protect our patriarch

……

His Royal Highness, Prince Yu, seemed to have a line of words engraved on his face - "You are stupid, you have a lot of money, come quickly!"

Wang Lici looked at him, and then at God Son Jun Hao beside him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Obviously everyone is the core inheritor of one of the top powers, why is there such a big gap in pomp and wealth?
While the three of Wang Lici were talking, the others who were alarmed also recognized Prince Ji.

Just when everyone had doubts.

Prince Yu casually glanced at the stone gambling shop, saw the four characters [Haotian Mining] engraved on the signboard, and there seemed to be a look of interest across his brows.

He raised his hand to signal the people behind to follow, and then flew to the door of the store surrounded by all kinds of beauties.

All stone gambling shops will be decorated with other signs, such as "mining" is the most commonly used suffix, and familiar gamblers will understand it at a glance.

At this time, the shopkeeper of Haotian Mining was shocked.

He never expected that this prince with a great background actually came for the Stone Gambling Shop.

He hastily greeted him, nodded and smiled flatteringly: "His Royal Highness is welcome to the shop, please come inside, please come inside~"

Compared with the vicious and vicious appearance in front of the young prince of the holy clan a few days ago, the shopkeeper now looks like a harmless little sheep, saying that they are both lighter.

Prince Yan glanced at him indifferently, and only nodded slightly, as a greeting, and brought a group of beauties into the store.

However, after entering the store, he glanced around, but suddenly stopped, his brows were also slightly frowned, and there was a hint of dislike in his eyes.

Without him needing to speak, a dedicated attendant immediately stepped forward, took out a set of tables and chairs from the storage ring, and placed them in the lobby, followed by all kinds of strange melons, holy fruits and divine tea.

These tables and chairs are of extraordinary quality, all of which are made of Shenmu core material, with gorgeous texture and mysterious aura, and seem to exude a faint fragrance.

The melons and fruits placed on the table are all extremely high-grade rare varieties, even through the skin, it seems that the rich aura contained in the flesh can be smelled.

Needless to say, the divine tea, the fairy mist curls up, and a sip can bring the soul together.

All the beauties also flocked up to serve the prince, sitting down like a golden knife, pinching his shoulders, and beating his legs.

That fairy-like woman was still squatting aside, took a holy-grade grape with delicate hands, peeled the grape skin and fed it to him.

Whether intentionally or not, all of this happened in the main hall of the shop.

The main hall door was open, and the crowd watching outside could see it clearly, and immediately some people couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

He truly deserves to be the famous Prince Huan. His courage and pomp are simply unparalleled in the world~
God Son Junhao, Goddess Qingli, and Wang Lici thought they were well-informed, but they couldn't help but click their tongues secretly when they saw this scene.

They were not in a hurry to take the next step at all, so they squatted behind the crowd and started whispering through sound transmission.

"Brother Junhao, what's the situation?" Goddess Qingli asked via voice transmission, "Is the prince Yan the reinforcement you invited?"

"How's that possible? I'm not familiar with a brat who likes to show off like Prince Ji." Jun Hao Shenzi shook his head, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

But when he looked at Prince Huan, his eyes revealed a deep envy unconsciously.

Although he is one of the direct disciples of the Sword Emperor Haotian, he is also the quasi-god son of the contemporary era, and he is also placed in high hopes by His Majesty the Sword Emperor, and his future potential is limitless.

In terms of superficial identity, he is the same as Prince Ji.

But I can't stand it. The structure of the Demon Temple is different from that of the Haotian Temple~ Your Majesty the Demon God is a unique existence in the Demon God Temple. He also has absolute control and dominance over all the demon kings under his command, and he can determine life and death at any time.

Because of this, the status of Prince Yan in the Demon God Temple is also different.

He is the serious prince, even if he does whatever he wants, no big demon king will jump out and accuse him of not doing his job properly.

What's more, compared to other forces with top bosses, the Demon God's Temple is relatively rich.

There are two main sources of huge profits for the Demon Temple.

On the one hand, they used their natural advantages of being born in the demon clan to vigorously develop the monster breeding industry, and using the unique technical means of the Demon Temple, even the most high-end seventeenth-order "meat dragon king" and "meat phoenix king" can be produced in small quantities.

