I Have A City In An Alternate World

492 The otherworldly version of “stone gambling” _1

To Tang Zhen, the raw jade that Zhao Dabao discovered was indeed very important. However, there was no need to sell it.

Although this thing could make money, Tang Zhen didn’t lack this income. What he valued more was the auxiliary effect of the Jade stone on cultivators.

The reason why he finally agreed was because he wanted to see if there would be a scene in the world of loucheng where a stone was worth hundreds of millions.

In fact, such a situation was not impossible. Compared to the Jade in the original world, the Jade in this mountain was more valuable and more stable!

Zhao Dabao didn’t know Tang Zhen’s thoughts, but he knew that this was an opportunity for him. Therefore, he worked extremely hard.

A few days passed by in a flash. Zhao Dabao’s shop was already cleaned up. The equipment that he had entrusted to Tang Zhen was also installed and tested.

Aside from the lighting system of the glittergold race, the Holy Dragon City was also using power generation equipment from the original world.

Zhao Dabao’s shop was powered by a set of solar power equipment.

The spacious store was now completely new. A row of brand new counters was placed against the wall.

Inside the counter were some raw gemstones that had been opened. The Jade inside was not concealed at all, and it looked very bright.

Customers only needed to take a look to know that these seemingly ordinary stones were actually the raw ore of that kind of Jade.

In order to make the Jade appear more high-end, Zhao Dabao named it ” spiritual Jade ” and promoted it.

In fact, Zhao Dabao didn’t even need to promote it. This spiritual Jade was already famous. The cultivators in the commercial district already knew the effects of this spiritual Jade.

When they heard that a new shop had opened in the commercial district and that it was selling that kind of spiritual Jade raw stone, a group of merchants and cultivators had already surrounded him before he could even open his shop.

When Zhao Dabao, who was busy working inside and outside, saw this scene, he laughed so hard that his teeth could not be seen. He immediately came in front of everyone and began to explain the Rules of the Shop.

The way to play with the raw spiritual Jade was similar to the stone gambling in the original world. This was because the raw spiritual Jade could block the perception of spiritual power, so when purchasing it, it often required luck and experience.

At the entrance of the shop, there were piles of stones with numbers written on them, indicating the weight and price of the Jade.

Although these raw spiritual jades could block the perception of mental power, if one observed carefully, there was a certain pattern to follow.

In order to cooperate with Zhao Dabao’s work, dozens of people had gathered together a few days ago and cut seven to eight carts of stones in one go.

Everyone continued to compare the results of the stone cutting and finally came up with a set of tricks to distinguish the good and bad of the spirit Jade raw stone.

Although the accuracy of these tricks was not very high, they were more than enough to set a price for the raw spiritual jade stone.

The principle of you get what you pay for was true everywhere. The Holy Dragon City would naturally not do business at a loss.

The cultivators and merchants had just come into contact with this kind of spirit Jade raw stone, so they naturally did not know the twists and turns of it. However, they were very clear about the principle that there was nothing good for cheap.

Therefore, apart from a small number of people who were staring at the cheap raw spiritual jade stones, most people were surrounding the raw spiritual jade stones that were priced in the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, constantly discussing and studying them.

Money didn’t fall from the sky. Although those cultivators and merchants had money, they wouldn’t spend it recklessly. This kind of thing didn’t seem very reliable, so they really didn’t have confidence in it.

However, the unraveled raw spiritual jade stones on the counter clearly told everyone that these ordinary-looking stones actually contained extremely precious spiritual Jade.

In short, this kind of spiritual Jade was very precious, and if one wanted to get it, they would have to rely on some luck.

If one wanted to buy the finished product, they could either cut out the Jade and make it themselves, or they could only spend a high price to buy the Jade talisman fragments left behind in the wild buildings on the mountain.

After listening to Zhao Dabao’s introduction, everyone discussed and soon found a business opportunity.

If he could find spiritual Jade in the raw spiritual jade stone, he could use it to sculpt artifacts. When the time came, he could sell it at a higher price and make a fortune.

Although the price of these raw spiritual jade stones was very high, they were much cheaper than the finished products. It was definitely worth investing in.

After realizing this, people began to try to buy it, trying their luck.

“Boss, I want this piece. Can you make it cheaper?”

A non-human merchant pointed at a spiritual Jade raw stone the size of a human head and asked Zhao Dabao after walking a few rounds.

When Zhao Dabao heard this, he immediately walked over with a smile. After taking a look at the spiritual Jade, he replied, ” “You really have a good eye. You picked a piece of material that is likely to rise in value at a glance.

This piece of Jade is worth 150000 Yuan. I’ll give you a 20% discount, so it’s a total of 120000 Yuan. This price can’t be any lower!”

After Zhao Dabao finished speaking, he looked at the other party with a smile and appeared very sincere.

Hearing this, the foreign merchant immediately hesitated, because this price was really not cheap. If there was no spiritual Jade in the stone, his 120000 brain beads would be gone.

However, if there was something good in the raw spiritual jade stone, he could easily earn back the 120000 Yuan He had spent.

Just as the foreign-race merchant was at a loss for what to choose, two more foreign cultivators walked over and began to circle around the raw spirit Jade.

From their expressions, it was obvious that they were very satisfied with the raw stone and had the intention to buy it.

After seeing this, the foreign merchant no longer hesitated. He walked in front of Zhao Dabao and handed him a stack of cash.

boss, I want this stone. Help me untie it immediately!

Zhao Dabao was elated when he heard that. After he took the money, he immediately called for the workers in the store to help move the raw stone to the cutting machine.

Seeing this, the crowd swarmed over, wanting to see if there was really a spiritual Jade in the raw stone.

At the entrance of the shop, the cutting machine, which had long been connected to the power source, was running at full speed. A burst of harsh cutting sounds filled the ears of the onlookers.

It didn’t take long for the raw stone to be cut, revealing the material inside.

After washing it with water, a touch of crystal-like luster was exposed in front of everyone’s eyes, which was extremely attractive.

Although the quality of this Jade was not the best Jade used to make Jade talismans, it was almost the same. If it was used to make a finished product, it would definitely be worth a lot.

When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes. While they exclaimed repeatedly, their expressions were also filled with shock and jealousy!

“It’s rising, it’s rising!”

Zhao Dabao was stunned at first, but then he immediately used the methods of his former world high school and shouted to add to the atmosphere.

The staff in the store were also cheering, their faces full of joy. Infected by them, the onlookers ’emotions were also stirred up, and they kept exclaiming and sighing.

Zhao Dabao congratulated the foreign merchant, claiming that he would earn at least ten times the profit after the spiritual Jade was completed!

In fact, even if Zhao Dabao didn’t say it, the foreign merchant already knew. When the raw stone was cut open, he had already estimated the price of the spiritual Jade.

A return of tens of times was still a conservative estimate. If the operation was done properly, even a return of a hundred times was very likely!

The foreign cultivators, who had been feeling uncertain, finally relaxed at this moment, and their faces were filled with joy after their investment was successful.

As the two of them conversed, the surrounding onlookers were all listening attentively. When they heard that this piece of raw spiritual jade stone could make a profit of dozens of times, all of their eyes widened and their hearts beat wildly.

This scene of sudden wealth made them red with envy, but at the same time, they also began to be eager to try.

“I want this raw spiritual jade stone!”

“This one’s not bad, I want it!”

“Little brother, come over quickly and help me take a look at this stone. What do you think?”

Hundreds of raw spiritual jade stones were sold out in the blink of an eye!
