Chapter 115: Teahouse on the Rock (12 yen per day, monthly ticket requested)

At the foot of Tianheng Mountain,

Xingqiu looked at the Yuhua Spear beside Wang Hao with an inexplicable sadness and anger in his eyes.

I just saw a good friend on the street.
It was just a greeting.
Obviously I didn't want to see it at all.
Why did I suffer such a great injustice?

It’s all Wang Hao’s fault. This guy is so abominable.

Xingqiu looked at Wang Hao with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to draw his sword and kill him.

However, Wang Hao did not feel it, but continued to show off.

From the power of Yuhua's oath to his own sharp spear skills,
Finally, he even showed off in front of Xingqiu.

After Wang Hao finished showing off, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

As soon as I saw Xingqiu, my goodness, his eyes turned red.

[Yes, this is what I feel when I see others catching big fish. ]

[The old man from before, please report something, please report something! ]

[Good fellow, is the fisherman so persistent? Still asking. ]

【Let me explain, this is what we fishermen do. 】

【Actually, I saw my brother getting rich, and I did the same. 】

[Good brother, you are afraid that your brother will suffer, and you are even more afraid that your brother will drive a Land Rover, right? 】

[Xingqiu is not actually such a person. It’s mainly because Wang Hao is too irritating.]

[Indeed, I support Xingqiu this time.]

[When I saw Wang Hao's face, I immediately thought of that colleague who always showed off every now and then.]

[Stop talking, I'm already getting angry.]

【…】

Looking at the bullet comments criticizing me,
Wang Hao immediately reacted and felt that he might have gone too far. How could he show off like that?

This is so rude.

Xingqiu is his good friend, how can he build his happiness on his friend's 'pain'?

In fact, both the barrage and Wang Hao himself forgot that he was just a sixteen-year-old boy, and it was not a big deal for him to show off the good things to his friends.

It’s just that Wang Hao in the past was so mature that people forgot his age.

“This, that, haha, I’m sorry Xingqiu, I’m just too excited.”

Wang Hao scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said apologetically.

Hearing this, Xingqiuhong's temperature dropped rapidly.
There's nothing he can do about it. After all, he is his good friend and Xingqiu is a kind person.

Moreover, seeing Wang Hao's awkward apology, Xingqiu felt embarrassed instead.

After all, it seemed like Wang Hao was sharing with me. Was I overreacting?
The red temperature dropped, and Xingqiu found an excuse for Wang Hao's behavior.

Xingqiu also scratched his head: "Well, maybe I overreacted."

"No, no, no, it's my fault for not considering your feelings."

"No, no, no, I overreacted. I was wrong."

The two of them kept apologizing to each other.

[What are you two doing? ]

【sweet.】

[Sweet, this nm can also be sweet. 】

[The Knock Knock Party is really outrageous. 】

[Isn't it sweet? Look at their appearance, they look like a perfect couple. ]

[I'm just annoyed by you CP fans, you really support everything. 】

[First of all, the Keke Party is not the CP Party. Secondly, there are many types of CP parties. ]

[I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I just don’t want to see you guys knocking. 】

[I’m going to knock, I ... piss you off to death. 】

【…】

The comments started arguing again.

However, Wang Hao and Xingqiu had calmed down from their anxiety.

The two smiled at each other, both feeling that they were really childish just now.

Not only childish, but also funny.

"It's all your fault. You confused me." Wang Hao was the first to complain.

Xingqiu's face turned red again: "I was just walking on the street and you grabbed me. Are you blaming me now?"

Wang Hao knew that Xingqiu was no longer truly angry, so he continued to be stubborn: "Of course, you are my friend after all. If I don't blame you, then do I blame me?"

This set of twisted logic made Xingqiu laugh, of course, it was out of anger.

"Okay, okay, that's really annoying. I was originally planning to go out and play with you. Humph, now I'm going to find Chongyun. See you later."

Xingqiu waved his sleeves and left angrily.

Wang Hao didn't chase after him, just stood there laughing.

[Still laughing! Xingqiu was pissed off by you.]

[Why don’t you chase him now? He is a true friend. 】

【Wang Hao is really too much.】

[Indeed, this is really too much. It can make the Second Young Lady angry and run away.]

【…】

The comments urged Wang Hao to chase Xingqiu.

Wang Hao smiled and shook his head: "Xingqiu is not angry."

