Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 838 - 812: Goblin

"Eh——your trick is actually quite feasible. Indeed, under such a pretext, many might be willing to volunteer to tell us what they know. Otherwise, why don’t we directly ask the Cultural Bureau of Liangshan City to organize a promotion?" Hu Yaomei said.

Tangyu replied, "You’re thinking too far. If we really did that, we’d be followed everywhere. I was just joking, let’s take our time and investigate quietly; it wouldn’t be good to go public with this."

Soon the restaurant owner brought the dishes. Tangyu ordered a bit of wine and then called the owner over, "Boss, would you like to sit down and have a drink with us?"

The owner was a bit flattered but quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, I couldn’t possibly. That’s too kind, but I appreciate the gesture. I’m still busy here."

Tangyu laughed, "Boss, the thing is, we just arrived in your Liangshan County today and aren’t very familiar with the place. We’re here on a mission and hope you could enlighten us a bit."

The owner chuckled, "Oh, I see. Well, why don’t I sit down? Ask away, and I’ll tell you everything I know."

"Thank you, boss. Here’s the thing: we are editors from Global Geography, sent here to do an issue on Liangshan County and Liangshan. Do you understand what I’m saying?" Tangyu asked.

The owner scratched his head, thought for a bit, and shook his head, "Honestly, young brother, I didn’t study much, and I don’t quite understand this Global Geography or what editing means."

Tangyu thought for a moment, "Let me put it more simply. Global Geography is a magazine that introduces unique natural landscapes and cultures around the world. Our task is to create an issue featuring your Liangshan. This way, you can buy the magazine in the future. Does that make it clearer?"

"Oh, so you want to write about our Liangshan County in a book?" the owner asked.

Tangyu nodded, "Yes, that’s about right."

The owner grinned broadly, "Haha, there’s plenty to write about. Our Liangshan County has a long history, renowned in ancient times, with many famous people, cultural relics, and native culture. And the natural landscapes are quite good too..."

Seeing that the owner was about to go on and on, Tangyu quickly interrupted, "Boss, don’t say too much all at once, we can’t remember it all. We can’t include everything either, or the magazine wouldn’t fit. What we need are unique and very strange things. The ordinary stuff won’t attract much interest."

Hu Yaomei couldn’t help but add, "Exactly, talking about history and famous people is something every place has. What we need is something unique, something other places don’t have."

"Hmm, what do you mean?" the owner was a bit confused.

Tangyu explained, "For example, are there any strange rumors about Liangshan? Any unusual celestial phenomena? These are the things we’re digging for."

"Strange rumors? There should be some, I’ve heard a few, but I’m not very familiar with them. But—these things probably don’t exist, right?" the owner contemplated.

Tangyu smiled, "Boss, whether it exists or not doesn’t matter. We need something to catch people’s attention, and that’s enough. Haha, you might not understand, but in our industry, as long as there’s a gimmick, that’s all that matters. The truth isn’t as important, it’s just a way of packaging."

The owner nodded thoughtfully, "If you’re looking for something strange, I do have someone to recommend."

Tangyu’s eyes lit up, "Who?"

The owner said, "Nicknamed the Goblin, he’s as sharp as a tack. He used to eat here a few times and told me about some strange occurrences in Liangshan his family witnessed. He even said he saw one himself as a kid. This guy knows everything going on, even whose wife slept with another man. So yeah, finding him might be reliable."

"Oh, that’s great. How can we find him?" Tangyu asked immediately.

"He’s not easy to find, but at night, he should be at ’New World Club’. If not there, then at the underground casino," the owner said.

Tangyu laughed, patting the owner’s shoulder, "Thanks, boss. If we succeed in our publication, we’ll definitely mention you in the magazine. Your place might become famous."

"Hehehe—" the owner chuckled bashfully.

Hu Yaomei glanced at the owner seductively, her voice soft and charming, "Boss, thanks. You can go back to serving now."

The owner looked almost bewitched by her seductive eyes and hurriedly escaped, frightened.

Tangyu glanced at Hu Yaomei disapprovingly, while Yaomei beamed proudly, "Seems my Charm Technique still works quite well."

"Stop being vain, hurry up and eat, we have work to do," Tangyu said.

People at nearby tables kept glancing over, and many were eager to approach. But Tangyu and his company ignored them, quickly finishing their meal and paying the bill, leaving behind a sense of disappointment.

