Night, winter night.
In the dark long alley, there is no one and there is only one light.
An old paper lantern hangs diagonally on the narrow door at the end of the long alley. Under the lantern, there is a shiny silver hook, just like a fishhook used by fishermen.
The silver hook kept swaying in the cold wind, and the wind seemed to be sighing. Why are there so many ignorant people in the world willing to be caught on this hook?
This is the Silver Hook Casino.
Zhao Mingyuan looked at the silver hook and sighed in his heart.
This gambling den uses silver hooks to catch gamblers. In fact, why don't the Rakshasa cards look like this hook?
Sometimes, people know that there is bait in front of them and they will die if they eat it, but they still can't help but rush forward one after another.
Desire, how many people can restrain it?
Zhao Mingyuan stepped into Silver Hook Casino.
This luxuriously furnished hall is full of warmth and joy, the aroma of wine is mixed with the aroma of fine powder, and the tapping of silver coins makes bursts of crisp and sweet sounds.
There is almost no music in the world that can compare.
Zhao Mingyuan also likes to hear this kind of sound, just like most other people in the world, he also likes luxury and enjoyment.
Silver Hook Gambling House is really a very luxurious place, always preparing all kinds of luxurious enjoyment for all kinds of luxurious people.
The most luxurious of them all is, of course, gambling.
In fact, Zhao Mingyuan didn't like gambling at first.
But recently, due to various reasons, I am always in and out of casinos.
In fact, in the Library Pavilion, he not only learned various martial arts, but also learned many miraculous techniques, and even practiced gambling.
Today, I listen to the sound of gambling and the squeaking of the dice around me.
Zhao Mingyuan also felt something strange in his heart.
Gambling itself is magical.
Some people like gambling because they like the feeling of fighting against fate, the urge to give it a try even though they know they cannot control it.
Some people hope to change their destiny.
Therefore, there are two types of gamblers, one is extremely poor and the other is extremely rich.
The poor want to change their destiny, and the rich want to control their destiny.
But gambling itself is a dangerous game.
Zhao Mingyuan originally didn't like gambling, but now he no longer rejects it.
Is it because he has mastered the power to change his destiny?
Before Zhao Mingyuan came to the gambling table, he did not choose any complicated gambling method, but chose the simplest method of rolling dice and guessing the size.
Although Zhao Mingyuan is now proficient in all kinds of gambling skills, he still likes this simple and quick method.
In fact, this simple form of gambling is enjoyed by many people.
Because, although this method of gambling is simple, it is faster and more exciting.
Unlike other forms of gambling, it takes a long time for gamblers to obtain sensory satisfaction.
Therefore, this simple way of gambling can be passed down for thousands of years and still endure.
The tinkling sound continued, and the cup came to a standstill after a round of shaking. The female croupier who was shaking the cup sang sweetly: "If you have something to bet on, you will leave the table if you don't have any."
Zhao Mingyuan took out a copper coin and pressed it on the leopard.
I saw Zhao Mingyuan walking over. The clothes he wore were extremely exquisite and slim. At first glance, they were made of fine materials and were carefully cut. He must have been a rich man.
Unexpectedly, he only paid a penny.
He was probably a rich man who was in dire straits. He was desperate and wanted to come here to make a comeback.
They have seen a lot of boys like this.
As soon as you get there, you will be on top of the leopard. You will go crazy thinking about money.
Everyone around him looked away, ignored Zhao Mingyuan, placed bets one after another, and shouted for the female dealer to open her cup.
The female dealer continued to ask several times, and when she saw that no one was placing bets, she opened the lid.
"Six six six, it's really a leopard."
However, this kid is lucky.
Beginners always have good luck, and that's normal.
No one was very surprised, which is also very common.
However, some people want to bet with Zhao Mingyuan next time to try their luck as a novice.
The odds for a leopard are ten to one.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan continued to put the ten cents he had just won on the leopard.
The person who originally wanted to take advantage of Zhao Mingyuan's luck quickly ran away.
It’s better to stay away from this kind of lunatic.
Unexpectedly, the next five rounds he fired were leopards every time.
Zhao Mingyuan also had 1,000 taels of silver in front of him.
Even the female dealer has been replaced by a sophisticated middle-aged man.
There were already circles of people surrounding him.
Many people who placed bets with Zhao Mingyuan have made a lot of money. When they saw that the casino was about to change dealers, they were all dissatisfied and shouted loudly.
But as the thugs in the gambling house maintained order, they dared not speak out.
The middle-aged dealer he replaced was known to many old gamblers. It is said that gambling skills are extremely powerful, and you can get as many points as you want.
The croupier simply shook it twice, then put it down and covered it. He asked people to place bets, but their eyes were only on Zhao Mingyuan.
However, Zhao Mingyuan still put all his money on the leopard.
Seeing this atmosphere, other people did not dare to follow.
The croupier waited for a moment and saw that no one was betting, so he shouted: "Buy it and leave."
Slowly opened the lid of the cup.
The croupier's expression suddenly changed, and he was still a leopard.
Maybe, obviously my own technique can guarantee that I can shake it as much as I want.
Originally, I should have shaken the smallest one, two, and three. How could it be a leopard?
The dealer was sweating profusely. It seemed that he had met a master this time.
This time, a loss of ten would already mean a loss of ten thousand taels of silver.
The next one will cost you one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If the gambling house loses one hundred thousand taels of silver, then Bluebeard will definitely let himself die without a burial place.
Seeing Zhao Mingyuan win again, the gamblers around him finally had greater confidence in Zhao Mingyuan.
Now Zhao Mingyuan is their god, the god of gambling.
Whatever Zhao Mingyuan stakes, they will follow.
Seeing that the croupier was reluctant to start betting.
But they got bolder and kept shouting, "Let's bet!" "Let's bet, take the bet!"
After all, there are not many such opportunities, and everyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
At this time, a woman came over.
She was wearing a fluttering green silk robe, as soft as skin against her slender and mature body.
Her skin was as delicate and smooth as white jade, even looking like ice, almost transparent.
There was no trace of makeup on her beautiful face, and her clear and bright eyes were the best decoration in any woman's dream.
Flowers explain language better than flowers, and produce fragrance better than jade.
She is probably Fang Yuxiang, the proprietress of Silver Hook Casino.
She came over Yingying and said softly to Zhao Mingyuan: "Sir, the air in this lobby is dirty and not suitable for a distinguished guest like him. Why not go to the private room at the back and I will play with him."
If they really followed, they might have to do something that was not convenient for them to do in public.
After all, no casino owner can tolerate others winning money in his casino.
Because all he wins is his money.
They would not let Zhao Mingyuan take the money away easily.
Whether it's setting up a trap to make Zhao Mingyuan lose everything, or directly doing it hard, killing people and silencing them.
In short, it is not suitable for other gamblers to see.
Even those gamblers can think of it, but as long as they don't see it, they will be lucky.
Aren’t all gamblers like this?
However, this was Zhao Mingyuan's purpose.
Let Feitian Jade Tiger and Blue Beard invite him in on their own initiative, which is better than Zhao Mingyuan trying to find them.
