Yang Sanhai was a squad member on Wang Tudou's team, filling the role of "general," with clearly defined, independent responsibilities. He had known Wang Tudou for over a decade and was the team's longest-serving member.
Yang Sanhai was also from Blue Star. His actual age was sixty-three, and he was currently in the fourth grade realm. He was outgoing and easygoing, steady in a crisis, and sufficiently resolute. His only flaw was his love of gambling; he could certainly be called a veteran gambler.
During his few days in North Wind Town, whenever he had no team duties, Yang Sanhai often hung around with a group of civil officials from the Inner Manor, devoting himself to gambling. Since Mora currently controlled the Inner Manor, and Wang Tudou's party had entered town with Mora, these officials considered Yang Sanhai an acquaintance of their immediate superior. When they first started gambling, everyone deliberately went easy on him, letting him win a little wherever they could.
What these officials had not expected, however, was just how much Yang Sanhai loved to play. Almost whenever he had spare time, he took the initiative to organize a game. The local officials were also deeply fond of gambling, and once they began playing together regularly, no one went easy on anyone anymore. After all, who the fuck could afford to lose every single day?

This was a communication signal agreed upon within the team. It meant he had to drop everything
