Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

many people.

Everyone's face had some emotion on it.

Or excitement, or regret, or...

Crazy.

Ruo Ye Mu knew that all this originated from the machine in front of her. It was the first time she had seen this machine, and the first time she had seen this scene in front of her. So, she was very curious, and at the same time, she also wanted to know why everyone was excited about such a machine.

"Ah this..."

Lu Li felt helpless.

At this moment, Lu Li felt a little at a loss.

Do you want to let Mutou try it yourself?

It doesn't seem like a big deal to try it out, after all, it's just a toy at heart.

But...

If, he meant if, if people knew that he brought Wakaba Mu to play pachinko, then...

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Li hesitate, Ruo Yemu asked curiously, "Isn't this a video game? Can't I play it?"

Hearing Ruo Yemu say this, Lu Li suddenly felt relieved.

Yes, to Mutou, the so-called pachinko is nothing more than an electronic game machine. She is not a gambler. What's wrong with playing it just out of curiosity?

"No problem, of course you can play, wait a minute."

Lu Li took out a few 10,000 yen bills that he had robbed from his wallet, exchanged them for a bunch of small steel balls and gave them to Ruoye Mu. Then he taught Ruoye Mu how to play with them.

Pachinko is actually a very common pinball game. The rules are simple: you shoot a small steel ball onto the board. As it falls, it will repeatedly hit the nails on the board, changing its trajectory. If it finally lands in a designated position, you will receive a reward.

Of course, this thing has developed to the point where it has actually become a gambling machine in Neon. In Neon's underground casinos or small shops like the one where Lu Li is now, Neon's gamblers of all sizes will play pachinko all night long in the hope of getting rich overnight.

"No more..."

Lu Li exchanged for a total of 30,000 yen worth of small steel balls, and Ruo Yemu lost them all in less than ten minutes after getting them. Although she won a little bit in the process, she lost everything in the end.

"Lu Li, is this what you call luck?"

After losing all her marbles, Ruo Yemu looked at the other people around her. She now understood why everyone was so excited.

If you win, you can exchange the small steel balls for Japanese yen. When it comes to money, everyone is really excited.

Wakaba Mu carefully examined the pachinko machine in front of her, then roughly calculated: "This one has eight drop-offs, and four of them have no rewards... Two of them have relatively small rewards, and the remaining two have a lot. In other words, it's a game of probability?"

There are eight falling points, four with huge losses, two with small profits, and two with big profits, which is 50% of 25% and 25%.

But she lost everything, so her luck was really not good.

"no."

Lu Li shook his head.

"Mu, this is a game, but it's also gambling, and..."

"Mu, come, follow me." As he said that, Lu Li turned and walked towards the service counter where he had just changed to Pachinko.

"Huh?!" Ruo Ye Mu immediately followed.

Following Lu Li to the bar, Ruo Yemu heard the conversation between Lu Li and the middle-aged male owner in the bar.

"Boss, the machine my friend and I just played on is not clean, right?" Lu Li asked calmly.

Hearing Lu Li say this, the boss snorted and pointed at the others: "How could it be unclean? My machine is very clean. If it wasn't clean, how could everyone be having so much fun?"

"I'm not asking about your machines, but whether my machine is clean." Lu Li continued, "My friend and I just played about twenty rounds, and we only won three times in over twenty rounds. Is there something wrong with this probability?"

"Every machine I have is very clean. If you lose, it's your business. Why are you looking for me?" The boss was unhappy when he heard Lu Li speak so bluntly.

"What do I want from you? Of course, I want you to fix my machine. Boss, the thing is, I brought this friend of mine here just to see the world. We don't care about winning or losing, but if you just see we're strangers and start making small moves, that wouldn't be nice, would it?"

After he finished speaking, Lu Li smiled and showed the boss the M1917 hidden at his waist from an angle where no one else could see.

"Boss, look, isn't my belt beautiful?"

"!!!"

