“Then it’s settled!”
Cao Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes. She didn’t expect Wang Teng to agree so quickly.
It wasn’t as simple as having self-confidence!
Without a bit of self-confidence, he wouldn’t dare to face two cosmos-stage martial warriors and a heaven-stage martial warrior from the Cao family.
She didn’t believe that he didn’t inquire about the Cao family’s situation after being in Great Qian City for such a long time.
!!
“Alright. I’ll honor my word and be there. Don’t worry. I won’t run away.” Wang Teng chuckled.
“So, are you all buying? If you’re not, don’t disrupt me from doing my business.” The fox race boss was unhappy and urged them.
“You are buying this ore?” Cao Jiaojiao glanced at the stall and asked.
“I’m just looking around.” Wang Teng’s eyes flashed as he replied.
“I’ll have this piece of ore.” Cao Guan looked at the fox race boss and asked, “How much is this?”
“Thirty million GQC.” The fox race boss rolled his eyes and raised three fingers.
“Thirty million? You might as well rob a bank. A piece of Crimson Constellation Bronze as large as this is worth just over thirty million. You have the gall to sell a gambling stone for thirty million.” Cao Guan glared. He only wanted to deny Wang Teng of his opportunity and get ripped off.
“You can’t say that. These two took a fancy to this ore, which means that it is unique. It might not be pure Crimson Constellation Bronze, but getting a gambling stone is betting on this possibility.” The fox race wasn’t bothered and smiled at Wang Teng. “You agree?”
“You’re just raising the price,” Cao Guan said angrily.
“I think what the boss said was right. Since Young Master Cao is so rich, thirty million shouldn’t be a problem for you.” Wang Teng smiled.
“I…” Cao Guan was speechless. He felt like he had dug a hole for himself and had to jump inside.
“A retard like you should stop trying to scheme.” Cao Jiaojiao smiled disdainfully and then said to Wang Teng, “You don’t seem to want this ore. Why are you giving it up so easily?”
“I’m a poor man after all. I can’t afford to pay thirty million. Otherwise, I would have fought for it with Young Master Cao.”
An Lan: →_→
This guy is so shameless!
A man who had just earned five billion from him was poor?
Pfft!
However, he didn’t open his mouth and continued to observe how Wang Teng would deal with this.
Although the Crimson Constellation Bronze was one of the forging materials for the Thousand Armaments Vessel, he wasn’t worried as he believed in Wang Teng, the one with three grandmaster titles.
“Hehe, do you think I will believe that?” Cao Jiaojiao said. “We don’t want it. You can have it.”
“Why are you so polite? Then…” Wang Teng chuckled and changed his tone. “Old An, pay for this.”
“Okay!” An Lan responded quickly and traded with the boss. “Boss, what’s your account number? I’ll transfer the money to you.”
The fox race boss was not in a hurry at all. He glanced at Cao Guan and Cao Jiaojiao with a smile. “You don’t want this?”
“This…” Cao Guan was stumped.
Cao Jiaojiao frowned and stared at Wang Teng. She was trying to see something from his face, but all she could see was that provocative smile.
She was a little helpless. He was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
“We don’t,” Cao Jiaojiao replied.
“No, I want this piece of ore. It’s just thirty million. I can afford it.” Cao Guan gritted his teeth and glared at Wang Teng.
An Lan looked at Wang Teng, who shrugged his shoulders. “Young Master Cao is really generous. You can have it.”
This time, Cao Guan didn’t go back on his decision and bought it straight away. Cao Jiaojiao frowned at Cao Guan, but she didn’t stop him. She wasn’t sure about the ore as well.
Wang Teng was really unpredictable. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
They had stopped themselves previously for Cao Hongtu’s sake. Now, since Cao Guan insisted on buying it, she wouldn’t intervene.
The fox boss felt a little regretful. He initially thought that both sides would fight for it and increase the price. He didn’t expect Wang Teng to give it up just like that.
However, he still earned thirty million.
A whole piece of Crimson Constellation Bronze was worth thirty million. What he had was just a gambling stone. He had initially bought it for five million and was planning to sell it for seven or eight million. Earning a profit of two million was good enough. Now, he earned a profit of twenty-five million. He made a lot of money.
After the transaction was done, Cao Guan got his subordinates to carry the ore and gave Wang Teng a provocative look.
“I’m going to open it up now. You can take a look if you have the guts.”
“Sure, I’m also curious to see what is in that ore.” Wang Teng smiled and nodded as if he didn’t care that Cao Guan had snatched his piece of ore away.
His look made Cao Guan feel as though he had punched a bag of cotton. He couldn’t vent his frustration anywhere.
“That shop in front can open up ores. Let’s go over.” Cao Guan led the way.
Wang Teng spoke to An Lan before following Cao Guan and the others towards the ore shop.
Cao Guan paid a processing fee and got the other party to cut the ore.
