Chapter 20: Gambling

"Grandpa, where are we going to bet this time?"

"God of gambling, you just have one word, where to bet!"

"If you bet on the right one this time, you'll be my reborn parents in the future. ā€

......

A group of gamblers all had their eyes shining, just waiting to bet with Yi Chen.

After all, the young man in front of him, who was not good-looking, was a god-level figure who had eight consecutive bets.

If one more win comes in, it's nine wins in a row.

Yi Chen lightly spit out two words - "One circumference!"

All his chips, worth 1,280 taels of silver, were all bet on a circumference.

At this moment, everyone in the audience was stunned.

One circumference, that's a circumference!

The meaning of the dice is that the numbers of the three dice are all the same, which is commonly known as the "leopard".

And the meaning of one circumference is that the number of the three dice is exactly three ones, and all of them are one.

What are the odds?

The odds of throwing a one are 1 in 6.

The probability of six ones is an increase in geometric multiples.

That's a full two hundred and sixteenth!

One thousand two hundred and eighty taels of silver, all in one gamble, was bet on the odds of one in two hundred and sixteen.

Isn't this just looking for death?

"Is he crazy?"

In an instant, the same sentence sounded in everyone's minds.

Who would do that but a madman?

You must know that more than 1,000 taels of silver can be placed on the street side of Yujing City, and a small shop can be built.

Even get together and find a location to buy a small house.

But he, the young man in front of him, actually bet more than 1,000 taels of silver on the "one circumference".

W-This is crazy!

"Brother, big brother, are you mistaken?"

Lei's eyes widened, and he even wondered if he was dreaming?

"You're so crazy?

"Buy and leave, there is no regret!"

When the dealer saw this scene, his eyes were full of smiles.

"Crazy, crazy, this is a crazy person!"

"Hehe, you're still dad! Your dad is betting on it, hurry up and bet!"

"Come on, you just took a bite of your grandfather's, what kind of garlic are you putting now?"

"Young and vigorous, he wouldn't really think that he could bet on that one hundred and fifty times!"

......

The crowd dispersed.

The noise subsided.

No one followed Yi Chen to bet.

That's a circle, with a 1 in 216 chance, to bet 150 times the odds.

Unless it's a brain with water, or a panic with too much money.

Otherwise, no one would have been able to follow them.

The entire Golden Hook Gambling House, all year round, people who dare to bet on a single circumference can be counted on one hand.

"Open! three, three, five! big order!"

The dealer lifts the lid and makes a three-three-five dice.

No surprises, no surprises!

As everyone imagined, with just one handful, Yi Chen lost all the silver he had won before.

A full 1,280 taels, all of which were lost to the gambling house!

"Cut, I know. ā€

"Sure enough, I'm still young and ignorant!"

"There is no one to bet on the whole circumference, this person actually dares to bet on the single circumference, he is really looking for death!"

"I thought I was really a gambling god, I deserved it!"

......

Laughter and ridicule rang out everywhere.

How can you win?

No one believes in this kind of thing, and no one wants to believe it!

"Alas, it's all lost. ā€

Yi Chen sighed helplessly.

However, the expression on his face was calm as usual.

Losing thousands of taels of silver in one breath is as if he just lost a few pennies, without the madness of a gambler going bankrupt.

"Boy, you just won because of luck. Go home and study hard, don't take temporary luck as your own ability. ā€

Wu Dalang patted him on the shoulder and sighed.

Anyway, he also took advantage of the dusty wind to earn a few hundred taels of silver.

"Can you lend me a thousand taels?" Yi Chen asked.

Borrow money?

Borrow a thousand taels?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sneer on their faces.

One thousand taels is not a small amount, who would lend so much money to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy?

What's more, it's still in the casino, and he's still a hysterical lunatica.

Dare to put thousands of taels of silver, all bet on the maniacs!

This kind of person, even if he is a rich man with a lot of money, will never dare to lend him a penny.

"Big brother, forget it, stop betting!"

Lei Dong persuaded him.

He was now a little skeptical, if he was following the wrong person?

"Whoever lends me a thousand taels, and the money that will be won will be divided into half for you!" Yi Chen said again.

"Hehe, what if you lose?"

"You crazy person, it's strange that you can win!"

"If I really borrowed your money, shouldn't you go to bet again?"

......

Contrary to the appearance of kneeling and licking one by one just now, no one was willing to lend him a chip.

"Okay, little brother, don't gamble. That's one hundred taels, enough for you to spend for several years, so go home early for dinner!"

Wu Dalang was a little reluctant in his heart, gave a hundred taels of chips, and persuaded him.

"One hundred taels is still a little less. Whatever you have of value, take it out!"

Yi Chen looked at Lei Dong.

"I—I'll just have a jade pendant. ā€

Lei Dong hesitated and took out a jade pendant.

The whole body is carved with purple jade, delicate and lifelike.

Even if someone who doesn't know the goods sees it, they can't help but praise - "Good jade!"

"This is the heirloom of my Lei family, if you don't gamble, I can't let you gamble!" Seeing Yi Chen's eyes, Lei Dong hugged the jade pendant tightly, for fear of being taken away by him.

"Your sister is in Willow Lane, right?"

Yi Chen suddenly said lightly.

"What did you say?"

mentioned the only sister, and the thunderous eyes instantly became fierce.

"It's just a show now, but after all, it's a place of fireworks, and she will continue to stay, and sooner or later she will have to sell her body and sell herself. ā€

Yi Chen continued.

"No, I'm not going to let her sell herself. I will definitely pass the martial arts exam and take her home beautifully!"

Lei Dong clenched his hands into fists and made a creaking sound.

"Surely? When is that? This year, or next year? Or, 10 years from now, 20 years from now? Can you afford to wait, can your sister afford to wait?"

"Jade is dead, but man is alive. Give me the jade pendant, as long as I win the bet, your sister can redeem herself and go home with you. You can also buy a house in Yujing, and hang a plaque of 'Lei Mansion' on the vermilion lacquer gate!"

Word by word, sentence by sentence, like the devil's whisper, resounded in the thunderous mind.

He gritted his teeth, thinking, hesitating, and making a final choice!

As Yi Chen said, he is too short of money now.

It costs money to eat, money to live, and even more money to practice martial arts.

On top of that, his sister, the only relative left by the Lei family.
