The Gambling Stone Academy is extremely grand. The raw stones used for the examinations are all purchased by the school and piled up in the Gambling Stone Square.
The square was very large and filled with raw materials, looking extremely spectacular. Qu Lingyuan stood with some other people taking the exam, waiting for the teacher to explain the rules.
The teacher stood on a high platform in the square with a megaphone in his hand.
"Dear students, the gambling stone exam is about to begin. Principal Doti will now read out the exam rules."
Principal Dottie's real name is Mary Dottie, Logar's mother. Her original surname was not Dottie, but she changed it after she got married.
Mary is a ninth-level stone gambler in the Stone Gambling Guild. The upper limit of her level is ten, a level that only the supreme ruler can reach.
She was an extremely beautiful and gentle female orc. She shook her tail gently and took the loudspeaker from the teacher.
"Dear students, the rules of this exam are simple. You only need to remain quiet and not talk to other students. Pick out five pieces of rough stones of your choice within two hours to complete the exam. The more you bet, the better your score. We will select the top 300 students based on their written exam scores to enter the Gambling Stone Academy."
"The teachers at the Gambling Stone Academy are very busy. As per usual practice, we have invited several elders from the Gambling Stone Guild to supervise this exam. We hope everyone will not violate the exam rules."
Qu Lingyuan raised her eyebrows.
There is no fixed standard score line, which means she cannot use estimated scores to lower the score line.
Moreover, if there are many big names in this class, many students with average abilities will be eliminated.
The admission standards of the Gambling Stone Academy are indeed abnormal.
Mary repeated the rules again, but Qu Lingyuan didn't continue listening. She just stared at the clock on the platform that was spinning unsteadily.
The exam started on time at 2:30, and as soon as the pointer reached the mark, she stepped forward.
There are at least a thousand freshmen taking the exam. If you don't go to the raw material pile early, you can't be sure who will be lucky enough to pick up the good materials.
As soon as she approached the pile of wool, Qu Lingyuan felt a powerful energy. This energy did not make her feel uncomfortable, and she even squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
But now is obviously not the time for her to enjoy it.
She walked quickly to the pile of raw materials, squatted down and tried to touch it with her hand, but felt nothing.
Confused, she touched another piece and felt a warmth surrounding her fingertips.
After pretending to look through several woolen materials, she finally picked out the one that felt the warmest and put it on her cart.
She tripped and looked down, and saw a special piece of wool.
This piece of raw material has a window, and you can vaguely see the ink color inside the window.
The jade in this world, the more water content and the darker the color, the stronger the energy. She picked up the rough stone with a look of joy on her face, but did not feel any energy.
He frowned, shone the flashlight towards the window, and saw a barely perceptible crack.
This is no wonder. Once a piece of jade has too many cracks, it will gradually lose its energy.
Just looking at this jade through the window, it is difficult to tell whether the cracks have eaten into it. If they have not eaten into it, the value will rise sharply, but if they have eaten into it, the value will collapse.
So gambling on stones means one cut can make you rich or poor.
But she couldn't feel any energy, so she must have eaten it.
Shaking his head regretfully and putting down the wool, Qu Lingyuan pushed the cart forward.
When a classmate who came later saw the regret on her face, he picked up the wool curiously and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Was that person just now a fool? He didn't even want the black jade?
The man quietly moved the large piece of raw material into his cart as if he had found a great bargain.
Mary, sitting on the high platform, watched with great interest through the telescope.
She put this piece of black jade rough material in there on purpose to test whether the students were careful enough. Obviously, the girl in front was more suitable to be a stone gambler.
Standing next to Mary was an elder of the Gambling Stone Guild. His name was Sauron, and he was Chris's master.
"This little orc is quite good." Zoro commented while stroking his beard.
He is not young anymore, at least Qu Lingyuan's grandfather.
Mary nodded and said gently, "It's a good seedling."
Zoro came, and Chris also came to watch the freshman entrance examination.
Listening to Mary and Zoro's praise, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the petite figure in the audience.
There didn't seem to be anything surprising, except that the face was extremely conspicuous.
Sauron showed the piece of raw material to Cockles in advance. Even she could not escape the temptation of the black jade in the window. When Sauron asked her if she wanted to gamble, she said the word "yes".
Feeling like she was being outdone, Chris wasn't very happy and lowered her head with her lips pursed.
Qu Lingyuan picked out five pieces of raw material at a slow pace from the stage.
Although she could feel the temperature from the jade energy, she did not know the quality represented by this temperature.
After careful consideration, she chose a piece of wool with no energy.
If you have good grades, you are a genius. If you have too good grades... you are a monster. She doesn't want to be a monster.
After selecting the raw materials, she pushed her cart to line up next to the stone calciner and waited quietly for two hours to pass.
There were many stone-breaking machines, but there were already a lot of people queuing near each one. When the exam was over, she was right in the middle of the line.
Someone in the front of the team had already started to cut the stone, and from time to time there were sighs of regret and cheers of joy. Qu Lingyuan did not look around like other students, but stood there calmly waiting.
Other people's grades have no impact on her.
A perfect score on the written test, a five-yuan bet and a four-yuan increase. If this score doesn't allow you to enter the Gambling Stone Academy, then no one present here will be able to enter.
The stone-cutting master of this team was a plump female orc. When she saw Qu Lingyuan's pretty face and her body which was more delicate than that of an average person, her voice unconsciously became softer.
"Which piece should we solve first?"
"This...this one." Qu Lingyuan hurriedly took out a piece of raw material from the cart, staggering a little.
Eve was a very shy child and would blush when talking to strangers. Qu Lingyuan also had some of this attitude, with rosy cheeks.
"Okay." The stone-cutting master took the rough material and placed it under the stone-cutting machine skillfully.
Qu Lingyuan took out the piece of raw material without energy. After a few cuts by the master, it turned into a white piece.
A small laugh came from behind. Qu Lingyuan bit her lips timidly and said nothing, then brought out another piece of wool.
"I don't think she can produce any jade." The person behind her whispered softly. She was the one who picked up the black jade. She deliberately stood behind Qu Lingyuan to laugh at her.
Master Jie Shi looked at the dejected look on Qu Lingyuan's face and couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't be sad, you're still young."
Qu Lingyuan smiled shyly at her: "Thank you, I'm fine."
