Episode 74 King of Non-Music Gambling 1
I looked at the Bimu gamblers while drinking Dougangju.
‘These conscienceless bastards.’
The guy who hasn’t yet predicted victory or defeat must have asked me where I came from. It is normal to pay money to ask about things like origin, clan, military skills, etc., as they are all factors that can predict victory or defeat.
As I ignored the question and drank the tofu wine, a new customer asked Jeomsoy something and then came straight to me.
“You need to come outside.”
“Drink this and leave.”
“Drink and get up quickly.”
I lifted the tougangju and poured the rest of the liquor down my throat. As the tofu poured out, the liquor splashed all over the place. After a long time, I visited the Bimou gambling house and drank alcohol, and I felt like my heart was being refreshed.
I wiped the alcohol from my mouth with the back of my hand.
“let’s go.”
I followed the guy who urged me to come out and hit him on the back of the head with a bottle of alcohol.
The guy fainted with a thud sound.
The guys who had bet on me all shouted, applauded, and cheered.
After easily dealing with one guy, I went out of the guest room. Since Chang Gwan-ju of Heukyeong had already brought in the beggars, quite a few onlookers had gathered.
I asked Heukyeong, whose face was a mess.
“Are your hands bare?”
As Heukgyeong looked left and right, about a dozen people laid down their weapons on the ground.
Heukyeong said.
“Yes, bare hands.”
Heukyeong turned his shoulders sharply and spoke to his colleagues.
“Let’s kill him halfway.”
***
As I walked to the center, grinning, about a dozen people rushed towards me without even declaring the start of battle.
I ran forward and kicked the first guy who approached me in the chest.
With a thud sound, one of the guys stretched out in a straight line and crashed into the bystanders, unable to get up.
I responded without using any of my skills.
He struck the top of someone’s head with the blade of his hand, grabbed the arm that appeared in front of him and broke it, and stabbed the opponent’s eyeball on his right with his index and middle fingers.
Without even knowing who was who, they just attacked whatever they saw. He broke one guy’s nose with his fist, then turned around and hit the approaching guy in the face with a mid-air roundhouse kick.
At that moment, the guy I had kicked ran towards me while holding onto the knife lying on the ground.
“Hehehe.”
They say let’s fight with our bare hands and it’s like this.
I dodged the knife he held out and then bent my arm in the opposite direction.
“Kwaaaak!”
As the guy retreated while holding on to his shaky arm, the guys that had been spread out in a circle narrowed the square and rushed at him all at once.
This is not a fight that can be won by sloppy guys using their brains.
Because I am not the person I used to be.
He easily dodged the punches and kicks thrown by the men, who were worse than the underlings of the Black Cat Room, and ended the fight by accurately breaking one more arm.
There was no dust on it, but I just shook my hand off.
“Is this the end?”
Jeomsoi looked at Heukyeong and the others and nodded.
“Yes, this is the end.”
Jumsoi Daily came with a table and basket and started distributing dividends.
Jumsoi risked his life to give out money because playing with dividends would ruin the restaurant.
Gamblers also lined up in a very orderly manner and then received their payouts. Most of them received a fair share of the 500 nyang invested in the guest house and the funds of those who lost, but everyone was happy because earning this much was enough to pay for the drinks for the day.
“I earned pocket money.”
“Let’s have another drink.”
As I listened to the gamblers, I looked at my share of what was left in the basket.
He said as he removed a corner with his hand blade.
“Give it to the Black Mirror.”
“yes.”
Among the remaining items, he took out two silver coins and handed them to Ilbo.
“You did a good job too.”
Ilbo’s face brightened.
“thank you.”
“Give me the rest.”
Ilbo took out a wrapping cloth from his belt and swept up the victory dividend. In no time, the cloth became heavy. The structure of gambling here is that the winner takes most of the money. Since most of them wore silver coins one by one, it was quite a good amount of money.
Ilbo asked me with a smile.
“I guess you came here to earn some pocket money. Sometimes there are experts like that. Where are you came from?”
“Pay money and ask. “One hermit.”
Ilbo said with a shy smile.
“I was just asking. thank you.”
The Ilbo continued to interfere.
“If you have that level of skill, you can fight in a fighting battle.”
“Who has the biggest combat bounty right now?”
