Rock said disdainfully: "How can a nation like this become strong? Common people are just gambling. Ghost, my body has long been drained by drinking, sex and gambling. I think if a war breaks out, I'm afraid this big city won't be able to defend it for a few days." Yan Li echoed: "That's right, no wonder it's called Dark City. I think, except for those. Besides the officials and casino owners getting fat, I'm afraid these ordinary people will be wiped out like Uncle Wattana sooner or later. Hey, look, is that a casino?" As he said this, he pointed to a shop that was not big but big. The store with the most traffic. The store had no obvious signboard, but there was a large character on the door. The character seemed to be written in Sunset Empire script, and the three of them did not recognize it.
Wattana sighed and nodded: "The word on the door is just a word for gambling. It is just a small casino and nothing at all. You are right. I don't know about other places. , most people in the Dark City are in a state of decadence, and most people work just to make more money so that they can have fun in the casino. We are not afraid of fighting at all. Who doesn't know that the Holy See will protect us. We are all the most loyal believers of God, and God will bless us.”
Yanli said disdainfully: "If God will bless you people, then he is too blind."
A trace of anger flashed in Wattana's eyes. He is a loyal believer in the God, but now he He was asking for help and did not dare to refute Yan Li's words, so he could only murmur: "Lord God, please forgive the ignorant people." He had a pious look on his face, as if God would really bless him.
Dumb said: "Uncle Wattana, please take us to the Magician's Guild first, so that I can get money to pay off your debt."
Wattana was about to agree, but was stopped by Rock. He winked at Yanli, and then pulled Ah-Dai aside. Ah-Dai said doubtfully: "Brother Rock, what are you doing? I have already promised to Uncle Wattana. , you must do it, don’t try to persuade me, I believe Uncle Wattana will not be a liar.”
The rock smiled slightly and said: “What are you in a hurry? I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you.” Help Wattana pay back the money, but the money cannot be paid by the Magician Guild. After all, it is to pay off gambling debts. Although you are trying to help others, it may still affect your reputation in the Magician Guild, which will be detrimental to the future. Yes. It’s better for us to solve this matter ourselves.”
A’Dai was stunned and said, “What, brother, do you still have money?”
Rock smiled mysteriously, pointed to the small casino, and said: "Although I don't have it, there is it there! Since it is the casino that has squeezed Wattana's family property, let the casino help him pay back the money."
A'Dai scratched his head. He didn't understand what the rock meant, and said doubtfully: "Brother, do you want me to gamble? Didn't you say gambling is harmful to people last night? How could we go?"< br>
Rock explained: "Gambling is indeed harmful to people, but if we can win steadily, we will naturally not suffer the harm, and maybe we can help those gamblers to vent their anger. Dumb, with your power of transformation , you should be able to control a lot of things. When the time comes, you just need to follow my command when you enter the casino, and I guarantee that you can win out all the debts that Wattana owes."
Duan still had full confidence in the rock, and nodded: "Okay, brother, I will listen to you."
The two of them walked back to Wattana. Wattana looked pale and lowered his head in silence. , Rock said: "Uncle Wattana, don't worry, we will definitely help you pay back the money, but you have to take us to that casino first. We want to see how this casino harms people."< br>
Watana waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, I won't go. It's a harmful place! I don't want to gamble anymore in my life."
Rock comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, we are not asking you to gamble, we just want to see how this casino harms people. When the time comes, you just need to tell us how to play those things." , pulled Wattana and winked at Yanli and Dui, and the four of them walked towards the casino.
Rock thought, since this Wattana was once a wealthy businessman, and the places he went to were all high-end casinos, and he would never patronize such small casinos on the edge of the city, so naturally he would not visit them here either. Someone knows him. As soon as they entered the door, they were immediately greeted by two attendants. As soon as they saw the magician costume on Ah-Dai, they immediately nodded and bowed and invited the four people in. As expected, no one noticed Wattana.
"Gentlemen, what do you want to play? I can help you introduce it."
Wattana, who had just said outside that he would never gamble again in the future, once he entered the casino, hearing the familiar shouts and the collision of various gambling equipment, his heart seemed to be boiling, and his eyes kept flashing. The glow of excitement. It was the first time for the three of them, Ah-Dai, to come to such a place, and they all felt a little at a loss. Rock said to the attendant: "You don't need to worry about us. Let's take a look first and then decide what to play." Although he told Ah-Dai before that he was sure of winning, it was actually just because he had full confidence in Ah-Dai's skills. I believe that no matter what kind of gambling there is the possibility of changing the outcome. Rock has always hated gambling, and he has heard many similar things like Wattana. His purpose is to bring down this casino. Turning to the excited Wattana, he asked: "Uncle Wattana, what is the fastest way to make money here?"
