Wu Shattered Star River
#156 - Chapter 156: Endure Humiliation
The group settled down in Starsea City, first wandering around for two days to broaden their horizons and knowledge.
Zuo Yiyi and the others even bought a lot of clothes, for both men and women, as they disliked Jiang Han's ill-fitting attire.
Jiang Han and Jiang Lang mainly explored the gambling dens, while also investigating the forces behind them.
In addition, the two went to the nearby Dark City, a Gold-ranked Dark City, and toured the gambling dens there.
Starsea City is indeed worthy of being the largest city on the edge of the Chaotic Starsea; an entire street within the city is filled with gambling dens, numbering hundreds, large and small.
There are many gambling dens in the nearby Dark City, filled with an alarming number of gamblers. Some raw stones are priced at over a hundred million, causing Jiang Han and Jiang Lang to secretly click their tongues in amazement.
Three days later!
Jiang Han and Jiang Lang had gathered almost all the information they needed. They selected a merchant guild's warship that could directly reach Flying Immortal Island in a relatively short time, only two months.
The shorter the sailing time in the Chaotic Starsea, the lower the chance of encountering danger.
Regarding the gambling dens, the two had also selected ten: five in the Dark City and five in Starsea City. They planned to finish everything in one day and leave.
These ten gambling dens were all large ones, so making off with sixty million Xuan stones from each would be inconspicuous.
Many people try their luck in these large gambling dens every day, and it's common to unearth good fortunes worth hundreds of millions.
This wasn't Yun Province; the Jiang family couldn't protect Jiang Lang and Jiang Han, so the two had to be extra cautious.
On the fourth day, the two took Qi Bing, Zuo Yiyi, and Xiong Jingjing out with them. The reason for bringing the three was to facilitate their actions.
Jiang Han and Jiang Lang had agreed that Jiang Han would select the stones, and then everyone would buy them separately.
Each person would try their luck with a few, earning a little bit. That tens of millions would be easily obtained, without attracting the attention of the gambling dens or other customers.
Jiang Lang gave Qi Bing and the other two a bottle of pills that could change their voices, making them androgynous so they wouldn't stand out too much.
They first went to the Dark City and separated after arriving. After wandering around, the six of them entered a large gambling den one after another. Jiang Han went in first, starting to wander around and pick stones.
As before, Jiang Han chose small stones. He didn't choose the cheap ones but rather stones worth over a million.
It was normal for a million-stone raw stone to yield goods worth several million, increasing its value several times over, so it wouldn't attract attention.
Jiang Lang and the others wandered around inside, passing by Jiang Han from time to time.
Jiang Han would examine the stones. If a stone was suitable, he would hold it and look at it repeatedly. According to their agreement, if Jiang Han looked at a stone for half an incense stick's time, it meant there were goods inside.
After wandering around the gambling den for half an hour, Jiang Lang, Qi Bing, Zuo Yiyi, and Xiong Jingjing made their moves, while Jiang Han himself didn't buy any stones.
The four of them spent over ten million Xuan stones together, buying several stones each.
Without any surprises!
The stones bought by Jiang Lang and the others all contained treasures, increasing their value considerably. The four of them easily earned over seventy million Xuan stones, attracting envy and jealousy from many nearby customers.
Jiang Han left early and went to the second gambling den.
Jiang Lang and the four others left separately, went to a pre-arranged inn to change clothes and masks to alter their appearances. Then, they took turns entering the second gambling den and continued buying stones.
Half an hour later, the group earned over sixty million Xuan stones and left the second gambling den.
The third, fourth, fifth…
In just one morning, the group had obtained over three hundred million Xuan stones.
After teleporting back to Starsea City, Zuo Yiyi, Xiong Jingjing, and Qi Bing all felt like they were dreaming.
If the Divine Ruins Palace's warship was robbing people, the three felt that Jiang Han was simply picking up money.
Although the three of them came from good backgrounds and had never lacked Xuan stones, Xuan materials, or pills since childhood, several hundred million Xuan stones were still astronomical figures to them.
Now, Jiang Han had brought them to obtain it in half a day, and most importantly—this was still with Jiang Han being cautious and not going all out. Otherwise, they could have earned tens of billions in one morning!
