Chapter 79 Gambling Master
Wuji Tower.
"Okay, I have changed the name of Ye Yu Palace to the First Floor in the World. The business model remains the same, it is still an art gallery, but I gave it a new name, called nightclub."
"In the near future, I will modify some things to add some features that were not available before, so I plan to let Xiaoxiao be the shopkeeper there and take care of the business there."
"As soon as he leaves, there will be a vacancy in Las Vegas. Lao Cao has to be responsible for the No. 1 building in the world and all the industries outside Las Vegas. He can't get away, so you have to go."
Li Wuji looked at the people present and said slowly.
"Am I going to Las Vegas?"
After hearing Li Wuji's words, Ji Wushuang was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly, with a trace of unconcealable disappointment on his face.
"Is there a problem?"
Li Wuji nodded and asked with a smile.
"Oh, no, no..."
"It all depends on the master's arrangement."
Ji Wushuang shook her head hurriedly, forced a smile on her face, and said respectfully.
She did not expect that Li Wuji would hand over such an important place to Pang Xiaoxiao and only give herself a gambling house.
"Brother, can I do it?"
"I have just become familiar with the business in Las Vegas. The first floor in the world is a bigger place. I am worried that I will disappoint my brother."
Pang Xiaoxiao turned to look at Li Wuji hesitantly, and said with some embarrassment.
"If I say you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it. Don't worry. If you encounter something you don't understand, just ask Wushuang Girl."
Li Wuji gave Pang Xiaoxiao an affirmative look and said seriously.
"Then there is Sister Lao Wushuang. I'm afraid she will inevitably cause trouble to you."
Pang Xiaoxiao nodded hesitantly, smiled at Ji Wushuang, and said sheepishly.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Ji Wushuang forced out a smile and said politely.
"Okay, now that it's settled, let's do it."
"Go back and rest early, pack your luggage, and come with me early tomorrow morning."
Li Wuji waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave.
Everyone stood up, said goodbye to Li Wuji, and slowly exited the room.
After Ji Wushuang returned to her room, she was as listless and unhappy as an eggplant beaten by frost.
I had not seen Li Wuji for a few days, and I missed her very much. I finally looked forward to her return, but found that Li Wuji's thoughts were all on Pang Xiaoxiao, and he became more and more indifferent to her.
Thinking that Li Wuji actually gave up the soup he had made to Pang Xiaoxiao just now, I felt particularly uncomfortable.
...
The next day.
Las Vegas.
As the murder case was solved, the gambling dens also lifted the restriction order and reopened for business. Gamblers who had been waiting for several days came one after another, making Las Vegas, which had been quiet for several days, lively again.
Near noon, a carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the gambling house. The driver was an old servant who was over fifty years old. He was dressed simply and had a kind face.
After the carriage stabilized, a middle-aged man walked out of the carriage. He was not dressed gorgeously, with a frivolous smile on his face. He held a folding fan in his hand and looked at the figures on the plaque above his head that looked similar to
The big characters closely related to the Western Region nodded thoughtfully.
"Master, here we are."
The old servant bowed his hands and said softly.
The middle-aged man nodded, got off the carriage, and walked straight into the gambling house.
As soon as he entered the casino, the middle-aged man was attracted by the lively atmosphere inside, especially the beautiful women in cool clothes and walking around carrying fruit plates, which made the middle-aged man's eyes shine.
"I've long heard that this place is unique. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation. I can't wait to see it!"
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and said excitedly. He didn't know whether he was talking about the novel gambling games on the gambling table or the cool women.
Soon, the middle-aged man found a gambling table with the largest number of people, took out a large amount of banknotes, and started to place bets while learning how to play.
After several games, the middle-aged man was defeated repeatedly, and he could only watch helplessly as all his money went to the dealer.
However, the middle-aged man was not discouraged. On the contrary, the more he played, the more interested he became, and the bets he placed became bigger and bigger, which made the old servant who was following him more and more nervous.
