Scientific Travel

With Liu Ding's addition, Deng Yin successfully outsourced the work that originally belonged to him.

Now Deng Yin is in charge of making cakes, Gou Dan is in charge of packaging, and Liu Ding is in charge of cashiering and taking orders.

As usual, the shop assistants had to wear masks with orange studs, so Deng Yin made one for her overnight.

It took less than five seconds to make with a model machine.

With the two of them there, Deng Yin didn't need to go to the shop, but she wasn't idle either; she took advantage of this time to make all the cakes for tomorrow.

I have important things to do tonight.

.......

into the night.

As dusk fell, Deng Yin started cooking early today. After dinner, she told Gou Dan, "I'm not coming back tonight."

"understood."

Gou Dan didn't ask any more questions. Since the other party wasn't going to tell him, there must be a reason why.

Besides, she has so many things in her hands, she won't encounter any danger even if she goes out after dark.

Last night's events gave Deng an idea: if we're talking about making money quickly, what could be faster than a casino?

Anyone who can open a casino right under the emperor's nose must have an exceptionally powerful backing.

Without any attempt to conceal it, the casino is located in a bustling downtown area, covering an area of ​​at least 800 square meters.

The casino originally had three floors, one underground and two above ground. But after Cui Wuji suggested building a fourth floor, the casino immediately bought up all the building materials in the city.

In just half a month, the casino was two stories taller.

Human and material resources are indispensable, which shows how powerful the forces behind it are.

Deng Yin was prepared to win big; she even disguised herself before going.

The casino staff might have seen her before. What if she wins and they take revenge on her shop?

You can't wear a mask either. Who would wear a mask to a casino? It would look like they're looking for trouble.

Deng Yin was very satisfied with the disguise this time; even Gao Ruizhe might not be able to recognize her.

The results of an hour are definitely much better than those of a cup of tea.

Entering was like stepping into another world. A huge crowd of people were shouting at the top of their lungs around a table. There were more people here than Deng Yin could see in a whole day.

On the first floor, there were dice, dominoes, and mahjong. Deng Yin didn't know the rules, so he looked at each one for a while.

The dice game was played the same way Deng Yin and Qiu Qingyu played yesterday—it was all about comparing sizes, except that the casino staff rolled the dice while the others bet on the numbers.

In Pai Gow, each player receives two tiles, and the winner is determined by the combination and points of the tiles. The points are calculated as the total points of the two tiles; any value exceeding 10 is rounded down to the nearest whole number.

From largest to smallest: Supreme Treasure (Monkey King Pair) is the largest, followed by Double Heaven, Double Earth, Double Human, Double Pepper, Double Goose, Miscellaneous Nine, Miscellaneous Eight, Miscellaneous Seven, Miscellaneous Six, and the smallest is Miscellaneous Five?

Mahjong typically requires four players and uses a deck of forty cards. The cards are divided into four suits: Cross, Characters, Chains, and Coins, each with different card designs and values. Each player initially receives eight cards, with the remaining eight placed in the center. The dealer is determined by dice rolls, and players take turns playing cards, with higher-ranking cards beating lower-ranking ones.

One person's skill in Mahjong isn't enough; teamwork is essential. The three players need to coordinate their attacks on the banker because the banker has the privilege of winning bonuses from five tables, while each player only has one table as their base.

She can cheat with any of these three methods, because she can cheat no matter which one she chooses.

In the end, Deng Yin chose to guess big or small. Since it didn't go through her hands, even if the other party suspected her of cheating, they wouldn't be able to find any evidence.

The cheating method was the same as before: after the other party finished rolling the dice, Deng Yin took the dice cup in her hand into the space, and then put it back into the other party's hand when they came out.

This is the best use of the function of space having different flow rates of time!

You get paid if you bet on Big or Small, and even more if you bet on Leopard.

Deng Yin toned it down considerably, only winning one big hand after winning two or three small ones. In twenty-nine consecutive hands, Deng Yin only lost one.

The loss was clearly intentional; Deng Yin always bet ten gold coins, but that time he only bet one copper coin.

She's already been so restrained, she can't still be suspected, can she?

She had already been targeted by the casino when she won her 23rd hand.

Zeng Dong had just arrived after receiving a report from his subordinates when he encountered the same hand that Deng Yin lost.

"?????"

The guard quickly explained, "She had just won twenty-three games in a row before calling you here, but she lost as soon as you arrived."

Zeng Dong waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

Regardless of the circumstances, if winning thirteen games in a row were solely due to luck, then the entire city's fortune would have rested on her shoulders.

Zeng Dong walked over to Deng Yin's side, where the closer proximity made it easier to spot what the other party was up to.

