Chapter 435 Lucky Break (1)

you're looking for accompaniment, there are plenty of better options out there than these folks from the world of wandering." Lady Red said as she stood up to guide逍遙 to find Little Snow.The location...Chapter 435 Good Fortune 1

"Don't you guys take a bet of this big coin" Carefree asked.

"We do, of course we do. But there's no need to exchange chips for it, just go and play at the tables," replied the man. Although Carefree’s behavior was disappointing, even mosquitoes are meat; every coin counts.

"Then what did you bring me here to exchange chips for" asked Carefree sourly. "Isn’t that a waste of my time"

“…” The man wanted to cry. He thought he would place a bigger bet, but unexpectedly, he couldn't even spare ten coins at once; such stinginess was only revealed by one copper coin.

"I thought the young master would gamble more generously for once, but I didn’t expect you to just play casually like this. It’s fine if you’re playing casually, there’s no need to play big," said the man with a smile. To be honest, he was still professional; he didn't leave in disgust nor show any displeasure.

"I also want to have fun once and exchange chips for it, but I only have this one coin on me now," replied Carefree with a smile.

“Ah Young master, you really know how to joke,” the man was initially stunned before quickly regaining his senses. He thought that Carefree was joking and wouldn’t believe that he had just one big coin; it didn't make sense otherwise.

"I’m not joking. Before I came here, I spent some money on buying things, they're all right here," said Carefree as he patted the pack on his back. The bulging bag seemed to prove that what he had said was true.

“… Are you really serious” asked the man quietly while looking at Carefree.

"Really!" Carefree nodded.

"Then play slowly, I have other things to do," replied the man. There's almost no way he wouldn't leave now; damn it, only a single copper coin, you've wasted so much of my goodwill!

Find another fat sheep next time, sigh… shouldn’t be next time!!

"Oh, see ya!" Carefree smiled and then went to bet on high or low. This rule was very simple; everyone knew it. Generally speaking, it relied solely on luck as long as the house didn't cheat.

In this capital city, the house never cheated, which was a widely accepted fact. Regardless of what you gambled on, the house always had high odds of winning; more customers meant more profit. Cheating would result in less money earned because it would affect the gambling den's reputation and lead to fewer guests coming.

However, that usually only applied to ordinary people who could only rely on luck, while skilled gamblers could deduce the situation inside the room accurately. For these individuals, comparing skills was necessary.

The croupier in this gambling den was also a master; he made it impossible for others to hear what was going on, which was much more difficult than listening. Therefore, generally speaking, one needed far higher gambling skills to deduce the situation.

"Wow, so lucky..."

Carefree muttered and then went up to the table. After everyone had placed their bets, he shouted loudly, "I’m betting on trios!"

“Trio That has a high payout rate, but it’s hard to hit. Young brother, you need to think clearly,” said someone nearby. Trio wasn’t considered big or small; if the house opened with a trio and one didn't bet on it, they'd lose everything.

But the chances of trios were extremely low, so naturally, the payout rate was much higher, about twenty times!

"No worries, I’m certain this round will be a trio! I’m in!" said Carefree very seriously and placed his bet – one coin!!

“Sigh…”

Everyone who saw the single copper coin emitted a sigh of disdain towards Carefree. They had thought he was coming to take a big gamble, but it turned out to be just one coin; even if he won, it would only bring twenty coins, and that wasn’t much different from his bet in this place.

"No more bets!" The croupier ignored Carefree and said to everyone else.

“High! High…”

“Low! Low…”

The gamblers near the table began shouting their bets, which was a common occurrence. That’s why these large gambling houses separated different games; otherwise, it would affect other gambling methods and other gamblers.

"Trio!" shouted Carefree.

“Get lost!” Everyone shouted at Carefree; opening with a trio meant everyone who hadn’t bet on one was wiped out. Thus, he naturally became the common enemy.

They wouldn't think that this round would be a trio, although there was some chance of it happening. As gamblers, who would want to risk being wiped out But the result made them open their mouths in shock…

The croupier opened the box and all three dice showed five points. Carefree won alone; everyone else lost.

This was an ideal outcome for the house; they basically cleaned up this round, earning quite a bit of money from Carefree’s twenty coins. They immediately issued two ten-coin chips to him.

