Adriss's words were very irritating. It was as if he was sure that he would win and Wang Teng would lose. So, he didn't even need to choose the ore selection and just admitted defeat.
"Wang Teng, I think you should admit defeat. If not, you will lose even more money if you lose the bet." Cao Guan chimed in at the side and mocked Wang Teng.
"Master Chen Shu is a senior ore prospector. You can't compare with his ability to find ores. You are a rat!"
When the senior ore prospector heard this, his face showed a trace of pride and said lightly, "Young man, it doesn't matter if you lose a little. You have to pay some tuition. But remember to learn from your mistakes."
"You seem to be sure that you will win?" An Lanfeng couldn't listen anymore and said with a squint.
"Of course. Do you see this ore? It weighs more than ten thousand pounds. Master Chen Shu said that the content of this ore is very amazing. The ore will definitely be valuable. Do you think you can find another ore that can compare with it?" Cao Guan sneered.
An Lanfeng frowned and glanced at the senior ore prospector. Then, he looked at Wang Teng.
He didn't think that this senior ore prospector was a liar. The ores in the Gathering Wealth Gambling Mine were all high-quality goods. Such a large piece, even if it was just a blockage, was very valuable. How could the Pyrax family find a random ore prospector to choose it? This meant that the ore prospector was really capable.
Wang Teng glanced at the ore that weighed more than ten thousand pounds. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This Senior Ore Seeking Master did have some skills. He was actually able to choose such a valuable piece of ore.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare to casually pick such a huge ore.
However, he smiled faintly and said, "Since when can an advanced ore prospector be called a master?"
Chen Shu's eyes flashed with a trace of embarrassment.
Of course, an advanced ore prospector couldn't be called a master.
But was this how they called him in private?
Just like the deputy director?
Would his subordinates directly address him as' director 'as a form of flattery?
As long as they didn't say it in a formal setting?
There was no problem.
However, Wang Teng said it out loud, which was a bit like a slap in the face.
"Since you're not convinced?
Mine Master Chen Shuxun sneered.
He didn't argue over how to address her. Wouldn't it do him any good if this matter blew up?
He would only be humiliating himself.
Wang Teng smiled calmly.
He didn't linger on the matter any longer. Instead, he swept his gaze across the surroundings before casually pointing at a piece of ore that was about 500 kilograms in weight.
"This is it."
"An Lanthanum, pay up!"
"…" An Lanfeng looked at Wang Teng with resentment.
So casual.
Are you serious?
"Hahahaha?
Are you going to give up now that you have nothing to lose? You dare to compare yourself to Young Master Adriss by randomly choosing a thousand catties of ore? "Cao Guan laughed loudly.
"Young man?
You are simply fooling around. Do you think that by randomly choosing a piece, you will have an excuse to say that you didn't choose carefully? "Mine Master Chen Shuxun was also dumbfounded and shook his head.
Cao Jiaojiao glanced at Wang Teng curiously. This fellow was as cunning as a little fox.
Would he admit defeat so easily?
"Sir, did I call you sir?
Can we be more serious? This is a ten thousand catties ore?
If we lose, we won't even have our pants left. "An Lanfeng was depressed.
He hurriedly transmitted his voice to Wang Teng.
"Do you automatons wear pants?" Wang Teng looked at him strangely.
"I …" An Lanfeng wanted to vomit blood. "How do you say we don't wear pants?
Are you discriminating?
I wear pants … No, we are talking about whether we wear pants or not. I'm talking to you about losing money, big brother. "
"Don't worry, calm down. To think that you are a domain lord." Wang Teng said calmly.
"So what if I am a domain lord? My domain lord's money isn't money." An Lanfeng retorted.
"Alright, we won't lose. If you trust me, then buy that ore. You will make a fortune." Wang Teng said confidently. "Oh right, if you make money, you have to split it with me. I won't help you casually. I will be very expensive."
"You are really confident?" An Lanfeng asked suspiciously.
"It's up to you to believe me or not." Wang Teng said casually.
"Alright, I will believe you again. If we win, we will split it evenly. No, we will split it 30-70. You take 70 and I take 30." An Lanfeng gritted his teeth.
"Very good, you are aware." Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction.
"Have you finished discussing? If you want to buy, then hurry up." Adris frowned and urged impatiently.
An Lanfeng didn't say anything. He went up and bought the ore that Wang Teng chose.
"Wang Teng, you are really confident. Don't tell me you are working with Adris to kill this dumb domain lord of the automaton race." Yuan Gungun's strange voice sounded in Wang Teng's mind. "I have heard that the automaton race is a little stubborn. I have seen it today."
"Am I that kind of person?" Wang Teng rolled his eyes angrily. "No matter what, I won't mix with the Pyrax family. They are our opponents."
"Ahem, I am just saying." Yuan Gungun also knew that Wang Teng couldn't be working with the other party.
