Chapter 7 Gambling

The restaurant was very quiet, no one knew what this man was doing here looking for that man named Zhang Tie, so everyone was watching without speaking.

Amidst a lot of strange eyes, Zhang Tie stood up calmly and walked towards the young man. When Zhang Tie stood up, the young man's sharp eyes were fixed on Zhang Tie's face. When Tie Ke looked at him without any timidity, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Tie walked up to the young man and obediently called out, "Cousin!"

"Okay, very good!" The young man nodded, and put a hand on Zhang Tie's shoulder unceremoniously, "Go, let's go out and talk!"

Two people came outside the restaurant.

"I received a letter from my family today, and only then did I know that you have also come to Qianlongtang. How is it? Are you still used to life here?"

"It's okay, I went to Iron Stone Beach to fish for aquamarine iron ore today, and I earned five silver coins!" Zhang Tie rubbed his nose.

"Don't underestimate this task, practice your water skills well. When you arrive at Lingtian Courtyard, you will find that there are more places to spend money. For newcomers, one gold coin a day is not so easy to earn. There will be many more opportunities to make money after the Heavenly Court!"

"Is there any task to salvage anything in Lingtian Courtyard?" Zhang Tie asked curiously.

"When you arrive at Lingtian Courtyard, there is no mandatory task of earning money, but there will be some fixed tasks of obtaining family contribution points. At that time, if you want to make money, you will have to rely on your own ability. There are many things in the sea that can make money It is a place, but it requires a person's water skills, so if you practice your water skills well now, you will not be in a hurry in the future!" Zhang Tie's cousin seriously warned.

"Thank you cousin, I see!"

"You and I are brothers, don't be so polite!" Zhang Tie's cousin smiled, "By the way, what kind of fighting spirit are you cultivating? When you reach level six, I will personally take you to the island dragon cave for a cohesive battle." gas!"

"I'm cultivating Iron-Blood Battle Qi!"

"What?" Zhang Tie's answer shocked his cousin a little, "Okay, if you have ambition, even in Qianlongtang, there are very few people who can cultivate the iron-blooded fighting spirit in the past few decades, but this school It is extremely difficult to cultivate battle qi to be successful. You'd better set a time for yourself. If you can't practice within two years, you'd better change to another kind of battle qi. You will have the opportunity to practice high-level battle qi later. That's it! Otherwise, it will take too long at the sixth level, which will not be good for your future development!"

Sensing the kindness of this cousin, Zhang Tie nodded, and did not show off that he had hardly encountered any barriers in practicing Iron-Blood Fist, but accepted the suggestion humbly, "Got it!"

Zhang Tie's cousin continued, "In the Qianlong Hall, there are steps to reach the sky and many opportunities to change your destiny, but these things are prepared for the real strong who can make their mark in the Qianlong Hall. Opportunities can only be won by yourself, and no one can help you. In a family, within a generation, like you and me, there are not many brothers who can enter Qianlongtang at the same time, which means that the family blood is excellent. , is very eye-catching, and the relationship between you and me cannot be kept secret here, so you will receive more attention here. In Lingtian Courtyard, I have an opponent who is also a cousin who entered the Qianlong Hall together. These two people have been dealt with severely by me before, you don’t have to worry about it now in Zhixingyuan, they can’t do anything to you, but when you enter Lingtianyuan, they may come to trouble you, you have to There is a mental preparation."

Zhang Tie was a little stunned, "Do they still dare to harm me?"

"It's not like,

But they can take advantage of certain rules in Lingtian Courtyard to beat you upright and often into a pig's head! "

"Ah..." Zhang Tie was a little dumbfounded. Does this mean that he has been "lighted" by this cousin?

Seeing Zhang Tie's eyes, Zhang Tie's cousin smiled a little embarrassedly, "When the two brothers came to Qianlongtang, they were also very eye-catching, and their attitude was a bit arrogant. I am not used to it, so I just used the rules in Lingtian Courtyard to beat those two people into pig heads. At that time, I didn’t expect that someone from my family could enter the Qianlong Hall, so..."

Zhang Tie understood, because this cousin used to beat people into pig's heads, but now it was his turn to be beaten into pig's heads.

