Sir, have you made your purchase?"
"It's settled. I'll buy the small one!"
"Haha, okay, please let go if you're sure you're buying it."
Murong Xiao took his hand away and opened the sieve. Everyone screamed "Ah" and looked at Murong Xiao as if he deserved it.
"Four, four, six—big!"
"Damn it!" Murong Xiao cursed angrily.
The dealer took the banknotes from Murong Xiao with embarrassment, shaking his head as he took them. "Young Master, your luck has been really bad these past two rounds. Or...why don't you bet on a couple of small amounts first and see what happens?"
Having earned two thousand taels, the dealer began to smile for Murong.
"Humph, this young master has always had good luck. Things never go as planned. Come again!"
"Haha, okay, okay!" The dealer agreed and shook the sieve again.
"Everyone, please put down your hands once you've made your purchase." After saying that, he looked at Murong and said with a smile, "Sir, are you going to buy a big one or a small one this time?"
Murong Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Banker, do you think I should buy big or small?"
Everyone laughed at Murong Xiao's extremely one-sided mind.
The dealer said politely, "You must place your own bet. I'm the dealer. If I say go big, and you lose, won't you blame me?"
"No! You name one. Then I'll watch the bets, but I won't necessarily bet on the one you mentioned."
"Oh... okay then. I'll just make a random guess. Big?"
Murong Xiao looked at the dealer for a while, then suddenly took out an extremely large silver note from his arms and slapped it on the table with the word "big" written on it.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Twenty thousand taels, big! Add another twenty thousand taels and buy three stacks!" (Three stacks means three identical numbers. For example, Murong Xiao bought big. There are only three possible numbers for a big three stack: three fours, three fives, and three sixes.)
"puff--"
A gambler who was drinking water nearby was so frightened by Murong Xiao's roar that he spat out the water.
At this moment, many gamblers were already alarmed by Murong Xiao's first bet of 200 taels, the second of 2,000 taels, and the third of 20,000 taels, and they all gathered around to look at him. The way they looked at Murong Xiao was completely the look of a spendthrift.
But at this moment, the banker's face turned ugly.
First, he hadn't expected Murong Xiao to actually place his bet as he'd suggested. Second, he hadn't expected Murong Xiao to bet 20,000 taels straight away. Third, he hadn't expected Murong Xiao to not only spend 20,000 taels on Big, but also spend 20,000 taels on a 6-to-1 bet.
"Dealer, open it!"
"Yes, open it quickly!"
"Banker, you haven't opened the door yet. Are you planning to do something?"
Seeing the dealer's face suddenly turn ugly, the gamblers all joined Murong Xiao in excitement. Could it be that this wasteful thing was really a good buy?
Oh my god! If he really bought the right one, how much would he have earned?
With so many people watching, the dealer had no way to do anything and could only bite the bullet and open the sieve.
"Three fives—big!"
"Wow! It's really big!"
"Oh my god! How much did he win this time?"
"Oh my god! He won 140,000 taels of silver in this one round!"
"Adding his own 40,000 taels, he has to get 180,000 taels back from the dealer!"
The gamblers at Haoyun Casino were excited and started shouting around Murong Xiao.
Murong Xiao had clearly just come to her senses after being stunned, and she smiled foolishly. Finally, she laughed more and more triumphantly, and shouted loudly to the gamblers in the gambling house: "Comrades, trust the dealer, and you will have eternal life!"
