New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 165 Betting on Dogs
Lei Ye spent two days sorting out the business of the big casino.

The first is the big casino itself. Anyone who enters the big casino out of curiosity or because they are desperate will be specially monitored the moment they enter. There is a set of procedures to deal with them, with small losses and small wins, gradually accumulating their desire for the increasingly flowing larger amounts of gold coins, and finally clearing them out.

If the customer is penniless, the big casinos usually don't bother to pay attention to him, unless he has good financial strength or good looks, then the big casinos will lure him to borrow money from the big casinos and finally lose him to the big casinos.

The other is for people outside the big casino. If there is someone the big casino particularly wants, usually a beautiful enough girl, then the big casino will arrange for an assassin to drug her. This kind of drug can only be antidote by the pharmacist of the big casino.

This is how the little girl who was let go by Lei Ye two days ago came about. Almost all the white gloves and bunny girls in the big casino joined the big casino through the above two methods.

Lei Ye asked if this was an old tradition of the big casino, and Cai replied that it was not. This made Lei Ye feel a little better. At least it showed that when Grady had complete control of this big casino, there were not so many dirty things going on.

Lei Ye agreed to the trio's request. The first thing they did was to change their names to Acai, Aguang, and Ajin, each of which became a single word.

Wealth, breadth, progress.

This gives a more Gan, Wen, and Cui feel.

Cai didn't seem very satisfied, but at least the new name didn't sound like a dog anymore. After a compromise, he chose to accept it.

Guang got fifty servings of Lei Ye's secret grilled oysters, and his height increased by fifty percent.

Lei Ye did not ask how the other party knew that he was a big chick, because he knew in his heart that letting the bunny girl go would make him happy, but that was the bunny girl.

Guang was also captured.

Finally, it was Jin's turn. The 26-year-old Ms. Jin said hesitantly that she was no longer young and that she couldn't meet any good men in this line of work. She wondered if Lei Ye could help her find a boyfriend.
No problem, my boyfriend is on the way. Lei Ye has called someone from Jiaotu and he will probably arrive today.

Miss Jin was beaming with joy.

After being paid, these three people are equivalent to Lei Ye’s special employees in the local area, a pure employment relationship.

The job they were originally responsible for was the debt collection business of the big casinos.

In addition, the big casinos have various side businesses, such as illegal brothels, banned drugs and even assassination commissions, but the side businesses are not active because the rich people who come here will be stripped naked, and gambling is the fastest and most decisive way.

However, Lei Ye has been observing the gamblers coming and going in the reopened big casinos these two days. These people don't all look wealthy, but they all have sad faces.

His office was at the very edge of the second floor. He could watch people coming and going downstairs through a one-way mirror by turning his head. This was really how Grady arranged his job. He could get paid just by sitting here.

Lei Ye's sight was fixed on someone, a young man. Lei Ye ignored other features on him and only noticed the desperate look in his eyes.

After thinking about it, he stood up and walked down from the second floor, all the way to behind the man.

The roulette wheel was being played at this time. The small metal ball was rolling on the numbers and landed on the black 8. The man bet on black and made a small profit. A few chips were pushed over by the smiling bunny girl.

Lei Ye leaned lightly on the table and casually placed a small round plate on the edge of the table.

"Have you heard, brother? The big casino has a new owner recently and the back is being renovated. I don't know what this place will become?"

He greeted her in a familiar manner, but the other party just responded with an indifferent “hmm”.

He was staring at the roulette wheel. This time he bet on the size and it was another small win. Two consecutive wins made him breathe heavily as he looked at the more chips in his hand.

However, whether it was red or black or big or small, the odds were too low. He suddenly clenched his fist tightly and pushed half of the chips in his hand towards the black number eight.

"Oh, you're very bold. Do you think you're lucky enough to take a gamble? But from the perspective of probability, betting on numbers has nothing to do with big or small, red or black, etc. Brother, be rational! You have to be rational!" Lei Ye frowned and persuaded.

Unfortunately, it was too late to buy and let go of the ball. The ball rolled to the other side of the number eight and landed in a place that was completely out of reach.

The man, whose body was tense, suddenly collapsed, like a dog whose spine had been removed.

Ugh.
The half of the chips he lost was actually only equivalent to 5,000 yuan, which was not even a lot of money in this big casino.

But judging by the man’s expression, maybe it’s half his wealth?

Suddenly the man turned his head and glared at Lei Ye, as if asking, "What did you say just now?"

