Chapter 70 Craftsmanship
Cui Ming said: "I feel that I can tolerate the discomfort." Tonight is different from the past, and I have to kill a giant insect. Cui Ming thinks it is not a big problem.
Beiyue nodded: "I really have no choice but to..."
Li Qing suddenly asked: "Did the lost civilization you mentioned have been infighting with the throne thousands of years ago, and suddenly disappeared into a small town with thousands of people in the desert?"
Beiyue nodded: "Yes."
Li Qing said seriously: "That place is a penalty area. There are many forbidden areas in the league, all of which are places where powerful creatures exist. What outsiders know is generally Antarctic, and several Arctic restricted areas, you cannot go without any restrictions, just telling you it is very dangerous. In private, Langke's Pirate City is a penalty area, and the sea line of the East Continent from the East to the West Continent is also a penalty area. The mysterious place of magic is also a penalty area, and Shadow Island close to the North Pole is an absolute penalty area. Among the three continents with a large population, there are seven penalty areas, and the place you are talking about is one of the penalty areas."
Ding Ze said: "We fought with that giant insect, and it was indeed thick in skin, but Yue and I could defeat him."
Beiyue nodded: "Yes." One-on-one is a bit troublesome, two-on-one can be easily won.
Li Qing said: "There must be a reason for the penalty area. For example, if Mote we met, if he is very strong and unwilling to join the league, the league will consider setting a zone for him, which is called a penalty area. To put it bluntly, the so-called penalty area means that the creatures or practitioners inside are very powerful, and they cannot be dealt with by the league by sending a few people."
It is a kind of compromise. Of course, the strength of the alliance is extremely huge. You will not be afraid of a forbidden zone, but you will not mobilize the alliance to eliminate it because you are not my race. You are taking a relatively gentle method to draw a field for you and agree with each other that you cannot leave this field. At the same time, we cannot bend you. If outsiders enter this field, you can do it yourself. It means drawing the land as king. The Arctic and Antarctic are another type of forbidden zone. There are too many unknowns in these two places.
Beiyue said: "The father of the classical boss is a member of the alliance. The old man lives in seclusion in Chuxiao City. He can't not know that it is a forbidden area, right?"
Cui Ming said: "I think the classical boss knows the dangers of that area, so he hires you to protect the old experts. If you can't protect the experts, the place will have no value for development, and that expert will have no value to him." There are many bad people in this world.
Beiyue hesitated: "Apart from this order, we have no other way to make money at the moment."
Li Qing said: "The house cannot be sold. Even if it is sold, there are many procedures. You can't get money in the short term. Let's do this. We will find a remote mountain range for the training ground. As for living expenses and travel expenses to Heroes City, we can accept some civil entrustment."
"Civil commission?"
Li Qing brought the newspaper from his side, groped for a while, and pointed: "Civil bulletin board."
There are many civil notice boards, and there are special places in Chuxiaocheng to post notices to the public. Generally, they are looking for dogs and cats, missing people, catching traitors, etc. Most of them are completed by private detectives in Chuxiaocheng. However, there are also a small number of jobs that are more risky and have relatively high rewards.
"Don't think about it, all these jobs have been taken over by private detectives." Cui Ming stood up and said, "Give me one thousand eight, I'll go to the casino to make some money and deal with it first."
Beiyue reminded: "Just..."
Cui Ming explained: "Boss, I am a casino blacklist, which means that I can't make more than 100,000 yuan in the casino every month. On the other hand, I can get tens of thousands of yuan in living expenses every month as a blacklist. This is reasonable and legal, and it complies with all the laws and all regulations of the casino." You can bet, but you can't win more than 100,000 yuan, but Cui Ming can't just leave without gambling, and it's okay to leave with 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. This depends on the blacklist and the casino itself.
Mi Xiaonan looked at Cui Ming with admiration: "Brother Cui, what qualifications are needed to become the blacklist?"
Cui Ming replied: "Xiao Nan, when you get the top three in the Eternal Star Poker Competition, you can become a blacklist."
Mi Xiaonan asked: "Which brother Cui is the number one?"
Cui Ming smiled and said nothing, and grabbed an A-spades with both fingers, threw them to Mi Xiaonan, and went out.
...
When he went out at noon, Cui Ming brought back 30,000 yuan in the evening. The casino manager bet with Cui Ming for a game. After discussion, he directly gave Cui Ming 30,000 yuan, asking Cui Ming to use the quota of 100,000 yuan this month. Cui Ming did not bully others, and agreed and took the money home. When Mi Xiaonan saw 30,000 yuan in cash, he commented on it: "It is important to master a craft."
Crafts refer to crafts outside the Force, such as the Ninja's killing technique. After dinner, Li Qing took away 30,000 yuan, took Mi Xiaonan out, came back at 2 a.m. The 30,000 cash turned into 300,000 yuan. Where can I make money? I went to the underground black fist, and I didn't use Force, and won two games with martial arts and lost one game. Mi Xiaonan bets as Li Qing ordered, and the two went home happily. They were intercepted by the gang on the way, and then...and there was nothing to say.
When Mi Xiaonan came back, she showed great surprise and appreciation. In Mi Xiaonan's opinion, Li Qing's real martial arts level was very high.
At three o'clock in the morning, Mi Xiaonan and Cui Ming gave a message and left, silently. Until they came back at 7 o'clock the next morning, they caught Cui Ming and whispered. Cui Ming immediately entered the city with Mi Xiaonan, went to the lottery point, bought the zihua, and the lottery was drawn at 10 o'clock in the morning, and 300,000 became nine million.
The so-called zihua is an ancient gambling game. Simply put, there are thirty-six number cards, one to thirty-six, shuffling the back face down. The dealer puts one of the numbers in the brochure and hangs it high in the store. Then everyone bets. After a few hours or days, the dealer takes off the brochure and opens it.
Zihua is the favorite gambling method of people in the East Mainland. It is open and transparent, and there are some interesting rules. The dealer knows the cards in the tips in advance. In order to attract gamblers to place bets, the dealer will give some ambiguous tips. For example, a tree, a sheep, a stream, and thirty-six cards correspond to the twelve zodiac signs. Some people will guess it is a sheep, buy the numbers of three sheep, some people will count the number of branches, etc. Once these people win the prize, they will regard the accidental or multiple purchases as a way to guess the lottery themselves, and will become addicted from then on, hopeless, and their families will be destroyed.