Watana said without hesitation: "Of course it's the roulette, that's it. Look at the big disk with the most people around it. There are a hundred squares on the disk, divided into two colors: black and white. There are corresponding numbers in each square. The big table next to it is for betting. Place. As long as you buy the chips and go there to press what you want, you will be fine. Generally, the people at the casino will win when the roulette wheel starts spinning. When a bead goes up, the bead will quickly rotate in the opposite direction of the roulette wheel. When the roulette wheel stops, the person who presses this color will win. However, because the probability of winning is high, the bead stays in the grid of whatever color. The odds are not very high, one pays one."
A-Dai asked: "Then why do you think this roulette is the fastest to win money?"
When it came to gambling, Wattana had already forgotten everything about himself, and acted like an old gambler, saying: "Of course I have my reasons for saying this. You can bet not only on black and white on the roulette wheel, but also on black and white." , you can also bet on points. Generally, casinos can press multiples of three, five, seven, nine, and ten. In other words, the number where the ball lands at the end is a multiple of three, and those who press a multiple of three will win. You can win three times your bet, and you can win five times if you press five, and so on. If you can press a multiple of ten, you will pay ten for one gold coin. This is not the highest payout. The highest rate can be as high as 25 to 1, that is to press the number, only press one number.”
Yan Yan nodded and said: "The odds are indeed very high. Dumb, give me the money that President Kari gave you, and I will change it for chips."
Yan Li was startled. He took the rock's hand and said: "Brother, what are you doing? Why did you really come here to gamble? That will be our living expenses in the future!"
Shi Yan smiled slightly and said: "Brother has his own purpose, don't worry. Ah-Dai, give it to me." Ah-Dai hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to trust Shi Yan and gave him the money bag. Rock was guided by Wattana, who was so excited that he forgot everything, to the casino chip exchange office. After a while, he came back. Behind him was a waiter who was carrying a large plate filled with purple chips. chips. Wattana was speechless and said: "So you are so rich. A purple chip can represent five gold coins!" When the surrounding gamblers saw the chips in the attendant's hands, they all looked at him in amazement, obviously looking at Ah-Dai. Several people regarded him as a big gambler.
A somewhat obscene and thin man approached the rock and whispered: "Uncle, since you have so much money, why do you come here to gamble? Come to our Jinfu Casino, our service there But it’s first-class, and there are beautiful girls to serve you. As long as you pay the starting price, we can satisfy you with whatever you want.” , just play here for a while, and if you win money, I will go to your place.”
"Okay, okay, then let me first wish you success." The thin man said flatteringly. After saying that, he quickly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Rock walked to Ah-Dai and whispered: "Let's go and play that roulette wheel." After that, he walked towards the roulette wheel first. Dui had no choice but to follow with Yanli.
Wattana clung to the rock excitedly. As soon as he arrived in front of the roulette wheel, the people next to him immediately moved out of the way, leaving a space at the roulette wheel. In this small casino, gambling is usually done in units of silver coins, and some civilians even carry dozens of copper coins to have fun. When they see a high roller like Rock, they will naturally move out of the way to take a look at the gambling method that spends a lot of money.
A-Dai and others gathered in front of the roulette wheel. The rock came close to A-Dai's ear and whispered: "Whatever I press later, you use your true energy to control the ball to fall there. However, don't let out the fighting spirit light. It's best to transfer fighting energy into the machine from the ground. "In fact, Rock can barely do it, but in order to be more sure, he let Dui do it.
The banker looked at the rare big gambler and thought, this time he must let these guys all lose. He shouted loudly: "It's about to bet! The bets are gone." The small gamblers on the side placed their bets one after another, but the rock did not move. He leaned into Ah-Dai's ear again and said: "You try it first, will The ball is controlled in the fifty-fifth grid, let’s see if it works.”
Ah-Dai nodded slightly. Seeing that they did not participate, the dealer couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, and ordered his men to start spinning the roulette wheel. The gamblers on the side kept shouting the numbers they had pressed, and the roulette wheel spun quickly. The dealer put a small wooden ball in, and the ball kept rolling gently on the roulette wheel. It was beating and making a loud sound.
