"What do you mean by that?" Wang Ling clearly didn't grasp Zhang Menglong's intention. Weren't they here to gamble on stones with these three masters today? "Right!" Wang Ling slapped his forehead. With these three masters around, how could it even be called gambling? Master Yu can predict the presence of jade in a stone with over 90% accuracy. If he favored a stone, it almost always contained jade! With such experts here, it couldn't really be called stone gambling—it was stone buying, practically just stocking up on goods directly. If Zhang Menglong opened a jade store, the profits would be outrageous! But Wang Ling still underestimated Zhang Menglong. He thought he was on the fifth floor, but Zhang Menglong was already in the stratosphere! He walked straight to a stall, "Boss, how much for this stone?" Zhang Menglong pointed at a giant stone over two meters tall, which probably weighed several tons. It was one of the largest raw stones you could find in this huge venue. "This one is 37 million!" The stall owner immediately quoted a sky-high price. When he saw the masters next to Zhang Menglong, his eyes lit up; having these masters at his stall was like a free advertisement! "Sir, if you are serious about it, take it for 35 million!" the stall owner raised his voice on purpose. The sky-high price of 35 million immediately attracted quite a crowd, and seeing the three masters there, the area soon became packed with people three layers deep inside and out. "There's a good show coming, the three masters are making a move—this is going to be big!" "Yes, with such a big stone, it's sure to yield green jade." "Not necessarily, if it only contains jade the size of an egg, then it's still a losing deal, right?" "We have to rely on the masters' judgment, if the masters nod, there'll be a great show." Meanwhile, the three masters approached the stone, put on gloves and magnifying glasses, and began to examine it thoroughly. Their techniques and angles made many spectators watch closely, hoping to learn something from their expertise and never worry about money again in their lives. A few minutes later, the three masters sighed and shook their heads, "Mr. Zhang, this stone does contain green jade, but it will lose money. You'd better look at another one!" "Eek—" The surrounding crowd instantly let out a hiss. "I told you, this stone is just big, it's deceiving!" "Hahaha, this stall owner is in trouble now. The three masters have said it'll be a loss. Definitely, no one will buy it!" "He's just unlucky, hahaha!" Sure enough, the stall owner's face immediately donned the 'Mask of Pain'. This huge raw stone was magnificent and very costly, with a base cost of 20 million alone. After the masters had spoken, who would buy it? If someone actually bought it, wouldn't that be like slapping the masters in the face? "I just said that poor people gamble on stones because they need it to turn their luck around, but I don't need it," Zhang Menglong continued enthusiastically picking out raw stones. "What's the fun if every stone you buy has jade? It wouldn't be thrilling at all; it would completely lose its charm!" "Who the hell comes here for the thrill?" Upon hearing Zhang Menglong's words, all the onlookers cursed in their minds. Everyone came here hoping to spend little and buy raw stones containing jade. Who the hell came for the thrill? Are they crazy? The raw stones here are worth hundreds of thousands to millions each, with a risk of losing everything if not careful. And yet, he said he was here for the thrill—was his family's money overflowing? "Old Wang, whether I spend money or not, I am the world's richest man. Is spending a little money for this thrilling experience not worth it to you?" "I'll turn you into a banana boat!" Wang Ling finally couldn't help but curse aloud. "Are you poison or what? Even with all the money, this is not the way to spend it!" "Do you know how much money I just spent?" Zhang Menglong asked. "Probably a few tens of billions." "And do you know how long it takes me to earn tens of billions?" Wang Ling shook his head. Zhang Menglong paused for a second, "Well, I've earned it just now." "You..." Wang Ling wanted to say more, but he unclenched his fist, realizing this guy was simply a monster! Yes, to others, Zhang Menglong's actions seemed like a waste of money. However, in his view, what he spent was merely the money he made in a breath—a mere breather. Do ordinary people fret over spending a dollar or two to make themselves happy? No! Would Zhang Menglong fret over spending tens of billions? The answer is also no! "I find that the more I hang out with you, the closer I am to a total worldview collapse," Wang Ling said with a bitter smile, "Being friends with you makes me feel like I might end up in a mental institution one day." "Don't worry. If that day really comes, I'll arrange everything for you. I own a few mental hospitals. I'll ensure you get the best doctors, the best wards, and the most beautiful nurses!" "Zhang Menglong, I'm taking you on!" Watching Zhang Menglong frolic with Wang Ling, the three masters suddenly looked at each other. They had thought they could showcase their expertise before this new master today, but they had not expected to be just decorations; Zhang Menglong had never intended to let them act! Their morale was broken too!
