Chapter 269: Spatial Overlap and Cutting
Sifang Wharf Ti'an East Road is lined with shops, and trade is thriving. The north side of the www.biquge.info shore of the pen "Fun" Pavilion is an endless sea, and the sails on the sea are lined up, and the boats are connected to each other, and thousands of sails are competing. On the street, some dock workers, coachmen, sedan chair drivers, craftsmen, sailors, martial arts rangers, peddlers and merchants, eunuchs, and children of the Shi clan, all kinds of men and women were full of voices, and they seemed noisy and prosperous.
Lei Ding took Rong Yuanhang, Xiao Wu, Cailong and his party to this side, suddenly stopped, pointed ahead, and said: "Gang leader, you see that there is the Fuxing Gambling House of the Golden Snake Gang." β
Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw a row of staggered inns and teahouses, and in the center there was a four-paved gambling house, and a big word "gambling" hung at the door. The door plaque reads: "Fuxing Gambling House" five gold lacquer characters.
"Is this the one?" Rong Yuanhang looked at it and said to Lei Ding: "Lei Hall Master, you are a familiar face, going in will arouse their vigilance, it is better for you and Xiao Wu to wait here, and I will go and see the environment." β
Lei Ding clenched his fists and said, "Helper, that group of people is very vicious. Be careful, don't capsize in the gutter. β
"What the Lei Hall Master said is reasonable, don't worry, I have a score."
Rong Yuanhang instructed the three of them to wait nearby, and he walked straight to the direction of the gambling hall alone.
β¦β¦
At the entrance of the Fuxinglai Gambling Hall, there were two big men guarding the door, and there was a war beast lying next to the big man sitting on the horse.
This kind of war beast is disdainful of Rong Yuanhang, because it is only a first-level spirit beast, and it is called a stone wolf. In fact, the head of this stone wolf is more similar to the head of a lioness, and its body size is much larger than that of an ordinary wolf, equivalent to an adult Siberian tiger.
The two gatekeepers sat and stood one by one, chatting leisurely, occasionally pointing at the women passing by, and judging their heads. They were accustomed to gamblers coming in and out, but there was one thing they would chase away when a ragged man or a beggar with a smell on his body wanted to enter.
Rong Yuanhang walked into the gambling hall with his hands behind his back, and the two gatekeepers didn't even look at it. Casinos don't need to be polite to welcome customers, just a 'gamble' word is enough to attract people.
As soon as I entered, a cloudy warm breeze rushed in my face. I saw a miasma of smoke inside, and people crowded in groups of three or five. Hundreds of gamblers are noisy and noisy, some pound their chests, some dance with their hands, some have sad faces, and some are ecstatic, showing all kinds of life.
The entire 400-square-meter hall is carved beams and paintings, magnificent, and there are a total of more than a dozen gambling stalls in it. There are tables, pai gow, bets and other tables, and every table is crowded with customers.
Rong Yuanhang took a look and found that there were about twenty-five spectators in the entire casino hall, and most of these casino guards were at the peak level of martial artists, and there was only one martial artist, probably a small boss or something.
Don't look at Rong Yuanhang's past when he was all dealing with some martial artists, martial arts and above-level figures, it was because of the different environments he was in. In fact, ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in this world are stagnant among the two major levels of martial artist and martial artist.
Cultivators enter the peak of martial artists from the beginning of martial arts, and this period basically requires twenty or thirty years of hard cultivation. From the peak of a martial artist to the level of a martial artist, this part of the cultivators will drop sharply, and it takes a certain amount of talent and opportunity to do it, otherwise there is no hope for life.
And the people who break through the Martial Sect from the Martial Master are definitely rare! This requires great talent, all kinds of favorable conditions, and one's own penance. As for those above the level of the Martial King, they are even more rare in the world, and for the general public, they are myths and legends.
Now that Rong Yuanhang has reached the initial level of the Martial King, he doesn't pay attention to the guards in the hall at all, and he can be wiped out with a wave of his hand. Of course, the entire casino is more than just this guard, and there are corridors in the gambling hall, and there will be a hole in it. There are also stairs next to it that lead to the second and third floors. The upper floor is also a place of business.
