Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 201: Pits

After spending fifty million spirit stones, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu gained the qualification to enter the sixth floor.

Tan Cheng, Zhao Fei, and Guan Ying naturally followed.

"Alchemist Yuan, the sixth floor is unlike the previous floors." Tan Cheng said and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be curious.

"How so?" He asked.

"The sixth floor is a gambling hall."

"How to gamble?"

"You can gamble against our hall of stones or against another customer. The process is simple." Tan Cheng said and began explaining.

From the explanation, Shen Xu gathered that each person must pick fifteen stones at the beginning.

Of the fifteen, ten would be opened in the hall.

Whoever opens better quality treasures would then gain the right to buy the remaining five stones without having to open them in the hall.

[How devious.] Shen Xu transmitted to Zhen Yuan.

[I couldn’t agree more.] Zhen Yuan nodded; his eyes narrowed into slits.

For others, this gambling was a pit.

After all, if one accidentally opened a precious treasure, they wouldn’t be able to keep it unless they were particularly powerful or had a prominent background.

If a weak person got a precious treasure, they would be forced to sell it even if it was beneficial to their cultivation. Otherwise, they would be robbed and killed for treasure as soon as they left the hall of stones.

[Xiaoxu, don’t worry. We can work around this.]

[I know.] Shen Xu smiled.

"Xu Zhen, Yuan Shen, do you dare to accept my challenge?" Guan Ying arrogantly asked as soon as they stepped onto the sixth floor.

However, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t want to care about her.

Although they heard her words, they ignored them and began looking around.

The sixth floor had more stones than the other floors combined.

There was a mixture of low quality and high-quality stones.

For each game, the opponents could freely decide on the details of their gamble.

They could restrict the gamble to a certain quality of stones or open the game to include all the stones in the hall.

In addition to the official gamble, the opponents could also add elements to their gamble.

At this time, Guan Ying thought of this and smiled.

"I will pay for your stones if you win the gamble and you will pay for mine if I win. What do you say?" She said, looking at the two.

After spending more than fifty million spirit stones, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t have a lot of spirit stones to spare.

Considering that, they were immediately attracted to the gamble.

Most importantly, if they won and received the stones for nothing, this kind of situation would not incur cause and effect.

After all, there was a clear exchange of risk and interests between the two sides.

"Formation master Xu, alchemist Yuan, don’t let her fool you." Zhao Fei urgently reminded.

"What do you mean?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"The Guan family has a master who is very good at choosing stones. That master is here." Zhao Fei said, tipping her head towards an old man.

Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu turned to look at the person. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

The master had white hair and his cultivation was in the spirit transformation realm.

At the moment, several people surrounded the person while the master looked at nearby stones with a haughty expression.

"Zhao Fei, mind your business." Guan Ying angrily warned.

Originally, she wanted to leave the hall of stones before teaching Yuan Shen and Xu Zhen a lesson.

However, she saw master Wang as soon as she arrived on the sixth floor.

Knowing the person’s expertise, she immediately decided to play a trick on Yuan Shen and Xu Zhen.

"Didn’t alchemist Yuan say that gambling on stones is all about luck? Does alchemist Yuan dare to pit his luck against master Wang’s skill?" Guan Ying taunted and Shen Xu forcibly suppressed his urge to laugh.

’Luck? Who would buy forty stones based on luck alone? Do you think I have too many spirit stones and can’t wait to lose them?’ He thought but his face remained expressionless.

’I can’t waste this good opportunity but we will look suspicious if we accept the gamble to readily.’

Thinking of this, Shen Xu looked at Zhen Yuan with a conflicted expression.

"Brother Xu, what do you think?" He asked in an uncertain voice.

"Let’s not do it." Zhen Yuan perfectly cooperated.

"But..., but..., what if we win?" Shen Xu asked, looking reluctant to let go of the opportunity.

"It’s good if we win but what if we lose? What if the other side chooses high grade stones and we end up owing hundreds of millions of spirit stones?"

Shen Xu shuddered when he heard this and his eyes became resolute.

"Miss Guan, we won’t play with you." He said, preparing to pull Zhen Yuan to the other side of the hall.

But how could Guan Ying let them go?

She had the meat in her mouth so how could she spit it out?

Her mind span faster than ever before and she quickly found a solution.

"Let’s play three games. If alchemist Yuan and formation master Xu win two out of three games, I will pay the spirit stones for all three games. However, if I win two out of three games, you only need to pay for one set of stones." She enticed and watched as Yuan Shen’s eyes lit up.

’Idiot.’ She thought.

However, she didn’t reveal her disdain and continued to entice.

"Alchemist Yuan and formation master Xu are good friends of fourth young master Tan. If they lose and don’t have enough spirit stones, I or the fourth young master can loan you the spirit stones. You can repay them at your convenience."

’She really thinks we are fools.’ Shen Xu thought but questioningly looked at Zhen Yuan.

"Alright. Let’s do it." Zhen Yuan said.

"We have always been lucky. I don’t believe our luck will fail us at this critical time." Shen Xu also agreed with a proud look.
