Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2406: Chapter 30: Shouzhe! Grandpa of Fortune

…

“So the Chaos Origin can actually be uncovered through gambling stones?” Wang Shouzhe was also a bit stunned. He never expected that with just a casual try, he could uncover a Chaos Spirit Stone and Chaos Origin.

But his reaction was quick. Almost immediately, he reacted and took out a jade box meant for holding Chaos Origin and used his God Sense to put those three strands of Chaos Origin inside.

This jade box originally had three strands of Chaos Origin. One was used by Master Changchun, leaving two. After this incident, the inventory surged back up to five strands.

After putting the jade box away, Wang Shouzhe finally showed a satisfied smile.

Chaos Origin is really a good thing, the more, the better~

He then took over the scraped-off stone, wiped away the dust, and sure enough, the piece inside was a Chaos Spirit Stone.

Since it hadn’t been cut or processed yet, the Chaos Spirit Stone looked a bit rough and its color wasn’t very vivid. It was far from the radiant splendor of a cut and processed stone, but it indeed was a Chaos Spirit Stone.

Although it was not large, it could still be cut into a standard Chaos Spirit Stone, with some scraps left over. Those scraps could be used for personal cultivation or exchanged for Immortal Spirit Stones. Roughly calculated, they should be able to get around ten Immortal Spirit Stones.

Calculating carefully, this round was a huge profit~

“This, this this…”

Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded, especially Yun Tiange, whose majestic phoenix eyes widened, clutching her chest and out of breath.

What about the saying that ten bets result in nine losses?

Shouzhe, are you deceiving me?

Wang Shouzhe was also speechless for a while.

Ever since he crossed over, if he said his luck was good, it seemed just average. If he said it was bad, it wasn’t really. After all, since he became the Family Head, the development of the Wang family has been going smoothly. But that was mostly due to his meticulous planning and careful layout, making it hard to attribute to luck.

This time, being able to uncover the Chaos Spirit Stone and Chaos Origin was completely beyond his expectations.

However, from another viewpoint, Wang Shouzhe’s luck wasn’t exactly bad.

For instance, marrying Ruolan as his wife, having many outstanding descendants, was also a form of great fortune.

If Anye is truly a Son of Fortune, then in terms of seniority, Wang Shouzhe would be the Grandpa of Fortune.

From this perspective, him uncovering a Chaos Spirit Stone and Chaos Origin didn’t seem too unreasonable.

“Ruined, this old man is utterly ruined.” Cai Youdao’s heart was shattered as he staggered back a few steps, looking at the “sky” of the Carry-on Cave Mansion with his face flooded with tears, crying in regret, “Wuwuwu~ I regret it so much~~~ Why, why didn’t I just cut open the stone ore to take a look? Chaos Spirit Stone, Chaos Origin, wuwu~ disciple, I’ve wronged you, I might as well bang my head to death…”

This was his biggest loss in a lifetime, the second being that time with Lici…

“Cai Tribute.” Looking at him staggering towards the house, Wang Shouzhe stopped him with a stern face, “Don’t be impulsive. Calm down first.”

“Young master… are you perhaps planning…” Cai Youdao’s crying came to a cease, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his narrow, mouse-like eyes.

It seemed like the young master’s heart was still soft…

“Don’t overthink it.” Wang Shouzhe put away the Chaos Spiritual Stone Ore, leisurely saying, “My log cabin may look simple, but it’s built with top-grade Spirit Wood Material of immense value. I’m afraid you can’t afford the compensation if you break it.”

“Young master, you might as well let me die!” Cai Youdao immediately howled in tears, while sneakily peeking at Wang Shouzhe from the corner of his eyes, “My heart is shattered into so many pieces it can’t be mended. Just let me die~~”

“If you want to die, do it outside… the flowers and plants here are expensive.” Wang Shouzhe pointed to the carry-on passage not far away, issuing a kind reminder.

Cai Youdao was choked and finally couldn’t continue crying.

“Young master, you are too heartless.” Cai Youdao wiped his tears, looking at Wang Shouzhe with a gloomy expression, “I lost even my trousers, can’t you at least offer some comforting words? After all, I am a Family Pillar you recruited personally.”

“Yes, this young master was negligent.” Wang Shouzhe nodded solemnly, “I will assign you more dangerous and heavy tasks, so you’ll earn more and hopefully recover the losses soon.”

“Also, this is a lesson called ’the longer you gamble, the more you lose!’ And another lesson is ’greedy for small gains, suffer great losses.’ If you hadn’t thrown those last dozen trash stones in… And another lesson is ’suffer small losses for great fortunes,’ since I didn’t hold it against you, a great fortune followed… I’ll write these lessons and stories into the Wang family precepts, and your story will have a place among them in the family stories…”

“Young master, you are too good at comforting ~. After what you said, my heart hurts even more.” Cai Youdao clutched his bleeding heart with a face full of despair.

“Shouzhe ah~” Jiang Yuling also snapped back from his shock, twisting over like a water snake and flattering with a smile, “You won big this time, wouldn’t you consider rewarding some scraps to your loyal subordinates? Let everyone share in the joy of your victory.”

“Makes sense.” Wang Shouzhe nodded in agreement, then beckoned to Ji Yueer, “Ji Tribute has been working hard recently, doing well on tasks. You can have those leftover ore scraps.”
