Chapter 91.1
Editor: Jodi
Next, whenever there was a disagreement among the group, everyone would turn to Bai Jing, waiting for his judgment.
Even Grand Master Gu Liu Bai discussed the performance of the rough stones with the teenager, valuing his opinion highly. Making it so that for a moment, Bai Jing unexpectedly became the core of the entire team.
This was only his first time doing rough stone zoning, yet he had gained unparalleled prestige, earning everyone’s respect and trust. He was simply impressive!
No one dared to question Bai Jing’s judgment anymore.
And one by one, the rough stones were unraveled, revealing different varieties—sunny green jadeite of the high ice variety, violet jadeite of the ice variety, and apple green jadeite of the glass variety—
And these rough stones were almost exactly as Bai Jing described.
However Bai Jing attributed everything to intuition, only saying that there was a good chance of jadeite being inside, without being precise about the quality, color, or size.
Hence, the other stone gamblers were simply envious of his intuition and didn’t think too deeply about it.
However Grand Master Gu Liu Bai vaguely sensed it had something to do with mental power, since mental power naturally affected intuition. What’s more he himself occasionally experienced such mysterious sensations too, just not as precise.
The more Grand Master Gu Liu Bai observed Bai Jing, the more he liked him. If it wasn’t that Bai Jing was already a level eight stone gambler like himself, he would have loved to take the teenager as his sole disciple and teach him everything he knew.
Fortunately, his nephew acted quickly and discovered this unparalleled gem of a person early, allowing them to become family.
Otherwise, it would have been the entire Gu Conglomerate’s greatest loss.
Take this situation for example: Just this one zoning session had saved the Gu Conglomerate billions in losses, meaning that the profits he would bring in the future would only grow higher.
In contrast, the experienced stone gamblers in the team had offered little input and were easily overshadowed.
After the zoning was completed, nearly 15,000 rough stones were reorganized in the warehouse by grade and then transported in batches to the Gu Conglomerate’s gambling on rough stones hall and rough stone areas, where they would be replenished in batches based on consumption until new rough stones arrived two months later.
Taking advantage of the fact that most of the rough stones in the warehouse hadn’t been transported yet, Bai Jing brought An Ge, Huang Yue, and Qi Yu to the site.
As stone gamblers, theory was only the foundation— practice was what really mattered.
An Ge and Huang Yue were stunned by the sheer size of the warehouse and the number of rough stones. Even Qi Yu’s eyes flashed with surprise, though he concealed it hurriedly.
This was a critical area for the Gu Conglomerate, so unlike Bai Jing, who had special access, the others had to wear monitoring bracelets before entering, where any unusual movement would immediately trigger the alarm system.
Grand Master Gu Liu Bai was also in the warehouse.
This was because he needed to handle more rough stones to regain his experience and sharpness as he had just woken up from the medical bay.
Bai Jing spoke to Grand Master Gu Liu Bai, then led Huang Yue and Qi Yu to the scrap material area. “These rows of rough stones are all D-grade, priced at 500 starcoins per kilogram. You need to select 10 rough stones within three hours and unravel them on the spot. The cost will be deducted from your starting funds.”
Huang Yue responded excitedly, “Got it!”
She was finally getting real hands-on experience with gambling on rough stones!
Bai Jing: “Don’t rush. Take your time as you select, carefully examining every part of the rough stones. Do you still remember how to identify them?”
Huang Yue: “I do! Look at the external features of the rough stone, including the skin, pine patterns, python belts, cracks, withering, ringworm, and so on. Then judge the field based on these features to determine if there’s jadeite inside.”
Qi Yu added in a cold tone, “Luck and intuition are just as essential.”
Bai Jing nodded. “The most important thing is your mindset.
This is your first time gambling on rough stones, and you’re picking from scrap materials, so the chances of having rises in bet is very low, hence it’s normal if all ten rough stones result in collapses in bet. Got it?”
“Got it!”
“Yeah.”
Bai Jing: “Alright, go ahead and pick. Send me the numbers of the rough stones you’ve chosen in three hours.”
An Ge was currently a level two stone gambler with talent in gambling on rough stones. However due to financial constraints, he had limited access to rough stones, mostly low-grade ones, so his rate of betting increase and points improved very slowly.
So Bai Jing directly instructed him to start examining A-grade rough stones one by one, summarizing and judging the jadeite within each.
This way, with more exposure to rough stones, he would gradually understand which types were more likely to yield jadeite.
Bai Jing addressed An Ge’s questions carefully, with time ticking by, and three hours later, Huang Yue and Qi Yu had each selected ten rough stones.
