Chapter 68: Betting on Treasure? (Additional Chapter)
Mo Wen tossed a gold coin to the waiter and followed Su Lingfeng out of the Jinhua wine tavern.
Su Lengfeng was young in years, and his figure had not yet fully developed, but he looked extremely handsome, and with that calm and indifferent temperament, he seemed to have a unique charm.
Mo Wenchen is even more elegant and refined, extraordinary and outstanding, born with a unique quality of being a focal point.
This handsome and beautiful couple in black and white is very eye-catching, causing passersby to frequently turn their heads.
"What are you following me for?" Su Lengfeng's eyes scanned the night view of Jiacheng, asking Mo Xunchen beside him.
"I promised Saki, of course I'll send you back."
"It's still early, I'm not ready to go back yet."
"Alright then, I'll accompany you for a stroll. I've been to this town several times, so I should be more familiar with it than you. Let me be your guide." Mo Xuan said with a smiling face.
Su Lingfeng didn't bother to respond to Mo Xichen again, he liked following him, so he just followed along.
"Where does little girl want to go? Jewelry store? Clothing store?"
"Not interested."
"So what are you interested in? I remember there's a pastry shop to the left, their desserts taste pretty good, want to go try some?"
"I won't go."
"Uh..."
"What's that place?" Su Lengfeng interrupted Mo Xichen's chatter, pointing to a nearby shop with bright lights and a constant flow of customers, and asked.
Mo Wen dust followed Su Lingfeng's finger and glanced in the direction he was pointing, smiling and replied: "That is a treasure gambling house, want to go take a look?"
"What's going on?" Su Lengfeng repeated in confusion.
"Yes, gambling treasures is a very popular industry and also an industry that drives many people crazy." Mo Xuan said calmly: "You should know that refining equipment and inlaying equipment, apart from requiring magic cores, also require various metals, minerals, and attribute gems, right?"
"Hmm." Su Lengfeng nodded.
"This is a gamble, a gamble on various properties of gemstones! Because in this world, there is no way to see through the internal structure of uncut gemstones. Without cutting open the stone material, it's impossible to determine whether it's a precious stone or a worthless one. Those who gamble on gemstones rely on experience and visual inspection to purchase uncut gemstones, and then cut them open. Whether they become overnight millionaires or throw away thousands of dollars is mostly a matter of luck. The thrill of the gamble is what gamblers are after."
"Hmm." Su Lengfeng nodded again, indicating he was listening.
Mo Wen paused for a moment, then continued: "There are many types of attribute gems, such as resistance gems like fire, water, and electricity... and various elemental system gems. There are also gems that resist negative states like dizziness, entanglement, and slowing down. Although life-system mages can add all sorts of blessing halos, after all, there aren't many mages, and even fewer life-system mages. Many adventure teams don't have a life-system mage at all, so many adventurers choose to inlay various attribute gems on their equipment."
"Oh." Sounds like it's a bit like the modern gambling culture, except that nowadays people gamble with jade, while here they're gambling with various attribute gems.
"Resistance gems are not the most valuable, because during battle you can't choose your opponent. Wearing a full set of fire-resistant gear and running into an ice mage is completely useless. Only rich players will prepare multiple sets of equipment with various attributes. Most people will choose to inlay defensive, attacking, critical hit, speed, and spirit gathering properties on their equipment, these gems are much more expensive than resistance gems. Of course, there are further divisions based on the quality..."
The two of them chatted as they walked and had already arrived at the entrance of a gambling den called "Kai Bao Tang".
