EBE Chapter 52 Linkan
Chapter 52 Linkan
Xiaoyue stepped forward helplessly, her left hand trembling slightly as she held three dice, while her right hand carefully picked up the dice cup as if it were a precious treasure.
She placed the three dice inside, shook them gently with both hands, and then, as if holding a bomb, slammed the dice cup face down on the table.
Suddenly, a die flew out of the dice cup like a mischievous monkey, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The sound of the dice hitting the ground was like a sharp sword piercing the eardrums of everyone present, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat.
Why can you hear the sound of dice hitting the ground even when there are so many people in the gambling den?
That's right, not a single person dared to make a sound, not even a fart.
Once the dice stopped rolling, one of the gambling den's henchmen, being quick-witted, picked up the dice, placed them in front of Xiaoyue, and then retreated.
(He was scared too; there were so many adults around, and he was just a nobody.)
At this moment, Yun Dan spoke up.
"Hmm, Master Lü, your subordinate is not bad. He has good judgment. You can train him a bit."
When Master Lü heard Yun Dan say this, he nodded without saying anything.
When the subordinate heard Yun Dan say this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He simply couldn't believe that Miss Lin would recommend him to Master Lü.
He never imagined that because of Yun Dan's words today, his future would be so bright, and he would talk about this day with everyone he met.
In his own words, "Miss Lin is my number one benefactor."
Of course, that's a story for another time, so we won't go into it here.
Let's turn our attention back to the casinos.
"Xiaoyue, don't be nervous. Let's try again. Don't be afraid."
Yun Dan comforted Xiao Yue, but Xiao Yue's hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Xiaoyue shook the dice cup again, then quickly slammed it down.
Ah... that's it now, no dice flew out.
"Please get down," Yun Dan said to Lin Kan.
"500 taels for a small bet."
As Lin Kan spoke, he slapped the silver note in his hand onto the smaller spot.
Xiaoyue slowly removed the dice cup; the result was 223.
"Haha... I thought he was really something, but I still managed to beat him."
When Xiaoyue heard him say that he had won, she remembered the five hundred taels of silver on the table and was so frightened that she quickly ran behind Yundan to hide.
(Reader: Sister Yue, have you forgotten that you know martial arts? Let alone five hundred coins, even fifty thousand taels of silver would be nothing to you.)
“Little girl, five...five...five hundred taels! We...we lost five hundred taels.”
"I only have a dozen or so taels of silver on me, what should we do?" Xiaoyue asked Yundan tremblingly.
"Xiaoyue, what are you afraid of? It's just five hundred taels of silver, why are you so afraid?"
With your current abilities, let alone five hundred taels, you could ask for fifty thousand taels of gold and someone would bring it to you.
Yun Dan only mentioned a small portion of what she gave her, including the pills she had received.
Even selling one for 1000 taels would be considered too little.
“Miss Yue, it’s alright. Don’t worry, our gambling house will pay the mere five hundred taels,” Lü Tianba said.
Yun Dan took out a small stack of papers from her bosom, counted out five sheets, and placed them in front of Lin Kan.
Yun Dan: "Alright, I'll do it. Do you still want to play?"
Lin Kan: "I've been waiting for you, hurry up and shake it."
Yun Dan placed the dice into the dice cup, picked up the dice cup, and spun it in her palm.
Everyone was amazed to see that Yun Dan could still spin the dice cup in her hand even though she wasn't holding it.
Lin Kan was the only one who stared blankly, his eyes unable to move.
Then Yun Dan placed the dice cup face down on the table, indicating to Lin Kan to place his bet.
Linkan: "Five hundred taels"
Yun Dan removed the dice cup, and saw that the dice were stacked into a "品" shape, with a 2 on top.
Yun Dan: "Sorry, my nipples are small."
Lin Kan: "You..."
"What, can't accept defeat?"
"Okay, let's do it again."
Yun Dan spun around again and closed the lid.
