Locke: Daily intelligence, I'm going crazy finding bargains!

After examination by the All-Seeing Eye, it was confirmed that the egg in the display case was indeed a genuine epic-level spirit egg, without any tampering.

Golden Bean leaned close to Luo Xing's ear and whispered something.

"Brother Xing, here are the rules: you can play one round for 10,000 Locke's Dollars. If you choose correctly, you can enter the next level for free. If you get them all right, you can get the ultimate prize for free. There are seven rooms, and each room contains three eggs. You need to choose the one with the highest value. Choosing the one means you pass."

Luo Xing wasn't in a hurry; he wandered around the hall for a while.

The all-seeing eye scanned the entire layout of the store.

The first five secret rooms were fine; they followed the standard egg-gambling rules, with the lowest quality egg being common and the highest being rare, and the probability being normal.

But when they reached the last three secret rooms, Luo Xing stopped in his tracks.

There was nothing unusual to the naked eye; the layout inside was exactly the same as the front. But in the corner of each secret room, there was a hidden elf.

Luo Xing confirmed it three times.

[Sprite Species: Little Spirit Face]

[Quality: Rare]

[Elf Type: Ghost]

[Skill: Control]

Three secret rooms, three little spirits, and three challenges in the end. Even if you choose the right answer, the little spirits will control you and change it to the wrong answer.

Luo Xing sensed that something was amiss, so he secretly took out his phone, edited a message, and sent it out.

After paying the deposit, it took nearly twenty minutes for Luo Xing to get a turn.

Luo Xing summoned Miao Miao, leaned close to its ear, and whispered something in a low voice. Miao Miao perked up its ears, listened, its golden ahoge twitched twice, and wagged its tail at Luo Xing.

Luo Xing handed the waiter 10,000 Locke Dollars as an entrance fee and pushed open the door to enter the first secret room.

Upon entering, three elf eggs were placed on the table. With the All-Seeing Eye, the information about the three eggs appeared clearly in my field of vision.

The one on the left is of average quality with so-so talent; the one in the middle is of average quality with pretty good talent; and the one on the right is of average quality with exceptionally good talent.

Luo Xing pointed to the one on the right.

"this."

The waiter revealed the answer: correct.

The second, third, and fourth levels were a breeze for Luo Xing, who simply glanced at the door each time and provided the answer within five seconds.

All four tests were passed, and the quality of the eggs was average; the only difference was their natural talent.

Luo Xing pushed open the door to the fifth secret room.

Unlike the previous four rooms, the fifth room was much dimmer, and the table had been replaced with a black stone platform. The three elf eggs ranged in color from light blue to dark blue, indicating that their quality was significantly better.

But Luo Xing's attention was not on the egg at all.

In the corner of the ceiling on the right side of the room, the little spirit face floated in the air, invisible. Without the all-seeing eye, the little spirit face at level 1 would probably be undetectable by anyone, as it released a faint magical power.

Luo Xing's gaze fell back on the three eggs on the stone platform. The left and middle ones were ordinary, while the one on the right was rare, with average talent.

He didn't choose the right side directly.

Luo Xing frowned and paced back and forth between the three eggs, pretending to be serious. He first reached out his finger to the ordinary egg on the left and touched it hesitantly.

The little spirit in the corner remained completely still.

Luo Xing knew what to do. Only when he selected the correct answer would the little spirit take action and use manipulation techniques to subtly change his choice.

He hesitated for a few more seconds, then raised his hand and pointed to the rare egg on the right.

"this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter across from him tapped the table lightly with his finger.

Luo Xing caught a glimpse of the little spirit in the corner, preparing to unleash its skill.

Suddenly, the skill's release was interrupted, and it curled up into a ball, not even daring to open its eyes.

Luo Xing stood still, his expression unchanged.

After waiting for two seconds, the waiter did not make a move.

Luo Xing raised her hand and tapped the stone platform, her tone impatient: "What's wrong? Hurry up and reveal the answer, stop dawdling."

The waiter looked puzzled and unconsciously glanced at the corner, where he noticed that Xiao Lingmian seemed to be asleep.

