Chapter 74.3
Editor: Jodi
—#Gu Yun breaks the record again# and #Gu Yun’s 100% rise in bets# directly swept the top two hot searches, shocking countless people.
Many people who didn’t understand the situation began to doubt the authenticity of the matter.
A 100% rise in bets?! How was that possible??
It was even said that ‘it was hard for even a god to judge an inch of jadeite’, so nine out of ten bets would be collapses, so how could anyone have a 100% rise in bets??
Hence they immediately went to watch the replay, then returned silently with their faces covered.
It was really a 100% rise in bets!!
Although there were only five pieces of rough stone, it was still extremely astonishing; no one could achieve such a probability!
Of course, while they were astonished, they didn’t believe that Gu Yun could have had complete rise in bets if he’d had nine or ten pieces of rough stones to solve.
Because if that were true, then it would be truly terrifying——
So, this had also been Bai Jing’s consideration.
Whether it was the Stone Gambling Battle or the Jadeite Emporium, five pieces were the most appropriate number. It could shock everyone and gain popularity and prestige, yet wouldn’t be so exaggerated that it would arouse suspicion from everyone.
At the same time, it laid the groundwork for his future promotion.
Because after creating the highest rate of betting increase, even if he maintained an 80% or even 90% rate of betting increase from then on, others wouldn’t find it strange.
In the future, no one would break this record again, not even him.
***
Just after Bai Jing returned to the hotel, he received the latest data information from his light brain.
ID: 1053166247
Name: Bai Jing
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Identity: Citizen of the Galactic Empire
Genetic Rank: C
Physical Rank: A
Mental Power Level: 3S
[Skill Designation: Level Six Stone Gambler (Advanced)]
[Accumulated Points: 270]
[Rate of Betting Increase: 50.2%]
He had finally advanced to being a Level 6 Stone Gambler!!
At the same time, his name was also updated on the official website of the Gambling Guild.
In addition to the forty eight Senior Stone Gamblers in the Empire, his name was added: Gu Yun.
He had become the 49th Senior Stone Gambler in the entire Empire!
Gu Yun’s fans were the first to discover this news. Their idol had finally obtained his rightful rank and status and had joined the ranks of Senior Stone Gamblers successfully. This was simply well-deserved!!
Bai Jing received messages from the little fatty almost immediately afterwards, as ‘ding ding ding’ came one after the other incessantly.
[Jin Mao: Damn, a Level 6 Stone Gambler!! Jing Ge, you’re amazing!!]
[Jin Mao: Jing Ge, you were so awesome today!! That was a 100% rate of betting increase!!]
[Jin Mao: That piece of premium chicken yellow jadeite of the glass variety was just amazing!! I’ve never seen such a beautiful yellow jadeite before, and neither has my dad!!]
[Jin Mao: Jing Ge, the jadeite you recommended actually produced melon green jadeite of the ice variety, earning a whopping 10 million starcoins. Fuck, that was incredible!!]
[Jin Mao: Jing Ge, I love you so much!!!!]
Seeing the string of exclamation marks after each message, Bai Jing couldn’t help but smile helplessly, however his mood was very pleasant.
However for some reason, there had been no news from An Ge these past few days. Even the little fatty couldn’t reach him. They could only meet again after the Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium ended.
It was still early today, so Bai Jing logged on to Starnet to check the opening time of the secret bidding area at the Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium.
However to his surprise, as soon as he logged in, he was inundated with messages, all related to him.
Then remembering that Gu Yuanzhao seemed to have mentioned that there was someone helping him manage his Star Realm account, he searched for the name Gu Yun.
Then he was stunned by the terrifying number of fans below the name.
My God, there were over sixty million!!
This was much more than he had imagined.
Not to mention Bai Jing, even the Minister of Information, Liang Heng, was stunned by the speed of fan growth these past few days.
In just two days, it had increased by nearly thirty million fans!!
This growth rate was faster than a rocket!!
