Chapter 113: Foolish and rich, betting all the remaining 30,000 taels!

~8 min read 1,566 words

Don't ordinary people come to the gambling hall to win money?... Yuwen Ze was left stunned by Chen Yan's operation, full of disbelief, and confirmed, "Brother, are you sure you want to lose it all?"

"Certain and sure!"

Chen Yan heard this, tapped his palm with the stack of silver notes, and responded decisively.

He paused and added, "You are not allowed to leave until you lose it all; lose it for me with abandon!"

The confidence of a house-raiding demon.

For other families, 30,000 taels might be a lot, and losing it all might hurt their foundations...

But for Chen Yan, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Anyway, it was all business without capital; as long as the leeks were there, he could harvest them at will!

"That's great!"

Li Tan stared at the silver notes with shining eyes and began to rub his hands, "I, Old Li, just love this kind of task..."

He looked like he couldn't wait.

He, Li, just loved such perverted requirements.

With the house's dark box operations, winning was difficult, but wasn't losing easy?

There wasn't even a performance requirement; what a good task!

"Come, come, come, split it!"

"Let's go!"

Chen Yan smiled knowingly, pinched the silver notes in his hand, split them into two portions of similar thickness, and stuffed them straight into the two men's hands.

Inside Wangchuan Gambling Hall.

People came and went.

The voices of the house and the gamblers rose and fell.

"Place your bets!"

"Big, big, big!"

"Small, small, small!"

"It must be big!"

"Two, three, one, small!"

"Sigh~ lost again, damn it!"

"Again!"

Chen Yan, dressed in a flashy outfit, led Zhu Yi, Yuwen Ze followed by Lu Cangfeng, and Li Tan with his two guards, each went their separate ways.

What gorgeous attire... As soon as they entered the door, Li Fusheng, the gambling hall attendant, spotted Chen Yan and the other, made a judgment in his heart, and quickly greeted them with a face full of smiles, saying, "This young master looks unfamiliar; is this your first time at our Wangchuan Gambling Hall?"

He looked like a sycophant trying to build a connection.

(Gambling hall attendant: mainly responsible for receiving guests in the gambling hall, introducing the rules of various gambling games, and guiding guests to participate in gambling, etc.)

"Exactly."

Chen Yan shook the Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand, glanced sideways at Li Fusheng, examined the various gambling tables in the hall with great interest, and laughed, "First time in Chang'an; I've long heard of your gambling hall's fame, so I came specifically to see it for myself!"

"Don't disappoint me!"

Where his gaze swept, most were playing dice and Pai Gow, like Heaven Lever, Earth Lever, and ordinary card types, as well as pairs and single shots...

The variety really couldn't be considered much.

Chen Yan inexplicably began to miss the era of the Venetian merchants; there were too many ways to play, emerging one after another!

If there was a chance, he must give these guys a taste of Macau's shock.

After walking closer, Li Fusheng looked at Chen Yan's attire, which exuded an "upstart" aura, smiled even more sycophantically, and asked respectfully, "I wonder what the young master wants to play?"

"Too complex is very brain-consuming..."

Chen Yan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, closed the Xiangfei bamboo fan, pointed to a gambling table not far away, and said, "Let's just play dice and guess the points!"

"Good."

"Young master, please this way!"

Li Fusheng nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and then cleared the way in front.

Chen Yan scanned the distance, saw Yuwen Ze and Li Tan had already joined the gambling, and followed quickly.

Li Fusheng pushed away a few gamblers in the center of the table, made room for Chen Yan, and said enthusiastically, "Young master, let me introduce you; the odds for betting on three ones are one to ten!"

"The odds for betting on three twos are one to fifteen..."

Li Fusheng was introducing the rules in detail, but was interrupted by Chen Yan, who looked impatient: "Stop, stop, stop!"

"Just tell me directly which one has the highest odds!"

As he spoke, he tapped the folding fan on Li Fusheng's shoulder.

He grasped the image of an impatient and impetuous rich young master to perfection.

"It's betting on three sixes; the odds are one to fifty!"

Facing the big gold master, Li Fusheng didn't have the slightest anger and gave the desired answer immediately.

He paused and reminded thoughtfully, "But you must be cautious..."

Different points have different odds.

