Scientific Travel

In the end, Deng Yin stayed, and her reward changed from two gold coins to Wei Wujiang cooking a meal for her.

Deng Yin's face darkened, and after weighing the options for a long time, he finally agreed.

Wei Wujiang wasn't talking about grilled fish, but about cooking. The only difference between his cooking and poison was that poison tasted better.

If all else fails, I'll store the vegetables in my spatial storage while we're eating; going out now would definitely be more dangerous.

Deng Yin only said he would stay for an hour. Wei Wujiang hesitated for a long time before finally choosing his specialty dish—grilled fish.

You have to keep an eye on the grilled fish. Wei Wujiang first made a soup before starting to grill the fish.

The methods for roasting food are basically the same. Wei Wujiang roasts fish with his left hand and roasts chicken with his right.

While he was cooking, he asked Deng Yin to wait in the side room for a while.

There are six rooms in this courtyard, and the side room where Deng Yin stayed is the largest room besides the main room.

The room was furnished in a very ordinary way, nothing special, and looked similar to where Deng Yin was currently staying.

So he really was poor...

Soon, Wei Wujiang's rice was ready. Deng Yin looked at the grilled fish, grilled chicken, and a pot of soup on the table and breathed a sigh of relief.

The soup might be unpalatable, but the rest are all dishes that Wei Wujiang excels at.

Deng Yin first secured her place, picking up a piece of grilled fish with her chopsticks. Wei Wujiang's eyes sparkled as she asked, "How is it?"

It seems that Wei Wujiang has been taking further studies lately. His grilled fish was already quite delicious, but now it's even better.

"good."

Seeing that Deng Yin liked it, Wei Wujiang pushed the plate of fish toward her.

This meal didn't look cheap. Deng Yin wouldn't have known if he didn't, but now that he knows he's not exactly well-off, he's determined not to eat for free.

Afraid he wouldn't accept the money if she offered it to him in person, Deng Yin placed it on a chair so he wouldn't notice.

So much time has passed, the patrolmen outside should have left long ago. Deng Yin walked less than two hundred meters from Wei Wujiang's house before entering the space.

She removed the disguise she had done before and drew a new one on herself.

Before dawn, they could try their luck at the casino again, albeit under different guises.

Previously, I did old-age makeup; this time, I'm doing men's makeup.

To make it more realistic, Deng Yin cut off a hair less than a millimeter long from the end of his head and stuck it on his chin to act as a beard.

His face was slightly stained black with paint. Deng Yin's paint was used to color objects and could be preserved for thousands of years without changing color or fading.

Not to mention water, even a steel wire couldn't remove a single speck of paint.

The color was too dark when applied dry, so Deng added a lot of water. When coloring his face, he also made sure to color his neck and hands.

When the paint was purchased, a cleaning agent was given as a gift. Deng Yin didn't hesitate to use it, since it could be washed off with the cleaning agent anyway.

In order to separate himself from the characters he had created before, Deng Yin still played the guessing game, but the stakes were no longer ten gold coins. Instead, they were very random, with each bet being at least twenty gold coins or more.

Since winning and losing would be discovered, Deng Yin decided not to hide it this time and not lose a single game.

There are police patrols at night, and gamblers gamble all night long. Even if they lose all their money, they will watch others gamble until dawn before leaving.

Two highly skilled gamblers suddenly appeared one night, and many people around them followed their lead and placed bets, with many winning a lot.

Zeng Dong is in charge of security tonight. Having learned from Deng Yin's experience, she is much more cautious about this newcomer.

Those guards were useless; they couldn't even keep up with someone carrying over 90 pounds of gold coins, yet a whole bunch of them managed to let her escape.

Zeng Dong was unsure whether the newcomer or the one who had just left had better gambling skills, but he leaned towards the newcomer.

He won thirty-seven games in a row, and seemed poised to continue winning.

Zeng Dong approached and listened for a while. This person, like the previous one, could change the numbers on dice that had stopped shaking.

As soon as Zeng Dong approached, Deng Yin spotted her.

They've set their sights on her again...

Deng Yin did not hold back because he was being watched; he continued to bet twenty or thirty gold coins at a time, just like before.

To learn how to gamble well and lose, one must not only be quick and efficient, but also have sharp eyesight.

Although Deng Yin had changed her outfit, it was still noticeable that she looked somewhat similar to her previous one.

Zeng Dong didn't doubt whether the current person was the same person as the previous one, but he did wonder if the two were related.

This time, she didn't ask Deng Yin if she wanted to take a gamble, but instead kept a close eye on her hand movements.

Most cheaters rely on their skillful hands. After Deng Yin left, Zeng Dong carefully checked the table and found it to be normal, with no signs of tampering.

The problem must lie with Deng Yin. She couldn't possibly have the ability to control objects remotely; if she did, she wouldn't need to come here.

There are plenty of people willing to recruit her.

Deng Yin's bets kept getting bigger and bigger, eventually reaching hundreds of gold coins in a single bet.

There was nothing Zeng Dong could do; even though he was practically glued to Deng Yin's hand, he couldn't see anything amiss.

Two people with such superb gambling skills showed up at once, which strongly suggests that someone is deliberately causing trouble for the casino.

Zeng Dong was not as skilled as the other, so she had no choice but to pass on the message, and the boss would send someone with stronger abilities.

Zeng Dong was surprised that the boss didn't send anyone, but came in person.

Before he arrived, someone had already told him the whole story. Shi Cejiao sat on the second floor and looked down.

Deng Yin didn't need much; three thousand gold coins would be enough. She couldn't carry too many.

The reason for increasing the stakes later was that it was getting light, and people would be more likely to be targeted after daybreak.

When the clock struck, Deng Yin had already won more than two thousand gold coins. At this rate, winning three thousand would only take one or two rounds.

After a chaotic night, Deng Yin was exhausted; she had bet three hundred gold coins this time.

She'll leave after this bet.

Zeng Dong saw Shi Cejiao arrive, went upstairs, and stood beside him. "Why are you here?"

“If even you can’t see through this, then I naturally have to come and see for myself.” Although Shi Cejiao was speaking to Zeng Dong, his eyes were fixed on Deng Yin.

Although it was still dark outside, the casino was brightly lit, just like daytime. Shi Cejiao rested one hand on the railing, looking quite relaxed.

After a clatter, the dice cup fell back onto the table. Shi Cejiao asked Zeng Dong, "What do you think this hand is?"

"Three three three, leopard."

The dice cup was opened, and it had nothing to do with what Zeng Dong had said; there wasn't a single three inside.

Zeng Dong seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and explained to Shi Cejiao, "I can confirm that I didn't mishear. I've also checked the gambling table, and there's no problem."
