Chapter Twenty-Six: The East Side Casino
Noon.
White clouds, scorching sun, breeze.
After lunch, Lin Xi got up to leave, widows and orphans are not good at keeping guests, the two of them bid farewell to Lin Xi out of the house, waved goodbye, for Zheng Ya, the death of the wild cow is like a landslide, the pillars of the family suddenly fell, and the status in the village also collapsed.
Lin Xi walked out of the door of Manniu's house, as if he had put down a big stone in his heart, he was afraid that Manniu's wife and children would have an overreaction after learning that Manniu was dying to save himself, so he wandered all the way, and now, Zheng Ya has accepted the money he gave, although he can't make up for the loss of one ten-thousandth, but it is within his ability, let them be resettled for the time being, and when he has a foothold in the future, he will find a way to take care of them.
Now Lin Xi's state of mind can only be described in four words:
Comfortable and refreshing.
Lin Xi followed the way he came, walked all the way, and soon returned to Hanshuang City, after Lin Xi returned to the city, he did not return to the city lord's mansion, but went directly to the city market.
Coming to the bazaar, Lin Xi went straight to the Xingluo Treasures Store, and also patronized many stalls selling Xingluo treasures along the way, his purpose was very clear, to buy as many as possible the first and second grades of the gold system Diffuse Body Xingluo.
There are a total of 200 acupuncture points in the chest and abdomen of the body, all of which need to be assisted by the golden diffuse body, according to the previous success rate, the number of diffuse bodies required to complete the acupuncture point embryo in the chest and abdomen and complete the metaembryo crystallization will not be less than 2,000 numbers.
Lin Xi walked around the bazaar, looking for and searching, until he went to the sunset West Mountain, and only then did he buy less than a hundred first- and second-grade gold diffuse bodies, which cost him nearly 50,000 low-grade Yuan Crystals.
Now, Lin Xi came to the last shop at the end of the street, and was sitting in the shop hall waiting for the shopkeeper to return, because he learned from the shopkeeper that there were nearly twenty first- and second-grade diffuse bodies in the warehouse of his shop.
At this moment, a group of people walked in from outside the store, several people were talking and laughing, Lin Xi looked up at the door, and saw that everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes, brocade clothes and jade belts, which were the outfits of the children of the Han family.
The two of them looked at each other.
"Yo"!
"Isn't this our city lord's honored guest, Young Master Lin, how can you deign such a small shop today!" Han Ba entered the store, slapped the folding fan in his hand, and said in a strange manner.
"What a distinguished guest, it's a deserter", one of them sneered and said: "You don't know, on the night of the raid on Wangjiashuizhai half a year ago, he left his companions in the mine and ran away alone, so he was the only one in the whole mine", one of the teenagers said, and by the way, he also made a hip shaking motion.
"Is it so shameless? Such a person would dare to return to Han Shuang City?"
"How could Miss fall in love with him, returning Brother Lin before and after Brother Lin, it's really a shame for our Han family."
.........
Everyone laughed and discussed, and you and I provoked Lin Xi's bottom line of patience with every word.
Lin Xi sat in the hall, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, did not speak, and quietly waited for the shopkeeper to return.
After a while, the store hurriedly returned from carrying the goods outside, entered the store, and saw Lin Xi, who was still waiting in the store, so he picked up the goods and walked towards Lin Xi.
Suddenly one by one
A folding fan blocked the front of the store, and said in a strange voice:
"Boss, what's in your hand?"
"If you go back to your son, it's the first and second grade gold system, and it's booked by this son", the shopkeeper replied, pointing to Lin Xi who was sitting in the store waiting.
"Oh, it's a coincidence, that's exactly what I need", Han Ba's attitude was arrogant and arrogant, and he said as if there was no room for negotiation: "That's good, you sell him to me, and I'll bid double."
"This ......", the store is in a dilemma, and the business naturally cares most about money, but it can't be discredited because of small profits.
"Boss, you can't sell it to him just because the price is high, it stands to reason that I have already paid a deposit, and this product is mine", Lin Xi stood up and said.
Now Lin Xi stands in front of people, his momentum is not weaker than others, his height has changed from one meter nine when he first came to Jin Mixing, and he has been transformed by Mi Yuan in the past year and a half, and has grown to two meters six now, and his physique has also become strong, for a young man who has just turned twenty years old, his height has gradually increased, which is the most common thing in Jin Mixing.
"Oh, two guest officers, don't be embarrassed, I think both of you can tear down my small shopkeepers, both of them can't be offended, otherwise, the two of you make a bet, whoever wins will be good? Or I won't sell this goods at all, I won't do your business anymore, this is always okay?", the shopkeeper said aggrievedly, worthy of being a shrewd businessman.
"Bet on what?" said the two men almost in unison.
"Why don't you make a fist?" the shopkeeper suggested.
