Tian Shijiu winked, and the manager of the casino immediately ran out to tell the great news to Tian Heng.
At this time, Tian Heng was in Xuanwu City, discussing something with Xu.
"I came up with the idea to play a few rounds, but I don't have any money with me. Can I borrow some?" Shen Lang asked.
"Yes, yes …" Tian Shijiu was even more excited.
I'm just worried that you won't lend anymore. It's best if you borrow ten thousand gold coins and then lose it all.
Then, Tian Heng would go to the Count House to collect the debt, and Shen Lang would be beaten to death by the Count.
"Can I borrow 1,000 gold coins first?" Shen Lang asked, "How much is the interest?"
"You are the most distinguished guest, so the annual interest is 10%," Tian Shijiu said.
The interest was already very low, but even if there was no interest, Tian Shijiu would still be willing to borrow, let alone 10%.
Otherwise, how could he have caused Shen Lang to die?
Anyway, the money could not be taken out of the casino, and the meat would be rotting in the pot.
"Alright, then write down the loan receipt. Write down the interest clearly as well," Shen Lang said.
"Okay, I will listen to you," Tian Shijiu said.
After the loan receipt was written, the 1,000 gold coins were placed in front of Shen Lang, and he changed them all into chips without saying a word.
Tian Shijiu said flatteringly, "Master Shen, what do you want to play?"
Shen Lang asked, "What is the simplest?"
"Betting on the size is the simplest," Tian Shijiu said.
"Okay, then let's bet on the size!" Shen Lang said.
Tian Shijiu immediately brought Shen Lang to the table for betting on the size.
At this time, he was enjoying the treatment of a celebrity. Many gamblers stopped gambling and came to watch.
"This is Shen Lang?"
"First, he became the son-in-law of the Xu family, then the son-in-law of the Count House."
"He is really handsome."
"I am also handsome. Why can't I go to the Count House and marry into their family?"
"I've known you for so long, but I've never realized that you're such a dishonest person. Didn't the toilet bowl tell you the truth when you pee?"
"Shen Lang dares to play in the casino? Is he courting death? Whether he wins or loses, the Count will break his legs! "
Shen Lang continued to ignore these words and said to the master on the gambling table, "Let's begin!"
Tian Shijiu nodded.
Facing a trash like Shen Lang, he didn't even bother to cheat.
The master behind the gambling table began to shake the dice. After about half a minute, he slammed the dice onto the table.
"Big or small?"
Three dice. Below nine points was small, and above nine points was big.
Shen Lang used his X-ray vision to take a look and easily read out the points inside.
13 points!
"Big!" Shen Lang pushed out all of his 1000 gold chips.
All of a sudden, everyone became excited.
Awesome! You're playing so big in your first round?
Shen Lang had borrowed a thousand gold coins, yet he had bet it all on him.
The other gamblers stopped playing and held their breaths to watch the show.
It was too exciting.
"Leave after you've made your bets," the master said.
"Open, open, open …"
The master of the gambling table suddenly opened the lid.
13 points!
Shen Lang won!
"He actually won."
"This Shen Lang is truly a lucky bastard. He won a thousand gold coins in the first round."
The spectating gamblers were extremely excited.
However, Tian Shijiu's expression didn't change. He was still smiling.
This was completely based on luck. It was nothing.
To be honest, Tian Shijiu was worried that Shen Lang would lose the first round. If that was the case, he might stop playing.
Only by letting him taste the sweetness of winning a few times, would he continue to win.
Winning the first round was the beginning of a gambler's tragedy.
The second round was still about big or small.
The master of the gambling table began to shake the dice. His expression was already very solemn. After shaking for a full minute, he slammed the dice onto the table.
Of course, this was just to increase the sense of ceremony. It made the gamblers feel even more pressured.
However, for Shen Lang, the result would be the same even if he shook it for a hundred minutes.
Shen Lang used his X-ray vision again. It was still big, 15 points.
"Big!"
Shen Lang pushed out all the chips of 2000 gold coins.
This time, almost everyone in the audience couldn't breathe properly.
Was this son-in-law of the Count House crazy? Why did he play so big?
And Tian Shijiu's expression changed slightly.
If Shen Lang won again this time, it would be 4000 gold coins.
Even for Tian Heng, this was a very large number.
This gambling house was so magnificent, but the net profit of a month would not exceed 2000 gold coins.
4000 gold coins was equivalent to more than 10 million yuan on modern Earth. (The value of the gold coins, slightly corrected at the front)
The hands of the master of the gambling table were trembling a little.
"Open, open, open …"
The master of the gambling table suddenly opened the lid.
15 points, big!
Shen Lang won again!
4000 gold coins in hand!
All the onlookers were completely excited.
4000 gold coins was an astronomical figure.
It was enough for them to not eat or drink for a few lifetimes.
And Tian Shijiu's expression changed dramatically.
This Shen Lang was really crazy. No matter how much he won, he would push it.
This was the gambling house's biggest loss in the past two or three years.
It was extremely rare for ordinary gamblers to lose 400 or 500 gold coins. They were all rich foreign guests.
He couldn't let Shen Lang win anymore. Tian Shijiu wanted to play himself.
And once he played, Shen Lang would definitely lose!
