Chapter 210 The Winning Strategy of the Iwakami Tea House
Another demon-god-level figure is naturally Beidou.
When Xu Ning returned to Liyue Harbor, he passed by Wangshu Inn and learned from Huai'an that Beidou had led a team to Inazuma.
Although it will still take quite some time for Hokuto to return from Inazuma, she will eventually reach the shore. I wonder what her attitude will be towards her relationship with Ningguang then.
If he were to get angry and beat himself up, he was initially somewhat confident that he could defeat Beidou. However, after seeing Ningguang's strength, he suddenly became less confident.
Let's focus on the selection process for Tian Shu Star first, and then think about other things.
According to Gan Yu, there are at least three more days until the deadline for submitting the planning documents. Theoretically, as long as all four people participating in the selection submit their planning documents, they can proceed to the next evaluation stage.
But someone will eventually take such an important matter seriously and hand in their paper at the last minute, so Xu Ning estimates that he will have to wait.
After saying goodbye to Gan Yu, Xu Ning strolled around the vicinity of Yujingtai with his wine gourd in hand, and then wandered to the vicinity of the Yanshang Tea House.
"Hey, what a fool! Does he even know where he is? How dare he wander in like this?"
Xu Ning was walking to the door and about to step inside when he heard a harsh rebuke.
A girl in a hostess uniform stood to one side with her eyes wide open and arms crossed, looking as if she was about to call for a fight at the slightest provocation.
Xu Ning smiled. "Who do we have here? It's none other than the 'Arrogant at First, Respectful at Second' Chu Yi Zhenjun!"
"What? Isn't this a casino? Can't I go in and play a couple of rounds?"
As a hostess at the Rock Tea House, Chu Yi had seen many high-ranking officials and nobles who came to play cards there, but someone of Xu Ning's age was extremely rare.
Chu Yi sneered, "Oh, looks like you know your stuff. Since you're here, you must have been prepared. How much money did you bring?"
How much money do I have?
Xu Ning really didn't have much of an idea. Anyway, after the battle with the Demon God at Tianheng Mountain, when Ningguang was making safety reserves for her cave, she put a box about half a person's height inside, which was filled with large denominations of Mora.
However, apart from food, I haven't found anything particularly expensive, and I haven't spent much Mora so far.
Just then, Chu Yi said impatiently, "Alright, alright, if you have so much free time, why don't you go see a play or go to a restaurant? Don't stand here in the way. Hurry up and leave, or I'll call the bodyguards to take you out..."
Before Chu Yi could finish speaking, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses suddenly rushed out of the house. "Oh my god, shut up! Do you want to drive away the God of Wealth?"
The middle-aged man bowed to Xu Ning and apologized with a smile, saying, "I'm so sorry, the doorman was ill-mannered and offended you, sir. Please don't take it to heart."
As the man reached out to lead Xu Ning inside, he turned to Chu Yi and said fiercely, "You don't even know how to recognize people. I'll teach you a lesson when I have time."
It was called a teahouse, but it was actually a casino inside.
Tea is naturally provided, but when people get into a gambling mood, they often forget to drink it, so it becomes just a side dish.
Inside, there is a large hall where most people are gambling on dice, and some are playing dominoes. The equipment is simple, but the ways to play are varied, with more than a dozen tables.
The person who led Xu Ning was the owner of the Yanshang Tea House.
"It is an honor for Lord Xu to grace my humble abode with his presence today. The main hall is noisy. Why don't you go up to the private room on the second floor? I can arrange for you to have some eye-catching dealers with you."
Xu Ning shook his head and smiled.
"What's the point of playing in a small room? If I wanted to play that kind of game, I wouldn't be afraid of not finding people. It's only fun playing around in this hall with everyone!"
Xu Ning's words were overheard by a young man who had just started learning.
The man laughed heartily and said, "Haha, what this friend said really hit the nail on the head."
The teahouse owner glanced at the young man, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Young Master Zhong, you're here to have fun again today!"
The man called Young Master Zhong tapped the boss on the shoulder and said arrogantly, "I've lost a lot of Mora here, but I thought about it all night yesterday and finally came up with a sure-fire way to make you go bankrupt. Believe it or not, don't say you didn't have any Mora to pay me back."
The boss smirked and said, "Casino owners aren't afraid of losing money. Young Master Zhong, please feel free to gamble. I'd rather sell my house than be short of half a Mora."
After the boss finished speaking, he turned to Xu Ning and said, "Please feel free to play, sir. If you need anything, just let me know."
Xu Ning nodded reservedly and said, "You're busy."
Young Master Zhong seemed to be a boastful person. He smiled at Xu Ning and said, "Do you believe I'll make the boss come crying to me in a moment? Come on, this is the first time I'm using my ultimate killing technique today. After today, everyone in Liyue will know about it. If you want to witness a miracle, come with me!"
Xu Ning was also curious about what this guy had up his sleeve, so he followed him to a table where people played dice.
The table was very simple, with a dealer and a dice cup.
The platform is divided into two sides by a line in the middle, with "Big" written on one side and "Small" on the other.
The gambling method is also incredibly simple: a single die, one, two, and three are considered low, and four, five, and six are considered high. Once you place your bet, the outcome is immediately clear after the die is rolled.
The odds are 1 to 1, you win whatever you bet, and the house takes all the losses. It's simple, convenient, and easy to understand.
This young master Zhong must be a regular at this casino. Whether it's the dealers or some gamblers, they all greeted him and made room for him.
Xu Ning benefited from his success and also got a position close to the center.
Young Master Zhong casually tossed a Mora coin worth 10,000 to the larger side, then explained to Xu Ning, "You should know the rules, right? It doesn't matter whether you choose the larger or smaller coin; it's purely a gamble."
Xu Ning smiled dismissively. The rules were indeed based on luck, but once the dice cup passed through someone's hands, things could change.
Young Master Zhong thought Xu Ning had taken his words to heart, and continued, "So, as long as you choose a position and keep betting, you will eventually win."
Xu Ning ignored what the guy was trying to say and asked, "I understand the logic, but I'm afraid I'll have bad luck and only win once every two losses. Wouldn't that still be losing? How does that sure-win killer technique you mentioned work?"
Young Master Zhong laughed and said, "You've already come close to the right answer. All you need to do next is break your betting habits and you'll be invincible."
"Think about it carefully. As long as every bet you place exceeds the sum of all the previous bets, you will always be the winner at this gambling table."
"Losing a few rounds doesn't matter. As long as you win one, you can get back all the losses you've made, plus interest. How could you possibly lose?"
