Chapter 301: Winning streak
Lu Cheng's first bet did not attract Shen Yiren's attention, and even Shen Ruohan did not notice his existence. For these people, whether they can win money or not is the most important thing. But soon, both of them noticed Lu Cheng's existence, because Lu Cheng actually won four in a row.
If it's just four wins in a row, it's nothing. After all, it's normal to bet on such a thing as a big bet, even winning ten handfuls. But Lu Cheng bet all the money on each one, which is unusual.
Lu Cheng worked as a temporary handyman in the Shen family, and his monthly money was only six yuan of silver, and Lin An was one or two dollars. And Lin An already owed Shen Yiren one hundred and fifty taels of silver. For the next ten years, he won't get a penny. Although Lu Cheng didn't have any cash, he could bet on the six coins of this month. If he wishes, he can bet up to one year's wages.
When Lu Cheng's six coins of silver, he won four in a row, and became nine taels of silver. Not to mention Shen Yi and Shen Ruohan, almost everyone in the Shen family noticed Lu Cheng's existence.
"I wish I had staked 10 years of my salary. Lin An was very remorseful, Lu Cheng won four times in a row just now, if he could bet with Lu Cheng once, then his life would change. The debt of one hundred and fifty taels of silver weighed down him like a great mountain.
"You can still follow, but I'm not guaranteed to win. Lu Cheng smiled and said, although Lin An is not very old, he is a senior gambler, which reminds him of his father-in-law.
"Buy and leave, buy and leave. Shen Yiren looked at Lu Cheng and said loudly. He is the master, and it stands to reason that he should not gamble with his subordinates, but he often does this, and sometimes even sets up a gambling table in the house in broad daylight.
"I'm betting four taels of silver for a big bet. Lu Cheng said that he removed the capital of six yuan, and now he has exactly nine taels of silver.
"I'll bet one hundred and fifty taels, great. Lin An said. Although he felt that it was a little strange that Lu Cheng didn't bet all of them this time. But I didn't hesitate to bet on a big one.
"I'm betting big, too. Shen Ruohan also seemed to be very optimistic about Lu Cheng, and followed him to bet on him.
When the others saw Shen Ruohan, they were also betting big, and almost all of them were betting on the big. When Shen Yiren saw it, his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance. But he didn't speak, just waited for everyone to place their bets.
"You have to be careful, if you lose, you can blame me. Lu Cheng reminded. He didn't mean to trick everyone, he just didn't want to be in the limelight. Lin An treated him well, and he would compensate Lin An in other ways in the future. Never at the table.
"No, I have to trust you once. Lin An said firmly. When opportunities slipped away again and again, he would naturally not be so quiet anymore.
But this time Lin An believed that he was wrong, when Shen Ruohan opened the Gu cover, it was one, two, three, six points small. His one hundred and fifty taels became Shen Yiren in an instant. And Lin An had to work as a miscellaneous servant for the Shen Mansion for ten years.
"I said, you have to be careful. Lu Cheng sighed secretly, he didn't want Lin An to repeat his father-in-law's mistakes. In other words, as long as Lin An bets with him, he will definitely lose. Sometimes it helps him win money, but it hurts him. He has learned this lesson and will not make the same mistake again.
Lin An's face was pale, ten years of miscellaneous labor was not so easy to endure. Once he lost forty years' wages, he never had a chance to gamble again. After all, as a handyman, you can only work until you are sixty years old.
Lin An lost such a big handful, so naturally he was not in the mood to play anymore. Although he really wanted to pull the book. But one hundred and fifty taels was no less than an astronomical amount for him. He has now lost twenty years of wages, and if he loses another twenty years, this life will be over.
"Let's go. Lu Cheng put the remaining five taels of silver in his pocket. Whisper. A gambler like Lin An, he didn't want to make him feel like he could easily win a lot of money. In that case, it is not to help him, but to harm him. Lu Cheng believes that in the future, Lin An should not find himself to gamble again.
Really. For the next few days, Lin An didn't come to disturb Lu Cheng. When Lin An felt that he was very back, when Lu Cheng won four times in a row, he didn't follow the bet, but he came when he lost in the end. Lu Cheng is very self-aware, and he will leave if he wins. Unlike himself, he will never leave without losing a fine light.
Lu Cheng would always use his induction power to sense each of his meridians countless times a day, and he had tried his best, but he still hadn't found a way to open the meridians. Although Lu Cheng is a martial artist of the tenth layer of internal strength, he is a civilian martial artist. Although it is the root of the family, it has not accumulated knowledge in this area since childhood.
In the same way, every day he would cultivate his internal strength, wanting the internal strength in the sea of qi to break through the closed meridians. But every time it was to no avail, and for him, it seemed that the meridians would never open again.
"Lu Cheng, accompany me out in the evening. Shen Ruohan suddenly found Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng's performance when gambling had already attracted Shen Ruohan's attention. He lost badly. Although he is the steward of the Shen Mansion, he actually owes Shen Yiren a lot of debt. Lin An has only lost twenty years of wages, but he has almost lost all the time in his life.
"Good. Lu Cheng nodded, since Shen Ruohan came to find him, there must be something. He didn't want to ask more, after all, he was just a temporary handyman, so he asked less and watched more, talked less and listened more.
Shen Ruohan was very satisfied with Lu Cheng's performance, and if it was Lin An, he would definitely keep chattering. The reason why he asked Lu Cheng to come out was just to let him accompany him to the casino to play a few games. Lu Cheng is calm and calm, and he is not greedy, the most important thing is that he has good luck, betting on five to win four, such a chance is rare.
It was the first time for Lu Cheng to visit Shadow Moon City, and although it was night, he still watched it with relish. Shadow Moon City is a port city, and there are people from all countries, even from the Shenwu Continent. Although Lu Cheng has not been in the Gora Continent for a short time, he can basically understand the language here. He has a good memory, coupled with the circumstances.
Shadow Moon City is very lively at night, the streets are full of people, during the day it is very busy to enter the goods, and at night, it is a time of recreation. Restaurants, teahouses, casinos, flower houses, almost every street can be found.
After walking for a while, Shen Ruohan took Lu Cheng into a casino. It was filled with third-rate Nine Sect people, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the table, and no one noticed their arrival at all.
"Lu Cheng, if you can help me win three times in a row, you will be able to move freely in the Shen Mansion in the future. Shen Ruohan brought Lu Cheng to a table the size of a gambler and whispered in his ear.
