my old life

Chapter 1585
Bai Xingchen's success is tantamount to giving me a lot of chances of winning. As long as there is a marked poker in tonight's game, I will be invincible!
Similarly, the way to deal with the mute is very good, letting Bai Xingchen open the room to rest can ensure the greatest degree of concealment, and he is still very useful at critical moments!

"Where's Fatty? Is he back?"

"No." The mute shook his head, as if he didn't care about the fat man.

"Rest well, let's kill them all tonight!"

"OK!"

I entered the bedroom and fell on the bed. The most important thing I need to do now is to sleep, to recover and maintain sufficient energy to cope with the next game!

Time flies by, and I wake up on time at seven o'clock in the evening, feeling sober like never before!
Leaving the bedroom, the fat man fell asleep on the sofa, seeing him drooling and sleeping very sweetly, I sat gently on the sofa and didn't wake him up.

A boxy black iron box was placed on the table. The English on it was incomprehensible, but I recognized the tar content label on it. Could it be that these were the fuel cigarettes brought back by the fat man?

Opening the tin box, there is a neat row of cigarettes inside, and a scent hits the face, it smells so good!
It looked like a normal cigarette on the surface. I took out one and put it on my nose and smelled it lightly. I could smell a refreshing fragrance!

But I suddenly felt a little excitement all over my body for no reason, and the things in front of me became much clearer. I thought it would be okay to smell it, right?

"Sanming, what are you doing!" Fatty suddenly turned over from the sofa and sat up, his nervous look made my heart skip a beat!
"I don't do anything, just smell it casually." I put the cigarette back, and I was startled by his voice just now!
"I thought you were going to smoke it. This thing is not ordinary fuel! This is the A product specially obtained by the captain, mixed with flour!"

What the fat man said made my heart skip a beat. Just now I just smelled it and it shouldn't be a problem. It's a psychological effect!

"How much was mixed?"

"15.00%!" The fat man replied with a firm face, and I knew he was talking about No. [-] flour.

"Why is this thing so fragrant?" I asked curiously, I have never smelled such a fragrant fragrance, it smells very special!
"Specially added spices to cover the smell! Ordinary people can't smell it, it's a boutique product given by the captain! That guy still wants to fool me..."

The fat man rubbed his hands together, and I thought to myself that the captain is also serving food when he sees people, and for a knowledgeable person like the fat man, he can't be fooled by good or bad goods!
"How likely is it to become addicted if you smoke this thing?"

"If it's purely fuel smoke, it will take a slow process, but this kind of A product is almost the same after a few times!"

"Some people say that smoking fuel is not addictive?" I asked curiously, after all, I don't know much about it.

"Fart! It depends on the content...you get what you pay for. Most people buy inferior products that have been mixed with other things. Those things are useless! They usually make money by adulterating."

"Low content?"

"That's right! There are all sorts of messy things, as long as there is a little bit of fuel in them, they can be sold, and the profits are very high!"

The fat man explained a bit, and his eyes were full of envy, but this kind of unconscionable business must never be done!
"Don't care if the profit is high or not, you can't touch this thing, fat brother, you know it!"

"Of course I know! If everyone is not addicted to smoking fuel, who else can the captain sell to? Even smoking a cigarette can be addictive, let alone fuel!"

"That's right!"

This is indeed the case in this world. Captains make money in two ways. One is to provide adulterated and shoddy fuel to deceive people, and the other is to make people buy it for a long time.

In this matter, adulteration is not a bad thing, because the lower the fuel content, the lower the harm to the body...

But when a person really needs to be tricked by others in order to reduce the harm to the body, it is really sad and deplorable!

"We know what it's like to smoke. This stuff is addictive. Otherwise, who else can we sell so many cigarettes to?"

The fat man said something as if nothing had happened, and he took out a cigarette and threw it over, but I felt completely changed when I held it in my hand!

I smoked a lot, but for the first time, I felt like I was being manipulated. Although the price of a pack of cigarettes was very low, it felt like I was being taken advantage of!

