"Hiss!" Ling An, Ling Zhuo, and Zuo Guangqi sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. The eye-catching numbers 1, 2, and 3 in the dice cup made their scalps numb and their hands and feet go cold.
Only Zuo Guangzong's expression remained the same. He didn't even look at the dice cup as he smiled confidently and said, "Third Brother Ling, no, it should be Third Brother now. The total compensation is 420,000 taels. Thank you for letting me win!"
Ling Dong gently waved the Beauty Fan. He thought to himself that Zuo Guangzong was really confident in his gambling skills. No wonder he lost to him in his previous life.
"Well said, well said! 420,000 taels. Thank you for letting me win! " While speaking, Ling Dong hugged the thick stack of banknotes on the gambling table and brought it in front of him. As he hugged it, he said sarcastically, "Brothers, you guys are really rich. Even my father wouldn't be able to take out a few hundred thousand taels!"
"Wait, you lost. Why are you hugging …" Seeing Ling Dong's actions, Zuo Guangzong's expression changed. He thought that Ling Dong was going to act shamelessly. He sneered and was about to use his trump card when he saw the open dice cup. In that instant, he felt as if he was struck by lightning!
"This is impossible!" Zuo Guangzong's eyes turned red as he roared madly.
Ling An, who had just caught his breath, was anxious. He couldn't care less about his plan. He grabbed Zuo Guangzong's collar and scolded, "Didn't you claim to be unparalleled in gambling? How can you call such a small number big? You have to pay me back! "
Seeing Ling An's reaction, Ling Dong smiled. Ling An's action saved him the trouble of talking. It would be strange if Zuo Guangzong didn't come to make a comeback.
Zuo Guangzong's face was ashen as he was grabbed by Ling An. The corners of his mouth were incomparably bitter. He actually encountered such a one-in-a-thousand error rate. He had deliberately lost in the previous rounds, but this time … his luck was too bad. Before he left today, he even purposely used incense to wash his hands.
Ling Zhuo and Zuo Guangqi were still standing in a daze. Their complexions had also turned deathly pale. How could they take out more than a hundred thousand silver taels?
"Don't worry … Don't worry. The next round, the next round will definitely not be wrong. Trust me, aren't the previous rounds all very accurate?" Zuo Guangzong's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he spoke with a trembling voice. At this point, there was no need to be secretive. The most important thing was to get back the 400,000 taels of silver that had taken up most of the public funds!
"Again? Do you still have money to gamble? "Ling Dong spat disdainfully.
"Let me make it clear, I won't accept any bets below ten thousand taels! Originally, with eight consecutive victories, Third Brother wanted to quit while he was ahead. But seeing you guys lose so miserably, Third Brother can't just take the money and leave. How about this? Let's play it perfectly today. You have two more chances to win it all back! "
Ling Dong pushed the huge pile of banknotes in front of him and exclaimed in admiration, "Tsk tsk, nearly 450,000 taels of silver! It's equivalent to half a year's income of my Ling family!"
It would have been better if Ling Dong didn't mention this matter. The moment he did, Ling An, Ling Zhuo, and Zuo Guangqi's eyes turned red. Each of them gnashed their teeth and glared at Zuo Guangzong. Their expressions seemed to say that if he didn't win it all back, they would skin him alive. This frightened Zuo Guangzong.
"We only lost one round. I'll win the next round as well! We'll decide the winner in one round. Do you dare? "Zuo Guangzong gritted his teeth and said.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Ling Dong pointed at the pile of banknotes and sneered, "I have 450,000 taels of silver here. As long as you guys can take out the same amount, there's nothing wrong with deciding the winner in one round!"
"Good, Third Brother is still the most straightforward!" Zuo Guangzong gritted his teeth and took out a dark green sword from his back.
"Clang!"
As soon as Zuo Guangzong took out the sword, a cold air filled the air. "This was a birthday gift from my grandfather on my 15th birthday. It's a low-grade innate weapon. It can increase one's energy by ten percent! I'll bet on this! It's worth 100,000 taels of silver, right? "Zuo Guangzong gritted his teeth and asked.
"A low-grade innate weapon? What use would I have for it? Zuo Liuzhi, do you think I'm a country bumpkin? Do you think my Ling family would want a low-grade innate weapon like yours? Are you trying to sell a rock like it's gold? 10,000 taels of silver. Take it or leave it! "Ling Dong raised a finger and scolded. Zuo Guangzong was born with six fingers and loved to gamble, so he used the nickname Zuo Liuzhi.
"You …" Zuo Guangzong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Although a low-grade innate weapon wasn't rare in an innate family, it could easily be sold for 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver outside. 10,000 taels of silver wasn't even enough to cover the cost!
However, the situation was beyond his control. Now that he had to find a way to recover his losses, he could only let Ling Dong set the price and bet without hesitation. In Zuo Guangzong's opinion, he lost the previous round because of his bad luck. He would definitely win the next round and win back his losses with interest!
"Brothers, let's all join in. I'll definitely be able to recover my losses this round!" Zuo Guangzong asked Ling An, Ling Zhuo, and Zuo Guangqi for help. Unknowingly, Zuo Guangzong had fallen into the mindset of a gambler to recover his losses.
Seeing Zuo Guangzong's confident appearance, the other three chose to believe in Zuo Guangzong again. After all, Zuo Guangzong's gambling skills were there for all to see. Moreover, Zuo Guangzong's previous bets were all correct. A single mistake … seemed forgivable!
