Chapter 649: Chapter 676: Not a Hair Out of Place (Part 2)
Shangguan Hong also looked over, curious about such a ridiculous and sleazy person and his background!
The chubby guy wasn’t small at all, standing at 5’7" and weighing 200 pounds—quite huge actually. At this moment, he covered his forehead and sighed, "Didn’t I just say it? What were you all listening to..."
Lin Xi was stunned. Did he actually say that?
Meanwhile, he glanced at Shangguan Hong, who also shook his head, indicating he hadn’t heard either.
So Lin Xi said, "You didn’t say it just now!"
"I did!!!" The chubby guy insisted.
Shangguan Hong also said, "You didn’t say it!"
The chubby guy, "..."
Alright, he decided not to argue further. He paused for a bit and said, "My last name is Zhao, full name Zhao Ritian, from the capital, also known as the charming and suave Prince Jade Face..."
Lin Xi glanced at the stone-cutting master on stage, then turned his head to the self-satisfied chubby guy again,
"Speak normally!"
"..." The chubby guy paused unflinchingly, then said, "Zhao Ritian!"
Lin Xi, "..."
Shangguan Hong, "..."
Neither of them expected that reality matched fiction, just puzzled about what went through his parents’ minds when naming him!
They must have a terrible relationship!
However, Zhao Ritian explained, "That wasn’t my original name, but I thought it lacked presence, so I changed it myself!"
Lin Xi, "..."
Shangguan Hong, "..."
Alright, that was quite impressive. They felt like giving him a round of 666666 applause!
Just then, suddenly, the entire venue fell silent. The three of them looked towards the stage, and Zhao Ritian and Shangguan Hong were both stunned.
Because the jade inside the stone had already been fully revealed.
Shangguan Nishang held it in her hand, then looked again at the paper projected on the wall, still somewhat disbelieving, especially since the note was signed by Lin Xi.
After a long silence, many people were asking their friends, "Who is this Lin Xi?"
"Could he be some master?"
"Could it be that the Stone King’s real name is Lin Xi?"
"No, no, no, Stone King isn’t named that. This person seems to be a local underground boss!"
",,,"
Wang Wudao, Su Xiong, and the ice and fire lady exchanged glances, all feeling quite puzzled inside. Could Lin Xi actually be a master in the stone-gambling world?
Or is it that there’s a master beside him?
Yet they had noticed Lin Xi just now, and apart from a kid next to him, there was no one else.
At this moment, Zhao Ritian looked at Lin Xi with admiration, inwardly thinking, could the person beside him be a new-generation master-level figure at the stone-gambling festival?
"I definitely need to stick to this golden leg tightly!"
Lin Xi moved a bit aside, as at this moment, the chubby guy’s sleazy demeanor was frankly intimidating. Did he not have any disdain for dragons? And he was the one being teased,,,,,,
"I always knew, brother-in-law, you’re super impressive!" Shangguan Hong, also looking at Lin Xi admiringly, couldn’t help but sigh, "Indeed, at Elder Chen’s shop, brother-in-law didn’t choose randomly but saw through it."
"But brother-in-law, you didn’t really look, how did you figure it out?"
Lin Xi didn’t respond to him, as Shangguan Nishang on the stage had already announced the result and provided a bank account number for the people who gambled to transfer money into.
Of course, this card belonged to the Shangguan family, and after the fact, she would naturally transfer the money to Lin Xi’s card.
The next two rounds also involved guessing what was inside the stone.
The amount bet was the same as before, ten million.
Without any surprises, Lin Xi won both rounds with an absolute advantage, earning 480 million in total.
Zhao Ritian and Shangguan Hong were both stunned, estimating probably not even the Stone King could compare.
The others present were also dumbfounded.
Additionally, by this time, under the absolute majority’s suggestion at the event, this rule for stone gambling could no longer continue.
You might say it couldn’t continue anymore—losing ten million each time—even if they had more money, they couldn’t afford such losses!
The most critical point was, there wasn’t even a sliver of hope for winning!
This Lin Xi fellow is practically a bug!
"Sigh!" Shangguan Nishang sighed deeply while standing on stage.
This gambling game rule was her invention, initially thinking it would incentivize everyone, but with such a bug, it was utterly exasperating.
If she had known this would happen, she might not have invited Lin Xi at all.
Now, probably making many people suspect the Shangguan family of cheating...
Though they hadn’t, and others couldn’t exactly pinpoint faults, it was simply too odd.
Therefore, she had to change the rules and the gameplay, but what should she change it to?
Isn’t it utterly desperate?