He was talking here, but Zhang Tie had already seen two people walking into Zhixingyuan. One of them was eighteen or nineteen years old, and the other was about the same age as his cousin. Both of them had somewhat similar faces. Zhixingyuan, those two people walked straight to their side.

"Zhang Su, I heard that you have a brother who entered Zhixingyuan, is this the one in front of you?"

The four eyes of the two people walking over were fixed on Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie's cousin, Zhang Su, turned his head and looked at the two people who walked over with disdainful eyes, "This is my brother Zhang Tie, why, do you want to see the person who will beat you up again in the future? What does it look like?"

Zhang Tie found that his cousin's mouth was indeed maddening enough, even if he was in a disadvantaged position, that mouth was still unforgiving.

The smiles on the faces of those two guys froze all of a sudden, and their faces flushed with anger at Zhang Tie's cousin's words.

"Don't worry, after your brother Zhang Tie enters Lingtian Courtyard, we will 'guidance' him well!" The eighteen or nineteen-year-old said through gritted teeth.

"I forgot to tell you, my brother is practicing iron-blooded fighting spirit, so don't be timid when the time comes!" Zhang Tie's cousin still said proudly.

"Ha..." The man who was about the same age as his cousin looked at Zhang Tie contemptuously as if hearing a joke, "Do you want to use this to delay time in the Zhixing Academy? This trick is too low, right? Is this interesting?"

"If you can't do it, it doesn't mean others can't do it. Besides, how can you know if you don't try!" Zhang Tie's cousin said flatly.

"Hahahaha... It seems that you have great confidence in your brother!" The man who was about the same age as Zhang Tie's cousin smiled and rolled his eyes, "Then Zhang Su, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

"Just bet on whether your brother can become iron-blooded fighting spirit!"

Zhang Su hesitated for a moment...

"Why, don't you dare? Are you just talking about your confidence in your brother? Or is it really true that your brother just wants to use this to delay time in the Zhixingyuan?" The man further irritated. "I'll offer 300 gold coins to bet that your brother won't be able to develop iron-blooded fighting spirit. How about it? Do you dare to offer 300 gold coins to bet that your brother will definitely be able to train iron-blooded fighting spirit?"

"300 gold coins?" Zhang Su frowned slightly as he looked at the two people. This number is not a small number outside Qianlong Island, but it is not a small number for those who enter Qianlong Hall. It is not easy to earn this money on Qianlong Island, even in Lingtianyuan , Many people may not be able to earn so much money in half a year, and the gold coins he can get out of his whole body are only a little over 200. He knows that this is the trick that the guy on the other side caught him by grabbing him. Put him in a dilemma.

"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot, how can I take advantage of you when it's so difficult to train iron-blooded fighting spirit? It seems that you don't have so much money. If you have confidence in your brother, I will let you go." , as long as you can pay 200... No, you can only pay 100 gold coins, and the bet is established, one pays three, what do you think?" The man pretended to say.

"300 gold coins is 300 gold coins. When Zhang Su needs someone else to give it up, I'll bet it!" Zhang Su raised his head proudly. It's okay to lose, but you can't lose. This is Zhang Su's belief.

"Okay, then how long do you say you will give this brother to you?"

"Two years, before we leave Qianlongtang, if he can't develop iron-blooded fighting spirit, I will lose!"

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Zhang Su and that person high-fived each other and made a bet.

Seeing that the bet was signed, the two of them glanced at Zhang Tie, smiled contemptuously, and were about to leave.

"Don't go, just wait!" Zhang Tie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Those two people turned their heads and looked at Zhang Tie.

"I want to participate in this bet, and I will bet with you too, I bet that I will be able to become iron-blooded fighting spirit!"

"What are you betting with us?" The man looked Zhang Tie from head to toe.

"I'll bet you 300 gold coins too!" Zhang Tie said calmly.

