As if thinking of something, Jin Mao suddenly asked: "An Ge, what is your level of mental power?"

An Ge: "S-class."

Hearing the other party's words, the little fat man Jin Mao slapped his thigh with a look of disbelief: "Damn, you're actually an S-class?

Did you know that there are less than 200 people in the entire empire whose spiritual power level is above S rank!

You, you are too secretive, aren't you? "

An Ge lowered his head slightly and whispered, "I'm different from them, I'm a mutant."

Although both belong to the S-rank, the mental power after the mutation is far less stable than the natural one, and he has no star coins to buy the expensive gene fluid, so he may become diseased in the future.

Jin Mao simply hated that iron could not become steel: "What's the matter with the mutation, that's the one-of-a-kind S-rank!

Damn, I want to mutate too, my mental power level is only B--"

For a time, the entire hovering car was filled with the unwilling roar of the little fat man.

Bai Jing pulled the topic back at the right time: "...Why did you ask An Ge's mental power level just now?"

Jin Mao returned to his senses: "Oh, because I heard a rumor.

It is said that people with a higher level of spiritual power have a stronger affinity for jade, and these people sometimes have an intuition, just like Ange, especially for high-quality jade.

Of course, this is just a conjecture and has not been confirmed so far. "

Seeing that the two were fascinated, Jin Mao said mysteriously, "Anyway—I think this rumor is true!

Because within the empire, almost all high-level stone gamblers have S-rank or above, and Master Gu Liubai, who is an eighth-level stone gambler, has reached the rare 3S rank!

What does this mean? It shows that there must be a relationship between the level of spiritual power and jade. What do you think? "

Bai Jing pondered: "There is such a possibility."

He had thought about it before, why is there a requirement that the spiritual power level of the apprentice of gambling stone should reach the B level or above?

He originally thought that this was just a means to limit the number of people, but now it seems that this condition may have other meanings...

"By the way, Brother Jing, you just said that you also have this kind of intuition, so what is your mental power level?" Jin Mao asked curiously.

Bai Jing: "I'm Class A."

The little fat man was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Ah? It seems that this rumor is not very credible...

Cough, cough, Brother Jing, that's not what I meant—"

Bai Jing: "I know."

However, as Jin Mao said, his mental power level did not reach the S level. So what is that extraordinarily vivid feeling when you see that piece of scrap?

His ability is to perceive the active objects within twenty meters around him, and does not include this kind of intuition.

Perhaps, he needs to have a detailed understanding of spiritual power.

The hover car galloped in the air, and soon arrived at the main city where [Empire Rose Restaurant] is located.

Bai Jing declined Fatty's kind offer to send him, and asked him to send An Ge off, and returned home alone.

After dinner, Bai Jing entered the star network, slender and fair fingers quickly slid on the light screen, and quickly browsed the information related to spiritual power.

Interstellar History:

After the successful immigration of ancient earth humans, after difficult research and exploration, they finally found the energy source of 'emerald'.

But before they could rejoice, they discovered a fatal flaw: Emerald, as the only energy source on the planet, cannot be directly used in machines, and the energy in it must be extracted to meet the demand.

When everyone fell into despair, the upper echelons of the empire discovered the existence of spiritual power.

Mental power is an ability produced by genetic mutation caused by cosmic radiation.

Under the circumstance that the energy of the planet can only be provided by jadeite, this ability brings hope to all human beings.

People with a higher level of mental power can use mental power to extract the energy in the jade and convert it into energy that can be directly used by machines, mechas, hover vehicles, etc.

And these people who can extract energy from emeralds have the same status as stone gamblers, and are respected as energy masters.

After reading interstellar history carefully, Bai Jing understood the origin and function of spiritual power.

However, he read a lot of information, but still could not find the specific connection between spiritual power and jade, and the explanation for the so-called 'intuition'.

Bai Jing did not entangle more on this issue, but was very interested in the energy division mentioned in the above information.

The role of the stone gambler is to fully develop the jade in the original stone, and the energy engineer is to convert the jade into energy that can be directly used by all walks of life.

