Chapter 901: Chapter 900: Dominating the Gambling Den
The gambling house truly is a mixed bag, the moment one steps inside, all sorts of smoke and chaos hit you. Thereâs the smell of opium, mixed with various sweat odors. Looking at the crowd crammed inside, itâs only just past noon, yet the place is already bustling with people, some with bloodshot eyes from gambling, some looking emaciated, and some whoâve lost everything but are still unwilling to leave.
Upon Wufuâs entrance, quite a few people shifted their gaze onto her, as if evaluating or coveting, wondering if another fat sheep has arrived.
Judging by her age and her tender appearance, the crowd leaned towards the latterâsheâs a fat sheep, a young profligate.
Someone wanted to approach her, but Chi Yi and his group have already caught up, standing behind Wufu, emanating a cold, fierce aura, immediately making people hold back and restrain themselves.
And Chi Sanâs group had already carved out a space, allowing Wufu to walk over.
This particular table was for playing dice, Wufu took out her money pouch, pouring out the Silver Coin inside, finding only a silver note worth One Hundred Taels and a few small silver pieces.
A little attendant from the gambling house approached with a smile, asking: "Would the young master like to break it down?" He was asking if she wanted to exchange her silver note for smaller change.
Wufu responded proudly, "Am I the kind to be petty-minded and want to break it down?"
The little attendant was not offended; he simply smiled and said: "Then, I wish the young master great success."
"Thatâs what I like to hear," Wufu said, tossing him a silver piece, "Itâs yours as a reward!"
The attendantâs face lit up, and he kindly brought over a chair for her to sit down.
Wufu didnât hold back, as only someone savvy could work in such a place. However, the people surrounding the table looked at Wufu with eyes full of envy.
"Final bets," the dealer called out as he shook the dice.
The crowd placed their bets eagerly, but Wufu remained still.
"Young master, arenât you playing?"
Wufu smiled, "Iâll watch for now."
The crowd left her be, assuming she was just some young profligate out for fun.
All eyes were glued to the dealerâs hands as they shook the dice, mouths chanting for big or small results.
Wufu waved her folding fan, appearing calm and composed.
Chi Yi and the others watched coldly, noticing sheâs skipped betting for three rounds already, pondering if sheâs only here to watch?
On the fourth round, Wufu shouted, "My God of Wealth is here! Bet on big." As she spoke, she placed all her Silver on the âbigâ side.
Thatâs at least over one hundred taels, and those with tighter purses were naturally envious.
The dice cup was openedâbig.
Wufu smiled widely, "The God of Wealth surely has arrived," she grinned, accepting the gambling money handed over by the dealer.
Chi San and the group twitched their mouths, thinking this must be the blind cat catching the dead mouse.
Wufu bet again, still on big.
Lost!
Small, lost!
For ten rounds straight, whatever she bet was spot on; what was initially one hundred taels of gambling money had now turned into a small pile because she wagered all the gambling money in front of her each time, with multipliers stacking up, how could it not grow?
The crowdâs eyes were now changed, and they all followed her lead, betting along with her.
Even Chi Yi and those standing behind Wufu were dumbfounded.
Wufu had a face that bloomed into a chrysanthemum, exclaiming every time: "The effect of worshiping the God of Wealth before stepping out truly makes a difference," causing the crowd to chuckle in amazement.
After all, it seemed like the God of Wealth was practically one of her family.
As Wufuâs gambling money in front of her grew, the bets on the table overwhelmingly tilted.
She bet, others followed; if she didnât bet, no one moved. She even made an excuse to slip away, and everyone waited for her return to place their bets. As for the pile of money on the table, no one dared to touch it or move it, considering following this young master to fortune was the way to go, wasnât it?
"Young master, our casino owner invites you," the little attendant who initially wished Wufu luck approached her with a smile.
