Wen Shiqi didn't care about the change in her confidant's attitude towards her. After she waited for the other party to get in the car, she closed her eyes and began to rest her mind.

Although medicine had been applied to her back, it still hurt from time to time. The pain made her nerves twitch. She couldn't spare the energy to pay attention to anything else now.

When she reached her destination, she opened her eyes again.

When he looked at his surroundings, he was stunned.

The place this time seemed a little different from the past.

In the past, although the venues for stone gambling were also very hidden, they were all venues and the like, and the occasions were relatively formal...

There is an entire antique street here, and the people coming and going are a mixed bag of people of all levels.

There are some that look very expensive, and there are also those that are ordinary, even a little embarrassed.

Some of those people are more cautious, some are full of decadence, and some have glint and greed in their eyes. At first glance, they are the kind of gamblers in life who want to get rich overnight with small gains.

There are not as many "rules" here as the previous Stone Gambling Auction House. Everyone wears a white mask to cover their face.

Many people here appear directly with their own faces.

Of course, there are also some who don’t want to show up, either wearing masks or wearing sunglasses.

It all depends on personal preference.

Wen Shiqi frowned subconsciously and looked at his confidant:

"Why is it different this time?"

In the past, Mrs. Wen had allowed her to participate in stone gambling, but she rarely came to such a mixed place.

Most of them go to places that are more formal and have higher confidentiality.

The confidant's eyes flashed slightly: "Yeah."

But he didn't mean to explain more.

Although Wen Shiqi was confused, she didn't ask any more questions.

He only took the mask from his henchman, put it on, and got out of the car.

The two of them followed the flow of people and entered the antique street.

There are many street stalls on both sides of the street, selling antiques and curios, and some selling rough stones directly.

There were many people around, and from time to time they made sounds of sighing or cheering.

After entering the back, some shops began to appear.

The confidant led Wen Shiqi into one of the shops called "Antique Zhai". The shop looked very ordinary, no different from other shops around it.

Wen Shiqi didn't know why the other party brought her to this store. She only felt that the injury on her back seemed to be more painful and she felt a little dazed.

After walking for such a long distance, she felt a little exhausted.

Now, she just wants to complete the task assigned by Mrs. Wen tonight as soon as possible, and then go back to rest immediately.

Therefore, from beginning to end, she just followed silently without saying a word.

Then, she heard her confidant say something to the shopkeeper:

"Is the store doing good business today?"

Wen Shiqi looked strangely at the deserted store with no customers at all, and frowned. Where... is the business good here?

Isn’t this lying with open eyes?

If you encounter a boss with a bad temper, you may get beaten.

The shopkeeper behind the counter seemed to have a good temper, smiling and not caring at all:

"It's all the ancestors who burn high incense."

"Then I wonder if I can borrow a fire?"

"What kind of fire can I borrow?"

"Not red, not purple, just the right amount of green."

"middle!"

The two of them started talking as they went back and forth.

The more Wen Shiqi listened, the more he felt something was wrong. It didn't sound like he was doing business, but more like...

Just as she was thinking this, the two suddenly stopped talking.

The shopkeeper cupped his hands towards the two of them, walked out from behind the counter, and made a "please" gesture to the two of them:

"please."

Afterwards, Wen Shiqi and his confidants were taken to the backyard.

Only then did Wen Shiqi learn that there was an underground passage in the backyard. After opening the secret door, a long staircase appeared in front of the two of them.

Going down to the bottom is an underground city.

This is the real stone gambling place.

It is also their destination this time.

The way of betting on stones here is different from that of auction houses, where the price is uniformly marked by the store.

The price of rough stones ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Trade on the spot, open stone on the spot.

Of course, the quality of rough stones also varies.

Wen Shiqi was not interested in ordinary-level rough stones at all, so she directly picked a rough stone worth 300,000 yuan.

"I want this piece."

As soon as she spoke, she immediately attracted the attention of others present.

Just because her voice was too "young" and she sounded like a teenager, yet she asked for a rough stone worth hundreds of thousands as soon as she opened her mouth.

Ho!

Could this be some rich second-generation prodigal son who came here to prodigal family?

"Hey, let me tell you, little kid, do you know what a gambling stone is? You just bought it after just one glance, and you're not afraid of spending hundreds of thousands on it and it's all in vain?"

"Yes, yes. Don't just look at the price tag of 300,000 and think it must be good. Sometimes the price tag may not be consistent with the goods inside the stone."

Someone kindly reminded me.

Most people may think that since the price is relatively high, the grade of jade must be relatively high.

This is just to deceive some laymen.

In fact, there are some "rules" here.

When stores mark prices, although they will mark the price according to the quality grade of the rough stone, some will also deliberately mix in some "defective goods" to make profits.

Of course, some stores are really mistaken.

After all, not everyone has a natural affinity for jade and jewelry like Wen Shiqi.

When the store owner heard this, he immediately shouted loudly:

"Don't talk nonsense. I have been a banker for so many years and I have never played these tricks.

"What you can prescribe depends entirely on your personal ability!"

However, even though he shouted like this, he didn't seem to be very angry.

In fact, everyone is well aware of such "business rules".

Moreover, it’s not all shoddy.

Sometimes, stores will also put some high-quality products into mid- to low-grade rough stones.

In this way, once someone offers a rough stone that is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than the original price at a very low price, it will greatly stimulate people's luck mentality and get out of hand.

It's all routines.

Everyone knows it.

The main thing is that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Of course, those black shops are not included.

Wen Shiqi only nodded slightly to the kind reminder from the people around her, accepting the other person's kindness, but did not change her mind:

"open it."

The shopkeeper was a rugged-looking man with dark skin and a beard.

Hearing Wen Shiqi's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to be so cheerful.

Are newborn calves not afraid of tigers, or are skilled people bold?

The man's eyes flashed, showing a hint of shrewdness, but then he returned to his cheerful look:

"Okay! Have fun! Come on, let's go!"

When the onlookers saw that Shiqi was about to open the stone, there was a burst of noise, and they all gathered around him unknowingly.

I want to see how lucky this "young man" is.

Wen Shiqi was soon surrounded by a group of people. No one noticed that not far away, a man wearing a black mask was staring closely at her figure...