This made Lei Ye feel a little unhappy, but he suppressed his unhappiness and pretended that it didn't matter.

"Calm down, brother. The more anxious you are, the less money you will make. So, I'll make it up to you."

Lei Ye flicked up a coin, pressed it on the back of his hand, and showed it, "Heads up, so let's bet big this time. Here, take it, I guarantee you'll win!"

He gently pushed the small gold coin towards the man, while pressing down the disc that had just been attached to the table.

Start! A slight vibration spread from the disc to the entire tabletop, which was barely noticeable even if one placed one's hand on the tabletop, but the metal ball in the roulette wheel trembled and jumped slightly.

A few days ago in Scorched Earth, Lei Ye made a large number of vibrators, and after a little modification, turned them into cheating props like this.

The bright gold color made the man lose his momentum all of a sudden. He shrank his neck, pushed the small gold coin towards the bunny girl, and then pushed the chips he got in exchange towards "Big".

The ball rolled, deviating by an imperceptible amount past where it was supposed to land.

win!
The man's pupils dilated instantly, and he turned his head to look at Lei Ye in surprise. Lei Ye tilted his head slightly, indicating that now all the chips were his.

"I've made some money with you, now we can chat, what's your job?"

"A waiter from the Explorers Guild." The man counted the chips with some joy.

"Wow, this job is actually not bad. I can meet a lot of interesting people every day, and I have the opportunity to have sex with female explorers with great bodies. The key is that I heard the salary is not bad. Why did I think of coming here to make money?"

Lei Ye was thinking of the waiters in Hillius, who indeed lived a very comfortable life.

"My mother is sick and I need money."

That's okay. The man's words stopped Lei Ye from asking any subsequent questions.

Lei Ye quickly recalled the names on a list he had received not long ago. This waiter was not someone who was "named" by the big casino, which meant that his mother's illness had nothing to do with the big casino. He came here purely because he was desperate, so he had such a desperate look.

"How much do you need?" Lei Ye asked.

"About three large gold coins."

"so good."

Lei Ye quietly came behind him and put his hands on his shoulders, as if to pass on strength to him.

"Next, let's bet on a number, let's say .18. Don't ask why 18. It's a one in thirty probability, and a thirty times return. Show hand, let's go all in!" He said the word "all in" in an arrogant tone, but his voice was so soft, like the whisper of a devil.

Should I believe him?

All-in is a kind of wisdom, but the man was careful and left his own capital. He gritted his teeth and pushed all the chips earned with Lei Ye's small gold coin to the number eighteen.

The ball bounced and the vibration plate operated silently and powerfully. The ball had lost its strength, but suddenly it seemed to be held by an invisible hand! It was "pushed" into the number 18!

A great victory, a thirty-fold profit! The chips in front of the man instantly piled up into a small mountain.

"Congratulations," Lei Ye's hand left his shoulder, which was instantly covered with sweat from excitement, and he said quickly and quietly, "Take these chips and exchange them for money. You should go back. Someone is waiting for you to go home. Don't come here again after you go back."

He lowered his head and removed the vibration plate. When he stood up again, he saw that the man had not left his seat. He slapped himself hard while breaking up the mountain of chips and pushing small portions onto 'big', 'red' and 'numbers'.

"What are you doing?!" Lei Ye was stunned.

"You fucking idiot, I actually left a guarantee. What's the point of leaving a guarantee!" Another slap.

"No. The money for medical treatment is enough. Why don't you leave?"

The man slowly raised his head, his eyes, which had been depressed just now, now showed bloodshot due to excitement.

"What about my empty savings and lost job? Now I'm so lucky. Thank you, you're my benefactor. I finally don't have to sell my house."

"Fuck you, how can I fuck you like you?"

Lei Ye was so angry that he was at a loss, and he was still holding the vibrating disc in his hand.

The man remained indifferent to the curse. He turned his head, breathing heavily like a cow, and stared at the roulette wheel in front of him.

After anger came fear, which almost made Lei Ye take a few steps back subconsciously. He was not afraid of the "man", but of "men".

He looked around, and finally his gaze returned to the mountain of chips in front of the man that was being broken up bit by bit.

Lei Ye seemed to see a phantom behind the man.

His mother was getting weaker and weaker, and the god of death was approaching earlier every day with his scythe.

The ceiling of his house was removed, the four walls were dismantled and taken away, and the things inside were broken into pieces.

The friends who occasionally appeared in the phantom disappeared one by one.

However, the man could not see the phantom behind him because he did not look back.