"Let's get off."
"Five hundred taels of silver."
Same configuration, same recipe.
After several rounds, regardless of whether Lin Kan bet on big or small, the numbers that came out were always the opposite.
"Wait a minute, this round will decide the winner directly, just like the last time you played with Lü Tianba. This time we'll see who's younger," Lin Kan said angrily.
"can."
Then one of his men brought over a dice cup.
Lin Kan: "Let's begin, you go first."
Yun Dan didn't make any fancy moves this time. She simply picked up the dice cup, shook it a few times in the air, and then slammed it onto the table.
Smiling, he said to Lin Kan, "It's your turn."
Lin Kan went through a whole bunch of fancy, cool, and professional techniques, and it was quite a while before he finally slammed it onto the table, by which time Yun Dan was almost asleep.
"Go ahead." "You go first."
Yun Dan picked up the dice cup and threw it behind her. There was nothing else on the table except a small pile of powder.
"Alright, that's enough playing with you for today. You don't need to pay back the two thousand; consider it as me giving face to Master Lü."
"Haha... Miss Lin is so generous, thank you." Seeing Lin Kan suffer a setback was the happiest thing for Lü Tianba.
Then he turned to look at Lin Kan and said, "You bastard, how about it? Are you convinced now?"
Lin Kan glanced at Lü Tianba, then at Yun Dan.
"Hmph... Let's go." He turned and left without even taking the two thousand taels of silver notes on the table. His men, seeing that he hadn't taken them, picked them up for him and chased after him.
Yun Dan shook her head at the sight.
The farce ended just like that. Yun Dan and Xiao Yue followed Lü Tianba to Junzilou and enjoyed a delicious meal. Even Xiao Yue ate her fill.
It was more than an hour later before they left the restaurant.
When saying goodbye to Lü Tianba, Lü Tianba was still reluctant to part, wishing he could chat with Yun Dan for days and nights.
After saying goodbye to Lü Tianba, the two went for a stroll to digest their food.
"Little girl, I was just about to ask you this. You were only 10 years old two years ago, right? How did you defeat Master Lü at the gambling den back then?" Xiaoyue asked Yundan.
"Yes, I was a little curious at the time, so I tried it out with my mental cultivation technique after I went in."
"I discovered I could tell the difference between the dice rolls and won several thousand taels of silver. That's how I got to know Master Lü," Yun Dan said.
Xiaoyue: "Master Lü is not a bad person. Although he runs a gambling den, he does not bully the people."
"Those gamblers are the ones I hate. I was just about to ask Master Lü if he could shut down the gambling den and stop them from gambling."
Yun Dan wasn't angry when she heard Xiao Yue say that; instead, she started to teach Xiao Yue.
"Xiaoyue, you should know that even if Master Lü doesn't run the casino, he's willing to close it down."
But there will always be a second Zhang Tianba or a third Li Tianba who opens a casino, so it doesn't matter who opens it in the end.
Neither of them would be as good as Lü Tianba running it, because you don't know if Zhang Tianba or Li Tianba will do a better or worse job than Lü Fangzhu, right?
Yun Dan could only guide Xiao Yue in this way, even though the people of Sujia Village were kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see human suffering.
Ke Yundan felt that she should be taught and guided, so that she would know whether she wanted someone whose good or bad was unknown, or someone whose good or bad was known to her.
Yun Dan also felt that she was still young; in her previous life, she would have been studying at the age of 13.
The two returned to the restaurant, where the things that Lu Tianba's men had bought that day were all stored. Yun Dan simply took half of the items and put them in her spatial storage.
Anyway, I'll be riding back tomorrow, which will take half a day, and it'll be a hassle to carry too much.
The next day, when Xiao Er woke up, he was terrified to see that Yun Dan was carrying so many things that he was missing. After Yun Dan started talking nonsense and making up stories, Xiao Er finally felt relieved.
