The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Miss, have you seen enough?" Yu Jin placed the pearl face down on the table, and its faint light dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

"Of course!" The dealer finally snapped out of her daze, her eyes still glancing at the jewel in Yu Jin's hand from time to time.

The reason is simple: the pearl is even more beautiful when its aura is contained. Even from a distance, everyone can feel the abundant water elemental power within it.

"What kind of good stuff is that?"

"How many Mora is this worth?"

"No, I'm too young and impetuous. I'm afraid I'll lose such a wonderful treasure!"

……

After a brief moment of shock, the casino became noisy again, but this time everyone's attention was focused on Ember.

As Yu Jin listened to the praises around him, he looked down at the pearl in his hand. Was Oser really that valuable? He'd have to feed him something good to make him spit out the pearl again sometime.

"Go downstairs, I'll keep this guest company." Mao Cai Gong walked down from the second floor and walked to Yu Jin's side with a smile.

"How about we play a game of 'bigger is bigger'?" Mao Cai Gong looked at Yu Jin with a smile. He was really a big fish; he couldn't let him get away.

"Comparing sizes, huh? Sure." Yu Jin had an idea for something fun. He was here to cause trouble anyway, so playing around wouldn't be bad.

Without further ado, Mao Cai Gong handed a dice cup and two dice to Yu Jin and said kindly, "Since this is your first time here, I'll take the loss. If the dice are even, you win."

Yu Jin glanced at the dice cup, then at Mao Cai Gong. "Heh, looks alright, but I didn't expect it to be so cunning. If he didn't have such sharp eyesight, he probably wouldn't have discovered the mechanism inside the dice cup and the dice."

However, these things were no big deal for Ember. He said impatiently, "Come on!"

"It seems the guest is in high spirits. I will certainly keep him company!" After saying this, Mao Cai Gong took the lead in placing his dice cup face down on the table and began to shake it.

Seeing this, Yu Jin also began to shake the dice cup. Neither Mao Cai Gong nor he cheated.

The previously empty gambling table was now surrounded by people, all eager to see how Yu Jin would lose everything.

Open the dice! The embers are large, the talented scholar is small.

"Haha, the guest is really lucky. Here's 500,000 Mora as a gift." Mao Cai Gong was not angry at all. Instead, he generously handed a brocade box to Yu Jin.

Ember grinned from beneath his helmet. No wonder so many people were hopelessly addicted to gambling dens. In just a few minutes, he'd already made almost as much as an average person's annual income.

The speed at which money is made here is many times faster than in many other industries.

"Again, again! Watch me win it back!" Mao Cai Gong laughed loudly. Yu Jin glanced at him; this old man was quite skilled, rolling a small number without cheating. It seemed he had been quite famous in casinos in his youth.

The second time, Ember wins!

The third time, Ember wins!

……

After a long time, there were always more embers than embers, which made his desk piled with golden Mora, enough to make anyone envious just by looking at it.

Looking at the strange man opposite him, Mao Cai Gong felt a little scared. No matter how big the stakes were or how many Mora he won, the man in front of him seemed completely unmoved.

His hand shaking the dice cup remained haphazard, and his movements in lifting the dice cup were still amateurish, with no variation in his actions from the beginning until now.

But that's enough for now. The sheep is fattened up; it's time to slaughter them. Looking at the pearl beside Yu Jin's hand, Mao Cai Gong's eyes revealed undisguised greed.

Once you enter this treasure trove, there's no way you can leave. If I could offer this pearl to the Executor, my business would definitely grow bigger and stronger!

"Haha, how was the guests' time?"

Yu Jin looked up at him. Was he losing his composure?

"The stakes are low, let's decide the winner in one go!" Ember pushed the gem and Mora forward, bringing the atmosphere in the casino to its peak!

"Great! That's bold!!!"

"He's someone who makes a lot of money!!!"

"Oh wow!!!"

……

The casino erupted in enthusiastic shouts again; since they weren't the ones losing money, they were happy to see an even bigger gamble.

"Great!!!" At this moment, Mao Cai Gong also pushed the mountain of jade and antiques onto the table, and he was also infected by this atmosphere.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!" The crisp sound of dice colliding rang out, but it was quickly drowned out by a cacophony of screams.

"Click!" The barely perceptible sound of the mechanism activating reached Yu Jin's ears. It seemed that even Mao Cai Gong dared not be careless in the face of such a big gamble.

"12 o'clock!!!" Mao Cai Gong's dice cup was unveiled, causing the crowd to shout again.

"Shut up! Let's see if you'll still be arguing later!" Yu Jin muttered under his breath, unveiled his dice cup, and then the whole place fell silent.

"Guest, are you making fun of me?" Mao Cai Gong said in an unfriendly tone, looking at the two dice, each the size of an egg, under the ember dice cup.

However, Ember seemed not to hear him. He picked up the dice and said seriously, "My dice not only have a higher number than yours, but they are also bigger. You lost."

It was only then that Mao Cai Gong noticed that each side of the die in Yu Jin's hand had the number "13" written on it.

"Very well! It seems you've come here on purpose to cause trouble at my Yanshang Tea House!" Mao Cai Gong laughed in anger, already imagining Yu Jin begging for mercy.

"Heh, you guessed it! I'm here to cause trouble!" Yu Jin grabbed the dice and threw them away.

