Chapter 230.1: Life and Death Casino (2)

  Although only a few viewers had just entered the livestream room, they were all shocked because this player was indeed excessively beautiful.

Not only was such beauty rare in the infinite horror game, but it was also rare in reality and other games.

Just as the viewers were about to follow the player, someone noticed something odd.

[Strange, why is this player a bit different from other players? The other players have just arrived at the casino and are still getting familiar with the situation. How come he has already started playing? And while other players have a starting amount of 1,000 coins, he has zero?]

[He is really quick. I guess he came straight to gambling as soon as he entered the instance. He’s holding a gun. Could it be that he’s playing Russian roulette right off the bat?]

[This is a bit thrilling, starting right off with a life-and-death situation.]

The viewers who were initially planning to follow the player decided to observe a bit more. After all, if he died at the start, there wouldn’t be any point in following him.

After all, in the infinite horror game, it’s not just about being faster than other players.

The staff member, seeing that Ruan Qing hadn’t moved for a long time, showed Ruan Qing a standard smile. “Are you planning to forfeit?”

The staff member’s smile was textbook-perfect, which made it somewhat uncomfortable to look at.

It seemed like they were mimicking a human smile but without human emotions, not knowing what kind of smile was appropriate for the moment.

So it looked a bit eerie.

“I’ve had terrible luck recently. I lost all my coins in just three days.” Ruan Qing spoke calmly and indifferently, without the slightest hint of fear in his tone.

It was hard to discern any emotion from his voice.

He even kept his head down, so his facial expression was unclear.

As Ruan Qing spoke, he played with the gun in his hand, ejecting the cylinder.

Indeed, the bullet was in the first chamber.

Since the cylinder was facing Ruan Qing, and he seemed to be casually spinning it, no one noticed that the bullet was in the first chamber.

Even the viewers in the livestream room didn’t see it clearly.

Ruan Qing, with his head down, continued to fiddle with the gun and spoke again, “Honestly, that hundred coins is my last bit of money. If I lose it, I won’t even have money to eat.”

“Nor would I have money to pay the detention fee.”

Ruan Qing never looked up, just kept spinning the cylinder as if he found it amusing. He would lock the cylinder back after a spin or give it another spin just before it stopped.

While talking like this, he kept fiddling with it repeatedly, with a bit of casualness.

No one could see that he was actually trying, trying to figure out how much force was needed to make the bullet land where he wanted it to.

It was probably because no one had ever been able to precisely control the force, nor accurately calculate the force and timing.

After all, if the force was slightly too much or too little, or if the timing of closing the cylinder was slightly earlier or later, the results would be completely different.

Moreover, the gun had friction.

Trying to manually control the bullet was definitely not easy, so everyone present thought that Ruan Qing was just casually playing with the gun.

Even the viewers in the live stream were no exception; no one thought in that direction.

The staff member wasn’t too surprised after hearing Ruan Qing’s words; such situations happened every day in the Life and Death Casino.

He looked at Ruan Qing and politely said, “You won’t be without gold coins to eat; you can also choose to exchange valuable items with the staff.”

“For example, your... body.”

As the staff member spoke, his gaze lingered on Ruan Qing’s body for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly, and his smile becoming more sincere, “You can also come to me. I can offer you a higher price.”

“Absolutely higher than anyone else’s.”

The staff member’s tone suddenly sounded a bit like a salesperson’s, because he suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was more dazzling than before.

It was as if the favorite food had been enhanced with the most beloved ingredient.

The deliciousness penetrated deep into the soul.

He wanted the young man.

The staff member’s throat moved slightly, and his heartbeat sped up a bit.

He was even somewhat impatient for the young man to pawn himself.

But they couldn’t force the gamblers in the Life and Death Casino; all pawning had to be based on the gambler’s voluntary decision.

The Life and Death Casino respected every gambler.

The staff member could only suppress the inappropriate thoughts, trying hard to make himself appear more friendly.

Humans seemed to like friendly people the most.

Ruan Qing seemed as if he hadn’t heard the staff member’s words, nor did he look at him. Instead, he applied a bit of force to his hand, turned the gun once, and then poured the bullets inside into his palm.

The staff member’s eyes lit up with deeper pleasure as he smiled again and said, “Are you sure you want to...”

However, before the staff member could finish his sentence, he saw the young man in front of him look up and smile at him.

“So, can I change the number of bullets?” the young man asked. “I want to bet on two bullets.”

Not firing the gun and opening the cylinder was considered a loss, but there was one exception to this rule.

That was, if someone wanted to change the number of bullets to choose more bullets.

This was not a sign of weakness or regret; it was a desire to engage in a more extreme gamble.

This adheres to all the rules of the Life and Death Casino and was the type of gamble most welcomed by the casino.

Pawning one’s body was out of the question, and he still wanted to take the gold coins.

Of course, even if this would be considered a loss, it didn’t matter. He could still find other gamblers to bet with.

According to rule three, gambling between gamblers allowed the entry fee to be decided by the gamblers themselves.

This meant that the entry fee could also be zero.

Although he hadn’t paid today’s retention fee yet, he had enough time to win both the retention fee and the entry fee.

The young man’s smile was filled with a cold madness, yet there was also a touch of elegance in his madness.

It was like a carnivorous flower growing wildly under the moonlight, carrying endless danger but being extremely beautiful at the same time.

It was impossible to look away.

Even the staff member felt the same way. Despite not being of the same species as humans, the young man’s smile deeply captivated him.

The slender figure seemed so fragile, as if it might wither away, but there was not a hint of fear in his eyes, only madness and elegance.

To be mad to the extreme was a kind of elegance in itself.

The young man was now a qualified gambler.

And the Life and Death Casino most welcomed true gamblers.

However, it seemed the staff member was a bit unqualified. Looking at the stunning young man before him, he instinctively advised, “Are you sure?”

“Two bullets are very dangerous.”