The boss's eyes became clear in an instant.

"Brother, what you said is true. The machines in our store are very clean. Winning or losing is definitely a matter of luck. But brothers, you guys are really upset after losing so much. How about this, I'll give you some and you can play again. Maybe your luck will be better this time!"

The boss's attitude was very sincere, and he also presented Lu Li with steel balls worth 10,000 yen.

"Mu, let's go play some more."

Not wanting to bother with the boss, Lu Li took Ruoye Mu back to the pachinko machine and handed the ball box to Ruoye Mu.

"Mu, try again. I guarantee you'll get nine out of ten right this time..."

Ten minutes later, looking at the box full of small steel balls in her hand, Ruo Yemu looked at Lu Li with admiration. Just as Lu Li said, she was 90% successful this time. In just a short while, she had earned back about 50,000 yen worth of small steel balls.

"Lu Li, how do you know I can get nine out of ten this time?"

Lu Li glanced at Ruo Yemu, then he looked at the gamblers who were still struggling in the store. His tone was a little strange: "Because, it is impossible for the banker to lose..."

"Okay, Mu, that's enough. If we continue, it will be too much. Have you had enough?"

"I've had enough fun." Ruoye Mu nodded.

She has lost and won before, and although she still wants to keep trying, now that Lu Li has spoken, she will listen.

after all......

Everything Lu Li said was right!

"Ah."

Bringing Ruo Yemu back to the front desk, Lu Li handed the small steel balls to the boss: "Boss, my friend and I are lucky this time, please help us exchange these."

"Okay!"

The boss naturally noticed Lu Li's deliberate attempt to stop Ruo Yemu from continuing to play, and he also knew that this tough guy who had to carry a gun even when he went out to take his girlfriend out was indeed not here to make money but to coax his girlfriend.

"Here, these steel balls can be exchanged for a total of 53,000 yen. I'll round up the 53,000 yen to 55,000 yen for you. Keep it..." the boss said as he placed six bills on the bar.

Glancing at the boss, Lu Li only took three of them and said, "Boss, these are enough. The rest are just to repay you for what you just gave us. By the way, are there any delicious food stalls around here?"

"Yes, yes, there's a night stall about 800 meters from the door. The food there is delicious and the ingredients are really clean. Come on, brother, take this and you can get a discount when you pay over there." The boss handed Lu Li his business card.

Lu Li picked up the business card and took a look at it.

Lu Li sneered: "What a youth culture! Boss, you know how to name it..."

......

Tonight is a fantastic night.

She played pachinko, ate foods that her parents would never let her eat, went out at night, and even pretended to be an adult out of curiosity and went to a bar to buy a cocktail with an alcohol content of less than 1%. On this night, someone experienced a wonderful adventure that she might never experience in her life.

"Mu? Mu?"

Carrying Ruoye Mu, who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion from playing, on his back, it was almost five in the morning when Lu Li and Ruoye Mu started walking back to the hotel together.

Just as he was about to reach the hotel, Lu Li stopped when he noticed a telephone booth on the side of the road.

It should be about time now. If I call him at this time, even if I contact the police, it will probably be difficult to catch him.

Well, just right.

After walking to the side of the telephone booth and slightly adjusting the position of the person on his back so that she could sleep more comfortably, Lu Li picked up the public phone.

"Good morning, Mr. Wakaba."

"Excuse me...how did you sleep last night?"

Volume 1: Chapter 113 You can rest assured!

"It's you?! Now You See Me?!"

On the other end of the public phone, the Ruoye couple, who had been sitting on the sofa at home all night without sleeping, determined Lu Li's identity almost instantly.

"Give me back my daughter!"

Ruoye's voice was filled with anger and impatience.

It had been a whole night since his daughter was kidnapped. He had mobilized all the strength he could, but he still hadn't found any news about his daughter. If the police hadn't assured him that his daughter had definitely not left Tokyo, he would have probably started posting missing person notices for his daughter throughout Neon.