“This is the undefeated Dong Bang-yeon. But if you want to attack me, you have to bring at least 10,000 nyang with me before I can deal with you.”
I grinned.
“I see.”

The partner that I couldn’t even dream of in the past is Dong Bang-yeon.
He is also a man called the king of non-martial arts gambling. Even if we combined some of the funds that Muakmunju had given us and the money we had just earned from guest house Bimu, it did not amount to 10,000 nyang.
It is true that I came to settle the past, but I did not come to waste time here like other gamblers.
If I fill 10,000 nyang and meet the king of non-martial arts gambling, my schedule will end neatly.
I carried the bundle of money on my shoulder and went to the next gambling house.
***
There were people sitting in a row in front of the wall doing battle with weapons. Everyone was sharpening their weapons on the whetstone like crazy people.
The world is full of crazy people like this.
Simply put, this was a waiting area for gamblers who could win by hitting the weapons and breaking them.
There are shabby guys at the entrance, and in the center of the arched wall is a guy with the sharpest weapon.
I looked across the center to see a gray-haired gambler carrying a bundle full of money. When I saw myself in my previous life, even my eyebrows were white, but now my eyebrows are not completely white. As before, he wore an ivory necklace on his chest that was said to be difficult to find.
Gu Jong-ak, the leader of the Weapon Gamblers, looked at me and said.
“Are you up for a challenge?”
I gave a simple answer to Gu Jong-ak, whom I hadn’t seen in a while.
“yes.”
“The match fee is a bit expensive for me. How much did you bring? “I guess it’s coming down.”
I placed the cloth on the board. Gu Jong-Ye looked inside the cloth and lifted it gently with his hand.
Gu Jong-ak was still as expressionless as ever.
“Can we do an exact one-on-one transaction?”
“Of course.”
After taking out the jeon pouch, I added Geumja and Eunja into the wrapping cloth. Then Gu Jong-ak’s eyes slightly wavered.
“Aren’t you overdoing it?”
When I brought in a large sum of money, which was rare these days, the other weapon gamblers all looked at us.
I answered simply.
“If you feel scared, step away. I want to sit in a famous place too. “I never thought the king of weapon gambling would be this scared.”
Gu Jong-Ak raised his head and glared at me.
“I have no idea where this guy came from. “I don’t think it’s Baekdo or Sega.”
Gu Jong-ak said while looking around.
“If anyone knows this guy, I’ll give him a piece of gold.”
Everyone answered in unison.
“I do not know.”
I told Gu Jong-ak.
“No one here knows me.”
“why?”
“It’s my first time here.”
Gu Jong-ak folded his arms and looked at me blankly.
“Do you know how?”
“Please explain.”
“Once on offense, once on defense. If it breaks before that, victory or defeat is decided. If there is a draw, proceed again. You can also raise more money in the middle. If you hurt your opponent, the gamblers here will gather and stab you one by one. “Do you agree?”
“I agree.”
Gu Jong-ak pointed to the place where the military flag was laid down.
“Put down your weapons first.”
“You can’t do that. Let’s hold on and compete. It’s true that it’s my first time here, but I guess I didn’t do any research. They’re trying to commit a scam that doesn’t work. “Old man, do you think I look like an idiot because you speak sweetly?”
Gu Jong-ak smiled.
When a gambler laughs, he or she often loses his or her composure.
Gu Jong-ak said.
“Young man, if you hold on to a weapon and fight against it, you are bound to get internal injuries. I was trying to protect you. “Isn’t your life more important than weapons or money?”
I picked out the black cat and held it out to the middle.
“Old man, let’s stop talking and compete. “I will give up who goes first.”
The defense stands still with the military flag raised, and the offense swings the military flag. If there is no winner, the process is reversed.
Although it seems to be a battle of weapons and weapons, it is actually a battle of internal skills as well.
The reason why Gu Jong-ak continued to be the king of weapon gambling is because his sword was hard and sharp, but in fact, his internal skills were solid, so he was in power for a long time. Gu Jong-Ak was the old man who had not lost at weapons gambling until I left this non-martial arts gambling hall.
Gu Jong-Ak sighed briefly, walked to the wall, and looked at the weapons he had collected. Naturally, he would draw his weapon while looking at his opponent to protect the blade, but this time he did not hesitate to draw the sword on the far right.