"Hahahaha, on Qianlong Island, do you have so much money as a newcomer? Don't lose at that time and go home and cry and ask your parents for money. The rules in Qianlongtang, every penny spent here Money, even if it is a bet, must be earned by yourself. How much money do you earn now, do you dare to bet 300 gold coins with us? This bet is not accepted on credit!" The man continued to look at Zhang Tie contemptuously, "Young man , It's easy to speak big words, but you have to see if you have the strength. Do you want to tell me that if you lose, you are going to salvage 300 tons of aquamarine iron ore to make a bet for me? Ha... ha... ha... "

"That's exactly what I think! I bet you that if I lose, I'll salvage 300 tons of sea blue iron ore for you. If I don't complete this bet, I won't step out of Qianlong Island in this life." Zhang Tie Said lightly.

The man's laughter stopped abruptly. At this moment, the six eyes of the three of them were all fixed on Zhang Tie. Even Zhang Tie's cousin Zhang Su looked at Zhang Tie seriously, as if he had known Zhang Tie again.

"Do you have the guts to accept my bet!" Zhang Tie looked at the man.

"Joke, I have nothing to dare, but if you lose, I don't have the time to wait for you to salvage aquamarine iron ore for ten or eight silver coins every day to pay off the debt. When that time comes, the money you salvage every day The money earned from ordering aquamarine iron ore is not even enough to pay the daily interest of 300 gold coins. If you salvage aquamarine iron ore on the island for 20 years, do I have to wait for you on the island for 20 years? ? If you don't know what to do all your life, who can I ask for it? If you want to gamble, of course it's real money. Do you think it is easy to earn 300 gold coins on Qianlong Island?" the man said with a sneer.

Zhang Tie didn't expect this guy to be so shrewd, "Then what do you want?"

"It's very simple. Since you want to play, it will only count when you see the money you put out. Before you reach level six and try to gather your fighting spirit, I will follow how much money you can make by salvaging aquamarine iron ore. ..."

"Well, then it's settled,"

"Zhang Tie..." Zhang Su wanted to stop Zhang Tie.

"Cousin, you dare to bet 300 gold coins for me. Don't I dare to bet this amount on myself? If I lose, I lose. It's nothing special. I just want to get some more sea blue Iron ore, you should practice water and exercise your body. Today, when I met my cousin for the first time, I gambled with him. We played father and son soldiers, and brothers who fought tigers. We lost and won together. It's like being a companion with my cousin!"

"Okay!" Zhang Tie's cousin's eyes flashed brightly, and he applauded loudly. He didn't expect his cousin to have such vigor and courage. It's interesting to be a brother with such a character.

"Hey... Hey, let you two brothers lose everything together this time!" That one clapped his hands, agreeing to Zhang Tie's request to participate in the bet.

"Everyone knows that iron-blooded combat is difficult to train. The odds between you and my cousin are not fair. My cousin was run on by you so that he was betting one-on-one with you. Me, I have a small face and a small face, so I don't think so." I'm very particular, but I'm not a person who likes to lose money. The two of us bet according to the odds of one to three you just said. If I win, you will pay me three times the bet. How about it? Zhang Tie smiled, and dug a big hole for that person all at once.

That person didn't expect that Zhang Tie was also a shrewd person, and he didn't take any losses at all. However, three times... That person's mind was flying around. In this way, after a comprehensive calculation, he, Zhang Tie and Zhang Su were in this gambling game. The overall odds are one to two. The opponent wants to practice iron-blooded fighting spirit, which is notoriously difficult to practice. Even in Qianlongtang, it seems that no one has been able to practice it in these years. With this odds, In fact, I have taken advantage of it. If it were someone else, it would be absolutely impossible to bet with myself like this. But this kid is too calm, there seems to be something wrong...

"Why, don't you dare? Except for the royal family of the Norman Empire, in the Weiyi subcontinent, the proportion of other people who can cultivate the iron-blooded fighting spirit is less than one in ten thousand. The original odds of such a bet At least one thousand to one is fair. Our odds are three to one. For the sake of everyone entering the Qianlong Hall, I have already given you more than 300 times the odds. Do you want me to pay more? Let you a little more, then let you 400 times, even if I am new to Qianlongtang, even if I am not yet level 6, even if I don’t have much money, but I still have the attitude of respecting the old and loving the young Yes, do you want to let you go a little more? How about letting you go 500 times?" Zhang Tie looked at the man contemptuously, and treated him in his own way, and with the same few words, he ran the man away. If he could not step down, he immediately gained the upper hand in terms of momentum. Dealing with this kind of person was like dealing with Samira. Zhang Tieke would never be polite to them.

