As for how to get money in a state of poverty and whiteness, Fang Linyan had carefully considered it before and already had an experience.

After resuming his actions at this point, he jumped directly from the second-floor platform, landed on the ground smoothly, and then trotted towards the dock area where ships in front of him frequently docked.

It took less than five minutes for Fang Linyan to come to the dock area, and then his eyes stayed on a signboard:

"Anchor Bar? well, yes, this is it. ”

Although it is not yet the peak of the customer season, the attendance rate of this bar has reached at least 80%.

When he pushed open the loose-door door of the bar, Fang Linyan saw a notice from the police station next to him, and saw that the format and color should be the same as the one when he first entered the world, so he got close and took a look at it by the way.

It turned out that there had been a murderer in the Whitechapel area recently, and if anyone had any clues, or was a direct witness, then they should come to the police station to explain the situation, and if the information contributed was finally confirmed to be useful in solving the case, then a gentleman named Doolittle offered a prize of three pounds and eleven shillings for it.

Fang Linyan just swept away this matter and didn't pay attention to it.

The bar's heat and rough shouting were greeted by a few mottled copper candlesticks, but the half-peeling decoration on the walls and the creaking wooden floors beneath the feet indicated that the bar had been around for a certain period of time.

Fang Linyan twitched his nose, he was obviously very uncomfortable with the smell of body odor mixed with spirits in the bar, he adapted to the light, and found that there was a huge anchor next to the bar here, presumably this is the origin of the name of the bar.

The aquatic plants and kelp decorations hanging next to the bar are also a good idea, and the shriveled garlic skewers are a staple at every bar at this time, as they are rumored to be disgusting to vampires and can also curb the plague.

Maybe it's Christmas coming, the festive atmosphere in the bar is still quite strong, the Christmas tree has been supported in a corner, of course, there are no hanging gifts on it, and even the young waitress of the bar has begun to COS the little elk with a double ponytail.

The guys who drank here at this time were all decorators and crew members of the docks. These rude guys always have some fun with a couple of drinks, like reaching into the hostess's skirt and causing a scream, or playing a game of Gwent or dice.

Fang Linyan quickly chose his prey:

A table of rude men shouting at the top of their throats.

They had gathered together probably out of excitement, and several of them had unbuttoned their shirts, revealing their thick chest hair and sweaty chests, and were engaged in a lively gamble with dice and cards.

Fang Linyan deliberately walked to the side of this table, and then stopped the shuttle hostess:

"Beautiful young lady, I am very sorry to disturb you, but is Mr. de Haring here? He asked me to meet here at six o'clock in the evening, but it was already a quarter past six. ”

The waitress looked at Fang Linyan and said lightly:

"Sir, it's a pity that I don't know what you call Mr. DeHaring. ”

Fang Linyan sighed, knowing that the hostess's coldness must be because of her three charms....... There's no way, the plot characters just recognize this.

To be honest, I also want to thank the iron branch for adding a little extra charm. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the hostess won't even say much.

"Huh?" Fang Linyan immediately made a dejected expression: "Oh God, my brother is still waiting for me to exchange this Tahitian black pearl for gold pounds and bring it back!

(Note: In the early days, Britain used reserve gold to make currency, and the gold content of the pound was extremely high (close to 100%), and the British Empire later took back the early "gold pound" and added non-precious metals to re-mint, so the gold content of the late pound continued to decline, and the value of a gold pound in the early days was about a pound of gold, and it was recorded in the Sherlock Holmes detective book that the annual salary of a teacher was 30 pounds.) £1 = 20 shillings = 240 pence, which is now roughly converted to 160 shillings and 13 pence a penny. ）

The waitress was originally not interested in Fang Lin Yan, but the figure of one hundred pounds quickly attracted her attention, because this was equivalent to her income for almost ten years, and then her eyes fell on Fang Linyan's palm, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth exaggeratedly:

"Oh my God, it's beautiful. ”

It turned out that in Fang Linyan's palm, there was really something similar to a black pearl, the size of a finger, round and clear, black throughout, full of mystery.

This is exactly the mysterious thing that Fang Linyan found after killing Shania, and it has the attribute that will inevitably fall after the holder's death. It seems that he must become a contractor officially recruited by the space to be eligible for identification, and according to Fang Linyan's speculation, it is likely to be an unknown strange object that can be exchanged for merit points, but it does not prevent Fang Linyan from using it as bait at this time.

