Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 49: Betting on rocks

     Su Lun approached the shop full of rough stones, and used the pupil of omniscience to randomly identify a stone.

  【Cursed Rough Stone】

  Detailed explanation: Purity 6;

   There is no extra explanation, only a purity number.

   identified a few more, all of which were inferior rough stones with a purity of less than ten.

   This pile is the cheapest one at two hundred liso.

   Su Lun identified dozens of pieces, which consumed a lot of dark energy value, but did not find a piece with a purity of more than ten.

   He guessed that it should be waste rock, so he didn't buy any one.

"If a piece of two hundred liso, the probability of cutting out the'cursed crystal' will theoretically not exceed 2%, and the merchant can make a profit... That is to say, only one piece can cut out the crystal with an average of more than fifty pieces of rough stone. ."

   He calculated it in his mind, and knew that unless he was lucky, this probability was normal.

   Merchants are all shrewd, so the price of betting on raw stone ore fluctuates.

  After a vein is opened, the ore merchant can only estimate the rough crystallization rate of the rough stone from the sample. But no one can be sure of the final condition of this batch of ore before it is cut. There may be local rich mines or local poor mines.

  If the frequency of crystallization is high during the sale, the shop owner will automatically increase the unit price of this batch of ore.

   If the probability is low, it will decrease accordingly.

   Therefore, theoretically speaking, the probability of crystallization of the rough stone can be roughly estimated from the unit price of the rough stone.

  ...

   Su Lun did not rush to make a move, as always cautiously. He watched carefully from the side, wanting to see if there were other tricks in the gambling stone.

   The size of the ore is different, and the size of the crystal also determines its value.

   Two hundred pieces of rough stone is slightly smaller, and the probability of crystallization is also the lowest. On the other hand, the rough stones with a unit price of 500 or 800 pieces are larger and of much better quality. The identified purity has a higher probability of between 10-20.

   While Su Lun was observing, the cutting room in the shop suddenly heard good news from time to time.

   "Oh! Congratulations to this gentleman, I cut a medium size "Cursed Crystal". Our firm is willing to buy it for 13,000 liso!"

   "Look, this lady is also very lucky. She cut out some good quality crystalline nuggets, worth at least one thousand li. You only spent five hundred and you doubled the profit..."

   "Wo~ That gentleman's 30,000 yuan batch of rough stones, unexpectedly cut out more than 50,000 crystals, my God, good luck..."

   "..."

   The manager of the shop is presiding over the sale with great effort, and he will report it out loud and passionate with every shipment.

   This has also led to more and more people coming to search for ore.

   People in the outer city seem to like this novel way of gambling.

   People who can visit the black market are probably worthy. Batches of rough stones have been cut, and news of the rough stones will be heard from time to time.

   There are more and more people coming to see the hot old.

  Su Lun watched silently from the side.

   looked at it for a long time, and finally let him figure out the law of the purity of this ore.

  Purity below 10 is a low-quality ore, completely useless.

   And among these piles of rough stones, more than 90% are such inferior mines.

  If the purity is in the range of 11-20, some crystalline fragments can be cut out. Although the value is not high, it is enough to protect the cost;

   Then there are those with a purity of 20 or more, and the quantity is very small.

   Suren looked at the crystalline rough cut every time in the shop, it must show a purity of "20" or more.

After understanding this pattern, Su Lun looked at the piles of raw ore again, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared in the corner of his eyes. He muttered in his heart: "This is the correct way to open the Eye of All-Knowing." .."

  ...

   As time went by, there were more and more people in the gambling shop, and Su Lun was not afraid of being noticed, so he got mixed in with those who chose rough stones.

   He also pretended to learn from others, lighting up the lights, watering, and observing carefully.

   Then, after finally identifying dozens of pieces, his eyes lit up.

  【Cursed Rough Stone】

  Detailed explanation: Purity 24;

   Seeing the gray stone in his hand that was almost indistinguishable from the other rough stones, Su Lun left him in his pocket calmly. In order to avoid trouble, he also stuffed a few pieces of low-quality ore.

   Five yuan is a thousand li.

   There are more than 3,000 left in Su Lun's pocket.

   Just like that, pick and choose. Su Lun lay on the ore team and chose a basket of stones, big and small. But among these more than ten stones, only those with a purity of more than twenty, there are eight.

   also means that as long as it is cut, it is worth at least 80,000 li.

   The cost of 3,000 or 4,000 has become 80,000, which is a full twenty-fold increase, which is faster than gambling!

   But Su Lun did not plan to continue to choose.

   First, there is no money to buy more rough stones today; second, he feels that if he cheats and picks out most of the crystalline rough stones in this batch of ore, the shop owner may be alert.

   can be wrong, good luck comes to the door one after another.

   Just as Su Lun was about to check out and leave, suddenly, an unsightly stone was thrown at his feet.