Causing Liang Heng to almost think that he was hallucinating, otherwise how could the number change by tens of thousands every time he refreshed? It seemed fake.
Moreover the private messages and comments of this account were exploding every day, all asking him to post jadeite pictures, post beautiful photos.
However he wasn’t on the scene.
Sigh, Minister Liang had to ask for help from Young Master Gu, who reluctantly took several high-definition pictures of the jadeites, otherwise he felt he would be devoured by these crazy fans!!
As for Bai Jing, after the initial surprise, he vaguely remembered that when the Level Six Stone Gambler Lu Yuan was live-streaming the unravelling of rough stones, the number of fans seemed to be over thirty million, close to forty million.
However he had never imagined that the number of his fans would actually be two million more than the other’s!!
Lu Yuan was a Senior Level Six Stone Gambler, one who was well-known for a long time, so he had thought to himself that it would be good if he could keep up at most.
But Bai Jing had really underestimated himself.
When he was still a Level Two Stone Gambler, he’d had top-quality rise in bet jadeites like imperial green glass, with no record of defeat in stone gambling battles;
Then his rate of betting increase kept increasing, and he unraveled the rare Fortuna tricolor jadeite of the water variety;
Then after that, in the points battle with the Level Six Stone Gambler Ying Wenfeng, he defeated the opponent with absolute superiority and unraveled the top-quality Peach Blossom Spring Jadeite of the glass variety, a jadeite which auctioned for as high as 250 million starcoins!
Now, on the first day of the Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium, he had two rise in bet jadeites of the glass variety, a 7 out of 8 hit, with an 87.5% rate of betting increase;
Then on the second day, which is today, he had another top quality rise in bet yellow jadeite, and a 5 out of 5 hit with a 100% rate of betting increase!!
Within the entire empire, there was no Stone Gambler who could reach this level. In the eyes of many, Gu Yun was already a legend.
Bai Jing looked at all the encouraging comments under his account that said ‘God Yun is the strongest’, ‘God Yun, keep going’…
These words made him feel warm in his heart, and at the same time, caused him to have a stronger drive to move forward.
Since there were so many people supporting him, he wouldn’t let them down!
Unlike Bai Jing’s leisurely state, Gu Yuanzhao’s expression was extremely cold as he looked at the one video communication after another on his light brain.
First, it was his father, the head of the Gu family, who decisively demanded that the top quality yellow jadeite be kept and not auctioned off!
Then it was the head of the Gu Conglomerate’s auction house who asked him when the next auction would be held, and that they would definitely promote it extensively and invite all the top-ranking families in the Capital Star to participate.
Then it was the marshal of the military, that old man with overwhelming power.
The normally stern Imperial Marshal, in the communication, smiled and asked when the Level 6 energy fluid would be available. That hadn’t there just been several pieces of jadeites of the glass variety that had been auctioned off recently? Then he even added that money wasn’t a problem.
Ever since the senior generals under him started using the Gu Conglomerate’s advanced energy boxes, they looked down on all the rest. Then they started submitting reports and requests to the old man every day, causing the Marshal to have no other choice but to seek his help.
Fortunately, the energy boxes that Bai Jing gave him last time hadn’t been sent to the military yet, so Gu Yuanzhao promised to send it immediately after the Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium ended. Only then did the satisfied Marshal hang up the video call.
Then various people inquiring about Bai Jing’s identity and contact information were all intercepted by the Gu Conglomerate’s Information Center, making it so that these top-tier aristocratic families had no other choice but to come and socialize with him, trying to get him establish connections. Heh.
Then the organizers also sent a notice, saying that they would waive the 3% handling fee for successful bids on rough stones. This was the first time in the history of the Emporium that such a special offer had appeared!
After Gu Yuanzhao declined yet another incoming video call again, he felt a great sense of crisis. His Ah Jing was just too dazzling. It seemed that the announcement of their relationship needed to be expedited. Otherwise, he worried Ah Jing would be snatched away.
No, Ah Jing was his! He could only belong to him alone!
