Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Gail Russell didn't hesitate for a second: "I'll go with you."

Zhao Chuanxin hesitated when he came.

He wanted to leave alone, but he couldn't bear to do it.

After all, I am old and can’t be ruthless.

When Zhao Chuanxin took her back to get her luggage, Jinhua Shu detected two Buddhist monks rummaging through her apartment room.

"Do you have anything important at home?"

"Only the driver's license counts, but in the car."

Zhao Chuanxin got out of the car and walked towards the Jaguar XK140 on the side of the road. Without even using a key, he just touched the door with his hand and it opened.

He took out his driver's license and went back to the car: "Don't take the rest. I'll buy you what I can buy and make you what I can't buy."

Gail Russell, on the other hand, was grinning, very happily.

Only then did she ask, "Why did Fobole look for you?"

Zhao Chuanxin captured the thief twice, each time more dangerous than the last.

Of course, it is dangerous in the eyes of others.

This caught the attention of Foblet.

How does a knife maker do it?

Foble probably has a lot of question marks in his head.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't intend to tell her this.

As he spoke, the car's four wheels left the ground as it backed up, drifting and turning.

"Where are we going?" Gail Russell asked expectantly again.

In the winter in Los Angeles, strong winds of level 6 or 7 will blow from inland, and can reach level 10 at its highest.

But in summer, there is not a breath of wind here, and it is so hot that you can’t stand the heat: “Woof woof woof…”

"What did Ganfan say?"

"The scolding is very unpleasant."

"..."

Driving east from Hollywood, Zhao Chuanxin closed the car windows to prevent the heat from coming in and turned on the air conditioner.

The air on the road ahead was distorted.

The sun is shining and the fields are golden and boundless.

Gail Russell sometimes stared at Zhao Chuanxin's profile with a smile, and sometimes paid attention to the scenery.

Life is about to turn over a new leaf.

Zhao Chuanxin told her: "Call me Xin John from now on."

"What about me? What stage name should I choose?"

"Let's see, we'll talk about it then."

Zhao Chuanxin popped up the central control screen and said to Xin Xingyue: "Give me the map."

It was the first time Gail Russell knew that the car had a screen similar to a TV.

Higher definition than TV.

Xinxingyue called up the navigation, and the speed of the pickup truck increased sharply, from 70 mph to 150 mph, and then to 300 mph, and it was still increasing until it gradually stabilized at 400 mph.

This speed is lightning fast.

Thanks to Zhao Chuanxin for reinforcing the carriage and adding several layers of sound insulation, otherwise the noise would have been terrifyingly loud.

Gail Russell marveled, “You can talk to cars?”

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "What's the big deal? In the future, there will be refrigerators, TV sets, and sofas in cars!"

The car's four wheels are flying off the ground. When it encounters a rough road, the pickup truck takes off on the spot and then slowly lands when the road becomes flat.

At some turns, you can go straight through the wasteland.

If there are cars on the road, the other party can only see dust flying.

Gail Russell is not afraid of working hard and has unconditional trust in Zhao Chuanxin.

They stopped twice, once to eat and rest, and once to stay overnight.

We arrived in Phoenix the next day.

As soon as they arrived in Phoenix, the two witnessed a brutality.

Several men with their faces covered were throwing Molotov cocktails into a store.

As soon as they threw the Molotov cocktails, a few strong men came out with guns and shot at them.

Both sides fired machine guns at each other, and the person who threw the Molotov cocktail drove away.

Gail Russell was shocked and said, "So the Southeast is so chaotic?"

She thought the chaos was only in the west.

Zhao Chuanxin turned over the central control screen: "We need to find a place to stay and see where to buy a property."

The two found a fast food restaurant, Gail Russell had a cheeseburger, Zhao Chuanxin had five, and had two pizzas for dinner.

Gail Russell kept looking at the cheesecake.

Ganfan warned: "Woof woof woof..."

Gail Russell smiled and gave up the idea.

Zhao Chuanxin walked around and saw quite a few house sale advertisements, some with prices posted and some without.

“The housing prices here are quite high.”

This is the border between Alabama and Georgia, and the Chattahoochee River separates Phoenix from Columbus on the opposite side.

The service industry here is extremely developed.

Casinos, bars and brothels can be found everywhere.

The most ordinary house costs more than 3 yuan.

The one that is pleasing to the eye costs at least 4.

The highest price that Zhao Chuanxin could choose could reach more than 7.

Zhao Chuanxin looked around and found that the housing prices were shocking, and his own savings were even more shocking, with only about 34000 yuan left in his pocket.

"I have money," Gail Russell said hastily, "I can go to the bank to get it."

"That won't work."

No records can be kept.

He started the Jinhua technique scan.

Gambling is actually illegal in Phoenix.

Some of these casinos are hidden behind shops, some are semi-public, and some operate openly.

If they dare to do this, there must be something fishy going on.

Under Zhao Chuanxin's Jinhua technique, nothing can escape detection within 2 kilometers.

The house and land were not sold, and although Lao Zhao was short of money, he was not worried.

He parked outside a semi-public casino and put sunglasses on Gail Russell: "Let's go in and try to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."

