Zhutian: I have many inventory

Chapter 27 Inventory Micro-Management (Revised)
"Yuan Dadu is thousands of kilometers away from Hubei. Even if the information is sent urgently, it will take at least half a month to arrive.

Then the other party learned that I had left Wudang Mountain and rushed to find me, which took at least another month, which means I am still safe now. "

Wang Tianming is still very wary of the masters around Wang Baobao.

No matter whether it is the two Xuanming Elders, or Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San, they are all at least first-rate and top masters in the world.

Even if Wang Tianming merged with the stone to form a stone body and could fight against first-rate masters, it was obviously impossible for him to withstand the siege of so many first-rate masters.

It is still very dangerous to face these people.

“It seems that I have to be careful to hide my identity and not be too high-profile.

Moreover, if I really face those masters from Ruyang Palace, even if I add huge stones to my inventory and turn myself into a stone body, it may not be enough.

This aspect still needs to be upgraded. It would be best to make an iron man made of pure iron as soon as possible.

By then, the inventory will be integrated with the Iron Man, and transformed into a body of steel, and you will be truly invincible."

Wang Tianming thought secretly in his heart and decided that the next plan would only focus on two things. One was to find the Bosuqu snake, and the other was to find pure iron to build an iron man.

After careful consideration, Wang Tianming did not return to Gucheng, but headed directly to Xiangyang City.

……

A few days later, Wang Tianming, in disguise, arrived at Xiangyang City.

This time, staying in the restaurant went very smoothly and nothing else happened.

After having a good rest in the restaurant, Wang Tianming began to search around Xiangyang City, trying to find the location of the Bosuqu snake, while also inquiring about the existence of large blacksmith shops.

About the Bosuqu snake.

Wang Tianming only remembered that in The Return of the Condor Heroes, after Yang Guo had his arm chopped off by Guo Fu, he rode a horse out of Xiangyang City. While running, he met the Divine Condor and was taken to Dugu Sword Tomb, where the Divine Condor killed the Bosuqu snake and took the snake gall for Yang Guo to eat.

Wang Tianming had no impression of the exact location of Dugu Sword Tomb. He didn't know whether it was not mentioned in the book The Return of the Condor Heroes, or whether Wang Tianming had forgotten this detail without noticing it.

There is no other way but to use the clumsy method to slowly search around.

Of course, it would be too inefficient for Wang Tianming to search alone, so he also hired villagers from the villages around Xiangyang City to help with the search.

But even so, after searching for several days and spending a lot of money, there was still no trace.

As for the blacksmith shop making the iron man.

After some investigation, Wang Tianming found out that the Yuan Dynasty had very strict control over iron, and ordinary people's kitchen knives, hoes and other iron objects needed to be registered.

The only ones who could get iron in large quantities were the martial arts sects that were not well controlled by the imperial court.

There are two major martial arts forces in Xiangyang City.

The largest force among them is the Beggars' Sect, which had been in control of Xiangyang City during the period of The Legend of the Condor Heroes because of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Although Xiangyang was later conquered by the Yuan army, which greatly weakened the Beggars' Sect, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Therefore, after several decades of recovery and development, its power is still considerable.

In addition to the Beggars' Sect, another force in Xiangyang City is the Giant Whale Gang.

Because Xiangyang is close to the Han River, the maritime gang the Giant Whale Gang also has a considerable force stationed in Xiangyang.

As for the Beggars' Sect, Wang Tianming did not dare to contact them rashly.

Because according to Wang Tianming's memory, in the original plot, A Da of Ruyang Palace was said to be the leader of the four elders of the Beggar Gang, an expert in swordsmanship, and famous in the world.

Because he could draw his sword so quickly, as if he had seven or eight arms, he was nicknamed "Eight-Armed Swordsman".

According to legend, he died of a serious illness, but in fact he took refuge in the Ruyang Palace and used the alias "A Da".

Because of this relationship, Wang Tianming now knew that he had been targeted by the Ruyang Palace, so it was naturally impossible for him to have too much contact with the Beggars' Sect.

