Chapter 28 – I Just Like It Big!

The large man who had spoken a bit to Ji Fengyan before was the only person on the scene who broke out in a sweat for her!

Su Lingsheng looked at Ji Fengyan, the depths of her eyes flashing with a trace of smugness . She then let the shop’s boss appropriately prepare the stones that they were to chose from . All of them were of different sizes, with some being as small as a quail egg while there were also large stones about half the height of a man .

“I also won’t be too rough on you . This bet won’t take anything else into consideration besides how high the value of the opened stone is . How about it?” Su Lingsheng arrogantly looked at Ji Fengyan .

“Sure . ” She shrugged .

Su Lingsheng lightly laughed as the bystanders whispered to each other .

While Su Lingsheng looked as if she was being fair, there was a hidden trap in it . Although the difference between these big and small stones seemed extremely large, the real amount of ores opened still had to be seen . Most importantly, it didn’t matter if the ores opened was comparable in size to each other . If there was a difference in their grades, then the price would be as far as the distance between heaven and earth .

As an old hand in stone gambling, Su Lingsheng naturally knew which rare ores were worth the most . Conversely, the observing Ji Fengyan would probably not have that much of an understanding .

“For our gamble, to prevent people from saying that I’m bullying you, I can let you choose first . ” Acting in a virtuous manner, Su Lingsheng looked at Ji Fengyan with a smile on her lips .

Sweeping an eye at Su Lingsheng, Ji Fengyan didn’t decline and directly stepped forward to stand in front of those different sized stones .

Her gazed moved about through those stone, sliding over the ones with unusual outer shells . The stones that the shop’s boss had prepared were encapsulated very tightly . Wanting to find what was inside these stones just by looking at it’s outside appearance was basically impossible .

At this moment, everybody watched Ji Fengyan . All of them were clear that in stone gambling, it was not the one who chose first that had the advantage, instead it was a disadvantage . Especially when facing an old hand like Su Lingsheng . From which stone her opponent chose first, she would be able to clearly judge what the ore’s price was and thus select an even higher priced stone later .

Everyone was extremely clear of this little bit . Only, no one would take the risk of offending Su Lingsheng to help a unfamiliar girl .

Ji Fengyan turned a circle around those stones . Finally, she stopped in front of the biggest stone .

The height of that stone was almost comparable to the height of Ji Fengyan’s body, looking quite enormous .

Her small hands lightly patting that stone, Ji Fengyan lifted her head and cheerfully smiled as she looked at Su Lingsheng . “I choose this one . ”

Su Lingsheng was a little bit stupefied, using a bizarre gaze to look at Ji Fengyan . “You’re certain?”

Ji Fengyan decisively nodded her head .

Revealing a sneer at the corners of her lips, Su Lingsheng didn’t say anything else . She simply signalled the shop’s boss standing off to the side to mark the stone in red and clearly show that it was Ji Fengyan’s choice .

As those observers saw Ji Fengyan unexpectedly choose the biggest stone of the entire place, all of them uncontrollably shook their heads .

It was easy to tell that this girl was an amateur with one glance . Stone gambling never looked at how big a stone was, but what grade of ore was opened . Otherwise, no matter how big the stone was, if what was opened was iron or a very small amount of ore, there was also no value in it . Usually, the reason stones had a large bulk was because the outer stone layer was wrapped up even more thickly, making it far more difficult for someone to judge the stone’s attributes .