As the bets here became bigger and bigger, it attracted the attention of many other gamblers. Gradually, people gathered around and started talking about this middle-aged man who was spending a lot of money.
There was a table in the corridor on the second floor. Cao Zi sat quietly on the chair and observed the scene happening downstairs.
A subordinate stood beside him, filling up the wine glass on the table for Cao Zian from time to time.
"Sect Master, that man has already lost a lot. It has been an hour and he has not won a single hand. He has almost lost all his money."
"This is a bit abnormal. Logically speaking, our people have been trained, and we can't let gamblers lose endlessly. We will always lose money a few times."
The subordinate frowned and whispered.
The sect leader in his mouth was Cao Zian. Some time ago, Li Wuji had ordered Cao Zian to get in touch with all Pang Xun's old men who could be contacted. In order to facilitate things, he gave these people a name named Tianyuan. Cao Zian
He is the sect master of Tianyuan.
"He lost on purpose."
Cao Zian narrowed his eyes, looked at the back of the head of the middle-aged man who was losing money and laughing loudly, and said in a deep voice.
"On purpose?! Why did he do that?!"
"Are you here to cause trouble?!"
The subordinate was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"Maybe he came here for the young master."
"In this case, you quickly go to the first floor of the world, report this matter to the young master, and ask the young master to make a decision."
Cao Zian thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
The subordinate agreed, immediately went downstairs, and quickly left the gambling house.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zian called Ji Wushuang, who had just arrived at the casino today to familiarize himself with the business, and went to the first floor to tell the dealer at the middle-aged table to find a way to lose some of the money he won to the middle-aged man.
With the dealer's ability, it is easy to lose money to gamblers, but he just doesn't dare to make the decision without permission.
...
The first floor in the world.
Li Wuji stood in a room on the third floor, looking in the direction of the palace through the open window, frowning slightly.
From Heavenly Prison to Jiuyou Realm, and then from Jiuyou Realm to here, just in this distance, he has experienced more than one bloody storm, overt and covert battles with underground forces, and intrigues with yamen.
Something I have never experienced.
He must be extremely careful every step he takes, otherwise he will fall into a situation of eternal disaster if he is not careful.
The road ahead is still long, and he is not completely sure whether he can reach the end and complete all his plans.
But he is destined to have no way back and must keep going, for the sake of those who have died and those who are alive.
Although these people had nothing to do with me.
"Brother?"
At this moment, a faint voice came from behind.
Pang Xiaoxiao didn't know when he had appeared behind Li Wuji.
"What's wrong?"
Li Wuji retracted his thoughts, turned around slowly, and showed a soft smile.
"Someone from Las Vegas came and said that Sect Master Cao has something to report to my brother in time."
Pang Xiaoxiao pointed to the door and said slowly.
After listening, Li Wuji turned to look at the door and found a subordinate looking at him anxiously, so he waved and called the subordinate into the room.
"Sir, a wealthy guest came to the gambling house. He played for an hour and didn't win a single hand. Not only did he not get angry, but he didn't care. He kept laughing there."
"Sect Master Cao suspects that that person lost on purpose. He should be a master of gambling. He may be here to get you. Please make your decision."
The subordinate bowed respectfully and said anxiously.
After hearing what his men said, Li Wuji couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Li Wuji thought for a moment, said casually, said goodbye to Pang Xiaoxiao, and walked straight out.
Things were so abnormal that he had to go and take a look. No matter how incompetent the gambler was, it was impossible for him to lose all the time. Moreover, there was an unwritten rule in the gambling house, which was that in order to retain regular customers, sometimes some means had to be used to make them lose.
Gamblers who lose money get a sweet taste.
Nine times out of ten you will lose, that's the truth. There will always be a game for you to win, otherwise if you go there once, you won't go again.
Obviously, that middle-aged man whom he has never met must be a master of gambling!
The men agreed and hurried downstairs to prepare the carriage for Li Wuji.
Lu Yuan, who had been standing silently outside Li Wuji's room, also followed downstairs without saying a word.
Chapter completed!