Therefore, one person put up a jade pendant, while the other person put up an agate. They tossed and turned from head to toe. In the end, they even put up a secret manual of exquisite bedroom techniques.
Ling Dong naturally kept pushing down the price. The agate that was worth 10,000 taels of silver was pushed down to 3,000 taels of silver. There was nothing they could do about it. Who asked Ling Dong to hold the initiative and they didn't have any money?
"You bunch of trash. You only put up 80,000 to 90,000 taels of silver. Even if I'm benevolent and give you 100,000 taels of silver, it's impossible to determine the outcome in one round, right? I have nearly 500,000 taels of silver here. If I agree, wouldn't I, Ling Dong, become the number one fool in the world? "Ling Dong sneered.
When Zuo Guangzong and the other three heard Ling Dong's words, they felt like vomiting blood. You reduced an item worth 300,000 taels of silver to less than 100,000 taels of silver. This is called being benevolent? Is there anyone as benevolent as you?
"Out of money? If there's no money, I'm leaving. Third Brother doesn't have the time to stand here with you! "Ling Dong kept the money and pretended to leave.
This time, the four of them became anxious. If they let Ling Dong leave, they would all be finished. Just as they were exchanging glances, the pale-faced Zuo Guangzong suddenly slammed an item onto the gambling table, as if he had done a great struggle. "Ling Dong, how much is this Xiantian Pearl worth?"
"Xiantian Pearl!" Seeing the dark green bead suddenly appear on the gambling table, everyone exclaimed in unison. Even Ling Dong, who had seen countless treasures, was moved when he heard this.
The dark green Xiantian Pearl, also known as the Xiantian Wood Energy Pearl, was extremely rare. Its greatest use was to aid in cultivation.
Martial artists in the Kuixing Continent cultivated the energy of earth energy. When they circulated their energy, it would almost certainly harm their meridians and body. This was especially true for martial artists below Xiantian Realm Level Nine!
If one spent twelve hours a day cultivating earth energy, they would have to circulate a special technique to heal their meridians for six hours. It could be said that it was twice the effort for half the result. However, if one cultivated with the Xiantian Wood Energy Pearl, they would be able to use the wood energy to heal their meridians while cultivating earth energy. Martial artists with the Xiantian Wood Energy Pearl would be twice as fast as those without it. It could be said that it was twice the result with half the effort.
Natural Woodenergy Pearls were extremely precious. Even in his previous life, Ling Dong was only able to obtain a Natural Woodenergy Pearl at the age of 200 when he was at the 4th grade of the Earthly Fiend Realm. However, it was useless to him now and was auctioned off for a high price of 1,200,000.
"This thing is barely passable …" Ling Dong waved the Beauty Fan and commented. Zuo Guangzong almost vomited blood when he heard that. This thing was borrowed from his brother, Zuo Guangyu, for a month to help him break through to Houtian Realm Level Six.
"Second Brother … isn't this Xiantian Pearl with Big Brother? You can't lose it for him …" Zuo Guangqi couldn't hold it in any longer and reminded him.
"You don't have to worry about that! Besides, do you think I'll lose? " Zuo Guangzong, who was in the mood to gamble, straightened his neck and replied stiffly. He then looked at Ling Dong and said, "Ling Dong, just say it. How much are you offering? I'll say this first. If you do the same thing as before, I'll leave immediately! "At this point, he didn't even address Zuo Guangzong as his third brother.
After being reminded by Zuo Guangqi, Zuo Guangzong also remembered that today's most important goal was to scheme against Ling Dong. However, he had his own ideas. As long as he put this Xiantian Pearl on the line, the price would definitely not be low. As long as he turned the tables, not only would he get back all the things he lost, but Ling Dong would also owe him a huge debt!
"You, Left Six Fingers, are really going all out today. Fine, this Xiantian Pearl has never been sold for less than one million taels in the auction at Kui Xing Hall. Let's set it at one million taels! However, in this way, the bet between us will be unbalanced. I don't have that many treasures to make up for the difference! " Ling Dong stared at the dark green Xiantian Wood Qi Bead and said. He had already taken a fancy to this Xiantian Wood Qi Bead. Who wouldn't like a treasure that could double the cultivation speed?
"It doesn't matter. Who doesn't know that third brother is a man of his words. If you really lose, I think you won't go back on your words!" Seeing that Ling Dong had taken the bait, Zuo Guangzong almost laughed out loud. Although there were some accidents in today's plan, in the end, all roads led to the same goal. In the end, he could still make Ling Dong, this idiot, owe a huge debt. Then he could complete the task and get the reward!
"Third brother, from now on, there's no hurry. Let's just compare the number of dice. Should I throw first?"
"Up to you. Just be quick!" Ling Dong said, feeling a little bored.
"Okay!" Zuo Guangzong's six fingers flashed and grabbed three jade dice. However, he didn't throw them immediately. Instead, he solemnly held them in his hands and blew on them. Then, his lips began to move, as if he was praying for something …
"Zuo Liuzhi, are you trying to invite the gods again? Don't invite the Great Aunt Flo here and there … "
After being interrupted by Ling Dong, Zuo Guangzong hurriedly retracted the dice that he was about to throw. He glared at Ling Dong with dissatisfaction and repeated the previous procedure. Lifting and releasing his wrist, he finally threw the dice.
Zuo Guangzong couldn't help but take it seriously. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of silver notes and treasures, even the Xiantian Wood Qi Bead that couldn't be bought with money, he couldn't afford to lose any of them!
