Chapter 1407: Chapter 852: Liu Zheng: Call Me Master

"Here are fifty kilograms of Silver Gemstones. Count it carefully; no returns or exchanges once sold."

The Dwarf opened the box and said.

The box was filled with square silver semi-transparent metal blocks, each corner refracting colorful, dazzling light.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Liu Zheng glanced at it briefly and then stored the entire box in the Qiankun Ring.

Being short a pound or two doesn’t matter; now that it’s in hand, it’s better to leave quickly to avoid complications.

"Eh? You’re really not going to count it?"

The Dwarf asked in surprise.

"For this amount of money, it’s not worth my time. But if you dare to shortchange me... hehe."

Liu Zheng let out a cold laugh.

"What, you want to smash our store?"

The Dwarf responded with a cold laugh.

"I won’t smash your store or hit your people. I’ll just pour this pot of soup on you. Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

He took out the "Metropolitan Most Smelly Soup."

"Your store could be closed indefinitely."

Liu Zheng said.

"What kind of soup is so potent?"

The Dwarf wasn’t flustered; instead, he seemed a bit curious.

Because he really hadn’t tampered with it, and Liu Zheng didn’t seem like the type to demand money unfairly.

"Metropolitan Most Smelly Soup, have you heard of it?"

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"No. Is it stinky? As stinky as your Zhen Dan people’s bean juice?"

The Dwarf asked.

"... Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything."

Pretending to be cool for a blind audience, how tragic life can be.

Leaving the Deep Earth Workshop, Liu Zheng drove straight to Ping’an City Gambling House.

Ping’an City Gambling House isn’t on First Street, but on Feiao Street, not far from it.

Feiao Street is also the largest settlement of Fusang people, with rampant gangs and various forces. Even the First Group can’t rule unchallenged here.

And Ping’an City Gambling House isn’t owned by the First Group but is the territory of the second-largest gang, the Gambling Society.

As the name suggests, the members of this gang are extremely fond of gambling, to the point where they decide almost everything by gambling.

Legend has it that their president, the Gambling Snake, once gambled with and won against a God.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Liu Zheng at the moment.

He parked the car in the gambling house’s lot and walked directly toward the main entrance.

"Sorry, we don’t welcome delivery men here."

Two men in black suits with red ties reached out to stop him.

"But do you welcome this?"

Liu Zheng directly tossed a gold bar at one of them.

"Exchange it for chips, and the remainder is your tip."

He said calmly.

"This... I’m very sorry. Please wait a moment."

The man holding the gold bar felt it a bit hot, bowed, and hurried into the gambling house.

After a few minutes, a long-haired woman wearing the same outfit but with a smiley mask on her face came out.

"I am the manager of this gambling house. Are you here to gamble, sir?"

The masked woman asked.

"If not, am I here to eat?"

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"Actually, the cuisine of our Ping’an City Gambling House is quite famous too."

The masked woman replied gently.

"Alright, maybe I’ll try it later. Can I go in now?"

He asked.

"I’m sorry. Because of previous unpleasant incidents, our gambling house strictly prohibits delivery men from entering."

The masked woman replied.

"What kind of incidents? Someone sent a beautiful croupier to her death?"

Liu Zheng continued with his cold jokes.

"No, it was a delivery man who lost money and refused to pay, injuring staff and causing a significant property loss."

The masked woman shook her head.

"Such poor behavior. Nowadays, anyone can become a delivery man? Our reputation as delivery men has been tarnished by people like this."

He said indignantly.

"That delivery man was from your Bloody Restaurant." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The masked woman said.

"Couldn’t be Niu Ma, could it?"

He had a bad feeling.

"No, it was the Legendary delivery man."

The masked woman replied.

"Alright, not as cool as I thought."

Liu Zheng showed a look of resignation.

This guy, everywhere he went, he left troubles for others to deal with.

"You can’t let one incident ruin everything. Don’t worry, delivery men like him are one-of-a-kind. I’m definitely willing to gamble and lose."

Liu Zheng argued.

"Talk is cheap. If you want to enter the gambling house, you have to gamble with me first. Win, and you’re in."

The masked woman said.

"You might as well just let me hand you money."

He rolled his eyes.

"Gambling with you, the gambling house master, I won’t win a damn thing; I’ll lose all my money at the door."

"The Gambling House Master is Lord Gambling Snake. I’m only in charge of management. How about gambling with him then?"

The masked woman pointed at the young man holding the gold bar.

"Alright, each person draws a playing card to compare sizes; one round to decide the winner."

Liu Zheng said.

"No problem. If you win, Ping’an City Gambling House welcomes you. If you lose, you’ll have to find your fortune elsewhere."

The masked woman said.

"Deal."

He nodded.

The masked woman put her palms together, and when she opened them, a deck of playing cards appeared in her hands.

"I’ll shuffle first and draw first."

Liu Zheng said in an uncompromising tone.

"Please."

The masked woman generously handed over the playing cards to him.

Liu Zheng unwrapped the deck, gave a hasty shuffle, and handed it to the young man.

After all, the cut should be made by them. He wasn’t as rude as the Legendary delivery man.

The young man didn’t perform any fancy tricks and made a straightforward cut in the middle.

Liu Zheng closed his eyes and drew a card by feeling.

When he opened his eyes, it was a "Xiao Wang" (Joker).

"Hmm."

Liu Zheng was quite satisfied with this result.

Realistically, there aren’t so many coincidences. If the opponent happens to draw the Da Wang (Big Joker), then there’s only one possibility — he’s cheating.
