Chapter 41: Dissecting Rocks
Translator: SkyfarrowEditor: Skyfarrow
”I want to purchase some rocks.” Having picked his targets, Fang Yuan said to the female Gu Master.
“Newbie!” The female Gu Master immediately thought.
Even the shittiest gamblers would pay very close observation when they wanted to buy the rocks. First they would look carefully, then place the stones in their palms and rub to feel the surface and its weight. Even after such actions, if they find that the feeling is off, they would give up. No one would say ‘purchase’ at the start.
And for such a type like Fang Yuan, who said ‘purchase’ upfront, he is undeniably a newbie who is having his first rock gambling experience.
Although the female Gu Master thought this, she did not show any difference in her expression, but continued to smile like a flower, saying softly to Fang Yuan, ”Then which piece are you choosing?”
Fang Yuan pointed and said, ”This piece.”
She immediately retrieved it.
Fang Yuan pointed again and said, ”This piece.”
She felt perplexed, not expecting this youngster to buy two pieces.
“It seems like this youngster is the type to gamble heavily,” she evaluated mentally.
But next, Fang Yuan pointed yet again, ”And this piece, that piece, I'm buying them all.”
The female Gu Master was stunned, feeling extremely surprised, she could not help but assess Fang Yuan again.
“It seems like this ordinary looking youngster has a really good family background. Otherwise, how would any ordinary Gu Master have the spare cash to spend like this?” Thinking of it, the female Gu Master's smile became more gentle and friendly. To think that the youngster in front of her was a real customer.
This was an unexpected joy!
However, Fang Yuan surprised her once again as he pointed to the furthest purple gold rock, ”Oh yeah, and those two pieces as well.”
The female Gu Master could not help but feel shocked internally, “Which young master is this from the Gu Yue Village? It looks like he's the main family branch's inheritor. If I can hook up with him, I may not need to stay here and slog as a shop clerk anymore.”
With this thought, the female Gu Master's smile became even more gentle and she even looked towards Fang Yuan seductively.
Six rocks were placed in front of Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan took out sixty primeval stones and passed it to the female Gu Master.
His act of payment attracted the attention of all the other Gu Masters in the tent.
”Oh? Someone is going to rock gamble.”
”We've been watching for over an hour, but we haven't acted yet. Now that someone is giving it a try, we might as well watch.”
”It's a student, he actually took out sixty primeval rocks at once, his family must be affluent. He looks like a greenhorn, hmph, gambling rocks isn't so easy. He's gonna get hurt real bad.”
The Gu Masters stood on the spot, discussing softly, all directing their gaze towards Fang Yuan.
”Young master, do you want to open the rocks on the spot? Our gambling den provides free service to open the rocks.” The female Gu Master gently advised, sending seductive glances with her eyes.
Fang Yuan used the corner of his eye to take a look at the crowd, his lips curling into a mysterious smile. He waved his hand, rejecting the female Gu Master. ”Purple gold is my lucky color, and this is my first time betting, it is very meaningful. I'll open the rocks myself!”
The female Gu Master's eyes shone brighter, thinking, this heroic demeanour, as expected of a rich young master.
Never in her dreams would she be able to imagine that Fang Yuan could be said to be kinless in Gu Yue village, a drifter with no backing, having to rely on himself for everything.
”Tsk, so what if you have money.”
”I wonder which rich kid this is, coming here to waste his parent's hard earned money!”
”Ignorant young lad, how can one choose the rocks based on lucky color, sigh, this act is simply akin to throw primeval stones into the water, and waiting to see the ripples for fun.”
The Gu Masters in the tent lost their excitement at once. After thinking that Fang Yuan was a prodigal son, their already low expectations vanished into thin air.
Some Gu Masters even retracted their gaze and turn around to continue inspecting the fossils on the counter.
The changes to his surroundings did not affect Fang Yuan's state of mind at all. He expressionlessly activated the primeval essence within his primeval sea, pouring it into the Moonlight Gu.