Duan lowered his head, his body completely covered by the magician's cloak. He closed his eyes, activated the vital energy in his body, completely converged the light, and carefully penetrated into the roulette wheel with fighting energy. As soon as Dou Qi entered the bottom of the roulette wheel, he couldn't help being startled, because through the induction of the qi machine, he found that there was a person squatting inside the roulette machine. Although Duan didn't understand why there was someone there, he knew he couldn't let that person The man discovered his own fighting spirit, and carefully pushed the fighting spirit wire to penetrate into the roulette wheel through the wooden board next to it. At this time, the rotation of the roulette wheel had slowed down, and Ah-Dai used invisible fighting spirit to quietly control the beating wooden small The roulette wheel gradually stopped, but the ball was still beating. All the gamblers stared wide-eyed, waiting for the ball to settle. The ball rolled slowly, and finally, it jumped and rolled into the grid No. 55.
The dealer is a little strange. The signal he gave this time was clearly No. 63, why did it become No. 55? What did the guy below do? The method of cheating at roulette is very simple. There is a person in the wooden box under the roulette wheel. He can also see the roulette numbers from below. The dealer will give him a signal before the start of each round, and he will follow this signal. Place a magnet with strong suction under the iron roulette. After the roulette spins, the wooden ball with the iron core will naturally be attracted by the magnet. There is more than 80% chance that it will fall into the bottom. A grid with magnets. In order to have better control, people below usually put magnets in several different grids. In this way, the casino can be said to be a sure winner but not a loser.
A gambler suddenly screamed, "I hit, I hit, I hit a multiple of five, hurry up, lose money quickly, I hit a gold coin, haha, hahahaha."
Rock was also delighted. His judgment was indeed correct. Ah-Dai did have this ability. The dealer's expression remained unchanged. This small mistake was sometimes unavoidable. Five gold coins was nothing at all. After all, the majority of people lost. What he cared about most was this high-roller who exchanged thousands of gold coins. He took back the ball and ordered his men to compensate the winning gamblers. Looking at the rock, a professional smile appeared on his face, and he asked tentatively: "Master, don't you want to play with both hands?"
The rock said: "Of course you have to play when you come here, are you ready? I'm going to place a bet."
The banker was secretly happy and adjusted the roulette wheel. At this time, he had already lost all the money in the previous game, and he said loudly: "Okay, let's start betting. You will get more.”
The gamblers placed their chips in the places of their choice. Yan Yan took out two chips from the tray of the attendant behind him, placed them on the thirteenth position, and said: "I will bet on the only number."
The dealer cursed in his heart, this guy must be a fool, he actually bet on the only number. Even if I don't cheat, you can't win. "Okay, buy it and leave." His men stopped collecting bets, and the dealer turned the roulette wheel hard, glanced at the betting plate quickly, and quickly pointed out a few numbers to the people below with his right hand, and then put The wooden ball is placed in the roulette wheel.
Ah-Dai was concentrating on the rapidly rotating roulette wheel. He was not in a hurry to control the wooden ball. Premature control would not have any effect, but would arouse suspicion. The wooden ball kept beating. When the roulette wheel was about to stop, Duan's fighting spirit quietly wrapped around the wooden ball. When the wooden ball jumped to the thirteenth position, he accurately brought the wooden ball into the grid. among. How can the suction power of the magnet be compared to the energy of the Dou Qi wire? .
The dealer stared dumbfoundedly at the wooden ball that had indeed fallen into number 13, and murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible!" The gesture he made just now was to let the people below to place numbers 12 and 14 respectively. Put magnets in two places, so that the wooden ball is attracted by the magnets on both sides, and it is impossible to enter the grid No. 13, but it backfires, and the facts are before our eyes.
Wattana exclaimed and shouted loudly, "We have won, we have won the single number, hurry up, pay up quickly."
The dealer calmly ordered his men to pay out their chips. For Rock, two purple chips are ten gold coins, twenty-five times that is two hundred and fifty gold coins!
Shi Yan smiled slightly, everything was in his calculation. He took the tray from the attendant, handed all the chips to the dealer, and said lightly: "I put all my money on the thirty-sixth number."
The dealer's face changed. If such a big bet was really won, at an odds of twenty-five times, that would be a huge number! He turned his head and whispered something to his subordinates, and one of his subordinates quickly squeezed out of the crowd and left. When the surrounding gamblers saw such a huge bet, they all stopped and stared at the rocks and the dealer.
Rocky said to the banker: "Since no one else is placing bets, let's start."
