Chapter 744: Earn some travel expenses
"Money can make ghosts grind, money, it's really a good thing, you can't do anything without it!"
Looking at the few dollars left in his hand, Ye Chen couldn't help but say with a wry smile.
Outside of Gem Town, he found a second-hand car dealership, but the prices were ridiculously high, and when he found a suitable off-road vehicle, the other party directly offered 50,000 US dollars.
There were only more than 3,000 points in his hand, so Ye Chen made two more requests, asked them to modify it according to their own, paid a deposit of 2,000, and asked to pick up the car tomorrow morning.
However, the boss also said that he would give Ye Chen five hours at most, and he could pick up the car when he paid the full amount at that time, and if he didn't come by then, there would be no deposit of 2,000.
There are one thousand left, Ye Chen still has to prepare some emergency materials, and the town has its own troops, so it is forbidden to sell weapons here.
In order to guard against the bandits and mercenaries who roam the desert and specialize in robbing caravans.
There is also a rule in the town that all people entering the town are not allowed to carry weapons, and the local armed forces are also very closely checked.
Ignoring weapons, Ye Chen used the remaining money to buy some daily necessities and send them back to the homestay, Tang Luotong in the room had already fallen asleep.
Without disturbing her, Ye Chen turned around and left the B&B again, there was not much money left in his pocket, and he had to find a little in the casino.
Walking out of the B&B, about less than five hundred meters later, Ye Chen came to the door of the previous casino.
Before the person entered, he had already heard the noise coming from inside, and when the curtain was opened, the first thing that rushed out was the choking smell of tobacco.
Although it was not dark yet, the house of more than 100 square meters was already full of people.
Most of them are dressed by locals, but there are also some travelers who come here out of curiosity.
This kind of casino has no chips, all of them are cash, listening to the conversation mixed with local dialect and English, Ye Chen hugged his arms and turned around.
There is also a difference between big bets and small bets in the field, and there are also games of playing cards in addition to dice.
But the people here are more accustomed to dice, and on the four or five long gaming tables, the dealers are shaking the dice clock.
After looking around, Ye Chen found a table, and it could be seen from the piles of money in front of them that these people were wealthy.
A pile of dollars was stacked there, and everyone had more than 100,000 dollars in front of them, and judging from their dress, they should belong to the boss of the camel caravan.
Ye Chen knew that in addition to this oasis in the desert, the most famous thing was the sapphire mine, and these people were the guys who smuggled gems.
Come here to rest and relax, money is nothing to them, and these dollars are just a gem money.
"I'm coming!"
In the face of such a person, Ye Chen naturally would not let it go, and after a brief look at the rules of the game, Ye Chen pulled over the chair and sat down.
This is a game of betting, the dealer only rakes, one side buys big and one buys small, and the winner or loser is determined in the banker's dice.
took out the few hundred dollars left, and when the dice landed, Ye Chen threw it inside with a smile on his face, and winked at the guy opposite, which was obviously a provocative behavior.
Ye Chen's expression was accurately passed to the guy who had just won, and in his forties, he was obviously very unhappy, grabbed a handful of money, and threw it into the small without hesitation.
At the same time, he raised his middle finger at Ye Chen, and he was extremely arrogant with a ring on his hand.
"I'll make you cry!"
Ye Chen took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and looked at the other party with a sneer, the big fish was really hooked, and he wanted to slaughter the other party well.
The dice clock opened, and the three dice were two five and one six, which also proved that Ye Chen had won, and a few guys who followed Ye Chen also won.
"This is just the beginning!"
Three hundred changes to six hundred, holding it in his hand, Ye Chen still sneered at the other party with disdain.
Such a mockery made the other party also feel that Ye Chen was targeting him, and several friends around the other party also turned their faces to look at Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen was not in a hurry, picked up six hundred and threw it on the table without hesitation, and the moment the dice landed, the money also fell accurately on the table.
The more angry he became, the more irrational he became, and the other party, who was so despised, immediately gambled on the opposite choice.
He didn't care about this money, so he wasn't afraid of losing, but afraid that Ye Chen wouldn't follow.
The dice bell opened, and Ye Chen triumphed again, six hundred changes to one thousand two, and it was only the time of two hands.
With the dice again, one thousand two becomes two thousand four, four thousand eight, nine thousand six, and when he loses, it is only a few dozen dollars.
Round by round, time passed quickly, but Ye Chen fought with the camel team opposite.
Ye Chen bought big and he bought small, round by round, Ye Chen saw hope.
"Looks like you're the way to the light!"
In less than two hours, the banknotes in front of Ye Chen's eyes had already been stacked, and the arrogant smile of the other party had now disappeared without a trace.
Lose a small amount of money and win a big money, and when the dice clock is opened again, the other party's face is blue.
"Alright, thanks to your generous support, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future!"
picked up the 100,000 dollars in front of him, these were all from a few of them, because of his performance, his two friends around him also lost some.
The money was enough, and after Ye Chen directly put the ten stacks of dollar bills into his arms, he smiled at the three people opposite, turned around and left.
From their faces, Ye Chen saw anger, tens of thousands of yuan was nothing to them, but they couldn't swallow this breath.
Ignoring their expressions at all, Ye Chen threw the dealer a tip of $100, then turned around and walked out of the casino.
But now that the money is enough, there is no need for Ye Chen to win so much, after all, above the desert, no amount of money has any effect.
When Ye Chen walked out of the casino, it was already dark, he walked to the entrance of the town and gave the rest to the boss, so the bosses immediately gathered people to rush to work, and at the same time nodded with a smile, there was no disdain just now, and all this was because of money.
After adding a few other parts, Ye Chen left the second-hand car dealership with the rest of the money, and when he returned to the homestay, he seemed to be followed by someone.
"Looking for death?"
The artist is bold, Ye Chen didn't pay attention to these sneaky guys, they should have been sent by those piglets.
Fortunately, they didn't attack immediately, Ye Chen also returned to the B&B smoothly, and he was a little sleepy when he walked up to the second floor, after all, he hadn't rested all the time.
After opening a room, Ye Chen pushed the door lightly and entered, Tang Luotong on the bed was still asleep, without disturbing her dreams, Ye Chen leaned directly on the sofa and closed his eyes.
But not long after he slept, a burst of firelight shone in from the window, followed by a burst of drums, Tang Luotong sat up all of a sudden, and looked out of the window with a puzzled expression.
