Although Gu Bei's personality is not lovable, he is indeed quite sincere - that is, he bluntly states all the shortcomings of the other party and refuses to use euphemistic expressions.
The philosophy that Gu Bei has always believed in is: simple bad breath, ultimate enjoyment.
The two chatted for a while, then walked through the corridor surrounded by girls.
One thing to say is that although Gu Bei is now considered a rich man, he has never enjoyed this kind of treatment because he has always felt that excessive occupation of resources is a wasteful behavior.
Many rich people think that since they have money, they can do whatever they want. Gu Bei thinks the same way, so he is not opposed to occupying resources, because in nature, the strong can occupy resources.
But excessive occupation is actually a waste.
For example.
The emperor in ancient China usually had three thousand beauties. This three thousand is just an illusion. In fact, even including the maids who served, it was less than one thousand, so it will be calculated as five hundred. Unless the emperor likes to engage in iparties, otherwise this Even if one of the five hundred emperors is blessed one night, it will take a year and a half. Even if the two of them travel together every night, it will take nearly a year.
It's no wonder that the ancient emperors all died young. With such a level of hard work, they have to be busy with government affairs every day. It would be strange if they didn't die from exhaustion.
What's more common is that the emperor only touched a dozen of these five hundred people until his death, and the rest were wasted.
But if these hundreds of people are released and allowed to get married and have children naturally, considering that these hundreds of people are all from wealthy aristocrats, and their children will also receive a good education, then how many pillars of the country will they be in the future? ?
Therefore, it is not without reason that feudal society hinders the progress of productive forces.
Gu Bei also thinks that waste is a bad behavior, so he never engages in such foolish things.
He likes things that are more practical.
However, it can be seen from this point that Vincent should be the opposite of Gu Bei - he likes to show off and be exaggerated.
Even though his ship was in serious financial overdraft, he did not fire these girls who were not used a few times throughout the year.
Gu Bei and Fingel walked along the corridor and finally stopped at the end of the corridor.
There is a door here.
A blue carved door.
The door was open, and there was a large gambling table in the elegant white and sea blue hall. The bookshelves next to it were filled with gambling equipment.
An old man wearing a white captain's uniform sat in the dealer's seat with his back bent.
The two walked into the small hall, and the door closed behind them. The girls did not follow. There were only three people in the small hall, Gu Bei, Fingel, and the old captain, looking at each other across a gambling table.
Gu Bei looked around the small hall.
Like the elevators and corridors, this place is also in line with the aesthetics of this mysterious captain, with a touch of art in the ultimate luxury.
Whether it's the gold-plated air clock next to the gaming table or the brass sextant, every decoration has a sense of age. Standing in this small hall, you feel like you've stepped back in time for half a century.
Of course, if we talk about the sense of age, the old captain opposite may be the one with the strongest sense of age in this room.
He was so thin that he almost lost his human shape. Because his spine was too curved, he was almost lying on the gambling table. The skin all over his body was loose, and his eyelids drooped almost covering his entire eyes, but the thin slits in his eyes revealed The eyes are still flexible.
His eyes glanced back and forth between Gu Bei and Fingel, his eyes so obscure that no one could guess what he was thinking.
"You are not ordinary people." This was the old man's first sentence.
His voice was low and hoarse, like cutting cowhide with a dull knife.
Gu Bei rudely sat down opposite the old man and responded with the same words: "You are not an ordinary person either."
The old man paused, and then said: "I have always heard that the people in Kassel are lunatics who only know how to slay dragons. They have no moral education at all. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it."
"No way, no way ~ uncle
, you are so old, this is not the first time you meet Kassel, right? "Gu Bei mocked in a strange way, and then sighed, "Then you are quite law-abiding."
That's right. Hybrids who don't abide by the law have long been killed by people sent by the Executive Department - this is the easiest way for wild hybrids to meet Cassel students, and it is also the highest risk.
Old man: "...Not only are you uneducated, but you are also rude."
