Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

The servant was initially a bit displeased because Qi Guanshuangshuang was a very generous person, and serving her could earn a good amount of reward money. He thought he was going to hit the jackpot today, but unexpectedly, Qi Guanshuangshuang didn’t need anyone today.

He thought his silver was lost for today, but his luck turned around when Fang Miaozhen took a liking to him. The servant felt happy again, thinking he truly had financial fortune today.

Fang Miaozhen’s level of generosity was comparable to Qi Guanshuangshuang’s. Serving Miss Fang was just as rewarding without Miss Qi Guan around, so the servant quickly approached with an obsequious smile.

Fang Miaozhen liked his rosy lips and white teeth and affectionately pulled his hand. The servant fell conveniently into Fang Miaozhen’s embrace and started feeding her tea.

Boss Zhang saw Fang Miaozhen call for two servants and took advantage of the situation. He wrapped his arm around the servant next to him, sat down on a chair, and took up a dice cup, throwing the dice in.

Then he said to Qi Guanshuangshuang and Fang Miaozhen, ”The usual rules: betting on big or small. I’m the banker; you two just bet on big or small.

Today, the three of us will have some fun first, and if it feels insufficiently exciting later, I’ll call a few friends over to join us. Winning or losing isn’t important; having fun is what matters most.”

After Boss Zhang finished speaking, he began to shake the dice cup, then slapped it down on the table and said to Qi Gongsongshuangshuang and Fang Miaozhen, ”Bet on big or small, start placing your bets!”

Qi Guanshuangshuang nonchalantly threw a silver note of one thousand taels onto the table with a slap, casually saying, ”I bet big, one thousand taels.”

Qi Guanshuangshuang didn’t bother guessing whether the points were big or small. She knew she would win the first few rounds; it was the usual ploy to keep her gambling.

Seeing Qi Guanshuangshuang’s silver note on the table, Fang Miaozhen and Boss Zhang exchanged a surprised glance, both sharing the same thought: it seemed their luck was excellent today, and the God of Wealth was favoring them with riches!

In the past, Qi Guanshuangshuang would bet in increments of a hundred taels each time, playing for half a day only to make off with three or four thousand taels.

Now, Qi Guanshuangshuang was suddenly making large bets, laying down a thousand taels in one go. If they played as before, this could mean winning thirty or forty thousand taels after doubling everything.

Fang Miaozhen was excited, her face a little flushed. Although not lacking in money, having tens of thousands of taels at her disposal at one time was something she had never experienced before.

And while Boss Zhang also wasn’t short of money, nobody finds too much money undesirable, especially since his gambling house didn’t rake in a fortune daily. He had plenty of money, but maintaining powerful connections was costly.

After the initial excitement, Boss Zhang and Fang Miaozhen calmed themselves. Fang Miaozhen directly placed a silver note of one thousand taels on the gambling table: ”Since Shuangshuang placed such a big bet, I can’t back down. I match with one thousand taels, betting small.”

The silver notes Fang Miaozhen used had actually been prepared by Boss Zhang beforehand, just to urge Qi Guanshuangshuang into continuing to bet.

Boss Zhang glanced around and then pretended to open the cup, moving his hand slightly. When it was completely open, it turned out to be big.

Qi Guanshuangshuang carefreely slapped another thousand taels on the table, betting with the thousand taels she had won earlier as well: ”Still the same, bet big!”

In a short time, a few people went back and forth and played over ten rounds, experiencing wins and losses. Overall, there were more wins than losses. Qi Guanshuangshuang watched Fang Miaozhen and Boss Zhang put on a show.

These two were smart in their tactics against Qi Guanshuangshuang; they didn’t always lose to her, nor did they always win. They controlled it just right, with some wins and some losses, yet overall, it was a loss.

Often, when Qi Guanshuangshuang realized she was losing too much, three or four thousand taels had already been lost, though they never let Qi Guanshuangshuang lose everything every time.

Fang Miaozhen and Manager Zhang would play three to five rounds with Qi Guanshuangshuang, allowing her to entirely win one round using this method of losing more, winning less. This way, they kept Qi Guanshuangshuang coming back for more.

It was because they were so skillfully deceptive that Qi Guanshuangshuang hadn’t realized she was being treated like a cash cow by Fang Miaozhen and Boss Zhang.

Bet after bet, Qi Guanshuangshuang had already won seven or eight times and lost three or four times. Now, the silver notes in front of her formed a thick stack, amounting to over 44,000 taels of silver.

The reason there was so much was that today, Qi Guanshuangshuang kept playing big, changing her usual practice of betting a hundred taels at a time without stacking up the bets.

She would bet a thousand taels at a time, repeatedly stacking her winnings. Consequently, the next bet would be two thousand, then four thousand taels, then eight thousand, with the doubling speed being frighteningly quick.

Qi Guanshuangshuang stretched lazily, acting uninterested, and patted her stack of silver notes: ”Sigh, it’s no fun, I’m done playing, I want to go back.”

When Qi Guanshuangshuang said this, she thoroughly alarmed Fang Miaozhen and Manager Zhang. Because starting from the original thousand tael silver note, Qi Guanshuangshuang had only pulled out another three thousand taels afterward.

The stack of silver notes under her hand contained at least forty thousand taels won from Manager Zhang and Fang Miaozhen. If she stopped here, the two of them would suffer a significant loss today.

Fang Miaozhen was the most anxious and hurriedly smiled, saying: ”Oh no, Shuangshuang, we’ve only played a few rounds. I’m just starting to enjoy it, and you’re leaving. Aren’t you leaving your sister here by herself?

Let’s do this: play a few more rounds with me, and then I’ll accompany you for a good time, be it going to a restaurant or taking a boat ride on a flower boat, whatever you choose?”

Fang Miaozhen persuaded with kind words, and Boss Zhang provoked with language: ”Come on, Miss Qi Guan, leaving after winning without giving the sisters a chance to win back isn’t fair, at least play a few more rounds to let us try our luck.”

Hearing this, Qi Guanshuangshuang patted her silver notes again, looking at the subtle expressions exchanged between Boss Zhang and Fang Miaozhen, she replied with a faint smile:” Continuing to play isn’t out of the question.

But simply betting on big or small and stacking up the silver notes feels a bit too dull. How about we spice things up a bit?”

Boss Zhang and Fang Miaozhen exchanged glances: wasn’t stacking up the silver notes already stimulating enough? They were both overwhelmed, practically having heart attacks!

Fang Miaozhen feared Qi Guanshuangshuang wouldn’t agree, so she accommodated her: ”What kind of spice does Shuangshuang want to add? Just say it.”

Qi Guanshuangshuang crossed her arms and said with a mischievous smile: ”A new pastry shop opened in the east of Yun City, and their pea cakes are delightfully delicious.

I’ve been thinking about it for several days, let’s continue betting on big or small, and whoever loses will go buy pea cakes, how about it?”

Fang Miaozhen and Boss Zhang: ”...”

The two of them very much wanted to say to Qi Guanshuangshuang, damn it, how is this spice more exciting than stacking silver.notes!

But seeing Qi Guanshuangshuang eager to try, Fang Miaozhen and Boss Zhang could only begrudgingly touch their noses and agree.

And as expected, Qi Guanshuangshuang won again. Fang Miaozhen, looking helpless, left to harness the carriage to buy pea cakes. It was too far to go without a carriage.

After Fang Miaozhen left, Qi Guanshuangshuang looked at Boss Zhang drinking his tea and said with a light chuckle, ”Boss Zhang, shall we make a deal?”
