Chapter 290: Seeing Big Goods Again
This Gambling Stone Workshop was quite fated with Lin Zhangqing. His first raw stone was bought at their place.
The location wasn't far from the inn where Lin Zhangqing and the others were staying, and it took a quarter of an hour to walk there.
Looking at the familiar place, Lin Zhangqing didn't hesitate too much and led the two sisters straight in.
The shop clerk saw guests coming and hurriedly greeted them: "Welcome, three distinguished guests!"
Lin Zhangqing nodded and pointed to his younger sister and Lin Changlian, saying: "My two younger sisters are here for the first time.
Introduce the rules of this gambling stone trade to them in detail. I'll take a look around myself first, and if there's a suitable one, I'll call you."
The shop clerk hurriedly agreed.
Lin Zhangqing continued to instruct his two younger sisters: "You follow this little brother first and let him introduce the rules of gambling stone to you.
Then look around inside yourself. If you see one you like, don't rush to buy it first, wait until I've looked at it before making a decision."
His younger sister and Lin Changlian nodded hurriedly. Seeing the two of them already eager to try, he didn't waste any more time.
He nodded to the shop clerk, and then they separated to wander around. The place was quite big, but there were also many people looking at raw stones, at least thirty or forty cultivators were picking raw stones.
In fact, what Lin Zhangqing disliked most was this kind of situation. With many people and mixed eyes, it was very easy to leak news.
However, there was no other way. He couldn't ask the Gambling Stone Workshop to only receive his own batch of customers! So he simply ignored the others.
Better to look at his own raw stones! Lin Zhangqing scanned at a glance, and a dozen halos of varying brightness were distributed in every corner.
But looking carefully, he found that the vast majority were Medium-Grade Spirit Stone raw ore, among which there were only two very bright, one yellow and one cyan, incomplete and bright halos, and they were piled together.
Surrounded by several shop clerks, they were washing this pile of raw stones. It looked like they should be new goods that had just arrived at the Gambling Stone Workshop.
He called a clerk and asked: "Can customers buy these raw stones that are still being washed?"
The clerk respectfully replied: "They can be sold, and there are many customers who like to pick this kind of raw stone that hasn't been washed."
Lin Zhangqing of course knew they could be bought. He had bought this kind before, and asking more was just to be safe.
So he said: "That's just right, I like this kind that hasn't been picked by others. This time, let me take a look and pick a few to take back to play with.
You guys come over, help move these away, and let me take a good look!"
Subsequently, several shop clerks came over to help, moved the piled raw stones away, and Lin Zhangqing finally saw their true purpose. His heart beat wildly, and he couldn't help but clench his fist fiercely.
He was extremely happy in his heart now, but he still had to desperately endure it, not letting the smile on his face show. He had never imagined that he would encounter such a big surprise here!
The two raw stones were not small. One of them was half as big as the treasure of the Gambling Stone Workshop in Jinzhou Prefecture, and the other was only slightly smaller. The two added together were almost equivalent to another treasure of the shop!
That treasure of the shop last time was obtained by Zhao Liyu for him, so although he was also very happy, there was no sense of achievement.
He couldn't experience the joy of picking up a leak. This time it was different, all were handled by himself. Anyway, he was happy and joyful, and full of sense of achievement.
And because the raw stone pile was moved away, a relatively small raw stone emitting a bright blue halo that was pressed underneath was also exposed.
This piece of water-attribute Upper-Grade Spirit Stone raw ore, looking at it, it was absolutely no problem to open two or three hundred Upper-Grade Water Spirit Stones! New goods were different. This raw stone pile suddenly produced three pieces of Upper-Grade raw ore. Lin Zhangqing was especially happy, feeling that his whole person was a bit light.
However, since he had to put on a show, he had to do it completely. He still tried hard to restrain his emotions, then patiently walked over, pretending to be nonchalant.
He studied that pile of raw stones roughly, and then determined those three raw stones, and asked the shop clerk to invite the boss over.
This Gambling Stone Workshop boss, Lin Zhangqing knew, but now Lin Zhangqing was wearing a Hidden Spirit Mask. And so much time had passed, Lin Zhangqing doubted that even if he revealed his true face now, this boss wouldn't remember who he was!
After the two greeted each other, they bargained for a long time. This boss looked at the three raw stones Lin Zhangqing chose and asked for 28,000 spirit stones. Lin Zhangqing wanted to close the deal at 24,000.
After dawdling for a while, both sides finally took a step back and took an intermediate value, closing the deal at 26,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Lin Zhangqing paid the spirit stones, and then the boss and a shop clerk helped move the three raw stones into Lin Zhangqing's storage bag.
Just now, the boss and the shop clerk were here, and it was so lively, it had long attracted the attention of some interested people. However, coming here, Lin Zhangqing had long been mentally prepared.
The thought that flashed by in the morning surfaced again, but this idea was still a bit risky, and then it was suppressed by him.
Scanning with divine sense, there were three waves of people in the Gambling Stone Workshop, all of whom were paying attention to Lin Zhangqing's every move, either openly or secretly.
Lin Zhangqing pretended not to know. He scanned around, and soon found the location of his younger sister and Lin Changlian.
However, it made him a little surprised. Could it really be the legendary welfare for beginners?
His younger sister and Lin Changlian were now wandering in front of a raw stone emitting a dark red halo. Lin Zhangqing walked over directly.
Originally, he didn't want them to gamble and win, because this would encourage some bad ideas in them, making them think that gambling stones to earn spirit stones was easy, and they would become out of control in the future.
But now that the two had clearly picked this piece of Medium-Grade spirit stone, Lin Zhangqing going to sabotage it specifically wouldn't be justified, so he could only let it take its course now!
He asked with a grin: "How are you? Did you pick a suitable raw stone?"
Seeing her brother come over, Lin Changlian hurriedly dragged his hand and came to that raw stone.
She introduced: "Brother, look quickly, this is the raw stone I picked. I feel that it will definitely be able to open good things inside."
Lin Zhangqing chuckled: "You're dreaming! Have you ever heard of the saying that it's hard for gods to judge an inch of jade! Gambling stones is more about relying on luck.
However, this one looks quite good. If you really like it, you can take it down to play with."
Getting her brother's approval, Lin Changling was very happy and hurriedly asked: "Brother, how many spirit stones do you estimate it will take to buy this raw stone?"
Hearing his younger sister ask this, Lin Zhangqing went up, picked it up, weighed it, and roughly had a number in his heart, saying: "It probably needs about 800 to 900 spirit stones!"
Lin Changling nodded, then looked at Lin Changlian with expectation, and held her hand, saying: "Sister Changlian, let's buy this raw stone together!"
Lin Changlian saw Lin Changling was so enthusiastic, so she couldn't refuse, and could only say: "Then fine! Let's buy this piece together!"
His younger sister heard her agree and happily said to the shop clerk who had been following them: "We want to buy this raw stone, do we have to find the boss?"
The shop clerk heard this and hurriedly said: "Yes, a few guests, wait a moment, I'll go find the boss."
After speaking, without waiting for their answer, he ran to find the boss directly.
Soon, he brought the boss to their side. Lin Zhangqing was worried the boss would let something slip, so he hurriedly said first: "Boss, we are all old customers, this raw stone must be cheaper!"
The boss was also a shrewd person and immediately understood Lin Zhangqing's meaning, so he followed his words and said: "Fine! This is definitely no problem.
I'll give you a discount this time, welcome to continue to take care of my business next time."