The dice gradually grew to the size of a fist in the air before smashing into Mao Cai Gong on the head, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, Yu Jin, with his feet on the edge of the table, shouted:

"If you don't want to get punched, squat down with your hands behind your head!"

Chapter 73 Hanging in a Row

2023-08-28

"Hiss—, damn it!" Unable to dodge in time, Mao Cai Gong was struck on the forehead by the embers, leaving two bruises. He clutched his head and roared:

"Do you know whose territory this is? You dare to cause trouble? I think you've got a death wish, kid!"

"Whoever in the Adventurers' Guild is incompetent when it comes to doing things!" Ember didn't hesitate to flaunt his authority.

He originally wanted to say that he was acting on behalf of the Knights of Favonius, but considering that it was a bit too far-fetched for the Knights of Favonius to appear in Liyue, he had no choice but to use the Adventurers' Guild's name instead.

"???" The casino staff asked.

"???" Maocai Gong.

"???" Ye Lan

Upon hearing Ember's words, the entire casino fell silent. Even quieter than when Ember had taken out the essence of Oser.

Adventurers' Guild? Isn't that a gathering place for a bunch of odd jobs? Who would dare to come and cause trouble at the Rock Tea House?

"Heh, the Adventurers' Guild? It's nothing but a fart in front of the Fools! Guys, get them!" Mao Cai Gong felt that Yu Jin was definitely crazy, so he stopped talking and directly called for his thugs.

"Boom!" Yu Jin threw a punch! A huge shockwave surged, shattering the massive gambling table in front of him!

In the process, they also tore the clothes of Maocai Gong and his entourage to shreds, leaving them with only their underpants.

Fools? Fools are nothing! If he went and smacked a lady on the head now, she probably wouldn't dare to complain.

Ember briefly praised his control over his power, then walked to Mao Cai Gong's side, raised his iron fist, and said:

"Do you have eyes now?"

"It's grown."

"Not awesome anymore?"

"No, no, no."

Mao Cai Gong, naked, responded to Yu Jin's question with an awkward laugh. Where did this guy come from? How come we didn't know anything about him before?

Meanwhile, Ye Lan, who was crouching in a corner with her hands covering her head, watched Yu Jin surrounding the naked Mao Cai Gong and felt a burning sensation in her eyes.

She had assumed that Yu Jin, who could kill so many demons and cultivate such a secretive intelligence organization, must be a ruthless and ruthless killer.

But I never expected... I never expected him to be so unreliable.

Ember is now making a new move. As mentioned before, he is a rule-abiding person, so it's better to leave these guys to the Thousand Rock Army to deal with.

Yu Jin tied up all the thugs and Mao Cai Gong, and then began to stick papers around them.

Ember walked up to a guy, stretched out his hand, and a piece of white paper appeared in his hand. It was the evidence of his crimes that Black Knife had collected.

"Smack!" Ember stuck the paper on the guy's butt and then ran to the next person, repeating this several times.

"Hang it outside the door, let's get out of here!" Ember said to Black Blade in the shadows, then ran out, taking the scattered Mora with him.

And so, on this night, the people of Liyue who ate Tiger Rock witnessed a sight they had never seen before.

A group of burly, naked men, resembling cured meat, were hung outside the door of the Yanshang Teahouse. In addition, white papers were pasted on their buttocks, fluttering in the wind.

……

"Phew~, the last one!" Looking at the mother and son living in the suburbs, Yu Jin quietly put a bag of Mora into their somewhat dilapidated house.

Gamblers never get a good end, but their wives, children, and elderly parents might fare better. Since the money the Iwagami Tea House took from them, let's return it today.

Yu Jin glanced at the sky; it was already slightly bright. He had been busy spending money like water all night and hadn't paid attention to the time.

"Honestly, I just bought the house and haven't even lived there for an hour. I have to go back and check on it!" Yu Jin felt that he really couldn't stay idle. He went to deal with the criminal gang right after buying the house.

Then Ember left and ran back towards Liyue's city.

Not long after Yu Jin left, Ye Lan arrived late. Her once neat short blue hair was now messy, and there were large dark circles around her emerald eyes, revealing her deep fatigue.

"Seriously, how can you run so fast!" Ye Lan carefully examined the traces around her, and only after confirming that Yu Jin had indeed been here did she say through gritted teeth.

She has certainly stayed up longer nights than this, but staying up all night while running at full speed is another story.

Ye Lan thought of Yu Jin's not-so-tall figure, and felt that he was even more terrifying.

Because she had been chasing Ember all night, and judging from the time and distance he reached each location, Ember's speed remained constant.

"Is it a warning? Or is it simply a matter of overwhelming strength?" Ye Lan fell into deep thought. In any case, she had never seen anyone maintain their speed at a constant value, especially not for an entire night.

[This guy's control over his body is probably unmatched.] Ye Lan thought to herself as she walked to the front of the house.

"The 42nd household, the amount of money they distributed this time..." Ye Lan glanced at the Mora bag hidden in the shadows, and then slightly sensed the catalytic power within it. She had a rough idea of ​​the amount.

"233 million? Heh, you've squandered all the casino's money?" Ye Lan only looked for a while before leaving.

She became increasingly curious about the embers. Moreover, this time, no further warnings came from the female voice.

"Is it okay to be friends?" Ye Lan recalled Qi's words from before and began to ponder.
