"Brother Xuan, take care. Come over again when you're free!" Ah Xing said reluctantly as he stood at the door downstairs and looked at Ye Xuan who was carrying his luggage.
Ah Xing was still a very simple person. Moreover, he already had quite a good impression of Ye Xuan. In his heart, he had already regarded Ye Xuan as a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person. Although the time they spent together was rather short, it did not affect Ah Xing's reluctance to part with him.
Some people might not be able to see each other clearly even after spending a lifetime with each other. However, some people might be able to be friends with each other for life and death just by meeting once.
"Alright, my relative said that he lives around Mong Kok. If I'm free, you can't not welcome me!" Ye Xuan joked.
"No, no, you're welcome anytime, anytime!" Ah Xing waved his hand and smiled shyly.
"Alright, that's a deal then. Alright, you can go up now. I'm leaving! "Ye Xuan smiled and waved his hand. He turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Brother Xuan, take care!" Ah Xing waved his hand and shouted.
When Ye Xuan left Ah Xing's sight, he stopped and turned around to look at the building where Uncle Da stayed. He muttered to himself for a while and looked around. Finally, he found a small hotel that was not far from Uncle Da's house and stayed there.
Naturally, it was impossible for Ye Xuan to look for the relative that might be fabricated by the system. To say the least, even if the relative really existed, it was impossible for him to look for them. He was very clear about his purpose of coming here. Naturally, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
After paying the rent for three days, Ye Xuan only had about five hundred Hong Kong dollars left in his pocket. Fortunately, the accommodation fees in Hong Kong at this time were not as expensive as they were in the future. Otherwise, he might have starved to death before his uncle could bring Ah Xing to gamble.
As for the second side mission issued by the system, he had to earn more than one million Hong Kong dollars before leaving the movie. Ye Xuan already had a rough idea of what to do. Familiar with the plot of the movie, he naturally knew that Uncle Da, who had always been a citizen of Hong Kong, thought that it was his chance to make a fortune after learning that Ah Xing possessed supernatural abilities. Hence, he brought Ah Xing to the underground casino to make a fortune.
Ye Xuan, who knew about this drama, thought that this would be his first pot of gold. Otherwise, this movie would not have lasted more than two months. If he used proper methods, he would not have any hope of completing this mission. Moreover, if a person wanted to travel from Hua Ming to America, since there was a free flight available, why would he have to walk? He was not stupid.
Ye Xuan purposely chose a room with a window that allowed him to see the main entrance of the second phase of the Cuiyuan building. As long as he stood by the window, he would be able to see if Uncle Da or Ah Xing came out of the building.
Very quickly, three days had passed.
In these three days, Ye Xuan had been observing Uncle Da and Ah Xing's movements. However, other than the first day when Uncle Da brought Ah Xing to Mong Kok to buy some clothes for him, the two of them did not leave the building again. It seemed like Uncle Da was eager to get rich, so he hid in the room to teach Ah Xing how to gamble.
On the fourth day, Ye Xuan had no choice but to pay for another day's rent. Looking at the remaining three hundred Hong Kong dollars in his hands, Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. It seemed like if Uncle Da did not bring Ah Xing to the underground casino, he might not even have enough money to stay in a hotel.
Ye Xuan took a chair and sat by the window. He ate his bread as he stared at the main entrance of the building. The sky outside had already darkened, and the lanterns were lit. After finishing his bread and drinking some water, Ye Xuan sighed. Uncle Da might not bring Ah Xing to the casino today. It seemed like he had to go out and earn some money from tomorrow onwards. If not, he would really have to sleep on the streets.
"Eh?" Just as Ye Xuan was having a headache about where to get money, he suddenly saw two people walking out of the building not far away. It was Uncle Da and Ah Xing.
"When you go in later, be careful. When you see the numbers on the dice, you have to tell me secretly. Do you understand? This time, it's all up to you whether or not we can have a good life, "Uncle Da instructed Ah Xing as he walked beside him.
"Got it, Uncle!" Uncle Da had repeated this sentence to Ah Xing countless times since they left the house. Ah Xing had heard it so many times that his ears were getting calluses. He replied absent-mindedly.
"Cheer up. After tonight, we …" Uncle Da patted Ah Xing's shoulder when he saw that he was in low spirits.
