After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 544: Exploiting Loopholes
Three people carrying signboards quickly arrived at an inn.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Chen Yu had been driving for a full day and night, and even with his excellent physical condition, he was a bit tired.
Just as the three of them were about to enter the inn, a particularly sleazy-looking man suddenly appeared and blocked their path.
"This must be your first time here! You may not know the local rules, but if you want to stay at the inn, you have to play a game with me. Win, and you can go in; lose, and you must satisfy any condition I propose."
Chen Yu couldn’t help frowning, this guy was clearly a street hustler.
Having gambled away all his money to others, he came here to look for some new faces, trying to extort them.
Chen Yu didn’t want to stoop to the man’s level, and raised his hand to push him away.
But as soon as he raised his hand, the man fell to the ground and began howling in pain.
"What a disaster, someone’s beating me up! I kindly wanted to show them around, and they hit me instead, outrageous, is there no one to intervene?"
This shout immediately attracted the surrounding crowd, and security personnel on the street also hurried over.
The person in charge, without asking for details, walked straight up to Chen Yu.
"Sir, according to our regulations, you must take responsibility for this and compensate him one hundred taels of gold," said the chief.
Before Chen Yu could speak, Jin Lingsu couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Do you all have eyes? It’s obvious this guy is lying on the ground trying to scam us, why should we pay him?"
Chen Yu raised his hand to stop Jin Lingsu.
"Since it’s the local rule, then I have nothing to say. However, I don’t have much gold on me, would it be okay to exchange something else of equal value?"
The person in charge didn’t say much and just nodded.
Chen Yu took out a small jade bead from his person, tossed it to the man, and then entered the shop with Jin Lingsu and Tadole.
After the man received the jade bead, he was ecstatic.
The value of the bead was worth much more than one hundred taels of gold, and if sold at an antique shop, it could possibly fetch six hundred taels of gold.
The person in charge looked at the man with disgust.
"Li Dongsheng, you’ve already exploited our loopholes to swindle money several times. I’m warning you now, if there’s a next time, don’t blame us for not being polite."
Li Dongsheng laughed heartily, completely unconcerned.
"I’ve thoroughly studied the rules of Sandhole. As long as I have a penny on me, you can’t just kick me out! Besides, I haven’t violated any of your rules, so why shouldn’t I be impolite?"
The brazen attitude even made the onlookers gossip amongst themselves, but Li Dongsheng didn’t care at all, swinging the jade bead in his hand as he walked towards the antique street.
As soon as Chen Yu sat down in the shop, Jin Lingsu slammed the table fiercely.
"You’re so foolish, that guy was clearly scamming us, so why did you give him money? And you gave him such a fine jade bead!"
Chen Yu sighed helplessly, having just scanned the person in charge’s brain information, he understood all the rules of Sandhole.
Although Li Dongsheng’s behavior was indeed shameless, according to the local rules, if a conflict occurs and one party falls, the one who remains standing has to pay.
Initially, these rules were designed to protect the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, but it was unexpected that someone like Li Dongsheng would exploit them to the fullest.
If Chen Yu hadn’t paid, they would have been kicked out for breaking the rules.
"Sis Jin, Brother Chen probably understood the rules here, that’s why he paid!"
No sooner had Taleduo spoken to mediate, Jin Lingsu exploded.
"What kind of crappy rule is that? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come."
The shop owner hurriedly placed two roasted pigs on the table.
"This honored guest must not criticize the rules of the Sand Hole; otherwise, even our small shop could be implicated."
Jin Lingsu let out a long sigh and said nothing more, but sliced off a pork leg with vigor.
Chen Yu loosened his muscles a bit.
"Eat well and rest up. I’ll go settle the score with that Li Dongsheng afterwards."
Although Jin Lingsu’s face was filled with indignation, she didn’t say more and went upstairs after finishing her meal.
The Sand Hole and the East Ming Canyon had somewhat similar structures, but to some extent, the Sand Hole was much more sophisticated.
Its size was at least eight times larger than that of East Ming Canyon, and it could truly be called an underground city.
The population it could accommodate reached several hundred thousand!
Most importantly, there were extremely strict rules here. No matter who it was, violating the rules meant being expelled.
After Chen Yu had had enough sleep, he yawned as he walked downstairs, only to find Jin Lingsu and Taleduo had already been waiting at the door for a while.
"I’ve had my meal and my sleep, let’s hurry up and find that Li Dongsheng, or else I won’t be able to swallow this anger!"
Chen Yu laughed helplessly, walked straight out the door, and spread his system’s coverage, quickly locating Li Dongsheng.
In a fairly luxurious workshop, Li Dongsheng was sitting next to a table, incessantly shaking a box of dice.
"I’m really lucky today, I’ve already won ten rounds straight. It won’t be long before I win back everything I lost."
As he shouted out loud, Li Dongsheng placed the dice on the table.
When he opened it to look, there were three sixes!
The crowd watching immediately became unsettled, unheard of someone winning eleven rounds in a row here.
Li Dongsheng appeared a bit too excited, and grabbed a handful of chips from the table and threw them out.
"I’m finally turning the tables!"
No sooner had he shouted this out than Chen Yu suddenly walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Li, we meet again! It seems we really are fated. How about we play a game?"
Li Dongsheng was startled; he hadn’t expected Chen Yu to find him so quickly.
However, he appeared very calm. After all, cheating and deceiving were not new to him, and he wasn’t afraid of the victims showing up.
"Sure, but my luck is strong right now. If you really want to play with me, you’d better be ready to go broke."
Chen Yu looked indifferent, casually shook the dice box in his hand.
Li Dongsheng was not the least bit intimidated, his lips curved in a strange smile as he stared intently at Chen Yu.
Just as the two were about to reveal the results, the boss of the place hurried over.
"Gentlemen, according to our rules here, if someone wins ten rounds in a row, we have to change the tools on the table. I hope you two can understand."
Li Dongsheng was immediately anxious; he was on a winning streak, and changing the tools would break his lucky streak, wouldn’t it?
"I disagree! Are you just trying to mess with me because you see me winning too much?"