Lei Ye slowly moved to the center of the hall, raised his head, and saw Grady looking at this side with interest on the edge of the handrail on the second floor.

There was an inexplicable sense of amusement in that condescending gaze, as if to say 'Look, I won'. Lei Ye was unwilling to accept this, so he turned to talk about Grady's gambling table.

"What upgrades have you made to the gambling table? Even I can't tell. Stop it. Stop playing so dirty, okay?"

"It's not an upgrade, it's a downgrade. You can't tell because I dismantled all the magic item modifications on the gambling table."

"What do you mean?" Lei Ye was stunned.

"Literally. As I told you before, I will prove to you that it was never me who lured them into the abyss, but the greed in their hearts."

Lei Ye felt an indescribable nausea in his heart.

It was not directed at Grady, but at the gambler he had just tried to help. The indescribable feeling of disappointment, the anger at him for not living up to his expectations, and the confusion as to why he was unwilling to stop, all came together to make it disgusting.

He turned around and looked.

The hill has collapsed, and the man only has a few chips left in his hand. Although not many, it is actually a little more than what the man brought into the big casino, so he didn't actually lose anything, but his expression was so ferocious as if he had just lost the world.

Grady suddenly jumped down from the second floor.

She actually floated down gently by holding onto the hem of her skirt. Lei Ye changed the angle and saw that there were several human-faced demon spiders lying behind her, pulling her down gently.

"I can still afford to hire a bodyguard. When doing this kind of business, you have to pay attention to your personal safety," Grady smiled and landed gracefully. She slowly paced a few steps in the hall, took a deep breath, and then gently turned her body to face Lei Ye. "It's great. It feels like a life of luxury. Look at those people. They seem to really enjoy this gorgeous space and what they do here."

"I guess you know what kind of business the big casino was doing before. I have been waiting for you to come and talk to me these past two days, but you didn't come, which means you know in your heart that this has nothing to do with me. I am very happy that you are dissatisfied with my decision, but you will not impose the fault that does not belong to me on me. So those who owe debts to the big casino now belong to you. You can collect them if you want, and release them if you want."

"Ah, that man is gone. I guess he was just unlucky. But that's how gambling is. There are winners and losers. You see, I didn't do anything, and I didn't force anyone to come here and gamble their fortunes. They came here on their own accord."

"You must not have seen the decoration I made in the back. You don't want to see it, but it's actually for you. I thought about it for a long time and decided to demolish half of the casino and transform it into a restaurant and store. You can sell your fried rice, and we can continue to make magic props to sell together. Then you can take a few years to take a good look at the people coming and going here, and feel their stupidity and ignorance. You will laugh at them and think they deserve to have money sent to them. You will think that their death is a good thing and that their death is justified. Then we will expand the casino together."

"but"

"But their families are innocent, right? Don't worry. I am a businessman by profession. I will do any business that can make money. There are many pharmacists in the big casinos. In the future, they will not make that kind of slow-acting poison. I will use them to open a pharmacy. My old home will also be rebuilt into an orphanage in a few days to accommodate homeless children. They can come to work here when they grow up."

"Open an orphanage to house children, but don't ask why there are orphans, right?" Lei Ye snorted and laughed.

"For me, I think some parents are not worthy of being parents. It's better for me to raise them. As for you, it's up to you to think about it. This is my concession. I didn't intend to do this. I just did this because I thought you would be happy."

"And this." Grady took the vibration disk from Lei Ye's hand and said, "I know your ability. You can win the whole game at any time, so I have been watching it these two days. Promise me, use it to win some pocket money here to go out and play, whatever you want, but don't make it too embarrassing for us, okay? I treat you as a good friend."

Complex inside.

Even slightly shaken.

That Grady, obviously has a good heart, but in her perception.
Or... Lei Ye turned his head and looked at the gambling table where the man had just sat. He shook his head and repeatedly told himself in his heart that there was no room for compromise.

What has been done must be done again, and a solution must be thought of here, otherwise dragging things out to the real timeline will only make it more difficult to correct.

He walked out the door in silence and waved to Cai Guangjin, indicating that he should follow him.

Since Grady handed over all the debtors to him, he should collect the debts from her.

He heard Grady's soft sigh and a little applause from behind.

"What a tenacious personality! That's great. I really like people who are unshakable. But I'm a little curious. You really have no interest in gambling. What makes you hate gambling so much? Dear Mr. Lei Ye?"

"It's a Tencent lottery." Lei Ye said without even turning his head.
