“Yeah!” Han XinYu’s eyes turned red when his brother’s hand was on his head, and there was a nasal tone to his voice.
“Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow, do your best.”
“Ok…”
After Han XinYu left, Han XinYuan and Lin Luo both sighed in relief.
After this time of getting along, Lin Luo actually regarded Han XinYu as something like his own younger brother. Although Lin Luo was actually two years younger than Han XinYu, he was more mature than Han XinYu in terms of dealing with people and the world at large.
This may have been due to the life experience of the two of them. After all, the education they both received from childhood was different. Lin Luo grew up on his own, while Han XinYu grew up under the care of his family and brother.
They didn’t actually care what kind of results Han XinYu achieved in the competition, as long as he could grow. That said, they understood that Han XinYu wanted to catch up with them and hoped that in the next two days he could learn his lesson, guard against his own arrogance and rashness, and fully display his true strength.
Not long after, He Kun and Xu Jian also came back. They both won four out of five pieces, but the points they got weren’t too high. It would be a little difficult for them to get into the top ten. However, being able to enter the professional rank was already very satisfying for them. When they came back, they also brought back a lot of good quality jade. Han Xinyuan and Lin Luo tried their best to care for them as well.
Sure enough, on the second day, Han XinYu no longer selected his gambling stones as quickly as on the previous day, but instead used every minute of his time to choose based on the comprehensive consideration of the price obtained by scanning the code.
On this day, he scored 760 points.
On the third day, he got his highest score yet of 810 points.
On the fourth day, the rankings were announced, and Han XinYu ranked eighth in total points. As for He Kun and Xu Jian, they were only in the top 50. Although they were eliminated, they were still on the rankings list which meant that when they appeared in front of others in the future, they would do so as real professional rank stone gamblers.
On the fifth day, they started the head to head duels. Han XinYu narrowly defeated his opponent, occupied one of the top five seats, and successfully obtained the qualification to participate in the master rank competition.
Du Wen was a little younger then him after all, and only took sixth place, just missing moving on to the master rank tournament.
Since then, the Han family has become famous in the stone gambling world, and the two young descendants of the direct line have stood at the top of the industry.
But the most important event was just about to start up next. The master rank competition was finally about to begin!
On the day when the master rank competition started, the number of people who came to Cantley once again surged, and the number of StarCraft netizens who watched the online live broadcasts on the official StarNet site also increased. Of course, the number of soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order and protecting the safety of the people around the stadium also increased.
At eight o’clock in the morning, Lin Luo, Han XinYuan, and Han XinYu were already waiting outside the arena early, and entered the arena after conducting their identity checks one by one.
The players at the master level were basically all people of a certain level of age and experience, especially those at the top of the rank who were almost all elderly people.
Lin Luo and their group of three young handsome faces mixed in among the group of elderly rock gamblers, which looked exceptionally abrupt.
“Do your best!” The three cheered each other on, then entered the gambling stone areas.
Lin Luo randomly chose the area closest to the gate to enter. Anyway, for him, there was basically no difference in which area it was.
The number of contestants in the master rank wasn’t as large as the number of contestants in the previous ranks. Including Han Xinyu and the others who advanced by getting in the top five of the advanced rank, the total was a little over three hundred contestants. Even if they were evenly divided into twelve areas, there wouldn’t be very many people.
When he entered the number one area and saw the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of gambling stones piled up, he was shocked again. Although he had seen the imagery many times holographically, it was different from the real feeling of coming to the scene, after all.
There were also many people who choose area one. Everyone prudently kept a certain distance from each other and made room for each other to avoid unnecessary conflicts so as not to waste precious time.
With such a large amount of jadeite, it was easy for people to feel like they didn’t know where to start. Therefore, Lin Luo’s first choice was the old pit type pieces, as the old pit type jadeite was prone to containing high quality jade. His second choice was stones with tinea scabs.
Yes, tinea scabs. Not pine flowers or python bands.
Pine flowers and python belts just showed that the jadeite had jade inside. Such jadeite was usually was priced relatively high, and any fissures on them would make them too much of a gamble. Out of ten bets nine would be losses.
They weren’t as cost-effective as pieces with tinea scabs. Basically, the price of them wouldn’t be too expensive if there is tinea scabs along the fissures. Plus black went with green, so the chance of having black tinea scabs as proof of jade was also high. For Lin Luo, the gamble was relatively better.
