88: Chapter 88 High-Stakes Gamble

Zhang Zixuan walked over leisurely.

"You can redeem your equipment, but our gambling house decides the price."

Jiang He snorted coldly: "Fine. Tell me, how much?"

"Ten thousand gold coins."

"F*** you, have you gone crazy for money? Ten thousand gold coins?" Blood Blade exploded upon hearing this, rushing forward to curse him out.

"Heh... if you think it's too expensive, you don't have to redeem it, or..." Zhang Zixuan looked at Jiang He with a crooked smirk, "perhaps you can gamble to win it back."

Zhang Zixuan's net worth had even surpassed Jiang He's.

As long as he won the gold coins and equipment in Jiang He's hands, he would be the king of Chang'an City.

"How do you want to gamble?" Jiang He narrowed his eyes and asked.

"It's simple, as long as you have money. If you want equipment, you have to put up equipment of the same grade to gamble. If you don't have equipment of the same grade, gold coins will work too, but as I said, the wind whisper set is worth ten thousand gold coins." Zhang Zixuan looked as if he had him cornered.

He didn't believe there was any man who didn't like gambling.

Likewise, there was no man who could leave a casino with his money.

The moment they walked in, it was destined to end in failure.

"Fine, I'll gamble with you."

Jiang He walked to a table and waved his hand casually.

5,000 gold coins piled up on the table, glittering.

The surrounding players were stunned at the sight.

They had seen gambling before, but never on such a large scale.

At this stage, the number of people who could pull out 5,000 gold coins at once could be counted on one hand.

Just then, someone noticed Jiang He's ID and hurriedly shouted:

"It's, it's Viscount! Viscount has come to help us deal with the house!"

"Right! Viscount, beat him!"

Zhang Zixuan snorted coldly upon hearing this and walked over.

"How do you want to play?"

"Let's gamble with money first!"

Jiang He grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them onto "Big."

He didn't believe this gambling house had no issues.

Gambling relies on luck, so why was luck always on the house's side?

He didn't believe it.

If he discovered the opponent was cheating during the game, he could use his Viscount authority to shut down this gambling house and demand they spit out all the ill-gotten gains and equipment.

Zhang Zixuan sneered, walked over, and gripped the dice cup: "Sure, then I'll play along with Viscount."

"Clatter—"

Zhang Zixuan's movements were skillful; one look and you could tell he was a veteran.

"Bang!" The dice cup was lifted: 2, 4, 5, Big.

The whole room cheered.

"Viscount is awesome..."

Zhang Zixuan chuckled: "Yo, not bad luck." Afterward, he returned double the gold coins.

"Still continuing?"

"Continue."

Jiang He grabbed another handful of gold coins and threw them onto "Big."

Zhang Zixuan continued to shake the dice cup, secretly delighted. Win, win more, there will be a time for you to cry later!

For this gambling house, he specifically found an expert in reality to learn how to control the dice points. It was all skill, with no traces of cheating. Did he already anticipate that Jiang He wanted to catch him cheating?

Heh... no way!

The highest level of gambling is to let you win first, winning until you think you are possessed by the God of Gamblers, forgetting yourself.

Once you are completely trapped, that is the moment for the house to harvest.

A dozen consecutive rounds all came up Big.

The 5,000 gold coins in front of Jiang He had already turned into 20,000 gold.

The surrounding crowd gasped, and some began to persuade him:

"Viscount, why don't you call it a day? You've already won quite a bit, just leave."

"Yeah, Viscount, luck is an uncertain thing. It comes and goes, you should quit while you're ahead."

Gamblers are all like this; they lose their heads when playing themselves, but are clear-headed when watching others.

Zhang Zixuan smiled and said: "What? Still playing?"

"Of course I'm playing. Right now, I'm unstoppable. Today, I'm definitely going to win your gambling house!" Jiang He said firmly.

Zhang Zixuan sneered inwardly: This is exactly the effect I wanted; he really took the bait.

"Alright, since Viscount is interested, why don't we play bigger?"

"Hmm? How big?"

"Starting at five thousand gold, dare you?"

"Hiss—" A collective gasp went around the room.

Blood Blade, hearing this from behind, hurriedly pulled on Jiang He and whispered: "Big Brother, why don't we forget it? A 5,000 gold starting bid? That's f***ing terrifying!"

Jiang He weighed the gold coins in his hand, looked at Zhang Zixuan, and grinned: "My brother advised me to stop playing, and I'm a person who listens to advice." He pulled out 10,000 gold coins and pushed them over, "Bring my brother's wind whisper set."

Zhang Zixuan was stunned.

This... isn't right? Shouldn't he be blinded by greed and fight to the end? He's stopping just like that? And that 10,000 gold he used, wasn't that what I intentionally let him win?

Zhang Zixuan's face darkened: "Jiang He, are you scared?"

"Hmm? Yes, yes, yes, I'm scared. Hurry up and bring the equipment." Jiang He nodded.

"Bang!" Zhang Zixuan slammed both hands on the table and roared: "I've changed my mind! The wind whisper set, redeem it for 100,000 gold!"

"F***! You're price-gouging!" Blood Blade cursed loudly.

Zhang Zixuan looked disdainful: "So what if I'm price-gouging? The equipment is mine now; what does it have to do with you how much I want to sell it for?!" He turned his head and stared fixedly at Jiang He, roaring: "Let me tell you! If you want your equipment back, gamble with me! If you have the ability, win it back yourself! Want to buy it with money? Keep dreaming!"

Jiang He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, watching Zhang Zixuan's flustered state, and sneered inwardly: Heh, finally lost your composure? Even if you have skill, so what? I have a cheat system!

Just now, during the game, every time he wanted to place a bet, it triggered a top-up option, but he had refused it.

He had to first see what kind of tricks Zhang Zixuan wanted to play.

If he won heavily from the start, the other party would inevitably become vigilant, or even close up shop for reorganization.

"Fine," Jiang He stood up, "then we'll gamble as you say. But I have one requirement."

Zhang Zixuan's mouth curled up: "What requirement?"

"Ten thousand gold? Too little! Let's start at ten thousand gold!" Jiang He raised the betting threshold.

"Good! You said it yourself!" Zhang Zixuan immediately replied, fearing he would go back on his word.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another chorus of dissuasion from behind.

"Don't! Viscount! Ten thousand gold is too much!"

"Think carefully! The guy opposite is clearly a veteran; you definitely only won before because he was intentionally going easy on you!"

Zhang Zixuan was furious upon hearing this and cursed: "Shut the f*** up, all of you! If you keep whining, get the hell out of here!"

Jiang He acted as if he hadn't heard the dissuasion and shook his head: "Let's start."

He waved his hand, and tens of thousands of gold coins piled up on the table like a small mountain, shining with an alluring light.

He looked at Zhang Zixuan with a smile: "Zhang Zixuan, my capital is enough. What about yours?"

Zhang Zixuan understood, of course; this was verifying the funds.

He snorted coldly and also revealed his own gold coins, which were no less than Jiang He's pile.

Jiang He clapped repeatedly: "Good, good, good. As expected of the richest man in our Chang'an City, foolish and rich."

Zhang Zixuan didn't care at all about what nasty things Jiang He was saying now.

His eyes seemed glued to that pile of gold coins; if he won all of this, he would undoubtedly become the richest tycoon in Chang'an City!

"Hmph! Let's start!" A fire of greed ignited in his eyes.
