"You met a group of Demon Cult bandits, and you were robbed of 1 tael of silver... Ah!? Why! My Chain Fairy is very powerful, and I will definitely defeat them!"

After reading the events described on the [Experience Card], Shi Fenglan was very angry.

"So this is the rule, how can you gamble if you don't follow the rules in gambling." Jiang Beiran said while poker-facedly preparing to take away a piece of blue paper with one or two words written in front of Shi Fenglan, but the latter grabbed it.

"Well... can't you grab a little less?" Shi Fenglan said with big watery eyes.

"No, let go, do you want to gamble?"

"Okay..." Shi Fenglan let go of her hand with a mournful face, then slapped the back of her right hand with her left hand and said, "I told you to throw a four! But it's a two! Stinky hand!"

"It's your turn." Jiang Beiran looked at Xiaoduo and said.

Rubbing her little hands together, Xiaoduo carefully rolled the dice in her hand.

"one."

Seeing that the dice slowly stopped on the side of the red dot, Xiaoduo picked up Peter Pan and walked forward one square on the chessboard full of landscape paintings.

"Jianghu incident."

As she said that, Xiaoduo conveniently took away the card at the top of the pile of cards next to the "gambling board".

"You were named Outstanding Hero of the Year, and you got 2 taels of silver, and a Fengling Sword... Wow, so many rewards."

Xiaoduo shouted extremely excitedly.

"Here, here is your Fengling sword." Jiang Beiran took out one from the item card and handed it to Xiaoduo.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang." With a sweet cry, Xiaoduo took the card and read in a low voice: "The effect is that you can kill the members of the Demon Cult you meet on the road."

"Ah!" Shi Fenglan slammed the table, looking enviously at the card in Xiaoduo's hand.

Feeling Shi Fenglan's eager eyes, Xiaoduo handed the card to Shi Fenglan and said, "If the hall master likes it, give it to the hall master."

"Really!?" Shi Fenglan was delighted.

Jiang Beiran looked at it and coughed lightly: "Cough! Pay attention to the rules, don't give it away."

"Just kidding, my hall master doesn't need such props to win you. Hurry up, Xiao Beiran, it's your turn."

Jiang Beiran nodded and threw the dice.

In the next hour, Yu Manwen returned to the Garden of Mirrors with brisk steps, but when he was walking towards the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

'Since when did I go back to the Hall Master instead of going back to my own room when I returned to the Garden of Mirrors? '

Although Yu Manwen used to be an inspector, he only went to Shi Fenglan's place to check occasionally. However, recently, Tinglan Waterside Pavilion has almost become her home.

'After all, there are more people who don't worry about it. '

After explaining something in his heart, Yu Manwen came to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, and heard the familiar noise of the hall master.

"Xiao Beiran~ This is my last three coins, please let me owe you, please~"

'Um? How did you bet money? Yu Manwen frowned and walked into the main hall.

"Greetings to Protector Yu." Seeing Yu Manwen coming in, Jiang Beiran, who was sitting at the front door, stood up and saluted.

Glancing at the huge landscape painting chessboard on the table, Yu Manwen asked, "Where did you get so many new tricks?"

"When I was an iron seal, I saw a lot of traveling around, so I wrote down some interesting gambling methods."

"I told you several times to stop teaching our Hall Master badly, so you just ignored it, right?"

"The disciple has no other choice. You asked me not to teach, but the hall master asked me to teach. Both of them are high-level people, so it's very difficult for me to be caught in the middle."

When Shi Fenglan heard that the "firepower" had been transferred to her, she quickly stood up and looked at Yu Manwen and explained: "I didn't ask Xiao Beiran to teach me how to gamble, it was... yes... Xiaoduo let me."

"Ah?" Xiaoduo, who was calculating how much money she still had, was taken aback after hearing this, and just about to open her mouth to take the big and round black pot, she saw Yu Manwen frowned, "Huh?"

"Okay...it's me, it's me." Shi Fenglan bowed her head and admitted.

Sighing helplessly, Yu Manwen walked to the table, looked at the majestic chessboard, looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "What kind of gambling is this?"

"The advanced version of Xia Ke Xing, you can call it Xiaoyao Jianghu Tour."

'It's pretty good at naming. '

With a chuckle in his heart, Yu Manwen asked again: "I just heard outside that our hall master owes you money?"

"Oh, this is it." Jiang Beiran picked up a piece of paper with [one tael of silver] and handed it to Yu Manwen: "A few days ago, I heard Hall Master Shi say that a plate of beef costs one tael of silver, so I thought It's fun and educational, so she has some concepts about money."

However, it was precisely after knowing that Shi Fenglan lacked common sense that Jiang Beiran became more firm in his previous guess, that Shi Fenglan, the hall master, was definitely "airborne".

Because even if she was the eldest lady of a certain family before joining the sect, like Fang Qiuyao and the others, it would be difficult for her to learn it after going down the mountain for a few times.

However, Shi Fenglan's world view is still such a "fairy tale" even after becoming the hall master, which shows that she must not have climbed up step by step.

"I heard that Mr. Shu said so. The heroes in those stories would pay a piece of silver to settle the bill after eating beef in the hotel." After speaking, he immediately added: "But now I know that's not the case. Look, Manwen, you can learn something from gambling."

"No matter how hype you say, gambling is gambling, and you can't play for too long."

"Yes~ I know."

After agreeing, Shi Fenglan turned around and continued to beg Jiang Beiran: "Beiran~ Just let me owe you, and I will pay you back as soon as I go to the pawnshop and sell the jade bracelet I just picked up."

"No." Jiang Beiran still shook his head.

"Hmph, stingy! Just give it to you!" Shi Fenglan said and handed her last three big bills to Jiang Beiran.

'A jade bracelet? pawnshop? Yu Manwen, who was watching, suddenly became curious.

Seeing Yu Manwen standing still, Shi Fenglan suddenly showed a sly smile.

In fact, when they were playing Knight Walk yesterday, she found that Yu Manwen was very interested, and she would glance at it from time to time, with a eager expression on her face, but it was only her supervisory duties that made her hold back.

'Hmm... No wonder so many people like to gamble, it's really interesting. '

Playing until dinner time, Shi Fenglan, who finally counterattacked Xiaoduo and won the second place, danced happily. Then when Jiang Beiran put away the "gambling board" and was about to leave, Shi Fenglan suddenly shouted, "Wait, this is for you."

As soon as Jiang Beiran looked up, he saw Shi Fenglan bring out a wooden box from under the table.

"This is… ?"

"Promise your magic weapon for self-defense, come and see if you are satisfied."

"Thank you Hall Master Shi."

After thanking him, Jiang Bei ran forward to open the box and found that it contained a purple-gold feather coat.

At the same time, two options appeared before his eyes.

[Option 1: "It's too expensive, I can't accept it." Completion reward: Baizhang Finger (top-grade yellow)]

[Option 2: "I don't know what magic weapon this is?" Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
