The industry of appraisers was very special. Reputation and qualifications were the most important things. If they cheated, they would ruin their reputation and jobs. Therefore, Ding Ning was not afraid that they would collude with appraisers.
"Young Master Ding is so generous. If we didn't already have a grudge, I would want to make friends with you."
Childe Liu and others were convinced by Ding Ning's calm and composed performance. Childe Liu sighed and said quite sincerely.
Ding Ning smiled faintly and did not speak. Childe Liu still lacked this bit of moral quality to make friends with him.
Yes, it was the character. Ding Ning made friends not according to their status, but according to their character. Only those who were pleasing to his eyes and had no flaws in their character could enter his eyes.
Childe Liu was arrogant and domineering because of his family background. After being beaten by him, he bullied the weak and feared the strong. He didn't dare to take revenge like a man. Instead, he wanted to save his face by stone gambling. In his mind, such a playboy who had nothing to do with women didn't deserve to be his friend.
From a certain point of view, even Qian Le, the Fourth Young Master of the Qian Family, was more courageous than Young Master Liu. At least he dared to shout in front of him and take revenge on him openly.
The appraiser was soon invited over. The Navigation Auction Company was very flexible in doing business. The appraiser did not just appraise on duty. As long as someone was willing to pay, he could also go out and appraise for others.
Xiang Bolong spent money, and it was very close to the auction house. These appraisers naturally would not refuse.
Among the seven appraisers, there was an old acquaintance of Ding Ning. It was the most authoritative Mr. Liu of the Navigation Auction House.
Master Liu had obviously recognized him. He nodded and smiled at him, but he did not come up to greet him. He wanted to avoid arousing suspicion.
Ding Ning smiled implicitly and glanced at Master Mo. "This is the stone-gambling expert you invited, right?"
"Yes, this is Master Mo, who has recently become famous in Ninghai. What, are you afraid?"
Childe Liu was worried that Ding Ning would go back on his words after knowing the name of Master Mo, so he hurriedly goaded him. "Last night, we made a bet, but we didn't say that we can't ask for outside help. You can also ask someone to come."
"What? That is Master Mo?"
"Gosh, it's Master Mo. Look at his sage-like appearance, he deserves to be called a master."
"This young man definitely doesn't dare to gamble. That is the most popular Master Mo in Ninghai."
"Only a fool would bet with Master Mo. He is a Stone-gambling Master. It is said that he has never made a mistake until now."
"F * ck! Who has such a big face to be able to invite Master Mo to help me? If only Master Mo is willing to help me once. I will be rich."
"You wish! Every time Master Mo takes action, he consumes his power. How much money would it take to invite him? Let's go. That young man definitely doesn't dare to gamble."
…
Hearing this, the crowd, who had been attracted here, burst into an uproar. They looked at Master Mo with admiration and talked about it.
Looking at Childe Liu who thought he was clever and Master Mo who was reserved under everyone's compliments, Ding Ning's eyes flashed with disdain. "No need. I'd like to see how powerful this Stone-gambling Master is."
"What? Is this young man out of his mind? He actually dares to accept the bet?"
"Hmph, a newborn calf is truly not afraid of a tiger. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
"Haha, it's good that there's a show to watch. Who knows, maybe he's also an expert with a unique skill."
"Humph, he really doesn't know life and death. Young people are always young and vigorous. They don't know fear and are arrogant."
"Alas, he even dares to gamble with Master Mo. This young man is doomed."
"I heard that their bet is 300 million yuan. F * ck, this young man's clothes are very ordinary. Can he take out 300 million yuan?"
"Since he dares to accept the bet, it means that he has the money. There are many rich people who have the idea of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger."
"The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day. This guy is so young. How can he have so much money? He still gambles with his parents' hard-earned money. People's morals are really not what they used to be."
"Shh, don't say a few words. It's not good to offend a person who can casually take out 300 million yuan as a bet. He is willing to gamble with his money. Why do you worry so much?"
"Humph, I just can't stand it. He gambles with his parents' hard-earned money. If I had such a son, I would slap him to death."
"Come on, you also come to gamble with your family's money. As the eldest, don't scold the second. Just watch the fun honestly."
"I … I am gambling on stones, not gambling."
…
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. Ding Ning's provocation made the crowd burst into an uproar. They looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
A person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. During this time, Master Mo had indeed earned enough fame by taking actions several times. There were few people in the stone-gambling circle who had not heard of Master Mo's prestige.
Ding Ning's disdainful provocation made the crowd put him in the list of rich prodigals. Even several appraisers secretly smiled bitterly and shook their heads. "This young man really overestimates his capability."
Even Mr. Liu shook his head and sighed, thinking that Ding Ning was a little too arrogant. He was very grateful to Ding Ning for selling the Seven-Star Grass to him at that time and wanted to admonish him, but seeing Ding Ning's indifferent look, he could not say anything more. He only hoped that Ding Ning could have great luck and cut out valuable jade.
"In this case, the game officially starts now. The time limit is half an hour. Childe Ding and Master Mo will each choose three raw stones. We will cut them and judge them on the spot."
Seeing that Ding Ning still insisted on the bet despite knowing Master Mo's reputation, Childe Liu instantly felt ecstatic and announced loudly for fear of any change.
Although Master Mo was very afraid of Ding Ning, he was not timid when it came to stone-gambling. Immediately, he clasped his hands behind his back and swaggered to choose the raw stones.
