Chapter 232.2: Life and Death Casino (4)

  Ruan Qing lifted his fair chin and lightly pointed at the gun in front of the staff member.

There was a hint of arrogance and displeasure in his eyes.

The staff member, who couldn’t understand human emotions or easily read human reactions, didn’t need the young man to speak this time; he understood the young man’s meaning.

He pushed the gun over.

After all, saying the gun jammed was just his own claim, and naturally, no one would believe it. As a gambler in this round, it was normal for Ruan Qing to check the gun.

It was his right.

The Life and Death Casino granted a gambler the right to question their opponent’s cheating.

But unfortunately, he said the gun jammed, so...

“Bang!!!” A gunshot rang out.

The staff member’s eyes widened instantly, his pupils contracted slightly, and his eyes turned cold gold once more.

His head didn’t turn at all, but his pupils shifted to one side, looking behind him.

The scene looked extremely eerie.

Behind the staff member, there was a small hole in the wall.

It was where the bullet had grazed his face and shot into the wall behind him.

The bullet carried a slight breeze, blowing the staff member’s hair up.

And the one who fired the shot was the young man at the gambling table.

After Ruan Qing got the gun, he didn’t check it as the staff member expected.

Because he knew that if the staff member was so confident, it meant he definitely couldn’t find anything by checking.

So why bother?

Thus, Ruan Qing directly aimed the gun at the staff member’s left side.

Then he fired without hesitation.

After the gunshot, the gambling table was silent, as quiet as if a pin drop couldn’t be heard.

No one expected Ruan Qing to shoot at the staff member, whether it was the audience in the live stream or the gamblers watching.

Even the staff member himself didn’t react in time.

However, the shot did not injure the staff member, nor did it even graze his cheek.

But a strand of hair slowly floated in the air and eventually landed on the gambling table in front of him.

The young man had deliberately aimed at the hair, because this definitely wouldn’t count as physical harm.

At this moment, the young man was still holding the gun. After firing the shot, he moved the gun slightly, directly aiming it at the staff member’s forehead.

He pulled the trigger again.

“Bang!”

This time there was no gunshot sound; it was the young man’s voice mimicking it.

It was like a mischievous child who, despite holding a water gun, exuded the aura of firing a real gun.

He even added sound effects to the water gun.

It was as if he genuinely wanted to kill the staff member.

Not “as if”—he really wanted to kill.

This life-and-death gamble was the best proof of that.

Unfortunately, killing was only allowed within the gambling game. Once the game ended, any violence was prohibited in the casino.

The young man probably knew this, which was why the real shot was aimed to the left of the staff member, not at his head.

But even so, it was already extremely bold.

Bold to the point of being almost arrogant.

After all, no one dared to aim a gun at a staff member and fire outside of a gambling session.

There was only one bullet in the gun, and after firing, it was naturally empty.

But the staff member looked at the young man with a blank stare, as if he had been shot and scared stiff.

Only the staff member knew that he wasn’t scared stiff; his heart had started to lose control.

Its beating frequency had surpassed the human limit, so loud that he could hear it himself.

It seemed as though all the surrounding noise had disappeared, leaving only the sound of his pounding heart.

He looked at the person in front of him, his golden pupils darkening and narrowing into slits.

The staff member used a great amount of effort to control himself and maintain his human form.

Because that would frighten the young man.

Humans have always disliked intelligent beings more powerful than themselves; it only makes them fearful.

Moreover, one of the rules for casino staff was to prohibit showing their true form in front of humans.

He neither wanted to scare the young man nor violate the casino’s rules.

Ruan Qing had no idea what the staff member was thinking. He tilted his head, as if amused by the staff member’s foolish appearance, and chuckled softly, “It does seem like it just got stuck.”

The young man’s words made it seem like his actions with the two guns earlier were just to test if they were jammed.

He shrugged off his killing intent towards the staff member.

However, everyone present knew that was not the case.

The young man holding the gun showed no guilt at all, but instead smiled recklessly.

It was as if the gods had taken away the young man’s timidity, leaving only that fearless and bold madness.

The Life and Death Casino was never short of lunatics, but the young man was different. Even in his madness, he always exuded a kind of ingrained nonchalance and arrogance.

It gave people the feeling that even if he was rejected by the world, he would still sit high on his throne, looking down on everything with disdain.

He was a lunatic, but also an incredibly elegant one.

The live stream audience exploded. Long before Ruan Qing and the staff member placed their bets, a large number of people had already flooded in.

These were viewers from other players’ live streams.

Initially, they came because the streamer was exceptionally good-looking, but they ended up witnessing the young man’s arrogance and flamboyance.

[Ahhhhh! I’m dying! My wife is so handsome! Wife, point the gun at me! Shoot whenever you want!]

[He’s so handsome I can’t breathe. How does my wife manage to smile so charmingly while being so villainous? His smile has reached my heart.]

[Wuwuwu, master, look at me. I’m already obediently kneeling. Please don’t pity me, step on me hard!]

As numerous barage comments flashed by, there were also a lot of rewards given.

The follower count of the live stream skyrocketed to an incredible number.

This was the first player whose fan count increased so rapidly, possibly setting a new historical record.

The live stream hall did not support new players’ streams, but it provided substantial support to those whose fan count rose quickly.

There was a section specifically for promoting new streamers. Generally, if a streamer gained a certain number of followers within a month, they could be featured in this section.

However, on the very first day of his live stream, Ruan Qing soared directly into this section.

Numerous viewers were puzzled when they saw this newly appeared live room.

This was because the live room had no recommended cover, the screen was completely dark, and there wasn’t even any introduction.

Even the name of the live room was just the default system ID number.

It could be said that it was extremely perfunctory.

Yet, this extremely perfunctory live room appeared in this section, which was clearly unusual.

Viewers clicked in with puzzled expressions, and then instantly understood why this player was able to appear in this section.

Because this player was simply too beautiful.

So beautiful that he seemed like a ray of light, illuminating a dull and lifeless world, shining brightly in this dark and decaying world of infinite horror.