Due to the two previous mistakes, the dealer had lost confidence. At this time, the person who left earlier had returned with a short and fat middle-aged man. The dealer glanced at the middle-aged man, who nodded slightly at him. The dealer said: "Okay, I'll buy it and leave." He turned the roulette wheel again. The short, fat middle-aged man's eyes were firmly locked on the rocks and the others, without relaxing at all. The wooden ball bounced on the roulette wheel again, and the rock looked at the beating wooden ball indifferently. The roulette wheel gradually slowed down, and under Dumb's control, the wooden ball accurately landed in the 36th space. The whole place was in an uproar, and the dealer was stunned. He knew clearly that this time there were magnets pulling at the ten spaces around No. 36, but in the end he was still pressed by the opponent, and his body was slightly moved. Trembling, twenty-five times one thousand two hundred and fifty gold coins is more than thirty thousand gold coins!
The short, fat middle-aged man walked up to the banker, his eyes flashed with coldness, he stared at the rock, and said coldly: "You will pay."
The banker agreed in fear. , using golden chips each symbolizing a hundred gold coins to compensate the rock. Yan Yan did not take back all the chips, but smiled and said: "It seems that I am lucky today, so I'll go all-in on No. 36." The dealer's whole body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground. The short and fat middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Brother, sometimes it is a good choice to stop in moderation. Don't let yourself be fooled by temporary greed." The threat in his words was already very obvious, and he could feel the strong smell of gunpowder around him. The gamblers who were watching did not dare to continue placing bets, and looked at the rocks and the short, fat middle-aged man quietly.
Rock sneered and said: "Why, do you still have restrictions on gamblers' betting in this casino? This is wrong. Here are 32,500 gold coins, can't I bet on it?"
Dwarf The fat middle-aged man knew that he had met a master today. If he was beaten by the opponent again this time, he would have to pay more than 800,000 gold coins, which was not what his small casino could afford. He said loudly: "Dear friends, our casino is temporarily closed due to some business today. Please come back another day." Dozens of strong men poured out of the casino, holding wooden sticks in their hands, and slowly gathered in this direction. When the gamblers saw that things were not going well, they all left. Most of them were small traders who were most afraid of getting into trouble. Everyone knew that those who could open a casino had strong backers.
Yu Yan grabbed the angry Yan Li, turned around and said to Wattana: "Uncle, wait for us outside the door." The pale Wattana seemed to be eager for him to say this, and hurriedly ran out. Duan looked at Rock, who still smiled and did not say a word. After a while, except for the three people of Dumb and Dumber, all the gamblers had left. The short, fat middle-aged man ordered his men to close the door. Dozens of thugs surrounded the three dumb people in the center. He looked at Dumb dressed as a magician and said coldly: "I'm afraid these three are not locals, but since they are here, they are guests. If you want, you can take the money you won and leave immediately. If you still want to continue gambling, If so, I will still accompany you." Although more than 30,000 gold coins is already a very large amount for him, he also understands that these people are not easy to deal with, especially when there is a magician on the other side. , although he is considered a figure in the east of the city, he cannot afford to offend the Magician's Guild.
Rock laughed and said: "Of course I want to bet, I have already placed the bet, so please start."
The short and fat middle-aged man said: "I am the boss here, others call me Uncle Fat, although One of you is a noble magician, but this is a dark city. If you don’t want to die, leave immediately.”
Rock snorted: “What if we don’t leave?”
The fat on Uncle Fat's face trembled slightly, his slender eyes narrowed, the fierce light kept flashing, and he said in a cold voice: "Then I have no choice but to send you on your way. Come on, kill that magic first Master."
Dozens of thugs rushed up immediately with a shout, more than ten of them came for Dumb. How could Ah-Dai see these weak thugs in his eyes? The real energy came out of his body, and the strong fighting spirit filled his body. The thugs rushed three feet in front of him and were immediately shocked and flew away. Neither Yan Yan nor Yan Li took out their weapons. They combined their fists and kicks to knock the thugs staggering around. None of the three of them made a move, but after a while, the thugs also fell to the ground. He kept moaning and lost the ability to fight.
The fat on Uncle Fat's face kept trembling, but he was not afraid. He looked at the menacing Rock Brothers and roared: "You dare to come to my place to cause trouble, aren't you afraid of death?"
There was a flash of black light, and Yan Li's big ax was placed on Uncle Fat's neck. He chuckled and said, "Looking for death? I think you are the one who will die first." Human blood and sweat, we won’t leave without some blood today. Well, how can you have a fortune of more than 100,000 gold coins in a casino of this size?”
