Led by Badasang, Huo Sining and her group arrived at a tavern. The so-called tavern was actually a pagoda-like building. As they went further inside, stepping over the wooden stairs into a house filled with an exotic vibe, they realized that this was indeed the inn Badasang mentioned. It was indeed an inn, but it was incredibly quiet, without any of the usual hotel bustle. Right outside the window were Myanmar's tropical jungles, giving a very serene and elegant appearance. The food here was also quite good, and considering that Huo Sining's group was all Huaxia people, Badasang was very attentive, worried that they might not be accustomed to Myanmar cuisine. He had contacted the inn in advance so that the chef not only made local dishes but also prepared a few Huaxia dishes specifically for them. For original chapters go to novel★fire.net Although these Huaxia dishes weren't very authentic, being able to eat them in a foreign land was already quite a rarity. After the meal, while having afternoon tea, Huo Sining finally lifted her head with a smile and looked at Badasang, "General Bada, I'm a straightforward person. Whatever it is, just say it. I like dealing with forthright people!" For a Myanmar Jade Mine Owner, a gambling expert, especially a highly skilled one, is extremely important. More than half of Myanmar's mine veins were found by such experts. Gambling on a mine is far more complex and challenging than gambling on stones. Before being discovered, a jade mine is just a layer of rock in ordinary mountains. You may have passed by that place countless times, stepping over it without realizing that just beneath your feet lies a vast patch of jadeite. After gambling on a vein, experts generally sell it because they do not have the capability to mine it themselves, and even if they sell the vein, they still make a profit. If an expert can gamble on finding a jade mine, then they needn't worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives. Back in the 90s, there was a gambling expert in China who took a team of over thirty people to Myanmar to gamble on mines, and this expert very smoothly gambled and found a large vein, selling it for 1.5 billion RMB. This was in the 1990s. If someone were to gamble on a large vein now, the sale price would not be just 1.5 billion; it could be several times that amount. Because of such cases, the major families in Myanmar began paying attention to the value of gambling experts. Many families would pay high salaries to hire or train skilled gambling experts to help them locate veins. Among gambling experts, the most famous should be Jade King Ma Changsheng. Back then, many in the five major families wanted to associate with the Jade King, but no one succeeded. Ultimately, Ma Changsheng surprised everyone by choosing to collaborate with the then relatively unknown Zhaton Family. In just a few months, Ma Changsheng gambled and found two good jade mines. These mines provided the Zhaton Family with raw materials for five years, generating enough profit to support the family's expenses in Myanmar for over a decade. With these two jade mines, the Zhaton Family quickly emerged and, with a strong posture, entered the upper echelons of Myanmar, becoming a member of the five major families, with indications of surpassing the Bada Family and taking the lead. Gambling on mines is difficult, but the Zhaton Family has always placed great importance on it. As the second vein was nearing depletion, they wisely chose to collaborate with Jade Gambling King Liu Chongren. Although the specifics of their agreement remain unknown, the cooperation between Liu Chongren and the Zhaton Family undoubtedly poses an unprecedented challenge and threat to Bada and other families. With Myanmar's recent internal war ending, the situation remains unclear, and many powers are controlled by major families. Without significant jade mines for support, one quickly becomes a weakling and is eliminated. Mr. Hou, despite his expertise in stone gambling, falls short. No matter how good his hearing is, he can't determine feng shui by sound. Being blind is a fatal flaw for a gambling expert. Realizing the crisis, the Bada Family is eager to find an expert to help locate veins. Despite a secret search for more than a year, they couldn't find a suitable candidate until Huo Sining appeared. When Huo Sining first showed her potential at the Pingzhou Public Plate, Badasang already took an interest in this young and beautiful Huaxia woman. But at that time, Badasang didn't regard Huo Sining highly, just thought she had potential and that there might be opportunities for interaction in the future. However, not long after, during the Ruili gambling event, Huo Sining's consecutive successes with two granite scraps drastically changed Badasang's view of her. Emerald Jade Heaven Beads and imperial green are not easily found, and even fewer can gamble them out, yet this woman did it. This woman possessed both gambling skills and luck. Badasang believed that someone like her could not disappoint him in gambling on mines. To invite Huo Sining to gamble for the Bada Family, Badasang decided to befriend her. This is why Badasang treated her with such respect and politeness after she arrived in Myanmar. The final revelation from the information was entirely unexpected. Badasang never imagined he would unwittingly bring in a Feng Shui Master skilled in Dragon Vein Seeking. Indeed, heaven favored him greatly. Badasang was filled with trust in Huo Sining, believing she was there to save the Bada Family from crisis. Following his father's instructions, Badasang sought to gradually infiltrate Huo Sining's life through emotional connections, aiming to become her friend. Unfortunately, Huo Sining was extremely cautious and didn't play by the usual rules, directly calling out his intentions and blocking all the paths he had laid out. Huo Sining looked steadily at Badasang. Though her face bore a smile, her eyes carried an imposing force: "General Bada, I'm a straightforward person. Whatever it is, just say it. I like dealing with forthright people!" Badasang's perpetual smile finally faded. He looked at Huo Sining for a while and then let out a deep sigh: "If that's the case, I'll be direct. Miss Huo, have you heard a certain piece of news?" "What news?" Huo Sining asked, puzzled.
