Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 761 - 733 Imperial Green
Chapter 761: Chapter 733 Imperial Green
"Except for areas A, B, C, and D, there are no more raw stones left," Li Linglong answered.
Lin Tian’s eyebrows knitted tightly together in concern. What could he do now?
He had already looked over Area A, where there had been only one Imperial Green, which the Eagle People had chosen.
He had looked over Area B as well, and there was no Imperial Green at all.
What about Areas C and D? Those were selected by experts, the quality was low, and there was no chance of cutting an Imperial Green from them.
What could he do now?
Lin Tian had a feeling, the feeling of being schemed against.
The Eagle People bought the Imperial Green first, then gambled with him, setting a trap for him.
Lin Tian inadvertently fell into the trap laid by the Eagle People, and now it was impossible for him to come out unscathed.
He glared at the Eagle People, which returned only a mocking smirk.
Was he really going to lose?
No, he couldn’t afford to lose. freёwebnoѵel.com
With Areas A and B ruled out, he would check Areas C and D.
The intentions of the Eagle People were malicious, and Lin Tian couldn’t afford to lose no matter what. Even if he lost, he would not let the Eagle People kill him. Their kind was different, their hearts were distinct, and there was no need to honor promises with them.
Moreover, it wasn’t a fair trade anyway.
"Sister Ling, take me to Area C," he said.
Li Linglong startled, realized the situation was bad, and quickly led the way. At the same time, she signaled her subordinates covertly to summon the experts of Gambling Stone City for reinforcement at high speed. Perhaps there would be a great battle to fight.
The crowd followed Lin Tian to Area C, the Eagle People strolled leisurely at the end, looking complacent.
Lin Tian quickly scanned every raw stone in Area C, but to his disappointment, Area C had only one ice type, the rest were all ordinary jade.
Then, Lin Tian moved to Area D.
Everyone was puzzled. Why would Lin Tian head to Areas C and D? The raw stones in these areas had been sifted through by experts, leaving little chance for a winning gamble.
Moreover, they were gambling with their lives, and life is precious and shouldn’t be risked carelessly.
Area D was the largest, with raw stones haphazardly arranged, roughly counting to no less than ten thousand pieces.
Lin Tian rapidly scanned every raw stone using Subdue the Heavens, but out of these ten thousand stones, not even a single substandard ice type, much less an Imperial Green, was found.
This time, even the King of Picking Up Leftovers was out of options.
Seizing an opportunity, the Eagle People whispered to Lin Tian, "Kid, here, there is only one Imperial Green, you simply can’t win. Stop wasting time. If you choose to die yourself, it wouldn’t violate our bet and you can have an easy death. If you let me kill you, I guarantee, it will be painful. I will make you regret being born into this world."
"You are truly despicable."
Lin Tian coldly stated, his fists clenched, his aura full of murderous intent!
The Eagle People were unfazed and stepped back, watching Lin Tian intently, curious to see how he would turn the tables.
Lin Tian looked around helplessly as Li Linglong quickly approached, saying, "Lin Tian, my men have all arrived, more than eighty, all Condensing Mirror experts, ready to act on your command outside!"
He silently nodded his head, knowing if it came to it, they would have to confront them head-on.
But if there was a chance to win, he still hoped to win. After all, the bet was made, and though backing out had its justifications, he would still feel uneasy about it.
He decided to take another look around Areas A and B to see if there was any new development.
However, the odds were incredibly low, so low that even he didn’t harbor any hope. Mainly, he was out of options, but what if there was an oversight, allowing him one more chance?
It’s not the fear of ten thousand possibilities, but the fear of that one in ten thousand. What if his luck today really hit a jackpot!
He was on his way out when he accidentally stumbled over a stone.
This stone, weighing around ten pounds, was originally used to prop the door open but had been kicked awry by someone, causing Lin Tian to trip over it.
The two waiters at the door were shocked and quickly placed the stone back in its original position while bowing apologetically to Lin Tian, "I’m sorry, sir, it was my fault, I apologize."
Sweat formed on the waiter’s face instantly, Lin Tian was someone he didn’t recognize, but the presence of Li Linglong with him was enough to ascertain Lin Tian’s identity.
"It’s no problem."
Lin Tian spoke softly, not wanting to make things difficult for the waiter at this time.
However, inadvertently, his gaze landed on the very stone that had tripped him.
Suddenly, his eyes revealed a trace of surprise.
This stone... seemed... not ordinary...!
He quickly crouched down to take a closer look at the stone.
It had no patterns or lines, and the side facing the ground was covered in moss.
Firstly, he confirmed that it was not a raw stone.
A raw stone would be enveloped in a weathered crust that made it impossible for moss to grow.
A stone with moss was very likely just the most ordinary sandstone from a riverbed.
But this sandstone was definitely not ordinary; where it was extraordinary, Lin Tian did not know.
He quietly activated Subdue the Heavens to observe.
How bizarre.
The clairvoyance ability of Subdue the Heavens was incredibly powerful, able to see through even metallic and earthen terrains, but it could not penetrate a mere ten centimeters of sandstone.
Moreover, as Lin Tian’s Subdue the Heavens stared at this piece of sandstone for more than three seconds, he felt a vague ache in his eyes. He had a feeling that if he continued to stare blindly, his eyes might bleed or even go blind.
For within the sandstone was a powerful aura, one that he could not see, touch, or even feel, but that definitely existed.
An aura that made him feel fearful.
He asked the waiter, "Where did this stone come from?"
The waiter looked baffled; why ask such a question? This kind of stone was not valuable, and stones like it were everywhere on the riverbed; how would he know where this particular stone came from?
Never mind, Lin Tian decided not to ask further and made his decision on the spot.
"I choose this one."
Lin Tian lifted the sandstone in his hands and called out loudly.
All eyes were drawn to him, staring at the sandstone in his hands as if trying to see through it.
But after a long look, everyone was baffled; what was he up to? Dude, are you sure you came here to gamble on stones?
Have you forgotten? You’re not just gambling on stones here; you’re gambling with your life. Losing means death.
The most basic premise of gambling stones is that you should first choose a raw stone.
But what Lin Tian was holding was not a raw stone; to them, that stone was just the most common sandstone from the riverbed outside.
Was there even a treasure inside it?
They didn’t believe it.
They had heard of people finding treasures in raw stones but never heard of anyone finding anything in the most ordinary sandstone from a riverbed.
Everyone looked at Lin Tian as if he was a fool, but only the nearby Eagle People, who had just been certain of their success, now showed faces full of unrest and shock!