His Adam's apple bobbed, he forced a smile, and revealed the identification results of the elf egg on the right.

"Congratulations, you have passed the fifth level."

The sound traveled from the secret room to the live projection screen in the lobby downstairs, and the crowd immediately erupted in chaos.

"Holy crap, I beat level five!"

"Has anyone passed level five today?"

Golden Bean jumped up, clapping his chubby hands loudly, and stood in the crowd shouting at the top of his lungs, "That's my brother! My own brother!"

Su Mumu rolled her eyes, but her eyes remained fixed on the big screen.

Luo Xing pushed open the door and entered the sixth secret room, where the lighting was even dimmer than the previous one.

Luo Xing didn't hesitate for long this time, directly choosing the correct answer, and then coughed lightly.

Outside the door, upon hearing the signal, Meow Meow precisely released its pressure towards Little Spirit Face; this was the task Luo Xing had assigned to Meow Meow before the event began.

Little Spirit didn't even have a chance to react this time before fainting.

The waiter asked again, "Are you sure you want this?"

Luo Xing nodded affirmatively.

The waiter was pale and stammered out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Congratulations, you have passed level six."

The projected screen in the lobby switched to display the message "Level 6 passed".

The cheers from the onlookers were even louder than in the previous round.

Golden Bean had already stood on the table, its 200-pound body twisting wildly on the surface, almost collapsing the table.

"We passed! We passed level six! Godfather is awesome!"

Those around him were infected by his emotions and joined in the commotion.

The screen displayed the final level's hint, and the entire hall was silent for two seconds before an even bigger commotion erupted.

Inside the locked room, the waiter was speechless.

He stared at Luo Xing, his lips trembled twice, and he froze on the spot, as if he had been struck by a pressure point.

Luo Xing walked to the door and glanced back at him.

"Hey, next level."

The waiter did not respond.

Just as Luo Xing was about to shout again, heavy footsteps came from the stairs outside the secret room.

Boom, boom, boom.

The door was kicked open from the outside, and a burly man who was 1.9 meters tall walked in. He had a shiny bald head, a clown tattoo on his hand, and three thick gold chains around his neck. He was dressed like a typical nouveau riche.

As soon as he entered, he kicked the waiter to the ground.

"Get out, you useless piece of trash!"

The waiter scrambled out the door, not daring to look back.

The burly man turned around, glared at Luo Xing, his lips curled down, and his tone was clearly threatening.

"Kid, are you sure you want to play the last level?"

Luo Xing deliberately exuded the fearlessness of a newborn calf.

"certainly."

"The rules are different for the final round. If you win, the epic egg in the display case is yours. If you lose, you pay one million Lockheed Martins."

"no problem."

The burly man squinted and looked him up and down.

"You have a million?"

Before he could finish speaking, Golden Bean rushed in, panting heavily.

"Brother Xing! I'm here!"

He ripped off his watch, gold necklace, and jade thumb ring all at once, piled them on the stone platform with a clatter, and patted his chest: "Is this enough?"

The burly man glanced at the pile of things and sneered.

"Secondhand goods, even if recycled, would only fetch seven or eight hundred thousand, which isn't enough."

Golden Bean was about to retort.

Su Mumu walked in, holding a Pokémon hatching box in her hands, inside which lay a red and white Pokémon egg.

She gently placed the incubation box on the stone platform.

"An elite-grade healing rabbit elf egg, estimated to be worth 400,000 on the market. Add that to what he has, and that should be enough, right?"

The smile on the burly man's face vanished.

The commotion downstairs grew louder and louder, and you could vaguely hear someone shouting, "Scammer, give me my money back!"

The burly man clenched his teeth so tightly they were grinding; he refused to believe that the right choice would come this time.

He conjured three elf eggs out of thin air and placed them in a row in front of Luo Xing.

The three eggs looked exactly alike; their shells, colors, patterns, and sizes were almost identical.

"Choose," the burly man uttered.

Luo Xing looked down at the three eggs on the stone platform, thinking to himself, "How insidious!"
