Chapter 15: Gambling
Chapter 15: Gambling
After leaving Xi Ping’s shop, Chen Li decided to buy a new smartphone since those four people had broken his old one. Even though his body was fragile in the past, he has extraordinary memory and comprehension. He then saves the phone numbers of everyone closest to him. Apart from that, he also bought a few other items that he needed for daily use. π«πΉβ΄πΏπ΅.π¬β΄πΆ
After that, Chen Li went to the animal market. He bought several types of fish seeds, chicks, ducklings, geese, goats, lambs, calves, and piglets. Afterward, he brought them to the farm in the Tianyi Realm. “At this rate, they will grow up quickly, and I can sell them later.”
“What are your plans with all these animals?”
Chen Li turned to Xiao Huoli with a chuckle. “Since you told me that these animals will absorb Qi later, I’m considering opening a restaurant later. After all, meat containing Qi benefits normal people’s bodies, right?”
“I see.” Xiao Huoli nodded with a smile, although she didn’t tell him about it; Chen Li could think that far. “Well, that’s true. If you sell dishes using the meat of these animals, then your restaurant will become very famous in your world, and you can also sell them for a high price. But before that, you should also find someone to help you care for these animals.”
“You don’t need to think about them, Sister Huoli. After I return home, I plan to bring my mother and big sister here, and they will take care of these animals later.” Chen Li had thought things through carefully. In the past, his Chen family had quite a large animal farm; his mother and big sister were always active on the farm, so it wouldn’t be a problem if they took care of the animals later.
After that, Chen Li went elsewhere to buy various kinds of vegetable and fruit tree seeds. After he bought them, he immediately planted them in the Tianyi Realm.

Chen House
A woman in her late thirties walked gracefully into the Chen house and looked elegant in a purple one-step dress. Her body is quite tall and slender; her hourglass curve looks sexy, paired with her big, plump breasts of about D-Cup.
Her face looks mature and alluring. She has clear brown eyes with two thin eyebrows that are perfectly painted and a sharp nose like a Westerner. But the most interesting thing about her face is her small lips covered in pink lipstick; even though her lips are small, but sexy and sensual, especially her slightly thick lower lip.
She then sat on the sofa and asked the woman who was relaxing before her. “Is it true that you have received news from Li’er, Sister Qingzhu?”
“That’s true, Wei’er.” Lin Qingzhu replied with a nod, and she then passed Chen Li’s letter she received this morning to her. “Although I still don’t know where Li’er is now, I believe it was written by him, and he will probably come back soon.”
Chen Wei’er received the letter, and she read it seriously while nodding repeatedly. She could also recognize that the letter was indeed written by her nephew. Before long, she heaved a sigh of relief, and a blissful smile bloomed on her pretty face. “I hope Li’er returns to our side soon, Sister Qingzhu.”
However, Lin Qingzhu looked at her sister-in-law strangely. Before long, she shook her head and muttered inwardly. ‘I hope my guess is wrong; I’m afraid Wei’er is in love with Li’er.’

