"The old one is 1 magic crystal, the young one is 4 magic crystals, a total of magic crystals."
"Five magic crystals?" Cheng Fugui gritted his teeth and glared at the shopkeeper, "My wife's life is only worth one magic crystal?"
"You think it's too little? Ha, your own life is not even worth 1 spirit stone."
Cheng Fugui was dejected.
Qiao Er pulled Cheng Fugui's sleeve in fear and asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, what does she mean by 5 magic crystals and 1 magic crystal? Is she going to hire us to do odd jobs? What kind of odd jobs pay so much?"
Cheng Fugui stammered and was speechless.
"Silly child, that's the price you'd sell yourself for at a brothel!" the shopkeeper laughed. "You're young, your skin is tender, customers like you, and you can work for a few more years, so you're worth four magic crystals. But your mother is too old, so she's not worth that much."
"Brothel? Selling ourselves?" Cai Niang looked at Cheng Fugui in disbelief. "You...want to sell us, mother and daughter?"
Cai Niang felt a surge of rage in her heart. She grabbed her daughter's hand and tried to escape, but found that she was blocked by several monks.
"Master Cheng, are you still selling it?" the pawnshop owner asked impatiently, "Others are still lining up, so sell it as soon as possible."
Looking at the desperate expressions of his wife and daughter, Cheng Fugui was shaken.
What if...what if I lose?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt breathless, as if he was surrounded by endless despair.
So he immediately shook off the idea.
No, I won't lose.
"Dad..." Qiao'er looked at Cheng Fugui pleadingly.
Cheng Fugui gritted his teeth again, looked at the pawnshop owner and asked, "Sell it! You can redeem it anytime after selling it, right?"
"Hey," the pawnshop owner smiled meaningfully, "You have to understand that people are not like those pawned items that can be left in the warehouse without care. People need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and live... and eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and living all cost money. We can't keep idle people in our pawnshop."
Cheng Fugui's face turned pale.
"So, I can only guarantee that these two women will be safe and sound within twelve hours. If it's beyond this time, I'll be sorry..."
"Cheng Fugui!" Cai Niang pointed at Cheng Fugui's nose, "You bastard! I really misjudged you!"
"Cai Niang," Cheng Fugui lowered his head, "Believe me, believe me, okay? I will definitely win it back... I took this risk just for Qiao Er's entry fee! I promise to win it back within twelve hours and save you and Qiao Er and bring them home!"
"Go home? Then you have to win the house back." The pawnshop owner said leisurely.
"House?" Cai Niang was struck by lightning. "You lost your house too? You...you beast!"
Cheng Fugui glanced around and found that more and more people in the casino were pointing at him and watching the joke.
"Why are you coming to the casino if you have no money?" someone laughed at him.
He came to the casino because he had no money. Even if he devoted himself to making money, his lifetime would not be enough to allow Qiao'er to join the sect... Cheng Fugui lowered his head lower and lower, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a nameless anger in his heart.
Among the people giving advice around here, there are also many gamblers that I have met in the past few days.
This made him feel very embarrassed.
“Fugui, stop it.” Cai Niang advised, “At worst, Qiao’er won’t go to the sect. If we lose the house, then it’s gone. If you keep losing…”
"Snapped!"
Cheng Fugui's slap chilled Cai Niang and Qiao Er's hearts completely.
"Lose? I've lost so many times, how can I keep losing?" Cheng Fugui roared, "I've invested my entire house, how can I live without winning back? Didn't I say I'll redeem you guys and take you home soon? What are you afraid of? Can't you just trust me for once?"
Cai Niang and Qiao'er stared at Cheng Fugui blankly, and suddenly realized that the husband and father in front of them was very unfamiliar.
What on earth turned him into this half-human, half-ghost appearance...
It was just a few dice and a few leaf tricks, why could such a simple and kind man become so hideous and hysterical?
They didn't understand. Those things looked so ordinary. Idle old people in the countryside and children on the roadside were playing with them. But how could they turn people into monsters in this place?
"If we don't bet, Qiao'er will have to curl up like a stink bug like us for the rest of her life! Maybe one day an immortal who is in a bad mood will pass by and spit at her and drown her. What will we do then?" Cheng Fugui's eyes were red. "Cai Niang! Believe me! I will definitely win!"
Cai Niang was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "I can trust you. I am willing to trust you even if I have to sell myself. But you can't sell Qiao Er. We can't gamble with Qiao Er's second half of life!"
Then there is only one magic crystal.
Cheng Fugui thought about it... Maybe, he could give it a try?
However, before he could make up his mind, the pawnshop owner slowly spoke: "I'm sorry, we don't accept old women in our pawnshop. If you put it with a young one, you can use it as a prize... We don't accept it if it's sold alone."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Fugui clenched his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Qiao'er. Dad will definitely redeem you."
"father……"
"Well, take them away." Cheng Fugui said in a deep voice.
Amidst the crying and shouting, Cai Niang and Qiao Er were dragged into the backyard of the casino.
Cheng Fugui took the five sparkling magic crystals in his hand, looked at the power contained therein that only immortals could use, raised his head, and walked towards the gambling table.
You will win, you will definitely win.
Why would I lose? My life has always been smooth sailing, I have always been able to survive in desperate situations, and I will definitely be able to do it this time...
He clenched his teeth, and a look of almost crazy confidence appeared on his face.
