Chapter 10 Gambling House
With 10,000 coins in his pocket, Zhou Qiuyuan walked into the Jucai Gambling House, which welcomed guests from all directions.
He had always been sworn enemies of gambling and drugs, but he never imagined that he would one day step into a gambling den.
This wasn't Zhou Qiuyuan's 'first' visit to Jucai Gambling House, but reality and future dreams are ultimately different. He had no cost to make mistakes, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The gambling den wasn't exactly deserted early in the morning; it was mostly filled with gamblers who had lost everything and gang thugs coldly surveying the scene.
Zhou Qiuyuan looked around and saw that the scene was exactly the same as in his future dream.
"Ah Yuan, you're here." Cao San greeted Zhou Qiuyuan warmly upon seeing him. "This is the gang's territory. If you're willing to support us, we can't let you suffer a loss. Here's a hundred coins for you to play with."
Zhou Qiuyuan did not refuse the hundred coins offered to him, and cupped his hands in thanks, saying with a smile, "Brother, you are very generous. Thank you."
When Cao San saw that Zhou Qiuyuan had taken the money, his smile widened.
He had just joined the Green Snake Gang and was in a lowly position with little influence, needing to rely on his "performance" to gain a foothold in the gang. Zhou Qiuyuan's becoming a body refiner aroused Cao San's jealousy, leading him to devise a plan to drag Zhou Qiuyuan down with him.
Gambling is highly addictive. Once you participate for the first time, you will not be able to resist gambling a second and a third time, until you fall into an abyss.
The 100 coins, seemingly given away for free, are actually bait to lure people down a path of no return.
Having lived two lives, Zhou Qiuyuan had long understood the role Cao San played: a junket operator who lured people into gambling.
The more he gambled, the more money Cao San made.
They call themselves brothers, but secretly they're full of scheming.
Cao San was originally a boy from a poor alley. He was quite diligent when learning the craft of paper horses, but since joining the Green Snake Gang, he has completely changed.
It must be said that the environment has a great influence on people; few people can be like the lotus, rising from the mud unsullied.
Faced with bait offered to him by others, Zhou Qiuyuan accepted it without hesitation.
Zhou Qiuyuan was very familiar with Jucai Gambling House, so he didn't rush to join the game. Instead, he wandered around the gambling tables as an observer, looking for a good opportunity.
Jucai Casino doesn't play the time-consuming dominoes game; instead, they play the long-standing game of Sic Bo.
The gamblers kept shouting out various numbers of numbers, and those who won seemed to be on steroids, full of enthusiasm and excitement.
Zhou Qiuyuan quietly arrived at table number one and observed coldly.
"Place your bet and you're done."
After the gamblers had placed their bets, the waiter shook the dice cup, and the sound of the dice hitting the cup could be heard.
Zhou Qiuyuan silently murmured to himself, "Great."
The dice cup was set down, and the dice inside revealed the answer, which matched his prediction: big.
Become!
Zhou Qiuyuan recorded the results of six gambling games through his future dreams, which gave him the confidence to come to the casino to withdraw money.
Zhou Qiuyuan divided the 10,000 copper coins into two equal parts, and then put one part together with the 100 copper coins given to him by Cao San on the gambling table, betting small.
Going all in is too risky; many people have lost everything because of it.
Zhou Qiuyuan believed that the results recorded in his future dreams would not be wrong, but as a leek who had been repeatedly harvested by the stock market's sickle, he still developed the habit of not putting all his eggs in one basket.
"Place your bet and you're done."
The gamblers placed their bets, and the waiter rolled the dice; the result was small.
The shop assistant pushed 10,200 coins in front of Zhou Qiuyuan.
He appeared calm on the surface, but deep regret welled up inside him. If he had gambled his entire fortune, the money in his hand would have doubled to twenty thousand two hundred coins.
I lost five thousand coins!
Zhou Qiuyuan suppressed his rising greed and once again divided the money in his hands equally, only adding Cao San's money as a variable, strictly adhering to the initial betting strategy.
Come again!
As expected, the third prediction resulted in the bet of 7,700 coins doubling again. With the remaining 7,500 coins, the total amount of money had increased to 22,900 coins.
"Dude, you're incredibly lucky!"
