Chapter 126: The Bet Was Crossed

  There were more people in the square in the afternoon than in the morning, and the whole square was in a state of noise, with occasional shouts of "which side has risen again".

  In such an atmosphere, even those who come here unintentionally can't help but feel itchy and want to gamble once to see if they have good luck and make a fortune.

  Those who sell jade naturally all smile and can't close their mouths, this year's Nanyang market is even more popular than last year. The gains of these sellers are not low, the money they earn is enough to support them for half a year without working.

  Just like in the morning, when Li Yang walked between the gambling stalls, no one stopped him. Those gambling stone sellers even stood up and greeted Li Yang, hoping that Li Yang could also gamble and win at their place, so that business would be more prosperous.

  After walking for more than half an hour, Li Yang couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. The good jade stones these vendors were selling were getting fewer and fewer. In this half-hour period, there wasn't a single piece of jade that caught his eye.

  The crowd suddenly surged forward, with a large number of people moving towards the central area. Li Yang looked up in surprise, but could only see a few people walking at the front, while the rest followed behind.

  Before long, the person walking in front stood on the high platform in the center. Seeing this person, Li Yang immediately understood what was going on.

  The person standing on the high platform is Shao Yuqiang. The crowd that just surged forward was probably following him. The high platform was specially prepared for him and Shao Yuqiang, and apart from himself, only Shao Yuqiang could go up to interpret the stone. If it wasn't to interpret the stone, Shao Yuqiang wouldn't have run up to the high platform either.

  Li Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Shao Yuqiang looked at him with his eyes, using his special ability to see that the speed difference was not just one fold, but he still couldn't choose the gambling stone as quickly as others.

  "Li Yang, why don't we go take a look at the south side? We've been on the north side all morning, maybe changing locations will change our luck."

  Wu Xiaoli suddenly said a sentence, Li Yang looked at her in surprise, and indeed he had never been to the south side of the square, because Shao Yuqiang was there. Subconsciously, Li Yang did not want to search for gambling stones in the same area as Shao Yuqiang, not that he couldn't go.

  "Your suggestion is good, let's go south."

  The square is a whole, no one has drawn a line saying that Li Yang must be on the north side, and after understanding, Li Yang immediately agreed to Wu Xiaoli's suggestion.

  There were not many people following Li Yang, except for Liu Gang and Wu Xiaoli, there were only Sima Lin and Zhang Wei. Wang Haomin immediately ran over to watch the excitement as soon as he saw Shao Yuqiang explaining to Shi Li.

  Actually, Li Yang didn't finish watching the gambling stones on this side, it's just that most of the gambling stones here aren't very good, which made Li Yang feel disappointed and lost the desire to continue watching.

  Shaoyuqiang is now on the central high platform, unsealing the stone. This is the first time someone has unsealed a stone on the newly built high platform, and many people have run over to watch. Additionally, from many locations below, it's possible to clearly see the process of unsealing the stone. At this moment, there are even more people gathered around the high platform than when Liyang was unsealing the stone in the morning.

  Although there are many people, it is not chaotic, and the management office's idea seems to be quite good.

  As soon as Li Yang appeared in the south of the square, he immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially those who sold jade stones, and they looked at Li Yang with a smile. Whether it was Li Yang or Shao Yuqiang, wherever they went, they could bring a crowd, so they naturally hoped that Li Yang would stay here for a while.

  The pebbles on the south side are not much better than those on the north side, still like looking for a needle in the ocean, but with a different mood, finding pebbles doesn't feel as dull as before.

  After walking for over ten minutes, Li Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. The change of location had indeed brought a change in luck, allowing him to discover a very good piece of jade.

  Li Yang found a whole piece of jade, an irregular square shape, the jade is not large, equivalent to two hamburgers stacked together.

  This piece of jade is also quite ordinary, but inside it has a lot of high-grade ice-type jadeite, and the green color is great, like a cucumber skin green. The size is not small either, making several bangles would be no problem at all.

  The performance of this ice species has completely exceeded the beautiful green jade that Shao Yuqiang solved in the morning, but I don't know how well the gambling stone he is solving now will perform. If it doesn't perform as well as this morning's, then it won't be easy for Shao Yuqiang to win against Li Yang today.

  After analyzing the jade, Li Yang looked around and found that this piece of jade had a general appearance, with a rough skin and cracks. The price of such a jade wouldn't be too expensive, and buying it would definitely result in a big profit.

  "Wow"

  Suddenly a commotion came from the central area, and Li Yang and the people around him couldn't help but turn their heads to look. Over there, Shao Yuqiang, who was cutting open the gambling stone, should have already opened it.

  However, Li Yang always felt that this time's noise was a bit strange, and he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was strange about it.

  Shaking his head, Li Yang shifted his attention to the gambling stone in front of him.

  Li Yang pointed at the jade he had set his eyes on and asked the seller, "How much for this piece?"

  "Mr. Li wants it, just 20,000," the seller replied with a smile, clearly recognizing Li Yang.

  The price was reasonable, so Li Yang didn't plan to haggle anymore and was about to pay when a stack of money suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of the gambling stone stall.

  "I want 20,000"

  A man in his thirties walked up from behind, and when he reached Li Yang's side, he smiled wryly at him and said, "Sorry, Mr. Li, but I think you should let me have this one."