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

The energy liquid is the substance extracted by the energy master from the jade, and it is divided into six grades according to the purity of the extracted.

The better the seed water of jadeite, the higher the transparency, the brighter the color, the higher the purity of the extracted energy liquid, and the higher the corresponding grade.

Most of the first-class energy liquid is extracted from the poor quality dry green seed and the jadeite of the green seed on a white background, and is used in robots, various machinery and household appliances, etc.;

The energy liquid above the fifth level is extracted from high-grade jade such as ice and glass. It is used in high-level mechas, spaceships and other places with huge consumption, and the price is high.

Similarly, the higher the spiritual power level of the energy master, the higher the purity of the energy liquid extracted.

Although he has a general understanding of the theoretical knowledge, Bai Jing still wants to see the energy liquid in person.

"Alpha 01, come here, please." Bai Jing summoned the white housework robot.

[Alpha 01 serves you, what are the requirements of the host? 】

The white housework robot is about half a meter tall, round, and its eyes are narrowed into two horizontal lines, which is very cute.

Bai Jing: "Can you show me your energy box?"

Alpha 01's eyes flashed a few times: [Follow the master's instructions. 】

Soon, two square windows opened on its chest, revealing a rectangular space about ten centimeters long and five centimeters high, which contained a white chip and a silver box.

This is the core of the housework robot, and Bai Jing guessed that the silver box contained energy liquid.

It's a pity that the box is still inside the robot, so it's not very real.

Bai Jing's beautiful eyes stared at the silver box: "I want to take a closer look at your energy box."

Alpha 01's eyes flickered even more, and after a while, he slowly pushed the silver box out.

Just when Bai Jing was about to pick it up, he heard a pitiful electronic voice:

[Master, are you sure you want to take away the energy box of Alpha 01? Without the energy box, Alpha 01 is a waste machine, woohoo——]

Bai Jing: "...I'm really sorry, I'll put it back immediately after I read it."

The slender fingers quickly picked up the energy box.

This is a silver metal box about the size of a Rubik's cube, with the following in small letters: Level 1 Energy Liquid, Purity: 11.65%.

He pressed the touch button on the box, and the upper lid opened automatically, revealing the gray-green energy liquid inside, with low transparency and many tiny impurities.

The moment he saw this energy liquid, Bai Jing thought of dried green jade, which should be extracted from this grade of jade.

There's about two-thirds of the liquid left. According to the information just checked, Bai Jing knew that this small box of energy liquid was enough for the housework robot to use for ten years.

For some reason, when he saw the energy liquid, he had a long-lost urge in his heart: he wanted to feel the touch of the liquid with his fingers.

Before I could think about it, I immediately put my index finger into the silver box. Unexpectedly, the moment it touched the liquid, two-thirds of the energy liquid left just disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a circle of black impurities around the box.

! !

Bai Jing immediately withdrew his fingers and found that the originally white fingertips were also dyed black.

He rinsed it with water, and the impurities were immediately washed away by the flow of water, as if they had never existed.

what's the situation? !

Bai Jing frowned slightly, picked up the silver box and looked at it over and over for a long time, except for a layer of black impurities, it was empty.

What about the energy fluid in here?

Wouldn't it be absorbed by his body?

Bai Jing sighed, cleaned the silver box, and put it aside.

Alpha 01 stood motionless, the light in his eyes went out, and it really became a waste machine without energy.

Bai Jing felt a little guilty, and hurriedly turned on his brain, planning to buy another energy box.

The first-level energy box is priced at 2000 star coins, which is very cost-effective for the service life of the housework robot.

However, thinking of the gray-black first-level energy liquid with countless impurities, Bai Jing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

‘Let’s buy a secondary energy box. ' Bai Jing thought to himself.

However, when he saw the secondary energy liquid contained in the energy box, he slightly looked away. The dark green color looks uncomfortable, and it doesn't seem to be much better than the first-level energy fluid.

‘Well, it’s better to buy a third-level energy box. ’

The third-level energy liquid is much better than the first two levels in terms of transparency and color, showing a translucent turquoise color. If it corresponds to jade, it should be at least bean seeds, with less impurities.

