In this casino where lives could be pawned, in this world that revolves solely around gambling, the young man was like a flickering flame in the dark forest, drawing everyone’s attention.
There were mad screams and cheers for him.
The atmosphere at the gambling table ignited instantly when the young man said, “It’s your turn,” and the deafening screams erupted.
It was a coronation for the young man’s victory.
He really won this round!!!
What incredible luck! What wanton audacity!
After all, this was never a child’s play but a real gamble of life and death, where no one could harbor any illusions of luck.
And there was no chance for one to reload.
More and more gamblers gathered around, and after understanding the situation, they, too, became as frenzied as the others, eagerly watching everything unfold.
They wanted to witness the conclusion of this gamble.
The concept of human life had long been absent among the gamblers here, not to mention the staff were not even considered human.
No gambler wasn’t curious whether the staff could be killed.
The news spread quickly in the Life and Death Casino, and almost half of the gamblers on this floor gathered, eager to witness the moment when a casino staff member might die.
When the gamblers arrived, they initially intended to look at the staff, but their gazes were first drawn to the young man.
In this casino, the most popular were not the beautiful vases, but the fervent gamblers.
But this didn’t mean the gamblers were blind.
The young man had a slender and delicate figure, his appearance noble and clean like white magnolia, but the tear mole at the corner of his eye disrupted that purity, adding an inexplicable allure to him.
It gave him an innocent yet seductive charm.
This was the kind of beauty the gamblers liked the most.
Every time after a win, gamblers loved to pull such beauties into a room, indulging themselves and sharing the excitement and joy of victory with them.
But at this moment, almost no gambler’s gaze was colored with desire.
Because although the young man’s figure was thin, the aura he exuded was like a blooming poppy, making people willing to fall into his charm.
Just like water was to fish, gambling was to gamblers.
After realizing that this young man was the one who won against the casino staff, the gamblers’ fervor and obsession reached a peak.
It was almost like faith.
Scattered points of light directly merged into Ruan Qing’s body, dazzling and pure.
This was something the system had never anticipated, yet it seemed expected.
The crazier a person was, the purer they became.
The more easily they believed in what they pursue.
Faith was not something that only arose after being saved; it was a firmer belief and choice.
The staff’s expression did not change much, but in his eyes was the same fervor and obsession as the other gamblers.
It was directed at the young man before him.
At this moment, he finally seemed more human.
In the crowd’s anticipation, the staff picked up the gun on the table, slowly raised it, and aimed it at his own temple.
All the gamblers fell silent, watching the staff intently, afraid to miss the most thrilling moment.
It was as if the staff understood their eagerness; he did not deliberately delay, and under everyone’s tense gaze, directly pulled the trigger.
“Click.”
The gun did not fire, only the sound of the trigger being pulled was heard.
Just like the previous five times.
Because the atmosphere was very quiet, the click sound seemed especially loud.
But it was clearly not as loud as a gunshot.
Everyone present was stunned, staring blankly at the gun on the table, unable to react.
Even Ruan Qing’s beautifully drawn brows furrowed slightly.
Clearly, it was supposed to be the last bullet, so why was it still an empty chamber?
The staff seemed to understand everyone’s confusion and smiled as he answered, his voice unwavering, “It jammed.”
“It seems God favors me.”
When the gun jammed, the bullet could not be fired, so naturally, there would be no gunshot, and it wouldn’t kill the staff.
But wasn’t the advantage of a revolver that it didn’t jam?
Moreover, the items in the life-and-death gambling den had never been known to malfunction, let alone a revolver jamming.
However, the fact that it hadn’t happened didn’t mean the probability was zero. The gamblers’ eyes were filled with deep disappointment.
Clearly, this was a game of life and death, yet in the end, there were no casualties.
No one was a winner, and no one was a loser.
In the eyes of the gamblers, such a game held no meaning and certainly no thrill.
All the frenzy disappeared at that moment.
Some gamblers even looked at the revolver and muttered, “What bad luck.”
“Ugh, let’s go, let’s go. What a waste of my time.”
“It would have been better to gamble a few more rounds.”
Most of the gamblers dispersed, but some remained around the gambling table, wanting to see the young man’s reaction.
Because they knew that for a crazed gambler, such a result would be hard to accept.
He was about to win, but it was suddenly declared a draw.
Even the onlooking gamblers were extremely upset, let alone the young man who was gambling with his life.
He must have felt even worse.
They also had a vague feeling that the staff might have cheated.
Unlike the uncertain gamblers, the viewers in the livestream were quite certain.
[He cheated, he definitely cheated! He must have tampered with the revolver! I don’t believe it really jammed! Revolvers never jam!]
[I told you it wouldn’t be so easy to kill the staff. This is just an ordinary person gambling with his life while they cheat!]
[Damn! I’m so mad, I’m furious! How dare they bully my wife! If I were there, I’d bite them! I’d bite them to death!]
Ruan Qing was also sure that the staff had cheated, as the bullet landed in the last chamber.
That was the result he obtained through multiple attempts and precise calculations.
That’s why he started first.
Given the staff’s attitude, they would agree to let him start first.
Ruan Qing originally wanted to see if the staff could be killed and what would happen if they were killed, but it ended in a draw.
However, Ruan Qing wasn’t too surprised. At least he confirmed another thing.
Rule 6: If any player is caught cheating, they will be immediately declared as losers.
In other words, if not detected, it was considered a normal gambling method allowed by the casino rules.
So the staff acted recklessly because he dared to conclude that no one could find out.
Meh that sucks. Buttt now we have an obsessive staff member joining the "i love ruan qing" club yayyy (pls be somewhat decent)
ReplyDelete"if" no one finds out. time to expose the staff!