Looking at the cigarette in my hand, I fell silent. The cigarette that I could smoke by putting it in my mouth countless times has attracted me with addiction and made me use my health as the price...

I suddenly felt cheated and manipulated, and at the cost of my health, the price was too heavy!
Although I never thought about quitting smoking, I suddenly didn't want to light it at this moment, because I wanted to know whether the addiction was stronger or my willpower was stronger!
"Why don't you light a cigarette?" The fat man asked inexplicably, I shook my head and threw the cigarette into the trash can, feeling a little dry in my mouth.

"How many years have you been smoking, Fat Brother?"

"More than ten years, maybe 15 years."

"Have you ever thought about quitting smoking?"

"Tried several times, but failed."

"Now I want to try!"

"Really? People who can quit smoking are not ordinary. They are so ruthless to themselves, but they will be even more ruthless to others!"

"I don't think that quitting smoking is cruel to yourself, but smoking is cruel to yourself! Quitting smoking is good for your health, and this statement can be found on any cigarette pack!"

"You can't make it!"

"I can definitely! Because I want to control my life, and I won't be controlled by anyone or anything!"

"What about this box of A goods?"

"Leave it to our opponents! Let them enjoy it!"

After a simple dinner, it was almost eight o'clock, I washed my face in the bathroom, and then went out with Huben to find Bai Xingchen.

According to the room number given by the mute, I came to the bottom of the cabin. The environment and conditions here are much worse, and there is a musty smell in the air.

There are vents in the rooms on both sides of the bottom of the cabin for ventilation, but places where there is no sunlight all the year round are always prone to mold, not to mention that the air is very heavy when sailing at sea every day!

I asked Huben to wait at the elevator entrance. Usually no one would come to the room at the bottom of the cabin. It feels like most of the rooms here are empty.

I knocked on the door with the code I had agreed upon before. After two long knocks and two short knocks, Bai Xingchen opened the door, and a musty smell came over my face!

"Why do you live here?" I frowned slightly, feeling that the conditions here are much worse than those above!

"There's no room up there! But it's pretty good." Bai Xingchen looked cheerful. Seeing that he was holding a mirror in his hand, he probably was admiring his own face just now.

To be honest, Bai Xingchen looks much more pleasing to the eye now than before. Although his mouse eyes can't be changed, at least he looks like a Silla man now.

"Is the poker thing going well?"

"Successful! It's just that the waiting time is a bit long, why don't you ask me to do something again?"

"When did I not look for you to take care of money?" I said with a smile, money is the best motivation for him!

"Is there a good source of money to take care of? No problem!" Bai Xingchen immediately became excited, every time money was mentioned, he became excited!
"Are you okay now?"

"Be at your best all the time!"

"This time, you don't need to go to a place that is too tightly guarded. Instead, go to patronize the rooms of a few rich people. Isn't it difficult?"

"This is my forte!"

"It's just that there may be someone in the room, so be careful!"

"No problem! I have my own way, just tell me which room you are in!"

"The sea view room on the top deck, except for my room, you can steal as many as you can!"

"But will there be money?"

"The money is not necessarily, but there should be some chips and cashier's checks. There will be a gambling game at ten o'clock tonight, and there must be no one in the room by then!"

"it is good!"

"You go to the casino to find me before one o'clock in the morning, remember not to talk to anyone or reveal your identity, wait for my news!"

"OK!"

I let out a long sigh of relief after leaving Bai Xingchen's room. The musty smell always makes people feel sick, and this kind of problem is still unavoidable on such a luxurious cruise ship.

Even if there is a strong smell of air freshener in the air, it still cannot completely cover up the musty smell!

Back on the top deck to blow the sea breeze, I subconsciously touched the cigarette in my pocket, but after taking it out, I smiled and shook my head.

"No one can control me, go to hell!" I raised my hand and threw the cigarette and lighter into the sea, and my mood became much more comfortable!
If I can't even control the addiction and habits, how can I conquer those powerful gamblers?