Therefore, the Demon God Temple is definitely the dominant position in the meat and poultry market in the fairy world.

The second aspect is to make money from mercenaries.

Although the Demon Temple is a member of the Immortal Realm, but because of its racial characteristics and geographical location, it does not confront the demons head-on.

They simply rely on their powerful combat power to join the confrontation between the major forces and the demons in the form of mercenaries, and make a lot of war money.In today's increasingly tense battle situation, the Demon God Temple is naturally making a lot of money.

Therefore, the rich and powerful Crown Prince Ji naturally "looks down" other forces who are "cautious", for fear that the quasi-god sons who make mistakes will think that he is the real second generation!
This is also the reason why he dared to speak nonsense and said the phrase "I don't know my background when I make friends, anyway, no one's background is higher than mine".

Although the other quasi-god sons were very displeased with his behavior and dismissed him every time he was mentioned, they had to admit that when it came to "unscrupulous", no one was as good as Prince Ji.

"Based on my inference, Prince Yu's visit to Haotian City is probably for the purpose of competing for the Shenying rankings, and he came here to gamble on stones on a whim." Jun Hao said solemnly, "Let's suspend the plan first, Let's wait until this nonsense second generation ancestor leaves."

Both Goddess Qingli and Wang Lici nodded secretly, agreeing to this statement.

Simultaneously.

A Hunyuanjing patriarch who had been guarding the Gambling Stone Shop was also alarmed, hurriedly ended the retreat, and came out to entertain the prince in person.

It was a slender, middle-aged Primordial Realm cultivator.

It seems that he has been pampered for a long time, his figure looks a little rich, and he doesn't have the charm of the Taoist masters of the three formations and Changgeng, but he is the Taoist master of the Hunyuan realm. , Every move still carries a strong aura, which is not comparable to ordinary monks.

As soon as he appeared, he smiled heartily at Prince Yan and said, "His Royal Highness is here, and I am here at Duanmu Jinhua. I am sorry for my mistakes."

33 days in the fairy world—[Taihaotian] The Duanmu family of the Taoist family can be regarded as a famous and powerful family.

What's more, more than 8 years ago, this aristocratic family gave birth to a daughter-in-law who was married to the successor of the Haotian Temple at that time—[Bai Jun Shenzi] by chance.

Under the operation of Bai Jun Shenzi, the legitimate lady Duanmu also got the opportunity to inherit the Hunyuan Taoist book, and eventually became a Hunyuan realm Taoist master.

The Duanmu family also thrived with this golden thigh. In just 8 years, they developed from an ordinary Taoist clan with only one Hunyuan Realm to a powerful Taoist clan with three Hunyuan Realm members.

If you add the married Miss Duanmu, this Duanmu family can barely be regarded as a family of four Hunyuan, very powerful, and famous far and wide.

And this Duanmu family is also extremely smart, with a long-term vision.

In the past 8 years, they have not only sucked blood from the God Son of the White Army. On the contrary, they have used the identity of the God Son of the White Army to make a lot of money, and at the same time actively nurtured the God Son of the White Army in terms of resources and power.

This made the son of Baijun go all the way, and finally raised his cultivation to the peak of the Hunyuan realm when he was less than [-] years old, and successfully became one of the three deputy hall masters of the Haotian Temple!

The whole process, if those unscrupulous ways of making money are ignored, it can be called a perfect win-win cooperation.

Duanmu Jinhua, the third ancestor of the Duanmu clan, is the mastermind behind the guarding of the Gambling Stone Shop.

On weekdays, he doesn't need to take care of the specific affairs in the stone gambling shop, he only cares about enjoyment and cultivation, and only when he encounters major issues does he need to come forward to solve them.

Looking at the entire Taihaotian, Duanmu Jinhua can be regarded as a powerful party, and the elders of the Haotian Temple also call him brothers and give each other face when they see him.

As a result, there is basically nothing he can't solve.

But Prince Yu is not an ordinary person.Not to mention ordinary Taoist masters like Duanmu Jinhua, even the deputy hall master had to respectfully call him "young master" when he met him in the Demon God Temple.

