Bing Zhixie was walking in the slums of the Gemstone District. The low-rise houses around them looked dilapidated compared to the glamorous city. The intense heat made the already bad dirt and stone streets even more lifeless. At this time, they were more willing to spend three or five silver coins.
Buy some cryolite and hide in the house to blow the air conditioner.
At the corner of the house, a big withered tree was wilted by the sun, and the shrill chirping of cicadas seemed to protest the horrible weather. Under the old tree was a neon sign with wooden branches. It was not dark yet, so the spar on the sign was
The lights were not on, but the colorful characters on the signboard could be clearly seen from a distance - 'happy hair house'.
Fawu usually means brothel. Although there are no people on the street now, two women with heavy makeup are still standing in the shade in front of the fawu, waiting to attract customers, so when Bing Zhixie passed by the fawu,
He became the target of their recruitment.
"Hey handsome guy, do you want to play?" A woman with blond curly hair walked towards him smoking a cigarette.
"No need." Bing Zhixie quickened his pace, as if he was running away.
The other woman giggled: "Look, you scared him away."
The alleys in the slums are as dense as cobwebs and have no rules. It is like being in a maze and it is easy to get lost. In this alley, a group of young people are gathering together to gamble. They squat one by one.
There were no tables or benches at the corner of the alley, just a cloth mat was enough for them to gamble.
They didn't gamble much, which could be seen from the handfuls of silver coins and broken magic crystals in front of them. Occasionally, yellow shadows could be seen in the silver coins, or half a gold coin with a corner broken. However, they didn't have much money to gamble, but they still gambled.
He had to concentrate, holding cards in his hands as if he was observing the situation, and also seemed to be analyzing the pros and cons of the situation at hand.
Bing Zhixie came up behind them quietly, not saying anything but just watching quietly. However, he had no idea what these people were playing, and he was not very interested in games like cards.
The game ended quickly, and the guys playing cards also noticed the people next to them. A red-haired man shuffled the cards and asked Bing Zhixie: "Do you want to play a few games? It's not a big game.
Five silver coins a round."
Bing Zhixie said: "I want to play something bigger, and I don't want to play this one."
"What do you want to play?" the red-haired man asked.
"I want to play Samsung League."
Three-Star Alliance is a card game played by six people. Every three people form an alliance to fight against each other.
Bing Zhixie took off the money bag from his belt and threw it on the cloth stall. The money bags in the bag fell out.
When the red-haired man saw that the money bag was full of gold scrolls and magic crystal coins, his voice trembled a little: "How...how big do you want to play?"
Bing Zhixie said: "One hundred gold is the base, and ten gold is a card. The base gold is doubled when the 'Dragon King' is played, and the gold is doubled when the 'Angel' is played. After the 'Dragon King', 'Angel' and 'Demon' are played, all the amounts are
Double it again.”
Several of the card gamblers swallowed their saliva and stood up from the ground. The red-haired man said: "Sorry, we can't play such a big game."
"Then find someone you can play with." Bing Zhixie asked, "Where's Glendon? Does he still live here?"
The red-haired man looked at Bing Zhi and smiled evilly: "You want to bet with him? Do you know that he is the most powerful gambler here. As long as he is around, he has never lost a bet."
Bingzhi smiled evilly and said, "I know, and I know it very clearly. That's why I came to him and bet with him."
The red-haired man asked: "Do you know him?"
"know."
The red-haired man asked again: "Are you his friend?"
Bing Zhixie said: "Maybe." As he said that, he raised his left hand slightly, and a magic crystal coin from the wallet flew into his hand, and threw it to the red-haired man: "Take me to see him."
In the cellar, the smoky cellar, the dark cellar, several gamblers were gambling around an old wooden table. Among these people were swordsmen wearing sword armor, a skinny and sick old man, a beautiful and coquettish woman, and a young and elegant young man.
, a dwarf with a brown beard and a man carrying a heavy battle ax. These six people were playing the card game of the Samsung Alliance, which was also one of Grandon's favorite cards.
The red-haired man climbed down from the wooden ladder in the cellar with Bing Zhixie, and suddenly a pungent smell of tobacco and alcohol rushed into his mind. The red-haired man was not used to this smell, so he slapped his nose hard, but
But Bing Zhixie didn't care. He looked at the six people present. Apart from Glendon, there was someone he knew, or rather someone he had seen. This person was the man carrying a silver battle axe.
It was the man who defeated the Minotaur in the heroic battle in the duel yesterday.
"You're here, red-haired monkey. Do you have a problem with me?" The person who spoke was a young man. He didn't look up. The coughing sound of the red-haired man already told him who it was.
The red-haired man had short curly red hair and a lot of thick red hair on his face. At first glance, he looked like a red-haired monkey. He coughed a few more times, covered his nose and said, "This is the person who is looking for you.
