Chapter 90: Underground Casinos
"Or let's not go. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" asked the masked multi-track looking at the gloomy surroundings with some apprehension.
Here's the thing, at dinner, Genma informs Caesar and Multitrack that he is going to wait for Xia Bo to arrive on Kumquat Island, and of course, in Genma's introduction, Xia Bo is an amateur who likes to study in the wrong direction, not a scientist on Team Rocket. Neither of them had a problem with this, and even Caesar unexpectedly did not ask Genma how he knew Xia Bo, but he offered to go to a place to pass the time. This place is the underground black boxing arena.
Gambling is not legal in that world, even though many things called lotteries, sweepstakes, and the like are originally a type of gambling. But in the same world, this kind of thing is repeatedly forbidden. As the main support of tourism, the Orange Islands are home to countless underground gambling establishments. And the world is different, the way of gambling is definitely different, and many places in this world are gambling with elf battles. Whether it is a nobleman's multi-track, or a commoner Genma, he has never seen such gambling, out of curiosity about underground gambling, so at Caesar's suggestion, the group decided to go to the underground casino to have a look, in order to pass the time.
"Don't worry, it's safe all around. Caesar, who was also wearing a mask, comforted Multitrack, "The underground casinos on Camquat Island are relatively famous in the entire Orange League, and they look a little scary here, but in fact, they are just a cover. In fact, the neighborhood is very safe, otherwise those gamblers from different regions would dare to come here to gamble!"
Listening to Caesar's words, the multi-track relaxed a little, but still a little nervous, and followed closely behind the two, not daring to move away. After passing through the tattered and gloomy underground passage, the front suddenly opened up, and in the distance, I saw bright lights and heard a noisy noise, which made people curious.
"Here," said Caesar, "there are many districts here, and you want to go to which districts you want to play." ”
Genma looked at each other with multiple tracks: "We don't understand it either, do you have any good suggestions?"
Caesar thought for a moment, then said, "There are some things here that are not suitable for you, why don't we go to the gladiatorial arena and watch the elven gambling game?"
"Listen to you. Both men had no objection to Caesar's suggestion, and followed him to the Colosseum.
"You seem to be familiar with this place?" asked Genma suspiciously, if it wasn't strange to just know what the items in this place were, but it would be strange if he was also so familiar with the route of this place.
"I've been here before when I'm traveling with people. Caesar explained.
Genma didn't ask again, but looked at the surrounding environment. At the center of the venue was an iron cage made of steel bars, surrounding a circle of auditoriums, which were almost full, some wearing various masks like the three of them, and some showing their true faces. Bunny maids dressed as bunnies weave around the audience with beers and chips, stopping from time to time to peddle to the audience.
"We've picked a good time," Caesar said to the two of them, "and it's usually the same place as the Marseille bets on the elves in the casino, but tonight there's going to be a monthly spectator tournament." Anyone can participate, and if they win, they can get a lot of money, and the more you win, the more money you end up getting. That's a bonus that makes me feel a little excited. ”
At this time, a burst of manic music sounded on the stage in front of the iron cage in the center, and then a clown dressed in funny clothes walked out and said loudly to the crowd on the field: "Hello everyone, I'm Jamie, welcome to the underground gladiatorial arena of Kumquat Island." As you know, we're going to have a monthly Spectator Participation Tournament today, where anyone can come and win twice as much as they win! Of course, if you accidentally lose, then you will lose all your prize money. I'm going to tell you what the starting prize is today. ”
The clown clapped his hands, and the two bunny girls walked up carrying a huge sign covered in a red cloth. Jamie the Clown stepped forward, grabbed the corner of the red cloth, and lifted it hard, and the red cloth suddenly fell off, revealing a few numbers in the middle of the sign. The bunny girls walked around the field with signs held aloft and made sure everyone saw them.
"200,000 yuan, today's starting prize is 200,000 yuan! That's a very high number, everyone, cheer!" the clown Jamie shouted at the crowd, and the audience responded with a wild cheer. I don't know if it's for this high prize money or for the trainer who is about to come to power because of this bonus.
"And is there anyone willing to come up?" asked Jamie the Clown.
"I'll come. A thin-looking teenager walked up to the stage tremblingly, holding a shoddy-looking Poké Ball.
"Oh, a brave boy," Jamie said to the audience, and then walked up to the boy, "I know you, poor little boy in the slums who claims to be the genius of Kumquat Island, Abu, if I remember correctly, your mother is seriously ill, and you are here for this, right?"
The boy nodded.
"Poor fellow, may God bless you. Jamie made a funny gesture of prayer, which immediately drew laughter from the audience, "So what are you going to bet on?"
"This. The boy handed over a round stone that looked like a glass marble.
"A stone?"
"This is a treasure left behind by my father, who was a very good captain. The boy discerned.
"Yes, I don't know which of your fathers, your mother seems to have a lot of husbands. Jamie asked, and the mockery implied in his words immediately caused the audience to laugh, and all kinds of vulgar words flowed out of the audience's mouths, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
The boy clenched his fists angrily, as if he wanted to beat Jamie, but in the end he was weak to let go, lowered his head and said, "This is really a precious treasure, my mother said it." ”
Jamie held up the stone, and the camera immediately focused on it, and the audience saw the stone through the projector - a spherical transparent pale orange stone with an "S" shape in the center, divided into yellow and red, and looked like an old-fashioned glass marble. Genma immediately recognized it, it was Charizard's Super Evolution Stone Y, a precious item from the Carlos region. The market price of this super evolution stone will not be much lower than 100,000, but unfortunately it is rare even in the Carlos region, let alone the Orange Islands, which are separated by 108,000 miles.
Genma naturally wouldn't reveal the fact that he knew what it was, so after waiting for a long time, no one recognized what it was, but even if no one recognized it, the "S" in this stone continued to rotate spontaneously, which obviously proved that this stone was very extraordinary.
"Well, good luck boy, even if it's a gem. But that's still not enough, unless you bet yourself!"
"Betting on myself?"
"That's right, if you lose, you don't belong to you, but to us. ”
The boy gritted his teeth and finally said, "Good!"
"Very good!" said Jamie the Clown, opening the door to the iron cage, "You can go in." ”