The man gritted his teeth, okay, "One pays three, one pays three, I want to see how much aquamarine iron ore you can salvage!"

After the same high-five with Zhang Tie, the two left. After walking a few steps, the man turned his head and sneered, "It's not easy to cultivate iron-blooded fighting spirit. Don't change your big words today." It will be a good joke after Cheng Qianlongtang!"

After those two people left, Zhang Su patted Zhang Tie on the shoulder, "Good job! Just do your best, show a manly spirit, and don't care about other things. Even if we lose this kind of bet, It's not shameful! I can still afford the hundreds of gold coins, and you also regard this gambling game as a rare test, even if our brothers lose this time, we can't lose anyone!"

Although what Zhang Su said to Zhang Tie was also encouraging, he didn't seem to have much confidence in whether Zhang Tie could develop into an iron-blooded fighting spirit. It is very difficult to complete any of these two things, the iron-blooded fighting spirit that has been cultivated. Zhang Tie now has no way out.

"Cousin, don't worry, we will definitely win." Zhang Tie smiled. "Now I'm worried that that guy won't be able to come up with gold coins for compensation if he loses!"

"That guy's name is Zhang Haige. He's one of the best at making money in Lingtian Courtyard. He has a net worth of less than two thousand gold coins. He's famous for being an iron cock. !"

"That's good!"

"And based on what I know about that guy, he must think that he has won, and he will definitely publicize the bet between our brothers and their brothers in the Qianlong Hall, so that when we lose I can't deny it!"

"Hehe, this time I will let him understand what it means to lift a rock to shoot himself in the foot..."

After chatting with Zhang Tie for a few words, Zhang Tie's cousin also left.

When they returned to the restaurant, Wei Wu and the others were very curious about the identity of the person who came looking for Zhang Tie just now.

"That person is my cousin!" Zhang Tie briefly introduced Zhang Su's identity, but didn't mention the gambling.

Sure enough, when they heard that two people from Zhang Tie's family were able to enter the Qianlong Hall, several people sitting with Zhang Tie were very surprised, and there was a trace of curiosity in their eyes looking at Zhang Tie.

After dinner, the girls in the Zhixing Academy set up small stalls in the pavilion in the courtyard. On the stalls were pairs of beautiful seashells. Among the seashells were seashell oil made by the girls. On the face and body, it can prevent sunburn, and it can also play a certain role in the recovery of the skin after sunburn.

The shellfish oil made by the girls was a box of silver coins. A lot of boys surrounded the girls' stalls. They didn't know whether they wanted to buy something or take the opportunity to get close to the girls. Even Zhang Keliang and Wei Wu joined in the fun.

After glancing at the sky and touching the five silver coins in his pocket, Zhang Tie left Zhixingyuan.

"Zhang Tie..." Zhang Yunfei saw Zhang Tie's back and quickly called out, "The sea shell oil here is pretty good, would you like a box?"

"No, this thing is useless to me. It's a waste of money to buy it. I'll go to the pier!" Zhang Tie shook his hand and left, joking, does his primary recovery body still need to be rubbed with seashell oil? The problem of hurting the skin can be cured after a night of rest. With this little money, it is better to buy a bunch of live seashells and throw them into the sea to see what fruits will grow.

When Zhang Tie left, several girls selling seashell oil glared at his back one by one. This bastard, whether he can talk or not, is really annoying!

Zhang Tie didn't know that just because of his unintentional truth, he had been blacklisted by the girls.

After leaving Qianlongtang, Zhang Tie started running when he thought of the pier on Qianlong Island...

If he made a bet, he would naturally win, and his future expenses on Qianlong Island would fall on this bet.

In the breeze, Zhang Tie felt a little sinister...

Who told that bastard to be so annoying! (To be continued [This text is provided by the dawn update group x-on:为HI生生]. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