Facing Duanmu Jinhua's politeness, he just raised his eyelids a little, and his tone was still arrogant: "Stop talking nonsense, the prince came to the Haotian Temple, originally just to refresh the Shenying list, and call your family Jun Hao The poor sword cultivator squeezed into the third place."

"However, according to my maid Yaner, this Haotian Mining is one of the largest stone gambling shops in Taihaotian. Do you have an opinion?"

When he was talking about Bi'er, he glanced at the fairy woman beside him who served him to eat fruit, and there was a bit of doting and playfulness in his eyes.

And that Xun'er also obediently peeled a piece of fruit and stuffed it into Prince Yu's mouth, with a sweet tone: "Xian'er wishes His Royal Highness the best of luck and a lot of Chaos Crystals."

Hearing this, Duanmu Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief.

It's fine if you don't come to make trouble.

The Duanmu Clan has the Taoist master of the White Army as the backstage, and the scope of activities is limited to the forces of the Haotian Temple, so they will not be too afraid of the Crown Prince of the Demon Temple, but the status of the Prince is extraordinary after all. Enemy, he is naturally unwilling.

Immediately, Duanmu Jinhua smiled boldly again: "Our Haotian Mining opens the door to welcome guests, how can we have any objections to the guests? Since His Royal Highness is interested in playing a few games, it is our honor. Come here, bring up a batch of raw ore .”

As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper in charge of the specific affairs understood, and immediately led the clerk to the underground warehouse to pick out a batch of raw spirit stone ores.

After asking Prince Yu for his opinion, these raw spirit stone ores were directly placed in the lobby, laid out one by one, and the sale price was marked behind each piece of raw spirit stone ore.

Many times, some distinguished guests actually don't like to play stone gambling in public, but choose to go to the secret room.After all, betting on stones is too uncertain. If you lose the bet, you will lose face, and if you win, you will be easily targeted. Therefore, there are not a few guests who like to make a fortune silently.

But Prince Yu didn't seem to shy away from these things, and the shopkeeper was happy for him to play in the lobby.After all, this batch of rough stones is a good product selected, and the probability of shipment is relatively high.

If you are playing in the lobby, you can just ask the crowds of onlookers outside the door to take a look. The quality of the rough stones from Haotian Mining is excellent.

In order to avoid a group of gossiping people secretly slandering Haotian Mining all day long, shoddy and deceitful.

At the same time, Prince Yan gambled happily with stones, and he could also form a good relationship.

After finishing all this, Duanmu Jinhua said with a smile: "Please trouble Your Highness, first pick a piece and try your luck."

These rough stones used as gambling stones are actually produced in the chaotic mines of the major forces, and most of the excellent-looking bright stones have been directly cut and entered the warehouses of the major forces.

The rest of the rough stones with doubtful quality will be bought by some stone gambling shops through "bidding", and they will be used as gambling stones to make a huge profit.

Usually the process goes like this.

The mine owner or the person in charge of the mining area will collect those rough stones that are difficult to distinguish. After a certain amount has been accumulated, the mine owner's master appraiser will evaluate each piece of original stone. Appearance], finally look at [size], and finally evaluate an approximate price based on the comprehensive situation, and sell it to the outside world.

However, the gambling stone itself has great uncertainty. It is impossible for any master appraiser to accurately identify a single piece or multiple pieces.

After all, some rough stones look very good, but they are found to be garbage after cutting, while some rough stones look inconspicuous, but they can produce chaotic spirit stones.

This is the charm of gambling stones.

Only when the quantity reaches a certain level and the right, wrong and wrong reaches a certain balance, can the general price tend to be infinitely reasonable.

This is somewhat similar to the big data theory on Earth.

And serious stone gambling shops generally have their own mine masters, who will continue to purchase rough stones from major mining areas at a relatively reasonable price.

Prince Yu glanced at the more than 20 rough stones laid out in the lobby, and his expression was a little impatient: "There are more than 20 rough stones in the area, what can I choose? They are rounded, and they are all cut!"

"All, all cut?"

Hearing this, even Duanmu Jinhua's expression was a little shocked.

