However, after Jin Shibo made this move, everyone present was stunned.
The black crystal stone that Song Yunfei had carefully selected was priced at only eighty thousand Immortal Martial Stones.
But the black crystal stone that Jin Shibo had chosen was priced at two hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones.
That was a full double the amount of their wager.
Seeing this, Song Yunfei's brow immediately furrowed.
The black crystal stones here had guaranteed quality — there was almost no stone that was completely worthless.
And the price of the black crystal stone Jin Shibo had selected was more than double his own. Moreover, at first glance, the quality appeared quite good.
By this calculation, he would most likely lose.
However, if he lost due to observation, he could somewhat accept that.
But if he lost purely on price, then the defeat would be far too unjust.
No wonder — no wonder that Jin Shibo had specifically demanded that there be no price limit. In the end, he had simply paid a high price to purchase a higher-quality black crystal stone.
Song Yunfei's brow was tightly knit as he inwardly cursed Jin Shibo's cunning, resolving that next time he absolutely could not afford to be careless again.
Once both had made their selections, the grey-haired elder began to cut open the black crystal stones. And the final result did indeed show that the stone Jin Shibo had chosen contained more Immortal Martial Stones.
This time, it was truly Jin Shibo who had won.
"Miss Xia, I told you — your senior brother is no match for me," Jin Shibo said smugly to Xia Yun'er after his victory.
To this, Xia Yun'er simply wore a faint smile and did not respond.
Regardless of anything else, Song Yunfei was from her Starfall Holy Land — he was one of their own. She could never admit that Song Yunfei was inferior to Jin Shibo.
Moreover, anyone with eyes could tell that although Xia Yun'er wore a smile, she clearly found Jin Shibo deeply repulsive.
"Hmph — what kind of skill is it to simply spend more money on a higher-quality black crystal stone?" Song Yunfei said resentfully.
"That was agreed upon by you. Besides, are black cut stones supposed to have their quality judged by size?"
"If it were that simple, there would be no point in stone gambling at all — just buy the biggest black crystal stones and crack them open. You'd profit every time without fail," Jin Shibo retorted sarcastically.
"..."
Hearing this, Song Yunfei's face flushed with anger, but he couldn't find the right words to say. In the end, he could only throw out a single line: "Continue."
This time, Song Yunfei was smarter — he didn't make his selection first. Instead, he waited for Jin Shibo to pick, and then made his own choice.
Jin Shibo chose quickly, almost carelessly pointing at a black crystal stone to select it.
However, the stone he had chosen was equally expensive.
After Jin Shibo had made his selection, Song Yunfei began his own careful deliberation. This time, he once again chose meticulously, and the black crystal stone he picked was priced the same as Jin Shibo's.
In his view, Jin Shibo was nothing more than a wealthy brute with no real skill whatsoever.
And with his expertise, at the same price point, the stone he selected would absolutely surpass Jin Shibo's in quality.
"How is this possible?"
But when both black crystal stones were cut open, Song Yunfei's jaw dropped.
Because the stone he had so carefully selected turned out to be inferior to the one Jin Shibo had chosen at random with a single careless point.
Song Yunfei had lost again.
"You actually thought I was winning just because I picked bigger black crystal stones?"
"Foolish — this prince relies on this."
Jin Shibo pointed to his own eyes.
His meaning was clear: his eye for quality far surpassed Song Yunfei's.
"Hmph — I let you win twice and you've lost all sense of proportion. I'll show you now what real skill looks like," Song Yunfei declared.
"By all means — show me just what kind of real skill you actually possess."
Jin Shibo remained completely unimpressed.
Afterward, the two continued to compete ten more times in succession. But Song Yunfei lost all ten times.