【what? 】

[Quibbling, it was all red just now. 】

[Why leave if you're not angry? 】

The barrage of comments refuted.

"You still don't know Xingqiu well enough. He doesn't get angry that easily. At first, my show-off behavior made him angry, but after I apologized, he was no longer angry.

I left in a huff just now just to save face.

After all, he really doesn't have a weapon that can compare to Yuhua's."

Wang Hao laughed,

He and Xingqiu have lived together for more than two years, and they both know each other well enough.

Xingqiu is a person who can control his emotions very well.
He was angry at first because Wang Hao showed off the Yuhua Oath and it was too much of a shock to him.

Once he calmed down, Xingqiu's anger naturally subsided.

As for why you left in a hurry...

If I don’t leave, will I continue to watch Wang Hao show off?
So, Xingqiu left not because he was angry, but simply because he didn't want to see Wang Hao's smug look.

Moreover, Wang Hao can confirm that when Xingqiu appears in front of him next time, the dark iron sword in the opponent's hand will definitely be retired.

Yes, Xingqiu will definitely find a good weapon and then appear in front of Wang Hao.

Wang Hao and Xingqiu are friends, but there is also competition between them.

Of course, these little rivalries will not affect the friendship between the two.

Watching Xingqiu leave,

Wang Haocai gave up Yuhua's oath,
This is his lifeblood, he can't let it be exposed to the wind and sun.

Come back home.

……

August is not yet over.

It has been a week since I last met Xingqiu. I went to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to ask about it, and Ah Xu said that the second young master went to Tianheng Mountain to find Young Master Chongyun and has not returned for several days.

Wang Hao was not worried. As long as Xingqiu and Chongyun were together and didn't provoke any big guys, there would basically be no problems.

Moreover, both of them were not without life-saving items.

Therefore, Wang Hao no longer cared about Xingqiu's whereabouts.

Without Xingqiu's "disturbance", Keqing has been busy pursuing certain things recently and has not come to find Wang Hao.

Ningguang had just completed a mission, so naturally she would not continue to order Wang Hao around.

For a moment, Wang Hao was actually free.

Of course, he was not completely free. At least, without Xingqiu booking his trip, he still had to go to work in the Legal Department of the General Affairs Department.

The salary is 30,000 Mora a month.

At the end of August,
Wang Hao was reading a book in the office of the Ministry of Law.

Suddenly there was a cry at the door.

"Please help us. Those people simply want to kill us."

There was a hoarseness in the wailing cry.

Wang Hao suddenly became interested, put down the book in his hand, turned around and walked out of the office.

Then, a person dressed as a middle-aged woman was seen pulling Deacon Zhang's sleeve tightly and begging bitterly.

"How is this going?"

Wang Hao was a little curious and asked his colleague next door.

The employee of the General Affairs Department next to him was naturally also from the Legal Department, and he had been there longer than him and knew a lot of gossip.

Wang Hao has been getting along well with his colleagues recently.

After all, he has the background of Tianquan, and most people with a normal mind would not reject Wang Hao's kindness.

"Hey, this is a troublesome matter." The colleague next door sighed, "The woman's husband is a gambler..."

After listening to his colleague's explanation, Wang Hao finally understood what was going on.

The middle-aged woman's husband was originally a dock worker. Although his life was ordinary, he could still make ends meet.

But half a year ago, her husband was coaxed into a casino by some "co-workers", and things got out of control from then on.

Compared with the few morras earned through blood and sweat at the dock, the excitement of getting rich overnight in the casino directly overwhelmed the worker.

At the beginning, he was winning, betting a dozen or so Moras, and winning about a hundred Moras in one night.

But as he became more and more obsessed, he began to lose.
He lost Mora, he lost his furniture... and finally, he even lost his house.

If Liyue hadn't banned population trading, he might have even exported his wife.

After losing all his fortune and unable to pay back the casino, the worker fled overnight.

Fortunately, his wife was a sensible person and immediately sought protection from the General Affairs Department.

The General Affairs Department naturally couldn't just watch someone get forced to death.

So I asked the legal department's consultant to help me deal with it.
With the help of several consultants, we somehow found out that there was something wrong with the casino's IOU, and settled the gambling debt (the things taken away by the casino were enough to repay the principal + interest, and the gambling debt in the interest-compounding area was settled).

