Chapter 603 Monopoly(2/2)
Gu Ting nodded and agreed, then closed his eyes.
Luo Lie counted: "One, two..."
The second count is over, but there is no three.
Gu Ting couldn't help but open his eyes, stared at Luo Lie, and said, "Young Master, aren't you cheating?"
Luo Lie laughed and said, "Why am I cheating? Did I tell you how long will it take to count three numbers?"
Gu Ting sighed lightly, still sitting on the deck with his legs crossed, muttering, "We and the four of us went to the dragon and tiger den of Miami. We should have been united in unity, but, young master, you know you are bullying people. How can our four of us complete the task?"
Luo Lie frowned slightly and said, "How can you say it's a group of four?"
Gu Ting rolled his eyelids and said, "Then how many of us are we in a group?"
Luo Lie stretched out three fingers, but smiled strangely and said, "It's obviously a group of five people!" After saying that, in order not to get involved in Gu Ting's trap, Luo Lie simply left.
Seeing this, Gu Ting quickly got up and followed.
Luo Lie smiled while walking, saying, "Xiao Tingzi, you don't bet or bet. If you lose, you are not allowed to ask me for money to enter the casino in the future!"
Gu Ting followed Luo Lie and muttered in a low voice: "Bad Young Master, the best bad Young Master in the world. When I arrive in Miami, the first thing I have to do is to find a nightclub to sell the Young Master, Humph!"
Luo Lie reached out his hand, touched Gu Ting's bald head, and said, "You can't just sell the money you sell, at least half of it will be given to me. Otherwise, be careful of this young master slapping you in the ass."
I don’t know if it was angry or something, but Gu Ting’s face turned red.
After dinner and returning to the cabin, Luo Lie mentioned Qin Gang's snoring. "Da Gang, your snoring is really shocking! You know clearly that you are snoring, but you don't know that it's a thunderbolt."
Qin Gang replied embarrassedly: "We woke up early in the morning and woke up at around four o'clock. When we woke up, we could never sleep anymore. So we were indeed a little sleepy at noon. We didn't know how to sleep at night. Young Master, we were half lying down at night and we wouldn't snore any more."
Gu Ting had just climbed onto the upper bunk, but then turned over again, sat next to Luo Lie, hugged Luo Lie's arm, begged, "Young Master, are you going to bed now? It's too early, why don't we go out for a walk?"
Luo Lie poked Gu Ting's forehead and said, "You're itchy again, right?"
Gu Ting said: "I don't have money, and you don't give me money. How can it be useless if you itchy hands? I mean, let's go shopping in other places, for example, listening to music or something, isn't it good?"
Qin Gang grinned and said, "You are the only one? Still listening to music?"
Gu Ting gave Qin Gang a blank look and said, "I don't understand foreign music, but the young master can do it! Since our young master is stupid, he has a lot of money and is greedy for pleasure, of course he has to enjoy foreign music."
When talking about the young master, Qin Gang was naturally blocked and dared not refute it.
Luo Lie thought about it and felt that it was indeed a bit too early to go to bed at this moment. Taking advantage of this time, it was indeed a good choice to be able to listen to music. So he nodded and responded to Gu Ting's request.
Gu Ting was overjoyed and hurriedly found Luo Lie's shoes from under the bed, and stubbornly insisted on putting on Luo Lie. Putting on Luo Lie's shoes, Gu Ting jumped and took off Luo Lie's coat from the hanger at the door of the cabin. Not only did he have to serve Luo Lie on, but he also had to button Luo Lie's shirts. "Learn to learn a little bit. As a follower, you have to serve the young master, right? Master, do you think Xiao Ting'er's words make sense?"
Luo Lie has had experience, so be careful when talking to Xiao Tingzi, otherwise he might fall into the pit he dug at any time. The best way is to be ambiguous, neither saying it is right nor saying it is wrong: "Yes." Luo Lie didn't even open his mouth, but just made a sound from his nose.
Gu Ting seemed to have no other intentions, so he happily opened the cabin door and walked out of the cabin first.
In order to compete with trains for tourists, cruise ships have done a lot in entertainment facilities and entertainment projects. In addition to traditional entertainment projects such as playgrounds, gyms, swimming pools, casinos, etc., they also added dance halls, cinemas and other venues. A boat ticket seems very expensive. For example, from New York to Miami, the train sleeper is only more than four yuan or less than five yuan, and the hard seat is half cheaper. When taking a cruise ship, not to mention the luxury cabin, it only costs fifteen dollars for first-class cabins, which is more than three times more expensive than the train sleeper.
