Gambling on stones is like buying a lottery ticket, and Liu Zixuan agrees with this statement.
But everything has a pattern to follow. If someone can truly calculate lottery numbers, with a big data analysis, even if they don't win every time, they would at least win six out of ten times.
Stone gambling is even more so; a true expert can tap on the stone and listen to the sound, or scrape off some powder to examine it closely and find some clues.
Of course, Liu Zixuan doesn't need to go through such trouble.
Under the X-ray Vision, any treasure can't hide!
He smirked: "Let's go over and take a look, we're going to buy jade anyway."
"Buying jade should be done in a store; here... there's a lot of deception involved," Luo Xi advised Liu Zixuan based on her own experience.
Liu Zixuan chuckled playfully: "Let's just treat it as a game."
With that, he took Luo Xi and walked over, but before they reached the front, a few familiar figures appeared.
They were Fan Xingkong and Niu Laowu, who they had interacted with in the morning.
"What a coincidence, Celestial Capital City is so big, yet we meet again so soon!" Fan Xingkong immediately blocked Liu Zixuan's path with his men, saying with a half-smile.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, glanced at Fan Xingkong, then shifted his gaze to Niu Laowu sitting in a wheelchair nearby.
With his arms and legs crippled by Liu Zixuan, he now needed support even to sit in a wheelchair, looking utterly miserable.
He teased, "Looks like you haven't learned your lesson! I spared your life this morning, wasn't I merciful?"
"You!" Niu Laowu recalled the morning events and trembled with anger, but there was nothing he could do, feeling frustrated like swallowing broken teeth.
Fan Xingkong sneered, "Times have changed, now Niu Laowu is my man, if you want to touch him again, you'll need my permission!"
He stared at Liu Zixuan, saying with a cryptic tone, "I underestimated you this morning and thought of you as a fool. But don't get cocky, defeating Niu Laowu doesn't prove your capability."
"I, Fan Xingkong, am not that weak!"
"Oh, really?" Liu Zixuan's eyes iced over, speaking word by word, "But in my eyes, you are not even as good as trash!"
"Are you mad?" Fan Xingkong was momentarily stunned by Liu Zixuan's chilling eyes, then averted his gaze, laughing, "Being mad is useless, I'm not like them, only knowing how to fight."
"Oh? Then how do you plan to compete with me?" Liu Zixuan asked curiously.
"I will use every means to crush you under my feet!" Fan Xingkong finished coldly, pointing at the stones in front, "Why not start with these? Treat it as an appetizer between us?"
"I'm afraid you'll lose everything!" Liu Zixuan laughed teasingly.
"Hmph!"
Fan Xingkong snorted as he walked to the truck, pointing at the stones, "Liu Zixuan, we each pick a stone, and see who finds treasure inside. If mine has treasure and yours doesn't, you lose."
"And if both have treasures?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Then we'll see whose treasure is worth more!"
Liu Zixuan nodded, "Since that's how we'll compare, there should be a bet, otherwise it would be too boring!"
"Of course, and it should be a big one."
Fan Xingkong turned to the boss and asked, "How much are these stones on the truck worth in total?"
"At least five million," the boss didn't hold back, looking at the two rivals, he directly quoted a price several times his cost!
Fan Xingkong didn't mind and said, "No problem, Liu Zixuan, our bet is whoever loses buys this whole truck of stones."
"I thought you were going to come up with some new tricks!" Liu Zixuan mocked, "Deal!"
"Great, pick your stone, you can only choose once, no backing out!" Fan Xingkong declared.
Liu Zixuan crossed his arms, "You're ugly, you pick first!"
"You'll be crying soon enough!"
Fan Xingkong glared at Liu Zixuan, then turned around to carefully examine the stones.
"Does Brother Xingkong seem very confident?" Niu Laowu asked the big guy next to him.
The big guy smiled smugly, whispering, "Do you know how Brother Xingkong made his fortune?"
"No idea." Niu Laowu shook his head.
"Brother Xingkong spent six or seven years flipping these kinds of stones back then, and after finding several pieces of jade from them, he went from a small street boss to where he is now."
The big guy glanced over at Liu Zixuan and laughed disdainfully, "Playing with stones, Brother Xingkong is hundreds of times better than that Liu Zixuan. He's just waiting to lose money and embarrass himself!"
"I'd love to see Liu Zixuan embarrassed too, after what he did to me. I'd love nothing more than for him to be crushed by these stones!" Niu Laowu, hearing this, was full of confidence.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Xi tugged at Liu Zixuan's sleeve, "Are you really sure? That's five million!"
Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, I won't be the one taking this five million!"
"I really don't know what gave you such confidence," Luo Xi was feeling uneasy. She could only silently pray for Liu Zixuan's good luck in finding a good stone.
Otherwise, that's five million, enough to bankrupt her, even with her studios and shops, she couldn't earn that much in a year!
After about three or four minutes, Fan Xingkong's eyes suddenly lit up, he picked a stone about the size of a basketball from the pile.
After examining it carefully in his hand, he turned around and smiled, "This is it! Liu Zixuan, your turn to pick!"
Liu Zixuan nodded slightly, walked to the truck, and started looking at the peculiar-shaped stones of different sizes, unlike those uniform ones in stores.
He activated his X-ray Vision, quickly scanning through the stones, finally resting his gaze on a stone about the size of a palm. He casually picked it up.
The whole process took less than a minute!
Seeing this, Fan Xingkong burst into exaggerated laughter.
"Hahaha, Liu Zixuan, you're bound to lose, even experts take at least a few minutes to determine if there's jade inside, yet you took less than a minute. Even if you want to gamble, you should be cautious, after all, it's five million!"
Liu Zixuan weighed the stone in his hand, "Against you, this stone is enough!"
"Such arrogance! When our Brother Xingkong was playing with stones, you were probably at home playing with mud. Really, who gave you the confidence to be so self-assured!"
Before Fan Xingkong could speak, the big guy beside him chimed in.
Moreover, the boss whispered, "Brother, I advise you to pick another one; this stone's quality is average and may not have a treasure."