However, Wang Teng's method of choosing ores was a little unreliable. He bought it after just one look. Did he think he was buying cabbage at the market?
At this moment, An Lan had finished buying the ores and walked over. His face was filled with pain. Although he was wearing a mask, Wang Teng could see the pain in his eyes.
"I spent 300 million. My heart hurts." An Lanfeng touched his chest and said.
"You only spent 300 million. We spent a whole billion on this ore. Poor people are poor." Cao Guan didn't let go of any opportunity to mock Wang Teng and the others. He was just looking for trouble.
An Lanfeng glared at him. He hated it when people called him poor.
If they weren't in the Gathering Wealth Gambling Mine, he might have slapped Cao Guan to death.
A mere star level dared to be so impudent in front of a domain lord.
Tsk, he was asking for death!
Wang Teng couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that An Lanfeng, this domain lord, was having a hard time. However, it could be that his brain was wired differently. If it was any other domain lord, they would have attacked long ago. They wouldn't have given Cao Guan a chance to speak.
"Since we have chosen the ore, let's start cutting it." Adriss said calmly.
Wang Teng naturally didn't have any objections.
They were in a hurry to give him money. He couldn't stop them.
Then, they went to the cutting area and asked two masters to cut the ore.
"They want to gamble!"
"Interesting, let's go take a look."
"They seem to be betting big. Look at that ore, it's at least 1 billion."
"The other one is only 500 kg. Do they still want to compete?"
"Who knows? It's a gamble. Who can say for sure?"
…
Many people noticed the situation here and gathered curiously. They discussed in low voices.
Even the domain lords walked over. They seemed to be interested.
The few sector lords didn't move and continued to choose their own ores. However, they would occasionally look over.
No one dared to disturb the sector lords. When they were choosing ores, others would automatically avoid them. Hence, the area around them was the quietest.
Wang Teng's side had already started cutting the ore. The two masters started at the same time.
"Both of you, the ores you chose are source stone ores. If there are source stones inside, it will cause origin power to leak out. Hence, you need to start cutting off the surface layer by layer to avoid serious damage. It might take a long time, so please wait patiently."
The beautiful employee of the gambling mine explained. Then, she ordered people to set up tables, chairs, pastries, and tea. The service was very good.
The stone-cutting masters were indeed experienced craftsmen. They didn't use machines, but did it themselves. They held a strange-looking stone-cutting knife in their hands and scraped the ore layer by layer.
Not long later, someone suddenly exclaimed.
"It's shining."
"It's shining so quickly."
"Such pure origin power. This source stone is incredible. It's at least level 5 or 6!"
…
Master Chen Shu's eyebrows jumped. His eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
After scraping off the surface layer of the ore, a fiery red light shone out. It was very eye-catching.
This was a fire-type source stone!
Shining meant that the source stone was shining.
Although he knew that this ore would be profitable, he didn't expect to find source stones so quickly. The masters had only scraped off two or three layers of the ore, and it was already shining. This meant that the amount of source stones inside was quite shocking.
Adris's eyes flashed with joy. One billion wasn't a small sum to him. Being able to make a big profit was a good thing.
"You did very well," Adris said to Chen Shu.
"Young Master, you flatter me!"
Chen Shu was a master hired by the Pyrax clan, so he was very polite to Adris.
"Hahaha, do you see that? Our ore has already produced source stones, but you don't have any signs of it. You want to bet with us?" Cao Guan laughed loudly and pointed at Wang Teng's ore. His mocking expression became even more pronounced.
Wang Teng's ore had already been scraped off four or five layers of the ore, but it still didn't show any signs of glowing.
Wang Teng didn't even look at Cao Guan. He sat there calmly and sipped his tea. He didn't take Cao Guan seriously.
An Lan was a bit nervous. He glanced at Wang Teng and relaxed a bit when he saw Wang Teng like this.
"Hmph, you're still putting on an act when you're about to die," Cao Guan harrumphed angrily.
"That's nothing. Your ore only has source stones on the surface. The inside is so big. Do you think it's possible that the entire ore is source stones?" Wang Teng said calmly.
Adris frowned and glanced at Chen Shu.
"He's right. Before the ore is completely opened, no one can say for sure what the inside will look like. However, we'll probably make a profit here. It just depends on how much we make," Chen Shu said.
"Even so, we'll definitely make more than you," Cao Guan said.
"Let's wait and see," Wang Teng said calmly. He wasn't in a rush at all.
His attitude made Adris and the others feel a bit uncomfortable. He didn't seem to have any sense of accomplishment from winning. He was like a soft ball of cotton, making it hard for them to even begin with.
Cao Jiaojiao looked at him in astonishment. Putting everything else aside, just his temperament alone was already quite impressive.
"It's glowing! This piece is glowing too!" someone suddenly yelled.
