Inside the room, six people were playing a gambling game. Upon noticing someone enter, one of them shouted in dissatisfaction, "We're full! Either go to another room or wait patiently on the side!"
The game they played was very simple: each person represented a number from one to six, then rolled a die, and whoever rolled the correct number won, while everyone else had to give the winner a portion of the money. It was a very simple and brutal gambling game.
"Haha! Qian Erliang! You lost again! Last time you bet on two, this time you looked down on two, so I bet on two, and hey, I won! Hahaha!"
Qian Erliang's face flushed red: "You only won one game! Stop talking nonsense and start the next one!"
From the conversation, Jiang Ran learned who Qian Erliang was. He was a short man wearing a fake designer watch and clothes that looked expensive but were actually counterfeit. He stared intently at the dice spinning on the table and kept shouting "four four four" loudly.
"Sigh! It's six! Two taels of silver! You unlucky fellow, you've lost again! Haha, you don't have much money left, so get out of here! Can't you see there's another young man waiting over there? If you're broke, don't just sit there and hog the spot!"
"Who says I'm broke! Keep playing, I've got plenty of money!"
Everyone burst into laughter. They were all seasoned gamblers; they had no idea how many coins Qian Erliang had.
Jiang Ran originally wanted to start by asking questions about this gambling addict by asking about his family, but the information he gathered showed that this guy was never married and his parents had long since moved to another place (in fact, according to the setting, they didn't even exist in this world). He was all alone, and if he really wanted to be close to anyone, he only had his group of cronies left.
Ten minutes later, Qian Erliang shouted "Again!" again. But when he took out his wallet, it was empty!
Qian Erliang's face instantly turned liver-colored. The five gamblers around him burst into laughter, sparing no words of mockery. However, Qian Erliang was thick-skinned, clearly having heard such remarks far too often!
Actually, in games like this, one person wins money from five people, and each time the amount lost is very small, but winning once can bring in a lot of money. So this kind of gambling game can actually be played for a long time. It's just that Qian Erliang's luck was really bad today, and he didn't have enough capital with him, so he was kicked out directly.
"Hmph! Once I've scraped together enough money, I'll come back and wreak havoc!"
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Qian Erliang threw down his chair and left. The others quickly waved to Jiang Ran: "Young man, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? Come on, let's have a couple of rounds of gambling!"
Jiang Ran wanted to ask these guys about Qian Erliang, so he sat down in the seat that Qian Erliang had previously occupied.
"The player before me has lost so much, he must have absorbed all his bad luck. I'll just sit here and make a fortune!"
"Haha! Young man, you're right to think that way!"
Several seasoned gamblers, wanting to take advantage of the newcomers, changed the game to Texas Hold'em!
"Hmph, you can tell from a newbie's expression whether he has a strong hand or a weak one! We're going to win all his money today!"
"I don't have any chips, can I use cash instead?"
"Of course, of course, come on, come on!"
Jiang Ran still had some cash he had acquired earlier. If he were to play the same game as before, it would really be a matter of luck, since everyone would choose a number before rolling the dice. Jiang Ran had no way of predicting the future.
However, if you want to play Texas Hold'em... even if Gwen can't use her ability to see their cards directly, these newbies are still too green to play against Jiang Ran!
"The supplier I worked for before was called Qian Erliang, right? He was..."
While playing the gambling game, Jiang Ran inquired about Qian Erliang's whereabouts. The group chatted with Jiang Ran casually, since Qian Erliang was already gone, so they could talk bad about him behind his back as they pleased.
"and."
"No, you're still calling? Young man, just how strong is your hand?"
"It's alright, just so-so."
"Forget it, I'm not going to follow anymore..."
"Damn! How dare you keep calling with such a terrible hand!"
"So my hand was really bad? Haha, I thought it was great!"
The more they played, the more the veteran gamblers sensed something was amiss...
"Alright, alright, let's call it a day!"
"I think so too. A little gambling is harmless fun!"
After playing several rounds, the old gamblers exchanged glances and quickly made excuses to slip out, leaving only Jiang Ran and Gwen in the room.
"It's like you didn't get any answers at all, except for winning some money..."
Gwen shrugged helplessly.
"Don't rush, let's follow them."
After leaving the room, I heard two old gamblers muttering to each other. These two people definitely didn't want to leave, but rather they thought Jiang Ran was too strange and wanted to change tables.
"That kid is fucking weird. Could he be pretending to be weak while actually being strong?"
"I thought he was a newbie, but pshaw! I'll stay far away from that guy from now on! We've lost a lot of money today!"
"But we two brothers know our limits, unlike that Qian Erliang, who doesn't leave until he's lost all his money, haha! If he's not a pauper, then who is?"
Sometimes I really want to ask him face-to-face—
When will you become very rich?
The two old gamblers chatted as they took their seats in the hall.
"See, the problem is clear now," Jiang Ran smiled slightly. "Let's go find Qian Erliang! After we deal with this guy, we'll go find Yin Sigou!"
Qian Erliang squatted on the side of the street outside the casino, smoking silently. Although he said he was going to make money when he left, he hasn't done anything about it yet, making people wonder if he actually has any way to make money.
"Next time I'll definitely make a fortune! Those guys dare to look down on me? Humph, have they forgotten how I beat them the first time!"
"It sounds like you're having a rough day."
The voice came from above. Qian Erliang looked up and realized it was his opponent, the young man. He immediately snorted coldly, "What? Did you beat those guys?"
"I made a little money by luck."
"Damn it!" Qian Erliang smashed his cigarette butt on the ground. He was already upset enough about losing, and now the other person had won!
"I'll definitely win next time!"
"Next time?" Jiang Ran leaned closer. "When exactly will you become really rich?"