However, for the gamblers, they could only look at Carefree with resentful glares and even wanted to hit someone if allowed!

But Carefree didn’t give them a chance; he took his chips and bet money – that one coin – then went to play another game!

Dude, it's a good thing you ran fast, otherwise I would've cut you down!! The gamblers cast a glance at Free-and-Easy before resuming their gambling. A little incident like this can't dampen their enthusiasm; they carry on as usual.

No one thinks that Free-and-Easy is able to hear the dice rolling into a triplet, only that it's his luck and pure chance.

"Mahjong, let's have some fun..."

Free-and-Easy started gambling on mahjong...

"Royal Match!" Free-and-Easy declared as he opened the cards.

"Damn it, where did this kid get such good luck He actually drew this hand. However, what a waste! Only two small chips are at stake, but if I were given that hand, I could win a house."

Free-and-Easy was envied once more, envious of his good fortune.

...

"Majiang, we can play several rounds with this. This is a rare thing..."

After running around to a few places, Free-and-Easy's chips had doubled and then doubled again. Apart from the bet of one large copper coin, he basically wagered everything in each game; that was his entire wealth for now.

In his hand, there were already two silver coins worth of chips. Although it didn't seem like much here, if anyone knew that he had gone from a single large copper coin to two silver coins, the only reaction would be shock!

Heavens! That's a 10,000 times increase!!

Majiang isn't considered gambling by gambling houses. They don't sit as bookies either; it is solely up to the gamblers themselves to play and the gambling house takes a fee for their trouble. There are few who get involved.

However, sometimes the gambling house will set odds and give corresponding payouts, but this happens only when two masters compete against each other, which isn't every day but is very popular when it does happen.

To that end, the gambling houses host contests from time to time with rich prizes to entice these masters to play. They set odds and take bets, calculating the payouts accurately so they can make a profit without fail.

This isn't just limited to majiang but also includes go and chess, all of which have similar operations!

It's unknown if it was luck or not, but Free-and-Easy happened upon a majiang competition, albeit only a small one, but still lively with many skilled players.

This kind of contest doesn't follow any rules; as long as you win enough money in the rounds, there are no problems joining mid-way. Majiang is often played short-handed, and joining mid-way can be an opportunity to win, even if it's more difficult because one must compensate for lost time by winning much more.

There were some masters competing here who had a hard time outdoing others in speed!

Among these masters, there are those permanently employed at the gambling house and some hired ones. Of course, there are also those who play purely for fun. The permanent employees usually have high skill levels and are stable, ensuring every competition's quality.

"Kid, did you come to pay up"

When Free-and-Easy sat down at the table, an unimpressed middle-aged man looked at him because he was too young. These things usually require experience; though there are no shortage of masters among the young, true experts are few and far between.

"I came to have some fun; whether I'm paying or not isn't important," Free-and-Easy said with a smile.

People like this who just want to play for fun are common, so no one found it strange. They didn't pay much attention to him as they expected he'd be down shortly.

"Alright then, hope you don't run out of money," the middle-aged man said again.

"Don't worry, I have two silver coins!" Free-and-Easy replied seriously.

Everyone drinking water at the majiang table coughed; they thought he'd say more than that just now. At least a hundred silver coins was what one would expect from someone here who was willing to wager large sums of money, and two silver coins seemed laughable.

"Then you can only play one round. A flip of the cards could exceed your two silver coins; if it does, you'll have to pawn off this outfit. The material's pretty good, so it still has some value," said the middle-aged man with disdain in his tone.

The clothes he was wearing shouldn't belong to a commoner; they weren't shabby at all!

Free-and-Easy didn't know that people often misjudged him based on his attire, but he wouldn't change anything. He only wore what made him comfortable and had no reason to seek out trouble for himself.

Free-and-Easy wasn't the kind of person who would skimp on himself just to save money; even if he didn't waste, he spent where it mattered without a second thought because this was something he'd made himself, which cost him next to nothing in any case.

"Maybe I'll have good luck and play several rounds," Free-and-Easy said with a smile, showing no concern whatsoever. He continued organizing his cards into neat piles before him.

"Luck is useless; you need skill!" the middle-aged man scoffed, trying to break down Free-and-Easy's illusions.

"Luck is also a kind of skill!" Free-and-Easy shrugged off, continuing with his game.