Bai Jing saw the marked price: fifty thousand star coins.

He stared blankly for a few seconds and turned off the light brain.

Forget it, it's expensive, why don't you try it yourself.

Bai Jing took out the egg-sized piece of dried green jade that he broke down on Gambling Stone Street.

Because the water was poor and the size was small, no one bid at that time, but it was a pity to throw it away, so let's try it out.

The most important thing is that he wants to know what the role of spiritual power is and what is the connection between it and Jade.

Maybe from the process of extracting energy fluid, he can know a little answer.

Fortunately, primary energy masters do not have high requirements for spiritual power. As long as the spiritual power reaches B-level or above and can control the spiritual power, there is a certain probability of becoming an energy master.

However, just like the distribution of the pyramids, the senior energy masters at the top of the pyramids are also few in number and their status is respected. There are no more than fifty people in the entire empire.

Bai Jing followed the steps to extract the energy liquid found on the star website, and focused all his attention on the egg-sized piece of dried green jade.

After about ten minutes, the dry green jadeite seemed to have turned into a perspective 3D model, and Bai Jing could see the obvious particle distribution and fine impurities inside.

Mental power protruded from his body like a white thread, and fell into the dry green jade. After combing and refining it little by little, the 'liquid' was drawn out of the stone and slowly fell into the silver box next to it. middle.

It's just that mental power cannot separate impurities, even a senior energy engineer can only decompose impurities into smaller particles, but cannot separate them.

Bai Jing felt annoyed when he saw that the tiny black particles, like gangrene attached to the bone, flowed into the box together with the gray-green liquid.

Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex, his perception entered the jade at the same time, sensed those dead impurities, and tried to separate them out.

Bai Jing found that his perception was much sharper than before. Before, he could only sense the activity of jade, but now he can even clearly perceive the thickness of the particles and the distribution of impurities in the jade.

However, there is no way for sentience to purify the liquid either.

Seeing that the black impurities are about to enter the box, Bai Jing's discomfort reached the extreme, and he even had the urge to seal these energy liquids back into the original stone.

At this moment, perception and mental power collided and gradually merged. The thin white line formed by mental power was slowly dyed with gold and divided into two.

One of them continued to introduce the energy liquid in the jade into the silver box, and the other gradually peeled off the impurities inside and gradually condensed into a ball.

Bai Jing's eyebrows gradually stretched. Although the energy liquid extracted this time was dark in color, the color was uniform and clean, which was many times better than before.

The most important thing is that the liquid extracted this time does not contain those dense black impurities that make him unbearable!

Soon, the silver box was filled with energy liquid, and Bai Jing closed his hands in time. Perception and mental power were separated in the air and submerged in Bai Jing's body.

The egg-sized piece of dried green jadeite has now turned into a white stone, and there is a black lump the size of a peanut on it, which is the separated impurities.

Baijing closed the lid of the silver box and put it back into the chest of Alpha 01.

Almost instantly, the eyes of the housework robot lit up.

[Alpha 01 thanks the owner for replacing the energy box for me! 】

The white housework robot's eyes narrowed into two straight lines, and happily circled around Bai Jing to express their love.

Although I don't know what happened, it feels that its body is lighter and its movements are more flexible. Woohoo, the owner is really kind!

***

Bai Jing didn't know that he had created a miracle to improve the purity of the energy liquid. He looked at the white robot that had been circling around him, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

At this time, with a 'di', the light brain automatically popped up the interface, and he found that his skill title had changed:

ID: 1053166247

Name: Bai Jing

Sex: Male

Age: 18

Status: Citizen of the Galactic Empire

Gene class: C class

Physical fitness level: A level

Mental strength level: A level

[Skill Title: Level 1 Stone Gambler]

[Cumulative points: 7]

[Betting rate: 50%]

Seeing the bet increase rate displayed on the light screen, Bai Jing pursed his lips, the bet increase rate was still too high.

Today, he unraveled a total of five pieces of wool at Gambling Street, two pieces of cut wool bought from Boss Yu, and three pieces of wool that he picked out.

Two of them rose and three fell, which should have been counted as a 40% bet rise rate.