Ding Ning calmly followed him. Before, he had basically checked all the raw stones, so he knew which raw stones could increase in value by gambling. He also gave these raw stones that could increase in value by gambling according to their data value.
He was very curious about what means Master Mo had and how he dared to be called a stone-gambling master.
While he pretended to choose the Raw Gemstones, he secretly paid attention to Master Mo's actions.
Master Mo stood for a while in front of each raw stone unhurriedly, as if he was observing according to his experience. He really looked like a stone-gambling master. After a while, he picked out the first raw stone and asked someone to move it to the stone-cutting machine.
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat. "This Master Mo does have some skills. That raw stone can increase in value by gambling, and it is the raw stone he marked as No. 8."
"Is this guy also a superpower holder and can see what is in the raw stone?"
Ding Ning suddenly became nervous. While paying attention to Master Mo, he pretended to be undecided and walked to the No. 1 raw stone with the highest data value. After hesitating for a long time, he hesitantly asked someone to move the No. 1 raw stone away.
At this time, Master Mo looked at several more raw stones and came to a raw stone that had not been numbered by Ding Ning. After observing it for a while, he asked someone to move the raw stone away.
Ding Ning felt relieved. "It seems that Master Mo really has a way to see whether there is jade in the raw stone, but he can't judge what kind of jade it is. Otherwise, he will not choose this raw stone."
There was indeed jade in this raw stone, and it was not small, but its data value was surprisingly low. Ding Ning estimated that it should be the least valuable dry white jade.
Even if such a dry white jade was cut out, the price would be the same as that of the raw stone at most, which was neither a loss nor a profit.
But even so, it was very amazing that he could see which raw stone contained jade. Such an ability was enough to deserve the title of Master Mo.
This made Ding Ning more and more curious. "What means did Master Mo use to accurately judge that there is jade in the raw stone?" It should be known that the raw stone was something that even spiritual strength could not see through. Even if he was a spiritual master, it was impossible for him to see which raw stone contained jade.
"Third Eye, open!"
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Ding Ning must figure out Master Mo's secret. He quietly opened the Third Eye, and Master Mo's every move could no longer be hidden.
At this time, Master Mo was squatting in front of an empty raw stone, pretending to observe it carefully. A glimmer that was invisible to the naked eye jumped out of his nostrils and went into the raw stone.
After a while, the glimmer jumped out of the stone and went back into Master Mo's body. Then he continued to look at the next raw stone.
Ding Ning suddenly understood. "The Natal Gu of Master Mo turned out to be a Poisonous Stone Louse Gu. No wonder he could see which raw stone contained jade but couldn't judge the quality of jade."
The Poisonous Stone Louse Gu was extremely rare. It was a Gu cultivated by putting more than 100 kinds of poisonous insects in a Gu vessel and letting them kill each other, and the last surviving Gu must be a stone louse.
The Poisonous Stone Louse Gu could not be born according to the will of the Gu breeder. It could only be said that Master Mo was absolutely lucky to cultivate the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu, and the probability was even lower than that of winning the lottery of five million yuan.
It should be known that the stone louse had no good points except that it had a little toxicity and the talent of drilling into stones. It had no fighting capacity. It was a miracle that it could be the only survivor among more than 100 kinds of poisonous insects.
It could be said that in the world of Gu Masters, cultivating the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu was useless and was regarded as a useless Gu. Unexpectedly, Master Mo used the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu in stone gambling. He was indeed a talent.
What Ding Ning didn't know was that when Master Mo found that the Natal Gu he cultivated with painstaking efforts turned out to be the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu, he almost fainted. After being known by his peers, he was ridiculed in all kinds of ways, which made him feel ashamed.
If he had not been unable to gather enough poisonous insects to refine the Natal Gu, he planned to cut off the connection with the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu even if he suffered the backlash.
Unexpectedly, he left the Demon Cult in frustration and wandered around. When he collected poisonous insects, he encountered people who gambled on stones. Then, he had a brainwave and thought of using the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu to make money by stone gambling. ,
Nie Fan, who had a good relationship with him when he was in the Demon Cult, contacted him and wanted to ask him to come to Ninghai to help, so he accepted the invitation and came to Ninghai.
Nie Fan invited him to come because he valued his ability to cast poisonous insects, but he did not expect that his Natal Gu turned out to be the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu, which made Nie Fan very disappointed. After all, the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu had no lethality at all and was just a useless Gu.
But when he learned that the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu could drill into the raw stone and judge whether there was jade in it, his disappointment immediately turned into envy, and he joined hands with Master Mo to make a lot of money in the Fantastic Stones Shop.
Unfortunately, the Poisonous Stone Louse Gu did not have any intelligence. It could only give feedback to Master Mo on whether there was jade in the raw stone, but it could not judge whether the jade was valuable or not. This was also the reason why Master Mo could not guarantee that he would make a profit by gambling.
But this kind of ability was enough for him to make a lot of money in the stone gambling industry. Then, he was praised by some childes who liked to play stone gambling and treated him like an ancestor. He drank good wine, ate big meals, lived in a mansion, drove a luxury car, and played with beautiful women. He had long forgotten himself and regarded himself as a real stone gambling master.
After seeing through Master Mo's secret, Ding Ning didn't take him seriously anymore. After Master Mo chose the third one, Ding Ning confidently chose two raw stones without jade.
