Chapter 633: New Moon
Qi Xia walked up to the ground monkey and knocked on the counter.
At this time, the ground monkey seemed to have heard something and slowly opened his cloudy eyes.
"Fuck, welcome, two "Tao"s are placed here and you can start gambling..."
His words seemed to move earlier than his body. Before he fully woke up, the welcome words had already reached the ears of several people.
Qi Xia threw the two "Tao"s on the table after hearing this, and then said: "Not only can we start gambling, you can also start gambling."
"Hmm...?" The ground monkey opened his eyes and rubbed them with his hands. He looked at the two "Tao"s on the table, as if thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
"Take the ticket, let's start." Qi Xia said.
Hearing this voice, the ground monkey slowly raised his head and happened to meet Qi Xia's eyes.
Then there was a silence of more than ten seconds.
This silence came just right. I don't know if the ground monkey was sleepy or there was something else hidden. He just didn't speak for a long time.
"I also... start gambling?" He stared at Qi Xia for a long time before finally spitting out four words.
"Why, you're not convenient?" Qi Xia asked with a frown.
"Ha...hahaha..."
The ground monkey suddenly showed an ugly smile, Qi Xia always felt that this smile was somewhat similar to the first time he met Chen Junnan.
"Of course you can start gambling..." The ground monkey slowly stood up, then shook his head helplessly.
He walked past several people and came directly to the door of the venue, stretched out his hand and closed the door directly.
"The shop has a distinguished guest today, the shop is closed for gambling." He turned around and looked at the six people standing in the house again, "Do you men, women, old and young want to gamble with me?"
"What men, women, old and young." Qi Xia said calmly, "Do you think the people standing here are weak?"
"Whether a team is weak or not mainly depends on whether the "leader" is strong. "The ground monkey also smiled, "I fully believe in the strength of this team."
The ground monkey's words were full of meaning, Qi Xia naturally heard it.
But now it is difficult to define what this person has to do with himself or with "Tianlong".
When Qinglong gave the map, he clearly expressed that he hoped to meet these eight "zodiac signs", but he didn't expect that the first "zodiac sign" looked like he had some connection with himself.
"Leader..." Qi Xia nodded, "Interesting, shall we start?"
"Then I have to choose the gambling project carefully... Hehe." The ground monkey kept staring at Qi Xia, his eyes were extremely deep.
"You choose?" Qi Xia asked back, "This is your venue, and you use your equipment, but you still need to choose the "gambling project", isn't it a bit unfair?"
"You can't say that..." The ground monkey smiled, "All of you are a team, I find it hard to believe that you don't plan to cheat, I'm one against six, no matter what, I'm the weaker party, so I have to choose the project myself."
Qi Xia slowly frowned after hearing this.
"You should also know that the key to the outcome of a gambling game is the "project", right?" The ground monkey slowly walked to the table again, then lowered his head and searched for something, "The most important thing in gambling... is clearly the "people". "
After a while, he took out a wooden box from under the table.
This exquisite wooden box was out of tune with the dirty environment of the entire venue.
It was square, brown and black, with clear wood grain. Each corner was inlaid with shining gold lines, and the top of the box was carved with dark patterns of the sun, moon and stars, and in the center, regular script was engraved with gold stamping.
The book said "New Moon and Full Moon".
The surface of the wooden box was spotless, and it seemed to be wiped every day. However, the monkey still reached out and gently wiped the surface of the wooden box, and then opened the wooden box in front of everyone.
The moment the wooden box was opened, a faint wood fragrance floated out. Everyone came forward to take a look. The inside of the wooden box was covered with soft velvet, and inside lay a stack of cards with the back facing up. The back of the cards had the words "Nuwa Game" written on them.
"For many years, I have been looking forward to someone betting with me on "New Moon and Full Moon". "The ground monkey looked at the wooden box with a dazed expression, "It's a pity that no one can do it. I haven't seen any gambler who can make me take out this deck of cards. Those who have gambling skills have no knowledge, and those who have knowledge have no courage. "
"Really?" Qi Xia asked ambiguously, "There are tens of thousands of people in this city, and you don't have any one you like?"
"This city...?" The ground monkey laughed, "I was assigned from "Wocheng" to "Jade City", and then from "Jade City" to here... There is no one in the three cities that I can like. "
"Oh? This is really fresh. "Qi Xia also laughed, "Are there any job changes for you "Zodiac"? "
"Of course. "The ground monkey nodded, "Without the "participants" in those two cities, the "Zodiac" in the city will be sent out with their games. Not only me, but many "Zodiac" will receive "Heaven-level" orders and make changes. "
"That's really lucky. "Qi Xia looked down at the wooden box on the table, "It's fate that allows us to meet here."
"'Fate'...?" The ground monkey slowly narrowed his eyes, "It's better to be fate."
"Oh?"
"Have you ever thought...if all other cities fall, all the "zodiac signs" will slowly gather in the same city, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
The ground monkey seemed to have something to say. Qi Xia did not answer immediately, but just stared at his eyes for a long time, and then said: "Let's start talking about the rules."
After hearing this, everyone slowly gathered around and looked at the exquisite deck of cards on the table.
"Rules..." The ground monkey slowly grinned after hearing this, "What are you thinking about?"
Qi Xia slowly frowned after hearing this.
"My game rules are "entry two Tao, exit ten Tao." "The ground monkey showed a sly smile, which made Qi Xia feel that something was wrong, "As for how to play this deck of cards... then leave it to you guys to figure it out."
"Figure it out?"
The ground monkey picked up the wooden box, turned around and walked towards the big round table in the distance.
Everyone looked at each other and knew that the ground monkey had started to play his tricks. To be precise, the rules of playing this deck of cards were not considered the rules of the "ground-level game" at all, so the ground monkey could conceal it. After all, he was an opponent of everyone in this gambling game, and there was no reason to increase everyone's chances of winning.
After a few seconds of silence, everyone walked towards the round table. Chen Junnan remembered that the Earth Monkey had won yesterday on this table. He won at least dozens of Daos and a life in that game.
Qi Xia walked a few steps and shook his head, trying to keep himself awake, then sat down in front of the Earth Monkey and watched him take out the deck of cards and put it on the table.
