Chapter 1378 Chapter 1378 - Lake Erie (1/2)

Human beings have a gambling spirit in their bones, which is natural. Since ancient times, the richer and more powerful people were, the more they liked gambling because they had more opportunities to show their wealth.

Of course, betting was not only about money. Choosing an alliance or acting upon a surmised financial prediction were gambles of a certain kind as well.

Li Du also has a gambling spirit, but the existence of the space-time bug made most of the things lose their mystery. For example, during a warehouse auction, he could choose his warehouses with confidence and the final result was not a surprise.

Thus, his gambling spirit was suppressed, and life and work were getting a bit predictable.

Therefore, last night when he saw the casino, he wanted to go in and play a few games. Earning money was not the main objective. In addition, he didn't want to cheat the whole time with his little bug. He wanted to win or lose by luck for once.

As a result, the casino turned him away, and his expectations were disappointed again. Today, the supermarket staff came to look for trouble, openly discriminating against Chinese people, so that he found the perfect opportunity to vent.

Moreover, it was a gamble today, with some unknown factors, such as whether the manager would agree to bet against him, and whether the ripeness of the watermelons would be the same.

In the end, he won the game. The bet was small, but Li Du loved playing. Of course, he still used some tricks. The first six watermelons had natural differences in ripeness, but the latter two damaged ones were the result of absorbing time energy by the space-time bugs.

The two watermelons themselves were bad, but not so very bad as to be completely rotten. The rotting was enhanced by the space-time bug, making the scene even more dramatic.

Sophie looked at the manager and smiled wryly. ”If you had apologized earlier, the situation would not get this bad.”

Not just Chinese people would buy watermelons, of course. Therefore, the warning written in Chinese was a provocation to the Chinese people. The management was asking for trouble, and Li Du has taught them a lesson.

He did not care about the rest of the matter and beckoned for Brother Wolf and the others to leave. ”Come, let's go shopping.”

Meanwhile, a crowd of onlookers gathered around the manager of the produce section to question him about what was going on.

The issue was getting out of hand. The general manager of the supermarket and a few people in charge had to come forward, doing their best to calm the agitated crowd.

Big Quinns said, ”They might refuse to sell us things now.”

Godzilla clenched his fists and retorted, ”I'd like to see them try!”

Li Du smiled and said, ”I would love to see this, but they won't dare to mess with us. First, who would dare to provoke us when we have people like you? Second, if they refuse us, I will sue them. Third, the produce section isn't a big deal.”

When he was ready to leave, he turned around and added, ”Go and bring some watermelons, the good ones I picked out. We will eat them by the lake.”

The resort Carpenter helped them find was right next to Lake Erie, with a pier jutting into the lake. There was plenty of food and drink, but people could bring their own. Since Cleveland was not big on restaurants, most people ended up eating at the resort.
