Genshin Impact: I, the Prince of Winter, rule over the world

Su Yu's plan aroused her strong curiosity.

And because she took the lead, the news that Prince Zhi Dong won was a huge bet of one billion moras spread throughout Ina Wife at an extremely fast speed.

So people began to hesitate.

After all, if others dare to bet one billion Moras, it means they must have full confidence.

As a result, more people participated in discussions and purchases.

Yae Shenzi smiled and looked at Liyue Port on the other side of the sea.

"Su Yu, how are you going to thank me? When you come to Dao Wife next time, you must make it up to me."

This time, Yae Shenzi did not address Prince Winter, but called him by his first name.

Chapter 157

It is said that the shopkeeper in charge of the gambling house in Inazuma area took the fastest merchant ship and rushed to the snow-covered Winter Country.

On the first day, I was infected with wind and cold. Sometimes I felt like falling into an ice cave, sometimes like being roasted by a stove. My body was alternately hot and cold, and I had a constant headache.

Fortunately, Zhidong Kingdom had already developed advanced treatments to treat this severe cold. The shopkeeper was discharged from the hospital the next day after a night of treatment.

When checking out at the front desk of the hospital, the shopkeeper was very grateful and said that the probability of his rice wife surviving such severe wind and cold was very low. He bowed to the doctor to express his gratitude. It was the doctor from Solstice Kingdom who saved his life.

Unexpectedly, the doctors and nurses told him that if he wanted to thank him, he should thank His Highness the Prince, who developed a special cold medicine to treat wind and cold, and also developed a therapy called normal saline injection.

The reason why he recovered so quickly was because he took cold medicine and was injected with normal saline.

The shopkeeper sensed a business opportunity and hurriedly asked about the principle of saline injection.

He plans to introduce this therapy to Daozuma and open a clinic specializing in the treatment of wind and cold, which will be more profitable than opening a gambling shop.

In the continent of Teyvat, the pharmaceutical industry has always been profitable, and no businessman will not be tempted.

The doctor said that the physiological saline was blended in a special proportion. As for the specific proportion, they did not know it. It was the patent of His Royal Highness. The shopkeeper gave up the idea.

However, this time he really wanted to thank Prince Solstice.

Not only did it save his life, but it also brought him huge wealth——

That's right, he came to Zhidong to promote the gambling business.

The gambling shop business in the Winter Kingdom has plummeted due to the suppression by the government. He wants to use the Go battle between Su Yu and the immortal to restore the influence and popularity of the gambling house in the Winter Kingdom.

After passing through the twists and turns of the corridors and then through the deep sewers, he finally arrived at the main gambling shop in Solstice Kingdom.

This is the largest store in the Winter Solstice Kingdom. Dozens of other stores are much smaller than this one.

Zhidong Kingdom suddenly announced a law prohibiting the legal operation of the gambling industry, and all businesses were forced to go underground. In order to build this new branch, he applied to the Liyue Gambling Headquarters in the name of the owner of Daozhu Gambling. Several hundred million molas, and a large number of capable salesmen were dispatched to this place.

It is really helpless to build the casino in such a harsh environment. Only this sewer area is not within the jurisdiction of the Solstice Kingdom's laws.

This time, he plans to use the Go tournament to make back all his money with profit.

The person in charge of the new store is a bald man with a hooked nose, blue eyes, and obvious mixed-race features.

When I saw the shopkeeper coming in, I immediately took him enthusiastically to the reception hall at the back.

A group of beautiful women in scantily clad clothes, accompanied by a live band, danced enthusiastically for him. During this period, several stunning women deliberately seduced him with their charming eyes.

"I've told you many times, I don't like to open champagne in advance to celebrate." His face was cold and there was no smile. I don't know if it was because the cold had not healed yet, or because he was in a very bad mood.

The bald man hurriedly replied: "In this Go competition betting, all the previously lost customers have come back. Not only that, but a large number of new customers have also come in. Our current business is almost catching up with what it was before the ban. This is definitely not counted." Open the champagne in advance.”

"Tell them to stand down and remove the band."

The bald man didn't know what the shopkeeper meant, but since his boss had told him, he had no choice but to do it.

The rest of the people in the living room left one after another, and the shopkeeper said in a low voice: "Let me ask you, did you misappropriate a million molars and buy all the immortals to win?"

The bald man panicked, wondering which bastard would betray him, and hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Shopkeeper, Immortal Liyue's winning rate is as high as 99%. I used the casino's funds to bet purely to make more money for the gambling house!"

"Do you remember the first rule of the store?"

The bald man secretly thought something was wrong. His boss was obviously looking for trouble, so he immediately repeated the rules: "Managers of gambling houses are absolutely not allowed to participate in gambling in any form."

"You haven't forgotten! Come here, hold him down."

The shopkeeper gave an order, and several strong guards grabbed his arms and placed them on the table.

Then, the shopkeeper picked up a fruit knife and cut off one of the little fingers of the bald man. He grinned in pain and turned pale.

