The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a rapid response for the economic disaster and to produce money for his forces. He therefore created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
