Legend of the Gu Demon

Chapter 38: First encounter with casino fighting bugs

In the gambling stone square, the crowds are surging,

Ningchen held the few stones he bought in his hands and weighed them gently, groping the texture with his fingertips, as if trying to figure out whether there were any poisonous insects in them.

"Could it be that I got it wrong? Is he a veteran? I can't even imagine his financial resources."

The female Gu Master on the side looked at Ningchen's meticulous movements and couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

As soon as Ningchen entered the gambling stone workshop, the female Gu Master noticed him.

But just looking at appearance and clothes, Age Ningchen is just an ordinary student. If he were a Gu Master in the village, he would have a bronze medal hanging on his waist.

Therefore, the female Gu Master took the initiative to greet Ningchen when he entered the Stone Gambling Workshop, in an attempt to extract more Yuan Stones from this student.

After all, looking at his age alone, she didn't think the boy in front of her was a veteran at betting on stones.

And this is indeed the case. Ordinary experienced stone gamblers will not pay the bill so readily. They will usually pick up the stone and ponder it for a long time, carefully feeling the color and texture of the stone.

Generally speaking, only the smooth-looking gambling stones have a greater chance of containing Gu insects, but the stones chosen by Ningchen were all uneven and uneven.

If other stone bettors saw it, they would secretly sigh.

"What kind of young master is this? He is squandering Yuanshi like this."

"Twenty yuan stones, this is not a small sum for a student!"

"Hmph, I don't see what kind of young master he is. He is clearly an incompetent person who wasted his parents' assets."

The cynicism on the side clearly reached Ningchen's ears, but Ningchen just turned a deaf ear.

After all, how can a group of mortals with only a few hundred years of experience understand themselves?

"The morning bacteria don't know Hui Shuo, and the crickets don't know Spring and Autumn"

You can't talk to a group of mortals with little experience about how wonderful the world outside Qingmao Mountain is, or how big these five realms are in two days.

Just like you can't talk about spring, summer, autumn and winter to a mayfly that only lives for one day, or you can't talk about how vast the sky is to a frog at the bottom of a well,

They cannot understand it at all, and it is impossible for them to understand it!

Ningchen paid no attention, his face remained calm, and he quietly weighed the stubborn stone in his hand.

"Master, if you don't know how to deconstruct stones, we actually have a master who specializes in deconstructing stones, so we can guarantee that the Gu insects inside will not be harmed."

The female Gu Master on the side couldn't stand Ning Chen's repeated considerations, so she took the initiative to remind her,

"Oh, no need, I can solve stones."

Ningchen raised his head and smiled faintly, then he exerted force on his fingertips and trembled slightly,

With a bang, the stubborn stone in his hand turned into handfuls of gravel, quietly flowing down from between Ningchen's fingers.

The female Gu Master's eyelids jumped suddenly when she saw this, and she couldn't help but secretly curse in her heart.

"This is a stone-breaking method, doesn't it have a burst of brute force?"

"But being able to crush stubborn rocks with your bare hands is really scary!"

"It seems that he definitely comes from a very well-off family and has such strength. He must have used black Boar Gu, White Boar Gu, etc. to increase his strength. One of those kind of Gu can cost 500 yuan stones!"

Although I was full of slander in my heart, I still had a smile on my face.

"This young master's hand strength is really scary!"

The people on the side felt even more contemptuous when they saw that Ningchen's stone-breaking method was so crude.

Ningchen carefully felt the feeling just now. The words of the people on the side did not affect him at all.

"If there is a poisonous insect in it, I'm afraid I won't crush it to death. My behavior may seem rude and barbaric, but in fact it's very sophisticated!"

Although Ningchen majored in the art of heaven and earth and swordsmanship in his previous life, he could be said to be a rare opponent if not unrivaled in boxing skills.

Even though I can no longer use many of the boxing techniques from my previous life, the methods of exerting force are still available.

Which muscles exert force, which joints turn, and where the center of gravity is, these are all ways of exerting force.

Although Ningchen's method may seem crude, it actually does not harm the Gu insects at all.

Ningchen saw that there were no Gu insects on the first stone and kept moving his hands.

Bang~bang~The remaining two stones were crushed one after another, but no Gu worms were released. This was within Ningchen's expectation.

After all, lucky Gu masters who can obtain Gu insects by dissolving stones are often rare. They are all people with great luck. Naturally, Ningchen does not have such good luck.

Ningchen casually scattered the stone powder in his hand and turned around to leave the Stone Gambling Workshop. After all, he only came to unblock the stone to experience it, and had no intention of releasing the Gu worm.

If there are no expectations, there will be no disappointments.

He didn't stop at all, turned around and left, completely ignoring the efforts of the female Gu Master behind him to stay.

Gambling on stones is somewhat addictive. Many Gu Masters have exhausted their wealth by gambling on stones.

Ningchen walked out of the red tent in Gambling Stone Square, came outside, and let out a deep breath.

"It's still early, let's look at other things."

Ningchen looked around and muttered to himself,

Suddenly, his eyes caught on to a tent, and the sound coming from it still reached Ningchen's ears even though it was dozens of meters away.

Even though it was noisy, you could vaguely tell that it was a casino.

A slight smile appeared on Ningchen's lips, and he walked slowly towards the casino inside the tent.

"A big bet or a small bet?"

"Big! Big! Big!"

"Little! Little! Little!"

As soon as Ningchen stepped into the tent, the bookmaker surrounded Ningchen with a few teasing voices and excited voices from both sides of the bet.

Looking at the tabletop, it looks like a very simple game of comparing sizes with dice.

Ning Chen turned his head and saw another game unique to the Gu world on the table.

Fighting insects. As the saying goes, "Gu is the essence of heaven and earth, and humans are the spirits of all things."

In this world, there are also insects that are not Gu insects, and this game is to tame those strong insects that are not Gu insects,

Then bring them to the table for a battle. If one party's insect falls or steps down, it loses, and gamblers bet based on the size of the insects.

"In my opinion, the 'Wolverine Insect' here is stronger. I think it won the last game."

"Haha, kid, you still don't see enough. The 'Crystal Crab' here is stronger. It can be said that it can win seven out of ten games!"

The gambling here is obviously more intense than the one next to it. Big and small is much more gentle. Fighting insects is usually for fun. If you really want to experience the feeling of gambling, you should go to play the next door to compare big and small.

Looking at the entire casino, although there are dozens of tables, there are generally only these two games. After all, the area of ​​this casino is very limited.

Ningchen gently touched his chin, crossed his chest and looked at the gambling table quietly. His eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the table. His black eyes rarely showed a few traces of interest.

"Haha, speaking of it, I am a complete layman in this regard!"

Although Ningchen has lived three lives and experienced thousands of years, he only knows the simplest rules of this gambling game. As for the jargon and the way of playing, he knows nothing at all!