It's just that Boss Yu's two pieces of wool were bought together, costing a total of 30,000 star coins, so it can only be counted as one piece.

In this way, out of the four pieces of wool, two pieces are up and two pieces are down, so there is a 50% bet rise rate.

Fortunately, his skill title is only a first-level stone gambler. In the eyes of others, it is only the level of beginners. The number of stone gambling is small and the chance is large, so the data is not for reference. Even if you solve a good quality jade, you can use it Blame it on luck.

But he can't keep doing this all the time, and he must slowly lower the betting rate in the future.

Bai Jing pondered carefully, starting from tomorrow, he was going to participate in the stone gambling battle.

Since the Gu family hired him as an exclusive stone gambler and gave him a remuneration beyond the standard, then he would definitely fulfill the agreement in the agreement and do things well.

He has already made a plan. At least one of the five pieces of wool material selected in each stone betting battle will increase, and the betting rate will be guaranteed to be more than 20%. At the same time, the rate of betting increase should not be too high. unnecessary trouble.

Bai Jing sighed softly in his heart.

The power of the Stone Gambling Guild is too great. As long as you use your brain to trade, the betting rate will be automatically calculated, and each piece of wool has a corresponding number, making it impossible for him to hide it.

But in this case, it is really a pity. If you encounter other wool materials that perform well during the selection, you can only regret it.

Most importantly, he still owes Gu Yuanchao 33 million for the treatment of gene decay, and he doesn't know when it will be repaid.

Bai Jingzheng felt regretful. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the white housework robot playing bright music and cleaning the ground. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

By the way, he has other ways to make money, such as extracting energy fluid!

The egg-sized piece of dried green jadeite just now is a scrap that no one buys, and it will not exceed 500 star coins at most, but the price of the first-level energy box is 2,000 star coins, which has quadrupled at once!

This is the same huge profit as gambling stones.

Anyway, the Stone Gambling Association will only calculate the betting rate, so he can choose wool with jadeite as much as possible on the basis of gambling down.

It is not necessary to solve the white stone to lose the bet, just like that test question, as long as the price of jade is less than the price of the original stone, it is a bet.

At that time, he can choose one or two pieces of wool like water, and use these jadeites to make energy liquid, and he can get a lot of money in his account!

In this way, even the Stone Gambling Guild can't find out.

After solving this problem, he thought of another problem that caused him quite a headache.

The stone gambling battle will be held in Gu's gambling stone shop. It is a battle against everyone. There are thousands of spectators in the audience, and the crowd of betting on Xingwang is really spectacular.

Thinking of those fanatical fans, Bai Jing frowned slightly, it was probably difficult for him to adapt to such a scene.

I don't know if I can change my identity to participate in the gambling battle?

He didn't want to use the name Bai Jing, and he didn't want to make everything public about him.

Bai Jing thought for a while before taking out his light brain and sending a message to Gu Yuanchao:

[Young Master Gu, I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you have time tomorrow? 】

Almost immediately, he received a reply from the other party: [Okay, anytime. 】

at any time? Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, Gu Shao...it must be very busy.

It would be better to go earlier.

Before dawn the next day, Bai Jing came to the second floor of Gu's Gambling Stone Shop, and was led by Qiao An into the box.

Gu Yuanchao should have just finished training. When he came out of the training room, there was still crystal sweat on his hair. The close-fitting military uniform wrapped his tall and perfect body, showing smooth muscle contours. One cannot ignore it.

Bai Jing looked at his 3S-level body with admiration, his perception automatically analyzed his physical fitness data, and at the same time he was amazed in his heart, it also made him reluctant to look away.

Gu Yuanchao met Bai Jing's straightforward gaze, his body froze suddenly, and while walking to the bathroom, he said, "Well... I didn't expect you to come so early. I'll take a shower first, it won't take too long."

In the bathroom, the black military belt was unbuttoned and thrown aside, and the big hand unbuttoned the buttons one by one, revealing Gu Yuanchao's body without a trace of fat, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and every inch of line was approaching perfection. With the ultimate sense of power.

