When Lin Haoming walked into the house, there was a burst of noise inside, as if a gambling game had just ended. Some people were happy, while others were sighing.
"What is gambling here?" Lin Haoming asked.
"This is the insect gambling house. The insect used for gambling is called tiger cricket. It seems that a game has just ended here. The people in the gambling house are cleaning up the place! Look at the cages in the back. Those are tiger crickets," Lao Yu said
.
Lin Haoming looked along what Lao Yu pointed at, and sure enough he saw cages placed on the table at the far end of the room, and the cages were filled with insects that were more than a foot long.
The appearance of these insects is somewhat similar to crickets, but the mouthparts seem to be sharper and they have tiger-like markings all over their bodies. This may be why they are called tiger crickets.
In the middle of the whole house, there is a fenced area of seven to eight feet square, which is supposed to be the place for fighting tiger crickets. At this moment, there is a tiger cricket that looks quite strong, and it is really "chirping..." inside.
's cry.
This voice does not sound powerful at all, but rather fragile, but looking at the open mouthparts of the tiger cricket, I am afraid that most people will lose their lives if they are bitten.
"Haha, everyone! This General Huanglong has won four games in a row today. According to the rules, he can fight again. If any of you are dissatisfied with the tiger cricket in your hand, you can take it out. If not, then we will let General Huanglong take care of himself.
Let’s take a rest!” At this moment, a tall and thin young man cupped his fists towards the people present and said with a smile.
However, after he finished speaking, no one responded. It seemed that General Huanglong had completely defeated everyone in that scene, and no one was willing to take out the tiger crickets he brought.
"Why, can I still bring this tiger cricket for gambling?" Lin Haoming asked in surprise.
"Haha, yes! If you win, you can get 10% of the commission. If you lose, you can also get 10% of the appearance fee. However, this tiger cricket is an extremely ferocious insect beast. Any one of them can be sold for three times.
Five Time Crystals, look at the Yellow Dragon General, he is probably the victorious beast here, and the value of such a beast will not be less than three or five Sun Crystals." Lao Yu explained in a low voice.
"Is this thing so valuable?" Lin Haoming was a little surprised.
"Yes, otherwise why wouldn't even I come to this place easily? Although Lao Yu and I are also a wealthy official, I really can't afford this kind of gambling house!" Lao Yu said very self-consciously.
Lin Haoming listened and nodded. In fact, if you look carefully at the people here, you will know that they are definitely either rich or noble, and the poor are not qualified to come in.
"Lao Yu, why are you here? Have you become rich recently?" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Lao Yu looked at the person walking over at this moment, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Lin Haoming took a look at this young-looking man and saw that he was holding a rather charming and enchanting woman in his arms. The woman was carrying a bag of Yuan Jing, so she knew that this person's origin was not very simple.
.
"So it's Mr. Tie!" Lao Yu immediately put on a flattering smile and greeted the young man.
"Who is this?" The young man known as Mr. Tie, whose eyes were mostly on Lin Haoming, also asked directly at this time.
"Master Tie, this is Lin Haoming, Lin Baotou!" Lao Yu replied with a smile.
"Oh! I went to my old man's place yesterday and heard from him that an ascended monk came yesterday and finally chose to go to the arrest department to be the head catcher. Couldn't it be you!" The young man looked at Lin Haoming and hugged his fists towards Lin Haoming with a smile.
, the attitude is much better than that towards Yu Zheng.
Lin Haoming also hugged his fists and said, "Young Master Tie, it is Lin!"
When Tie Shao heard Lin Haoming call him that, he immediately frowned and said, "Hey! Lao Yu, call me Tie Shao. I can handle it. Lin, you are an ascended monk. I don't even have the late Mahayana cultivation."
I am as powerful as my old man in this Xilin County town. I am an expert. If you think highly of me, just ask me to become an expert!"
"Captain Lin, Young Master Tie is the son of the boss of the factory!" Lao Yu explained in a low voice.
"It turns out that you are Master Tie's son. Since Mr. Tie is not around, Lin is in good hands." Lin Haoming saw that although this man had a son's temperament, at least he was not an eyesore, and he did not want to offend anyone, so he started to chat.
"That's good. Mr. Lin also likes to gamble with both hands?" Tie Chengye asked.
Lin Haoming just smiled and said: "Lin has just arrived in Heaven, so I asked Lao Yu to lead the way and get familiar with the place."
"Indeed, although Xilin County is not a very big city, if you want to make a living here in the future, you really need to get familiar with the place. But since you are here, you might as well take a gamble before leaving. Which one do you want to win, Mr. Lin?"
I will win over which one. If you lose, it’s mine. If you win, I’ll give you 30%!” Tie Chengye said happily.
To make a bet here, you must at least have one time crystal. It is obviously impossible for Tie Chengye to place just one time crystal. Such a bet will definitely bring benefits to yourself.
When Lin Haoming thought of this, he suddenly felt that he might have been remembered by everyone after meeting Jia Kai yesterday, and Yu Zheng was his introducer. Therefore, when this strange face of his appeared next to Yu Zheng, he naturally attracted
The person in front of me should pay attention, otherwise I am afraid that this son of Tie Qingshan would not come over to say hello to Yu Zheng. It seems that as an ascended monk, he is taken more seriously than he imagined.
Lin Haoming didn't know what kind of person the Iron Master behind the Iron Master was, but since the other party wanted to show his favor to him, he would not refuse to give him face, but he still took a look. At this moment, someone really took out a tiger.
Cricket was about to fight with General Huanglong, Lin Haoming smiled and said: "Chengye, this is the first time Lin has come here, I really don't understand, but since General Huanglong is a victorious general, it shouldn't be so difficult to lose."
It’s easy!”
"General Huanglong pays one for five, the odds are a bit low, but since you are guaranteed to win, why not make money if you can, even if you beat General Huanglong!" Tie Chengye slapped the buttocks of the woman in his arms and ordered.
.
The woman was slapped on her buttocks in public. Not only was she not angry, but she winked at Tie Chengye, then twisted her waist and headed towards the place where the bet was placed.
Lin Haoming didn't know how many yuan crystals were in the bag, but the number was at least one hundred. His annual salary was only thirty-six yuan crystals. This handful was equivalent to his salary for several years. It was really a big gamble.
.
The time allowed for people to place bets is only two-quarters of an hour. Once the time is up, the gambling shop will no longer accept bets.
As the bets were placed, the tiger cricket fight began. The person who took out the tiger cricket asked someone to bring the cage into the venue, and then opened the cage. There was now a light curtain in the middle of the venue. Obviously,
This venue is also a small forbidden circle. The two tiger crickets can see each other, but because of the light curtain, they can't do anything to each other. But at the next moment, the light curtain disappears.