The shopkeeper scolded: "The gambling house industry has always been in the gray area of ​​various countries. Every manager like you is unruly. We have been eradicated by the governments of various countries. Do you know why the boss ranks this rule first?" Is it? Gambling addiction will cause managers to lose their most basic sense and judgment!"

The bald man begged: "The shopkeeper's lesson is right, I violated the rules of the store. But this opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Buy Liyue Immortal and win, and you will make a profit without losing any money. Shopkeeper, I used the money in the store One hundred million molara, and I’m betting all my family property on it, I’m sure I’ll make a lot of money this time, please believe me!”

"Haha, the moment you mentioned money just now, all you thought about was profits. Did you almost forget the pain in your fingers? You, you are so angry with me, I shouldn't have sent you to Zhi Dong . Go to the hospital to reattach the finger, and then take the boat back to Inazuma immediately to wait."

"Shopkeeper, why don't you give me a chance to prove myself?"

"Do you still need me to teach you how nine times out of ten you lose when you gamble? You have been running a gambling house with me for many years, but have you ever seen anyone consistently winning money in a gambling house? No, not one!"

The bald man looked painful: "I only bought it this time, shopkeeper."

A cool breeze blew in the room. The shopkeeper walked to the stove, closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "To tell you the truth, no one can be [-]% sure who will win in this Go game. Because, The opponent who challenges Immortal Liyue this time is the Prince of Winter. Facts have proven countless times that whoever dares to underestimate Prince of Winter will suffer big losses."

The bald man was still unconvinced: "Prince Zhidong will definitely lose this time. Even in Zhidong, not many people believe that he will create miracles. Shopkeeper, do you know? So far, only a few have been sold. The people of Zhidong bet on the prince’s victory, and the vast majority of the people of Zhidong firmly believe that the immortal can win.”

"You are still stubborn, alas. The huge bet has made you lose your ability to think calmly."

The shopkeeper wanted to reprimand him a few more words, but suddenly he felt the coldness on his body getting stronger, so he asked the person next to him: "Are the doors and windows open? It's so cold in the room!"

A subordinate went to the adjacent room to check and found that the window was wide open, and cold wind mixed with snowflakes were pouring into the room.

He clearly remembered closing the window after airing out the room in the morning, but why did he suddenly open it.

After closing the window, he found a woman wearing exquisite cotton clothes sitting on the sofa in the lounge.

"Who are you? What do you want to do when you come in through the window?"

Her petite body was wrapped in a thick cotton coat. When she heard the question, she took off the hat on her head, revealing her beautiful long hair. The most special thing was the six-winged hair ornament on her head, which was like an angel's wings.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to listen to your stories about the prince."

Chapter 158 Audience

The long-haired woman was wrapped in a slender cotton cloak, and her voice was soft and soft, which was particularly beautiful.

The staff member of the gambling house seemed to hear the clear and gentle chiming of wind chimes in his ears, and even a faint, ethereal singing voice echoed in his mind.

For a moment, he seemed to be standing by the river and heard the sound of ice melting and snow melting.

All kinds of visions showed that the woman in front of him was anything but ordinary.

He carefully looked at the woman sitting on the sofa with her legs curled up again, and made a new discovery.

Her skin was so fair that the blue blood vessels on the side of her neck could be seen.

Since the Winter Country does not see the sun all year round, people's skin is generally fair, but the skin of the woman in front of him is actually smoother than ice and snow, exuding a gleaming luster.

The strangest thing is that she is wearing a blindfold, and through the gaps in the pattern of the blindfold, her closed eyes can be vaguely seen.

The other party is a blind man who uses the window as the door to enter?

He thought of this possibility wishfully, but then he thought about it, it was impossible for a blind man to come to the gambling house alone, and he immediately became alert: "What kind of audience?"

The other party chuckled and explained: "I just heard you mention His Highness the Prince, so I came in. I'm sorry, I am His Highness's most loyal listener, and I am very interested in any topic about the Prince."

He hurriedly ran out to inform the shopkeeper and other clerks.

The pale woman came with bad intentions. She was most likely a spy from the Fools, hiding next door to eavesdrop on the gambling house.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately led people into the room.

"who are you?"

the shopkeeper asked, looking at the woman.

The dark blue cotton coat on the pale woman caught his attention.

The fabric was definitely of the highest quality, and only the nobles of the Winter Kingdom could afford to wear it. Of course, what surprised him most was not the fabric, but the snowflake pattern embroidered on the cotton coat, as well as the snowflake pattern that no one knew about. of fools logo.

"You are a fool. What do you want to do?"

"I'm here to listen to you tell the prince's story." The pale woman explained leisurely, playing with a snowball in her hand, "By the way, please don't worry, I will not report you. His Highness said that when water comes, There will be no fish in the Qing Dynasty. I will completely ban you, and there will be one less place to listen to stories in the winter. Haha, let’s leave some room for you to survive.”

The shopkeeper panicked when he heard this.

