I Have Many Life Tokens - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Gada…

“Four points…”

“Double eights.”

“I’m a double too.”

“Heh, coincidentally, I am too.”

“Seven points!”

“I’m at nine.”

“Nine points for me too.”

“Why am I always the same as you guys?”

***

In the middle of the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm, the strangest thing had occurred in 100 years, perhaps even since the opening of the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm.

In the final circle, just when the ancient dragon spirit that everyone dreamed of was within reach, the last four people left were surprisingly playing Pai Gow on a flat piece of sandstone? And the glowing dragon spirit was in the center of the stone table, acting as lighting…

Perhaps, the dragon spirit himself never thought that he would be looked down upon…

But once three games had been played, Jiang Lin had some regrets!

‘Playing Pai Gow with the protagonists?

‘Holy sh*t!

‘Am I out of my mind?’

Which one of the three people surrounding this stone was not someone who could obtain the secrets of supreme martial arts by dropping into a cave, or get a once-in-a-century supreme treasure by entering an auction house?

Why would he think of betting on luck with them?! And he was also the dealer!

All right, Jiang Lin had some wishful thinking. He had the system, after all, and wasn’t one with the system a protagonist? Weren’t antagonists also main characters? So why were antagonists not people?

However, when Jiang Lin saw that half of the spirit stones in his pockets were missing, he pulled a long face, and wanted to slap his naive self from that time!

‘God, what the hell was I thinking again?’

Weren’t the villains the ones who gave EXP and equipment to the protagonist? How could he compare with the protagonist? Had he not read enough about those lessons from those novels and dramas?!

“How about… we don’t play…”

After 10 rounds, Jiang Lin’s eyes were a little moist, and his heart was dripping blood. He was originally a poor man, and had acquired some assets in a business partnership with Fang Chaoqun…

Now… the night was still long, but how come he was back to where he had been?

“That won’t do. I just got into it. I didn’t realize Pai Gow was so much fun.” Jiang Lin taught the rules on the spot, and even looked at some of the cards for Chen Jia, who said this happily.

Lin Qingwan looked at Jiang Lin’s pleading eyes like a devil pup (to survive, devil pups were adorable when they were young, and liked to be cute to confuse their opponents) and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh lightly, having some bad intentions. “That won’t do, but Junior Brother Jiang has said that one must lose everything before one can leave the table.”

“Master has taught me since I was young that I have to do everything to the fullest, and not leave things unfinished!” said Xiao Xueli slowly, and then she slightly glanced at Jiang Li, her pretty face slightly red. “Jiang Lin, if you don’t have spirit stones, I… I can lend you some…”

Xiao Xueli had wanted to say that she could give it all to him, but Sister Sword spirit in the girl’s body kept cautioning the girl that it was imprudent if she did so, and the girl finally had to say that she would lend him some.

“Oh… so Jiang Lin the beast has no money. Why didn’t you say so earlier? Here, I’ll give you mine, as long as you can continue playing with me.”

Chen Jia also pushed a handful of spirit stones in front of her to Jiang Lin.

“No spirit stones?! How could I have no spirit stones? I’m not going to hide it from the three of you. Besides being handsome and 5’8″ tall, I only have the advantage of being rich. Come on, keep playing! I’m still the dealer!”

Xiao Xueli’s hesitant and somewhat sympathetic tone deeply stung Jiang Lin’s small pride.

Especially Chen Jia’s mocking words.

Men could do anything! But they just couldn’t say no!

So… 10 rounds later…

Sitting on the sand, when Jiang Lin quiveringly touched the tile and carefully flipped it… Instantly, Jiang Lin’s expression was like a smiling doge emoji.

“Double Teen!”

Jiang Lin slapped his tiles on the stone, and the double Teens consisted of two Teen tiles! The second-largest hand in Pai Gow.

“Eh? What’s this I have? Jiang Lin, help me look at it.”

As if ignoring Jiang Lin’s excitement, Chen Jia spread the dominoes on the stone.

“Eh? Chen Jia, we have the same tiles.”

“Me too.”

When the three pairs of supreme treasure (Pai Gow maximum points) appeared in front of Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin didn’t want to talk anymore…

Damn! Shouldn’t a deck of tiles have only one supreme treasure?! Where did the other two pairs of tiles come from… Were the dominoes he bought fake?

Jiang Lin vowed to never touch Pai Gow again in this life…

“I lose…”

Just when Jiang Lin was willing to accept his loss, and was about to pull out the last of his spirit stones from his underwear, a “ding” sounded as the system rang in Jiang Lin’s mind.

[Ding… system detects that the host is spending time with three protagonists, and all three are letting down their guard on the host, quest triggered.]

[Choose: 1. Seize the dragon spirit and anger the three protagonists. 2. In the darkness of the deserted moon, lust for their bodies and take action.]

[Please make a choice in three seconds… 3… 2… 1…]

“I choose you motherf*cker! What kind of timing is this! They want to give me the dragon spirit, even if I robbed it, so what, how would they be angry!”

Jiang Lin was devastated in his heart, looking at the countdown in his mind. Right at the last second, Jiang Lin silently wiped his tears, then punched the stone, and smashed it to pieces, picking up the spirit pearl containing the dragon spirit in one smooth motion.

Suddenly, rock fragments and dust flew everywhere.

“Jiang Lin, what’s wrong?”

“Jiang beast, what are you mad about? Do you want to fight?”

“Junior Brother Jiang?”

The three girls also got up quickly, so they didn’t get caught in the sandy waves.

“Senior Sister Lin! I am a demon sect man, and I will die a demon sect ghost. I will never go back to the Dragon Sect with you. Also, Lady Xiao, I know what you are asking for (what the hell did he know?), but I don’t want to say yes. Also, the Cosmos Matrix map is still on you, and sooner or later, I will go and get it myself, so keep it for me!”

“So, Jiang Beast, did you choose me? Go back with me?”

“Oh yes, and you Chen Jia! Sorry, I forgot about you. Although I am from the Sun Moon Sect, I don’t intend to bring the dragon spirit back to the Sun Moon Sect this time. I want to give it to a girl in the south! That’s right! It’s the one from the Great Xia Dynasty, the beauty of the Drunken Immortal Abode. I just need to give her the dragon spirit, and she will agree to spend a night with me!”

Jiang Lin leaned on his sword and shouted, looking serious, as if to spend a night with that courtesan was more important than his life.

In reality, Jiang Lin only knew of such a flourishing dynasty in Daxia[1].

If it were a dynasty, then there had to be a place of romance.

If there was a place of romance, then there had to be courtesans.

As for who it was, what the hell did it matter? He just had to create the impression that he failed their good intentions, and indulged in female lust.

As expected, after Jiang Lin spoke, their killing intent spread, and the Infamy from them kept increasing…

“Junior Brother Jiang? What’s a courtesan? What did you just say?”

“Jiang Lin, you saved me twice, I thought you were really just flirtatious on the surface, but I didn’t expect you to go so far for one night…”

“Jiang Lin! Tell me exactly! What about my breasts!”

The three girls pressed forward step by step as if Makoto[2] was about to be chopped up back in the day.

“Bastard! Beast! Pervert! Jiang Lin! Go to hell!”

Chen Jia got into a fist stance and took a step forward, her small fist at the peak of her fist intent hammering directly towards Jiang Lin’s chest.

Jiang Lin subconsciously blocked with the spirit pearl…

“Gada…”

It was as if the sound of a broken egg slowly emitted from Jiang Lin’s chest.