He subconsciously confirmed to him: "His Royal Highness, are you kidding me? These add up to more than 6 Chaos Spirit Stones!"

These are all [top-notch goods] that have been appraised by the master of mine appraisal, and the most expensive piece of [top-notch goods] is only the size of a fist, but the asking price is a full 1.8 chaotic spirit stones.

Because although it is small, it is the best quality among the more than 20 rough stones. After a preliminary appraisal by the master mine appraiser in the store, it is believed that there is a high probability that it can produce chaos spirit stones. It's up to luck.

"Why?" Prince Yan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and there was obvious displeasure in his eyes, "I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to pay you?"

"No, no, how could it be?" Duanmu Jinhua said hastily, "There are only six chaotic spirit stones in the area, so naturally His Highness will not take them seriously. Since it is His Highness's intention, let's open them all. This batch Goods, I'll give His Highness a 6% discount!"

As he said that, he turned around immediately, waved his big hand, and ordered with a dignified expression: "Come here, do according to His Highness's wishes."

Gambling with stones is all inclusive, no doubt it is a big mistake!

In Immortal World, although there is no theoretical concept of "big data", it has long been related to practical applications.

Whether it is a casino or a stone gambling shop, after eliminating some shady tricks, they are actually using big data to make money.

for example.

When a serious stone gambling store buys a large amount of rough stone goods with a thousand chaotic spirit stones, the estimated price of the appraisal is mostly based on the fact that a thousand chaotic spirit stones can be produced.

Of course, the total number of Chaos Spirit Stones actually contained in this batch is actually uncertain, maybe eight hundred, maybe twelve hundred.It's just that in the long run, the average value of the chaotic spirit stones contained in it will infinitely approach one thousand.

But these, they don't care, they just need to sell each of the rough stones at double the estimated price.

In this way, the risk is completely passed on to the stone betting players, and the stone betting shops are making money anyway.

But correspondingly, if there are stone gamblers who choose to open a large number of rough stones in the store, because the price has been raised, correspondingly they need to bear a lot of risk, and the probability of losing money in the end is very high.

Of course, this is a simple example, and the actual situation is often much more complicated than this.

Following Duanmu Jinhua's order, the "clerks" in the shop whose strength had reached the real fairyland immediately swarmed up and cut the rough stone professionally.

Prince Yu, on the other hand, was calm as usual, and began to drink wine contentedly under the service of a demon maid.

And Duanmu Jinhua is also quite peaceful.

According to his estimation, with Prince Yan's current wave of games, even with a 2% discount, there is a high probability that he will lose [-] Chaos Spirit Stones, and there is a small probability that he will make neither profit nor loss. Of course, if he is really lucky, he may make some profit.

The onlookers outside were also discussing, feeling that Prince Ji's game was inappropriate, and the chances of losing were too great.

Suddenly.

A clerk froze on the spot after cutting a piece of rough stone, and said in disbelief, "Gamble, is the bet broken?"

The piece of rough stone he cut was very small, but it was the most expensive piece with 1.8 Chaos Spirit Stones.

This is a rough stone with a very high probability of being sold in large quantities.He cut it fast just to get a good start, maybe the cut price has increased, and the prince will be rewarded as soon as he is happy.

But what is this?
The stone is actually just a top-grade spirit stone!It is equivalent to 1.8 chaotic spirit stones all in vain.

Outside the store, the three people squatting in the distance also saw this scene.

"It's amazing!" Goddess Qingli laughed and transmitted voice to the other two: "I remember this stone, it's really small, the price is really expensive, and it looks very good, I was a little tempted to buy it Cut everything down, but Sister Lici said she didn't feel it, it didn't taste good."

"Sister Lici is mighty." God Zi Jun Hao also looked serious, looking at Wang Lici with sincere and fiery eyes, "I declare that starting today, sister Lici is the number one good sister among all my sisters!"

"I object." Goddess Qingli was furious.

Although she is not interested in the so-called first sister at all, she is really angry to be rejected in such a face-to-face~

"Objection is invalid. If you are not convinced, I will expel your sister's status." Jun Hao said confidently.