With this tone and attitude, this person's status among the fools is definitely not low. He immediately said respectfully: "Sir, I am the shopkeeper of this gambling house. I may have offended you with my little words just now. Please don't mind. Do you want to place a bet?" "

Observing words and emotions is the most basic ability for a gambling house manager. If he didn't even have this ability, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position today.

The pale woman responded cheerfully: "His Royal Highness, Prince Mai, is victorious."

"How much do you want to buy?"

"I...don't know how much is appropriate. Do you have any suggestions?"

The shopkeeper is very embarrassed.

He was sure that the other party was a middle- and high-level person in the Fools' Group, so financial resources were not an issue.

However, he could not guarantee that the Prince of the Winter Solstice would definitely win, and the recommended bet amount was too large. What if he lost and lost all his money, and the other party would find trouble in the gambling shop?

The recommended bet amount is too small. Even if you win, you won't make much money. Under the strict ban of the Winter Solstice Kingdom, a big shot like this will not easily come to the gambling house. Since he comes, he must let him taste it. Because of the sweetness, I will come to my business more often in the future.

"Sir, can 100 million molas be okay?"

"One hundred million."

The pale woman took out a passbook from Beiguo Bank: "There is [-] million on the card, please place an order."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will handle it right away."

After a while, the pale woman received the voucher issued by the gambling house and asked softly: "You just came from Daoji. Your Highness is visiting Daoji. Have you ever met him in person?"

"I saw it on the street. His Royal Highness had a discussion with General Thunder and Lightning. He pointed out the dangers of the 'Eye Hunting Order' in public. Looking back on it to this day, it is still shocking."

The pale woman asked enthusiastically: "What did His Highness say?"

"His Highness told the general that the Eye of God is the hope of ordinary people. Taking away the Eye of God is equivalent to depriving ordinary people of their hope. In addition, His Highness told the general that the authority in your hands comes from the people, not the butcher knife in your hand. After hearing this, the general stood on the roof of the castle tower and meditated continuously, and did not move for several days and nights."

"Oh, His Highness also expressed his views on the 'lockdown order'. He said that as a mere island country, natural resources are limited, and foreign trade is the foundation for prosperity. It is extremely foolish to prohibit trade with foreign countries, stay in one's ways, and refuse to develop. This conclusion , triggered a strong response in Inazuma's business community. Not long after, the general relaxed the 'eye hunting order' and the 'lockdown order', and we businessmen were the beneficiaries."

When the "lockdown order" was relaxed, he just said that he would come to winter when he came. He would not have dared to think about it before.

On the day when the Zhidong delegation left Daojiu, he went to the dock to see them off. Unexpectedly, almost all the merchants from Daojiu arrived.He has never seen merchants who usually fight for their own interests unite like this.

The pale woman's calm face finally revealed a charming smile: "Later, in order to repay His Highness's kindness, your Daozhu Chamber of Commerce raised a sum of funds and planned to build a brand new garrison for the Fools stationed there. .The preliminary plan is for ten buildings and two small buildings, enough to accommodate thousands of people."

The shopkeeper asked doubtfully: "Sir, since you know these things, why do you want to listen to me tell them again?"

“I can never get enough of His Highness’s stories.”

The shopkeeper sighed with emotion: "I understand, little one. No wonder you just said that you are His Highness's most loyal listener. I really envy you Winter people for having such a talented and strategic prince."

"Any other stories about His Highness?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and then said: "His Royal Highness humiliated Kujo Takayuki, the head of the family, Tianling Fengxue at the welcome banquet held by the society that night. That old fox, Kujo Takayuki, relied on General Raiden's favor and was used to being domineering. This He has never suffered such a big loss in his life. After His Highness the Prince left, he became seriously ill, claiming to the outside world that it was a relapse of his old illness. In fact, we all know that His Highness made him sick. Kujo Takayuki did many things that were detrimental to the interests of the people. When the people of Daoji heard about it, they all clapped their hands and cheered."

The pale woman's face suddenly turned gloomy: "His Highness humiliated Kujo's filial piety at the dinner, but in order to support Xiao Palace?"

"His Highness signed the exclusive agency rights of Zhidong Black Powder to Miss Xiaogong, and also invited Miss Xiaogong to come to Zhidong Kingdom to open a branch of a fireworks shop. By the way, sir, Miss Xiaogong is traveling on a passenger ship with me this time. "

The pale woman suddenly stood up and asked seriously: "Is that Miss Xiao Gong coming to Zhi Dong? Where is she?"

Chapter 159 Winter City

"After disembarking from the ship yesterday, I was hospitalized due to cold. Xiao Gong followed the tour group and went to an unknown place."

"Thank you for your stories."

The pale woman turned into snowflakes and disappeared into the room.

A piece of crystal snowflake, as if falling from heaven.

The shopkeeper and his waiter seemed to hear the ethereal and ancient singing again.

"Shopkeeper, who were you talking to just now?"

In the living room, the bald man asked forcefully while covering his broken little finger.
