After bidding farewell to Lin Jiaqi, Zhao Jinbao continued to stroll around the city. In the afternoon, he slept on Wang Tao's bed for a while, causing him to be especially energetic. He had long heard of the bustling night market in the city, so Zhao Jinbao planned to take advantage of this to have some fun tonight.

The night markets of Yutai County were usually concentrated in a few fixed areas, which made it easier for people to search for them, as well as for the government departments to rent them. Under the driver's lead, Zhao Jinbao finally arrived at one of the night markets.

As soon as he got off the car, Zhao Jinbao had an illusion. The scene in front of him was not at all like what he should have been at night.

It's a big square, full of everything, food, clothes, games, everything." The items on the night market were cheap, so many women and men who owned families would choose this time to shop.

Zhao Jinbao was not interested in any of these. Amongst the hundreds of stalls, the one that attracted his attention the most was a grocery store selling broken stones.

Walking in front of him, Zhao Jinbao looked at the people around the stalls, and used all sorts of strange stones to compare them, his face occasionally frowning and thinking, then asked: "This big brother, what are they doing, it's just a piece of broken stone, it doesn't even look like a work of art, what's there to research!"

"Hey, young man, you can't speak carelessly. I am betting on stones!"

"Stone gambling? What the heck is this? You can even bet on stones? " Zhao Jinbao was startled, this was the first time he had heard of this.

The person who spoke looked at Zhao Jinbao in shock, but then laughed and said: "Young lad, you aren't a local, are you?"

"I'm from the village below, this is my first time coming to the county!" Zhao Jinbao did not hide anything, the rural people did not steal nor steal, there was nothing to hide.

"Since you don't know, then I'll tell you." The big brother pointed at the stones on the stall and said, "See those stones? They are not ordinary stones, these stones can cut out some of the jade precious stones. Although they are not the main body, but there are still many good things in these stones, if you can cut them out, then you will earn a lot!"

"What if it can't be cut out?"

"If you can't cut it out, that means you don't have enough luck. That's why it's called a rock gambling." On the side, luck has taken up a lot of space. If everyone could cut it out, then there would be no betting anymore. " The warm-hearted elder brother smiled.

Zhao Jinbao nodded his head. From his concern for his big brother, he roughly understood the meaning behind the stone bet, but this kind of thing that was mostly made of luck, it was too mystical. Even if one lost nine times in a row, they would probably not be able to cut anything good, if not why would the other party not cut it themselves and take it out to sell.

"Kid, how about we go cut one and try our luck?" The warm-hearted brother touched Zhao Jinbao with his arm, and looked as if he was just joining in on the fun.

"But I don't know how. I don't even know how to choose a rock. Isn't it a waste of money!"

It's impossible for people to come to the stalls to buy these kinds of materials. Don't look around at those people, they're just pretending to understand everything. This is your first time. Because he was afraid of spending money, he wanted Zhao Jinbao to take the initiative.

Zhao Jinbao thought about it, and in his heart, he also felt that he had been lucky. What if they hit the mark, plus, looking at the prices of these stones, it would only cost him a little more than a hundred dollars, so even if he didn't get anything, he wouldn't lose much money.

Walking in front of the stall, the old man smiled at Zhao Jinbao and rubbed his hands, saying, "Little brother, give me two pieces and try your luck. These are all side materials from the Jadeite Plains, the chances of slicing out the Jadeite Stone is really high!"

"Hmm, let me see." Zhao Jinbao replied, then took a look at the Hundred Origin Sector. This time he thought it was just playing around, so he was not planning on buying expensive things.

As long as it was a gamble, no one wouldn't want to win. Although Zhao Jinbao didn't know how to gamble, he still wanted to choose the most suitable rock. His fingers gently brushed across each rock, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that these stones were of no difference.

Seeing that he could not figure it out, Zhao Jinbao decided to just randomly pick one and it would be fine. But at this moment, his hand coincidentally fell on top of a rock, and at the same time, the dragon pearl inside his body unexpectedly produced a slight fluctuation.

Although the fluctuation was very small, Zhao Jinbao could feel it. Looking at the rock he was pointing at, Zhao Jinbao made a guess in his heart.

"Little brother, how is it? Have you chosen?" The old man selling rocks reminded him in a low voice.

"Yes, this one." Zhao Jinbao picked up the stone and asked, "How do I cut it?"

"This needs a special knife, I'll help you cut it!" As the old man said this, he took the stone from Zhao Jinbao's hand, took out the knife that specialized in cutting stone, and quickly cut a small corner on the stone.

There was a rule in the rock gambling business, which was that once a person used a knife, the buyer or seller must not go back on their word. Zhao Jinbao did not care, because he was only gambling with the intention of playing, but the elder who sold the stones was different.

There were two relatively large jade companies in Yutai County, one was Lin's Group, and the other was the Zhou's Group. These side materials were all from these two jade companies' garbage heap, the old man measured these side materials by kilograms from the truck driver, and then sold them at the price of one hundred and two hundred each.

If these stones could cut something, then it would be hell, and he was afraid that Zhao Jinbao would go back on his words, hence he immediately cut the rock.

Zhao Jinbao stared at the rock in the grandpa's hand, slicing it open didn't matter at all. He just wanted to prove that the dragon pearl was moved because of the rock.

The stone became smaller and smaller under the grandpa's sharp blade, and the eyes of the surrounding people were also gradually drawn over. The warm-hearted big brother of before almost popped his eyeballs out, as the saying goes, a spectator doesn't mind if it's big or not. Whether it's cut or not, it's not like he was going to spend money, so his heart was very satisfied.

"Yi, the pattern of the stone has changed. Its color is also gradually changing. There's something inside!" The young man closest to the old man suddenly pointed at the stone in the old man's hand and exclaimed.

When he shouted, a few people who often gambled with stones immediately went up to take a look. The old man also noticed that something was wrong, and the blade in his hand gradually slowed down. At the same time, he started to plan in his heart, if he really wanted to cut out a treasure, he should give it to Zhao Jinbao.

Finally, after the grandpa's strike, Shi Yi fell off the stone surface. A hint of dark green appeared from the earlier cut.