"Mr. Ruoye, I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious." Lu Li said calmly.

Do you know it’s urgent now?

"Give my daughter back to me. Just tell me how much you want!"

When Ruoye heard the other party say not to be anxious, she became even more anxious.

The person who kidnapped his daughter was not an ordinary person. He was a terrifying thief who could jump from a building more than 30 stories high with a person and still land safely. For such a ruthless character, Ruoye subconsciously judged that the other party was a truly vicious and evil person. So in Ruoye's eyes, his daughter might be hurt or even abused by the other party at any minute. How could he not be anxious?

"Mr. Ruoye thinks highly of Miss Ruoye!? If so, why is Miss Ruoye confined to her house?"

Lu Li asked with a smile.

"This has nothing to do with you, tell me the number!" Ruo Ye had no time to complain to Lu Li about his daughter's house arrest. Compared with his daughter's kidnapping, this matter was nothing.

"It seems that Mr. Wakaba still cares about his daughter. How about this, 50 million, 50 million yen?"

Not knowing the specific strength of the Ruoye family, Lu Li tentatively quoted a price that he thought was reasonable.

"Sure, give me your account number and I'll transfer the money to you right away!" Ruoye's answer was very straightforward: "I'll transfer the money to you, and you return my daughter to me immediately!"

Lu Li was shocked.

Ha, it seems I didn’t shout enough.

Damn, 50 million yen is almost equivalent to 2 million Chinese yuan. If the Ye family is really powerful, they would have given the 50 million without any hesitation.

"No, Mr. Ruoye, you might be mistaken. This 50 million is for my care of Miss Ruoye these past few days. As for the ransom...how about 2 billion?"

"!"

Hearing the new number that Lu Li called out, Ruo Ye yelled, "Impossible! Our family can't afford that much!"

"Oh, the dignified Ruoye can't even come up with 2 billion?"

Noticing Ruoye's attitude, Lu Li realized he might have overstated the matter, so he changed his tone and said, "Then let's give him a 50% discount. How about 1 billion?"

One billion is equivalent to more than 40 million in the currency before the time travel. Although this number is a bit much, I think the Ruoye family should be able to afford it given their situation.

"..."

Ruoye was silent for a while: "Can it be less?"

"Mr. Ruoye, I have already made concessions. Isn't Miss Ruoye the hope of your Ruoye family? For the sake of hope, are you not willing to give up even 10 billion yen?" Lu Li pretended to sneer.

"You bastard!" Ruoye shouted angrily, "You want 1 billion in cash. Do you know what 1 billion in cash means?!"

The Ruoye family has 10 billion in assets, but Ruoye really can't take out 10 billion in cash.

"Is that so? Then make it a little less, 700 million." Lu Li didn't really want to ask Ruoye for money, so he casually cut down another 300 million.

This time, after a long silence, Ruoye asked again, "Can it be less? The Ruoye family's current cash flow is only a little over 500 million, and the rest still needs to be raised. And if I give it all to you..."

If all the money was given to this thief, the Ye family might not be able to make ends meet for a year or even two years.

"If you don't have enough cash, you can sell off your assets. This is the future of your Ruoye family. For this future, it's only 700 million in cash. It's worth it! Or does Mr. Ruoye think that the future of the Ruoye family is just like this?"

"I....."

Ruoye clenched her fists: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

"!"

After hearing Ruoye's answer, Lu Li felt relieved.

It seems that although what Lao Deng of the Ruoye family did was not right, his concern for Ruoye Mu was real.

Seven hundred million yen in cash is a considerable amount, but Ruoye did not hesitate too much, which made Lu Li very satisfied.

"Give me some time, seven days... no, three days! Three days will be enough. Within three days, I will gather 700 million in cash for you, and you return my daughter to me!" Ruoye made up his mind. He could gather the money, and he would gather the money as soon as possible to redeem his daughter.
