The moment he saw Vincent, Bai Zishi's mind, which had been tense for four hours, seemed to relax all of a sudden, and a feeling of exhaustion suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, so violently that he almost couldn't even walk.
Vincent came to Bai Zishi against the flow of people walking outside Dongshi Street: "Let's go home."
Smiling, Bai Zishi couldn't even raise his voice: "I don't know what's going on, I just feel very tired right now."
"Thank you." Vincent stretched out his hand with a soft expression. Bai Zishi held his hand, but put most of his strength on Vincent, and the two walked slowly on the way home. go. On the way, Vincent didn't ask him about the assessment, and he didn't seem to care at all. Bai Zishi understood that he didn't want to overthink himself, just like when many Chinese students just finished the college entrance examination, many parents forced I refrained from asking my child how he did in the exam, for fear of putting too much pressure on the child.
Vincent's thoughtfulness warmed Bai Zishi's heart, and it felt good to walk quietly with his lover. Of course, you have to ignore all kinds of eyes on the road. Ever since he came to Yacheng, Bai Zishi only felt that his ability to ignore other people's eyesight had increased in a straight line.
After returning home, Bai Zishi didn't even eat. After taking a shower, he went straight to bed. After four hours of non-stop investigation, it really took a lot of his mind. After he relaxed, Bai Zishi even felt his brain hurt. This time, Vincent didn't urge him to get up to eat or anything, and let him sleep all the time. This time, Bai Zishi slept in a dark sleep, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.
Blinking his sleepy eyes, Bai Zishi turned his head to the side, Vincent's quiet sleeping face was close at hand, without his usual indifferent and self-controlled appearance, he looked gentle and calm in his sleep, with his handsome face turned sideways to him, The sound of gentle breathing seems so clear in the silent morning. It was as if a hot spring was gurgling in his heart, Bai Zishi couldn't help stretching his hand across the void above Vincent's cheek, tracing his outline with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "I will definitely work hard to live longer ..."
After sleeping and waking up, the exhaustion on his body was swept away. After Bai Zishi finished washing, he started to make breakfast first. To Bai Zishi's surprise, although the kitchen utensils were still heavy for him, they were not as heavy as before. Seems a lot lighter.
Just as he was putting breakfast on the table, Vincent happened to come down from the stairs. Bai Zishi turned to him and smiled at him: "Hurry up and wash up and come have breakfast. I'm going to Sigma's place later."
Vincent stood on the stairs, looking at Bai Zishi silently. The sun shone on the busy Little orc man, casting a layer of light on his whole body. When he turned around and smiled, he felt an indescribable touch. Filling Vincent's heart, he walked down the stairs, hugged Bai Zishi in his arms, and slowly tightened it, as if he wanted to melt him into his bones.
"What's wrong?" Bai Zishi asked warmly.
Vincent let go of him: "It's nothing." Bai, I will definitely not let you have the same fate as your clansmen!
Although he is one hundred and twenty-nine years old, Sigma has always been in good health. When Bai Zishi arrived at his home, the old Asian orc man was finishing his morning training. When he saw the little apprentice, he smiled: " Come so early?"
"Well, hello, master." Bai Zishi said hello to Sigma respectfully and stood aside.
"Come and sit." Sigma waved to him, "Tell me about the wool you picked yesterday."
Bai Zishi was originally related to this assessment, but he gave Sigma a hard time when he came up: "I picked five pieces of first-grade wool."
Sigma's smile disappeared immediately, and he looked at Bai Zishi in astonishment, but was shocked by his behavior for a while and didn't know what to say, and it took a while to regain his senses. A human being who has lived to be almost 130 years old, can he not count as Bai Zishi's plan at this moment? The old man who has always been kind to Bai Zishi showed anger on his face: "Nonsense! Five grades of wool, I haven't seen anyone who is so mad that he picks all five grades of wool! Pick up the leaks, you Thought leaks were so easy to pick up?! You said it well that day, but you never gave up on the second path, right?! Gambling with stones is a difficult path. If you go farther and for a long time, Then you have to walk steadily. The mentality in the middle is the most important thing. Gambling with stones is basically a heartbeat. If you don’t correct your mentality, one day you will not be able to bear such a big emotion, and your eagerness for quick success is the most important thing. If you have such an attitude, I will simply not teach you anymore, the more you teach, the more you will fall, lest I will harm you when I grow old!"
"I know I was wrong, Master, don't be angry." It was the first time Sigma spoke to him in such a harsh tone, no matter what, Bai Zishi lowered his head slightly without saying a word, as if he had been taught to admit his mistake. Although he didn't feel that he couldn't go far in betting on stones, he felt sorry for Sigma being so angry. The master is really good for him. Every time he takes him into the mining area, he gets to know some people well. From those people, Bai Zishi knows that he is the only apprentice brought into the mining area by Sigma. Bai Zishi also respects Sigma very much, and when Sigma gets angry, he can only obediently listen to the training.