"Double, Double, Double......"
"Single, must be single......"
"Double, needless to say, double!"
At this time, a stall on the left caught his attention. The gamblers shouted excitedly, and the dealer pickpockets were nearing the end and the results would soon be shown, so the gamblers who placed heavy bets were very concerned.
The stall is a large curved desk four meters long and two meters wide, with a thick square with thick edges drawn in black lacquer. Texts are engraved in the center, on the borders, and at the corners, each representing a different way of placing bets.
The game is simple: the dealer places a considerable number of beans in front of him, and at the beginning of each time, the dealer covers the pile with a copper bowl and divides part of it into the copper bowl. After waiting for the gamblers to place their bets, the dealer will open a bowl stall and separate each of four pieces until they are finished. In the last group, there may be one bean left, it may be two, it may be three, it may be four. Anyway, these are the four changes.
Punters are betting on how many beans are left in the final group!
The betting method can buy 1 even 2, 2 even 3, 3 even 4, 2 even 4, 1 even 4, 1 even 3, etc., the odds of this gambling method are one to one. If you buy 1 or 2 in a row, that is, the last group wins no matter whether there is one or two beans left, but there are three or four beans left, you will not win and lose. And so on.
You can also guess odds and evens, its odds are also one to one, but buy a number alone, if you buy, the dealer will be doubled three, if you don't buy, only lose the number of bets.
This kind of gambling seems to be very fair. But there is also a rake in this: that is, every time the gambler wins, the dealer has to take 15 percent, for example, the gambler wins 100 taels of silver, and the dealer only needs to pay 85 taels of silver.
This kind of gambling method is simply a sure profit for the banker. Win or lose in one day, and after a long time, all the gamblers' money is siphoned off. The casino has a rule: only money tickets and gold coins are accepted. Because gold coins are the standard currency of a certain country, each gold coin weighs one tael, no more and no less.
However, silver is different, some are not in good condition, some are different in weight, and it is very inconvenient to use at the table, so gamblers must exchange all metal currency except gold coins for money tickets before they can place bets.
"If my casino opens, I'll let all the gamblers swap their bets for chips!" Rong Yuanhang thought in his heart that if there was competition in business, this alone could leave other casinos far away. Converting into chips is not only convenient for customers, but also conducive to the statistics of funds. And it is very easy to make this kind of chips, with the support of modern technology, you can make it as beautifully as you want, and you are not afraid of others copying it.
The chips on the casino are just a number, because it is not physical cash, once gamblers indulge in it, there will be a sense of numbness and dullness, and the bet is often irrational. When you lose it all, you will be shocked: it's all money!
Stacks of gold coins and tickets are placed on the table, which is very eye-catching. This kind of gambling is very interesting, and Rong Yuanhang became interested when he looked at it. Xin said: "If you can see the number of beans in the dealer's bowl, then it is developed." β
However, there are piles of beans stacked together, and it is impossible to count them without using your hands and eyes alone. Unless, put the beans in the storage space, so that your mental power should be felt, then no matter how many beans there are, it will be clear at a glance, and it is better than a scanning machine.
"How do you put them in storage?"
Putting things into the storage space, Rong Yuanhang's practice is usually to open the space with his mind, and then grab the items that need to be placed with his hands and put them in, and then make the space disappear with his mind...... That is, closing.
And now, Rong Yuanhang suddenly wanted to make an attempt - to extend the space into the copper bowl where the beans were placed!
The shape of the dimensional storage space can be changed at will, and Rong Yuanhang uses this feature to turn the space into a cuboid with a cross-sectional area of 0.25 square meters. Then the length of this cuboid reaches 4 meters.
He was now standing less than 3.3 meters away from the dealer's table, so a cuboid that only he could see suddenly extended to the dealer's table!
Suddenly, the dealer waved his hand and shouted, "Buy and leave, open!" β
"Huh, gone?" Rong Yuanhang is strange, he has never tried this phenomenon. It turned out that the dealer's hand had inadvertently touched the cuboid space, and strangely, this space had disappeared. When Rong Yuanhang's mind is together, it 'grows' again.
