itchy and couldn't wait to go up and have a look.

"Of course."

Seeing Tang Jun's anxious look, Ling Mohan smiled softly, stood up and rushed to the stage with everyone else.

This gambling stone auction is not an auction one by one, but a group auction, and you can bid on which piece you like.

Tang Jun couldn't hold it any longer, and regardless of what happened, he directly took Ling Mohan's hand, and the two of them pushed forward.

Ling Mohan's face turned red and he wanted to struggle, but Tang Jun grabbed him tightly and had to follow Tang Jun.

Tang Jun squeezed into the crowd and looked at the stones placed on the steel platform. He suddenly smiled bitterly. He didn't understand the old pits, new pits, and stone gambling at all. The only thing he could distinguish was what a stone was and what a cobblestone was.

"Host, whether to turn on the energy scanner, it will consume ten points of energy every ten minutes."

A mechanical sound suddenly came to Tang Jun's mind.

"Oh! Tell me, what's the use of this?" Tang Jun was slightly stunned and immediately asked in his heart.

"As long as there is energy, the energy scanner can scan it out. Do you need to turn on the scanner?"

"Turn on, turn on, of course such a good thing must be turned on."

Tang Jun couldn't wait to make a decision. This was the first time the master system prompted that if these woolen materials contained energy, it would be completely worth spending ten energy points.

"Turn on the energy scanner."

The mechanical sound sounded, and Tang Jun felt his eyes heat up slightly, and couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes, numbers actually appeared on the woolen materials, and some were empty.

Tang Jun knew that this number should be the energy points contained in the wool, and it should be empty without the presence of jade.

"Ten energy points."

"Twenty-five energy points."

"Thirty-five energy points."

Scanning all the way, Tang Jun was quite disappointed. The maximum energy of these wool materials was only fifty, but the price was ridiculously expensive, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, which was simply beyond the scope of his affordability.

"What's wrong, junior, you want to try it too." Seeing Tang Jun staring at the wool, Ling Mohan asked curiously.

"Yes, I also want to try my luck, but unfortunately these prices are too high."

Tang Jun shook his head. Suddenly, his gaze froze, his eyes widened, and he stared at a basketball-sized stone in the corner that no one cared about: "One hundred and six points of energy."

This is a red number, flashing with a faint red light.

Tang Jun stared blankly at the piece of wool, his breathing slightly rapid. One hundred and six points of energy were enough to upgrade his system.

"Tang Jun, do you want to buy that piece of wool?"

Ling Mohan discovered something strange about Tang Jun.

Tang Jun nodded and said, "Senior, can you lend me 10,000 yuan? I will pay you back later."

Ling Mohan didn't hesitate, took out her banknotes from her bag and handed them to Tang Jun, saying: "Junior, you'd better take a closer look. That piece of wool is not in good condition, so it shouldn't be jade, so it's better to take a look.

"

"Yes, little brother, that piece of wool is very bumpy and even cracked in some places. It shouldn't be like jade."

Mr. Sun, who was being squeezed by Zhao Gongyun before, didn't know when he came over and reminded him.

"Thank you, old man. I still want to try."

Tang Jun shook his head. He believed in the expert system. He said to Zhao Gongyun on the side: "Boss Zhao, I want this stone."

"No one bids, the lowest price is 10,000, the deal is done."

Zhao Gongyun waited for a while and found that there was no bidding, so he confirmed the transaction.

"Junior, I wish you success." Ling Mohan said from the side.

"Thank you, senior. If it works out, I'll treat senior to a meal for free."

Tang Jun smiled, bent down and carried the stone to the ground, and then used his toes to kick the stone all the way to the stone dissolving machine that had been waiting for a long time.

The security guard who controlled the stone-cutting machine picked up the stone and held it in place. He asked without thinking, "How to cut it."

"Cut a thin slice from here."

Tang Jun spent ten points of energy to open his eyes, and immediately saw what was going on inside the wool. A red jade the size of an egg appeared in his eyes.

Tang Jun bent down, picked up the chalk, and drew a line on the stone.

The security guard looked at Tang Jun in surprise, adjusted his position slightly, and started to cut along the line drawn by Tang Jun, neatly.

"It's green, the color is good, the water head is very high, it's Zhengyang green."

The security guard raised the saw blade and let out an exclamation, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Mr. Sun ran the fastest, swinging his arms, and was faster than the young people. He reached the Jie Shi in just a few steps.

Next to the machine.

"High-ice Zhengyang Green, be careful not to damage it, otherwise it will be worthless."
