Chapter 1013: A Small Profit?
Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: A Small Profit?
Would Lan Xuanyu and his team have good fortune? In fact, it had nothing to do with luck at all.
Even without much disguise, after taking a round inside, Lan Xuanyu had seven number plates in his hand. It took him just five minutes to make his choices from the lowest-grade area. He walked out and handed over the number plates. Then, all he needed to do was wait.
A few minutes later, the seven minerals they had chosen were brought out.
Since they were items selected from the lowest-grade area, they didn’t even come in boxes. Seven ore blocks, each of a different style. But all were wrapped in thick layers of ore, looking no different from ordinary stones.
“Shall we evaluate here?” asked a Blue Sea Tribe member at the door.
“Of course,” Lan Xuanyu nodded.
Next to the Betting Area was a huge evaluation area, where exclamations of surprise and sighs of regret were heard from time to time. Some had won, but even more had lost.
The Betting Area of the Mineral Trading Center was immensely spacious, which was an important source of income. It made the trading center incredibly wealthy.
How many good items were in the Betting Area was preset, ensuring a stable profit. But those who came to bet, even if they knew this, still hoped to seize the opportunity by relying on their own judgement and luck. Who doesn’t dream of striking it rich overnight?
In the somewhat chaotic evaluation area, each member of Lan Xuanyu’s team held a large chunk of ore and made their way to a corner counter. Behind the counter sat a creature slender in build, with a dozen tentacles on its head. This was a special species from a small planet in the Dragon Horse Star System, known as the Blackbeard Clan. They were not numerous or powerful. However, they possessed a keen sensitivity to various metals.
“Put it there. One by one,” said the Blackbeard Clan member in the Dragon Horse Star System’s official language.
Lan Xuanyu placed a pitch-black ore in his hand down, and the Blackbeard nonchalantly laid a hand upon the ore. After a moment, he looked at Lan Xuanyu with some surprise and said, “Hey, blue-skinned guy, you’re pretty lucky! Inside this, there’s at least over ten kilograms of Star Sea Silver Crystal, a good thing. Did you get this from the five hundred area? Big win. If we recycle it directly, we can give you four thousand five hundred Dragon Horse Coins. Of course, if you’re willing to take the trouble to mine it and sell it outside, you might get even more.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “I’ll sell it to you directly.” He did not mention that he had obtained it from an area costing only five Dragon Horse Coins.
Bai Xiuxiu was the second to place her ore.
“Six kilograms of star iron. Worth two thousand three hundred Dragon Horse Coins,” said the Blackbeard with some surprise, as two good items had come out in a row.
When Tang Yuge put the third chunk of ore onto the counter and after it was sensed, the Blackbeard became somewhat agitated. Another hit, “This is… magic silver. One kilogram, at least a whole kilogram. Valued at three thousand five hundred Dragon Horse Coins. Are you all together?”
Lan Xuanyu said, “That’s not important. Keep checking, we will sell them all to you.”
Soon, all seven ore blocks were assessed, each containing rare metals or energy minerals. The total value exceeded twenty-three thousand Dragon Horse Coins.
The Blackbeard was already gobsmacked. Here, he had seen people get rich overnight. But to hit the jackpot on seven consecutive ores was really too rare.
He needed to report this to his superiors.
“Let’s complete the transaction quickly; we want all cash. We’re planning to bet again,” said Lan Xuanyu.
“Okay, okay,” the Blackbeard, who had initially looked down on these ordinary members of the Blue Sea Tribe, had now become somewhat respectful. That was twenty-three thousand Dragon Horse Coins!
That was not a small figure even on Sky Dragon Planet.
Of course, for the Mineral Trading Center, that was not a lot of money.
Very quickly, twenty-three thousand Dragon Horse Coins were handed to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu satisfactorily put away the money and turned back. He entered the Betting Area once again.
“How about it? Hit the jackpot?” The Blue Sea Tribesman selling tickets curiously looked toward Lan Xuanyu and his group.
