Chapter 282 - Ancient Gambling Store (2/2)

The ground floor of the Ancient Gambling Store did not cover a huge area, being only a hundred meters square. The place was crowded with cultivators—more than a hundred of them—as they chatted with one another, resulting in a lively atmosphere. Besides that, many of the cultivators wore reddened faces and excited expressions. Some of them had twisted expressions instead, with their eyes reddened.

“Cultivators and seniors, let’s begin the second round of gold scraping for the day!”

At that instant, a long-robed elder appeared and said in a loud tone.

Following his words, a large cart was pushed out from behind him. On the cart were hundreds of fragments, all covered in obvious forbidding auras, causing all the fragments to look the same.

The elder continued to utter a yell, his voice full of provocation, “Here are a total of a thousand and two fragments, including thirty fragments of Emperor Weapons, which are placed inside the pile by the Trading Alliance; each has a value of at least two hundred Arcane Realm Stones! Besides that, the other fragments are all retrieved from various forbidden areas, hence there is a chance you might find fragments of Dominator Weapons among the pile, which means you have a chance of becoming a millionaire today!”

As soon as his speech finished, the crowd of cultivators rushed forward with lustful eyes.

“I’m buying! I’m buying! I’m buying the ninety-third fragment!”

“HAHA, I’ll be taking number eighty two, that’s gotta be it! It must be a fragment of an Emperor Weapon!”

“Quick quick quick, I want number seven hundred and fourteen! I can feel it’s my lucky star!”

“……”

The cultivators crazily bought the fragments they had set their eyes on, and in just less than the period it took for an incense to burn, the fragments were almost sold out.

Sima Kong looked at Qin Nan with high hopes and said, “What do you think?”

“Not promising; most of them are fake, and there is nothing too extraordinary. Most of the fragments of Emperor Weapons were bought by minions of the Trading Alliance.”

Qin Nan shook his head and wore a hysterical smile on his face.

He had already discovered a few cultivators among the crowd who only bought three to four pieces, but two of which were fragments of Emperor Weapons.

If one cultivator doing so could be considered a coincidence, were a few people doing the same thing still a mere coincidence?

If this is how the Trading Alliance treated their customers and self-acclaim to be fair and just, it is a total joke!

Sima Kong became enraged too, “You’re right, that’s how the Trading Alliance behaves. Let’s go, there’s no point staying on the ground floor, let’s head to the second floor!”

Now that Sima Kong was feeling super confident, his only thought was to earn a fortune from the store.

At that instant, a cultivator who had just bought ten fragments turned around after hearing their conversation, and snapped with a furious expression, “You with three black lines, why are you trying to defame the Trading Alliance? The Trading Alliance has always been fair and just. If you keep on uttering nonsense, make sure you stay away from me when you leave Jianghuang City!”

The cultivator was a Martial Emperor Realm expert.

He was extremely addicted to this kind of gamble at the Ancient Gambling Store, as he managed to buy a fragment of an Emperor Weapon at the very beginning, causing his confidence to skyrocket. Although he had tried his luck a few more times, and always ended up going home empty-handed, he still believed that it was his luck’s fault, instead of the Trading Alliance manipulating the chances of winning behind the scene.

Qin Nan’s footsteps came to a halt as he glanced at the person and said, “My friend, the ten fragments you just bought are all fakes.”

After saying this, the duo left the scene.

The cultivator glared.

Fakes?

How was that possible!

He believed that one of the fragments would definitely be a bullseye!

The cultivator clenched his teeth and brought the ten fragments to the place specifically setup to remove the forbidding auras on the fragments. When the process was completed, he was dumbfounded on the spot, Is this real?

At that instant, Qin Nan and Sima Kong had already arrived at the first floor.

As soon as they entered the first floor, a cold voice could be heard, “Qin Nan, right? You are not welcomed here at the Ancient Gambling Store. If you want to gamble and buy the fragments, you can do so by paying ten times the price!”