But if you don’t consider the time factor, taking a cruise is much more cost-effective than a train. You don’t care about food when you take a train, but the cruise ship does it care about food. Although the quality of the food is average, it can make passengers fill up. Taking a train is just a narrow space, and you can’t find a place for you to stretch your arms and kick your legs, but you can be free on the boat. If you want to exercise, go to fitness, go swimming and swim. In addition, taking a train is extremely monotonous, at most you can just look at the scenery outside the window, but on the boat, you can play in the amusement park, go to the casino to try your luck, and even watch movies and concerts.
The most important thing is that all these entertainment projects are free services, all included in the boat ticket. Of course, lower than the first class, you cannot enjoy these free services.
Gu Ting tricked Luo Lie out under the banner of listening to music, but he stopped moving forward in the amusement park. After playing for nearly an hour, he was still unsatisfied. Luo Lie was not interested in those amusement projects, but he did not stop Gu Ting. He stood alone outside the amusement park, watching Gu Ting who was having fun in the stadium with interest.
In front of me, Alice's figure appeared unconsciously.
Why did you choose a train when you returned to Kingsoft from New York? Why couldn’t you take Alice on a cruise line around the United States of America? Alice has never taken a cruise line in her life. How happy would she have if she was on a cruise line? Luo Lie always thought that they were young and had enough time to plan a better life in the future, but unexpectedly, Alice’s life suddenly stopped, causing Luo Lie’s longing for the future to be wiped out in an instant.
The strong regret made Luo Lie's eyes wet. When he subconsciously took out his handkerchief to wipe it, he was seen by Gu Ting, who had just come out of the amusement park. Although Gu Ting was eccentric, his mind was very simple. When he saw Luo Lie wiping the corners of his eyes, he couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, why are you crying? Are you angry with me?"
Luo Lie followed the boat and said, "Of course, I promised to listen to music, but you played in the amusement park for so long. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the sadder I became, so I cried."
Gu Ting curled his lips and said, "It's clear that Xiao Feizhu has fascinated your eyes. Don't think that I couldn't see your thoughts when I was young. In fact, you don't want to listen to music at all. You just want to go to the casino to try your luck, right?"
Luo Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Which eye does you know I want to go to the casino?"
"Well... this one." Gu Ting narrowed his left eye and pointed his hand at his open right eye: "Oh, no, it's this one!"
Luo Lie sighed: "Small gambling is good for love, big gambling is harmful to your body. Xiao Ting'er, you can't be obsessed with gambling like this. Nine out of ten gambling loses. If you are obsessed with gambling, you will not end up being obsessed with gambling."
Gu Ting pouted, took out a handful of casino chips from his pocket, picked up the only purple one, handed it to Luo Lie, and said, "Who said that? Look, the money you lost at noon, didn't I win you back in the afternoon?"
Purple chips are the largest denomination in the cruise casino, worth one hundred dollars. Looking at the remaining chips in Gu Ting's hand, roughly estimated that there will be thirty or forty dollars together. In other words, after lunch, Gu Ting took the twenty dollars given to him by Luo Lie. In just over half an hour, he won more than one hundred dollars.
Did it really win?
Luo Lie couldn't help but make a big question mark in his mind.
If this kid really had this ability, why would Luo Lie lose more than 100 dollars before lunch?
Gu Ting saw Luo Lie’s question and quickly defended himself: “Young Master, this is really my winner. If I stolen it, the casino would have been in trouble long ago.”
Although Gu Ting's defense made some sense, Luo Lie still couldn't dispel the question, so he asked, "Then let me ask you, why did you lose so badly when you played with me in the casino before lunch?"
Gu Ting said aggrievedly: "You don't understand after saying it, and you don't give me benefits, so why should I tell you?"
Luo Lie bumped into the chips in his hand and said, "You explained clearly, this chip is yours."
Gu Ting snorted coldly, disagreed and said, "That chip is mine? Besides, if I want to win money, I can do it anytime. Why do I have to come back? I have given you the chips?"
After arguing, Luo Lie simply made a tough move, his face darkened, and he shouted: "If you can't explain clearly, I will treat these chips as you stolen!"
Or Luo Lie's kiss was too stern, or Gu Ting was acting intentionally. In short, when Luo Lie's words were about to end, Gu Ting made an exaggerated sensation and couldn't help but pout and said aggrievedly: "Young Master, are you too domineering?" But seeing Luo Lie still glaring at his eyes, Gu Ting stuck out his tongue and changed his mouth, "Okay, I said, can't I say?"
Seeing Luo Lie's expression seemed to be a little more relaxed, Gu Ting also smiled and explained: "Every casino has its own characteristics, and every dealer in the casino also has his own habits. When we go to play before lunch, Xiao Tinger focused all his attention on observing these details. It would be natural to lose money."
Luo Lie poked Gu Ting's forehead and smiled and said, "Do you really treat me as a sucker? Oh, taking advantage of this young master's opportunity to lose money, you understand the tricks and then win your own money, right?"