Gu Jong-ak said.
“I will deal with you with the Hyeoncheon Sword. If the sword flies, innocent people may get hurt, so hold on tight. Are you ready?”
I glared at Gu Jong-Ak while holding the black cat with one hand.
“I’m ready.”
Gu Jong-ak clicked his tongue.
“Speak informally… “A rotten bastard.”
I grinned. In weapon gambling, the moment is important. There are many cases where people clash their weapons when they are out of breath while talking to each other. I knew all the rules of this place, so there was no way I would be fooled.
Gu Jong-Ak looked at Black Cat while holding the Hyeoncheon Sword.
I have injected the energy of the wood world into the black cat. Of course, there was no sign of energy forming on the blade.
Gu Jong-Ak took a quick glance at me, swung his Hyeoncheon Sword, and struck the center of the black cat. I saw that Gu Jong-Ak was cleverly trying to hit the back of his sword and twisted his wrist.
Gu Jong-Ak’s Hyeoncheon Sword bounced with a sound.
Gu Jong-ak said with a confused expression.
“Well, now it’s your attack.”
This time, Gu Jong-Ak held out his sword to the middle of the sword and, as was his old habit, played with the ivory on his necklace.
Out of frustration, I once again reminded Gu Jong-ak of the rules of gambling.
“Old man, if you hurt someone, you will be stabbed by those here.”
“Know.”
“I mean, be careful.”
“what… … .”
When Gu Jong-ak responded in confusion, I swung the black cat. The injecting power has changed from the wood world to the salt world. When Gu Jong-Ak broke his wrist, I also broke my wrist.
Cheek!
The moment the blade of the Hyeoncheon Sword breaks… … !
Gu Jong-ak flicked the ivory he was fiddling with with his left hand using the tanji technique. The ivory that broke off his necklace rushed towards my neck.
I sent the ivory flying with a similar technique, Mokgye Tanjigong, and then launched the black cat in a straight line and drove it into Gu Jong-ak’s chest.
“Ugh!”
With a loud sound, the blood-soaked black cat escaped. I didn’t intentionally stab the black cat too deeply.
I looked at Gu Jong-ak, who was clutching his chest with a haggard expression.
“How dare you ambush me? Damn old man.”
Gu Jong-ak opened his mouth.
“fat… … .”
I grabbed Koo Jong-ak’s face with my hands and threw him to the floor in the center. With a thud, Gujongak rolled on the floor.
I said as I took out a gold bar from the gambling money box that Gu Jong-ak kept.
“What are you doing? You bastards, the rule here is that if you hurt someone, you’ll be stabbed with a knife. Who attacked first? “If you had eyes, everyone would have seen it.”
I looked at the armory gamblers who were watching while throwing gold bars one by one into the wrapping cloth. Everyone was quietly watching the situation, perhaps because they were afraid of Gu Jong-ak.
I smiled heartily and continued picking out gold bars.
“Anyway, you idiots… … .”
Gu Jong-ak, who was still alive, asked for help from those around him. He kept calling people names, trying to bargain, and offering to share his wealth. I hummed and put the gold bars in a wrapping cloth.
“How great would it be if we just had a fair fight?”
At this time, the weapon gambler at the end stood up holding his sword and plunged it into Gu Jong-ak’s squirming leg. Screams and swearing erupted at the same time.
As I moved my money, I observed the rules of the armory gamblers.
“Aren’t the rules made to be followed?”
The weapon gamblers stood up with their respective weapons and stabbed each weapon into the body of the man who had reigned as the king of weapon gambling for a long time.
Hook, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff… … .
Gu Jong-ak’s screams were no longer heard.
I woke up after stuffing all of Gujongak’s gold bars into a wrapping cloth. After clapping our hands a few times, we said goodbye to the shivering beggars.
“Have a good time. “You gambling addicts.”
As I moved past Gu Jong-Ak’s corpse, several people glared at me with murderous intent. I reacted immediately and turned around and opened the mouth.
“You wanna die?”
In an instant, life disappeared and everyone returned to their original places. I also took a step back.
“That’s right. This is how they are, good gamblers. You idiots… … .”
In any case, this is how the gambling funds to challenge the king of non-martial arts gambling were raised.
