The scene suddenly fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, a series of vomiting sounds occurred.
"Fuck! Are you fucking sick? Using a pile of dog shit as a signboard! You're crazy trying to advance!"
"Ugh! Get this guy out of here! If you look at him one more time, I'm going to throw up my leftover food."
"I was wondering why I smelled shit. Turns out this guy was carrying dog shit on his body. What a weird hobby!"
…
Everyone attacked Deng Cong in unison, wishing they could wipe him out of their sight as soon as possible.
Deng Cong looked at the "wooden sign" in his hand and felt something was wrong. Why did these people say he was holding dog shit? This was clearly the wooden sign he hired someone to steal from Zheng Feibai.
He pinched it subconsciously, and in the eyes of everyone, it seemed like he was playing with shit in public.
Suddenly, there was another sound of vomiting.
The two yamen runners suppressed their nausea and went forward to drag him out.
Deng Cong didn't understand what was happening from beginning to end.
However, the label of "likes to play with shit" is firmly attached to him.
"Mr. Deng, it's really hard for you to be brothers with such a person." Someone cast a sympathetic look at Deng Xun.
In the past, they only knew that Deng Cong bullied men and women and did not care about human affairs. Now they know that this guy actually has such a disgusting hobby.
Deng Xun did not show any gloating. Instead, he took the opportunity to show off, bowing and apologizing for his brother who had ruined everyone's mood, and won the favor of many people.
After this incident, Deng Xun's position as the head of the family became more secure, but Deng Cong had no chance of turning things around.
After all forty-eight contestants had entered the arena, the referee announced the rules of the competition: "The rules of this competition are: each person draws a lot. Those with the same lot will be divided into two groups, and the winner will advance, and the loser will be eliminated. All the raw materials in the arena are available for selection. The time limit is also one incense stick. Now, come here and draw your lots."
Xue Huan raised her eyebrows. If that was the case, then whether one could advance or not would not only depend on gambling stone skills, but also on luck, and luck might even be more crucial.
For example, there are two groups of people, Group A: Zhang San, Li Si; Group B: Zhang Guan, Li Dai.
Zhang San from Group A opened a piece of ice jadeite, and Li Si opened a water jadeite which was a bit worse, so Li Si would be eliminated.
In Group B, Zhang Guan opened a clear water field, while Li Dai opened a much worse bean green field, so naturally Zhang Guan won.
In fact, although there is only one word difference between Qingshuidi and Shuidi, their values are actually far less. Li Si's Shuidi is obviously more valuable than Zhang Guan's Qingshuidi, but because of the grouping, Li Si was eliminated and Zhang Guan advanced.
It was Xue Huan's turn to draw lots, and she drew the "Han" lot.
There are a total of forty-eight bamboo sticks, and the inscriptions on the sticks are the first six sentences from the "Thousand Character Classic": The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless, the sun and the moon are waxing and waning, the stars are lined up, winter comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores.
Each character corresponds to one lot, and then the process repeats starting from the 25th lot.
Those who drew the same lot were divided into a group.
"I drew the 'Chen' character, what about you?"
"Who drew the 'winter' lottery?"
"God bless me and I must not be put in the same group with the little gambling king, otherwise I will be eliminated for sure."
The little gambling king that everyone is talking about is Bai Haochen, the eldest son of the Bai family. Although the Bai family was originally suppressed by the Deng family, it is also a well-known jade family in Yujing City, and its foundation is even better than the Deng family.
With such a family background, coupled with Bai Haochen's handsome appearance and excellent skills in gambling on stones, these several conditions combined earned him the title of "Little Gambling King".
He is clearly a leader among the younger generation in the gambling stone industry.
Everyone was afraid to confront him.
Xue Huan was just about to ask who the other person who drew the "Han" sign was when she saw Bai Haochen looking at her with an unfriendly look, which also contained a hint of provocation and contempt.
He immediately showed his fortune stick: "I drew the 'Han' sign. Who wants to be in a group with me?"
Although he asked this, his eyes were clearly looking at Xue Huan, as if he had already known that his opponent was her.
Xue Huan raised her eyebrows. It seemed like there was something fishy about the drawing of lots.
The others looked around, trying to figure out who the little gambling king's opponent was.
When Xue Huan stood up, everyone looked at her with sympathy and relief. Zheng Feibai was worried, but Tang Yu, the only one present who knew how high Xue Huan's chance of getting jadeite when gambling on stones, sympathized with Bai Haochen.
Because he had already anticipated that Bai Haochen would be eliminated.
When the referee struck the gong and announced the start of the second round, everyone quickly dispersed and took the time to select the raw materials.
Bai Haochen walked past Xue Huan and said, "I advise you to admit defeat now, because your opponent is me, and you are destined to lose."
Xue Huan's mouth twitched. Did this Mr. Bai graduate from the ultimate middle school class? He could even deliver such a ridiculously middle school line. She felt ashamed for him.
However, the speaker himself doesn't seem to think so at all. He even thinks he is very handsome, and the way he walks seems to be reaching the sky.
But there was a large group of people outside the venue cheering for them.
"Ah, Mr. Bai is so handsome! I'm going to faint!"
"Mr. Bai will win!"
"Mr. Bai, look at me!"
A group of women, both young and old, screamed enthusiastically, like modern star-chasers.
It seems that no matter what era it is, the fan group is indispensable.
In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, a girl wearing a veil was standing by the window. A teardrop-shaped jadeite as bright as blood hung between her eyebrows, making her skin look as white as snow. It was Liu Xuelian, the girl Lian'er who wanted to buy the pink jadeite from Xue Huan in the morning.
At the same time, she is also Bai Haochen's fiancée.
In ancient times, cousins were most likely to pair up, and Bai Haochen and Liu Xuelian were one of them.
Bai Haochen waved to Liu Xuelian, and Liu Xuelian nodded modestly. The forehead ornament shone even more dazzlingly under the sunlight.
Those female fans thought Bai Haochen was waving at them, and their screams became louder, almost breaking through the sky.
Faced with this situation, Xue Huan couldn't help but feel like she had walked into the wrong set.
She shook her head, walked past Bai Haochen, and concentrated on selecting the wool materials on the field.
Once the jade is unearthed, it will be hers, so she naturally has to choose it carefully.
There were too many raw materials in the square, probably tens of thousands of them. Xue Huan was not able to scan them all with her spiritual sense in the morning, and only looked at a part of them. Although there were a few pieces of good quality, she could not guarantee that she could win over Bai Haochen.
Regardless of whether Bai Haochen is really capable or not, she has to give it her all. Underestimating the opponent is the most foolish thing to do.
There are always people better than you, and she always keeps this in mind.
So she must find a piece of jade that can make her invincible!
"Oh my god! Imperial green!"
"Mr. Bai is indeed worthy of being called the Little Gambling King. Only half of the game time has passed, and he actually won a piece of Imperial Green!"
"I think we should remove the 'little' from 'little gambling king'. Mr. Bai is truly the gambling king!"
"I knew Mr. Bai was the best!"
"This time Mr. Bai is sure to win!"
"Haha, look, number 981 is still busy selecting raw materials."
"Mr. Bai has already figured out the Imperial Green, why is he still picking on the raw materials? He should just admit defeat."
…
Bai Haochen's action of revealing the imperial green made everyone else feel nervous and anxious.
