Chapter 0004, Song's Medical Center(1/2)
() After Song Lian inquired about several things clearly, he went back to his room and picked up the white turtle skin, preparing to raise funds. As soon as he arrived at the hall, three conscientious notaries immediately followed him like followers.
He frowned and walked back.
"Xiao Er, prepare dry food for me for two more days. This miracle doctor suddenly has an inspiration."
This was deliberately told to the three paparazzi because they planned to secretly gamble. The waiter said that the person involved could not enter the casino and had to see it in person to confirm. In order to prevent the three followers from doing bad things, they closed the door again to thank the guests.
In fact, he called the waiter and threatened him with "I want to make a bet with you". He changed into the waiter's clothes, walked through the inner hall and slipped out of the back door.
After leaving the inn, I realized how desolate the Xiao Mansion forbidden area was. Half of the ten shops were closed and collapsed. There were only a few pedestrians in the nearby area, only some pedestrians taking shortcuts passed by in a hurry.
This saves a lot of trouble, at least no one will doubt it.
Gradually, the market began to become more prosperous, and soon we saw the first casino.
This casino was one of the casinos that bet on whether he and Mo Yang Tao would win or lose. There was a big white cloth on the front of the casino. The first line read "Song Divine Doctor vs. Tao Sanjiang." Then there was a big word below, and a line of small words next to it, "Song Divine Doctor Wins".
Pay 65%. If Tao Sanjiang wins, pay 25%.
"The difference is so big, I don't believe we will lose, just wait and see" he waved his fist at the sky.
Looking further down, there is a small word, which says that the miracle doctor Song will pay you two for one day; the miracle doctor Song will pay three for two days..., and finally it will be eight for seven days.
Song Lian was puzzled. He grabbed a person who was coming out of the casino dejectedly and asked. The man was very impatient and waved his hand and said: "You can't go in and ask yourself, stupid. The guy named Song hasn't come out for seven days."
It turned out that he was betting that he wouldn't leave the inn for a few days, so he could use it as a bet. He shook his head and said, "If you knew that I was already shopping, haha... This bet will pay you eight for one, but it's a pity that I don't have any money now."
After sighing for a while, he continued to move forward.
The capital is in the cloth bag, and the white horse skin is all the wealth.
But the pawn shop kept the price very low, three stones for three weeks, one profit. The white horse skin was pawned in exchange for three spiritual stones, and the period was three weeks. If the white horse skin was not returned after the expiration date, it would be returned to the pawn shop. If it was returned, one dollar would be deducted.
Profit money.
Now I am eager to spend money, so I gritted my teeth and took the plunge.
After getting the money, he did not rush to bet, but found an ironworks workshop.
"What do you need, young guest? This is not for me, an old man from the Song Dynasty, to brag. The craftsmanship is passed down from our ancestors."
Song Lian almost laughed out loud and said: "Xiao Ke, my boss needs a stainless steel needle, so thin, so long -" he said the need through gestures and gestures, and then added, "It must be smooth and tough."
Old man Song blinked his eyes and after listening, he still looked at Song Lian without saying a word.
"Xiao Ke also has the surname Song. The wealth does not go to outsiders. How much does it cost?"
"What is stainless steel?"
Old Man Song finally choked out a sentence.
Song Lian immediately felt his heart pounding, thinking that this world of cultivating immortals might not have stainless steel, so he hurriedly said: "An alloy of two metals."
"Go, go, boy, are you here to entertain me, old man? If you want alloys, go to the weapon-refining monk. Old man only has iron tools here."
Song Lian kept scratching his head, looking for a monk? OK, looking for a monk.
After walking a lot, I finally saw a weapon-refining shop with the word "Qi" hanging on it.
Only monks can refine weapons, but the price is ridiculously expensive. A shopkeeper who looked like a monk slowly listened to the request and held out three fingers.
"Three thousand silver taels?" Song Lian gritted his teeth and made a bold estimate.
The shopkeeper showed contempt and said lightly: "Three stones." Then he turned around and ignored him.
Song Lian was dumbfounded.
The price is too outrageous. They are just seven silver needles used for acupuncture. What a money grab.
Of course, this cannot be said. He sighed: "Shopkeeper, can you--"
The shopkeeper didn't even raise his head and said calmly: "It's very thin, too thin, unusually thin. Send guests off."
Song Lian turned around and left.
I scolded the guy next door for cultivating immortals and refining weapons, bah.
However, when his feet could no longer walk, he could no longer smoke. It was at this price, and one of the more enthusiastic people said to him: "Unless you go to Shazhou, the price is in Moyang City."
I don't know if a spirit animal skin for three stones is enough to open a small clinic. It seems that I have to find another way to use the silver needles for acupuncture. I can go to the casino and multiply this money seven times.
When he turned around to the first casino, it was already dusk and the casino was about to close, so he headed inside.
There was a buzz, something strange was coming, and a wall of air blocked him.