Obviously, the dialogue between Fang Linyan and the barmaid immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the people, and these drunken guys around them were obviously willing to have some fun, several people were amazed when they saw the "black pearl" in Fang Linyan's hand, and there was even a kind old man who reminded Fang Linyan:

"Young man, something of such a value should be on the counters of those jewelry stores on Fifth Street, and if I were you, put it away at once. ”

Fang Linyan said gratefully:

"Yes, sir, I think you have a point, but Mr. DeHaring has made an appointment for me to meet here. ”

The old man sighed and was about to speak, but a fat and strong guy squeezed over next to him, with a black cloth belt wrapped around his forehead, revealing his fluffy chest hair with his arms open, but his nose was crooked to the right, and without saying a word, he directly reached out to the black pearl in Fang Linyan's hand and grabbed it, and scolded and said:

"Which son of a bitch is selling fakes here?"

This guy defined the black pearl in Fang Linyan's hand as a "fake" in one bite, obviously fighting the idea of not admitting it after grabbing it.

However, this crooked-nosed man was already drunk, and his reaction was bound to decrease, plus Fang Linyan's agility reached 9 points, which was almost twice that of an ordinary person, so how could he succeed in this catch?

As soon as Fang Linyan withdrew his hand, he took the "Black Pearl" back, put it in his arms, and sighed regretfully:

"Forget it, since Mr. DeHaring is not here, I will go. ”

Then Fang Linyan said to the hostess:

"Beautiful lady, if Mr. de Haring comes, tell him that I will come again at this time to-morrow, and let him wait for me, and if the deal is concluded, I will show my little gratitude for five pounds. ”

After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan deliberately sighed regretfully and said:

"It's a pity that there don't seem to be blackjack players here, otherwise I could have played a few games and waited for him. ”

When the waitress heard the five-pound thank-you fee, her eyes lit up suddenly! Immediately she felt that the young man in front of her had become extremely handsome, and she immediately said without hesitation:

"Sir, blackjack is the mainstream way we play in bars. ”

Before she finished speaking, she was pulled away by the crooked-nosed man, and then this guy squeezed out a smile that he thought was the most affinity:

"Brother, we're going to have blackjack here, let's come together. ”

Fang Linyan said with a suspicious look:

"I don't like to play the debt bureau!

The crooked-nosed man immediately said loudly:

"Of course! I'm famously honest Thorpe!"

As he spoke, he motioned to his subordinates to gather money, and soon scraped together about two pounds of change.

Fang Linyan nodded, then sat down to start the game with them, and easily put the bulging-looking black wallet "Mr. Lannister Tyrion" next to him, cough cough, although it was empty.

Although Fang Linyan didn't take out cash, these scheming guys clearly wanted to win all the money on him, and then seek the priceless black pearl, and they didn't ask him to open his wallet to verify the capital at all.

In Thorpe's opinion, a few of them played cards with Fang Linyan, a rookie guy at first glance, and it wouldn't take him a few minutes to get him to leave the bar with his bare ass crying and crying and leaving his previous things behind.

However, Thorpe didn't know that in the era of information explosion in which Fang Linyan lived, blackjack had been analyzed and studied to the extreme!

A legendary gambler/genius mathematician, Edward Thorpe, started with blackjack, swept the casinos in Las Vegas, and even made a famous mathematical model for blackjack, which is the Kelly formula.

This thing can quantify the amount of bets in a 21-point game, with more bets when the odds are high and fewer bets when the odds are small, and Las Vegas even blacklisted him.

Fang Linyan happened to have played blackjack on the Internet (secretly behind Uncle Xu's back), although he is not a mathematician, but he has enough calmness and wisdom to accurately remember every card played, and can use the Kelly formula to perform mental arithmetic in an instant........ It also means that he is almost invincible in playing blackjack at this time.

Time passed quickly in the game of winning and losing, and after about ten minutes, Thorpe and the others looked at each other, barely believing their eyes, and they were so bloodied by a rookie at the poker table that they had lost the last penny in their trouser pockets.

The point is that there are still a lot of onlookers next to them, and they can't even play tricks. After all, now it's in full view, if you really do such a thing, you will definitely be ridiculed and publicized everywhere, and once the gambling is ruined and the reputation is stinky, then don't think about playing cards around here in the future...... I can't look up when I see an acquaintance.
