Chapter 11

The latest update of "Traversing the Starry Expanse: A Wife's Glory and a Husband's Nobility"!

"Th-this..." Luo Bi’s luck was indeed good, but going to the gemstone gambling street first required a substantial amount of funds, and their current family situation couldn’t afford any setbacks.

After a brief hesitation, Guan Zhuting still agreed to go to the gemstone gambling street with Luo Bi; what Luo Bi decided was not something she could stop.

The family didn’t have a hover car, but Luo Bi had a small sports car. She drove in front, and Guan Zhuting squeezed into the narrow space at the back. The two of them went to the gemstone gambling street like this.

In the future star system, many people were active on the gemstone gambling street, including ordinary people dreaming of getting rich, young masters from noble families looking for entertainment, professional gemstone gamblers, and merchants and representatives from various family forces who came to purchase stone materials. The gemstone gambling street, like the spirit plant street, had a very booming business throughout the star system.

Luo Bi rarely came to the gemstone gambling street. As they walked, she looked around. The sound of stone cutting was continuous, getting louder from time to time, indicating that someone had cut out high-quality jadeite. Luo Bi only glanced at it twice before calling Guan Zhuting to go into a shop to select stones.

Luo Bi didn’t pay attention to the high-priced rough stones. After a quick tour, she directly checked the low-priced inferior rough stones. The shop assistant, who had initially greeted them with a smile, now looked disdainful.

"These inferior rough stones have an extremely low yield, and even if they do produce stones, the energy content is not much," Guan Zhuting couldn’t help but remind her.

Luo Bi didn’t say anything, just pressed her hand on a good-looking one and concentrated her mental energy to secretly investigate. The pile of rough stones was not small, and there must be jadeite inside, but the energy content was very thin. Luo Bi ignored the rough stones with thin energy content and carefully searched for high-quality jadeite rough stones. However, after a thorough investigation, she didn’t find any that satisfied her.

Luo Bi sighed and turned to leave.

Her plan was simple: to spend the least amount of star currency to gamble for high-quality jadeite. However, the yield of inferior rough stones was already low, and the probability of getting high-quality jadeite was even lower. There were hundreds of shops on the gemstone gambling street, and Luo Bi couldn’t investigate each one. Her mental energy couldn’t afford such a drain. She chose to investigate the shops that looked promising.

After visiting over a dozen shops, Luo Bi’s mental energy was drained, and her head started to ache. At this moment, a series of chaotic noises came from the stone cutting area, and people, out of curiosity, rushed over to see what was happening.

"Someone has cut out something good," someone shouted as they ran over.

Guan Zhuting stood on tiptoe to look: "Let’s go see too."

"No," Luo Bi frowned, pressing her hand against her forehead. Seeing someone else cut out something good wouldn’t make it hers, so why bother? She stared at a shop in front of her for a moment and then walked over.

"Let’s go inside and take a look!" The shop manager was watching the stone cutting area from the entrance. Seeing a customer, he called them in.

Luo Bi briefly turned around in the high-priced rough stone area and then directly headed to the cheapest inferior rough stone area.

The manager didn’t show any contempt and followed behind Luo Bi, saying, "These rough stones are relatively cheap."

Luo Bi casually picked a few rough stones, placed her hand on them, and released her mental energy, but felt nothing. She let out a frustrated sigh and touched each one in turn. Suddenly, when she touched a piece of black rough stone, she felt a scorching energy wave. Upon closer investigation, she saw a red glow.

The energy was abundant and red. Could it be red jadeite?

Luo Bi’s heart raced. After a brief moment of hesitation, she picked up the black rough stone and fully released her mental energy to investigate further.