"Polite? Can you eat it?" Gu Bei shrugged, "Okay, stop chatting, Vincent von Ludwig, German..."
Gu Bei was suddenly stunned and turned to look at Fingel: "Is this guy your relative?"
Fingel shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
Gu Bei was surprised: "There is "Feng" in the middle of his name! "
Fingel went crazy: "Not everyone whose middle name is "Feng" is my relative! And he's Argentinian! A German-Argentinian, he does not belong to the old aristocratic faction, so even if he adds "Von", no one will say anything! "
Gu Bei: "...Then can I call you Gu Fengbei?"
Fingel: "...You're looking for trouble, aren't you?"
"Yes." Gu Bei adheres to the style of acting where sincerity is the ultimate skill.
Vincent looked at the two people playing tricks across from him and became a little impatient: "Are you here to gamble or talk about cross talk? If you are talking about cross talk, you should go downstairs. There is a special performance hall there. You can stand there and talk about it all day long. Someone will stop you."
"No." Gu Bei shook his head, "We are looking for you to ask you a few questions."
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Without any words, Gu Bei just stated his purpose.
"If you want to ask a question, just go outside. There are many waiters there, and they are standing there waiting to answer questions."
Gu Bei spread his hands helplessly: "Negotiations failed...can I take action?"
The second part of his sentence was about Fingel.
Fingel slapped him on the forehead: "You didn't even think about negotiating!"
"No way~" Gu Bei said sincerely, "I clearly explained our purpose seriously."
"No one would give you an honest answer when you say that!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Vincent felt a little dizzy.
Why are these two people so unscrupulous here?
It seems like you are the owner here, right?
He patted the armrest of the chair and made a sound to attract their attention: "If you want to know anything, bet me first. This is the rule on the ship. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't let you get what you want." information."
"Actually, if you die, I can directly search for your soul..." Gu Bei beeped quietly, but Fingel stopped him: "Boss!"
"Okay, okay, I get it!" Gu Bei sighed, "Then just bet, it's really troublesome."
He clapped his hands.
Fingel stepped forward and placed the money box in front of Gu Bei.
"Oh my! This cash box is quite big!" Vincent smiled strangely, "Can it hold 2 million dollars? Kassel College is really the richest college in the world, as the legend says! But on my gambling table, the lower limit for betting is 100,000 knives! Your two boxes only have 5 million knives at most, so you won’t be able to play for long.”
Gu Bei grinned: "I need to correct you on two points."
"First, although Cassel is indeed the richest college in the world, it is almost bankrupt... No, this is not the point. The point is that the money is not prepared for us by the college, but we get it from you. I won it at the casino."
Vincent was stunned.
Every piece of information in this sentence was enough to make his brain shut down, so Gu Bei threw out three in one breath.
Gu Bei continued: "Second, if you think 5 million is too little, we can change the method of play."
Vincent raised his eyebrows: "How to play?"
Gu Bei
Opening the two cash boxes, he pushed the two full boxes onto the gambling table: "5 million, Stud."
"Study?" Vincent's face turned unusually red, and he didn't know whether it was excitement or anger. "Are you so confident in yourself?"
"It's just to save time." Gu Bei said with a smile, "Our bet here is 5 million, and you... I don't want your money. If you lose, you only need to answer one question. When will you If you can win the 5 million in my hand, the game will be over."
"Save time?" Vincent coughed and laughed, "Hahahahaha! I didn't expect the dragon slayers of Cassel Academy to be such gamblers! Interesting! So interesting!"
"No," Gu Bei shook his head, "If it can end quickly, I can still go to coax Eriyi to sleep on time tonight - oh, by the way, Eriyi is my girlfriend, she is very interested in life on the ship. She’s not used to it, she needs me to tell stories to coax her to sleep.”
As Gu Bei spoke, he did not forget to show off his affection, and finally said: "I heard that the captain's best gambling method is blackjack, so let's play blackjack, how about it?"
