Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

Chapter 37 Gambling in Floating Port

When Geralt came down from the second floor refreshed, he saw a strange atmosphere permeating the entire tavern.

Many drinkers gathered around a table, watching something quietly. They were all concentrated, without any noise from before. Although other drinkers did not stand aside to watch, their eyes always drifted to the table from time to time. Over there, they are obviously paying attention to something.

Geralt was a little curious and wanted to step forward to see what happened.

Suddenly, I heard exclamations from the drinkers onlookers, and a somewhat thick voice first let out a burst of laughter, then sighed and said:

"It was a wonderful duel, Mr. Wayne."

"The deck I spent a lot of money on carefully assembled actually lost to your common cards that can be seen everywhere."

"For me, this is a meaningful competition. It taught me to be humble, cautious, and not to underestimate anyone."

"You won these three hundred orens."

Hearing such a conversation, Geralt probably guessed what happened.

Sure enough, when the surrounding drinkers were marveling at this huge gamble, he took a few steps closer to the table and saw Wayne sitting opposite a fat businessman, with a smile on his face and humility in his tone. :

"Thank you for your bet, Mr. Levardon, you are an honest businessman, and this is a virtue to be admired."

"However, according to the rules of Gwent, as the winner, I should be able to draw a card from your deck as my reward, right?"

"Will you keep this tradition?"

Hearing this request, Rewarden twitched his lips with some pain. As a businessman who came here from the Kingdom of Nilfgaard in the south, he understood the importance of the spirit of contract and would not ruin his reputation because of trivial matters.

So he forced a smile and said loudly:

"Of course, I won't play tricks on this kind of thing, Mr. Wayne, it is my principle to do things with sincerity."

Then, as he spoke, he piled up his Gwent cards and handed them to Wayne, signaling him to draw a card at random.

Wayne was not too polite, and he took out the special hero card he had been eyeing for a long time, and then looked at the pained Levardon, and praised:

"Your character is admirable, Mr. Revarden."

"It's still early, how about we enjoy a dinner together and play a few games after the meal?"

Revarden twitched the corner of his mouth. In the previous game, he had already seen Wayne's Gwent skills and luck. He felt that he could never continue to bet with him before he had enough confidence. As a player, A businessman cannot do business that is destined to lose money.

The fat businessman shook his head pretending to be distressed, and said half-truthfully:

"Sorry, Mr. Wayne."

"In two days, I will be transporting a large amount of goods to Vizima City. Tomorrow will be very busy. Please allow me to leave now. I must keep my spirits up and cope with tomorrow's work."

Wayne nodded pretending to be regretful. He knew it was just an excuse, but he didn't force Revarden.

He took out a dozen orens from the three hundred orens he won, threw them into the hands of the bartender aside, and then shouted loudly to the surrounding drinkers:

"I had good luck today and I'm very happy."

"I'm going to buy everyone in the pub a drink and share my luck."

"But you don't need to thank me. Instead, you should thank the generous Mr. Rewarden."

Everyone howled excitedly when they heard that someone was inviting them to drink for free. Some seasoned veterans immediately offered words of praise, praising Revarden and Wayne loudly, which made the fat businessman a little stiff. His expression softened a bit.

Wayne looked at the sky and found that it was still early and the sun hadn't even set yet. The bet he had just played with Revaden was a win out of three. Even with his luck and skills, he lost one and still won a bit. difficult.

However, the proficiency of up to five points in Gwent also made him very happy. There are still many people in the tavern who can play Gwent. In his eyes, these people are all walking experience points and can help him improve Gwent. With the level of the special card, there is no way he could let it go.

After announcing the news of the dinner party, he then announced loudly:

"Everyone, I haven't fully enjoyed the gamble just now, and now I want to play a small game with everyone."

"Tonight, any friend who knows how to play Gwent can pay an Oren as a registration fee and play a game with me."

"Whoever wins can take one hundred Oren directly, and until the three hundred are won, everyone has three chances."

"Of course, the loser will follow the rules and I will draw a Gwent card as a trophy."

He glanced at some people who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, and said in a tone of anger:

"You can tell everyone in the entire floating port this news. I will stay here for about two days. This game will be valid until I leave the floating port."

………………

In the banks of Temeria, one oren can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins, and it only takes a dozen copper coins to buy a family's daily bread.

The temptation of three hundred Oren directly attracted everyone in the town who knew how to play Gwent cards.

As the news released by Wayne continued to spread, whether it was people watching the excitement or people who wanted to use an Oren to make a fortune, they all gathered in the largest tavern.

When the mayor in charge of managing the floating port heard the news, he immediately wanted to terminate the gambling game directly, but after seeing the enthusiasm of the participants with his own eyes.

He glanced at the instigator angrily, and finally gave up on such tough tactics that could easily cause riots. Instead, he chose to transfer a dozen soldiers from the military camp to maintain order in the tavern.

The atmosphere in the tavern was very lively, there was a constant stream of challengers, and the enthusiasm of the onlookers continued unabated. The gambling game went on for four hours without anyone noticing.

Geralt stood next to Wayne with a serious face, holding his steel sword and scabbard in his arms, his eyes occasionally glancing at some people in the crowd.

With his white hair, tall figure, and sharp eyes, Geralt exudes an aura that is not easy to mess with.

He watched Wayne defeat the participants who came to challenge him one after another. He looked at the increasingly lively atmosphere among the crowd and the increasing number of Oren gold coins on the table. He couldn't help but whisper to Wayne. :

"Wayne, you are too high-profile today. If you win so much money, you will definitely attract some people's prying eyes."

"We'd better be careful and don't capsize in the gutter."

When Wayne heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Geralt. He knew that White Wolf's words were very pertinent. As the saying goes, wealth should not be disclosed. This huge sum of money will definitely attract the ill will of some people with ill intentions when it is placed in the eyes of everyone.

However, in just these four hours, he defeated more than 40 Gwent players. The level of Gwent has been upgraded from level two to level three, and his luck value has increased a little.

Such a rapid improvement made him want to stop, and this unexpected big gamble also made Wayne see a good way to quickly improve his Gwent level. How could he give up so easily.

He nodded comfortingly to Geralt, and then looked at the time. It was almost late at night.

So, Wayne stood up and said to the crowd of spectators and other contestants who wanted to participate:

"Everyone, it's too late today."

“I’m also very touched by everyone’s enthusiasm.”

As he spoke, he casually pushed out seventy or eighty Orens from the coins on the table, and said to a squad leader and the tavern owner who had been standing by:

"Thank you for your enthusiasm. Since everyone thinks so highly of me, I will also be a generous host."

"Tonight, everyone present is free to dine here. Beer and barbecue are unlimited, and the expenses will be deducted from this money."

"After lunch tomorrow, after everyone has rested and refreshed, our gambling game will continue."