Soon, Tangyu and Hu Yaomei arrived at ’New World Club,’ the largest venue in Liangshan County, combining a bar, KTV nightclub, and an underground casino.

The moment Hu Yaomei appeared, quite a few delinquents whistled at her.

"Bringing such a beautiful woman everywhere is really inconvenient," Tangyu remarked.

Hu Yaomei laughed proudly, "You should be happy. With me by your side, everyone looks at you with envy and jealousy wherever you go. They must be dying of envy."

"..."

As she spoke, Hu Yaomei boldly hooked her arm around Tangyu’s, showing an extremely intimate display. Naturally, this move attracted countless hostile glares, all directed at Tangyu. He felt the wave of enmity wash over him like a flood. Fortunately, these glares couldn’t kill; otherwise, Tangyu would have been dead and buried.

Tangyu couldn’t help but pinch Hu Yaomei’s slender waist, thinking that this damn fairy really wanted to lead wolves into the house. Did she really think that just because she had mended her ways, she wouldn’t do it anymore?

Keep tempting me, believe it or not, I’ll make sure you miss your period for ten months straight.

This can’t be tolerated.

The underground casino was indeed very lively. Hu Yaomei waved to a thug keeping watch. The thug immediately walked over with a lascivious grin on his face. "Hehe, beautiful. Anything I can do for you?"

Hu Yaomei glared at the thug, who immediately felt a chill down his spine and involuntarily shivered. "I’m asking you, is Goblin here?"

"Goblin?" The thug was momentarily stunned but quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, of course. That kid’s here every day. Look, the one in the blue and white striped T-shirt over there is Goblin. Miss, may I ask why you are looking for Goblin—"

Hu Yaomei impatiently waved her hand. "It’s none of your business." The thug could only walk away sulkily.

Having located their target, Tangyu and Hu Yaomei headed towards Goblin.

Goblin was a man in his early thirties, lean and monkey-like, with a shrewd look on his face. Anyone could see that he was a cunning and sly character.

Goblin was playing a traditional game of betting on dice points. A crowd surrounded the table.

"Big, big, big."

"Small, small, small."

The two groups were shouting in rhythm as if in a competition, all eyes fixated on the bowl.

"One, two, three, six points small."

The dice showed the points, and the losers cursed while the winners cheered happily.

Goblin’s luck seemed terrible; he had lost again. He looked extremely dejected and spat angrily, "Damn it, I didn’t even touch a woman yesterday, so why is my luck so bad today? Hell, losing ten rounds in a row, I just don’t believe this crap. Betting big again, let’s see if I can lose more. If I do, I’ve wasted my time tonight."

Tangyu and Hu Yaomei stood behind Goblin, unhurried. Tangyu said, "It’ll be a triple threes this time, bet on it."

"Triple threes, my ass. It’s hardly ever a triple in one night. Only someone with water in their brain bets on triple threes." Goblin was focused on the game, didn’t turn his head, and continued betting a hundred bucks on big.

The crowd placed their bets, shouting big and small. The atmosphere was thick.

"And the result, triple threes, jackpot!"

The dice revealed, and it really were triple threes.

Goblin shuddered in shock. "Holy shit, it really was triple threes? Who said triple threes just now?" Goblin turned, his gaze landing on Tangyu and Hu Yaomei. Seeing Hu Yaomei, he couldn’t help but stare in a daze, nearly drooling.

He was dumbfounded on the spot.

Tangyu waved a hand in front of Goblin’s face. Goblin snapped out of it. "Have you seen enough?"

Goblin swallowed hard and said, "Ahem, you said triple threes earlier?"

"Yes, I did. I told you to bet, but you didn’t." Tangyu said. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Damn, bro, you’re awesome. How did you know it would be triple threes?" Goblin asked in shock.

Tangyu curled his lips. "If I said I had especially good luck, would you believe me?"

"Heh, yeah right, having good luck is useless in this game. You can’t win consistently just on luck." Goblin obviously didn’t believe it.

Tangyu said, "Don’t worry about how I know, I just do."

"Crazy, don’t have time to bother with you." Goblin waved dismissively. He looked at the few dozen bucks left in his hand. This was his last bit of money. If he lost again, he’d be broke and penniless.