Located in the casino lobby on the sixth floor.
Soothing music played slowly, the chips made a crisp sound when they collided together, and the bartender vigorously shook the shaker glass in his hand, serving carefully prepared wine to the guests at the bar.
The guests who had drunk a little wine slowly started to get tipsy, and the guests who were becoming more gambling began to place big bets. The good time tonight has just begun...
Suddenly, half of the gaming tables turned on red lights - which meant that half of the gaming tables were temporarily sealed.
As a standard configuration of luxury casinos, there is a huge LCD screen behind each gaming table, which shows the winning and losing results of this gaming table.
But now all the screens display the same picture, which is a blackjack bet, with the bet placed by both parties at this moment marked next to it, "$5,000,000."
5 million dollars.
There was dead silence in the hall, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Everyone was stunned in front of the big number who had to count zeros for a long time. Except for a few old gamblers, only the waiters understood what was happening. Someone's hand holding the tray trembled, and the crystal vessels in the tray Colliding with each other and clanging.
At this time, a young man's voice suddenly sounded on the screen: "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that I still have this on me."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a slender hand appeared on the screen, and the thing held in that hand made everyone feel suffocated.
It was a golden ball that was larger than a human head. It looked heavy and heavy.
The young man asked: "This can also be used as gambling capital, right?"
A voice with a thick accent asked, "Where did you get this thing from?"
The young man's voice was frivolous: "Don't worry about these details."
The man with a thick accent asked: "If you have this thing, why didn't you take it out in the first place!?"
The young man was a little innocent: "I forgot, I picked it up originally, so I just kept it, but I suddenly remembered..."
"Keep playing...you keep this thing with you!?" The man's voice with a thick accent sounded a little unbelievable. In fact, not only him, but everyone sitting in front of the screen also found it unbelievable.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Judging from the size of this golden ball, it weighs at least fifty kilograms. Can this thing be carried with me?
"Also, you just said you picked this thing up?" The man with a thick accent asked, "Where did you pick it up? Tell me, and I'll pick it up too."
"When I ransacked the Chen family's house before..."
"Forget it."
The two people's words to each other aroused everyone's interest, and the golden ball was rolled to the other side of the gambling table.
A wrinkled hand stopped the rolling golden ball and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay."
The number "$5,000,000" started to scroll, and soon it became "$10,000,000"
10 million dollars.
At the same time, the other half of the gaming tables in the casino also had red lights on and were sealed.
"One hundred at a time! Someone brought a hundred gaming tables to play with!"
exclaimed an old gambler.
Then the hall seemed to explode.
Those who understood started to talk freely, while those who did not understand tried their best to squeeze in around the knowledgeable people to inquire. After understanding, they exclaimed and explained to those who did not understand the situation.
This legendary gambling game spread like a plague among the people.
Similar things have happened in Las Vegas, Macau, and Monte Carlo, but even in those super casinos, this kind of thing is big news that makes the headlines in the newspapers.
The YAAL is considered super luxurious among gambling ships, but its size is less than 1% compared to those of super casinos. It is hard to believe that such a big event would happen on a ship.
Even in countries where gambling is legal, there is a limit on how much money can be played on each table, and any amount above that is illegal.
But there are always some mysterious wealthy Arab businessmen. This group of people only find excitement when they gamble tens of millions of dollars - just like they buy arms from a rabbit, they think the more expensive the better. , so I was stunned to buy 200 million out of 100 million in arms.
In order to deal with this type of customers, casinos invented the "drag" model to circumvent the legal limit on the amount of money.
They sealed up the entire casino and dispersed the gambling money to each gaming table for calculation. In this way, judging from the winning and losing of each gaming table, the upper limit was not exceeded. However, if a hundred tables were "pushed", the total would actually be multiplied by 100.
At this moment, the young man who casually took out a golden ball was equivalent to occupying all the gambling tables on the YAAL and betting against the banker.
In other words... he is betting against this ship!