The icy water sprayed from the overhead shower, making a splash.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Half an hour later, Gu Yuanchao came out of the bathroom and changed his clothes. He was still handsome and tall without a military uniform, but a little more casual and lazy.

"It doesn't matter." Bai Jing looked at him: "Can I participate in tomorrow's stone betting battle?"

Gu Yuanchao's eyes were a little surprised: "Are you going to participate now?"

Generally, participating in stone gambling wars starts from second-level stone gambling masters. Many first-level stone gambling masters will not take the initiative to participate in stone gambling wars when they have insufficient experience.

Betting on stones under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, in case of defeat, will leave a psychological shadow, which is not conducive to the accumulation of fame and fans in the future.

If Bai Jing participates in the battle, it is very likely that he will be matched with a second-level stone gambler. Meeting such a powerful opponent for the first time on the stage will cause a lot of psychological pressure.

Although he wanted to let the other party grow up as soon as possible, but not in this way.

Bai Jing's voice was very firm: "That's right. It's just—"

The slender eyelashes behind the lens trembled slightly like a small fan, and he hesitated a little: "Can I hide my identity?"

"Can."

Gu Yuanchao's deep eyes looked at Bai Jing: "However, many stone gamblers participate in stone gambling battles to increase their popularity and enjoy the feeling of being in the limelight. Don't you like it?"

Bai Jing lowered his eyes: "I can accept it, but I'm more afraid of trouble."

Gu Yuanchao: "Okay, I will create a new identity for you. What kind of identity do you like?"

Bai Jing: "You can."

Gu Yuanchao pondered: "For the sake of safety, consider it as a descendant of the Gu family branch on other planets, so it is reasonable for you to participate in the stone betting battle for the Gu family. What about the name 'Gu Yun'?"

Bai Jing: "Thank you, it sounds good."

Gu Yuanchao: "Then you can move in this afternoon."

Bai Jing looked at him puzzled: ?

Gu Yuanchao explained: "Since it is a branch of the Gu family, it should naturally live in the property owned by the Gu family.

Don't worry, I don't usually go back. You are the only one in the whole suite, and you won't be disturbed. "

Seeing the other party hesitate, he added: "This is also for your safety. Living here, I will not let anyone discover your true identity."

Bai Jing thought about it and finally agreed: "Thank you for your arrangement."

Gu Yuanchao's black eyes were stained with a smile, and there was a rare joy in his voice: "You're welcome."

***

Bai Jing tidied up briefly, he had very few things, basically just a few sets of clothes and a notebook for recording the content of the class, all stuffed into the box.

He had planned to take the suspension train to his new address, but Gu Yuanchao asked for his address on the grounds that his residence needed to be reviewed, and said that someone would be sent to pick him up.

Bai Jing walked out of the door holding the box, and a particularly cool hover car was parked thirty centimeters above the ground.

The ultra-smooth black streamlined body, with the 'S' class logo on the wings, is a top-of-the-line limited edition, and there are not many cars in the entire empire.

The car window opened, and Gu Yuanchao's handsome features appeared in front of him.

Fortunately, the place where Bai Jing lived was very remote, otherwise it would definitely cause a sensation.

Bai Jing was surprised: "Young Master Gu, why are you here in person?" Didn't you say you were going to send someone to pick him up.

Gu Yuanchao didn't answer, the automatic car door rose up like the wings of a flying eagle, and two long legs against the sky stepped out of the car, walked to Bai Jing, and took the box from his hand involuntarily.

Bai Jing looked at his empty hands. He had always been self-reliant. For the first time, he felt the feeling of being taken care of by someone, and that person was also a major general of the empire, and the honorable Young Master Gu.

Gu Yuanchao looked at him with a smile: "Come on, get in the car."

"Well." Bai Jing jumped agilely and gently and sat in the passenger seat.

The suspension car with excellent performance galloped away. Gu Yuanchao saw Bai Jing's hands grasping the seat tightly, slowed down his speed thoughtfully, and arrived at the most prosperous area in the main city after ten minutes.

