Chapter 28 Deja Vu

The three of them entered the final election, the fourth one collapsed, and the fifth one went crazy.

This tragic competition made the spectators frightened, but for the three people who passed the selection, the situation may not be as sinister as everyone thought.

Take Lao Ding and Lao Meng as an example. From the first round of competition to now, they have not experienced the tension and entanglement of other participants at all. Those seemingly complicated test questions are as simple and clear as "one plus one". It is a strange thing to them that fail to get the full score.

In theory, gambling on stones is an activity with extremely high uncertainty. Even if Lao Ding and Meng are so sensible, if you ask them to buy stones on the market, they will definitely not be able to see every piece accurately, otherwise these two people would not be embarrassed.

The key to the problem is that the stones used for the exam are not caught randomly from the street. Every raw stone in it has been carefully considered by the Stone Master Association.

It is no exaggeration to say that each stone that appears as the test questions has been certified by several resident-level stone masters many times, and each stone has a specific test point in it. The judgment of the value of these stones has already had nearly 100% certain answers before the exam. Any rough stone with a little doubt will never appear in the previous rounds of exams.

So for the stone masters of the level of Lao Ding and Lao Meng, judging that this kind of stone is undoubtedly not technical, they have a complete inheritance and a broad vision. Compared with the more than 100 resident stone masters in the Western Huang, their skills are only higher and lower, and they are just an opportunity.

Those rough stones that can be 100% certain on the site are naturally boring in the eyes of these two people as if they were children to play house. On the contrary, the skills of the two stone-grade masters in the fourth and fifth should be not much different from most stone-grade masters in the site.

As for the other guy who entered the top three, it was a bit incomprehensible. This stupid guy was obviously not from the mixed stone master circle. Before the public auction started, no one in Yifangcheng had even seen him.

Recently, everyone knows that Master Wu, who loves to show off, buys stones all over the world. When he sees the beautiful female boss, he has to take care of others. He has lost tens of millions of spirit stones in just a few days, but his gains are very small. Not only has he lost a lot of money, he has not left any of his heart.

As the most shining sucker in Yifang City, who would have thought that before today, the top three of the Stone Master Exchange Meeting would have him in his place?

The style of Master Wu in the competition is completely incomprehensible. Even people like Lao Ding and Lao Meng have to be cautious when looking at stones. But this man has always held a transparent bead in his hand. When he catches the stone, he put the beads up and took a few strokes, then went to fill in the answers, but his face always looked like "I'm very bored".

Just like that, except for some problems in the first round of the red stone, he answered no other questions wrong, and he easily entered the finals, which really made the stone master full of the room shout that he couldn't understand.

Lao Ding also turned his gaze to Master Wu's face, then moved to the beads in his hand, and finally shook his head slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at Lao Meng beside him.

"It seems familiar!" Lao Ding suddenly spoke.

Lao Meng laughed: "It really seems familiar."

Lao Ding looked a little solemn: "Twenty years ago, you and me also had another person. In the end, neither of you nor me did what they wanted. I wonder what will happen this time?"

Lao Meng was stunned and replied sinisterly: "Are you talking about this? I thought you said that the guy who chose the wrong stone and got himself entangled with his inner demons seemed familiar!"

"You..." Old Ding's head trembled all over, and a trace of murderous aura appeared in his eyes.

Lao Meng's words seem to be inadvertent, but in fact they are a heart-killing argument, because the person who chose the wrong stone twenty years ago encountered the inner demon was not someone else, but a very high-profile Lao Ding!

Lao Meng smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I am a vulgar person, and I don't have the courage of you. Last time you dared to bet on the extremely risky coniferous flower. I wonder if you encounter the same stone again this time, will you dare to bet on it again?"

Lao Ding sneered and fought back without hesitation: "If you have gambling but don't lose, you dare not gamble and you will never see the scenery above, and you can only gradually become mediocre. Your realm is destined to be over here."

Lao Meng smiled and said, "I remember what you said."

Lao Ding turned his head and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, but suddenly remembered something and asked without hesitation: "This time, you have arranged a stone for me, the blind man?"

The flesh on Lao Meng's cheek slightly raised upwards, leaned against Lao Ding's ears and lowered his voice, "I don't care if you are really blind or fake, that stone was already prepared the moment I heard that you returned to Yifang City. This time, do you dare to take another bet?"