   It was a raw ore that people around me chose to look down upon. In the pile of ore with a unit price of 800, this piece really did not sell well.

  Su Lun was about to leave anyway, and took a casual appraisal, but immediately found that he had found the treasure.

  【Cursed Rough Stone】

  Detailed explanation: purity 99;

   "Such high purity?"

   Su Lun frowned as he watched.

   The purity of 20 can already produce cursed crystals, how come a 99 suddenly pops up?

   Obviously, this is most likely the legendary "Crystal Curse" worth 100,000!

   Picking up such a treasure, Su Lun didn't show any strange expression, and threw the stone into the frame.

   The staff is very enthusiastic to help him check the bill.

   "Sir, do you need to cut it on the spot?"

   "Well, cut a few pieces to see luck..."

   Su Lun did not behave too alternatively, and chose two pieces of inferior mines with a quality of less than 10 and cut them up, and they were all scraps as expected.

   Seeing this, he had a boring expression on his face, which prevented the worker from continuing to cut, and muttered: "Forget it, I will take the rest and take it back and let it go slowly."

   The gambling stone shop is in full swing, and the staff is also estimated to save trouble. After listening to this, they are happy to help Su Lun pack the bag.

   In this way, Su Lun twisted a stone worth nearly 200,000 and left the black market in a low-key manner.

  ...

   And shortly after Su Lun left, this batch of rough stones had been sold out, and a batch of new goods came up. The steward of the stone gambling shop also had doubts in his mind.

   "Hey... it's weird. I clearly picked a batch of high-quality rough stones and sold them at a reduced price. Why is the probability of this batch being unpredictably high..."

   "Also, this pile of 800 units is obviously brought out from the extremely rich mining area where the ‘extreme ore’ has been produced before. I also said that today it detonated the atmosphere, and there has been no one yet..."

   But because the amount of rough stones sold today is too large, the subtle abnormalities in this batch of ore are soon ignored.

   The gambling stone shop continued to lively.

  ...

   As the instigator, Su Lun has taken the steam train back to the small hotel on Green Street.

   Open the room and lock the door.

   He took out the pile of ore from the storage ring, and then started to cut it by himself with a cutting tool.

   Pick a piece with a purity of more than 20. As soon as I cut it down, I saw a pure green glow that represents crystals passing by.

   Although Su Lun's heart was quite calm, he still couldn't help but murmured: "I'm rich..."

After    was polished, a walnut-sized "cursed crystal" appeared in Da's hand.

   It is like the most beautiful gem in the world, emitting a weird and vibrant green light under the light.

   "This is the crystallization of the curse..."

   Su Lun looked at the green gem in his hand, his eyes a little deep.

   is such a crystal, it can release amazing energy.

  【Cursed Crystal】

  Detailed explanation: The energy gem containing the dark force is the source of energy for alchemists.

  Su Lun is not yet a formal professional, and there are not many places where he can use this thing.

   However, this does not prevent it from selling this thing for money.

   Then, continue to cut the next piece.

  Su Lun also feels a little lucky, [All-knowing Eyes] is indeed an S-rank talent.

   While cutting, he muttered to himself: "I just said that I bought a blueprint and ruined my family. Now the material for the alchemy plant is lost..."

   cut and cut, he thought of the mysterious man who sold potions in the black market before ~ ​​www.novelmt.com~ thinking that if these rough stones could be found sooner, he might be able to get the potions.

   But Su Lun didn't struggle too much, because he was sure that the owner of the medicine would contact him again 80%.

  ...

   In a short while, all the ore is cut.

   Exactly as he expected, there were eight cursed crystals of various sizes in front of him, and a green "extreme cursed crystal" that flashed blindly.

   Less than four thousand liso, in exchange for a crystal worth nearly two hundred thousand.

   Moreover, this is a sustainable and stable source of income.

  Su Lun felt that this was a good sign, and seemed to have seen the days when he would not worry about money for a long time in the future.

"Today the'rose ore firm' came to the black market for sales. At first glance, it was not to sell a few ore, but to promote the business. Not surprisingly, the new gambling method of gambling on stones will soon become popular. Outer city..."

   Su Lun pondered mentally.

At this time, he also thought of something, and he said to himself: "If you look at the probability of shipments of about 2-8%, a store with tens of thousands of rough stones can produce only a thousand crystals. That’s a lot. If you’re all taken away by yourself, there’s definitely going to be a problem. It looks like you’ll have to run all over the city in the future. Otherwise, if you catch a sheep’s wool, it’s easy to be suspicious if it’s bald..."

   However, although it’s a bit harder to run around the city, compared to the alternative money-making plan of going to waste hunting and going to the sewers to kill aberrant monsters, this bet is obviously much easier to make money...

  Su Lun has money and confidence.

   He plans to buy the materials needed for alchemy planting, and then get himself some new equipment.

   For example, replacing the famous spear [three-headed ghost] in his hand.
