Nearly an hour had passed since Lu Jing entered the house. The gambler who had been trying to adjust his breath to restore his internal strength suddenly said, "This opportunity is rare, how about we take a gamble!"
Everyone knew that he was probably addicted to gambling again, but before anyone could start laughing, the gambler said again.
"Don't talk about things that are available or not. It's human nature to gamble. Don't you have this idea in your mind right now, and aren't you curious about when he will come out? Since everyone is curious, it's better to just take a gamble."
"How to bet?" After a moment, someone finally said, "Can you bet that he can stay in the house longer than Mr. Bamboo Stick?"
The gambler shook his head, "Although it's not impossible to gamble like this, it's a bit unenjoyable. You can only place bets on both sides. If you win, you have to share the money with others. After all the effort, even if you win the bet, you may not get much. money."
"Then how can I have fun gambling?"
"It's very simple. Each of us tells a time. Whoever tells the closest time at that time will be the final winner. The winner takes all."
This gambling method is indeed very enjoyable, but the risk of losing is a bit too high.
But the reason why the gambler became one of the three plague gods in Jinghu Valley lies in his precise grasp of the gambler's psychology. Those who are entangled by him will find it difficult to refuse in the end.
Moreover, this guy's gambling skills are also very good, he never gambles away, and he always loses and wins. Although he wins a little more than he loses, he still wins purely based on his gambling skills, which makes people speechless.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, the gambler immediately added, "There is no need to play too big this time. The important thing is to participate. The bet is...two white shells per person."
White shellfish is a kind of shell whose whole body is as crystal clear as snow, without a trace of impurities.
It is considered a specialty of Jinghu Valley. It can only be found by chance by the lake, and only fourteen of them can be picked up every year. Until now, many people in Jinghu Valley don’t know what these small white stones have besides being beautiful. effect.
But because its output is stable enough and its quantity is not large, it gradually becomes a special currency in the valley.
However, the appearance of Baibei is not to replace gold and silver, and what it buys and sells is not ordinary daily necessities, but - exquisite arts.
The origins of the paper figures in Jinghu Valley are diverse, some are good and some are evil, and their reasons for hiding from the world are also all kinds of strange. However, those who can be recruited into Jinghu Valley by the successive young eunuchs of Si Tianjian must be those with extraordinary skills.
When these people were still alive, most of them were very precious about their own abilities and would not easily teach them to others. But when their time comes, their original ideas are likely to change.
Either he couldn't bear to lose his unique skills, or he wanted to leave some trace of his existence in this world before he died... In short, he started to find a successor.
It's just that there are always very few young people like the girl in green shirt in Jinghu Valley. Even if there are, they may not be interested in other people's skills. After all, even if they learn some skills in Jinghu Valley, there doesn't seem to be much room for them to be used. .
Some people were lucky enough to find successors among the academy disciples, but some people could not find a suitable candidate until they were about to die, so they could only write down their unique skills and give them to the young marquis who was in office at the time.
As for how to deal with these unique skills, the young princes actually have some difficulties. After all, the masters of these unique skills hope that their skills can be passed down when they die, but as the skills accumulate more and more, they are gone one by one. Finding a successor is simply unrealistic.
But it seemed a bit too wasteful to just put them all at the bottom of the box, so a certain young prince who had done money bank business simply slapped his head and made a deal of exchanging the white shells for exquisite arts.
Everyone is encouraged to use the white shells they have on hand to come to him in exchange for unique skills.
However, his trading method was quite unique. In order to prevent some unpopular arts from being ignored, he numbered all the arts and then threw the wooden tag with the number into a large wooden box.
Anyone who wants to change his skills comes to him with ten white shells, then reaches out and grabs a wooden sign from the wooden box. Whatever he catches is that.
Because this process sounded quite interesting, it gradually turned into a very popular entertainment activity in Jinghu Valley. What the young marquis didn't expect was that everyone was trying to master special skills, and it wasn't necessarily for practicing for themselves.
Many people just want to see their luck, and they will be ecstatic if they catch a powerful trick, while the weaker ones will shake their heads and sigh, and in addition, they will compare themselves with each other.
But no matter what, Jue Yi finally became popular, and everyone began to collect Bai Bei Lai, which no one usually paid much attention to.
As a result, these white clams now have value, and they were once so popular that it was hard to find them in Jinghu Valley for a long time.
But after all, this thing is different from gold and silver, and everyone's valuation of it is also very biased.
Gamblers took advantage of this and chose it for bets.
The two white shells are basically available to everyone present. If you don't care about the art, you will naturally be willing to use them to join in the fun. But if you care about these two white shells, there is also a high probability that you will. grit your teeth and participate.
Because things like white shells have their own special characteristics. Only ten of them can be used to exchange for unique skills. Just holding two in your hand is useless. Instead, it is better to get a handful of white shells in exchange for more white shells.
So in the end, out of the seventeen people present, fourteen of them participated in the bet.
Most of them bet on within an hour, because the previous Mr. Bamboo Stick also lasted almost the same time. Although he modestly said that he was just a useless person, his martial arts level was still first-class after all.
It is true that Lu Jing is a master on the Tianji Ranking, but he is still young after all. It is not easy to become a first-class player at such a young age. However, he must have just joined the first-class class not long ago. He really has deep internal strength. He is probably not as good as Mr. Bamboo Stick. .
Now the hour is coming, and he should be able to go out at any time.
However, some people think that Lu Jing should have stayed in the house longer than Mr. Zhuzhang. Their reason is simple, because Mr. Zhuzhang has suffered internal injuries, and it seems that only one hour is left. From a purely probability perspective, It is said that there is a high chance that Lu Jing can survive for an hour.
However, no matter which one of these two waves, the betting time basically fluctuates around an hour, and some people even go as far as to determine the interest rate in order to distinguish themselves from others.
The gambler was the last one to place his bet, but he ended up betting on an hour and a half.
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, and they all felt that he might not be crazy.
Because an hour and a half means that the gambler thinks that Lu Jing's internal strength is not only stronger than Mr. Zhuzhang, but also 50% stronger. This is too outrageous.
However, the gambler didn't explain anything. He just shouted, "I'm willing to accept defeat if I buy it and leave!"
As a result, before his voice could finish, he heard another voice saying, "Take me with you in this bet."
The person who spoke was actually Mr. Bamboo Stick, who had never spoken much before.