………………

The so-called semi-public means placing a slot machine in front of a legitimate store.

Then let a little kid play the slot machine to attract people.

The casino is behind the store.

Public means that apart from not having a sign, the door is simply wide open and you can clearly see all kinds of gambling inside.

Zhao Chuanxin is here in a semi-public manner.

Gail didn't understand Zhao Chuanxin's intention, and said, "These are all scams and deceptions."

The child looked up and said, "I'm not kidding. Today someone won hundreds of dollars with a coin."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly, reached into his pocket and took out a coin: "Boy, get out of the way, let me show you a show."

At this time, slot machines are purely mechanical.

Zhao Chuanxin activated the Jinhua technique, threw a coin in, pulled the joystick, and when the roller inside started to turn, he pulled the joystick. Even though he reacted super quickly, he couldn't pull out two identical patterns.

He understood.

Another coin was thrown in.

The little kid was cheering him on: "Sir, it's almost there, you're almost going to win."

Zhao Chuanxin patted his head and said, "What a good trust. Okay, I'll borrow your good words."

He pulled the joystick with a snap.

The wheel was forcibly turned into three 7s by telekinetic control.

Blah blah blah...

The child was stunned.

Gail Russell was also stunned.

Even though Zhao Chuanxin was capable of doing what others could not, she still couldn't figure out how to do it.

Zhao Chuanxin said to the child, "Put the coins in the box for me, and I will give you two coins."

A total of 30 coins were paid out this time.

The child hurried to pick up the coin.

After he picked up all the coins, Zhao Chuanxin threw another coin in.

Snapped!

Three "bars".

Blah blah blah...

The child tilted his head back and sniffed his nose.

Senseless.

"Pick it up, and I'll give you three coins this time."

The child sticks out his butt to pick them up.

After picking up the coins, Zhao Chuanxin fulfilled his promise and gave him a total of five coins.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin didn't seem to want to play anymore, the child blinked and suggested, "Sir, do you want to play something big? There are a lot of fun things in the back of the store."

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin was waiting for him to say this: "Yes, I miss you so much."

"Sir, I'll take you there."

"Walk."

The store clerk glanced at it and continued reading his newspaper, looking as if he was used to it.

There was a burly man with a ponytail guarding the back door. When he saw the pile of coins in the small basket in Zhao Chuanxin's hand and the child leading the way, he curled his lips and smiled with understanding.

He took another look at Gail Russell; this woman looked familiar to him.

Gail Russell hugged Zhao Chuanxin's arm, feeling somewhat worried.

The door was opened, and the noise and smoke filled the room.

The air was filled with the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and perfume.

There is a row of slot machines against the wall.

The kid said, "Sir, the slot machines here have good odds."

Zhao Chuanxin took a look and found that in addition to slot machines, the casino had blackjack, roulette, craps games, etc.

He said, "Let's not play this anymore, let's play something else."

The child nodded: "Have a nice afternoon, sir."

After saying that, he turned and left, his mission accomplished.

"Haha, of course." Zhao Chuanxin gave a gambler's smile.

Gail Russell whispered, "How did you do that?"

“Just be careful.”

Ganfan: "Woof woof woof..."

A dog came into the casino and no one was surprised.

Everyone was immersed in their own games.

Some were beaming with joy, some were dejected, some were pale, some were flushed, and some had their hands wandering dishonestly on the women around them.

Zhao Chuanxin took Gail Russell with a basket of coins to exchange for chips.

The person who was exchanging the chips curled his lips in disdain: It's too little.

Zhao Chuanxin lit up a cigar and tapped his fingers on the front desk: "Don't think it's a small amount now, I'll come back and exchange it later and there will be more."

The receptionist said disdainfully: "Everyone says so, good luck to you."

Zhao Chuanxin took the chips and came to the roulette table.

He waited until he finished a lap, listened to the shouting around him, and before the next round began, he put his chips on 00.

This is an American roulette wheel with 00 numbers from 36-37.

The odds for the single bet were 1:35.

The wheel starts spinning and the ball starts rolling around the edge.

Everyone started shouting again, and Zhao Chuanxin felt Gail Russell's grip on his arm gradually increasing in strength.

She was also nervous.

Because Zhao Chuanxin put all his 70-yuan chips at stake.

The ball spun and spun.

People around were shouting.

In the end, the ball landed on 00 without any surprise.

The banker looked at Zhao Chuanxin in surprise, and the people around him exclaimed.

Only then did they realize that Zhao Chuanxin had actually bet all in on a single number.

There are many ways to play this game. Betting on a single number has a payout of 1:36, betting on color has a payout of 1:1, betting on odd or even has a payout of 1:1, and betting on number range has a payout of 2:1.

Zhao Chuanxin got back 2520 chips in one go.

Gail Russell watched with horror.

This... is so exciting.

Zhao Chuanxin turned to her and said, "Don't ever touch this, do you hear me?"

"Yeah. I'm just nervous." Then she put her lips to Zhao Chuanxin's ear and whispered, "How on earth did you do it?"

She didn't believe it was luck.

"My guess."