There were many types of ores in the universe, and they were all made up of different substances. Only common ores could be detected by machines. There were many restrictions, and the shape of the ores could not be detected.
That was why there were gambling stones.
The content and the shape of the ores were different. One could only depend on their experience and luck in opening up ores.
The man who was opening up the ore seemed like a fifty-year-old master. He looked at Cao Guan and asked, “How do you want to cut it?”
“Directly in half,” Cao Guan replied.
The master nodded.
Crimson Constellation Bronze was meant to be used for forging and would eventually be smelted. The shape and size of it didn’t matter. They only needed to open it.
The query just now was a business tradition. After all, if someone wanted to make an issue out of it, it would be the craftsmen who would suffer.
There were many people who came to watch. No matter where it was, it was human nature to join the fun, especially if there was a bit of gambling involved. There were many curious people.
Screech…
The master started working, and a saw pressed downwards with the machine. When the blade touched the ore, an ear-piercing sound irritated the spectators.
Crimson Constellation Bronze was not an ordinary ore. They were extremely hard, and the quality of the saw had to be at the third-rank grandmaster level. Ordinary people couldn’t afford that.
After a while, the ore was split into two halves. Everyone craned their necks to take a look.
“Is there anything?”
“Who knows, it might be just junk.”
“I don’t see any green. Isn’t the Crimson Constellation Bronze green?”
The surface was covered with dust and some couldn’t see what was inside. Everyone started discussing it.
The master splashed it with water and revealed what was underneath the dust.
“Oh… He lost the gamble!”
“He lost everything!”
“There’s nothing in the middle. There’s only a bit of it on the sides. Thirty million has gone to waste.”
…
“How did this happen?” Cao Guan’s face turned pale as he couldn’t accept it.
Cao Jiaojiao frowned and sighed. Sure enough, Cao Guan couldn’t deal with Wang Teng. He was a sly little fox.
“Young Master Cao, you don’t seem to have good luck.” Wang Teng gloated.
“You played dirty!” Cao Guan’s eyes were filled with rage as he glared at Wang Teng.
Thirty million had gone to waste just like that. There was only a bit of Crimson Constellation Bronze at the side of the ore. He couldn’t even sell it for 100,000 GQC. He made such a huge loss.
“Hey, you don’t have to watch what you eat, but you have to watch what you say. I didn’t force you to buy it.” Wang Teng spread his hands.
“You’re shameless!” Cao Guan’s eyes were bloodshot. He turned his head and shouted at the old master, “Cut it one more time. I don’t believe such a large piece of ore has only so much Crimson Constellation Bronze.”
“The result is clear. Young man, you just can’t afford to lose,” the old master shook his head and muttered.
“What did you say, old man?” Cao Guan was furious.
“Alright, stop making a fool out of yourself.” Cao Jiaojiao stopped him.
Cao Guan was drained of his strength.
“Have you finished cutting? It’s our turn!” At this moment, An Lan walked up from behind with a smile. He then tossed a piece of ore to the master and got his help to open it up.
“When did you buy this?” Cao Jiaojiao frowned.
She glanced at that piece of ore and recognized that it was underneath the one that Cao Guan had bought. It was much bigger.
It was just that the piece of ore had not been opened up yet. It looked just like an ordinary, inconspicuous rock.
Cao Guan also recognized the ore and finally understood something. “This was the one that you wanted to buy?”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I just bought one to play with it,” Wang Teng said.
“Don’t be excited, Wang Teng. This ore is a piece of junk. Even that stall owner didn’t care about it. Stop dreaming, thinking that you can detect Crimson Constellation Bronze.” Cao Guan grunted.
“Who knows,” Wang Teng said indifferently.
“Old master, please open up the ore.” An Lan urged with a smile.
“This ore…” The old master shook his head. It didn’t look too good either. “How do you want to cut this ore?”
“We’ll cut it in half as well,” An Lan replied.
The master nodded and cut it.
Screeching sounds spread out once more. The moment the ore opened up, a ray of soft red-green light emanated subtly from underneath the dust.
Everyone widened their eyes.
“Old master, pour some water and take a look.”
“I actually cut out something.” The old master was surprised and quickly took a large basin of water.
The entire cut surface was exposed, and around eighty percent of the area was red-green, which was extremely dazzling.
“Damn it, what a huge harvest!”
“This piece of Crimson Constellation Bronze is worth at least hundreds of millions.”
“Damn, it must be hundreds of millions. What luck!”
…
There was an uproar and everyone was jealous.
“How… How is this possible!” Cao Guan’s face turned green as he rushed up and stared at the ore before shouting in despair.

Cao Jiaojiao’s face was full of astonishment as well. She couldn’t believe it.
“Hahaha. You’re really good!” An Lan patted Wang Teng’s shoulder and laughed heartily.
