Chapter 171: Las Vegas (8)
Beelzebub certainly wouldn't turn around and try to pick up the Barbie worth 550,000 yuan, which could be said to be a strawberry on top of a cake, a crown on a pile of coins, a mortal giving another mortal hope, he could take it. But after learning its value, as a bissandi, such an act was tantamount to a subtle provocation - he turned to challenge the teddy bear series, and the top of the teddy bear display also had a top prize, this one was much more dazzling than the simple Barbie, the fur sewn with gold thread, the pure gold nose and mouth, the sapphire pupils, and the diamond iris, so bright that they could not be looked directly in the strong light - Beelzebub twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, "Do you think this kind of bear feels comfortable to hold?" He whispered, Sasha. Hopkins pursed his lips and laughed like a puff, Beelzebub shook his head, this vulgar taste even he couldn't stand, "Even it's worth five hundred and fifty thousand," the son of the leader of the mob on Poseidon Island threw his chips: "I don't want this either." He targeted a rare midnight blue teddy bear, the size of a beer glass, but not light, and the gripper's claws were too loose, and Beelzebub, who had probably run out of luck, grabbed it a dozen times before it was stuffed into the exit, and the teddy bear fell out, and Sasha fished it out, and the bear deftly flipped a few times in his palm. The fabric is made of sailor alpaca wool, supplemented by blue velvet. The left foot is stamped with the "Steiff" brand crystal logo," he pinched the bear's bulging belly: "Old Andreana will like it, it is a work from 2006, limited to 1,500 pieces." The market price is about 1,200 yuan, and the "real" purchase price is only about one-half or one-third, including Barbie just now, which is priced at 550,000 yuan at auction, but according to Hopkins' estimates, if the diamond hanging from the doll's neck is taken down. When sold as ordinary jewelry, its price will only fluctuate around 150,000 yuan.
But that doesn't mean Sean. Battier will allow them to disappear from under his nose for some reason, but with the help of Hopkins and the fact that he is not ready to tear his face with Bisan for the time being, he will not be able to recover his losses, then, he will most likely settle the account on **.
Someone once told a joke about a casino owner who signed a body donation form after being persuaded by his own doctor to die in an accident, and on the operating table, the doctor opened his chest cavity only to find only a huge stomach and gallbladder - no heart. There is also no liver and intestines.
"What's the next?"
"That fancy mohair."
"It looks old," Beelzebub shook his head incredulously, "and its fur is puffed out." ”
"One of the most iconic pieces of 2002 is limited to 500 pieces. The fur is made of fine angora wool and mohair, and it was deliberately made like this – to make it look like an antique. Sasha said, "Catch it!" ”
Glancing at Beelzebub, he was curious about how the two boys got along with each other, and in terms of status and status, he was higher than Hopkins than Sandi's son. But in fact, the young man with the name of a big demon showed a certain obedience to little Hopkins, and he didn't seem to mind doing what his friend wanted, even if he had his own ideas—why? Sasha. It is true that Hopkins is more sophisticated and calm than his peers, but Beelzebub, who seems to be more rude and impatient in comparison, also has his own carefulness and caution - not everyone (big or small) can bear to try again (or many times) in the face of almost all the wealth at their fingertips. He didn't even look at it again. For example, the string of diamonds worth hundreds of thousands of yuan is simply a fake made of glass.
Or rather, what he showed was not obedience but tolerance, interestingly. Little Hopkins seemed to think that this kind of obedience or tolerance was not a big deal,** and it was obvious that he was a thoughtful and responsive boy, but when faced with Beelzebub. He's a little absent-minded.
Intimate, and intimate.
The former is something that many boys can do. But the latter is not necessarily the case. It is also through this stage that he knows how arrogant and arrogant the adolescent boy is—the instinct of the male forces them to do their best to distinguish between superior and inferior in the group (even if there are only two), and this hormonal impulse causes behavior that even the brothers cannot avoid - the better the better, the more competitive it is.
Just as he was thinking about it, Beelzebub caught the third teddy bear, which was a gray, about the length of an arm, and he was content to sandwich the three teddy bears of Midnight Blue, Floral and Gray in his armpits, and the three heads from childhood to adulthood protruded from under the boy's warm shirt.
"I think that's enough," said Beelzebub, "old Andrea will like them." He pulled one out and kissed it on the tip of its black nose.
In fact, the biggest reason for Beelzebub to stop was his stomach, and he was hungry.
** Suggest they try the most famous restaurant on land and sea at Palais Paradise, most famous for the fresh Breton blue lobster flown in, as well as lamb flavored with truffles and figs, goat cheese, olive oil and herbs, carp with sweet oil and fresh asparagus.