Gu Ting wailed: "Young Master, are you still rational? What are you holding in your hand? The chips! You can exchange them for one hundred dollars in chips at any time!"
Luo Lie flipped his wrist and when he was unfolding, the chip was gone. Luo Lie smiled and said, "Where are the chips you mentioned? Why didn't I see them?"
Gu Ting was stunned, then slapped and cheered: "Young Master, can you still use magic tricks? Can you teach Xiao Ting'er?"
Although he is the disciple of the old ghost, Luo Lie has never learned tricks from his master. He just used this trick. In order to deceive Alice, he learned from his senior brother Zhao Daxin. It is okay to coax the child, but if he really performs on stage, he will definitely get rid of it. After achieving the goal of teasing Gu Ting, Luo Lie flipped his wrist and revealed the chip again, and smiled and said, "Young Master again, why are you feeling depressed when you came out of the casino in the afternoon? I thought you lost completely again!"
Gu Ting said: "Xiao Ting'er was targeted in the casino. They sent experts to deal with Xiao Ting'er. Xiao Ting'er couldn't think of a way to crack it for a while, so of course she would be depressed."
Luo Lie said: "If you can't crack it, then don't crack it. Gambling is never a good thing. Xiao Ting'er, listen to Brother Luo Lie's advice, don't be addicted to gambling, okay?"
Gu Ting nodded first, then shook his head again, and said confidently: "Young master, Xiao Ting'er doesn't like gambling, Xiao Ting'er likes challenges. Anyone who Xiao Ting'er won the casino or dealer who won the win will no longer have any interest. But Xiao Ting'er, the master they sent today, wanted to win him."
Luo Lie said: "The reason why you pulled me to the casino is to win him, right?"
Gu Ting curled his lips and said, "That's more, Xiao Ting'er lost nearly two hundred yuan in his hands. If he couldn't get it back, Xiao Ting'er didn't even want to go to Miami."
Luo Liedao: "Then have you come up with a way to crack it?"
Gu Ting shook his head and muttered, "No."
Luo Lie said suspiciously: "No!? Then you dare to go?"
Gu Ting said: "Xiao Ting'er can win some on other stages first, force the master out and then lose to him. As long as you compete with him a few more times, Xiao Ting'er will definitely win him."
Luo Lie said: "Then you just go by yourself? Why do you have to drag me on?"
Gu Ting showed a pitiful look and said, "The people in the casino are all fierce. Xiao Ting'er is a little scared. Master, you just play with Xiao Ting'er for a few games, okay?"
Luo Lie was soft-hearted and was most afraid of others begging him. At the same time, Luo Lie was also quite curious about Gu Ting's gambling skills and wanted to witness it with his own eyes, so he nodded and agreed.
Gu Ting happily grabbed Luo Lie's hand and dragged Luo Lie into the casino.
However, as soon as the two of them entered the casino door, they were targeted by the people in the casino. Gu Ting pulled Luo Lie and squeezed into a gambling table, three casino staff surrounded him, and one of the foremen looked like a human, "Two gentlemen, our manager is welcome."
The gambling industry on the East Coast is almost monopolized by Mafia, including the casinos on these cruise ships, which are also run by Mafia. Those who open casinos are not afraid of customers winning money. If all gamblers lose money after entering, then the casino will not be opened for a long time, and sooner or later it will be a result of closing down and closing. Only with both losing and winning can the popularity of the casino and inspire the passion of gamblers. Casino operations only need to control the overall situation, so that a small number of people can win money is enough to guarantee their own interests.
However, a way to win money like Gu Ting is unacceptable to casino operators.
"Why?" With Luo Lie's support, Gu Ting shouted with confidence: "Have I cheated? Why don't you let me play?"
The casino foreman said: "Sir, please don't get me wrong. We will never reject any guest. However, the teacher's gambling skills are really good. Betting here is a disrespect for other guests. Our manager specially opened a high-level bet for the two in the private room, hoping that they can enjoy the glory."
This is very obvious. The high-level gambling game set by the casino manager must be the master Gu Ting met. Gu Ting is not a real gambler. His happiness only lies in winning, not how much money he wins. Therefore, Gu Ting is not interested in such a stubborn gambling game. At the same time, Gu Ting is not a person who likes to cause trouble. Seeing the casino's resolute attitude, the kid simply grabbed Luo Lie's hand and turned around and wanted to go back.
Just after noon, in less than twenty minutes, Gu Ting won nearly 400 US dollars in the casino. Although the master sent out later won three games in a row, he was eventually taken away by Gu Ting for more than 100 US dollars. Mafia was used to being arrogant and domineering, so how could she bear this tone? But she had to abide by the rules and let the guests come and go freely, so she could only watch Gu Ting leave.
