"Did you hear that? The price of this top-grade rough stone is five million divine essences."
"These are the rough stones you picked out. You can't possibly not even have five million to spare, can you?"
The playful look on Li Daoshi's face deepened, and he said with a sneer,
"Let me make this clear from the start: if you can't come up with five million divine essences to buy this stone, then you'll automatically lose your bet with me!"
Chen Xuan did not speak. He continued to place his hand on the pitted stone, carefully sensing it using the Law of Earth combined with the Law of Creation.
Inside the stone, he could still sense a hazy, oval-shaped object that wasn't cold but rather had a faint warmth.
Could it be that the thing inside is a living creature?
Chen Xuan frowned slightly. Trapped inside the stone, becoming a tool for gambling on stones, how could he possibly survive?
This situation surprised him somewhat, as he had never seen it before.
However, it was precisely because of Chen Xuan's frown that everyone thought he couldn't produce the Divine Source, hence his expression.
"Haha, look at this kid, he's actually frowning here. Could it be that he can't come up with five million divine sources?"
"Nonsense, is that even a question? Someone who can produce five million divine source stones at once is considered a small-time family; ordinary people can't afford that!"
"Hahaha, since this kid can't produce five million divine sources, then this bet will automatically be declared his loss!"
"How do you think Young Master Li will punish him? It's really hard to guess!"
"Haha, either strip naked and parade through the streets holding a sign that says I'm an idiot, or hang upside down on the city wall for a month and lose all face."
“Young Master Li is a man of considerable standing, and he’s all about prestige. This kid is lucky to have met someone who won’t kill him. If he had encountered a more hot-tempered jade gambler who would have risked his life for him, he would have been doomed.”
"Look, this kid is still frowning here, he's so slow."
"Hey kid, why don't you just kneel down and kowtow three times to Young Master Li? Don't waste everyone's time here."
More and more of the onlookers began to show mocking expressions.
"Boy, you think you can get away with playing dead? This young master's time is precious, and I don't have time to waste here with you."
"I'll count to ten. If you still can't come up with five million divine essences to buy this gambling stone, then you've lost."
Li Daoshi's face showed impatience. In his opinion, he was already very confident of winning this bet.
In his eyes, Chen Xuan was nothing more than a stubborn poor boy!
"ten!"
"Nine!"
He didn't intend to give Chen Xuan a chance to breathe and immediately started the countdown.
At this moment, all sorts of cold stares surged towards Chen Xuan like a tide.
"Why bother with the countdown? It's a complete waste of time."
“Look at this guy, he’s standing there motionless, like a zombie, he’s obviously scared out of his wits.”
"It's absolutely hilarious. They're broke but still trying to play high-level games."
"If you ask me, the gambling stone market should design a ranking system, and those who do not have 50 million divine sources should not be allowed to enter the top-grade gambling stone level."
"That's right. Just like the King Grade Stone Gambling Level, you need to be worth 10 billion Divine Sources to enter. The Top Grade Stone Gambling Level, you need to be worth at least 40 to 50 million Divine Sources to enter."
"Without setting any threshold, all sorts of random people can get in."
"Four, three, two, one!"
Just as everyone was discussing, Li Daoshi's countdown had reached its final second.
Chen Xuan withdrew his hand from the rock riddled with wormholes.
He was so focused on sensing what was inside the jade stone that he didn't hear anything from the outside.
Fortunately, he has now sensed what's inside this jade stone, and he roughly knows what it contains.
"Look, this kid has finally taken his hand off the stone."
"They couldn't keep up the act anymore, they knew they were doomed."
"Why bother? If he had admitted his mistake and begged for forgiveness earlier, and pleaded with Young Master Li to spare his life, perhaps Young Master Li would have been more magnanimous and wouldn't have made things too difficult for him. But now, well..."
Many people ridiculed him.
Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy right now, I will not let you go!
Li Daoshi sneered.
Chen Xuan immediately gave him a look as if he were an idiot. Is this guy out of his mind?
Or perhaps, after being flattered and praised so many times, he has become completely and utterly arrogant, truly believing himself to be unique and supreme?
"Here are five million divine sources. Please count them."
Chen Xuan casually tossed a storage bag containing five million divine source stones.
The person in charge of this floor was a quasi-god emperor. He immediately probed the storage bag with his divine sense and scanned it with a single thought. There were exactly five million divine sources, no more and no less!
"Young master, this jade stone is now yours."
The person in charge smiled and remained respectful.
"Really? He can produce five million divine source stones all at once?"
"But wasn't this kid hesitating the whole time?"
Many people were surprised to hear what the person in charge said.
I thought I was going to see Chen Xuan make a fool of himself by not being able to come up with the money.
To my utter surprise, he actually took it out?
"Manager Liu, are you sure there are five million Divine Sources in his storage bag?"
Li Daoshi spoke with a gloomy expression.
"Young Master Li, are you questioning me? Do you think I would protect him?"
Manager Liu, the person in charge, frowned slightly, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.
Li Daoshi quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, Manager Liu. I'm not questioning you. I just think this kid knows absolutely nothing about the jade gambling business and doesn't seem like someone who can come up with five million source stones."
"Well then, since I made a bet with him, I should be entitled to take a small share of his five million divine sources, right?"
Upon hearing this, Steward Liu became even more dissatisfied.
Saying such nonsense, isn't he subconsciously suspecting that this Manager Liu is protecting Chen Xuan?
For example, the storage bag is actually empty, but they deliberately say that there are five million divine sources.
Li Daoshi is challenging his authority.
If someone else had said that, he would have kicked them out immediately.
But Li Daoshi was, after all, the son of a Heavenly-level stone gambling master, who was also a Divine Emperor level expert, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Since Young Master Li wants to inspect it himself, then let me inspect it for you."
Manager Liu said indifferently, tossing over the storage bag containing the divine source for Li Daoshi to count.
