A Born God of Gambling

Cheng Chao looked at them coldly and said, "I only listen to Zhou Wanwan in my life. Miss, here are your silver notes, please keep them safe."

Cheng Chao handed over a stack of silver notes. Cui Hongyuan looked at the notes, swallowed hard, and said:

"So many silver notes, it must be over 100,000 taels!"

If Zhou Wanwan knows what's good for her, she should give me this banknote.

From now on, you will become my concubine, and I will treat you well.

Zhou Wanwan glanced at him and said:

Are you still dreaming? Who do you think you are?

"You've come to the gambling den to gamble, not to rob. Are you going to gamble or not? If not, make room."

Xie Cheng'en looked at her and said:

"You're getting cocky again, aren't you? Do you really think you're some kind of gambling god?"

See these brothers of mine? They're all from the capital, and each one is a master at gambling."

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw that Xie Cheng'en was standing behind more than a dozen people, all of whom were dressed smartly and had an extraordinary demeanor.

Her gaze swept across the crowd, and the fabric of several people's clothes stood out particularly.

Those clothes were clearly top-quality ready-made garments exclusively supplied to Black Wind Stronghold.

Black Wind Stronghold always makes high-end ready-to-wear clothing, a single outfit costing at least several thousand taels of silver, something even ordinary nobles might not be able to afford.

In the crowd, a woman dressed as a man looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Oh my, you've even let women gamble here now? That's really outrageous."

Why are you staring at our clothes? Have you never seen such fine clothes before and are you stunned?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Aren't you a woman?"

Xie Yan looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "How did you know I'm a woman?"

Zhou Wanwan scoffed and said:

Does dressing up as a man make you a man?

You come to the gambling den but don't gamble? You're just here to play? If you're too scared to gamble, then don't come.

Xie Yan sneered:

"It's just gambling, isn't it? Anyone can do it!"

I used to frequent all the major gambling dens in the capital, and I never lost."

The young noblemen nearby nodded and said, "Xie Yan is very capable; she won several thousand taels last time!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it wasn't just several thousand taels; she once won over ten thousand taels! Xie Yan is truly the little gambling god of the capital!"

Xie Yan raised her head and looked at Zhou Wanwan, saying:

You look only five or six years old, probably still drinking milk at home.

I advise you not to gamble. What if you can't pay it back later?

Cheng Chao and Shen Wanjun, who were standing next to Zhou Wanwan, almost burst out laughing.

Shen Wanjun has learned his lesson from Zhou Wanwan Zhou Wanwan; he lost over 100 million taels of silver back then, and now he can only work for her.

If it weren't for Shen Yunshu and Zhou Qingchen's engagement, he probably wouldn't have been able to repay the more than 100 million taels in his lifetime.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Xie Yan and said, "This isn't your concern. You should think about whether you can afford to gamble."

The people around burst into laughter. "This kid from Dongshan Prefecture is really precocious for his age. He's so small, but he has such a big mouth."

"I'd like to see how much money you can come up with. You think you can compete with the people of Beijing?"

"Who among us doesn't carry tens of thousands of taels of silver notes?"

Zhou Wanwan said casually, "Coincidentally, I also like to carry these banknotes in my bag the most."

Xie Yan laughed loudly and asked, "Did you bring ten taels or fifty taels?"

Zhou Wanwan opened her bag and took out a stack of banknotes.

Everyone's breathing became heavier. Zhou Wanwan took out a stack of silver notes, which numbered about 100.

Moreover, each note has a face value of 10,000.

Cui Hongyuan knew Zhou Wanwan was rich, but he didn't expect her to be this rich!

That must be worth over a million taels, right?

Xie Cheng'en smiled faintly and said, "I told you! Zhou Wanwan is very rich. If you take her as a concubine, your family will become wealthy."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Xie Cheng'en and said, "Was it your idea to make me your concubine? That's incredibly underhanded!"

Xie Cheng'en scoffed, "So what if it's me? Making you a concubine, is that beneath you?"

Zhou Wanwan kept staring at him, making Xie Cheng'en feel uneasy. "What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Zhou Wanwan was too lazy to look at him anymore, and turned around to say, "Stop talking nonsense, are you going to bet or not?"

"I bet, this time I'm going to really put your arrogance to rest," Xie Cheng'en said loudly.

Those young men from the capital also sat down, and they seemed to be quite familiar with Xie Cheng'en.

As soon as the dice cup was set, while the others waited according to the rules to call out "high" or "low," Zhou Wanwan merely glanced at it indifferently and softly said, "This round, low."

The young men from the powerful families opposite exchanged a smile, then immediately raised their voices. "We're betting everything on big!"

Zhou Wanwan flicked her finger and pushed over 100,000 chips with a swift and decisive motion. Seeing this, the others followed suit, each placing their own 100,000 chips.

"Open!"

The dice cup was opened, revealing three, four, and five dots, which together made up a big sum.

"Hahaha! We won! A winning start in the first game, this luck is incredible!"

The scions of noble families immediately cheered and jumped for joy, slapping the table and laughing uncontrollably.

But no one expected that this was just the beginning.

In the second round, Zhou Wanwan bet on small, but it came out as big, and she lost.

On the third round, I bet on big, but it came out as small, and I lost again.

In the fourth round, I bet on big again, but it was still small, and I lost again.

One round after another, ten rounds in total, Zhou Wanwan made the wrong bets every time, losing chips like water, and didn't win even once.

The young men from wealthy families standing nearby, initially excited, gradually turned to mockery. "My God, losing all ten rounds! What terrible luck!"

"She's a jinx! Anyone who bets on her wins!"

"He's got some terrible luck! I've never seen anyone so unlucky!"

"Stop gambling immediately! If you keep going, you'll lose everything you have!"

A group of scions of prominent families surrounded Xie Yan, praising her. "Xie Yan is our lucky charm! Following Xie Yan, we're guaranteed to win!"

"Today we really made a killing! Xie Yan is a born gambler!"

"I told you, following her was the right choice!"

Xie Yan said with a smug look on her face:

Zhou Wanwan, are you still playing?

You've lost everything now.

Zhou Wanwan gently curved her lips into a smile and casually instructed, "Xing'an, bring me my other bag."

Zheng Xing'an immediately stepped forward and quickly handed her a plain-colored cloth bag.

Everyone assumed she was just trying to save face and wanted to use some spare change to maintain appearances.

But the next second, Zhou Wanwan casually opened her cloth bag and a stack of silver notes clattered out.

The amount was even larger than the last time; at a rough glance, it amounted to two or three hundred bills.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide and gasping for breath.

Someone couldn't help but whisper in surprise:

"Where did a little girl get so many silver notes?"

Could they have stolen from our house? If they report us to the authorities, we'll be in big trouble!

Xie Cheng'en sneered from the side, his eyes filled with malice:

"You underestimate her. She used to win all her bets, winning a lot of silver and jewels!"

But I'll still fail here.