"Brother Xuan, why are you here!" Before Uncle Da could finish his sentence, Ah Xing's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the person who was walking over and suddenly ran a few steps in front of the person with an excited expression.
"Uh, it's Ah Xing. Hi, why are you here too? Are you shopping with Uncle Da?" This person was, of course, Ye Xuan. When he saw Ah Xing greeting him, Ye Xuan pretended to be surprised. However, his expression was a little stiff without any acting skills. Fortunately, Ah Xing was a simple person and didn't notice it. Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at Uncle Da who was walking towards him. "Uncle Da, hi, are you shopping?"
"No, my uncle wants to bring me to the casino to broaden my horizons. Brother Xuan, have you been to the casino since you came to Hong Kong?" Ah Xing asked straightforwardly.
"Mr Ye, hi. Have you found your relative? Are you staying here too? "Uncle Da walked towards him and chuckled. However, there was a flash of doubt on his face.
"Yes, I found my second aunt. She's not far away from here. I'm staying at her house now." Ye Xuan fabricated a random relative. He smiled and said to Ah Xing, "Are you going to the casino now? I've been looking for a job these two days. I haven't been to the casino in Hong Kong. I wonder what it's like? "
"Why don't you come with us!" Ah Xing wasn't interested in gambling. If it wasn't for Uncle Da who kept asking him to go, he wouldn't have gone. Now that he saw that Ye Xuan seemed to be interested, he immediately invited him to go with him. To him, it was always good to have more companions.
"Cough, cough. Xing Zai, Mr Ye might have something on." Uncle Da saw that Ah Xing wanted to invite Ye Xuan, so he suddenly nudged Ah Xing's waist and said. To him, he would definitely win if he brought Ah Xing along. With the mindset of a commoner, if he brought Ye Xuan along, Ye Xuan would get a share of his winnings. Of course, he wasn't willing to do so.
"It's alright, Uncle Da. I'm free now too. I can go with you to broaden my horizons. I'm just not sure if it's convenient for you." Ye Xuan pretended not to understand Uncle Da's words and smiled.
"It's convenient, it's convenient. Brother Xuan, let's go together." Ah Xing didn't understand why Uncle Da nudged him. When he heard that Ye Xuan wanted to go with them, he said happily.
"Hehe, since Mr Ye has nothing on, let's go together!" Uncle Da glared at Ah Xing, who was smiling, and said with a fake smile.
"Hehe, thank you, Uncle Da. Also, you are my elder. You can just call me Ah Hsuan," Ye Xuan thanked him.
Soon, under the guidance of Uncle Da who was like an experienced horse, the three of them walked into an old building in a small alley.
"Don't be fooled by this shabby building. There is an underground casino inside that sometimes has more than a million bets every day." Uncle Da pointed at the old building in front of him and said with his eyes shining.
"Hei Zai Da, are you here to gamble again?" Just as Uncle Da brought Ah Xing and Ye Xuan to the old building, a muscular man walked out from the shadows of the building. When he saw Uncle Da, he smiled and said.
"Yeah, why? Are we not welcome here?" Uncle Da puffed out his belly and placed his hands on his hips. It was obvious that he often came to this underground casino to earn money. Even the henchman who was watching over the place recognized him.
"As long as you have money, of course we welcome you. These two are …?" The henchman said with a fake smile. Then, he looked at Ye Xuan and Ah Xing who were walking behind him.
"My two nephews. They said they wanted to come and take a look!" Uncle Da said.
"Alright, let's go in. Keep an eye on your nephews and don't cause any trouble. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite." The muscular man looked at the two of them and said.
"Humph!" Uncle Da snorted. He turned around and said to the two of them, "Let's go in!"
Uncle Da led the two of them to the third floor of the old building with great familiarity. This floor was obviously modified. The soundproofing was pretty good. It was only when the three of them reached the third floor that they heard the noises of the gamblers.
In a room on the third floor, they could hear the voices of the gamblers and the dealer even before they entered the room. When Ye Xuan and Ah Xing walked to the door, they saw that the room was filled with people. The turbid air was filled with the pungent smell of cigarette smoke. However, the people inside did not seem to notice it. All of them stood in front of the gambling table and focused on watching and gambling.
