My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 9 Gambling Luck (Part )

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's mind buzzed.

He understood it all at once.

Jiang Chen finally understood why his father was always wandering around.

Because he chose the precept of having no fixed place to live!

The one who receives the precepts!
It turns out that it’s not referring to the ring, but the commandment!

At the same time, he also understood why the young people before died.

It's not that he has to say thank you when he leaves the intersection, but he chose the etiquette person.

He didn't follow the etiquette, so he died!

If you break the rules you will die!!!
what should I do?
Animal protection? Ants are also animals, right? If I choose this, won't I become an extreme animal protectionist? Will I have to walk carefully from now on?

No no no.

Abstain from lying? Don’t tell lies? Then won’t you become an honest person from now on?

No no no!

As for cuckolds and stocking collectors, let alone, it's impossible.

Although married women are nice, you have to go and hook up with them every week! What if you fail to hook up with them one day?
The talent of being homeless is great, but isn’t it too miserable to move every three days?
Jiang Chen really didn't want to repeat his father's mistakes.

Revenge for every grievance... This is a bit too much, forget it.

I stand up for justice when I see it wrong... This is totally against my moral principles. If I had bought this before, I wouldn't be able to watch the young people's challenge.

Electric shockers... not only do they torture themselves every day, but what if there is no electricity in some places? Bring your own electric baton and stab yourself every day?

As for being eloquent, that's okay, but the problem is that there's no one there where I am now.

They are all ghosts!

Are ghosts considered strangers?

But the task is only twelve hours, so even if it doesn’t count, I can still make up for the homework when I go back.

As for the etiquette master, it seems okay, but the talent bonus is too low, right? The key is that if you don't pay attention to etiquette at any time, you will die!

I can't bow and say "please give me your advice" before starting the film, right?

Jiang Chen looked around and found nothing to choose from, so he finally chose the silver tongue: "Let's go with this one."

I hope ghosts are considered strangers. Besides, there are 24 hours in a day, right? If I can't make it here, I should be able to make up for it when I go back.

"No problem!" The old man laughed strangely, picked up the wooden sign and threw it at Jiang Chen.

At the same time, the system prompts:

"Gain the precepts - be eloquent."

The old man said, "You can have up to three commandments. Do you want to buy more? If you have two commandments, you don't need to pay the toll."

Shit, I find it troublesome to do even one.

Why would I spend money to buy shackles for myself?
Jiang Chen shook his head, paid the money and was about to leave.

Suddenly I thought of something and turned around to ask the old man: "There was someone before, and you didn't say this to him."

The old man laughed and said, "I have some feelings towards you, so I'll give you a little reminder for free."

Silver tongue?

Improve others' liking for you?
So, the silver tongue works on ghosts too?
Jiang Chen understood and nodded, "Thank you."

Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the contents of the letter:

"If conditions permit, try to explore the gains of the novice level as much as possible, as that is the most cost-effective return on investment."

He looked at the old man and said, "Is there anything you can advise about people like us? I can pay for it."

The old man laughed strangely: "Try not to save any money, but there is no need to sell too many lives, they will be useful in the future. This information is ten dollars."

Jiang Chen paid the money, thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything worthwhile for a newcomer to invest in?"

"Hmm." The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that you still have a lot of life left. If you are willing to take a chance, you can go find the owner of Yunhai Casino. As long as you have the ability, the investment is low and the return is high. Hehehehe. This information is ten dollars."

Yunhai Casino?

Jiang Chen turned around and looked across.

There, inside a red building, a fat man was sitting.

There were ten eyes on his fat face, moving around everywhere, each eye at a different angle. Jiang Chen thanked the old man, paid the money, and then turned to enter the Yunhai Casino.

Coming to the fat man with ten eyes, Jiang Chen asked, "Do you have any good recommendations?"

The ten-eyed old man looked at Jiang Chen, his mouth wide open, stretching all the way to his ears: "Here we only gamble, not sell."

"How to bet?" Jiang Chen asked.

The fat man with ten eyes laughed and said, "Blind box, 800 yuan each time."

Jiang Chen left silently.

He cut himself three more times and sold it for 2150 yuan - the last time was so awesome that he cut out an extra kidney.

With 2430 yuan, Jiang Chen returned to the Yunhai Casino.

Jiang Chen had no idea what he could get from a blind box betting of 800 yuan, so he could only give it a try.

Coming to the fat man with ten eyes, the fat man took out three identical black boxes.

He laughed and said, "In the name of the great law of chaos, the total value of the things in these three boxes is over three thousand dollars, but each box has a different value. I wish you good luck!"

As he said this he waved his hand.

Jiang Chen looked at the three boxes, but unfortunately he couldn't judge their value no matter how hard he looked at them.

Finally he chose the middle box.

When the fat man with ten eyes opened the box, he saw a stream of light appear in the box and flow into Jiang Chen's body.

"You have been given the commandment to take revenge."

Dry!
Jiang Chen almost cursed out loud.

Is this another commandment?
It's only 200 bucks across the street, okay? I'm out 600 bucks now?

Blind boxes are risky, so be careful when opening them!
Jiang Chen's face twitched.

What happened to the promise of using eloquence to increase favorability?
It’s useless!
Oh, yes, isn't there a rule against killing familiar people in life? I have a crush on you, but it doesn't affect my ability to cheat you out of money!
Loving you means I have to kill you?
Dad, you don’t love me this much, do you?
Looking at the fat guy again, there was a sly smile in his eyes.

Looking at that look, Jiang Chen had an inexplicable feeling.

The fat guy might be up to something!
Three new boxes were laid out again, and the fat man still let him choose, but the smiles in his ten eyes flashing looked spooky no matter how you looked at them.

This expression is like "I cheated" written on his face!

Did your father teach you not to gamble?

Maybe not.

What to do then?

Suddenly he remembered something.

Two years ago, his father once sent him a video.

It was a video of a TV drama, in which the chief of a certain army was conducting a sand table simulation on the computer with his subordinates. The chief launched an attack, and his subordinates intercepted it perfectly, but found that the attack deviated from the target and flew outside the predetermined attack area.

Afterwards, the leader said to his subordinates, "You lost because I attacked the dam upstream of you. The dam was blown up, causing the downstream to be destroyed by floods. You can't just focus on the present and ignore the long-term..."

Jiang Chen was dismissive of this statement.

Because according to this statement, you can bomb any place in the country, and then say that the defense zone is not well guarded. To put it bluntly, you are the superior, and you can do whatever you say.

If you claim the “final right of interpretation”, who can beat you?

But when he told this to his father, his father responded, "Maybe you are right, but the reality is that countless places have their own final right of interpretation. As the makers of the rules, or even the powerful, they have the right to set up hidden rules. You can't fight against them, so you can only see through them. If you can't see through them, you can only be played. Remember this a hundred times."

Thinking of this at this moment, Jiang Chen also became thoughtful.

Could it be that there are other hidden rules behind gambling on luck?
Jiang Chen's brain was spinning rapidly, recalling everything.

Hypothetically… let’s assume for a moment that this guy can cheat, then whatever I choose would be wrong.

Point out that he cheated?
No cheating methods were found, so doing this seems a bit like seeking death.

but……

Jiang Chen suddenly remembered a Hong Kong movie he had watched before.

A slight smile curled up his lips.

Reaching out his hand, Jiang Chen grabbed a box.