Are you really not letting me bet?
I don't believe it!
Just as this thought occurred, another strange thing happened. A flaming screwdriver flashed above my head, but there was no gambling ring as the waiter mentioned.
The screwdriver seemed to be jumping.
At this time, a silver ingot appeared in the sky above the casino, shining brightly and covering the entire casino at once, blocking Song Lian again.
Song Lian frowned, could it really be impossible to get in?
As he thought this, the screwdriver above his head dimmed.
This is?
The next moment, he seemed to have caught something. He closed his eyes and said to himself, I want to go in and bet, and bet three stones that Divine Doctor Song will leave the inn before the end of the day...
Repeat it over and over again, and miracles will happen.
The screwdriver above his head seemed to have taken a big tonic, and he suddenly became excited. When Song Lian opened his eyes and was about to take a step to force his way in, Tuo rushed towards the silver ingot mask.
Song Lian's heart was shaken, and his brain seemed to have been stabbed by something. He groaned in pain and sat on the ground. Because of this "oops", the thoughts in his heart subsided, and the screwdriver was withdrawn and slowly dimmed.
I see.
At this moment, three people suddenly appeared in the sky above the casino, shouting at Song Lian and asking: "Who are you? But you triggered the casino's divine will?"
"Ah, no, no. That person left, and I accidentally fell while watching the excitement." Song Lian knew that the bet was unsuccessful. If no one came to stop him, he might be able to force his way in with his mind.
Get up from the ground and leave in a hurry.
On the way, he thought of another question: "It's weird, why is my ring-betting instrument different from what the waiter said? There seems to be no gambling ring, only a screwdriver. Why?"
When I got back to the inn, I immediately called the waiter: "Waiter, let me ask you a question, why do I have to prepare the props for the bet between me and Dai Jifeng?"
"This is a rule. Mr. Tao is a mortal, and if the miracle doctor is a monk, both parties must negotiate. Otherwise, the attribute of the bet item will be prepared by the party with the same attribute."
"I see, then I made a bet with someone today. Why does the bet ring magic weapon not have a bet ring?"
The waiter kept shaking his head and replied: "This kid doesn't know that everyone has a gambling ring."
Unable to figure out the reason, Song Lian changed the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about the ring betting. Now you place the bets for me."
"No. It won't work." The waiter shook his hands wildly.
"why not?"
"If a villain bets for the miracle doctor, he will bet for the miracle doctor. He won't be able to get in. If the casino finds out, he will be beaten to death."
Scolding the guy next door, how can we make money if we can't cheat in this world?
How to open a medical clinic without money?
How can you gain fame without a medical clinic? Without fame...
While he was standing still, thinking about how to take advantage of the loophole, the waiter quietly slipped away. After a while, the innkeeper came in a hurry, came to the door and bowed: "Miracle Doctor Song, I, Cai Mingxi, the owner of Laifu Inn, heard that——"
"Ah, this is shopkeeper Cai, please sit down. But are we discussing the store?"
"Please, the miracle doctor. To be honest, the shop is actually behind the inn, back to back. Unfortunately, the contract is still in the hands of my uncle, and I'm afraid he can't transfer it, but -"
"Hmm, you mean leasing?"
"I heard that Divine Doctor Song has a three-month bet with Mrs. Tao. I have a suggestion. I wonder if Divine Doctor Song is willing to do it?"
"The shopkeeper just says so."
"Since the miracle doctor moved in, our store's business has been booming, and it's all thanks to the miracle doctor. I have the audacity to ask the miracle doctor to continue to live there. How about temporarily renting the store to the miracle doctor for three months? We will bear all the expenses."
The last sentence touched Song Lian. Just when he was about to doze off, someone gave him a pillow. What a good person. Suddenly he thought of another thing and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper Cai, for your kindness. I'm shameless. But I have a suggestion. The shopkeeper can open a gambling bureau to recruit people."
For more customers, just give me a hint and I will definitely cooperate."
"this--?"
"If I don't invest a silver tael and don't take a silver tael, does that count as cheating?" Song Lian still refused to give up and wanted to try to break the strange rules of the world of immortality.
"This, to be honest, I have never encountered anything like this. Since the miracle doctor does not ask for anything in return, that..."
"Yes, the shopkeeper can waive the hotel and rental fees."
"Ah, I understand, maybe it's possible."
This is another trick that Song Lian came up with. You can't gamble directly, you can't bet on yourself, so how about a roundabout way?
From a behavioral point of view, it is obviously cheating to help others in the gambling game, but there is no direct participation and no betting. It is a free help for others to win money. Are there weird rules to stop it?
Two days later, the inn really opened a small gambling game, betting on how many days Divine Doctor Song could stay in the hotel. The owner changed the trick. The owner bet that Divine Doctor Song would continue to stay in the hotel. If Divine Doctor Song checked out and left on the same day, he would stay with her for a hundred days and leave the next day.
To be continued...