Therefore, Wang Tianming found the blacksmith shop under the Giant Whale Gang and wanted to ask them to help build a humanoid iron man.

"You mean you want to build a human-sized pure iron man? Do you know how much iron costs? One pound of pig iron costs half a tael of silver, and this is just the cost of materials.

The iron man you want to build must be made of fine iron.

The price of refined iron is at least two or three taels of silver per pound, because it is difficult to refine. The material plus the refining cost requires at least two or three taels of silver per pound.

A fine iron man the size of a human must weigh at least a thousand pounds, which means it must cost at least several thousand taels of silver. Can you afford this price?"

When the blacksmith shop owner heard Wang Tianming's request to make an iron man out of fine iron, he immediately sneered, thinking it was somewhat funny that Wang Tianming had such a wild idea.

Why spend so much money to build an iron man? What's the point?

"I can afford the money, you just need to help me make it." Wang Tianming said to the blacksmith boss.

"Are you really going to build an iron man?" The blacksmith shop owner looked at Wang Tianming with some doubt.

"Of course." Wang Tianming nodded.

"That won't work either. Iron is scarce and strictly controlled. We can't supply such a large amount of fine iron here." The blacksmith boss waved his hand.

"Then help me build a two-meter-tall stone man, and then pour a thick layer of iron sheet on the stone man."

Seeing that the plan to build an iron man did not work, Wang Tianming could only settle for the next best thing. He prepared to use the stone man as the core and cover the outside with a thick layer of iron, like armor, to create an iron-armored stone man.

In this way, the amount of iron used is undoubtedly much less, and the defensive power is also greatly improved compared to simple boulders.

It is very suitable for Wang Tianming at this stage.

After communicating with the owner of the blacksmith shop, Wang Tianming reached an agreement with the other party.

The stone man is wrapped with an iron layer, which weighs about 100 kilograms and costs about 300 taels of silver.

"The cost of the iron-armored stone man is three hundred taels of silver, and I also need to spend money to hire people to help me find the Bosuqu snake... I must find a way to make some money and hire more people to look for it." Wang Tianming thought to himself.

The question is, how did a martial arts master make quick money in ancient times?

The best way, of course, is to rob the rich and give to the poor.

Plunder the rich and help your poor self.

However, Wang Tianming didn't want to do this method, not because his moral standards were too high and he didn't want to do something like robbery.

But they were afraid of making too much noise.

Since Wang Baobao and his people have set their sights on me, they will definitely come looking for me after they get the news.

Gucheng is not far from Xiangyang City. If something unusual happens in Xiangyang City, the noise will be too loud and it is very likely that Wang Baobao and his people will be lured to investigate.

At that time, if Wang Tianming wanted to search for the Bosuqu snake near Dugu Sword Tomb safely, it would be inconvenient and there would be a risk of being exposed. In addition to robbing the rich to help the poor, if he wanted to make money quickly, he had to gamble.

In Xiangyang City, Wang Tianming found a relatively large gambling house.

When I walked in, I heard a lot of noise.

Wang Tianming took a rough look and found that there were quite a few ways to play in this casino, including Pai Gow, Fan Tan, dice, cockfighting... a wide variety of games.

Wang Tianming looked at them all and finally came to the dice game.

Only the dice were familiar to him, and it was more convenient for him to cheat using the inventory.

That’s right, the reason why Wang Tianming was confident that he could make money through gambling was certainly not because he was confident in his gambling skills, but because he had a cheat…

"Come on, come on, buy it and leave it."

"big big big."

"Small, small. Small."

There are many ways to play dice, the most classic of course is to bet on the size.

The dealer sits in the bank and uses three dice to shake and determine the number.

Then each player places his or her own bet, betting on big, small, or a very special leopard, or even directly betting on the number of points that appear on the dice, with different odds.

This way of playing is very simple, but Wang Tianming did not try it.

Because the dice are shaken by the dealer, the players only need to place their bets. Whether they can win depends entirely on luck or the dealer's ability to shake the dice.