Zeng Dong could tell what was being rolled just by the sound, and even in noisy surroundings, she could easily recognize the sound of the dice.

As soon as the dice and dice cup clashed, Deng Yin placed ten gold coins on the leopard.

Zeng Dong knew the result: 331. She had made the wrong bet.

It seemed she wasn't very capable. Just as Zeng Dong was about to leave, he heard exclamations from those around him: "It's Leopard! She's won again!"

Zeng Dong stared in disbelief at the dice in the dice cup; they really were one by one.

How can it be!

She has honed her skill of identifying numbers by sound to perfection; there's no way she could be wrong!

That means there's only one possibility: this woman is cheating!

Knowing is useless; you have to catch a thief red-handed. If Deng Yin is not caught in the act, she can easily make excuses.

Cheating relies on a pair of hands; if you're quick enough, you can fool everyone around you.

Zeng Dong stared intently at Deng Yin's hands and noticed that, except when she was betting on big or small, her hands remained on the gambling table without moving at all.

The same thing happened again this time. Zeng Dong clearly bet on the small, but Deng Yin bet on the big, yet they still won.

Five rounds in a row, only two of them were the same as Deng Yin's guesses.

Zeng Dong was certain that the other party was cheating, but he couldn't see any clues.

Then it must be the person who rolled the dice...

Zeng Dong stopped the dice-rolling action and said to Deng Yin with a smile, "Playing for such a small amount isn't very interesting. Why don't you play a couple of rounds with me?"

Deng Yin knew she was being watched; she had noticed it as soon as the person arrived.

Some people may not gamble but just watch from the sidelines, but it's impossible for someone to not be watching the gambling table but to be watching the people.

"Okay."

Zeng Dong took over the dice-shaking position, supporting himself on the gambling table with both hands: "Next, the odds will be changed to one to ten. However, with the increased odds, the gameplay will naturally change as well. It will no longer be about comparing sizes, but about you guessing what I roll."

Deng Yin nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

This time, Deng Yin increased his bet, no longer to ten gold coins, but to two hundred and eighty gold coins.

Everything in whole and odd amounts, minus the initial ten gold coins, is what we won today.

Indeed, casinos are the most profitable places!

Two thousand eight hundred gold coins is no small sum, but Zeng Dong was confident that Deng Yin would be the one to lose.

Deng Yin couldn't determine the number just by listening to the sound, but she could change the number. Zeng Dong thought for a while before starting to shake the dice.

Since she can change the points, then let's prevent her from having the chance to change them!

Zeng Dong tightened his grip, and the clanging sounds gradually subsided. Finally, Zeng Dong put down the dice cup. "Guess."

"Three, four, five." Deng Yin remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

Zeng Dong's lips curled slightly; she naturally knew what the dice she had rolled.

Zeng Dong opened the dice cup, and the corners of his mouth that were turned up instantly froze.

How can it be!

She clearly shattered all the dice, so how come they're all intact now!

"You cheated!" Zeng Dong said, pointing at Deng Yin, his words faster than his thoughts.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of guards surrounded Deng Yin, looking ready to attack immediately.

Deng Yin calmly replied, "You accuse me of cheating just because I won? Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, then you're just a sore loser! Do you not want to pay up?"

"Stop with the empty talk." Zeng Dong wasn't worried at all that her words would affect the other gamblers. "Our casino has been open for so many years, and we've never wronged an innocent person. Don't even mention two thousand gold coins; if you win, you can take twenty thousand gold coins."

"Anyone can talk the talk," Deng Yin said, unable to reveal his identity, but without a stun gun, he couldn't fight off so many people. "You have no evidence, so why are you accusing me of cheating? You rolled the dice, I didn't touch them once, and you accuse me of cheating just because I guessed correctly? Is this how your casino does business?"

This was also what puzzled Zeng Dong. She couldn't figure out how Deng Yin cheated, but the feeling in her hands couldn't be faked; the dice had definitely been shattered by her.

"I don't have any evidence, but you know perfectly well whether you cheated or not." Since there's no evidence, let's try a different game. She only plays dice, so she probably only knows how to cheat with dice.

“Let’s play Pai Gow. If you win again this time, I won’t say anything. Not only will you get those 2,800 gold coins, but the odds are 1 to 2 this time, so you can take the winnings with you.”

"can."

Despite the variations, the principle remains the same: Deng Yin only needs to master one method of cheating to win every betting game.

The winning method for Pai Gow is very similar to the winning method for dice that Deng Yin and Qiu Qingyu played yesterday. In dice, six six six is ​​the highest, and in Pai Gow, the Monkey King pair is the highest.