After settling the accounts, the middle-aged woman's life became a little more difficult, but she could still make ends meet.
By helping people wash clothes and clean, you can always earn some money to support yourself.

But the problem soon arose.

The guy who ran away overnight is back.

Not only did he come back, he also brought back a bunch of new gambling debts.

It turned out that after escaping from Liyue Harbor, he went to the wilds of Tianheng Mountain.

There, mountain people lived together, and there were also many merchants from Liyue Harbor doing business, including casinos.

……

After hearing this story, Wang Hao was speechless.

【Gamblers will not die well. 】

[Good guy, just call him good guy. 】

【It harms others and yourself. 】

[Tsk tsk tsk, I think back to when Wang Hao first started. If he hadn't converted the gambling bet into charity in time, I'm afraid Wang Hao would have to bear some bad reputation now.]

[I, Huang, have an incompatible relationship with gambling and drugs. ]

[There is no hope for this gambler, Wang Hao, you don’t want to help, do you?]

[Although I sympathize with this woman, a gambler cannot be saved.]

[Yes, there is no hope for gamblers.]

【…】

The comments were full of abuse at the gambler in this story.

Wang Hao was also silent.

He was the banker himself, setting up the gambling game, and personally harvesting the money from his classmates. He understood better than anyone else that

When gambling, you can never beat the dealer.

The so-called small investment for big success and getting rich overnight are nothing but illusions given to you by the dealer.

In fact, they are all leeks.

"I didn't intend to help them directly, but I did want to help."

Wang Hao replied to the barrage in his heart.

【What's the meaning? 】

[Don't help them, but do you still need to help them? ]

[You want to take on the casino directly? ]

[How are you going to deal with it? Go directly to Keqing and mobilize the Qianyan Army to seal it off? ]

The commentators asked one after another.

Wang Hao shook his head: "Liyue doesn't ban gambling. If we want to mobilize the Qianyan Army, we must first issue a gambling ban order from Sister Ningguang. There are many interested parties involved in the casino, and it's not that easy to deal with."

A bet... is also a contract.

Although Liyue Harbor does not encourage gambling, it has not explicitly cracked down on it.

【So what are you going to do? 】

[That's right. If you don't use the Qianyan Army, you can't just go and kill them all by yourself, right? ]

[This is a good suggestion. Kill, kill, kill, kill, it's red bean paste. ]

[Correct, I want to see a river of blood.]

【Gamblers all deserve to die, and killing them is also justice.】

Looking at the screen full of killings, Wang Hao was speechless.

"Killing people... is also against the law."

[Pah, why didn't you say that when you killed the fools? ]

[When you and Keqing killed the robbers, you didn't say anything illegal.]

[When you killed the Hill Culverts, you didn't say anything illegal. ]

[Ahem, the guy above is going too far. 】

[What? The Qiuqiu people are not human beings? Our Qiuqiu People Protection Association strongly condemns this.]

【…】

The comments seemed to strongly disagree with what Wang Hao said.

"Fools, that's because they have different standpoints. Besides, they are not Liyue people and are not protected by Liyue laws.

Robbers, that's because they were preparing to hurt us first, it was a counterattack.

The Hillocks... Sorry, I don't discriminate against any intelligent race, but the Hillocks... don't seem to be protected by Liyue's laws either."

Wang Hao explained to the barrage in a rare serious manner,

“As for why I didn’t kill those gamblers and the people who opened the casino, first of all, they are from Liyue. Secondly, they didn’t break the law. Maybe they did, but I don’t have any evidence now. Without evidence, I can’t just attack the Liyue people without any reason.”

"This is a matter of principle, not a matter of whether I want to or not."

Many times, Wang Hao would not answer the questions in the barrage in detail.

But when it comes to issues of principle and law, Wang Hao is always willing to try to persuade the barrage.

Of course, the results are usually average.

There are reasonable people in the barrage.

But compared to the people who have fun, it is still too little.

People who like to have fun are the mainstream force of barrage.

Other types of chefs and parties do not have as many fun people.

Nine out of ten people who are busy killing now are people who just want fun.

The rest may really be the killing party.

【If you don't understand, it's better to kill. 】

[Then what are you going to do? 】

[It seems that there is no way to control gambling without using tough measures. 】

[Tough measures won’t work, the best outcome for gamblers is execution.]

