Chapter 1654 - 1649: Head-to-Head Showdown

"I suppose I’m not the first one to notice!"

Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

Xiaobei knew the uniqueness of his eyes, but he believed others were also very skilled, so he definitely wasn’t the first to discover it.

After asking, Xiaobei heard a calm response, "Indeed! You’re not the first; others have noticed too, but none as thoroughly as you. The only one who saw as clearly as you is standing beside you."

Hearing this, Xiaobei turned his head and saw Lv Beibei nodding.

Xiaobei realized the person the boss was referring to was clearly Lv Beibei.

Soon, Xiaobei, Lv Beibei, and the boss sat down to enjoy some tea, while the others temporarily moved aside.

After they sat down, the boss gently introduced himself, "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Song Wen, and I’m the owner of this shop!"

"My name is Xiaobei!"

"My name is Lv Beibei!"

Xiaobei and Lv Beibei exchanged glances and introduced themselves again.

They actually knew that he already knew their names, but it was a matter of courtesy here.

"You two are truly our twin stars here now!"

As he spoke, Song Wen carefully observed Xiaobei and Lv Beibei.

He had met Lv Beibei before, so now he focused on taking a few more glances at Xiaobei.

He felt that Xiaobei was indeed exceptional, carrying an indescribable calm and composure. He had encountered such an aura before, but only in the top-tier experts.

And these experts had undergone countless years of refinement...

Xiaobei hadn’t had so many years of refinement, yet he still exuded such an aura; this compelled him to take several more looks...

...

"Xiaoyun, I didn’t expect you’d be willing to follow someone. Did you know beforehand that he was very capable?"

Not far away, a woman standing next to Xiaoyun spoke with curiosity.

She was a woman whose beauty was on par with Xiaoyun’s, and she accompanied Lv Beibei...

Earlier, she chose to accompany Lv Beibei because she knew Lv Beibei was very capable.

In her view, Xiaoyun’s choice to follow Xiaobei must be because she knew he was exceptionally skilled.

Otherwise, there was really no reason for her to choose him.

Glancing at Xiaobei in the distance, Xiaoyun recalled what he said when he chose her.

Soon, she softly said, "Earlier, when he chose me, I really didn’t expect him to be so capable. I just thought he was quite boastful at the time. Now it appears, he wasn’t boasting, but indeed has strong skills."

"Yes, this time we’ve really struck gold, but who knows which one of them is actually more skilled?"

"Indeed!"

Responding in such a manner, Xiaoyun looked towards Xiaobei...

Though she didn’t speak it aloud, deep down, she believed Xiaobei’s skills were slightly stronger.

...

"What great tea!"

Xiaobei took a sip and his eyes lit up!

At this moment, he wasn’t joking; the tea was truly exceptional.

"I brought this tea from my place; if you enjoy it, feel free to have more."

"Alright!"

After saying this, Xiaobei took another sip.

Twenty minutes later, Xiaobei and Lv Beibei stood up.

Having had their fill of tea, it was naturally time to do some serious work.

"Finally, it’s about to start!"

Seeing Xiaobei and Lv Beibei stand up, everyone present excitedly rubbed their hands together.

Since before, they’ve been waiting here, the reason being they wanted to witness Xiaobei and Lv Beibei’s true skills...

To be honest, many of them came here not really for the Gambling Stone, but to learn many things...

Observing true experts in Gambling Stone offers the fastest way to learn various knowledge.

...

"Boss Song, this isn’t all of your inventory, right!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Lv Beibei took a few looks and furrowed his brows...

He discovered that all the jade raw stones here seemed average; while some might yield something, there really wasn’t much point.

Because the stakes of gambling were too low...

Truly...

Someone of Lv Beibei’s caliber doesn’t enjoy minor affairs, so he hopes to encounter some jade raw stones more worth gambling.

Upon hearing Lv Beibei’s words, Xiaobei also scanned the jade raw stones here, and he too found them somewhat lacking.

"Of course not, I recently acquired a rather decent jade raw stone, but it’s a bit large, so it’s currently in the warehouse. Should I have someone bring it out?"

"Alright!"

"Then hold on a moment!"

After saying this, he picked up the walkie-talkie and quickly gave an instruction...

...

Five minutes later, amid the rumbling of machinery, a massive jade raw stone weighing nearly a thousand pounds was brought out on a forklift.

"It’s really big!"

"Indeed it is!"

Everyone present was awestruck because it was truly huge...

Everyone knew its value was definitely quite terrifying.

As everyone speculated, a smile appeared on Lv Beibei’s lips; he knew he now had a chance to compete with Xiaobei.

"I believe in myself; I won’t lose!"

After murmuring this to himself, he looked at Xiaobei and said, "Master Xiaobei, shall we go take a look together?"

"Alright!"

Xiaobei agreed...

Xiaobei knew he wanted to challenge him.

Faced with this kind of challenge, Xiaobei wouldn’t refuse, so now, he and Lv Beibei walked together towards the newly placed jade raw stone.

As he stood, Xiaobei found this to be a pure raw stone, having not been windowed before.

The so-called windowing is when many owners open a small window or cut to let people see the inner quality...

This one hadn’t been opened...

This indicated it truly was a pure jade raw stone.

"The competition has begun!"

Watching them approach together, everyone present took a deep breath...

To be honest, they’re indeed interested in this jade raw stone!

But at this moment, they had no intention of intervening because they knew it’s a showdown between Xiaobei and Lv Beibei.

...

"Xiaoyun, who do you think will win?"

Not far away, the woman who had been beside Lv Beibei looked at Xiaoyun with some curiosity...

Xiaoyun took a glance at Xiaobei and said, "I’m with Master Xiaobei, of course, I believe in Master Xiaobei!"

Hearing Xiaoyun say this, a trace of challenge flashed in the woman’s eyes, "How coincidental, I also believe in Lv Beibei!"

Xiaoyun, knowing she would say this, lightly smiled, "Then let’s wait and see whose judgment is better."

"Alright!"

After saying this, neither spoke further and quietly watched the other two in the distance.
