Vol 3 Chapter 7: Make money

Fang Linyan has carefully considered how to get money in a poor state, and has gained experience.
After resuming the operation at this time, he jumped directly from the second-floor platform and landed on the ground smoothly. Then he trot at the dock area where the ships in front of him frequented.
In less than five minutes, Fang Linyan came to the dock area, and then he stayed on a signboard:
"Big anchor bar? Well, yes, this is it."
At this time, although it has not yet reached the peak period of loading, the occupancy rate of this bar has reached at least 80%.
When he opened the loose-leaf door of the bar, Fang Linyan saw a notice from the police station next to him. He saw that the format and color should be the same as when he first entered the world. At this time, he took a closer look.
It turned out that there had been murders recently in the Whitechapel area. If someone has grasped the relevant clues or witnessed it directly, then please come to the police station to explain the situation. If the contributed information is finally confirmed to be useful for solving the case, then a person named Doolid Mr. provided a bonus of three pounds and eleven shillings for this.
Fang Linyan just swept through the matter and didn't pay attention.
Oncoming in the bar is the sound of heat and rude shouts. Several mottled copper candlesticks make the light not so dim, but the decoration on the wall is half peeled off, and the wooden floor is crunchy under the feet. It fully shows that this bar has been around for some years.
Fang Linyan twitched his nose. He was obviously uncomfortable with the smell of body odor mixed spirits in the bar. He adapted to the light and found that there was a huge anchor next to the bar. Presumably this was the origin of the bar's name.
The waterweed and kelp decoration hanging next to the bar is also quite intentional, and the dried garlic skewers are the standard feature of each bar at this time, because it is rumored that this stuff can abolish vampires and curb the plague.
Maybe Christmas is approaching, and the festive atmosphere in the bar is still quite strong. The Christmas tree is already in a corner, of course, there are no hanging gifts on it, and even the young waitresses in the bar have begun to cos the little elk with double ponytails.
At this time, guys drinking here, Jiyou 仈 Jiǔ are the decorators and crew of the dock. This rude group of guys will always have some fun while drinking two glasses, such as rushing into the short skirt of the hostess, or queen card or playing Playing dice.
Fang Linyan quickly selected his prey:
Rude man shouting at a table with his throat in his throat.
They were probably gathered together because of excitement. Several people unbuttoned their shirts, revealing their thick chest hair and sweaty chests, and were gambling with dice and playing cards.
Fang Linyan deliberately walked to the table, and stopped the shuttle hostess:
"Beautiful lady, I'm very sorry to bother you. May I have Mr. De Haring? He asked me to meet here at six o'clock in the evening, but it's six o'clock now."
The waitress looked at Fang Linyan and said lightly:
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know Mr. De Haring in your mouth."
Fang Linyan sighed, knowing that the hostess's indifference must be because of her three points of charm ....... No way, the plot characters recognized this.
To be honest, and I also want to thank the iron twigs for a little extra charm. Otherwise, I'm afraid the hostess won't even talk.
"Ah?" Fang Linyan immediately made a very frustrated expression: "Oh my god, my brother is waiting for me to take this Tahiti black pearl into gold pounds and bring it back! Mr. De Haring promised to take three Ten pounds to buy this black beauty! "
(Note: In the early days, Britain used reserve gold to make currency. The British pound had a very high gold content (close to 100%). The British empire later took back the early "gold pound" and added non-precious metals to recast it. Therefore, the British pound's gold content continued to decline in the later period. In the early days, a pound of gold was worth about one pound of gold. It is recorded in the Sherlock Holmes case that a teacher's annual salary is 30 pounds. 1 pound = 20 shillings = 240 pence. If it is roughly converted now, then one shilling It's 160 yuan, and a penny is 13 yuan.)
The hostess had no interest in Lin Yan, but the number of one hundred pounds quickly attracted her attention, because this was equivalent to her income for almost ten years, and then her eyes turned to Fang Linyan's palm. Can't help covering his mouth exaggeratedly:
"Oh my god, it's beautiful."
It turns out that in Fang Linyan's palm, there is really something similar to black pearls. It has the size of a finger, is round and transparent, and the whole body is black, full of mystery.