Standing at the table where he was betting on big or small, he raised his hand and slapped the five magic crystals into the "big" grid at once, gritting his teeth and saying, "I bet on big."
"Okay~"
The dealer smiled as he uncovered the dice and looked down.
"Oops, sorry, two-three-three, eight o'clock, little."

(Tomorrow 2 more chapters.)
107. Gambling (3)
Jiang Keer witnessed it all with her own eyes, and witnessed a man go from "a wife, children and a warm bed" to "。
All in all, even including the time he spent going home to trick his wife and daughter into coming over, it only took less than an hour.
It's that easy to lose everything.
At this moment, Cheng Fugui stood in front of the gambling table blankly, even forgetting to shed tears, as if he had gone stupid.
He was quickly pushed away by other impatient gamblers, who thought he was in the way and preventing others from making money.
Cheng Fugui raised his head and looked at the dealer's gentle and somewhat relieved face, and suddenly felt that expression was familiar.
Oh, now I remember, isn't that the look Cai Niang gives when she inspects the chives in the field? She feels happy watching her chives grow vigorously, and she fantasizes about the good harvest this year.
When a gambler wins and cheers, the dealer will turn around and look at the other person with another smile, as if to say: "Yes, yes, you made money, and we lost so much that we bleed."
No, that's not a win, that's a loan.
He would borrow money from the casino for a short period of time, but it wouldn't be long before he would pay back the principal plus hundreds of times the interest.
Why didn’t I discover this earlier?
"Cai Niang...Qiao'er..."
He looked in the direction of the backyard of the casino and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
He felt like a piece of filthy shit, worse than pigs and dogs. What on earth was wrong with him? How could he be so arrogant as to use Cai Niang and Qiao Er as stakes?
Now, it's too late.
Cheng Fugui looked at the sharp corners of the table. The cone-like edges seemed to be calling to him.
Yes, as long as you hit it, you don’t have to regret it, you don’t have to suffer anymore, and you can forget all the stupid things you have done.
However, the scene of Cai Niang and Qiao Er being locked up in a brothel appeared uncontrollably before his eyes.
She could have died, but Cai Niang and Qiao Er were still crying.
No, I can't die!
No matter what he did, he had to save Cai Niang and Qiao Er! At any cost... At any cost!
Just as he was roaring madly in his heart, a small hand patted his shoulder.
"Brother, pass the fire?"
"?"
Jiang Ke'er smiled mysteriously: "Do you regret it? If you were given another chance and went back to before you entered the casino, what would you choose?"
"I..." Cheng Fugui gritted his teeth, "I will sell my organs! My heart, my liver, my kidneys, and have someone bring the money back for Qiao'er to join the sect!"
"Even if we sell it, the money won't be enough."
"Then I will steal, I will rob, I will even sacrifice my life! There is always a way to get enough money!" Cheng Fugui's face was grim. "I can't let Qiao'er be trapped in this muddy pond anymore... I won't use them as a bet anymore, but I will still find a way! No matter the consequences!"
"So how are you going to save them now?"
Cheng Fugui was stunned, and was suddenly awakened from the illusion of returning to the past, and could no longer speak.
No matter what means he used, it would not be enough for him to save enough money to save his wife and daughter within twelve hours.
He is just an ordinary person.
"I can save your wife and daughter, but you have to pay the price." Jiang Ke'er's expression suddenly became cold. "If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences. If I hadn't shown up, your wife and daughter would have paid the price of your stupidity for their entire lives... You have to atone for the mistakes you made."
"I am willing!"
"anything?"
"Anything! As long as you can save Cai Niang and Qiao Er!"
"Okay, then just wait."
Jiang Ke'er strode to the gambling table and pushed away the gamblers violently.
The gamblers immediately started shouting and cursing, and when they saw Jiang Ke'er and Qiao Xiaoxian's group clearly, they started whistling and teasing them.
Jiang Ke'er didn't care and just raised her hand slightly.
Boom! ! !
A huge magic crystal fell on the gambling table.
There is a full cubic meter of complete magic crystal raw stone, which, if cut into pieces, can be converted into at least one million magic crystal units.
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
"Hmph, a nouveau riche..." someone muttered with disdain.
However, before they could catch their breath, there was another loud bang.
Boom! ! !
Oh my god.
Not finished yet.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
A total of ten pieces, ten million.
The magic crystal block almost poked the ceiling.
Everyone in the casino could only look up at the tall magic crystal pillar, frightened by the invisible and tyrannical force and dared not speak.
It's really hard for this gambling table. It didn't collapse even under such a heavy force. It's obviously a magical instrument that has been carefully designed and modified, and its quality is guaranteed.
What’s even more terrifying is that Jiang Ke’er spoke calmly in front of the entire casino.
"Bet the dice, two, five, nine."
Wardtian, is this boss thinking he has too much money and is going to the gambling house to spend it?
The so-called dice-surrounding means specifying three numbers. If the numbers that come out of the last three dice are exactly these three numbers, you win, otherwise you lose.
The winning rate is obviously ridiculously low.
If they lose, they will lose everything. If they win, the multiplier is 150 times, which means that the casino has to return 150 15 million magic crystals, or billion, to Jiang Ke'er.
The casino obviously couldn't afford that much money, but the owner of the casino still ran out quickly and ran up to Jiang Keer with a smile.
Jiang Keer then discovered that the owner of this gambling house was the owner of the pawnshop.
