Su Luo smiled as she looked at Jiang Muxue, having won another big hand. "Xiao Xue, I won again. Am I amazing?!"
Jiang Muxue was truly impressed by Su Luo. The usually gentle and refined him couldn't stop smiling. "Amazing, amazing! Luoluo is the smartest girl I've ever met!"
His heart couldn't help but race again.
How wonderful it would be to be with such an intelligent and charming girl forever.
Su Luo smilingly urged the dealer, "Hurry up with the money. What are you waiting for? Can't the Ruyi Pavilion afford this little sum?"
Serves them right. The Ruyi Pavilion always cheated people, and today they were going to be cheated by her.
"N-no... Please, everyone, stay calm." The dealer's expression was as grim as if his parents had died. He quickly tried to appease everyone. He had already guessed what was happening and secretly instructed a maid to hurry and report it.
Occasionally, casinos encountered gamblers like Su Luo who saw through their tricks and could even 'cause trouble.' But as long as the owner appeared, the problem could be solved in two or three moves.
In no time, a voice came from behind Su Luo. "This young lady is truly skilled. I am most impressed."
Su Luo turned to see a burly man with several thugs. He looked like the head of the casino's enforcers.
She said indifferently, "What business do you have, sir?"
The Ruyi Pavilion's tricks were coming again.
Guests who won large sums of money were treated differently by the casino. How could they be allowed to walk away with their winnings so easily?
The burly man cast a cold, sidelong glance at the dealer, then looked at Su Luo with a smile. "It's like this, our owner invites the young lady to a private room on the third floor for a more thrilling gamble. I wonder if the young lady dares?"
Jiang Muxue also sensed something was amiss and immediately said, "No need, we've had enough..."
"Xiao Xue, what's the hurry?"
Su Luo gave Jiang Muxue a knowing glance and then asked curiously, "I didn't expect the Ruyi Pavilion to have other more thrilling games. What are they like? Are they fun?"
The burly man made a gesture to invite them. "The young lady will know when she goes."
Su Luo was not afraid, knowing that even if the Ruyi Pavilion tried to cheat, with her Divine Eye, she could see through everything and would never lose. If they refused to pay, she wouldn't back down.
"I can go, but shouldn't you settle the previous account first?"
"Someone, give this young lady her money." The burly man maintained his smile, but a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Soon, all of Su Luo's chips were exchanged for spirit coins, totaling twenty-four million.
"Xiao Xue, let's go. Let's go upstairs and see what kind of gamble is even more thrilling." Su Luo smiled with satisfaction. Since the Ruyi Pavilion was delivering itself to her, she wouldn't be polite.
Soon, the two followed the burly man up to the third floor.
The elegant and spacious private room didn't look like a gambling den at all, but rather like a leisurely teahouse.
There were already several people here, both men and women, seemingly gamblers like Su Luo. They were seated around a black square table, facing a young man in a blue shirt who was smiling and talking to everyone.
The burly man walked over and said to the man in the blue shirt, "Young Master, the guests have arrived."
The man in the blue shirt looked at Su Luo and Jiang Muxue and smiled, "A pleasure meeting you. Young lady, you are truly formidable. It's been a long time since our Ruyi Pavilion encountered a master like you."
As soon as he said this, everyone turned to look at Su Luo, their expressions varied.
Su Luo said indifferently, "Are you the owner of the Ruyi Pavilion?"
The man in the blue shirt smiled, "Indeed. I am Sun Yue'an, the young master of the Ruyi Pavilion. I see the young lady has such good luck today, so I invited her to participate in a more thrilling form of gambling unique to our Ruyi Pavilion. I wonder if the young lady has the courage?"
Su Luo and Jiang Muxue sat down in the remaining two empty seats, and Su Luo said with a smile, "If I didn't have the courage, I wouldn't have come. Tell me, how is it played?"
At this moment, a young gentleman in white, who seemed to have some status, said with a cold face, "Young Master Sun, you said it would be more fun with more people, and now two more have arrived. Can we begin? I'm here to win money and have no interest in wasting time."
A beautiful woman in red also smiled and said, "Yes, we've been waiting for so long. Young Master Sun, you should clarify what exactly you have in mind with the Ruyi Pavilion."
"Yes, no matter how we gamble, or how thrilling it is, we will see it through to the end," others also shouted loudly.
Sun Yue'an glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Please, everyone, stay calm. We will begin now."
As he spoke, he lightly tapped the black table. Instantly, a white spiritual light spread out like ripples, and a strange pattern quickly appeared on the tabletop.
"What is this?" everyone looked curiously.
The gentleman in white also became serious, looking at the pattern on the tabletop with confusion. "Young Master Sun, what is going on? How do we play?"
Su Luo glanced at it. The tabletop was divided into thirty-six squares.
Some squares only had numbers, some were marked with one million, three million, and so on. Others were marked with a severed arm, a broken leg, drawn bloodily and terrifyingly. There was even a square marked with a skull, which conjured up all sorts of imaginations and sent shivers down one's spine.
But the last, thirty-sixth square, was marked with 'one hundred million spirit coins,' which was also full of temptation.
Sun Yue'an pointed to the tabletop divided into squares and explained, "Everyone, please look. This gambling method is called 'One Roll Decides Destiny.' It uses six dice. The minimum is six points, and the maximum is thirty-six points. Whatever point total you roll determines the outcome."
Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in exclamations.
"Young Master Sun, this gambling method is a bit too cruel, isn't it?"
A man in his thirties stood up, his face grim. "We came to the Ruyi Pavilion to gamble, not to lose our limbs. If we roll into these squares with severed arms or legs, are we really going to have our hands and feet cut off?"
"Yes, this is too terrifying."
"There's a skull too. Does rolling that mean immediate death?"
Seeing the crowd in an uproar, their faces filled with fear, Sun Yue'an smiled slightly and said to the man with the cold face, "Captain Zhang, you are the captain of the Iron Blood mercenary group. Can't you even afford to gamble this much? I said long ago that the games here are more thrilling and the winnings are greater. Since you all dared to come, why fear?"
The man with the cold face paused, hesitating.
"I'll say this upfront, if anyone is scared and dares not to gamble, then leave quickly. I won't force you to stay. If you want to win big money but are afraid of taking risks, hehe... there's no such thing in the world."
After provoking them, Sun Yue'an changed his tone and smiled at everyone again. "Everyone is a regular customer of our Ruyi Pavilion. You usually win a lot, and your judgment and luck are very good. That's why I specifically invited all of you. Have you lost confidence in yourselves?"
After a moment of silence, some people were indeed swayed, unable to resist the desire for wealth.
"Young Master Sun is right. How can you get rich without taking risks? Captain Zhang, when you lead your team to hunt demonic beasts, don't you also face the possibility of death? What, are you scared of a few dice!"
"Hmph, who says I'm scared? Let's gamble!" The man with the cold face, indeed unable to withstand the provocation and temptation, sat back down.
The others murmured amongst themselves, but not a single one left.
Jiang Muxue frowned slightly and said to Su Luo, "Luoluo, this seems too dangerous?"