"Why is this happening?" Rong Yuanhang was puzzled. ββWhy does this dimensional space disappear when an external force touches it?!
Rong Yuanhang tried a few more times, but without exception, as long as he touched someone else's body, it would disappear. He didn't believe in evil, and after thinking about it, he decided to avoid people's movement routes - let the space pass under the table.
The 'space' has the property of changing at will, passing through the bottom of the table, the 'cuboid' becomes a curved tube, and this time, it reaches the bottom of the table smoothly by avoiding the unintentional touch of others.
At this time, a scene that shocked and ecstatic Rong Yuanhang happened - the 'cuboid space' passed directly from the bottom of the table through the table, and suddenly reached the bottom of the copper bowl. The beans under the copper bowl are all wrapped in a cuboid space. Because they are in their own storage space, under the induction of spiritual power, all the beans are clear at a glance - there are 147 in total!
"Close!"
Rong Yuanhang's mind moved, and all the beans and the wooden blocks containing the beans on the table were actually collected into the space together!
"Ding, Ding, Ding"
"Buy and leave, open!" The dealer lifted the copper bowl......
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
"Where's the beans?"
"Huh? It's gone? β
Gamblers ask questions about their intentions. However, the dealer was momentarily stunned, and saw that where the copper bowl was opened, a small square cave appeared, and the beans had disappeared!
Originally, a thick solid wood desktop was missing a small piece for no reason, and it was a neat quadrangular body, which was extremely weird! At this time, the dealer was in a cold sweat, thinking that he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight!
"What's going on, why don't you have beans, who wins this?"
"Have you come up with a thousand techniques? What does it mean to open such a small hole? β
β¦β¦ Gamblers shouted one after another, some clamoring to lose money, and they thought that the dealer had done it in advance. Only the dealer's face was full of disbelief, and the whole person became demented.
But when it came to Rong Yuanhang, his shock was no less than that of the dealer. ββIt turns out that the storage space can still be used like this?? It's like cutting the entire space at the bottom of a copper bowl and putting it in your own storage space.
But why does space disappear when it touches an active object?
Rong Yuanhang pondered hard, and gradually came to a conjecture conclusion: according to modern abstract concepts, if our current world is a four-dimensional space, such as zero-dimensional space, it is an infinitesimal point, when countless such points are gathered into a column, it forms a straight line, that is, a one-dimensional space; Then there is a plane formed by countless lines, and this plane is the two-dimensional space; Then countless planes form a three-dimensional space, that is, a three-dimensional space. Three-dimensional space is static, and when this spatial world changes based on time, the four-dimensional space will also arise, and what we are currently in is the four-dimensional space.
According to this assertion, then Rong Yuanhang's own storage space is a three-dimensional space without time. And when there are foreign objects in motion in this three-dimensional space: for example, when the hands of gamblers and the bodies of dealers are touched, it generates time, and this three-dimensional space disappears and becomes a four-dimensional space.
This is the only reasonable explanation that Rong Yuanhang can think of at the moment. However, he was ecstatic at this momentous discovery, because the storage space could pick up still objects at will. Moreover, regardless of the effect of physical matter, it is possible to cut stationary objects. What does this mean? It's too useful to count!
It also has a function that is currently useful: when the beans are not collected just now, the moment the storage space enters the copper bowl and overlaps with the four-dimensional space, all the objects (beans) within the storage space will be clearly presented in one's own sea mind - it will not take a second to know the number of beans inside.
This is a must-win weapon for casinos! Taking advantage of this feature, you can instantly and clearly know the number of beans in the copper bowl on the fan stall. Now that he is looking for trouble with the Golden Snake Gang, Rong Yuanhang can't wait to kill the Quartet and win all the money of the dealer. Then the owner of the casino was forced out to see what kind of face he was.
There are still five hundred taels of blue crystal in the storage space, which is just used as a gambling book, Rong Yuanhang turned around and found an errand boy in the casino, grabbed someone and asked, "Man, where is the money ticket?" (To be continued.) )