This way it is difficult for Wang Tianming to cheat.

Wang Tianming chose another way of playing.

That is, there is no distinction between banker and player, everyone is a player, and they play together. Each person has three dice, and each person uses the dice to roll the points, and the one with the highest point wins all.

This kind of gameplay will undoubtedly test each player's skills and luck more.

Quickly win, quick to lose.

"Friends, add me in."

Wang Tianming quickly got involved.

This round of gambling soon reached the upper limit of ten players.

"Start rolling the dice."

Following the referee's order, the ten players each picked up their dice cups and shook them.

The crisp sound of dice colliding in the dice cup was heard.

It is said that gambling masters can judge the number of points thrown by the sound of the dice hitting the dice cup. When they shake the dice themselves, they can also use special dice shaking techniques based on the sound to shake out the number they want.

Although Wang Tianming does not have this ability, with the help of the inventory, he can shake out the points he wants at will.

How to do it?
That’s because Wang Tianming had taken out the boulder from his inventory early on, leaving the inventory empty.

At this time, Wang Tianming shook the dice cup a few times and then put it down.

The moment he put it down, the dice in Wang Tianming's inventory had already been placed in the dice cup.

The items put into the inventory must be what Wang Tianming can hold in his hand and move. The dice cup and the dice inside must be shaken by Wang Tianming, so of course it meets the requirements.

Moreover, Wang Tianming can accurately control the dice to be stored in the inventory, but it does not affect the outer dice cup. This is the most critical point.

In order to achieve this effect, Wang Tianming also specially practiced the skills of folding and unfolding the inventory.

For example, take a cup, put stones in the cup, and use the inventory to collect only the stones in the cup without affecting the cup.

Through this kind of training, Wang Tianming became very skilled at it after practicing for a few days.

After the dice are put into the inventory, Wang Tianming will pretend to put down the dice Gu and put the dice just put into the dice cup.

When releasing items from the inventory, Wang Tianming can control the location and direction in which the items appear. In other words, the dice will have whatever points Wang Tianming wants.

This series of meticulous operations on the inventory allows Wang Tianming to achieve any number he wants on the dice, just like a master of gambling.

With such ability, it is of course easy to win.

But Wang Tianming was not stupid enough to shake out the biggest number "six six six" every time. It would be okay once, but if he shook out this number many times in a row, even a fool would know that there was a problem.

Wang Tianming is here to win money, not to mess things up.

Therefore, Wang Tianming deliberately controlled the number of points that came out every time he rolled the dice to be relatively large.

After winning two games, he deliberately made a few games with smaller points and lost a few games so as not to attract other people's attention.

Eventually, through this cautious approach, he was able to turn his capital of a few taels of silver into a profit of several hundred taels.

"That's about it. If I keep winning, even if I control my winning rate, it will still attract the attention of the casino."

When Wang Tianming saw that the people from the casino had begun to stare at him frequently, he knew that he should quit while he was ahead.

So he decisively stopped and left the casino.

"Boss, roughly speaking, that kid has probably won several hundred taels of silver. Do we need to keep an eye on him?"

The casino security guard had indeed set his sights on Wang Tianming.

"It's just a few hundred taels of silver, don't worry about it, but you have to pay attention to this person. If he comes again next time, notify me directly."

The casino boss shook his head and gave the order.

Outside the casino, Wang Tianming was always on guard to see if anyone was following him. He walked around the streets and alleys for a few times, and only after making sure that no one was following him did he feel relieved and return to the restaurant where he lived.

The next day.

Wang Tianming changed to another casino and continued to cheat to win money.

In such a big city like Xiangyang, it is impossible for there to be only one casino.

Anyway, these days, after Wang Tianming visited all the major casinos, he won a lot more or less and accumulated about a thousand taels of silver.

During this process, some stingy casinos even sent people to track Wang Tianming, but after being discovered by Wang Tianming, they were easily shaken off using the Qinggong skill Tiyunzong.
