1946 Stone Gambling 4
Mu Weiran’s approach to selecting stones relied heavily on her accumulated experience. Growing up in the Wuji Sect, she had been exposed to numerous stones from a young age. Her expertise in stone selection was developed through years of hands-on practice, enabling her to make judgments based on factors such as stone patterns, size, and weight.
Differentiating between Spirit Stones and regular stones was one of her techniques. Spirit Stones tended to be heavier, so if Elder Miss Mu possessed any Spirit Stones, her stones would have a noticeable weight advantage. However, even armed with this knowledge, the likelihood of successfully discerning Spirit Stones was only 50-50.
Upon finding a visually appealing stone, Mu Weiran handed it to Zhao Dier and invited him to examine it. “Take a look at this,” she said.
Although this particular rock contained Spirit Stones, they were of mediocre quality and not particularly large. Nevertheless, they would suffice for dealing with Zhao Dier. Mu Weiran knew that she would not underestimate such a stone if she were in his position.
After investing a full two hours, Mu Weiran finally selected five stones for herself and three for Zhao Dier. The process had drained a considerable amount of her energy. Despite feeling a bit fatigued, she was content because she believed she had achieved something worthwhile today.
Curious to see Gu Chaoyan’s choices, she turned around, only to discover that no one was there.
She found it peculiar, almost odd.
The sight of Gu Chaoyan startled her, causing a sudden reaction.
She gathered a small stack of stones, not limiting herself to the high-level Spirit Stones but also selecting from the middle-level ones.
Consequently, there was a diverse assortment of stones in various shapes and sizes.
Mu Weiran couldn’t fathom her intentions.
“Are you aiming to win through quantity? I’ve never witnessed someone relying on quantity in high-stakes stone gambling,” mocked Zhao Dier.
Despite the mockery, Mu Weiran didn’t intervene.
Because…
She couldn’t find fault in his statement.
It was genuinely amusing.
Stone gambling demanded a serious examination of stones, not a haphazard selection based on quantity.
“Assist me in opening the stones,” Mu Weiran maintained her composed demeanor.
Upon noticing Mu Weiran’s intention to open the stones, the casino staff accorded her priority due to her esteemed reputation. In contrast, Gu Chaoyan was relegated to waiting at the rear.
Gu Chaoyan acknowledged the casino’s influence, albeit begrudgingly, and resigned herself to silent anticipation.
Regardless, she didn’t possess a substantial quantity of stones, so waiting seemed to be her only option.
Amidst the rocks, Gu Chaoyan displayed remarkable patience as she waited.
Meanwhile, Mu Weiran commenced the task of opening the stones.
With just a fraction of the first stone exposed, its vibrant colors burst forth, accompanied by a continuous release of spiritual energy. The stone’s surface appeared delicate, indicating the likelihood of it being encrusted with Spirit Stones.
The person handling the stone evidently grew excited, as it had been quite some time since they last encountered such a specimen. They meticulously proceeded, wary of unintentionally damaging any Spirit Stones within.
As the stone was fully unveiled, an exquisite crystal-red gem revealed itself before them.
“Congratulations, Elder Miss!” the individual who opened the stone exclaimed, extending the Spirit Stones to Mu Weiran.
Maintaining her composed demeanor, Mu Weiran graciously accepted the offering, her heart naturally brimming with excitement.
Simultaneously, she cast a challenging gaze in Gu Chaoyan’s direction.
She possessed formidable gambling skills, making her an exceptional player in her own right. The absence of her participation would undoubtedly result in her own missed opportunities.
Continuing her endeavors, Mu Weiran proceeded to open several more stones. However, unlike the initial one, subsequent stones failed to exhibit the same level of perfection. Some stones showcased vibrant hues but were diminutive in size, while others, though larger, displayed unfavorable colors.
