C374 Ocular margin (1/2)

This rugged mountain road that led to Stone Gambling Venue wasn't very long, it was only about three to four kilometers away.

However, Ye Qian had always been curious as to why the Yunnan would arrange this kind of large-scale gathering place on top of a mountain peak. This kind of place where famous people would gather on such a large scale, wasn't it more reasonable and rational to place it at the foot of the mountain?

”Xiao Ya, do you know why the Yunnan was placed at the top of the mountain and not at the bottom?” Ye Qian still could not suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked the little girl called Xiao Ya beside him.

Xiao Ya tilted her head, thought and said: ”This mountain is originally called Cuiping Mountain. It was said that the officials of the Yunnan started construction in the last year to develop the tourism economy here, and built a set of Stone Gambling Venue on the mountain! ”

”Last year?” Ye Qian turned his head to the side and looked at Liu Mingmei: ”So beautiful, weren't the previous years' Stone Gambling Venue here?”

Liu Mingmei smiled and nodded: ”Yes, the Stone Gambling Venue from last year is not here. Instead, it's in a small town called Sichuan, which is located more than a hundred kilometers to the south of the Yunnan. I don't know what's going on this year, but the authorities suddenly released information that transferred the Stone Gambling Venue here! ”

Pausing, Liu Mingmei continued: ”Perhaps it is just as Xiao Ya said, for the sake of developing this area's tourism economy! After all, in Yunnan, other than the ores, only the tourism industry was slightly better. Furthermore, to create a Stone Gambling Venue on a mountain, that would be extremely beneficial! ”

It was obvious that under Liu Mingmei's explanation, the local officials of Yunnan had seized this opportunity to take advantage of Liu Mingmei's situation and amass private funds.

However, to Ye Qian, it looked even more strange.

Even if we have to develop our tourism industry, even if we have to make ends meet, isn't it fine to just pick a random place near the Green Mountain where we can build our stone gambling venues?” Why must it be built on a mountain? Furthermore, the ore weighed at least a thousand pounds or at least a hundred pounds. It would take a lot of effort and effort to bring these things up the mountain. The local officials could not even think of such a thing!

No matter how he thought about it, Ye Qian still felt that this matter was extremely strange, but he couldn't come to a conclusion based on it.

Along the way, not long after, Ye Qian and his group saw a building that took up quite a bit of space on the mountain peak.

Although it couldn't be said to be towering like the clouds, it was definitely magnificent.

Following the stream of people, the group of people quickly entered Stone Gambling Venue. There were security guards in the vicinity of the venue. Only after showing their identification cards would they be able to safely enter the venue.

After entering the auction house, Ye Qian looked around. The huge venue was divided into three parts. At the center, there were many stalls arranged in a neat row. All of them were filled with smiles as they looked at the people coming and going. Pieces of ore were arranged neatly in the center of the booth as if in order.

”Ye Qian, this is the free trade area. Buyers who failed to purchase Marker Stone in the Stone Gambling Venue would all come here to try their luck. ”Although the ores here are not the real Myanmar's old pit, their quality is still good!” Liu Mingmei explained to Ye Qian and introduced him.

Ye Qian nodded and replied.

Immediately after, Ye Qian released all of his consciousness out, revolving crazily, sensing the spirit qi seeping out from the various ores. Laughing, Ye Qian thought to himself: It seems like the spirit qi here is much better than Qing Yuan's!

Although Ye Qian had already entered the Dao Seeking Stage, and the Tao technique in his body was revolving, and the Spirit Qi could sell by itself, but his dantian continued to spin frantically, absorbing the Spirit Qi from the Stone Gambling Venue.

It was as if he had picked up a peach. He didn't want money, so of course he didn't want it for nothing.

Once again, Liu Mingmei raised her hand and said to a building at the east side of the free trade area: ”Over there is the location of the Marker Stone. Presumably, all the big sellers that have ideas about the Marker Stone have already entered, let's observe the appearance of the Marker Stone closer!”

”What about the one on the west side? What kind of place is it?” Ye Qian continued to ask.

”The west side is the bidding room, and it's also the resting room of many big sellers!” Liu Mingmei said, and then looked at Ye Qian: ”Ye Qian, we're going to take a look at the Marker Stone later, do you want to go with us, or do you want to stay and play around in the free trade area?!”

It was obvious that Liu Mingmei was a very assertive person. Even though she knew about Ye Qian's talent in gambling, she did not want Ye Qian's views to dictate the direction of her group's Stone Gambling Assembly this time around. Since all the plans and preparations had been made, Liu Mingmei would strictly execute them in that direction. This could also be considered as Liu Mingmei's obsession with work!

Therefore, when Liu Mingmei said this to Ye Qian, he had a slightly apologetic expression.

Ye Qian was clever, and immediately understood what Liu Mingmei meant, and immediately said: ”I will not be looking at those Marker Stone, since there are too many people fighting over them, there is no point. Just leave the little girl Xiao Ya to me. This place is too big. I'm afraid that I'll get lost and leave a small tour guide by my side. I don't need to worry! ”

Liu Mingmei nodded, and smiled sweetly at Ye Qian: ”Then, you can take a stroll yourself. I'll call you over at lunch time!”

After saying that, Liu Mingmei walked towards the room where the Marker Stone was without even turning her head around.

Looking at Liu Mingmei's back figure from afar, Ye Qian said with a bland smile, ”What a lightning-fast woman. But a woman who works wholeheartedly is really quite handsome! ”

”Hehe, big brother, do you like big sister Liu?” Xiao Ya smiled mischievously, and asked Ye Qian.

Although it had only been an hour or so since he had interacted with Ye Qian, it seemed as if Ye Qian had a very intimate power. This made Xiao Ya, who was beside him, feel very comfortable, and was very willing to be together with him. Furthermore, being with him gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

Ye Qian heard Xiao Ya's teasing, and immediately pinched the tip of her nose: ”Kids, what do you mean like it or not! ”Truly a small fry!”

Xiao Ya stuck out her tongue in dissatisfaction: ”Hmph, I am already fourteen years old, and big brother is only four years older than me.”

Ye Qian stared blankly, then asked curiously: ”How do you know how old I am?”
