"Oh, is that little brother Runfa?"
Just as Fang Jueyu and that girl were locking eyes, Reyno returned from outside.
"Mr. Reyno, it's been a few days, and your aura has become even more unfathomable."
"Hahaha, with you providing me with these Cosmic Crystals every week, I'm almost at the breakthrough point, all thanks to you." Looking at the pile of Cosmic Crystals on the table from Fang Jueyu, Reyno's eyes curved with delight.
"Looks like you've had another fruitful week, little brother!"
"Fruitful, my foot," Fang Jueyu said in a dispirited tone, "It's the same as always. I earn a bunch but lose it just as quickly. This week, I only made ten trillion Cosmic Coins."
"And you're still not satisfied with ten trillion?" The girl beside him gave a disdainful look, probably thinking that even the ruler of a second-level civilization doesn't earn that much in a year, yet Fang Jueyu earned it in a week and still seemed unsatisfied.
"Oh, right, little brother, let me introduce you to my granddaughter, Yiyi. You two are about the same age, so you should get to know each other."
"Yiyi, this is little brother Zhou Runfa, the Gambling God who's been making waves on our Ghana Planet recently. You must have heard of his big name, right?"
"I've heard of the big name, but I don't know if he's as legendary as they say." Yiyi clearly had a defiant look on her face.
"Seems girl holds quite a position in the Klay family." "The name Rey Stone Square is obviously a combination of these two, even though this is just a small part of their many businesses, it still says a lot."
"Yiyi, how can you talk like that!" Reyno's eyes suddenly widened in anger. His granddaughter was both a headache and someone he couldn't do anything about. Though she was charming and poised, she was brought up pampered, had a big temper, and was very proud and ambitious.
"Mr. Reyno, it's alright. I won't stoop to the level of a little girl," Fang Jueyu said with a smile.
"Who are you calling a little girl?" Yiyi was immediately dissatisfied.
"Alright, Yiyi, stop causing trouble." When glared at by Reyno, Yiyi dared not speak further.
"Little brother, let's price these few Cosmic Origin Crystals at 600 billion Cosmic Coins each, alright?"
"No problem, let's go with your offer."
"Hahaha, little brother, you're a straightforward person," Reyno immediately transferred the money over.
"What's up, Mr. Reyno, you seem to have something on your mind?" Suddenly, Fang Jueyu noticed a hint of longing and loss in Reyno's eyes.
"Hehehe, little brother, you're quite observant." Reyno hadn't expected a young man to catch such a subtle change in his expression.
"Mr. Reyno, we're not strangers anymore. You might as well say what's on your mind, maybe I can help?" Reyno was indeed a good person, and Fang Jueyu rather liked him.
"Ah, actually it's nothing major. Cultivation inherently requires a lot of time and resource investment, it can't be rushed."
In fact, Reyno had been stuck at the bottleneck of the Controller Seventh Tier for thousands of years. Recently, he felt some looseness in the bottleneck, especially from Fang Jueyu's Fifth-Tier Cosmic Crystal, which made the genes in his body extremely active, almost at a saturation point of transition. Just a bit more and he could break through smoothly.
But he was still a bit short of external force. Recently, although he had acquired many high-quality Cosmic Crystals from Fang Jueyu, occasionally even Fourth-Tier ones, he always found himself a bit lacking afterward.
According to his judgment, he guessed he still needed one or two more Fifth-Tier Cosmic Crystals to complete the breakthrough.
But where could such things be easily found? Even when the entire family scoured the universe's stone workshops for him, there was still no response. After all, such items were often sold at high prices the moment they appeared. They had money and resources, but lacked this fortune.
"I surmise Mr. Reyno needs high-grade Cosmic Crystals?" Fang Jueyu quickly saw through Reyno's predicament, evident from his generous acquisition of Cosmic Crystals.
And probably even the Fourth-Tier Cosmic Crystals weren't meeting his requirements.
Reyno was stunned momentarily, taken aback by Fang Jueyu's insight, then he nodded with a wry smile.
"Ah, small issue. Maybe I'll get lucky in a couple of days and snag a Sixth-Tier Cosmic Crystal?" Fang Jueyu remarked nonchalantly as if everything was only natural.
"Sixth-Tier?" Reyno felt assured if he could get a Sixth-Tier Cosmic Crystal, he would definitely break through to the Controller Eighth Tier in a short time!
However, such rare things might not even appear once a year on the entire Ghana Planet, something not easily obtained.
"Boasting like that, aren't you afraid of spraining your back?" Yiyi taunted from the side. Someone like you, relying on luck to stumble upon Cosmic Crystals, might squander a hundred years here without coming across a single Sixth-Tier Cosmic Crystal.
"Is that so?" Fang Jueyu chuckled, "Well, let's wait and see. Do you think my reputation as the Gambling God Zhou Runfa is just empty talk in our Wealthy Civilization?"
"Alright then, Mr. Reyno, it's getting late. I'll head back first. I'll visit you once I get the Sixth-Tier Cosmic Crystal, so you better get the money ready."
"Hahaha, I'll be eagerly awaiting your arrival, little brother." Reyno cupped his hands and had someone escort Fang Jueyu out of the stone square.
"Grandpa! It's obvious that this guy is a fraud, and you believe him?" Yiyi immediately pouted, looking extremely upset, "You're being too courteous to him!"
"Yiyi, do you really think he's just relying on luck?" Reyno suddenly showed a profound expression.
"What, isn't he?" Yiyi said, "I heard he chooses raw stones completely by luck, without even pausing for a minute on them."
"Then, do you think someone can rely solely on luck and uncover several raw stones every day?"
"This..." Yiyi glanced at the group of gamblers clamorously solving stones outside. If it's just about luck, then why are these people constantly losing money every day? Why can Zhou Runfa keep profiting? Could the universe be so unfair?
"Grandpa, could he also possess Pupil Skill? But that's impossible. I've never heard of such a Pupil Technique."
"Then, according to your knowledge, are there any devices or methods that can directly peer through stones to see if there are Cosmic Crystals inside?"
"Of course not! If there were, what would be the need for a Pupil Technique Master like you?"
"Then there you have it." Reyno revealed a knowing smile, "Though I'm far from deserving the title of Pupil Technique Master, he might be."
"You mean, he's hiding his true abilities?"
"Yes, he must have learned some extremely advanced Pupil Skill, and his level is very high," Reyno concluded, "The Wealthy Civilization he comes from must be a very powerful and mysterious one. Perhaps he's from a Pupil Technique family within that civilization."
"It's really hard to tell."
"Yiyi, go and prepare the money," Reyno said, "First, allocate 5000 trillion Cosmic Coins."
"Grandpa, why gather so much money?"
"Hehe, just wait and see. If our guess is true, he'll likely come to us with the Sixth-Tier Cosmic Crystal before long."