After getting angry, Sigma calmed down a little bit. Looking at the pitiful apprentice who obediently bowed his head and was being scolded, he couldn't bear to say harsh words: "Tell me, what's the matter with you." I was shocked, and now that I'm done venting my anger, I also feel that something is wrong. Among other things, this little apprentice has always been calm, so there's no reason for him to do such an inconspicuous thing this time?
Sigma was waiting for him to explain, but... Bai Zishi smiled wryly. He really wanted to explain, but what should I say? Said that he already knew that there was jade in that piece of wool? It is estimated that when he just said it, he was either considered crazy by Sigma, or he was praised as some kind of treasure. Maybe what is waiting for him next is the restriction of freedom and the like. Although Sigma has always loved him, Bai Zishi has never been afraid to use the worst thoughts to guess people's hearts. If this ability is not necessary, he will even hide it from Vincent. Throughout life, there are always some secrets that can't seem to be shared with anyone.
In the end, Bai Zishi just said: "The time is too tight, and I can't see much wool in four hours. The second, third, and fourth grade wool areas are crowded with people, and I don't have anything to fancy. One mountain looks at another mountain high, and I always worry that I will see the best, and the competition is fierce. Instead, I think it is better to go to the first level to have a look. Although the probability of getting green is low, once it is green, it is a gamble. Easy to score."
Such an explanation is somewhat reasonable, and Sigma's face looks better now. After all, he has also passed the stone gambling master exam, but there were not so many candidates when they took the exam.
"Forget it, I'm just afraid that you will be complacent and eager for quick success. Otherwise, even if you only gamble stones from such wool in the future, I won't care about you. Since you have your own considerations, I won't talk about you anymore. I just don't care about you. Hold on, at any time, you have to put your mind right, I don't ask you to be flattered, but at least you can look at things like 'gambling down' with a normal mind."
"I see. Master, don't worry, I won't let you down."
Sigma's face looked better now: "I picked five yuan of first-grade wool... Tell me, how sure are you?"
Bai Zishi pondered for a while, he was warned not to be complacent just now, he thought for a while, and said: "Five middle two is sure."
"Yo!" Sigma laughed angrily, and said that he couldn't be proud. Look at what he said even though his face was serious at the moment! "How long have you been doing it, and you dare to say that you can be in the first grade of wool, five out of two?!"
"Ah?" Hearing this tone, Bai Zishi was taken aback. He thought his feelings were low, or did Sigma think it was high? Afraid of being reprimanded again, Bai Zishi raised his wrist: "My luck has always been good, Master, not to mention you gave me this back."
Sigma was a little uncertain when he saw the dark green good luck stone on the little apprentice's white jade wrist. Although the legend of the lucky stone is not known to be true, getting this lucky stone from him is really good luck. The odds of winning a stone bet are always lower than those who lose a bet. Sigma also gave some credit to some lucky stones for being able to climb to the level of an eighth-level stone bettor. Now he is already an eighth-level stone gambler, and he doesn't have any ambitions at this age. Seeing that the child is an orphan, he is pitiful and cute, and because of Vincent's face, he gave it to him. At this moment, when Bai Zishi suddenly brought it up to talk about the matter, how much did he believe it? Besides, his apprentice luck is really very good.
"Five middle school two, you only choose the first level, so it is not a big problem to pass the practical exam." Sigma thought for a while and said, "Usually, the probability of passing the practical exam is this, but it also depends on you not taking the emeralds tomorrow. It is only necessary to solve the problem. Calculus is also part of the practical exam. However, this year's probability is not accurate. You went to the assessment, and I rejected the invitation of the chief examiner of the guild, so I can't tell what will happen this year."
Can you pass the fifth and second grades? Bai Zishi had come to his senses now, he might have done it this time. Pick five pieces from the first level that are at least hibiscus... so conspicuous! Moreover, the results must be announced openly and transparently, including the candidate number and name! This limelight is estimated to be big!
"Master, do you think someone will win all five yuan, and the increase will be huge." Bai Zishi asked jokingly.
Sigma smiled: "After so many years of assessment, there is nothing wrong. There are five yuan, but in the sense of the exam (compared with the wool grade and the emerald grade)...it has never happened." Thinking of this, he Smiling, "If there is such a person, I don't even need the scoring criteria. I can directly conclude that he must get full marks. If he performed well before, it is estimated that those old men in the guild will rush to recruit apprentices, just those in the guild. Old guy, it's a shame to grab a shot."
…
Master, then you should be prepared to be frightened...
