Chapter 2242: This Is A Foodie! Rock Gambling! (3)

“Force Chef!” The two ladies exclaimed in surprise.

“He’s just a Force Chef. It’s nothing. Has Brother Han’s cooking skills reached the master level?” Guizang Yan caught up with him and asked.

“I’m not a master…” Wang Teng shook his head.

“If you’re not at the master level, the Force dishes you make must be ordinary. No wonder Brother Han looks as if he has never eaten delicacies before,” Guizang Yan said.

“I’m a grandmaster,” Wang Teng replied calmly.

Guizang Yan:…

Being a master was nothing special. They were ubiquitous in the universe.

However, being a grandmaster was a different story. It wasn’t easy to reach the grandmaster level.

Even for a secondary profession like the Force Chef, which was not considered a top-tier career in the universe, gaining the title of a grandmaster commanded respect.

This universe explorer in front of him was a grandmaster chef? Really?

“Do you need me to show you my Secondary Career Class Alliance certification?” Wang Teng smiled.

“… No need!” Guizang Yan fell silent for a moment, shaking his head.

He quietly stepped back and joined Hengzang Mo, walking together like inseparable brothers.

“I didn’t expect Brother Han to be a Force Chef Grandmaster!” Yizang Xinnuo exclaimed.

“I just learned a bit casually,” Wang Teng modestly replied.

“Learning casually and reaching grandmaster level isn’t something to be modest about,” Shouzang Caiyun chuckled.

Wang Teng was taken aback for a moment. He smiled wryly, “It seems I shouldn’t be too modest.”

“Now I’m curious, Brother Han, what other surprises do you have for us? Are all universe explorers this formidable?” Yizang Xinnuo looked at Wang Teng with curiosity.

“Nothing special! I just dabble in a few things.” Wang Teng waved his hand.

As they chatted, they reached a massive platform where many people had gathered.

“Wow! Are they gambling on ores?” Wang Teng exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, we have many exotic ores here. Some are sourced from major mines, while others are unidentified ores purchased from martial warriors. All of them have ‘gambling’ value,” Yizang Xinnuo nodded.

“Let’s go and have some fun. It’s been a while since I gambled on ores,” Shouzang Caiyun said with excitement.

As they approached, the crowd in front parted to make way for them.

Upon reaching the platform, Wang Teng and the others could see various rocks displayed on the counters. These rocks were diverse in shape and color, and their origins were hard to discern without substantial experience.

Many people gathered around the rocks, discussing them enthusiastically, but few made a move.

The ores available at the banquet were exceptionally expensive, beyond the reach of ordinary warriors.

Accidentally buying worthless ore could deplete the fortune of even a heaven-stage martial warrior overnight.

So, although many were interested in watching, relatively few were buyers.

“Do you want to try your luck, Brother Han?” Yizang Xinnuo suggested.

“Why not? I’m quite interested in this,” Wang Teng replied with a smile.

He was indeed intrigued by ore gambling. For someone like him, who had a unique advantage, ore gambling was essentially a risk-free endeavor. Moreover, he could unexpectedly obtain valuable treasures.

Since the last time he gambled on ores on the Great Qian Empire’s Great Qian Planet, he hadn’t come across a similar opportunity. This time, he finally had a chance to indulge.

“As usual, let’s gamble and see whose rock is the most valuable,” Hengzang Mo proposed.

“Agreed!” Shouzang Caiyun nodded immediately. Considering that Wang Teng was new to this, she added, “Brother Han, it’s fine if you don’t want to participate.”

“How do you play?” Wang Teng didn’t immediately refuse but instead inquired.

“It’s simple. The person with the highest-value mined ore wins and can also acquire the ores opened by others,” Yizang Xinnuo explained.

“Count me in,” Wang Teng nodded. This gameplay was similar to what he had experienced before, just without the UC as stakes, making it less offensive.

“Let’s begin. 1 wonder if the knowledge of a universe explorer will come in handy here,” Hengzang Mo said.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Wang Teng replied with a smile.

“It seems Brother Han is quite confident,” Yizang Xinnuo looked at Wang Teng in surprise.

“Just playing around. The key is participation.” Wang Teng waved his hand.

Yizang Xinnuo gave him a meaningful look but didn’t say more. She started to select her ore.

Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, Shouzang Caiyun, and the others had already begun choosing ores. Even Yunzang Xiao wasn’t an exception. It seemed that the allure of ore gambling was irresistible to few.

A subtle golden light flashed in Wang Teng’s eyes as he activated the Real Eye. His gaze swept over the ores on the platform one by one.

“I’ve made my choice. It’s this one!” Hengzang Mo was surprisingly fast. In no time, he had selected an ore.

All eyes were drawn to his selection. The ore he chose wasn’t particularly large, weighing only 5,000 kilograms, inconspicuously placed on the platform.

Among the numerous ores, this particular one had a relatively small volume, making it difficult to attract attention.

However, its marked price was staggering—550 million UC!

For a 5,000-kilogram ore to be priced at 550 million UC, it was indeed a high valuation.

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar. Each time a high-priced ore was purchased, it caused a significant stir.

“Who’s that? He bought a 550 million ore in one go!”

“It’s Hengzang Mo! He’s the talent of the Hengzang family, Hengzang Mo!”

“Hengzang Mo! It’s him! No wonder!”

“Hengzang Mo, you’re quite generous this time. 550 million at once. Aren’t you afraid of getting scolded when you go back?” Guizang Yan asked.

Although the Five Burials Hotel was owned by the five major families, if they bought an ore and incurred such a loss, it would be a substantial sum—550 million UC, to be precise.

“If you’re going to play, play big. Recently, my mining skills have improved, and I have high hopes for this ore,” Hengzang Mo said.

“Your mining skills have improved!” Guizang Yan exclaimed in surprise.

“Hehe, this time, you guys are destined to lose!” Hengzang Mo grinned triumphantly. He deliberately kept it a secret before, revealing it now to catch them off guard and win against everyone..
