At this time in Jol City, stone lovers all looked at the TV screen expectantly.
If Chase won this round, the association of Jol City would be in the top 8. This was an unprecedented height for them.
Zhang Shengqiao and other older men were also a little nervous.
They had no interest in money or anything. And their family was one of the four most prominent families.
At their age, fame was what they care about most.
But for those jewelers, the higher the ranking of Jol City in the stone field, the more active the jewelry market in Jol City would be.
In the limelight of the public, the staff finally cut out the jade. He detected the type of jade with advanced equipment first, and then put the jade on the tray to weigh its quality.
“Adamas, 54 grams, with the error of 14 grams.” The staff was shocked for a few seconds and finally reported the number.
He couldn’t help but glance at Chase. He has been engaged in this work for more than 20 years, and it was the first time he saw a stone gambling master like Chase today.
He had always thought that Chase was too playful, and he must be guessing all the time. But now he understood how he could guess so accurately twice in a row?
Chase was a real master.
The older man trembled and hurriedly stepped forward to check. And he looked pale as he stared at the result.
He stared back at Chase sharply and asked in a deep voice, “How did you do it?”
Chase glanced at the older man faintly, then turned and walked directly off down the platform.
At this time, the host also announced that Chase had won and became the first player to enter the quarterfinals. And he was even not in the rank of top ten in the last competition.
Seeing Chase step down, everyone applauded.
To be honest, those who could enter the top sixteen were all real masters. As long as you asked them to give you directions, it was estimated that you could make countless more money.
Especially those jewelry companies, they usually hired major stone gambling masters to be consultants with high salaries. When there were no problems, they didn’t have to go to work. When the company encountered any issues, they just needed to go to help them solve it.
Therefore, jewelers all respected the capable masters of stone gambling.
Look! Just as Chase returned to their table, many people gathered around to say hello to him suddenly.
Chase was a master who has entered the quarterfinals now. He was also the top ten master in the whole country. Generally, only big companies could afford to hire them.
“Master Chase. Nice to meet you. I am from the company of HC Jewelry…”
“Master, hello…”
“Master Chase…”
Many jewelers kept handing their business cards to Chase. Some even asked him to work as a consultant in their company. With an annual salary of tens of millions pays for him.
However, Chase didn’t pay any attention to them and just closed his eyes to relax.
For these enthusiastic jewelers, York had to receive their business cards for Chase.
“Thank you all very much. Please go back to your seat first.” York didn’t say much, and everyone nodded. Of course, they also knew that the competition of gambling stones was the most energy-consuming. So they didn’t dare to disturb Chase resting.
In a few moments, other groups’ competition had also come to an end. And everyone was looking forward to the competition among the top eight.
At this time, the host said, “Based on the organizer’s negotiation, the new players who enter the top eight will have to experience another test. If they go through the test, they can be regarded as the country’s top ten masters. This is also responsible for all jewelers.”
“What kind of test?” the audience asked immediately.
The host looked at the interrogator and said, “If you accept the challenges of ten stone gambling masters and win, you will have entered the quarterfinals. Of course, all challengers are members except for the top eight. If you lose, then the winner enters the real top eight.”
As soon as the host finished, the audience suddenly became noisy. But they all quieted down more quickly. Some looked at Chase and another middle-aged who had just entered the top eight with some sympathy.
The middle-aged man who had just entered the top eight frowned deeply. It was evident that the newly added rules were entirely unreasonable.
But soon, someone whispered a few words to the middle-aged, and then he got up and left.
Then everyone was focused on Chase.
At this time, Chase made no response and still closed his eyes to relax.
However, Lena and York frowned, and they were angry.
“What’s the fu*king rules? Each competition was so energy-consuming. They still have to accept the challenges of ten stone gambling masters in a row. How could they stand it?” Lena said, very puzzled.
“The organizer must be deliberate, and they just want to waste Chase’s energy!” York barked.
“By the way, is it true that Chase defeated Silas in Jol City before?” Zoe asked suddenly.
“Of course. I lost to Silas in the first round. And in the second round, Chase defeated Silas directly. Countless people have witnessed that competition.” York nodded and said affirmatively.
“Then, I know why they deliberately modified the rules.” Zoe sneered.
Several people looked at Zoe. He continued, “Because Silas also participated in the competition, but he was ranked in the whole nation’s top ten. So he had not played before. At this time, Chase also entered the top eight. Silas was afraid to run into Chase again, so he had no choice but to take such an unwise measure.”
People immediately understood because they all knew that Silas belonged to Stone’s Association in City Z, and he would represent City Z in the competition.
“Mull is so shameless. Their stone’s association is the most famous Rough Stone’s Association in the country. Weren’t they afraid of being ridiculed by others for doing such shameless things?” Lena growled.
Zoe shook his head and said, “It’s easy to understand. Because their association is the most famous rough stone’s association in the country, they can’t let Silas lose. At least they can’t let him fall in the 8-to-4 competition. If Silas can’t even enter the top four, they would be humiliated as the host.”
Hearing Zoe’s words, Lena also got it.
The reason was straightforward. It’s just because Lena was too angry that he didn’t think much for it at first.
When the host announced the new rules, all the audience had guessed the intention of the Stone’s Association in City Z. They aimed to eliminate Chase through competition and retain Silas.
This kind of behavior was too shameful and cheeky. However, for the Stone’s Association in City Z, it was better than anything as long as Silas won the championship. And all the discordant sounds would be overwhelmed by the cheering of tournaments.
York was also furious. And even in Jol City, countless people were already scolding Stone’s Association in City Z for its shameless operation.
“Chase, can you insist on it?” York asked Chase in worry.
Lena, Zoe, and others were also looking at Chase. It was too unfair to Chase, but they couldn’t help him. After all, this was the organizer’s rule.
Chase slowly opened his eyes and said, “No problem. Just take a rest.”
