Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 260 Gambling on Stones

The three of them soon followed Old Yu and arrived at a deep alley. This place was very close to the outer city area of ​​Scott. Bai Hao estimated that the rent should be very expensive.

Old Yu and the three of them finally stopped in front of a three-story house made of bluestone bricks and tiles. His skinny hands rummaged in the pockets of his robe and soon took out a long silver key.

"I just rented this warehouse yesterday, but the black-hearted boss refused to pay me a daily rent and insisted on signing a lease for several months..."

Bai Hao followed behind Old Yu, listening to his mumblings nonchalantly, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Can anyone be as evil as you?

"Squeak-"

As Old Yu turned the key, the door of the stone warehouse was quickly opened, and the sound of wood being squeezed spread throughout the alley in a slightly suppressed manner.

Combined with the dim and cold tone of the place, it sounded a bit creepy. Youla subconsciously hugged Bai Hao's arm tightly. Seeing this, Olmia pursed her lips, and an inexplicable feeling of envy surged in her heart.

It's a pity that as the current saint of the Bright Moon Goddess sect and also a mage of the elemental class, it seems that nothing in this world can scare her.

The three followed Old Yu and slowly walked into the warehouse. After crossing the threshold, they were greeted by a faint smell of lime, mixed with the mixed smell of old wood and rust.

"Hey, you can choose whatever you like. This warehouse has thousands of gray stones of all sizes. They are all excellent stones that can produce treasures!"

Listening to Old Yu's introduction, Bai Hao roughly knew that the stones in this warehouse should have been carefully screened by him. These vendors who run the gambling stone business basically have some special screening methods.

Bai Hao was not polite and immediately opened his divine vision to scan all the surrounding stones. As the number of stones increased, there were indeed quite a few stones that could produce good stuff.

Bai Hao knew many precious minerals and magic stones. Not only had he seen them in drawings in books, he had even played with them with his hands or disassembled them directly.

After all, there has never been a shortage of such things at the auction house in Campbell County, and in order to find the most suitable materials for magical transformation, Bai Hao has wasted a lot of precious ores.

"Youla, please help me pick some," Bai Hao looked around and chuckled, "Let's go to the shelf over there!"

Youla looked at Bai Hao's shining eyes and immediately understood something, so she excitedly ran in the direction Bai Hao pointed.

There are a lot of good stuff on the shelf that Bai Hao chose for Youla. Although there are still nearly a hundred stones there, Bai Hao believes that Youla can definitely accurately find the most valuable stones.

Youla came to the shelf and quickly picked out a dozen stones. Most of these stones were round and smooth in appearance. Seeing this, Old Yu's uneasiness immediately dissipated a lot.

Originally, Old Yu was a little worried that Bai Hao and the other two were ruthless characters who were pretending to be pigs and eating the tigers, but when he saw You La's simple and rough way of selecting stones, Old Yu immediately judged that You La was a novice in gambling on stones.

After all, there is no clue at all from the surface of the graystone, and according to Lao Yutou's experience, the more beautiful the graystone looks, the more likely it is that there is useless garbage inside.

Experienced gambling stone players must complete the four steps of "weighing, divining, asking and hearing". These four important things are indispensable, so as to eliminate most of the waste stones.

Weighing means weighing. By feeling the mass distribution of the limestone, we can judge the mineral composition within it. Different rare minerals have completely different mass distributions.

Zhan is divination, through astrology and divination spells to judge your fortune for the day, so as to choose the gray stone that suits you best.

Asking is inquiring. By talking with the owner of the stone stall, you can know the specific situation of the limestone production area, and then make a simple elimination based on some theoretical knowledge of ore.

Smell means smell. The stone layers of some gray stones are relatively loose, and many gray stones even have some natural small holes. Special sensory enhancement magic can smell a slight odor of the internal ore.

The highlight of Youla's way of selecting stones is that it is done at will. As long as she sees something beautiful and pleasing to the eye, she will choose it. There is no fancy tricks at all.

"Olmia, can you help me pick a few pieces?" Bai Hao asked softly, looking at the saint with a cold expression on the side.

"These are just some boring street tricks. I'm here just to protect you."

"Well, actually, I'm just curious if our sect has any secret method that can easily see through this gray stone..."

Olmia frowned and said, "Of course there are. I have taught for tens of thousands of years, and there are countless high-level magic related to sensory enhancement. How could I not be able to see through these things?"

Bai Hao couldn't help but said, "These are all gray stones that are recognized on the mainland as having extremely high magic resistance! I don't believe that ordinary magic can see through these gray stones."

Seeing Bai Hao's somewhat unbelievable expression, Olmia pursed her lips and said, "I'll find some stones to prove it to you later."

"I guess you're not as good as Yura."

Listening to Bai Hao's provocative words, Olmia shook her head and chuckled: "Haha, if I win, then for the next week, you have to come to my room every night and listen to my preaching obediently!"

Ever since Olmia discovered that the secret missionary skills she was proud of had no effect on Bai Hao, she has been brooding over the matter of missionary work for Bai Hao.

Bai Hao's identity is very important to the Bright Moon Goddess Sect, and most of the sect's high-ranking officials have already regarded Bai Hao as the future Holy Son.

Therefore, Bai Hao's ideological work and the training of the Bright Moon Doctrine are urgent, but what makes Olmia feel embarrassed is that Bai Hao's mind is all focused on magic research.

Bai Hao has always been very resistant to the complicated and boring doctrines and the obscure sacred texts, and it is impossible for Olmia to use violence to force Bai Hao. After all, Bai Hao has not even joined the church yet.

Bai Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had also tried to read the teachings and scriptures of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect, but he would always yawn within five minutes. This was definitely a painful mental torture for Bai Hao.

But after thinking for a moment, Bai Hao nodded and agreed, then he said to Olmia with some expectation: "If you lose, you will teach me some advanced secrets of the sect in advance!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"
