96: Spirit Mine Gambling Battle

Everyone looked over to see a slightly overweight man in his thirties.

He was dressed in expensive items, the kind that made him look obviously rich at a glance.

However, his face was a bit pale, clearly a sign of excessive indulgence.

"Isn't that Yuwen Kang from the Yuwen Family? I can't believe he actually came today!"

"This one is the real big shot!"

Chen Fei and Tang Jian leaned closer to Shen Lin: "What's his background?"

The surprise in Shen Lin's eyes, which hadn't fully faded, reappeared.

"This is the young master of the Quicksand Chamber of Commerce, naturally in competition with the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce.

So, both sides often send people to each other's gambling stone venues to cause trouble.

I didn't expect Yuwen Kang himself to come today."

Yuwen Kang's goal was simple: dig out the high-grade goods from this shop, and the remaining spirit ore would naturally be useless.

The other party would have to immediately get a new batch of goods, otherwise, they might have to close for a few days.

Zhao Yu's face darkened the moment he saw Yuwen Kang, but he couldn't kick him out.

He was just a manager, not the owner of the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce.

"Little brother, how about letting me have this spirit ore?" As soon as Yuwen Kang arrived, he set his sights on the spirit ore under Chen Fei's feet.

If it were other spirit ore, Chen Fei wouldn't mind letting it go.

But this piece had a faint purple qi, even if it wasn't as good as the Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow, it wouldn't be too far off.

There was no way he would give it up!

"Sorry, I can't let you have it!" Chen Fei hoisted the spirit ore and prepared to cut it.

Yuwen Kang was also stunned for a moment; someone actually spoke to him like that?

He asked in surprise, "Don't you know who I am?"

Chen Fei shook his head: "I'm here to gamble on stones, I'm not interested in who you are!"

Yuwen Kang tsked twice: "Interesting, truly interesting. I encountered something new today as soon as I left the house.

Since we are all gambling stone enthusiasts, I won't bully others with my influence!

Zhao Yu, what should be done when two people simultaneously take a liking to the same stone?"

Zhao Yu originally didn't want to deal with Yuwen Kang, but now that he was called out, he had to step forward:

"The gambling stone venue has a rule: when two people simultaneously take a liking to a stone and neither gives way, a gambling battle can be used to determine ownership of the stone!"

A look of utter speechlessness appeared on Chen Fei's face. Why was there talk of gambling battles everywhere in this Imperial City?

However, since fighting in public was forbidden, a gambling battle indeed became the best solution.

Unlike last time, the gambling battle at the gambling stone venue naturally focused on spirit ore.

Each person would pick three spirit ores of the same Rank.

Whoever had the higher total harvest from cutting the stones would win.

Furthermore, the harvest from the three spirit ores involved in the gambling battle would ultimately belong to the winner.

"How about it, dare you have a gambling battle with me?" Yuwen Kang stared at Chen Fei with a smile.

He really hoped the other party would accept, after all, there weren't many people who dared to gamble battle with him anymore.

Chen Fei sighed, it seemed there was no escaping it.

Since it was unavoidable, he might as well fight.

"Then let's gamble!"

Yuwen Kang excitedly clapped his hands: "Good, good, it seems I came at the right time today. It's been over half a year since I last had a gambling battle with someone.

So Zhao Yu, I'll ask you to be the witness for this match!"

Zhao Yu reluctantly accepted: "Alright, then this match will use medium-sized spirit ore as the gambling stone Rank.

You will have ten minutes to select your spirit ore.

After ten minutes, no more changing spirit ore.

The gambling battle begins now!"

As Zhao Yu's words fell, a beast pet jumped out from Yuwen Kang's embrace—a Crying Rock Guinea Pig.

It resembled a guinea pig, not large, with rock-like dorsal fins on its back.

As expected, this beast possessed Rock and Magnetic Field elements.

It had a special skill, [Magnetic Field Detection].

It could transmit a magnetic field into the earth, and from the magnetic field feedback, obtain the approximate location of Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Now, it could also use its magnetic field to detect what was inside the spirit ore, then provide feedback on its appearance, size, shape, etc., allowing the Beast Tamer to determine what it was.

Therefore, a Beast Tamer's knowledge reserve was also a crucial part.

This Crying Rock Guinea Pig was the first one Yuwen Kang brought, which meant the Qianlong spirit ore Store didn't have a Restriction against it.

After learning about the Crying Rock Guinea Pig's abilities, Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to it.

Its ability was decent, already considered exceeding standards in a gambling stone venue.

But it was inferior to a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, and even more so to Wu Yun.

The three spirit ores were quickly selected, and both men had them transported to the cutting platform.

"You first or me first?" Yuwen Kang was still cheerful.

"Seeing how confident you are, you go first!"

Chen Fei was afraid that if he started first, the other party might be scared.

All the customers gathered around to watch the show; in their eyes, a spirit ore gambling battle was much more interesting than a beast pet battle.

Only the Blade Ghost Mantis became the busiest one, destined for a life of hard labor.

The first spirit ore quickly revealed its contents: a beast pet egg.

Based on the shape, energy, and number feedback from the Crying Rock Guinea Pig, Yuwen Kang immediately pinpointed this spirit ore.

Because it wasn't just one, but a whole nest.

"Five S-Rank Star-Devouring Rock Armor Beast pet eggs, valued at 6 million High-Grade Spirit Stones."

As Zhao Yu announced its value, the audience couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"As expected of Yuwen Kang, a great start!"

"If this trend continues, each one will probably be more impressive than the last."

"I wonder if that young man can hold his own..."