The group separated and returned to the inn. As soon as she entered, Zuo Yiyi excitedly patted Jiang Han on the shoulder, happily saying, "Little Han Han, you're too awesome! It's so much fun doing it this way!"
"…"
Three invisible black lines appeared on Jiang Han's forehead. He looked towards Qi Bing. Qi Bing's face couldn't be seen behind her mask, but her eyes were somewhat evasive.
Xiong Jingjing turned her head away, and Jiang Lang grinned and said, "Yeah, Brother Han is amazing. Look, he's even made Pingping feel like she's in heaven."
"What 'in heaven'?"
Zuo Yiyi blinked blankly, then realized what he meant and exploded, grabbing Jiang Lang's head and pummeling him: "You dead fatty, you're going to die! How dare you say such a thing? I'll tear your mouth apart."
"Alright!"
Jiang Han sighed helplessly and said, "Hurry up and seize the time. Delay breeds trouble. Act according to the plan."
Jiang Han changed his clothes and left first. Zuo Yiyi and Jiang Lang messed around for a while before leaving one after another, leaving only Niu Meng alone in the inn.
Niu Meng scratched his head and muttered, "Why didn't they take me? What did I do wrong?"
The group entered Starsea City's gambling dens again, starting to frantically gather Xuan stones according to the original plan.
More than two hours later, the group had earned over two hundred million more, leaving only the last gambling den.
Jiang Han was still the first to enter the gambling den. He discreetly began to select stones, and after a moment, Zuo Yiyi and the others entered one after another.
The group wandered around, their gazes occasionally turning towards Jiang Han, waiting for him to select the stones.
After a while, Xiong Jingjing suddenly walked up to Zuo Yiyi, bumped her shoulder, and gestured with her eyes towards a small hall on the left.
Zuo Yiyi looked up, and when she clearly saw the faces of two of the four people walking into the small hall, her eyes suddenly widened.
A murderous aura surged from her body, and she subconsciously shouted, "Yun Fei? Lu Heng?"
Four people walked into the small hall, two men and two women. The two women looked quite old, with faint crow's feet at the corners of their eyes.
One of the women was short and fat, while the other had a large frame and thick waist. However, they were adorned with jewels and looked like wealthy ladies from their attire.
Beside the two wealthy ladies were two handsome young men with fair skin, who were none other than Yun Fei and Lu Heng, who had been missing for some time.
Yun Fei and Lu Heng had previously been in the Heavenly Wolf Hall, but later disappeared. Zuo Yiyi had thought that the two had run off to some small, insignificant town to hide and eke out a living.
But she never expected to meet them in Starsea City, hundreds of millions of miles away from Yunmeng City?
At first, Zuo Yiyi thought she had mistaken them for someone else, but after taking a closer look, she confirmed that it was indeed them, and couldn't help but shout out.
"Eh?"
Yun Fei and Lu Heng heard someone calling their names and instinctively looked over. When they saw Zuo Yiyi, they felt that her voice and appearance were unfamiliar.
However, after Yun Fei and Zuo Yiyi exchanged a few glances, seeing Zuo Yiyi's murderous gaze, he vaguely felt that she looked familiar and asked uncertainly, "Zuo Yiyi?"
Zuo Yiyi clenched her fists tightly, her murderous aura growing even stronger, and charged towards Yun Fei with her fists raised.
Zuo Yiyi hated Yun Fei to the core. She had almost been killed by him back then, and the blood feud of Hu Liudao had not yet been avenged. Lu Heng had even almost helped the Heavenly Wolf Hall trick their way into Dragonfall City. Both of them were traitors.
Jiang Han's figure flashed and appeared in front of her, grabbing Zuo Yiyi.
His gaze swept over Yun Fei and Lu Heng, finally landing on the two women beside them.
"High-level Mountain Sea Realm!"
His brows furrowed slightly. How did Yun Fei and Lu Heng get mixed up with two middle-aged women who were at the high-level Mountain Sea Realm?
Could it be that the two had run out of Xuan stones and had no choice but to endure humiliation?