"
Only then did the young man raise his head. When he saw it was Bing Zhixie, he immediately jumped up from his chair: "What the hell, why are you here!"
Bingzhixie said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I shouldn't scare you like this."
Glendon's full name is Jacques Crandon. He has short blond hair, a black brimmed hat, blue eyes, fair skin, a red scarf tied around his neck, and a brown casual suit with a lining inside.
Wearing white underwear. He said: "It's not good to see you. Go, go, go, go. I don't want to see you."
Bingzhi smiled evilly and said, "Even if you say so, I won't leave."
"I knew you were a scoundrel. Damn it, I didn't ask the old woman to give me a divination today. No wonder I had such bad luck." Glendon cursed.
"Hey, it's your turn." The swordsman knocked on the table impatiently.
Glendon threw down the cards and said: "Forget it, let's not play anymore. Why play when you see someone unlucky? This one is all mine."
"Cut!" The swordsman collected the coins on the table, turned around and left the cellar.
The beautiful woman laughed and said: "He seems to have lost a lot, no wonder he is so angry."
Glendon said: "What about you? You won a lot, right?"
"It's not bad." The beautiful woman walked up to him and stroked his chin and said, "Remember to come to me tonight. I'll wait for you at home."
In the blink of an eye, all the card players were gone, and Bing Zhixie and Glendon also left the cellar.
Glendon said: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Bingzhi smiled evilly and said, "What can I do for you? Of course I'm here to gamble."
"I won't bet you." Glendon said simply.
The red-haired monkey walking next to him was stunned for a moment.
Bing Zhixie laughed and said, "It's surprising that Glendon, who has always been addicted to gambling, would refuse to gamble."
Grandon said: "If you want to gamble, just come and play cards, dice, chess, whatever."
Bing Zhixie shook her hand and said, "I won't do that. My card-playing skills are about the same as those of a junior student."
Glendon chuckled and said, "If you don't come here, don't bet with me. If I bet with you on those messy things, I will be fooled by you sooner or later."
The red-haired monkey became more and more curious as he listened to his words. He seemed to have bet with the white-haired boy and seemed to have lost.
Bing Zhixie said: "Gambling is originally a contest of wisdom, isn't it? I remember you said this."
Glendon said: "Do you want to indirectly say that my IQ is not high? If you say so, I will admit it. Anyway, I just won't bet with you. Last time I was fooled into betting on ants with you, and I lost my life.
I almost lost it, I will never be fooled by you this time."
The red-haired monkey thought about how to gamble by counting ants, and how he could lose his life.
Bing Zhixie threw the money bag to Grandon and said: "Here are fifteen thousand gold coins... No, it should be fourteen thousand nine hundred gold coins. I bet this round with me. No matter whether I lose or win, this money will be the same."
is yours."
Glendon asked: "What if we lose or win?"
Bing Zhixie said: "If you win, add fifty thousand more, and if you lose, do me a favor."
"I knew it."
Bing Zhixie said: "If you don't dare to gamble with me, hang a sign on yourself that says 'I am a shame to gamblers' and then quit gambling."
Glendon shouted: "Are you kidding me!"
Bing Zhixie said: "Then bet with me, don't you have confidence?"
"There is no gambling game in the world that I dare not bet on!" Grandon weighed his money bag and was already a little excited. Gambling is a hobby, interest, stimulation and challenge for him: "Okay, I will go with you.
You bet, but what you bet on and how you bet are up to me."
Bingzhi smiled evilly and said, "Didn't you decide the number of ants last time?"
"you……"
Bing Zhixie said: "As long as it's not gambling on cards, gambling on chess or anything else is fine."
"Humph, you are definitely going to lose this time." Glendon looked around and had an idea in his mind. He smiled and said: "This is a crossroads. Usually few people pass by here at this time, so I'll bet you the first time."
Is a person passing this intersection a man or a woman?"
"Oh, this seems like a fair game." Bing Zhixie said.
The red-haired monkey said: "It is indeed fair. Both men and women only have a 50% chance. You each choose one and bet on your own luck."
Bing Zhixie looked at the intersection carefully and asked, "Who chooses first?"
Glendon thought for a moment and said, "If I choose first, you will think it's unfair. Let's just leave the choice to gold coins."
"Guessing again?"
Glendon tossed up the gold coin and pressed it on his hand, and asked: "Guess head or tail, the probability is also 50%, how about it?"
Bing Zhixie shook his head: "Not very good. Can I guess the right thing when you toss a gold coin? It's easy for a gambler like you to decide whether a gold coin is good or bad."
Glendon said: "Then let him toss the gold coins."
Bing Zhixie said nothing.
"Feisuo, come and throw the gold coins."
Feisuo, the red-haired monkey, threw the gold coin high and placed it on the back of his hand...