He thought to himself, Li Ci is not a younger sister, she is clearly a thick and strong golden thigh ~ Of course he will hug tightly if he has the chance.

While everyone was joking.

More than 20 rough stones have been unraveled one after another.

Bet it down, bet it up, keep betting it down!

The scene gradually became awkward.The whispers outside the store that had been heard from time to time also slowly stopped.

Duanmu Jinhua's face also became a little weird, and he looked at the shopkeeper questioningly.

The shopkeeper began to sweat coldly on his forehead.

He is the master of mine appraisal in the store, and the prices of mine appraisal are all done by himself.According to past experience, this batch of goods can produce about two to four Chaos Spirit Stones, so there will be a total of more than six Chaos Spirit Stones.

But what's the situation now?
There are more than 20 rough stones, and the goods that are finally solved, add up to only a few fairy stones!

This is no longer a bet, but a collapse!
That's it?

Prince Yu was also shocked by this scene.

He straightened his body slightly and looked at Duanmu Jinhua with sharp eyes.

This level of betting broke, maybe he took a batch of rubbish rough stones with false prices to fool him?
why is that?Could it be that... this Duanmu Jinhua saw his real purpose?Deliberately made a batch of garbage to make him lose the bet, trying to use this as a warning to persuade him to quit?
"His Royal Highness, misunderstood, this is a misunderstanding!" Duanmu Jinhua hastily said after noticing the look in the eyes of Prince Ji, "There may be some flaws in this matter. We don't count this batch of goods as money! We don't count money!"

Hearing this, Prince Yan's tense face relaxed a little.

He stared at Duanmu Jinhua's expression, as if he was judging the authenticity of his words. After a while, he leaned back on his chair and waved his hands casually: "Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it. As for money... Hehe, is the crown prince short of these chaotic spirit stones? Get someone to get a batch of them quickly."

Duanmu Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the shopkeeper, his voice suddenly became stern: "Come here, bring another batch."

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and walked away.

This time, there must be no mistakes.

Then, after a full burn of incense, the shopkeeper and the clerk came back, and brought back more than 30 rough stones at the same time.

During this time, stone fragments scattered in the lobby have been removed. More than 30 original stones were spread out, almost occupying a whole area in the center of the lobby.

This batch was selected again from the high-quality goods by him.

According to his estimation, the total value of the spiritual stones contained in this batch should exceed 20 chaotic spiritual stones, and a [-]% discount may make money!

Seeing this, Prince Yu didn't say anything, and waved his hand again, fully open!

The clerks began to dissect the stone busily.

After a while, the scene was silent again.

In this batch of high-quality rough stones with a total price of more than 20 Chaos Spirit Stones, only 3 Chaos Spirit Stones were released!
You said that Wang Lici didn't lick it clean, then of course you are right.

It is impossible for her to lick all the rough stones, there will always be some exceptions.For example, if there is a big difference between the selling price and the actual value, even if there are chaos spirit stones in it, you must not buy it.

There is also the kind of raw stone that is not much different, but the selling price is as high as 1 Chaos Spirit Stone, and it turns out that there are only a few tenths of Chaos Spirit Stone in it, and I will definitely not buy it.

In short, Wang Lici is determined not to do any loss-making business.

The three chaotic spirit stones that were unearthed from this batch of rough stones were left behind for similar reasons.

But what's the difference between this and a bloody collapse?
Prince Huan laughed angrily: "Interesting, so interesting. Are you, Haotian Mining Company, planning to kill this Prince as a scapegoat?"

While speaking, a majestic and terrifying aura rose from him, sweeping the entire stone gambling shop in an instant.

For a moment, the air in the store seemed to freeze.

Duanmu Jinhua's complexion changed slightly, but he felt very wronged in his heart.

This is really incredible.

He was sure that the shopkeeper would not dare to deceive himself, and the materials he brought out must be good materials that had been appraised, but it happened that these materials were cut into pieces, and this situation was really unbelievable, and even more strange.

But in any case, this matter cannot continue today.

Duanmu Jinhua hastily bowed to Prince Yan solemnly, and apologized: "His Royal Highness, this is all due to a mistake in our shop. Not only will we not receive any money for these two payments, but we will also prepare generous gifts to accompany you Apologize."