“Yep, we hit it. A small win,” Lan Xuanyu said with a smile, “This time we’re buying five-hundred Dragon Horse Coin bets. Seven of them.” While speaking, he directly took out three thousand five hundred Dragon Horse Coins in cash and handed them over.
The Blue Sea Tribesman’s eyes widened instantly. Those who could spend five hundred Dragon Horse Coins to enter the Betting Area were definitely loaded. Previously, they were in the five Dragon Horse Coin area, and now they had jumped from the lowest level to the highest level, which truly took him by surprise.
In fact, the best items were obviously in the five-hundred area. Initially, due to a tight budget and wanting to test the waters, they had chosen the cheapest area. However, within the five-hundred area, there were some items that Lan Xuanyu absolutely could not pass up. These were treasures that once gone, wouldn’t be found again!
They entered, picked out, and seven more ores were selected. After coming out this time, Lan Xuanyu stored five of the ores inside his Ring of Destiny, without any intention of opening them there. He only took two with him and headed back to the identification area.
Both ores were quite large, with the biggest one having a diameter of more than two meters, carried over by Qian Lei.
The weight of the ore was definitely over five tons, but its appearance was the most unremarkable, looking almost like any ordinary rock.
They found the same member of the Blackbeard Clan as before.
“This time only two pieces? You didn’t hit the jackpot again, did you?” the member of the Blackbeard Clan chuckled. He couldn’t believe that these blue-skinned folks were still in luck.
“We’ll see,” Lan Xuanyu gestured to the Blackbeard, signaling to start with the smaller piece of ore.
The Blackbeard placed his hand on the surface of the ore, with a faint black halo flickering on his hand.
Moments later, his complexion began to change, his voice trembling, “This, this is stygian iron. A huge piece of stygian iron. At least, at least thirty kilograms. This, this is worth forty thousand, at least forty thousand Dragon Horse Coins.”
“Alright, I’ll sell it to you,” Lan Xuanyu said calmly, for he knew exactly what was inside.
“The other one.” Lan Xuanyu pointed to the huge “rock” beside him.
By this point, the Blackbeard could no longer keep his composure. To him, these people of the Blue Sea Tribe didn’t seem to be betting, but rather robbing. How could it be possible to buy nine and win nine?
He knew very well that in the five-hundred area, the chances of hitting a profitable bet were around five percent. Other areas were even lower. Of course, there would be some exceptionally valuable items in the five-hundred area, creating myths of overnight riches and enticing more people to bet.
Such a large piece of stygian iron was definitely among the top fifty valuable items. To know that in the entire five-hundred area, there are at least over ten thousand kinds of ores. Five hundred to forty thousand, that’s an eighty-fold return!
The Blackbeard was green with envy, truly envious. His monthly salary was merely three hundred Dragon Horse Coins.
While envious, he still had to continue working. He approached the large stone, his hands caressing it, the black halo flickering in and out of sight. After a long while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and loudly said, “No hit, you guys didn’t hit this time. But I have to say, your luck today has been too good.”
“No hit? Could your perception be wrong?” Lan Xuanyu said flatly.
“That’s impossible. Don’t underestimate me, Ober Blackbeard. How could my perception be wrong?” Blackbeard said fiercely.
Lan Xuanyu shrugged and replied, “Then let’s open it up and see.” As he spoke, he raised his hand and gave the large rock a gentle pat.
Instantly, the gigantic rock trembled ever so slightly. It didn’t make much of a roar, but a series of cracks appeared on its surface.
A single palm strike that cracked such a big rock made the Blackbeard pause in his tracks, realizing he might have encountered a powerful member of the Blue Sea Tribe.
Each race had its powerhouses, and the Blue Sea Tribe was no exception. Among the top powerhouses of the Blue Sea Tribe, there were even those at the God Rank. Especially in the sea, their strength was very formidable, which is why they were one of the major tribes on Sky Dragon Planet.
