Chapter 162 Gambling
"Brother Zhenbang, what is that place over there? It feels so lively inside!" Long Miaomiao asked, pointing to a large attic.
Li Zhenbang glanced at a dice-like sign hanging on the attic. There was a constant flow of people at the door, some happy, some depressed, and some were thrown out.
The two of them didn't get up early in the morning to hurry, but prepared to leave Qingfeng Town after having lunch.
"That should be a casino."
"The gambling house? Let's go in and have a look! I've never been in it before! It should be very interesting!" Long Miaomiao looked excited, but she had never really seen the gambling house.
Li Zhenbang curled his lips, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of a gambling house? A group of gamblers! You have to know that nine out of ten bets lose, and many people go bankrupt because of this, sell their children and daughters, and even... Sigh! Miaomiao, stop, are you listening to me!"
Li Zhenbang's eyes widened, and Long Miaomiao walked in when he was not prepared, so he hurriedly followed behind. He has never been in the gambling house, but he has heard a little about the way of the gambling house. It's not a good thing for a little girl to go in alone like this.
As soon as he entered the casino, Li Zhenbang hurriedly grabbed Long Miaomiao who was about to go inside, and whispered in her ear: "Let's go! This is not the place we should come to!"
Long Miaomiao shook her head, her face flushed slightly, she didn't know if it was because of shyness or excitement.
"Brother Zhenbang, let's take a look and leave, okay? This is the first time I've come here, and I promise I won't run around, can I stay by your side?" Long Miaomiao hugged Li Zhenbang's arm, gently Shaking, and the voice was delicate, Li Zhenbang shivered violently.
"Okay! Follow me. Where do you want to go, I'll take you there." Li Zhenbang reached out and held Long Miaomiao's hand tightly, for fear that she might make a mistake.
Long Miaomiao struggled a little, but seeing Li Zhenbang's serious face, as if he was facing an enemy, he gave up struggling and let Li Zhenbang hold it.
The two casually stopped by a table on the first floor. Li Zhenbang was actually very curious. He had only seen it on TV before, but now that he was there, he still felt a little excited.
A guy in blue short-sleeves held a wooden sieve cup, shook it vigorously for a few times, then put the sieve cup on the gaming table, and shouted loudly: "Bet big, bet small!" , Guess the points, buy it and let it go!"
All around the table shouted loudly,
Put several or even dozens of copper coins in the marked grid selected by yourself on the table.
Seeing that most people have chosen well, only a few people are still holding the copper coins in their hands and hesitating. In your favorite grid.
Seeing that most people have already made up their minds, the guy shouted "open!", and then raised the lid of the sieve pot high, and the three dice in the sieve pot were one, two, and two respectively.
The man shouted loudly: "One two two, five o'clock!"
Those who bet on the small, medium and five o'clock cheered, and those who didn't get in were dejected and helpless.
Li Zhenbang pouted, and took Long Miaomiao to change tables. But the first floor is obviously a place for those who don't have much money to play. You must know that one hundred copper coins is one silver coin, and the bets on one table and one game are only two or three silver coins at most. Li Zhenbang is very boring to watch.
Li Zhenbang couldn't help but think of those bigwigs in Hong Kong movies, stacks of chips, stud at every turn! Even in the ancient gambling house in the movie, it is always a handful of silver or a big ingot. If I lose here for a day, it is estimated that one hundred and eighty gold coins will be enough to support me.
"Miaomiao, let's go up and have a look!" Li Zhenbang dragged Miaomiao to the second floor. There was no one holding hands on the second floor, so the two went up easily.
The decoration here is obviously of a higher grade, and the gamblers dress more carefully, and some of them are dressed as mercenaries with mercenary badges.
The people on the table here are betting at least one silver coin. Li Zhenbang looked at it casually, and a table was only betting two or three gold coins at a time, which made him a little interested.
"Miaomiao, let's go! It's too boring, winning or losing is only a few gold coins." Li Zhenbang said softly.
Miaomiao looked at the sieve pot shaking non-stop, and listened to the hoarse shouts of the surrounding people, which was a bit interesting. He looked at Li Zhenbang pleadingly, hoping to watch for a while.
Although Li Zhenbang couldn't see Miaomiao's eyes, he could imagine that he shook his head helplessly, casually took out a handful of silver coins from the space bracelet, and handed them to her.
"Do you want to participate? Find a table to play!" Although Li Zhenbang is rich, he has no interest in gambling.
Long Miaomiao randomly found a table, carefully stared at the sieve cup, and placed bets according to his own feelings. Every time a silver coin was placed, the bet was to guess the size, so there were winners and losers, but in the end, more losers and less wins.
The people around were a little surprised to see the two children appearing here, but they returned to normal when they saw Long Miaomiao wearing a bamboo hat casually throwing the silver coins in his hand into the betting-sized grid. It is estimated that the children of some big family came here to have a good time when they were bored. This kind of situation is not unheard of.
Li Zhenbang tried to use mental power to check the points through the sieve cup. The ones on the first floor can easily see the points in the sieve cup. The second floor requires a little effort. It seems that there are some magic circles on the sieve cup that block the mental power. The level is not high, Li Zhenbang can still see clearly if he consumes more mental energy.
After a while, Long Miaomiao had already lost thirty or forty silver coins, equivalent to three or four gold coins, but Long Miaomiao didn't care at all, and guessed a few times at random, and collected the remaining silver coins into the space on his finger among the rings.
"Brother Zhenbang, it's so boring! How about we go up and have a look?" Long Miaomiao said with some expectation.
"Bored? I think you're having a good time!" Li Zhenbang teased.
"Tch, it's only been a few gold coins to win or lose for a long time. I really don't have any interest. I guess it should be more fun up there." Long Miaomiao's voice was mixed with excitement, and it didn't look like it was boring.
Li Zhenbang sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to hold Long Miaomiao's soft and boneless little hand, and continued to walk upstairs. But this time it didn't go so smoothly. At the stairs, two strong men wearing black short sleeves, with thick arms and scars on their faces blocked their way.
"I'm sorry, please show your identification." One of the strong men said politely. Summoner of the Divine Beast