When Cao San saw that Zhou Qiuyuan had brought 10,000 coins, he thought he could earn a share of the profits. He planned to lend Zhou Qiuyuan money at exorbitant interest rates after he lost it all, thus making a double profit.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiuyuan won battle after battle, turning 10,100 coins into 22,900 coins, which was truly enviable.
This guy has such good luck!
If we bet along with him, wouldn't we also make a fortune?
No entry allowed!
As a member of the Green Snake Gang, Cao San was well aware of the cruelty of the casino, and thus remained restrained.
Twenty-two thousand nine hundred coins are enough to cover the tuition fees. However, once the tuition fees are paid, how many Vein Protection Pills can Zhou Qiuyuan buy with his two thousand nine hundred coins?
Body cultivators have considerable expenses, and when they have more money in the future, they will want to buy their own lightning spirit tool; naturally, the more money the better.
"The newbie was lucky, it was just a fluke. He might not be so lucky next time," Zhou Qiuyuan replied to Cao San, while taking out 11,700 coins and pushing them onto the gambling table.
"big!"
Seeing that Zhou Qiuyuan was on a winning streak, many gamblers began to imitate him.
The fourth attempt yielded the same result: his bet of 11,700 coins doubled again, and with the 11,200 coins he hadn't wagered, the total amount became 34,600 coins.
Three wins out of three, and the initial investment has more than tripled.
The gamblers who had made money by following the trend looked at Zhou Qiuyuan with bright smiles and their attitude became extremely eager, "Young man, thanks to you, which one will you bet on next time?"
Not only that, gamblers from other tables also came to join in, hoping to get a share of the good fortune.
Before Zhou Qiuyuan placed his bet, no one else in the room placed a bet.
Just as Zhou Qiuyuan was about to bet on "small," he withdrew his hand, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
As someone who has experienced the "dragon's breath" of the stock market, he naturally understands that the more frenzied the stock market is, the more dangerous it is.
If everyone follows you and wins money, who loses money?
Will Jucai Casino secretly interfere?
Once you lose half of your initial investment, you won't be able to raise the money to pay your tuition. To recover, you'll have to continue gambling, which will undoubtedly increase the uncertainty of your situation.
Gamblers who followed the trend and made money for themselves forgot Zhou Qiuyuan's kindness and only thought they had a keen eye for talent.
If they lose money... they'll assume Zhou Qiuyuan is a shill for the bookmakers and unanimously target him.
Not only did Zhou Qiuyuan fail to make any money, he also suffered an undeserved disaster.
In reality, there is no ability to endlessly experiment with the future in dreams. If he were to be surrounded and killed by gamblers who were blinded by greed, he would truly die with regrets.
After thinking it over, I decided to leave.
"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the outhouse." Zhou Qiuyuan clutched his stomach, looking like he was in pain. He quickly said to Cao San, "Keep an eye on this auspicious spot for me, we'll fight again when I get back."
After saying that, he left the gambling table in a hurry.
This statement gives the impression that he will continue to gamble, thereby reducing potential risks and allowing him to stay away from trouble.
Seeing that Zhou Qiuyuan had stopped betting, some gamblers pushed past Cao San and took over the "prime spots." Others, because Zhou Qiuyuan's palm had lingered on the small bet, also started betting on the small bet.
The fifth round of gambling began. After shaking the dice cup, the waiter shouted, "Big!"
Zhou Qiuyuan had just reached the entrance of the gambling den when he heard the result, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Did the betting situation change because of his influence?
Or is it a shady operation by the bookmaker?!
Zhou Qiuyuan dared to come to the gambling den to "withdraw money" because he had a certainty about him, but that certainty changed at some point.
Once certainty is lost, he is no different from an ordinary gambler; it's only a matter of time before he loses everything.
Fortunately, I managed to escape beforehand!
Zhou Qiuyuan dropped his pretense and sprinted away into the distance. He had already scouted the area in the future dream and prepared an escape route, heading straight into the distant alleyway with a clear objective.
Two figures pushed through the crowd and quickly chased after them.
A young man carrying a fortune of over 30,000 coins is truly tempting, and two gamblers who have lost everything want to try their luck with a risk-free scheme.
The two men had just left the gambling den and began searching around. There weren't many people on the street, and they couldn't find the thin figure; he had vanished without a trace.
Is this guy born in the Year of the Rabbit? He runs so fast!
They planned to stake out the casino; once that kid made money, he'd definitely come back.
We must catch him next time!
