At nine o'clock in the evening, it is the opening time of Night City.
This is a large carnival venue.
Casinos, wine bars, shopping malls, everything you need.
Gu Huai and the others felt a little out of place walking here.
The owner of the tavern was wearing a large mandarin jacket, which didn't look out of place in the crowd, while Gu Huai was wearing a sack coat and was carrying a little girl with blood stains all over his body.
This combination will make people take a second look no matter where they are.
But it’s just a matter of taking a second look.
Gu Huai's face is so famous that he doesn't look too strange wherever he is.
Everyone either feared or loathed him, despised or admired him, but no one wanted to get close to him or talk to him.
They all consciously made way for Gu Huai to reach the entrance of the casino without any hindrance.
"Didn't you say we were going to get energy?" The tavern owner regretted coming here with Gu Huai. If he had known that he was coming to the casino to get energy, he would have never come with him.
The tavern owner has a special status in the lower city. He is known as Wang Zhang, and no one or any shop dares to offend him. But there is one exception, which is the casino where no one cares.
It is said that this casino is run by a high-ranking official in the upper city. It has ridiculously good resources and is willing to kill people without blinking an eye.
This is the place where you have the most fun, and it is also the most dangerous place in Yexia City.
“You see I have money to buy energy?”
Tavern owner: "Are you crazy?"
Here, it all depends on luck. If you have good luck, everything will be fine. If you have bad luck, your life will remain here.
To put it another way, even if Gu Huai's luck is good enough, even if he wins money, there are two questions as to whether he can bring it back with his life.
After all, there is a sign at the door - once you enter, your life is at your own risk.
The tavern owner had just finished scolding him when he suddenly remembered that Gu Huai was indeed a lunatic.
"Don't go there, I'll give you whatever you want." The tavern owner took a deep breath and thought, isn't it just a little money, he can pay it, he has gone on a trip, right?
Gu Huai raised a finger.
The tavern owner's eyes widened: "One hundred silver coins? Are you crazy?"
If he wanted to earn so much, he would have to support so many children and workers for at least a month. Gu Huai was really crazy to ask him for a hundred silver coins.
How much energy does he want?
Gu Huai shook his head: "One million gold coins."
After saying that, he walked into the casino without looking back.
The tavern owner didn't know if Gu Huai was crazy, but he was really crazy.
Hesitating, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to chase after him.
The shouts, curses, and shouts of gamblers could be heard everywhere. Gu Huai had no money, so the tavern owner had no choice but to look for it at the far end.
But he searched around and couldn't find where Gu Huai was.
He had a bad premonition.
Behind him, Zhang Wei tugged at the corner of his clothes:
"Dad, he is there."
Zhang Wei was pointing to the middle stage. The shouting there was the loudest and it was also the only blood-stained gambling table. The stakes on that table were not only money, but also lives.
The tavern owner saw Gu Huai take off his tattered coat and throw it on the ground. Inside was a somewhat dirty white shirt with some blood splattered on the corners.
There were many people in the audience who knew Gu Huai:
"Madman, what are you doing here? Are you introducing your latest technological achievements to us? Hahaha!"
"Maybe he's here to introduce his daughter."
"Ha ha ha ha"
"Hahaha"
The laughter that broke out in the crowd was all malicious.
The tavern owner watched from a distance, feeling anger filling his chest and clenching his fists.
Gu Huai showed no expression. He just pointed at the rich man who made fun of Gu Muxi in the beginning and spoke:
"You want to bet with me?"
Rich people come here to have fun and don't mind who they play with.
Now that Gu Huai has made a start, he is also happy to accept it. But he is even more willing to tease Gu Huai:
"You poor guy, what are you gambling with? With your delicate daughter?"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Gu Huai smiled and pointed to his arm: "I never bet on others, I bet on this arm."
The rich man even laughed at him: "You? An arm? Do you think your arm is valuable? Who here doesn't pat their head and put it on the gaming table."
Gu Huai took out a sharp sharp knife, made a beautiful knife flower, and slapped the knife on the gambling table: "If you win, I will cut off the meat from my arm and cook you a dish with my own hands."
The rich man smiled. It was perverted, very good, he liked it very much.
"Then what's my bet?" The rich man looked at Gu Huai's arm and couldn't wait. He had seen too much blood and could no longer find the excitement, but what Gu Huai said made him feel very excited.
"All." Gu Huai, "all the money you have."
The rich man agreed happily.
The money he brought with him when he went out to play was not small, about two hundred thousand gold coins, but since he brought it, he was prepared to lose it all. Gu Huai's request was quite a lot, but it was not too much.
Within the acceptable range.
"What's the game?" The rich man rolled up his sleeves, walked out of the venue, and came to the gaming table.
Gu Huai: "The fastest way to bet is to compare big and small."
He took a deck of cards from the dealer's hand, threw it in the air, picked out one card, quickly put away the other cards, and arranged them back-up in front of the rich man.
The rich man looked at the cards in his hand and hummed: "I want the one in your hand."
Gu Huai threw it to him without hesitation.
The rich man was suspicious and put the card aside: "This card does not count. We are competing to see who is bigger. Let's pick from here."
Gu Huai was noncommittal and extended his hand to let the rich man take the card first.
The rich man then took out a card from the deck, glanced at it with his fingers, and quickly closed it with a smile.
Heart tip.
There were only three cards that Gu Huai could beat him with, and the card that was put aside just now was the queen card. In other words, the chance that Gu Huai could win was very small.
The rich man showed a proud smile.
Until Gu Huai turned over the cards, it was the king card.
He won.
"Okay, next one." Gu Huai signaled the rich man to quickly hand over his chips and stand aside so as not to affect his progress in the next round.
Gu Muxi took out the prepared sack from her pocket, climbed onto the table, and pushed the chips into the sack.
The rich man felt that he had been humiliated.
He grabbed a person next to him and whispered a few words.
There were a few wealthy people who were a little interested in Gu Huai's bet. They bet with Gu Huaiqian for two games and left with regret after losing.
After a few rounds, another person stood in front of Gu Huai.
Gu Huai glanced at him and recognized who this person was.
It was the dealer who just gave him the cards.
"What are you betting on?" Gu Huai did not expose them.
Dealer: "Bet two hundred thousand gold coins."
Gu Huai nodded. After almost finishing this game, he would get one million gold coins from get off work.
He reached out to get the cards, but the dealer held the back of his hand: "Should you also change your bet?"
Gu Huai smiled: "Oh?"
Dealer: "We designate a part, and you become the dish."