The people of Hong Kong loved to gamble. There were a few gambling tables in the room and there were many people surrounding each table. In the past, Ye Xuan was a loser at the bottom of society. He did not like to gamble and had never entered a casino before. Hence, he was not familiar with the things in the casino.
"Uncle, there are so many gambling machines. Where should we gamble?" Although Ah Xing had been trained by Uncle Da for the past few days, he was still dazzled by the gambling machines in the casino. He asked nervously.
"Hehe, let's go to that table! Let's go. Both of you, follow me! " Uncle Da smiled confidently. He walked with his head held high like a general who was about to win. He led Ah Xing and Ye Xuan straight to the table in the middle where the dices were played.
"Come, come, come. I'll buy, I'll buy …"
"There's something to buy, there's something to buy …"
"Big, big, big …"
"Small, small, small …"
Uncle Da led the two of them through the crowd and walked to the gambling table. This was a table that used dices to bet on big or small. When Ye Xuan and the rest came over, they saw a dealer shaking the dices and calling for the gamblers to place their bets.
"Xing Zai!" Uncle Da turned around and gestured to Ah Xing.
Ah Xing nodded and looked at the dices. His eyes shone brightly and a confident smile appeared on his face. "2, 3, 4, open small!"
Uncle Da's lips curled into a smile when he heard that. He took out five thousand dollars and threw it to the "small" side.
Ye Xuan had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He had been standing next to Ah Xing. Due to the bonus of Agility to his hearing, his hearing was sharper than others. Although Ah Xing spoke softly, he heard it clearly. He took out the three hundred dollars in his pocket and threw it onto the "small" side of the gambling table.
"Open! 2, 3, 4, 9 small! "
The banker took back the bets he had lost and paid the bets he had won one by one. Holding the five thousand dollars he had just won, Uncle Da was grinning from ear to ear. On the other hand, Ye Xuan held the three hundred dollars he had won calmly and smiled at Ah Xing as a way of thanking him. Then he waited quietly for the next round of bets to begin.
"Come, come, come, I'll buy, I'll buy …"
"There's something to buy, there's something to buy, there's something to buy!"
The dealer sitting behind the table did not realize that there was a big tiger at the table. He smiled as he shook the dices and shouted.
"Xing Zai!"
"3, 5, 6, open big!"
Uncle Da hesitated for a while when he heard Ah Xing. He only bet five thousand dollars while Ye Xuan bet all six hundred dollars he had.
"Open, 3, 5, 6, 14 points, big!"
The dealer flipped open the Gambling Gu, and the numbers were exactly as Ah Xing had said. Uncle Da received another five thousand dollars, and Ye Xuan also received the six hundred dollars that the dealer had given him. Now, he had more than the initial amount of money that the system had given him. It was one thousand two hundred dollars.
Gambling was indeed one of the fastest ways to earn money. No wonder so many people were addicted to it.
The third round began quickly.
"3, 4, 5, open big!" After the dealer shook the dices, Ah Xing looked at the dices and said.
This time, Uncle Da hesitated for a moment. He clenched his teeth and placed all of the ten thousand dollars he had just won in the "big" area. Ye Xuan, on the other hand, placed all of the one thousand and two hundred dollars he had on hand with a smile.
"Open, 3, 4, 5, 12 points, big!"
The dealer flipped open the Gu Gambling Machine. This round went as expected. Uncle Da excitedly took the 10,000 dollars the dealer gave him as compensation. Up until now, he had already won 20,000 dollars. This made him, who had always lost every time he gambled, feel like he was dreaming as he held the money in his hands. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan already had 2400 dollars in his hands.
The fourth round began again.
"1, 1, 3, open small!" Ah Xing whispered into Uncle Da's ear.
This time, Uncle Da didn't hesitate anymore. He confidently placed his twenty thousand dollars on the "small" side. Ye Xuan also placed his two thousand and four hundred dollars on the "small" side. However, unlike before, the surrounding gamblers finally noticed that Uncle Da had won three rounds in a row. After Uncle Da placed his bet, a few gamblers also placed their money on the "small" side.
"Open, 1, 1, 3, 5 points, small!"
When Uncle Da received the twenty thousand dollars from the dealer with a grin, not only did the gamblers beside him look at him thoughtfully, but even the dealer looked at him with a meaningful gaze.
The fifth round
"2, 3, 5, open small!"