The residence Gu Yuanchao said was like a closed high-rise building in the shape of a white eggshell. After iris recognition and body scanning, the white heavy-duty hatch slowly opened, and the black hover car drove in and quickly closed.

This is an independent space, very high, and the hover car swoops down and stops in the hovering room on the eighth floor in the middle.

Walking into the room on the eighth floor, Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not that kind of aristocratic manor or an oversized villa, but an ordinary four-bedroom and two-hall, about 300 square meters.

The facilities in the room are very complete, but there is no trace of use at all. It seems that no one lives here.

Gu Yuanchao entered his information and left, leaving him with enough privacy.

Seeing the other party leave, Bai Jing felt a bit of goodwill towards him in his heart.

After several contacts, he found that this person is not as unfriendly as other nobles from aristocratic families. Instead, he is very measured and considerate in dealing with other people, and he does not have the air of aristocrats at all.

Perhaps, the two of them can become friends outside of their partnership.

Bai Jing put the suitcase in the master bedroom and planned to put the clothes in.

When he opened the wardrobe, he found that it was full of brand new clothes, and the size was obviously not Gu Yuanchao's.

Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, then realized that these seemed to be prepared for him.

The style and color of these clothes are not ostentatious, but the daily style of soft and skin-friendly texture, which is very similar to the feeling of the white sweater last time.

Moreover, Bai Jing took a set and made a gesture on his body. How should I put it, it was like taking a ruler and measuring it inch by inch on his body.

Putting the clothes in the box, Bai Jing went to the storage room and planned to buy some natural ingredients to put in. This was his habit.

As a result, when he opened the door of the storage room, what he saw was a pile of natural foods, neatly arranged in different categories, and all of them were the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

There was a warm current in Bai Jing's heart, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

Although he doesn't like to owe others favors, he is not ignorant. He can feel that Young Master Gu values ​​him, and he definitely put a lot of thought into it.

[Bai Jing: Master Gu, thank you for the things you prepared for me, I like it very much. 】

Gu Yuanchao received the message from Bai Jing, and the anxiety in his heart finally disappeared.

The reason why he left so quickly was because he was worried that with him by his side, the young man would feel that his self-esteem would be frustrated, and it was a kind of grace to talk about this.

But now it seems that Bai Jing doesn't feel inferior because of his background, and he can understand his good intentions.

Entering another room about the same size as the master bedroom, Bai Jing found that there was a complete set of calcite equipment. He stepped forward and checked it carefully and found that it was of the highest level of precision. Even a novice calcite would not cause damage to jadeite. .

In addition, there is a matching sound shielding device in the room and a five-meter-long stone table for placing wool, and a white space button is placed on the table.

Bai Jing didn't know how he felt in his heart. Gu Yuanchao was so thoughtful, he didn't even know how to repay the other party.

The only thing that can be done is to work hard to become a senior stone gambler, hoping to help the Gu family go further.

Bai Jing had also thought about why Gu Yuanchao would find him as the exclusive stone gambler. Gu's wealthy and wealthy, there should be no shortage of stone gamblers...

Even if he values ​​his luck, it seems a little reluctant.

But later, Bai Jing found the answer while searching for news on StarNet. It turns out that Master Gu Liubai has been lying in the medical cabin for treatment since he was attacked by a strange beast with mental power two years ago, and there is no sign of waking up so far.

Master Gu Liubai is the only eighth-level stone gambler in the empire, and he is also the pillar of Gu's in the stone gambling world. Now his unconsciousness is a huge blow to Gu.

Although it would not shake the foundation of the giant Gu family for a while, Bai Jing knew that other noble families would not easily let such a good opportunity go.

Bai Jing dare not say that he can reach the ability and status of Master Gu Liubai, but he will do his best to help the Gu family and Gu Yuanchao.

Tomorrow's stone game, he will never lose!

The author has something to say:

Small Theater 1:

Bai Jing (face expressionless): Impurities are too annoying, I dislike it.jpg

Yes, this is the victory of OCD!

Small Theater 2:

Gu Shao: Ah Jing come to me, I have time to QAQ at any time

How does A Jing want to repay me, I'm looking forward to it!

Bai Jing: Participate in the stone gambling battle.