This is exactly the mysterious thing Fang Linyan found after he killed Xenia, possessing the attribute that the holder must fall after death. It seems that it must be a contractor who is officially recruited in the space to be eligible for identification. According to Fang Linyan's speculation, it is likely to be an unknown singular object in exchange for meritorious value, but it does not prevent Fang Linyan from using it as a fishing bait at this time.
Obviously, the dialogue between Fang Linyan and the barmaid immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the people. The drunk guys around were obviously willing to have some fun. Several people saw the "black pearl" in Fang Linyan's hands and expressed surprise. There was even a kind old man reminding Fang Linyan:
"Lady, such a valuable thing should appear on the counters of those jewellery stores on Fifth Street. If I were you, put it away immediately and leave."
Fang Linyan thanked:
"Yes, sir, I think you make a lot of sense, but Mr. De Haring has made an appointment for me to meet here."
The old man sighed and was about to speak. A fat, strong guy squeezed beside him, with a black cloth around his forehead and his furry chest hair exposed, but his nose was crooked towards the right. Second words Without saying anything, he reached for the black pearl in Fang Linyan's hand and grabbed it.
"Which raises fakes here?"
This guy defined the black pearl in Fang Linyan's hand as a "counterfeit", obviously, the idea is to grab the idea of ​​not acknowledging it afterwards.
However, this crooked-nosed man was drunk, and the response would inevitably decrease. In addition, Lin Yan's agility reached 9 points, which was almost double that of ordinary people, so how could he succeed in this catch?
As soon as Fang Linyan retracted his hand, he took the "black pearl" back and put it in his arms. He sighed with regret:
"Forget it, now that Mr. De Haring is away, I'll go."
Fang Linyan then said to the hostess:
"Beautiful lady, if Mr. De Haring is here, please tell him that I will come again at this time tomorrow and let him wait for me. If the transaction is completed, I will express my gratitude with five pounds."
After speaking, Lin Yan sighed deliberately and regretfully:
"Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be blackjack here, otherwise I can play a few more to wait for him."
When the hostess heard the five pound thank-you fee, her eyes flashed! I immediately felt that the young man in front of me became very handsome, and she immediately said without hesitation:
"How come? Sir, blackjack is the mainstream gameplay in our bar."
Before she finished speaking, she was pulled away by the crooked nose big man, and then this guy squeezed out a smile that he thought was the most friendly:
"Brother, we are about to play blackjack here. Come together."
Fang Linyan said with skeptical eyes:
"I don't like playing with the debt bureau! Cash settled on the spot?"
The crooked nose big man immediately cried out:
"Of course! I'm the famous honest Thorpe!"
As he spoke, he signaled to the men next to him to collect money, and soon he came up with about two pounds of change.
Fang Linyan nodded, then sat down with them to start the game, and put the seemingly bulging black wallet "Mr. Lannister Tyrion" next to him, alright, although it was empty inside.
Although Fang Linyan did not take out cash, the specious guy clearly wanted to win his money, and then sought the invaluable black pearl, and did not ask him to open his wallet to verify the capital.
To Thorpe and his minions, several of them played cards with Fang Linyan, who was a rookie at the first sight, and in a few minutes, he could let his crying dad leave the bar and leave the former thing.
However, Thorpe did not know that in the era of information explosion in which Fang Linyan was located, blackjack has been analyzed to the extreme!
A legendary gambler / genius mathematician Edward Thorpe started at blackjack and swept the major casinos in Las Vegas, and even made a famous mathematical model for blackjack ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ That's the Kelly formula.
This thing can quantify how much each bet in a blackjack game. When the odds are large, the bet is high, and when the odds are small, the bet is small. Las Vegas even blacklisted him.
Fang Linyan happened to play blackjack on the Internet (his secretly carrying Uncle Xu). Although he is not a mathematician, he has the calmness and wisdom to accurately remember every card played. Use Kelly's formula to perform mental arithmetic in an instant ........ It also means that at this time he is almost invincible in playing blackjack.
Time passed quickly in the win, lose or win of the gambling game. About ten minutes later, Thorpe faced each other as soon as he was working, and he could hardly believe his eyes. These people were washed by a rookie at the poker table! Even the last penny in the pants pocket was lost.
The point is that there are still many people on the sidelines, and they can't even play tricks. After all, now it's all in the public eye, if you really make a face and rely on this kind of thing, you will definitely be laughed at and preached everywhere. Once the gambling reputation is bad, then don't think about playing cards in the vicinity ... Even acquaintances can't look up.
