Chapter 803: Slums in Gemstone District
Bing Zhixie was walking in the slums of Gemstone District. The surrounding low houses looked dilapidated compared to the glamorous city. The scorching 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 to buy a few pieces of cryolite to hide in the house and blow out the air conditioning.
Beside the corner of the house, a big withered tree was wilted by the sun, and the shrill chirping of cicadas seemed to protest against the terrible weather. There is a neon sign with wooden branches under the old tree. It is not dark yet, so the spar lamp on the sign is not lit, but the colorful characters on the sign can be clearly seen from a distance - 'happy hair house' .
Fawu usually means brothel. Although there were no people on the street now, two women with heavy makeup were still standing in the shade in front of the hair house, waiting to attract customers, so when Bing Zhixie passed by the hair house, she became the target of their solicitation.
"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 dense like spider webs, with no rules at all. It's like being in a maze, it's easy to get lost. In this alley, a group of young people were gathering together to gamble. They were squatting in the corner of the alley. There were no tables or benches. Just a cloth mat was enough for them to gamble.
They didn't gamble much, which can be seen from the handfuls of silver coins and broken magic crystals in front of them. Occasionally, yellow shadows can 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 gambled attentively. They all held cards in their hands and seemed to be observing the situation, and they seemed to be analyzing the pros and cons of the situation at hand.
Bing Zhixie came quietly behind them, not saying anything but just watching quietly. But he had no idea what these people were playing, and he wasn't too 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 game."
Bing Zhixie said: "I want to play a big game. A little bit, and I don’t want to play this.”
“What do you want to play?” the red-haired man asked.
“I want to play Samsung Alliance.”
Samsung Alliance is a card played by six people, and 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: "You...how big do you want to play?"
Bingzhixie said: "One hundred gold is the base, ten gold is a card. Play out' The base money of Dragon King is doubled, and the money of 'Angel' is doubled. After the 'Dragon King', 'Angel' and 'Demon' are played, all the amounts are doubled again."
Several people who gambled on the cards swallowed. He took a sip and stood up from the ground. The red-haired man said: "Sorry, we can't play with such a big one."
"Then find someone who can play." Bing Zhixie asked: "Where's Glendon, he still lives 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. Just That’s why I came to him to bet.”
The red-haired man asked: “Do you know him?”
The red-haired man. Then asked: "Are you his friend?"
Bing Zhixie said: "Maybe." As he spoke, he raised his left hand slightly, and a magic crystal coin in the wallet flew into his hand, and threw it to the red-haired man: "Take me to see him."
Cellar , a smoky cellar. In 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, 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 and fanned his nose vigorously, but Bing Zhixie didn't care. He looked at the six people present. Besides Glendon, there was someone he knew, or Said it was someone he had met. This man is the man carrying the silver battle ax. He is the man who defeated the Minotaur in the duel yesterday.
"You are here, red-haired monkey. Do you have a problem with me?" The person who spoke was a young man. He did not look up. The coughing sound of the red-haired man already told him who it was
The red-haired man has short curly red hair and a lot of thick red hair on his face. At first glance, he looks like a red-haired monkey. He coughed a few more times, covered his nose and said, "This person is looking for you."
Only then did the young man raise his head, and when he saw it was Bing Zhixie, he immediately jumped up from his chair: "What the hell, why are you here!"
Bing Zhixie said: "Long time no see, no. As for scaring you like this.”
Glendon's full name is Jacques Clandon. He has short blond hair, a black brimmed hat, blue eyes, fair skin, a red scarf around his neck, and a brown set. Casual clothes lined with white underwear. He said: "Nothing good will happen if I 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."
< br> "I knew you were a scoundrel. Damn it, I didn't ask the old woman to divine for me today. No wonder I had such bad luck." Glendon cursed.
"Hey, it's your turn." The swordsman knocked on the table impatiently.
Glenden threw down the cards and said: "Forget it, let's not play anymore. Why play when you see an unlucky person? This one is all mine."
"Tch! "The swordsman collected the coins on the table, turned around and left the cellar.
The beautiful woman chuckled and said: "He seems to have lost a lot, no wonder he is so angry."
Glendon said: "What about you? You must have won a lot."
< br>
"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 a blink of an eye, several people playing cards were gone, Bing Zhixie and Ge Langdon also left the cellar.
Glenden said: "Tell me, what can you do to me?"
Bingzhi smiled evilly: "What can I do to you? Of course. Come and bet."
"I won't bet with you," Glendon said simply.
The red-haired monkey walking next to him was stunned for a moment.
Bing Zhixie laughed and said: "It's strange that Glendon, who has always been addicted to gambling, would refuse to gamble."
Glenden said: "If you want to gamble, just come. Gambling on cards, dice, chess, whatever."
Bing Zhixie shook his head. Hand said: "I won't come with those. My card playing skills are about the same as those of a junior student."
Glendon chuckled and said: "If you don't come with these, don't bet with me. If you bet 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.
Bingzhixie said: "Gambling is originally a contest of wisdom, isn't it? I remember you said this sentence."
Glendon said: "You want to say it indirectly Don't I have a high IQ? If you say so, I'll admit it. Anyway, I won’t bet with you. Last time I was fooled into betting on ants, and I almost lost my life. I will never be fooled by you this time.”
Red Haired Monkey. I thought about how counting ants is a gambling method, and how I could lose my life.
Bing Zhixie threw the money bag to Grandon and said: "Here is fifteen thousand gold coins... No, it should be 14,900 gold coins. Bet me this round, no matter it is Win or lose, the money is yours.”
Glendon asked: "What if we lose or win?"
Bingzhixie said: "If you win, add 50,000, and if you lose, do me a favor."
"I knew it."
Bingzhixiedao : "If you don't dare to gamble with me, put a sign on yourself that says 'I am a disgrace to gamblers' and quit gambling from now on."
Glendon shouted: " What a joke!”
Bing Zhixie said: "Then bet with me, don't you have confidence?"
"There is no bet in the world that I dare not bet on!" Grandon weighed his money bag, already a little excited, gambling For him, it is a hobby, interest, as well as a kind of stimulation and challenge: "Okay, I'll bet with you, but It's up to me to decide what to bet on and how to bet."
Bingzhi smiled evilly and said, "Didn't you decide the number of times last time?"
"You..."
Bingzhixie said: “As long as it’s not gambling on cards or chess, it’s fine.”
"Huh, you're going to lose this time." Glendon looked around and had an idea in his mind. He smiled and said, "This is a crossroads. Usually there are very few people passing by here at this time. I'll bet you the first time." Is the person passing through this intersection a man or a woman?”
“Oh, this seems like a fair game.” Bingzhixie 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."
Bingzhi Xie looked at the intersection carefully and asked, "Who will choose first?"
Glendon thought for a moment and said, "If I choose first, you will think it's unfair. So, We leave the choice to gold coins.”
"Guessing again?"
Grandon threw up the gold coin and pressed it on his hand, and asked: "Guess heads and tails, the same chance of 50%, how about it?"
Bingzhi Xie shook his head: "Not very good. Can I guess the gold coin correctly? It's easy for a gambler like you to decide whether the gold coin is right or wrong."
Glendon said: "Let him toss the gold coin."< br>
Bing Zhixie said nothing.
"Feisuo, throw the gold coin."
The red-haired monkey Feisuo threw the gold coin high and pressed it on the back of his hand...