  Li Yang's face slowly revealed a hint of anger, and the whole morning had passed without any signs of robbery, which made Li Yang relax his vigilance. However, he did not expect that when he was focusing on a piece of ice-colored jade, someone would take advantage of him.

  "Do you understand the rules?" Li Yang turned his head and glared at the person who wanted to rush to buy, saying angrily.

  The person who came to grab the Li Yang's gambling stone seemed to have no intention of it, smiled and was about to speak, but the seller suddenly said: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Li has already taken this piece of gambling stone, I can't sell it to you."

  Li Yang hastily turned around, the gambler who sold stones was smiling at him. The money that person had just thrown away was still on the stall, and this gambler didn't even glance at the stack of cash.

  A few seconds later, Li Yang finally came to his senses and hastily handed over 20,000 cash to the seller, with an excited smile on his face: "Boss, thank you!"

  At this time, Li Yang's bad mood was swept away, and Sima Lin and others were also stunned there. The development of things changed too fast, so fast that they didn't react before the matter ended.

  Zhang Wei shook his head constantly beside him, and the bad start made by Shao Yuqiang had a really bad influence. As soon as he got back, he would immediately make a suggestion to eliminate this phenomenon, or else all the activities in Nanyang Jushi might be ruined.

  "No need to be polite, not every businessman only recognizes money. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Defeng, Zhao Dezhu is my brother."

  The seller smiled and said, Li Yang was stunned again, and his face looked a bit strange.

  It turns out that I and the Zhao family have a good relationship. Zhao Dezhou's Li Yang had previously gambled on glass and ice, and this time he bought a piece of jadeite rough stone containing ice jade from his younger brother. The Zhao family is indeed Li Yang's lucky star.

  Li Yang took the gambling stone and pointed to it, saying: "So you're Zhao's younger brother. Thanks a lot this time, I really appreciate this gambling stone."

  "Mr. Li, what you think is good must be right. If it's a good piece of jade, I hope Mr. Li can come to our place to take a photo together."

  Zhao Defeng smiled and nodded, the person who had just been tempted to buy Li Yang's gambling stone had already picked up his money and run to one side, disappearing into the crowd in a moment.

  "Don't worry, if I get a good piece of jade, I'll definitely come to you"

  Li Yang got up with the gambling stone, Liu Gang took over the gambling stone from Li Yang's hand. Every time Liu Gang would help Li Yang hold the gambling stone, Li Yang couldn't win against him and could only let him do it.

  Several people were walking towards the central high platform, when Wang Haomin suddenly ran over from a distance and shouted loudly as soon as he saw Li Yang: "Good news, good news! Brother Li!"

  "What's the good news?" Sima Lin asked in puzzlement.

  "That kid, he's gone bankrupt"

  Wang Haomin finished speaking and snatched the mineral water from Zhang Wei's hand, pouring it into his belly without caring whether Zhang had drunk any or not. In order to tell them this news as soon as possible, Wang Haomin ran for a short while.

  "Really?"

  Sim Lin and Zhang Wei asked in unison, both eyes flashing with joy. Shao Yuqiang was the first to go and remove the stone after the high platform was built, but he failed at the first attempt, which was a huge blow to him.

  And this time, there are thousands of people watching, on the high platform, it's not like in front of a few people who can see the stone unloader below, many spectators around can clearly see the movements on the high platform, only those far away will not be able to see clearly.

  "Yes, he's crossed the line, this kid's face is almost green with rage, haha, refreshing, really refreshing"

  Wang Haomin gulped down nearly half a bottle of mineral water, and after drinking it, he burst out laughing with great joy. Several people laughed along with him, while Li Yang just smiled lightly and shook his head. After all, Shao Yuqiang didn't have this heaven-defying ability, no matter how high his level was, there would always be times when he lost a bet, and this wasn't the first time Shao Yuqiang had lost a bet either.

  After receiving this message, Li Yang and his group walked even faster. Shao Yuqiang would soon finish crossing the high platform, and it would be Li Yang's turn to go on stage to interpret the stele.

  As they approached the high platform, people around were discussing Shao Yuqiang's gambling cross, in fact, these few days Shao Yuqiang was not the first time to gamble cross, it's just that before he gambled cross, not so many people saw it at the same time, plus his rising times were more, those few times of gambling cross didn't attract attention.

  But this time it's different, the high platform has become a stage for him and Li Yang in everyone's heart. Shao Yuqiang was the first to go up and lift the stone, but he ended up failing, and everyone thought again that Shao Yuqiang is not as good as Li Yang, unless Li Yang also comes up and fails miserably.

  On the high platform, Shao Yuqiang's face only had a hint of bitter smile, and it wasn't as exaggerated as Wang Haomin said. The people around Shao Yuqiang started to clean up the debris on the stone machine, since they had crossed over, there was no need for them to continue staying on top.

  When he came down, Shao Yuqiang saw Li Yang and was slightly stunned. He then looked at the gambling stone in Liu Gang's hand, nodded with a friendly smile, and left from the side.

  Li Yang couldn't help but secretly praise him. This Shaoyuqiang, regardless of his personality, just this mindset is worth learning from many people. Whether he's betting on a rise or a fall, his mood doesn't fluctuate greatly. No wonder he can become the apprentice of the Jade King.