Beelzebub hesitated for a moment: "I would prefer a large, oily, roast with sesame seeds and pepper, and a crème brûlée and almond cream cake, and a round black olive and frozen sparkling wine," he looked at **, "Where do you think these are?" ”
** blinked: "Fortunately, we still have a nice cafeteria." ”
Like every restaurant in Las Vegas, the cafeteria at Paradise Palace is set in the depths of the casino, and everyone who wants to dine has to walk past rows of neatly lined Apple machines, as well as the seemingly endless number of Sic Bo, baccarat, roulette, blackjack, and pai gow gambling stalls. Brightly lit and airy, the black-tie-clad and white-shirted wagerers were constantly ripping off more or less bills with a small, flattened pole (they were not allowed to touch them with their hands) and pushing back chips of different colors, a symbol of victory or defeat, with the melodious jingle and the calming sound of the record coming and going.
How many people can endure it? When you're still in a raffle after you've finished your meal – when the prizes range from $5 to $100?
You may tell yourself and others that you will only use up the chips that you got for free, and that you won't even go near the table, you just look at it and walk to the cashing counter. Swap that chip for cash – that's what you think, but according to surveys, only one out of a hundred guests can do that.
This free chip will be like a match, igniting the greedy oil marsh that lies deep in the heart and brain of humanity.
Beelzebub grabbed the biggest teddy bear, and he remembered the boys, and when they gathered in front of the claw machine, the expressions on their faces were not much different from the gamblers gathered in front of Sic Bo and baccarat, Paradise Palace, to be precise, all casinos have amusement parks. The most that surrounds the amusement park are the prize game machines that Beelzebub and Sasha have just seen and tried, and they are colorful and varied. The prize is tempting, it familiarizes children with the casino, with the chips, with the gambling and with the rollercoaster thrill of this particular form of entertainment – just when they are old enough to get it. The casino's two glittering doors will suddenly open – welcoming a new batch of offerings.
He was a little distracted, and when he heard a scream, he only had time to tilt slightly to avoid the body that had suddenly bumped into him, his elbow was grazed, and the teddy bear fell to the ground.
** has also been affected. The man who rushed out of the hallway got right between him and Beelzebub, and he was knocked in the back and nearly fell forward. "What's going on?" He whispered in exasperation, "Is there a devil chasing and kicking your ass?" ”
"That's right," the reckless guy replied, gasping, "not just kicking me in the ass, he's just going to tear me apart." ”
Sasha helped Beelzebub pick up the teddy bear, and just as he tried to straighten up, he saw a pair of blue eyes. The sky is blue, and there is curly blonde hair. The boy frowned slightly.
Blue Eyes quickly looked him up and down, presumably judging Sasha's identity, and she reached out before Sasha stepped away, and Sasha stared at her for a few seconds before holding out her hand.
"What's going on?" ** Repeated, but the subject of the inquiry was changed: "Judas? He glanced at the young woman who had already pulled Sasha to her feet, she was the fake gambler on the floor - the gamblers would avoid the empty stalls, and the casino would send some well-dressed men and women to act as fake gamblers to solicit business, their chips provided by the casino, and it didn't matter if they won or lost, because they had to return all their chips to the casino before they finished their work.
This is a rather dull and boring job, with some acting skills, blue eyes are the best person, she has always done a good job, and she has never dizzy, putting chips in her pocket.
"A guest ordered her into the room." Red-haired Judas said, "Routine work." ”
"I refused." Blue-eyed said.
"She does have that right."
"Yes, but that doesn't mean she can abuse it," the red-haired Judas said coldly, "It's a 'VIP,' and we can't upset him." ”
"Ivan." Blue-eyed added, "That's Ivan," she moved behind ** and lowered her voice very low: "I won several times today, and when he was betting on the dealer position, I ...... At least won him 50,000 yuan. She twisted her fingers restlessly, tears welling up in her eyes: "He's annoyed and scolds me for being a stinky bitch who brought him bad luck...... He spat at me and left the table—and within a few minutes Judas let me go to the 'room,' and as soon as I opened the door I saw Ivan......"
Then she ran away without any manner, and took Ivan? Mr. Nikolaevich was left alone in the room. Judas the red-haired said, "This is against the rules, and she can't go back on agreeing to it." ”
"He's going to kill me!"
The red-haired Judas moved his lips, and Sasha understood the lips—Judas was saying, "If that's the case, it's a good thing." ”
(To be continued)
ps: - In the Sayren scroll, Beelzebub asked Sasha to go first, and some adults sighed that Beelzebub was really a good friend-hey...... Earlier, Sasha had saved Beelzebub twice - once on Poseidon Island and once on Grande......
