Villain: I Pick Up Rewards Next to the Female Lead

"Lin, little brother, don't just stand there, hurry up and pick the materials!"

"I'll take one piece, and you can choose the other two!"

"I have complete faith in your abilities, so go ahead and pick boldly!"

Old Liu saw Lin Fan frozen in place and thought he was nervous because it was his first time witnessing such a large gambling scene, so he comforted him.

Giving Lin Fan the chance to choose two pieces of material was a sign of his absolute trust in his abilities!

But what Old Liu didn't know was that Lin Fan wasn't nervous at all!

He was having a hard time even opening his eyes.

Especially when he wanted to use his golden eye ability, his head felt like it was being stabbed with needles!

"Old Liu, I..."

"Go ahead and pick boldly, even if you lose, I won't blame you!"

Seeing Old Liu say that, Lin Fan couldn't say anything more and could only grit his teeth and start selecting materials.

But if he didn't use the golden eye ability, relying solely on his ordinary eyesight and limited knowledge of gambling stones, he wouldn't know how to pick materials at all!

Mu An watched Lin Fan's indecisive and hesitant manner as he walked back and forth, occasionally stopping in front of a stone, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

To ensure a foolproof result, he also used his proficiency to enhance the gambling stone knowledge he had just acquired.

[You used 20,000 proficiency points, congratulations, you have mastered [Master Level Gambling Stone Knowledge]!]

In an instant, terms like full gamble, half gamble, clear material, glass type, ice type...

A wealth of professional terminology flooded his mind.

The moment he opened his eyes, it was as if he had transformed into an old gambling expert with over a hundred years of experience in the gambling stone world!

With such a wealth of knowledge combined with his ability to see through everything, if he still lost, it would truly be against the natural order!

Both sides were selecting their preferred materials.

The method of selection was still the most difficult full gamble!

That is, without cutting open any material to observe, relying solely on personal experience to choose!

To ensure fairness in the bet, Lin Zichan had also invited three professional jade appraisers.

Soon, under the expectant gazes of everyone, both sides finished their selections.

"Which side goes first?"

Lin Zichan asked.

"It doesn't have to be in order; that would waste too much time. Let's start cutting the stones at the same time!"

Mu An chuckled lightly.

He didn't want to waste his precious time here.

With that spare time, wouldn't it be better to bully his fiancée a bit (to earn some emotional rewards)?

Old Liu nodded in agreement, indicating he had no objections.

Only Lin Fan, standing to the side, was sweating nervously.

Others might not know, but he knew that the materials he had chosen might disappoint everyone greatly!

After all, this time his golden eye had failed him, and he was truly relying on luck!

Now he could only pray for a bit of good luck for himself and a bit of bad luck for the other side!

Screech, screech, screech~~

The stone-cutting master was busy at work.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"It's green! It's rising! It looks like it's a glutinous ice type! It's probably worth around three hundred thousand!"

Old Liu held his head high, exuding an air of a leisurely expert.

Because the piece being cut was the one he had selected!

"My goodness! It's actually a violet ice type! That's incredible! I've never opened one in all my years of gambling!"

The onlookers on Mu An's side suddenly gasped.

Old Liu's face changed instantly.

He had thought he was sure to pick the glutinous ice type, but unexpectedly, the other side had chosen something even better?

As expected, the three jade appraisers quickly provided their respective valuations.

"Glutinous ice type, three hundred and twenty thousand!"

"Ice type, one million six hundred and fifty thousand!"

In the first round, Mu An's side won decisively!

The gap between the two was still quite large!

And this was not surprising in gambling stones; due to factors like transparency, color, and type, the prices of different jades could vary greatly!

"It seems my luck is still as good as ever!"

Mu An said with a smile.

Old Liu's face darkened, and he didn't speak.

This was just the first piece of material; both sides still had a second and third piece, so it was too early to determine the winner!

He had quite a bit of confidence in Lin Fan!

But seeing this situation, Lin Fan was even more nervous.

Originally, he thought he could rely on Old Liu's first piece of material to widen the gap, so even if the materials he picked later didn't yield results, they wouldn't lose.

But now it seemed the outcome was completely uncertain!

Soon, both sides began cutting their second piece of material.

"Bean type, seven thousand!"

"Ice type, one million nine hundred and twenty thousand!"

When this result came out, Lin Fan nearly fainted from shock.

Because that bean type was exactly what was cut from his material, while the other side's was an extremely rare ice type!

Now the total value difference of the jade cut from both sides exceeded three million!

This meant that if his last piece of material didn't catch up to the other side's several million difference, they would definitely lose!

Old Liu's expression was also not good.

Bean type jade was basically something he considered common, and he wouldn't even glance at it normally.

But this was what he had high hopes for Lin Fan to pick.

This left him with nowhere to vent his frustration!

"It's okay, I have faith in you, Brother Lin. We still have the last piece of raw material, right?"

Old Liu tried to comfort Lin Fan, suppressing his own impatience.

It seemed he was also using these words to reassure himself.

"Mm!"

Lin Fan struggled to swallow a mouthful of water, feeling even more pressure inside.

He kept praying in his heart:

"Please, dear heavens, let me cut out a piece of top-quality glass!"

As the third piece of raw material was being cut, it seemed like the heavens heard Lin Fan's cries, and a piece of top-quality glass was indeed cut out!

But it was from the opposite side...

"Top-quality imperial green glass! Twenty-one million!"

"Water foam, not worth anything, no appraisal!"

As they spoke, the three jade appraisers exchanged strange glances at Lin Fan and Old Liu.

Even someone with a little knowledge of gambling stones wouldn't choose such raw materials, right?

With such a level, they dared to gamble with others, and even wagered over ten million?!

Could it be that they were really just foolishly rich?

The three of them shook their heads and sighed.

- "No way? Just this? I thought they were really impressive! They talked so grandly, but it turns out they just made a fool of themselves!"

- "Uh... I have to say, even I can see that water foam is worthless! Such a mistake is really... I don't even know what to say! Maybe the raw materials they cut before were just hype!"

- "Stop focusing on those two, look at Young Master Mu, he really is lucky beyond belief! Each of the three raw materials yielded something, and the total value of the jade is over ten million! A real-life version of getting rich overnight! I'm so envious!"

The crowd around them was buzzing with discussion.

Most of the ridicule was directed at Lin Fan and Old Liu, while admiration and envy were aimed at Mu An!

Faced with such a result, Old Liu felt darkness before his eyes and nearly fainted.

Lin Fan's face turned pale, filled with shame, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

After three rounds, the total value of the jade cut from the three pieces of raw material they chose was even less than a fraction of what the other side had!

If it weren't for his Golden Eye failing him, how could he let the other side be so arrogant?

He clenched his fists, his face filled with rage and unwillingness.
