Chapter 271 (2/2)
Some gamblers were laughing, while others had all become red-eyed. Even if they were highly cultivated, they were all too excited and nervous, making their faces red and their sweat flowing profusely.
He had even seen someone pawn a dao artifact.
The price was at least twice as much.
”Oh, I didn't expect there would be so many ways to play.”
He found that there were many ways to play here, in addition to the usual cards, dominoes, mahjong, and various gambling modes.
Just then, someone tapped Lin Fan's back.
”Brother, is this your first time here?”
Lin Fan looked back. A man with a thief's eyebrow and a rat's eye greeted him with a nasty smile.
”Well, it's my first time here.” Lin Fan said.
The man said, ”Brother, the first time here is always good. I've been here for a long time; my name is Shi Laoshu.
What I like the most is to deal with people who come here for the first time, because first-timers often have special luck.
I've seen many people come for the first time and then win everything… Why don't I show you around?”
Lin Fan smiled and asked, ”That's not necessary. Although it's my first time here, I'm familiar with this place. I want to ask you, do you know that person?”
He pointed to the distance, sitting there roaring at Ye Dong.
”He…” Shi Laoshu was about to say what he knew, but his eyes averted. He touched his chin, showing his difficulty, ”This…”
Lin Fan took out ten spirit stones, ”Don't be too scared. I was just asking about the situation.”
When Shi Laoshu saw the ten spirit stones, he brightened up and hurriedly put the spirit stones into his pocket, ”I know. I've been coming here a lot in the last month. Usually, I stay for four or five days. I heard that he is a core disciple of the Greatest Martial Sect. His bet is big; that amount of spirit stones can smash me to death.”
”It's useless to envy. He is a core disciple of a major sect, so he must be rich. But he's a bit unlucky. To put it simply, he's fallen for the trap. He's already lost nearly ten million spirit stones and even mortgaged out his essential dao artifact…”
”…This time, he brought another million spirit stones. I wonder which idiot lent it to him. It's not like a meat bun fighting a dog; there's no going back.” Shi Laoshu didn't know that the fool he was talking about was the one in front of him.
”Ten million spirit stones…” Lin Fan squinted his eyes. He didn't expect that Ye Dong had such wealth.
However, when he thought about it, it did make a sense. Ye Dong was mortgaging his essential dao artifact and all the valuable ones on his body; it was indeed worth that amount.
Also, it was hard to say whether he had borrowed any spirit stones from outside.
”Oh, it seems like a big gamble. Who opened this casino in this mountain range? The visitors are all disciples of the immortal and demon sects. It looks like they didn't fear any problems.” Lin Fan asked.
Shi Laoshu shook his head, ”I don't know exactly who opened it, but I heard that the visitors are big backgrounds. No one would dare to cause trouble here.”
Forget it. Lin Fan didn't really care who opened it.
He was going to see now what kind of explanation Ye Dong was prepared to give him.
”I have no more business with you. So, go.” Lin Fan waved his hand and drove the Shi Laoshu away.
Shi Laoshu's head was muddled, and he felt that the ten spirit stones were too easy to earn.
Also, what was the other person's deal?
He was somewhat clueless.
………….
Lin Fan arrived at the table where Ye Dong had fought. Now there were spirit stones in front of Ye Dong, glowing brightly. There were quite a lot of them, causing the crowd to gawk at them.
What they liked to see most was this kind of heroic gamblingꟷa handful of spirit stones was an amount they didn't even dare to think about.
This was nine out of ten gambles.
Lin Fan didn't even want to say anything, nor did he want to find out anything. He just knew that if Ye Dong continued to play like this, it was basically giving food to others.
At the same time, Ye Dong was playing the simplest guessing of single or double.
A small stone was placed on the table, in contrast to the precious spirit stones that could be won.
”Single, I said single.”
Ye Dong had forgotten about himself and pushed out the spirit stone in front of him. He then got up and slapped the table, ”I, Ye Dong, don't believe that in five consecutive rounds, he got a double.”
”This round, I'm going to win back all that I've lost.”
The surrounding people all cocked their heads and stared at the table.
The amount that Ye Dong played in this hand was over fifty spirit stones. It really was a terrifying and extreme bet.
”Open!”
”Sorry, it's a double again, six in a row.”
When Ye Dong saw such a result, not only were his eyes red, even his neck was red. His veins were even more coiled up, like tree roots.
”How is this possible?”
He gripped the table-top with both hands deadly. His eyes were staring round, not daring to look at the scene before him.
The spirit stones that were initially piled up in front of him had already been taken away by the other side.
The millions of spirit stones he was going to smash in a short period had been won out. He really couldn't swallow that.
”I'm a core disciple of the Greatest Martial Sect. I want to borrow a spirit stone; who will lend me?”
Lin Fan, who was standing behind him, stretched out his hand and pressed it towards Ye Dong's back. He then fiercely pressed it downward.
Ye Dong's face slammed into the table.
Bang!
Crack!
The table-top crumbled, and the spirit stones placed on it spilled all over the floor. The people around them retreated backward as if they were frightened.
”I lent you a million spirit stones. Is this what you're using it for?” Lin Fan felt the need to teach Ye Dong a good lesson.
Although this guy was an untrustworthy person.
But… at least he was a fellow disciple.
Also, Lin Fan considered himself to be a senior brother.
There was a need to teach the disobedient core disciple a good lesson.