Tian Shijiu smiled and said, "Come on, Master Shen, I will personally shake the dice for you."
He was a master of shaking the dice. If he wanted it to be big, it would be big, and if he wanted it to be small, it would be small.
This was not a big deal.
The most amazing thing was that after he shook the dice and put it on the table, he could change the number of points.
Tian Shijiu was the only one in the entire gambling house who knew this skill. That was why he became Tian Heng's adopted son and the manager of the gambling house.
…
Shen Lang understood that the other party was ready to cheat.
"No, no, no …" Shen Lang laughed and said, "I suddenly don't want to play big or small. It's all about luck. There's no technical content. I'm going to play Pai Gow."
Tian Shijiu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you are the master. You can play whatever you want. We will play Pai Gow."
How could he let Shen Lang go?
If his adopted father knew that he not only didn't cheat Shen Lang to death, but also won 4000 gold coins, he would definitely skin him alive.
His gambling skills were extremely good. Otherwise, he would not become Tian Heng's adopted son and become the master of Fugui House.
In Xuanwu City, Tian Shijiu could be said to be unrivaled in gambling skills.
Especially in a game like Pai Gow, which required a certain technical content. He could even close his eyes and let Shen Lang win, even pawn his underwear.
Therefore, it had to be possible.
If it was big or small, it was all about luck.
But playing Pai Gow required a certain technical content. At least, it needed to judge the opponent's size, whether to follow, and psychological tactics and so on.
In short, Tian Shijiu was absolutely sure that he could win Shen Lang all his money with his eyes closed.
Tian Shijiu could easily recognize the points from the back of the cards, because each card had a mark, but the mark was very obscure.
Shen Lang said he wanted to play Pai Gow, but it was completely suicide.
He must make him lose all his money, and then borrow money to owe him ten or twenty thousand gold coins.
In this way, in order not to pay back the money, the Count House could only expel Shen Lang from their house and cut off their relationship.
Of course, that also meant that Shen Lang would definitely die.
…
The rules of playing Pai Gow in this world were very simple, much simpler than on Earth.
It was to put 32 Pai Gow cards upside down on the table.
Everyone drew two cards, and according to the meaning of the cards, the winner and loser would be decided!
There was no need to shake the dice to draw cards. They could draw two cards at will, and then compare the number of cards.
Among them, the Joker card was the largest. D3 with 2 and 4 was equivalent to 3 plus 9. Although the points of each card were small, the combination was the largest.
The next largest combination was the two Heaven cards, followed by the two Earth cards.
There was no need to elaborate on the rules, anyway, it was not important.
Just as they were about to start, Shen Lang suddenly said, "I don't trust your cards. You send someone to buy a new set of cards. I can only continue gambling after I check it!"
When he said this, Tian Shijiu frowned slightly.
Each of the cards in use now had a cryptic code that he could recognize from the back.
"If you can't do it, then I'm leaving. Please exchange the 4000 gold coins." Shen Lang got up and left.
"Don't, don't, don't …" Tian Shijiu said, "Buy, buy, buy new cards."
How could he bear to let Shen Lang leave now? If Shen Lang left, he would be finished.
Then, Tian Shijiu instructed a shop assistant, "You go and buy ten new Pai Gow. Remember, don't buy them in my shop."
The shop assistant didn't say anything and rushed out to buy ten new Pai Gow.
After buying them, Shen Lang used his X-ray vision to check them. Six of the new cards didn't have codes.
He chose the most normal Pai Gow without any codes. The internal texture and density were very uniform. There was no possibility of cheating.
"I'll take this set." Shen Lang pointed at it casually.
"Okay."
Tian Shijiu didn't care. He was the number one gambling master in Xuanwu City. He was invincible. Even if he didn't cheat, he would definitely win!
The gambling between the two of them officially began!
"Why don't you draw a card first?" Shen Lang said.
Tian Shijiu nodded and drew two cards from the 32 cards.
Shen Lang easily saw his cards through his X-ray vision.
Tian Shijiu's luck was good. It was two Plum Blossom cards, which was the sixth largest of all the combinations.
"100 gold coins." Tian Shijiu pushed out his chips.
Since Tian Shijiu was the sixth largest combination, then Shen Lang drew the fifth largest card of all the combinations, Double Sum.
Moreover, he directly put it on the table without even looking at it.
"1,000 gold coins!" Shen Lang pushed out his chips.
He really had the demeanor of the God of Gambling.
Everyone saw that Shen Lang didn't even look at his cards and directly pushed out his chips. Moreover, it was 1,000 gold coins. They couldn't help but exclaim.
It was really a big gamble. They had never seen such a big scene.
Tian Shijiu hesitated for a while. His cards were very large. He could fight.
"I'll follow with 1,000 gold coins!"
"Reveal!"
The two of them revealed their cards. Shen Lang won!
Tian Shijiu broke out in a cold sweat!
However …
This was just the beginning!
What followed was his nightmare!
It was an unprecedented nightmare.
Because Shen Lang didn't look at his cards in every round. He directly pushed out 1,000 gold coins as chips.
Then …
He kept winning, winning, and winning!
He won until Tian Shijiu trembled all over. He felt cold all over his body. He felt dizzy and doubted his life.
Oh my god!