Casino
When it was night outside, Chen Li immediately transformed into an older man and walked out of the Tianyi Realm. Soon, he arrived in front of a casino. “Hmm? Nan Casino? Doesn’t this casino belong to the Nan family?”
After that, he immediately entered the casino, exchanging a hundred thousand yuan worth of chips. ‘Sigh, it’s my first time going to a casino, and I only know about gambling games from tv and books.’
“Hey, Chen Li! You can play with that thing, and I can help you win it easily.” Xiao Huoli said as she pointed at the row of slot machines. “Anyway, you have to be careful; there is someone who has the strength equivalent to the Peak Stage Foundation Realm in the back room.”
Chen Li nodded in understanding; he then curiously asked as he walked over to one of the slot machines. ‘How did you know of such a game?’
Xiao Huoli giggled at that. “Of course, I know them from your memories. Even though you have never played gambling before, I can easily learn about gambling in this world based on your memories.”
‘Ha ha.’ Chen Li laughed wryly at that and then started playing the slot machine with a starting credit of ten thousand. Since he had just started playing, he asked Xiao Huoli to hold back first because people would suspect him if he won a lot immediately.
After a while, he won a few times but lost even more frequently, and his credits were only five thousand left. After that, Xiao Huoli started helping him; even though the slot machine was controlled by a certain device, it didn’t matter to her. In this way, Chen Li began to win continuously. His credit, which initially had five thousand left, has now reached thirty thousand.
After that, he decided to stop playing the slot machine, and he moved to find another game to avoid suspicion. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a table surrounded by a few spectators, and he decided to look. He saw two people playing big and small using two dice, and the rules were very simple, one to six was small, and seven to twelve was big. But he could see that their betting amount was quite big, and they bet a minimum of ten thousand yuan.
After a while, one of the players gave up and left the table. Then the bald man, who was his opponent, asked. “Who else wants to gamble with me?”
“Hehe, don’t miss this opportunity, Chen Li. Moreover, this bald guy seems to have amassed a lot of money from his previous opponents.” Xiao Huoli said as she pushed Chen Li forward.
Chen Li laughed in his heart and directly sat on the empty seat. “I will play with you.”
“Hmm? Do you have money to bet with me?” The bald man was skeptical because Chen Li’s appearance was only ordinary; he doubted that he had that much money to bet with him.
Chen Li just smiled and put all his chips on the table. “One hundred thousand.”
“Alright!” The bald man then signaled the dealer, as he said to Chen Li. “We’ll bet ten thousand yuan at a time like before.”
“No problem.” Chen Li casually replied.
For the first five games, Chen Li deliberately made himself lose. The bald guy then taunted him. “Heh! Your luck sure is bad; you’ve lost five times in a row.”
“No problem; I still have enough chips here.” Chen Li replied with a casual shrug. He then asked the dealer to roll the dice, putting fifty thousand on big. “I bet all my last chips.”
The bald guy snorted softly and threw the same amount at small as he said. “Get ready to go home because I will win again.”
The dealer then opened the cover of the dice and announced the result. “12, Big!”
“What!?” The bald guy exclaimed loudly as he stared at the two dice.
Chen Li chuckled at his reaction; he then took all the chips and said. “It seems the goddess of luck is on my side now.”
“Roll again!” The bald man said to the dealer as he glared fiercely at Chen Li.
‘Sigh, he just wants to win and doesn’t want to lose.’ Chen Li muttered to himself while shaking his head. After the dealer places his dice, he again puts all his chips on big. “One hundred thousand.”
“Humph!” The bald man put the same amount on Small again.
“10, Big!”
“Damn it!” The bald guy cursed loudly after his second loss.
Chen Li just laughed upon hearing that; he could see the dice clearly from the start but was deliberately giving in at first. After that, they continued playing again, and the bald guy had terrible luck gambling with him.

Control Room
Two men were sitting in front of several monitors and kept their eyes on the screen showing the table where Chen Li was gambling. “Hey, look at that! That man has won a lot over the bald guy.”
“Hmm? The bald guy has also won a lot before, but he’s now facing an opponent much luckier than him.” The other man responded as he stared at the screen. “If they keep playing, I think that bald guy will lose badly to him.”
“Yes, I agree with you.”
*Crack*
A woman in her thirties walked into the room, and a young woman followed her. Even though she was a young woman, she was dressed in men’s clothing combined with a black jacket and black knit cap, with a long sword at her waist.
The woman in her thirties then asked them. “What are you guys watching, Nan Er and Nan San? Is someone causing trouble at my place tonight?”
The two men immediately stood up and greeted them, and Nan San answered her. “No one makes trouble, young miss Xinyue.”
“We’re just watching that guy, young miss.” Nan Er added as he pointed at the screen.
“Hmm?” Nan Xinyue then drew closer to the screen and observed Chen Li. “Oh? That bald Jiang lost to that guy? How much did he lose?”
“Judging by their chip stack, he’s lost over two million now.” Nan San answered after he saw the pile of chips in front of Chen Li.
“Over two million?” Nan Xinyue was shocked to hear that.
Nan Er then added. “That man only brought in around a hundred thousand at first, but he already has over two million now.”
Nan Xinyue was even more shocked hearing that; she then fell silent and nodded to herself. Soon, she said. “If that man is done gambling, you can invite him to meet me; I want to cooperate with him.”
“Yes.” They answered in unison.