The tomahawk oozed. The air-conditioning made Uncle Fat's fat face become extremely pale, and his voice was trembling: "You, what do you want? I, I am a relative of the city lord. Now get out of here. I can also plead with the city lord. Spare me, spare you a life." life.".
Seeing the stern appearance of the fat man, Ah-Dai frowned and said, "Brother Yan Yan, how should we deal with him."
Yan Yan smiled slightly and said, "None of these scum running a casino are good people. "It's not an exaggeration to kill him." Yan Li pressed the tomahawk down in cooperation, and Uncle Fei, who had always been pampered, immediately fell to the ground under the heavy pressure, and the sharp edge of the tomahawk had already scratched the wound on his neck. The arrogant casino owner was finally frightened by the stinging pain on his skin. "No, don't kill me. I surrender." For him, life is always more important than dignity.
The rock snorted coldly and said: "It's okay not to kill you, but you must dedicate all your family wealth to us."
Uncle Fat said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll give you fifty thousand gold coins. This is all I have."
The rock looked at the casino, which was three to four hundred square meters in size, and shook his head. He shook his head and said: "You have no sincerity at all! Fifty thousand? Do you think we are beggars? In this way, you give us one hundred thousand gold coins and we will leave immediately. However, your casino is not allowed to open in the future, otherwise , next time we see you, we will kill your head directly.”
Uncle Fatty cried: “You guys, you want my life! How can I have so much money!” ”
Shi Yan said: "For a casino of your size, I already want less than 100,000 gold coins. Hurry up and pay, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Uncle Fei said with a bitter face: "Although my income here is okay, most of it has to be handed over to the city lord. I don't have much left. Uncle, please let me go."
The look of Uncle Fatty's tears streaming down his face made Ah-Dai feel sad. He softened and said: "Brother, forget it."
Rock glanced at Ah-Dai, sighed in his heart, and said: "Ah-Dai, have you forgotten that Uncle Wattana was forced to commit suicide by vampires like them? The hundred thousand gold coins I asked him for is not much."
< br>Remembering how Wattana cried last night, Ah-Dai frowned and said nothing more.
Yan Li was already a little impatient. He knocked down the tomahawk in his hand, and there was a soft click. Uncle Fei's right arm was immediately fractured. The severe pain made Uncle Fei scream as if he was killing a pig. scream. Keep rolling on the ground. Yan Yan glared at Yan Li and said solemnly: "Money or life, you choose one."
The severe pain caused the fat on Uncle Fat's face to deform. He gritted his teeth and said, "I, I will give, I will give." As he spoke, he tremblingly reached into his arms and took out a trembling hand. card and handed it out. Shi Yan took the card and saw that there were many weird symbols on the black card, "What is this?"
Uncle Fei said: "This, this is a magic crystal card that is common across the country, and I am recorded on it. All my family property, which can be withdrawn from any bank, totaling more than one hundred and three thousand gold coins, is given to you, let me go."
This is the first time I have seen this thing, and I am a little confused. Looking back and forth, Ah-Dai came up to him, feeling the extremely weak magical energy on the card, and said: "This card is made of special metal, and has weak energy fluctuations. It should be real. Brother, let's Let's go." In fact, Ah-Dai wasn't sure whether the card was real, but the atmosphere in the casino made Ah-Dai feel very uncomfortable, especially the loud moaning, which made his kind heart full of contradictions. Even though he knew these were not good people, he still couldn't bear to see them in pain.
Rock nodded and said: "Okay, let's go. Uncle Fat, remember this before I see your casino reopen. Be careful of your pig head."
At this moment, the gate of the casino opened Suddenly it opened, and a group of soldiers in black light armor rushed in under the leadership of a general. Uncle Fei was overjoyed when he saw the visitor, "General Ma Rui, please save me! These bandits, they want to rob my property."
The general whom Uncle Fei called Ma Rui frowned He frowned, looked at the people lying on the ground, and shouted angrily: "Where did you come from? How dare you come to our dark city to run wild." His soldiers drew their weapons and quickly surrounded the three of them.
The three people in Dumb were shocked at the same time. Although these soldiers were not strong, they represented the army. If there was a conflict with them, it would inevitably affect their main purpose of coming here. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Dumb's heart, and he rushed to say: "Brother, we originally came here to gamble and have fun, but they cheated in this casino, so we asked them to compensate for the losses." As he said, Kicked the roulette wheel away, revealing the trembling casino employee hidden inside. .
