"So our bet, which is almost Etherian's biggest bet, is going to be like this?"

Chen Yang felt that it was a bit nonsense. This matter was said quite casually. In fact, it was too easy for the other party to cheat - just talk hard.

But the fact is that Mabu agreed with this bet, and he felt that Florence would never lie.

"Chen Yang, I want to tell you a story."

Frances refilled a cup of coffee for him, and the latter said thank you.

"Of course, please speak."

"Boss, can this guy cheat?"

Soron watched there for a long time, during which he also gambled twice with Florence, and almost threw away his underwear when he lost.

"Won't."

Chen Yang waved his hand and made a listening gesture.

"I remember the first time I gambled. It was when I was fourteen years old." Frances said.

"That day, an old childhood friend and I, of course, we are no longer together now, took me to the casino in the town. It was a cramped room hidden in the basement of a pub, and the kerosene lamp in it was very inferior. It smells musty.”

"At the beginning, I didn't understand what was done there. My friend was very precocious. At that age, he had done almost everything except killing people. It's still amazing to think about it now."

"That's nothing! My mother's necklace was stolen from me right after I was born! She looked for it for two months! Finally she got the necklace in my crotch!"

Soron was extremely proud. He felt that his talent as a child completely overwhelmed the God of Gamblers.

"No one here is willing to hear about your great achievements for now, Thoron, shut up now. Otherwise, I will ask Ichabod to take you back, and then let him teach you the etiquette of going out."

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, this is a very interesting young man, I admire him very much."

Frances laughed it off and continued: "I remember that my family's conditions were quite good back then. My father died young and my mother raised me by herself. She was very good to me and always gave me pocket money that was much higher than that of my peers. Maybe that’s why my friends went to underground casinos with me.”

"On the first day, I used my pocket money to make a lot of money in the casino. I made about two gold coins from five silver coins. Those five silver coins were money that I had saved for a long time."

"I wanted to share that joy with my mother, but my friend stopped me in a very scary tone and told me to shut up. No one can know about this."

After that, I always hung out in the casino. I told my mother to go out to have fun, but secretly I hung out with the gamblers in the casino. There are losses and there are wins, but since the first day, I have never won again, I mean the total profit in one day.

Before I knew it, I lost all the two gold coins, and all the money I had been asking for from my mother all those days.

Speaking of this, Florence seemed a little annoyed.

"I felt uncomfortable all day long. My mother didn't ask any questions when she saw this. She just thought I had been wronged outside and comforted me. She bought some meat back and cooked me a bowl of broth."

"What happens after that? Do you still go to underground casinos?"

"Of course, it's just that I can't play anything because I have no money. I spend my daily pocket money and even food money on it, trying to earn back those two gold coins. I think, as long as I earn back my pocket money, that's it. Success will never come again."

"But I still couldn't do it. I lost more and more, and I was even so crazy that I borrowed money to gamble. My friends encouraged me. In the end, I calmed down and calculated the accounts carefully. I had already lost. I got more than fifty gold coins.”

Chen Yang glanced at the expression on Florence's face. He did have the temperament of a god of gambling. Even though it sounded like a very gloomy black history, this guy could still be calm and face it calmly, as if the past had become a thing of the past.

"I was so frightened that I really didn't dare to tell my mother. I borrowed a lot in those days, hoping to get my money back in one fell swoop, but I ended up getting deeper and deeper into the situation."

Frances raised his head, as if admonishing, but also reminding: "Gambling is never a good thing. If you lose, you will be deprived of what you originally had. If you win, it will be even worse. You will be deprived of what you should have." "He paused and looked serious, "Whether you win or lose, gambling will always make you lose everything."

Chen Yang was convinced that there were poor people on the Blue Star in his previous life who lost their families due to gambling. At this time, he had gradually guessed Florence's intentions.

"Mr. Frances, what you said is really true. You will lose every bet."

"Well, you summed it up really well, that's it." Frances agreed very much and nodded vigorously.

"But the debt collectors came to my door, completely shattering my remaining thoughts. Not only did I not win back a single copper, I also owed a bunch of foreign debt. My mother bought all the belongings, so that I could exchange my debt. The price of going up is that we have to withdraw from the warm house and move to the cold bridge."

Even Frances could not hide his pain when talking about this period of history.

"Unexpectedly, my mother didn't beat me or even blame me. She went to work as usual and just told me not to gamble anymore."

Chen Yang didn't dare to speak because he knew that such gamblers often have a but...

As expected, France whispered: "But then, I went to gamble again. The hysterical desire and the stupid idea of ​​winning back were like immortal insects, torturing me and driving me crazy."

"As a result, we couldn't pay the debt. We had to use almost all of my mother's salary and my meager salary from odd jobs to pay the debt. Even eating became a problem."

"My mother had fewer and fewer jewelry. Those were her most precious things. In the end, they were all gone. At the same time, the debt was paid off."

Chen Yang felt a little pity, but also felt that he deserved it. This matter was entirely his own fault. The great mother was just an innocent victim.

"I don't know why I was such a jerk. I had a bad temper during that time. I was already in my thirties, penniless, and had no job. I drank and gambled all day long, and my mother always looked at me and acted according to my mood."

"I remember that on the last night, I did something crazy. I set the town's temple on fire for a little profit, and then lost everything. I went home and complained to my mother that I always lost."

"The next morning, my mother made me a bowl of meat soup after a long absence, and looked at me pitifully, asking me to stay away from the town. There was no room for me there. In addition to a pile of foreign debts, there were countless crimes I had committed, and I was discovered."

"After leaving the town, I never lost again. I don't know why, I made a lot of money, and I couldn't spend it all, but my mother was gone. She only left me a bowl of meat soup. She was beaten to death by the debt collector."

Tears fell, and the gambling god could no longer hold back his tears.

"Finally I came to Aetherion. I wanted to lose everything, lose this halo, roll into the stinking ditch, get beaten and broken, and rot in the dirty sewer. That was the destination I deserved."

"But I never lost. After endless victories, I got tired and started reading books, endless reading. The magical fruit I bought when I had endless wealth kept me young and alive until now."

"Chen Yang, you must have just bought into the field of gambling. There is no sense of emptiness in your eyes. I hope you can understand that no gambler has a good ending. They have only one ending in the end - losing everything."

Folence said seriously: "Every time you gamble, you will lose. So, do you think I want to win or lose?"
