I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

After thinking for a moment, Wang Man nodded.

Then, he reached out and grabbed the immortal source stone, exerting force gradually. Smiling Buddha’s actions also attracted the attention of many people, and everyone turned to watch Wang Mang with interest. After all, everyone liked to watch other people gamble and try their luck.

There were indeed some people who made a profit by buying immortal source stones. Of course, most of them lost more than they won.

Similarly, these immortal source stones were also very strange. They were seemingly ordinary stones, yet even stronger experts could not tell what was within them.

This was what made them so exciting and popular in this world. It was exactly like the system’s Gacha!

“Open it! Since you’ve already thrown away your money on it, open it so we can all take a look!”

“Faster! Stop wasting time!”

Seeing that Wang Mang was still teasing them by opening it slowly, the spectators began to jeer.

Hearing this, Wang Mang suddenly increased his strength and finally crushed the stone. Everyone immediately focused on what was in his hand.

The small immortal source stone had already been crushed into pieces, but within it, there were several crystal clear immortal stones, probably five or six.

Other than that, there was nothing else in the immortal source stone.

Seeing this, the crowd’s discussions began anew.

“Haha! Five hundred immortal source stones thrown away for six immortal stones. That’s crazy!”

“It’s Smiling Buddha’s stall after all…”

“That’s true. I’ve never seen anyone earn money from his stall.”

“Five hundred immortal stones! Damn it! Those should have been used for cultivation!”

Wang Mang sighed without batting an eyelid.

Seeing this, Smiling Buddha smiled.

“Junior, don’t be discouraged. One piece won’t do. You have to try more.”

“You can definitely make a fortune if you try a few more stones. Why don’t I help you pick out a few better stones?”

After a moment of silence, Wang Mang gritted his teeth. “1’11 do it myself!”

Wang Mang was still somewhat unwilling to stomach the loss of 500 immortal stones. He had already asked the system about immortal source stone gambling, and had been informed that even Tier 5 experts would not be able to probe what was inside these stones.

Therefore, this entire thing was truly a game of luck.

Of course, there were also experienced veterans who could make educated guesses through experience.

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, Smiling Buddha was overjoyed.

“Alright then. Junior, you can choose them yourself!”

It seemed this junior of his was quite wealthy. Even after losing 500 immortal stones, this fellow was still game for more. He had caught a big fish!

At the same time, the spectating students who were about to leave also stopped in their tracks.

Wang Mang began to pick up the stones again.

After examining hundreds of stones on display at the stall, Wang Mang chose a red oval stone, which was the size of a pot lid and was a little flat. It felt heavy in his hand.

Wang Mang also glanced at the price, which was 2,000 immortal stones.

“This one!”

As he spoke, Wang Mang waved his hand again and 2,000 immortal stones in his hand, which Smiling Buddha accepted with satisfaction.

“Great! Junior, the stone is all yours.”

“Are you going to open here as well?”

“Wang Mang nodded slightly, and then slapped the red stone.

Crack!

The stone shattered into pieces, and a bright red gem-like stone appeared in front of him.

When they saw this stone, many of the students were surprised.

“Whoa! If this red stone was a little bigger, he would have made a profit.” “That’s right! Too bad one that small will only sell for about 1000 immortal stones.”

After hearing their discussion, Wang Mang hurriedly asked the system, “System, how many energy points can this stone be exchanged for?” [Ding!] The tiny red stone has been examined. It can be exchanged for 998 energy points!]

It seemed that he had gotten something decent this time, though it was still a loss.

At this moment, Smiling Buddha smiled and said, “How about this? Junior, 1’11 give you 1,100 immortal stones for this stone. Why don’t you pick another immortal source stone?”

“Alright!” Wang Mang nodded. Then I’ll pick another piece!”

With that said, Wang Mang began to pick up stones and examine them again. He picked a stone that was priced at 1,600 immortal stones, and then paid the additional 500 stones to cover the cost.

This stone was green, and was slightly bigger than the previous one. After receiving the stone, Wang Mang opened it without hesitation with a palm strike.

The stone shattered into pieces!

Unfortunately, inside there were only two immortal stones!

Wang Mang had suffered another loss!

However, Wang Mang was clearly a little tilted by this. The successive losses made him feel that he had to open more in order to make up for his losses!

Thus, Wang Mang continued to pick stones.

A fourth stone! For 2,000 immortal stones!

After opening it, he suffered another loss, and only obtained one immortal stone.

A fifth stone! The price was 3,000 immortal stones!

Wang Mang’s face darkened when he opened it again, as this one only had ten immortal stones inside. He was on a losing streak, and a very bad one.

Seeing this scene, the crowd shook their heads secretly. Some of them looked at him mockingly.

In their eyes, Wang Mang was a foolish gambler who did not know when to cut his losses. He had gone off the deep end.

To put it bluntly, he had lost too badly.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Mang gradually calmed down. He knew that, after spending over 8,000 immortal stones, he only had a little over 1000 immortal stones now.

He felt somewhat helpless. However, he was in too deep to stop.

“Another piece! The last piece! A stone that is around 1,000 immortal stones!”

With that, Wang Mang waved his hand and took out all of the immortal stones he had on him.

Seeing this, Smiling Buddha could not stop smiling. After taking the immortal stones, he smiled and said, “Junior, you can choose now.”

“Senior, help me choose this time.”

Smiling Buddha nodded with a smile. Then, he took out a stone priced at 1,100 immortal stones and handed it to Wang Mang.

“This one is priced at 1,100, but it doesn’t matter if you’re short of a few dozen immortal stones since you’ve been a great customer. Don’t forget to come back for more in the future!”

Wang Mang nodded expressionlessly and took the stone.

This stone was squarish and green, and was as big as a washbasin.

After receiving the stone, Wang Mang did not hold much hope, so he casually raised his hand and slapped the stone.

However, moments later, something unbelievable happened!
