The streets of the Gana Planet were still brightly lit at night, bustling with people. For Martial Artists, sleep was no longer a daily necessity. It wouldn't matter even if they didn't sleep for weeks on end.
Fang Jueyu, as usual, wandered into a gambling den called "Black Ink Stone Workshop." Fang Jueyu had beco sowhat famous in this city, and no matter where he went, a large crowd of gamblers followed him.
They all wanted to see when Fang Jueyu's undefeated legend, purely based on luck, would finally be broken.
"Mark this one for !"
"And that one too!"
"These two as well."
He wandered among the piles of raw stones as if shopping for groceries, barely pausing for a mont. As for that shadowy creature, it followed him closely, lazily lounging on Fang Jueyu's head or shoulder, sleeping.
Of course, no one linked Fang Jueyu's abilities to that creature. After all, except for the Pupil Technique Masters among humans, no creature had been able to peer into the secrets within raw stones.
"Ergouzi, just like always, don't bother with the low-quality raw stones. Let know if you see any level five or six ones." Fang Jueyu communicated with Ergouzi through a sensory connection.
"Woof," Ergouzi replied feebly. It wasn't that Ergouzi couldn't find them; it was just that finding a raw stone with a Cosmic Crystal among a thousand was rare, let alone a level five or six one.
No one knew how many raw stones had accumulated in the entire city. The quantity would take a hundred years to look through. It had been three days since saying goodbye to Reyno, and Fang Jueyu had only extracted two level-three Cosmic Crystals and so level one or two ones at most.
This was already considered an impressive feat in the eyes of the gamblers, but Fang Jueyu was starting to look down on this level of Cosmic Crystals. Now, only level-three or higher Cosmic Crystals were worth his attention.
Suddenly, Fang Jueyu paused for a mont without anyone noticing. Ergouzi was reminding him that there was sothing special in this pile of raw stones, reacting more strongly than usual.
"Could it be a level five Cosmic Crystal?" Fang Jueyu's eyes fell on a raw stone about the size of a human head.
It appeared entirely black, with its surface covered in countless tiny pits, and a layer of dust on top, suggesting it had likely been sitting in the workshop for decades or even longer.
"This one, this one, and this one too, count them in." Fang Jueyu pointed to a few nearby raw stones, stealthily including the one Ergouzi had indicated.
"Alright, that's it." Fang Jueyu idly wandered for another five minutes, casually pointing to a few useless stones. He couldn't wait to see what level Cosmic Crystal was inside that stone.
"It's starting, it's starting. The Gambling God is about to start unraveling stones again!"
"Co watch, see how many Cosmic Crystals the Gambling God can reveal today."
"I guess two!"
"Bullshit, the Gambling God can hit one out of twenty or thirty stones; there are at least seventy or eighty here. I guess four!"
"Start betting, the Gambling God is about to unveil the stones!" So clever folks even opened a betting pool based on how many Cosmic Crystals Fang Jueyu could find. It was clear that people here were crazy about making money.
Today was destined to be unusual. Fang Jueyu had selected 82 raw stones, but by the ti they reached the fifty-sothing pieces, they were all duds.
"No way? Did the Gambling God's luck finally run out?"
"He's already lost several billion cosmic coins; the Gambling God might lose money today."
"Ah, it seems there's no one in this world who never loses."
"Hey, why are you all so anxious?" A few gamblers who had been following Fang Jueyu for over a month protested. "Many tis, the Gambling God gets the Cosmic Crystal on the last stone and wins it all back with interest. You can tell you are all just fake fans!"
"Exactly! There are still over twenty stones left; believe in his luck."
"Hahaha, my luck has always been great, but I've been wanting to gamble and lose once, considering I've never tasted failure," Fang Jueyu interacted with the gamblers.
"Hmph, being touted by a few gamblers as a Gambling God, he really believes he's invincible," murmured a staff mber to his colleagues inside the workshop.
Naturally, their mindset stemd from Fang Jueyu's ability to make a fortune from stone gambling, while they only made a living working there. Their annual inco couldn't even compare to the amount Fang Jueyu spent on a single raw stone.
Of the remaining twenty-plus raw stones, all were nearly unraveled, leaving only the last two.
Seeing this, many gamblers showed disappointnt. It wasn't Fang Jueyu's enviable luck they admired so much, but rather a conviction within them. When they saw soone who never lost, they believed that one day, they'd win back what they'd lost.
But if Fang Jueyu lost, it seed as if their world also turned dark.
"We've finally reached this raw stone." That stone was finally placed on the unraveling machine.
An unbelievable scene unfolded before Fang Jueyu's eyes. The stone had just been peeled slightly when a dazzling purple light burst forth, accompanied by an intense energy, as vast as the ocean.
"Purple light, purple light!"
"My heavens, it's a level-six Cosmic Crystal, level six!"
"The Gambling God, truly a Gambling God! He really never loses!"
Countless gamblers stood throughout the planet, staring blankly at the sky filled with brilliantly illuminated purple clouds.
"The purple aura from the east, an imperial visage," Fang Jueyu quickly pulled out his phone to snap a picture. Once back on Earth, he could post it online. This spectacle could undoubtedly outshine any photography master.
Within a manor-like castle on the Gana Planet, an elder sat with eyes closed, a red mist over them. When sensing the energy fluctuation, he sharply opened his eyes.
"A level-six Cosmic Crystal? Who is it? Is it from the Klay family or the Morant family?"
In another courtyard, another elder leisurely erged from an antiquely styled building, "The old folks probably don't personally unravel stones anymore, right? Which young mber of a family is it? The young people are truly impressive!"
"Who knows how many raw stones it took? If they relied on Pupil Skill, they truly are remarkable."
"Sigh, if only my grandson had such talent, I'd confidently pass down the 'Qingtan Cloud Eye.'"
...
At "Rey Stone Square," an old and a young figure stepped out, looking at the sa resplendent purple light, eyes flickering with complex emotions.
"Grandpa, is a level-six Cosmic Crystal appearing?"
"Indeed, such a grand occasion might not occur even once in decades. The last ti I witnessed this, you hadn't been born yet!"
"Grandpa, do you think it could be him?" A confident face and a carefree figure flashed in Yiyi's mind.
"What do you think?" Reyno smiled faintly, "Prepare so money. He might co looking for us soon."