Prince Yan frowned slightly.

In fact, he also felt the strangeness of this matter.

This time, he did not come here to gamble on stones, but to win for the maid named "Xian'er" beside him.

Chang'er was originally from a fairy family, and the family was not bad at first, but her brother was tricked by Haotian Mining and fell into the quagmire of gambling stones, and finally ended up with family ruin and homelessness.

As a result, Shan'er was sold to the territory of the Demon God's Temple, and finally fell into the hands of his prince Ji fortunately, and finally lost his affection.

Prince Yu is naturally protective of his weaknesses. After learning about Shan'er's experience, he decided to take advantage of the gap when he came to brush up the Shenying list, and take revenge for his baby Shan'er by the way, venting his anger.

Originally, he already had a complete set of plans, but he never thought that he would encounter such a weird thing just after arriving!
Could it be that the other party recognized Chang'er?
Impossible~!

After she joined the Demon God's Temple, because of her practice, her bloodline and aura have changed, and her image is no longer the little girl she was back then. It stands to reason that even people who used to be very familiar with her may not recognize her now. up.

Just in the midst of Prince Yu's doubts.

The woman named "Xian'er" gave him a secret wink, and said via voice transmission: "Your Highness, the other party has been on guard today, and we probably can't get it right. Why don't we retreat now and find another plan."

At any rate, he is the heir carefully cultivated by His Majesty the Demon God, and the crown prince is certainly not as reckless and domineering as he appears on the surface.

Those were just camouflage that he was showing.

Feeling that the matter was beyond his control, he thought about it for a while, and felt that it was impossible to do so, so he decided to retreat temporarily.

But he had just made up his mind, and before he could speak, a soft and pleasant female voice suddenly rang in his ear: "His Royal Highness, reserve the place, reserve all the rough stones in this shop."

Obviously, someone is transmitting voices to himself.

"?"

Prince Yu was taken aback.

Who is giving himself bad ideas?Could it be that he wanted to cooperate with this black shop to ruthlessly slaughter him and take advantage of him?

"Don't poke around, it's useless to arouse the other party's suspicion." The woman's voice sounded again, "I, Goddess Qingli, am going to bring down this black shop. Since His Highness is in the game at the right time, why don't you just cooperate with me once and count it as I owe you one." Favor."

Prince Yu was speechless.

You say you are Qingli or Qingli?
I still suspect that you and this black shop conspired to defraud the prince!
As if aware of Prince Ji's suspicion, the voice of Goddess Qingli continued in his ear: "500 years ago, you molested Sister Xinglan and said you would give her a wallet to support her, but she beat her so badly that she begged for mercy. Then When I was still young, I could only watch helplessly from the side..."

Prince Yu's face darkened.

Okay, stop talking, I know you are Qingli!
If Qingli said something else, he might not be able to confirm it so quickly, but when this incident happened, there were only two other people present besides himself, and that was Xinglan and Qingli.

The two of them took his hush money, so they won't talk nonsense...

In order to prevent Goddess Qingli from continuing to talk about exporting to him, Prince Yan made a decisive decision and directly entered the scene.

As if he was irritated by Duanmu Jinhua's attitude, he showed an unstoppable attitude: "Duanmu Jinhua, is this prince short of your money? Which one wants you to waive the bill?"

"You are humiliating the prince, you are humiliating my demon temple!"

"The prince doesn't believe it, my luck is really that bad! Reserve the venue! Take out all the rough stones in your shop! The prince is all in charge!"

He is actually not close to the Qingli Goddess. The reason why he dares to make such bold statements and trusts the Qingli Goddess is mainly because the Qingli Goddess recently robbed the Supreme You's lair and is extremely rich. The booking fee should be enough. started.

For a rich goddess like Qingli Goddess, of course, he would pay the most sincere respect.

If it were God Son Jun Hao, or Goddess Xinglan and other poor god sons and goddesses, who would open their mouths to make this suggestion to him, Prince Yan would obviously not give them this face, because the other party would not be able to pay him back the money. .

His crown prince, Yu, is just rich, not a fool.