Han Ba glanced at the shopkeeper, walked to the center of the hall, looked at Lin Xi with a wicked smile and said:
"Lin Xi, the three most famous places in our Hanshuang City are the auction house, Huaichun Building, and the gambling building, do you dare to bet against me in the gambling building in Dongcheng?"
"Why don't you dare", Lin Xi said with his head held high.
"Casino fight, wealth is in the sky, life and death are fate, do you really dare?", Han Ba asked again in disbelief.
Han Ba didn't expect that Lin Xi would agree so simply, obviously digging a hole, and hurriedly jumping in.
A year and a half ago, he was in the middle realm of the Yuanxing Middle Realm, and in this year and a half, he has broken through to the peak of the Yuanxing Middle Realm, and a Yuan Tai also wants to challenge him, in his opinion, it is undoubtedly a mayfly shaking the tree, looking for his own death.
"Oh, Han Ba, are you afraid? If you want to go, you can go, if you don't go, this thing will be mine", Lin Xi wanted to reach out to get the goods in the store's hand.
"Joke, I'll be afraid of you, it's just a Yuan Tai who can't cultivate, it's really beyond my strength, since you are looking for death by yourself, then it's no wonder to blame me", Han Ba pointed at everyone, looked around and said to the people who were traveling with him: "Everyone at the scene went with me to make a proof, it wasn't that I forcibly took him to go, wait for some accident, so as to make a proof for me in front of the city lord."
All the children of the Han family echoed and expressed their willingness to testify, surrounded by everyone, Han Ba led everyone towards Dongcheng, these young children of the Han family, shouting all the way, calling friends, and going to see the lively people, there were more and more people, Lin Xi followed silently.
When they arrived at the gate of Dongcheng Casino, more than 100 people had gathered, and there were still people gathering at the casino, and the momentum was huge.
The guard at the door of the casino, seeing so many people suddenly gathered at the door of the casino, rushed to report inside, and soon, a middle-aged man with his hair tied and wearing a crown and bright clothes walked out of the casino, as if he was the manager of the casino, and walked over towards the crowd with a smile.
A young kid beside Han Ba stepped forward to communicate with the steward for a while, explaining his intentions, and the steward ordered the guards to lead everyone in, but the steward himself hurriedly walked towards the backyard.
The architectural style of the casino is very simple, not as magnificent as the auction hall and Huaichun Building, the architectural tone used is also gray tones, the external square of the casino has several spacious stone competition rings, and there are audience seats around it, which can accommodate thousands of people to watch at the same time.
The casino building is a flat-roofed house of one floor, the casino is surrounded by a square with a ring, the four corners of the square are towering square towers, like a lookout tower, the interior of the casino is very spacious, the roof is high, the gaming tables are neatly arranged, there is also a ring inside, and the partition of various card gambling machines is obvious.
Knock knock.
"Please come in".
"Subordinates meet Lord Han Sheng" A person came in from outside the door and knelt on one knee and bowed his hand.
"Oh, the casino manager, what's wrong?" Han Sheng sat in front of the bookcase and wrote, without looking up, and asked lightly.
"Just now, Han Ba, a child of the Han family, came to the casino with hundreds of people to compete with a person named Lin Xi, which is related to the children of the Han family.
"Is there such a thing, did Lin Xi come here voluntarily?", Han Sheng put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Steward Xie and asked.
"According to the observation of his subordinates, Han Ba was not persecuted, I heard that he saw an item at the same time in Xingluo's store, and there was a dispute, and after the consent of both parties, he came here to fight", Xie Guan reported according to the situation.
"Oh, it's interesting," Han Sheng said repeatedly.
Han Sheng met Lin Xi outside the gate of the main hall that day, and saw that Lin Xi turned out to be Yuan Tai, so he didn't see it, in the past, Yuan Tai went to the street, and he was afraid to avoid people when he met them, and he never dared to walk in the middle of the road.
"Do it according to the rules", Han Sheng said lightly.
"But ......", Xie Guan stopped talking.
"Don't worry, with me, nothing can happen," Han Sheng answered.
"Obey!" Steward Xie looked happy, and with Han Sheng's words from the city lord, he no longer had any worries and retreated.
Then, Han Sheng left the house and walked in the direction of the casino.
In the ring area outside the casino, there are more and more spectators, and shouting and noise are everywhere:
"Come on, come on, bet, bet, Han Bagongzi against Lin Xigongzi, the odds are one to ten, how many are charged."
"Friends, come to me to bet, my odds are higher, the children of the Han family are the bankers, and the young master Han Ba is against Lin Xiyuantai, the odds are one to twenty, there is a guarantee, there are odds."
......
The official odds of the casino have always been one to one, and there is no lack of private gambling on the scene, and the casino is used to this kind of thing, and it is not stopped.
The casino ring area is bustling.
It was lively for a while.
