Chapter 11 I wonder how long you can laugh
The surrounding crowd was silent for a moment, then shouted, "That's right, Lord Long is a prominent figure in our East Third Trading Market, and he values integrity the most.""With him as a witness, whoever loses can't renege on their debt, and wouldn't dare to!
""Lord Long, do you think the bet between these two ladies is fair?
"Without Qiu Ze's introduction, everyone had already clamored about Long Bai's special status.
He was a somewhat principled and honorable, influential local boss in the East Third Trading Market.Long Bai smiled and said, "Since it's a bet, there's no such thing as fair or unfair; it only depends on whether the two parties are willing to wager.
""Just like this young friend said, she's putting up all her family assets, which is the biggest bet she can make.
""And this lady is only wagering one of her storage rings, which can barely be considered an equivalent stake.
""If both parties agree, then this bet can begin.
"Qiu Ling smiled, "What do I have to disagree with?
crystal stones can be earned again. If I can win a storage ring, that would absolutely be a pie falling from the sky and landing right on my head.
"Everyone nodded in agreement, "Isn't that right?
A storage ring is something you can't buy, no matter how many crystal stones you spend or how many connections you use.
If it were me, I'd also be willing to bet all my worth.
""No one is stupid. I think that unknown Princess from who knows where definitely wouldn't be willing to agree.
In the imperial family, Storage Rings aren't like Vicious Beasts found everywhere; how could she just casually use one as a bet?
"Qiu Yi was put on the spot, hating herself and secretly gritting her teeth.
If she had known Qiu Ling would pull this stunt, she would never have shown off her storage ring.Now that she had agreed, she feared the one percent chance of losing; if she didn't agree, then her and Mu Chi's Face would be lost.Moreover, she had specifically sought out Qiu Ling to speak to her, just to see the envy, jealousy, and hatred on Qiu Ling's Face.She took a deep breath, glanced at Mu Chi, whose expression remained gentle, and smiled, nodding, "Alright, then I'll trouble Lord Long.
"Long Bai waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's my honor to serve two Contract Masters.
How shall we set up this round?"Qiu Yi looked at Qiu Ling, her lips curved, "My Younger Female Cousin and I will each choose three raw Ores.
Whoever opens items with the highest total value wins this competition.
""However, Younger Female Cousin only bringing out two million crystal stones isn't enough.
I heard you spent over 1.4 million on a new house?
""Then add your new house and your family's hover car.
Although the total value of these still isn't enough to buy a storage ring, it can be considered your sincerity in seeking one.
How about it?"Everyone who heard wanted to refuse.
Stone gambling relies entirely on luck, and it was clear that this Princess had more experience.For such a tiny hope, it wasn't worth it!
Qiu Ling, however, nodded without hesitation, "Alright, it's as you say, with a time limit of one hour.
"Long Bai immediately drafted a betting agreement on his light brain.After Qiu Ling and Qiu Yi clicked 'agree,' the agreement became effective, subject to the supervision of a certain authoritative platform.
If they failed to fulfill the agreement, they would be placed on the Interstellar credit blacklist, and the impact would extend to their partners and family members!
After signing the agreement, Qiu Ling continued to browse the stone gambling stalls.
She quickly picked out three raw Ores and had Qiu Ze hold them while standing next to Long Bai.At this time, Father Qiu and Wei Jing rushed over upon hearing the news.
Seeing that Qiu Ling was fine, they relaxed.
They didn't say a single word about her betting the family's crystal stones, house, and hover car against Qiu Yi.Qiu Ling sighed softly in her heart.
If they knew that this body of hers had a new core, they would probably fight her to the death, right?
Qiu Yi waited until the last minute of the hour to select three raw Ores that she believed had the highest chance of yielding good items, and had her guards carry them, following along.Many people, after buying and selling things, lingered to watch the excitement if they weren't in a hurry, and some even used their light brain to live stream!
Long Bai smiled and said, "It seems both Contract Masters have chosen their respective raw Ores.
Are you sure you won't change them?"Qiu Ling nodded.Qiu Yi looked at the three Ores Qiu Ling had chosen and couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, when choosing raw Ores, shape and size are also relatively important reference data.Qiu Ling's three raw Ores: one was as small as a fist, one as large as a basketball, and another was almost as tall as a person.
Regardless of appearance, size, or texture, they were all extremely ordinary goods, with a low probability of containing anything inside.
"I've also made my selection," Qiu Yi said with a light laugh, "Why don't we open my raw Ores first?
"The stone-cutting master Long Bai invited, Master Cang Xi, was a veteran master in the market.
He rarely cut stones now, mostly teaching apprentices.He picked up a raw Ore and weighed it in his hand, raising an eyebrow slightly.
Those familiar with him knew that there was something inside this raw Ore.
As for what it was and its quality, that depended on luck.Cang Xi placed the stone under the machine and carefully cut it layer by layer.
Soon, a hint of purple appeared at the opening!
Seeing his solemn expression and increasingly careful movements, everyone held their breath and watched.Soon, the entire raw Ore was cut open, revealing a purple prismatic Ore crystal inside.
This was a type of Ore that could enhance weapon attacks, priced at about two hundred thousand crystal stones.
"I think this bet is solid. It's already very difficult just to get something out of it.
..""Right, the probability of getting something out of a raw Ore is less than one in ten, and among those that yield something, the probability of it being valuable is again less than one in ten!
""Tsk tsk, that Contract Master who's prettier than a celebrity, ten million crystal stones are going down the drain.
.."Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and whisper, already feeling sorry for Qiu Ling.Qiu Ling just watched quietly, her peripheral vision catching the fine sweat on the foreheads of the three Qiu Family Members.
They were clearly nervous too, but they kept their lips tightly sealed, not daring to blame her in the slightest.She couldn't help but whisper, "I'm definitely going to win.
I won't lose the family's hover car and house.
""When I win the storage ring, I'll give it to you.
That way, when you go out hunting, it'll be very convenient for traveling back and forth!
"Father Qiu immediately said, "We have a car; we don't need a storage ring.
It's you who will be running around a lot in the future, carrying many things, so you need it more.
.."One of the Qiu Family Members nearby burst out laughing:"I say, Uncle Qiu Zhan, why are you still so overconfident?
Just now, Qiu Yi opened another Time Stone worth seven or eight hundred thousand.
Although it's not big, this one piece is enough to increase a hover car's speed by ten percent.
""Why are you still daydreaming here, thinking you can win?
What's even funnier is that you're even deferring to each other over the storage ring!
"That person's voice was loud, making the dozen or so people around hear clearly, and they followed suit in mocking.Qiu Ling glanced at him indifferently, "My chosen raw Ores haven't been opened yet.
How do you know we can't win?""If I wasn't confident of winning, would I bet so many things?
You're stupid yourself, don't assume everyone else is stupid!
""No one will think you're mute if you don't speak.
"The person's Face flushed red, and he snorted, "Let's see how long you can keep laughing. "