Lao Ding's body stiffened. He really didn't expect that Lao Meng would admit without any concealment that he had prepared a stone for him, which was equivalent to admitting that the stone he had prepared twenty years ago was also prepared by him. This was simply... too rampant!

"Are you so afraid of me?" Old Ding's chest erupted with anger, and he struggled to put him in the chamber.

"Don't overestimate yourself!" Lao Meng shook his head and chuckled: "The qualification of a resident stone-grade master has never been obtained by relying on stone-grade skills alone. Otherwise, you and I still have to wait until we are so old? It's a pity that I realized this too late and wasted so many years for no reason. Fortunately, I could barely have time. But you are destined to be hopeless!"

As soon as Lao Meng said this, Lao Ding's face really changed. If the resident stone master assessment in front of everyone, if it is not just about his pure strength, isn't this world too cruel?

What's even more cruel is that Lao Ding, who has always believed that his skills are better than the sky, knew in an instant that what Lao Meng said was the fact. Or, he might have known this fact long ago, but he was just unwilling to admit it. Now Lao Meng has made all this clear, and the feeling of the collapse of faith almost defeated Lao Ding's heart.

"Give up! The quota of the resident spot this time must be mine!" A complicated look appeared in Lao Meng's eyes: "For years of friendship, I can take care of your life for me, and I will try my best to find an antique for you to break through. If your old bone is tough enough, you may be able to get that day. When you have a long life, it is not impossible for me to help you find an opportunity to stay."

Lao Ding was so upset by him: "Don't dream in daylight, you win first!"

Lao Meng sighed: "Lao Ding, I have said this. I can be considered to be the most righteous? To be fair, if you become a resident, can you treat me like this?"

"Haha!" Lao Ding suddenly felt that these two words could just express his current mood. By the way, where did he learn these two words?

Lao Ding turned his head to Qian Yang's direction, and the silly boy who had no idea what had happened looked at him and quickly put on an exaggerated expression, raised his arms to cheer him up.

"Fool!" Old Ding smiled and cursed, but suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

Compared to the "old brother" who said he wanted to take care of his second half of his life, Lao Ding felt that this bastard boy who was addicted to him made him feel more at ease.

"The finals begin!" President Lu announced in a plain face.

Lao Ding smiled freely, stood back to his position, spread his hands, and watched two faint water vapor floating in his hands.

Taking advantage of the wet mist, Lao Ding slowly brushed his head with his hand, tidily tidied his white hair, and rubbed his eyes hard. When he opened it, his eyes were already as bright as lightning. After taking a deep breath, Lao Ding straightened his spine, his back was straight and his back was no longer old. Then he looked back and gave Lao Meng a bright smile, then stretched out his tail finger and shook it gently, and his lips moved: "A person like you will never have a future!"

Lao Meng subconsciously swallowed, and a hint of shock flashed in his heart for no reason: Lao Ding like this - he had never seen him before!

The stone used in the final was quickly lifted up by the man in black. They were three giant rough stones that were close to human height, and the colors seemed familiar: one black, one yellow, and one white!

The white one looked like a good stone, and the black ones were like flowers in the fog.

Standard for the finals!

Compared to the exam of 10 to 3, the final is the moment to truly test the abilities of the stone master.

In the previous exams, all the basic knowledge was found. The answers to the test questions were already fixed as soon as the questions were set. Before the stones were solved, the examiners had already determined the correct answers, and there was almost no possibility of accidents, because those stones were specially selected without any doubts.

The finals are different.

According to convention, among the three stones in the final, one of the values ​​is easier to determine, while the other two are "difficult" stones that even the masters of the Stone Master Association are not sure about.

These two stones are extremely gambled and may have unexpected gains. Of course, the bigger one may be that there is no harvest in the grain. As for how to choose, it is the key to distinguish between top-quality stone masters and mediocre stone masters.

"One dilemma" three stones are the final rules set since the day of the exchange meeting of the Youli Stone Masters. For many years, many people have become resident stone masters by choosing simple stones, and it is not rare to win the event with a small probability.

The two ways of winning seem irrelevant, but the rules set in this way have their own profound meaning. Unfortunately, it is hard to express. Perhaps only the top stone master can understand the three flavors. It is absolutely not that human beings are as simple as "betting or not gambling", but the result is often simple "betting or not gambling"!

Last time, Lao Ding gambled, he was wrong and lost!

Lao Meng lost without gamble!

Xiao Deng gambled, he bet right, he won!
Chapter completed!