[It seems that everyone is dissatisfied with gamblers. ]

【Gambling is really harmful. 】

[When Wang Hao started gambling, I opposed it. Now that Wang Hao wants to crack down on gambling, I support him.]

The barrage of comments was noisy.

But Wang Hao ignored them.

He was actually thinking about something else.
The largest casino in Liyue Harbor is undoubtedly the Rock Tea House.

It is located between Liyue Feiyunpo and Chihuyan.

It has quite unique geographical advantages.
There are thugs guarding the door, and generally only familiar customers are received.

If someone who doesn’t understand approaches, he will be discouraged.

Of course, it is said that there are also some other businesses here, but I don’t know what kind of business they are.

Of course, Wang Hao thought of Yanshang Tea House, and it was not just because of the casino.
There is another point, which is that the barrage once mentioned,

In the Yanshang Teahouse, there are inscriptions with no taboos.

Moreover, the owner of Yanshang Teahouse probably doesn't even know that he has such a treasure.

It is very likely that it was collected when gambling debts were being paid.

If Wang Hao wanted to deal with the casino, then the Yanshang Tea House would undoubtedly be the best breakthrough point.
Not only can we crack down on casinos, but we can also see if there is a chance to get the Hundred Taboos Scroll.

This is what the Fatui seem to be looking for.

The Scroll of No Taboos can open up many secret realms in Liyue.

If Wang Hao can get it, does it mean that he can enter these secret realms, and then... see if there are any remnants of the devil and have a good meal?
Thinking of this, Wang Hao had already decided in his heart that he wanted to visit the Yanshang Teahouse.

I watched some more drama.

Deacon Zhang still couldn't resist the middle-aged woman and couldn't bear to refuse. He promised to send someone to check the gambling debt, but he couldn't guarantee that it could be handled.

Moreover, he began to persuade the woman to divorce her husband.

This surprised Wang Hao.

After all, these days, advising people to divorce will really make you criticized.

But in the comments, there was a lot of praise for Deacon Zhang.

This also made Wang Hao feel a different trend of thought.

evening,

after get off work,
Wang Hao went to the Law Hall to sign his leave card and left in a hurry.

Walking fast all the way,
Arriving at the entrance of Yanshang Tea House,

There is a waiter and several guards (thugs) here.

Ignoring them, Wang Hao reached out and threw a Mora bag in front of the waiter.

Then he walked in directly.

Although the waiter and the thugs felt a little unfamiliar, seeing Wang Hao seemed familiar with the place, he seemed to be a regular customer.

When Wang Hao walked in, they didn't react.

Yanshang Tea House is called a tea house, but it is actually a large casino.

It is two stories high.
The first floor was crowded with people, many of whom were casually walking around different gambling tables, placing bets from time to time, and then bursting into wailing or shouting with joy.

【Oh my goodness, Las Vegas. 】

[Don't make a fuss, they are just some leaf cards. ]

【And dice.】

[So, what is Wang Hao going to do? ]

【I think I understand a little bit. 】

【What's the meaning? 】

[Guhua Sect teaches many martial arts skills. ]

【Gambling is also one of the tricks of the underworld. 】

【…】

Ignoring the discussion in the barrage, Wang Hao glanced at an empty seat at the dice table and sat down without thinking.

"Hey, there's a new person."

The gambler opposite Wang Hao showed his yellow teeth.

Wang Hao glanced at him and said, "Where's your new horse? Do you want me to put it back under your horse? Do you want to play or not? If not, get out of here."

[Extreme bad breath, extreme enjoyment. 】

【Very aggressive Wang Hao.】

[This style of painting is not right. 】

【…】

The comments were filled with noise. This was the first time they saw Wang Hao being so... foul-mouthed.

However, they don’t hate gamblers. No matter how harshly they scold, it’s all good.

The yellow-toothed gambler on the opposite side suddenly became red-eyed and stared at Wang Hao: "Okay, okay, okay, you little bastard, I'll let you go out lying down today."

Wang Hao ignored him and looked at the others: "Should we open it or not? Is it the rule here to talk nonsense?"

The other gamblers laughed. This gambler with yellow teeth usually had a foul mouth, but now he had met his match.

"Open, open, come on, little brother. Let's make it simple. We'll just compare the size. A tenmora."

A middle-aged gambler said.