And the odds for consecutive numbers are higher, but the probability of shaking them out is also the smallest...

Especially three sixes; in the past half year, they had only been shaken out seven times, and no one had been able to bet on them exactly...

Chen Yan was immediately displeased, raised his eyebrows, and asked sharply, "Are you questioning my wealth, or questioning my luck?"

"Three sixes, bet 3,000 taels!"

Having said that, he pulled out three 1,000-tael silver notes almost out of spite and slapped them heavily on the gambling table.

He looked just like an irritable and scheming dandy from a high-ranking family.

"Where did this young master come from?"

Wang Shunchang, at the same table, witnessed this scene, especially Chen Yan's aggressive appearance, and couldn't help but ask his gambling friend beside him: "He actually dares to bet on three sixes right from the start?"

"What a brainless greenhorn!"

Having frequented gambling halls for so many years, he had seen almost every kind of freak...

But this was the first time he had seen such a fool who came in and charged straight for the highest odds.

Truly impulsive and stupid.

"Don't know, looks very unfamiliar, never seen him before..."

He Shouye looked at Chen Yan's handsome face, which was also effeminate due to makeup, couldn't help but shake his head, and guessed: "Perhaps the youngest son of some wealthy merchant from out of town!"

This kind of person who is rich and stupid is eight or nine times out of ten spoiled by his family...

Ma Qingan put his hand on Wang Shunchang's shoulder and mocked: "He looks like a fool with too much money..."

"When he loses everything, he'll know how serious it is!"

Just as a few people were whispering and discussing, the others at the gambling table didn't care about the new greenhorn and started placing their bets:

"One, four, five, bet 10 taels!"

"Two, five, six, bet 100 taels!"

"One, three, six, bet 20 taels!"

The reason why the odds for guessing points with dice are so high is that the success rate is lower than betting on big or small, and it is far lower.

But because the return rate is extremely high, human greed always leads people to take risks and seek this kind of excitement...

Under the gaze of everyone at the table, the dice shaker used an extremely skilled shaking technique to shake the dice cup, finally landed it on the table, and slowly revealed the final answer:

"Five, five, one!"

The dice shaker's voice sounded calm and unruffled.

"Damn it, wrong again!"

"Sigh, lost another 100 taels of silver!"

After the points were revealed, sounds of annoyance and regret rose immediately.

He Shouye pushed the sighing person, nudged his chin toward the expressionless Chen Yan, and teased: "Don't sigh; the one who lost 3,000 taels hasn't made a sound yet!"

"What do you have to be depressed about?"

Chen Yan turned a deaf ear to those sounds, stared intently at the dice, and said in a low voice, "Again!"

"Three sixes, bet 5,000 taels!"

As he spoke, he directly pulled out a 5,000-tael silver note and slapped it on the gambling table.

He looked just like someone who was undaunted by repeated setbacks and refused to admit defeat.

"Damn, didn't see that this guy was so stubborn!"

"And he's increasing his bet instead of decreasing it..."

Ma Qingan was shocked when he saw this and sighed.

Very unexpected.

Normal people would reduce their bets after losing at the start, but he didn't expect someone to actually increase them?!

"Look at his courage!"

"Let's follow too!"

Wang Shunchang smacked his lips, took out 10 taels of silver, and bet it.

"Four, one, two!"

The dice shaker's cup was revealed again, and Chen Yan's 5,000 taels were lost again.

"Three sixes, bet 5,000 taels!"

"Two, four, five!"

"Three sixes, bet 5,000 taels!"

"One, six, two!"

Just like an Elo mechanism, he kept losing, and the silver notes were returned to the house one by one.

"Damn it, this young master doesn't believe in this evil!" After another failure, Chen Yan slammed the Xiangfei bamboo fan on the table.

Gambling hall attendant Li Fusheng couldn't bear it anymore and kindly reminded, "This young master, you've already lost so much..."

"Do you still want to continue gambling?"

Who would have thought that Chen Yan, like a gambler with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said sharply, "Of course, I want to turn the tables!"

"8,000 taels... no, bet all the remaining 30,000 taels on me!"

"I want to win everything back in one round!"

"Still three sixes!"

That appearance was extremely crazy.

He was just going to stick with it... ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
