Even in the Life and Death Casino where the use of force was prohibited, Ruan Qing instantly felt his hair stood on end and a shiver ran down his spine.
One must know that Su Zhen was not only someone who effortlessly sliced off the top of a building, but also someone who retreated unscathed after battling a dungeon boss.
When Ruan Qing visited the main city of the game, he specifically gathered information and learned that such feats were not something ordinary high-level players could achieve.
Facing a dungeon boss alone was impossible even for high-level players.
But Su Zhen did it, and he did it while simultaneously facing the dungeon boss and other high-level players.
His strength was terrifying, nearly the highest Ruan Qing had ever witnessed.
Ruan Qing wasn’t even sure if the rules of the Life and Death Casino applied to Su Zhen.
Ruan Qing’s eyelashes fluttered nervously, and he lowered his head to avoid Su Zhen’s gaze. “No, I was just looking around.”
“I’m a bit curious about Area 2.”
“Just looking around?” Su Zhen raised an eyebrow and spoke with a hint of nonchalance. “You’ve been looking around for ten minutes?”
Clearly, Su Zhen hadn’t just arrived; he had probably been there since Ruan Qing started looking at the tablet, silently watching him.
Ruan Qing wanted to speak, but Su Zhen didn’t give him a chance.
As soon as Su Zhen finished speaking, his slender fingers moved slightly, and a black thread instantly appeared in his hand.
The black thread wrapped around the tablet in Ruan Qing’s hand, and the next second, the tablet fell into Su Zhen’s hand.
Ruan Qing had no time to react.
Even if he had reacted, he wouldn’t have been able to keep the tablet; he was far from being a match for Su Zhen in terms of strength.
Ruan Qing glanced surreptitiously at the nearby staff.
However, the staff didn’t seem to consider taking the tablet as an act of force, merely watching Su Zhen indifferently.
They had no intention of intervening.
The tablet belonged to the staff, not Ruan Qing, so it wasn’t considered theft.
Ruan Qing stood rigidly in place, saying nothing and making no attempt to reclaim the tablet.
The screen still showed the scene of the woman in the gambling match.
Despite her body being covered in injuries, the woman in the picture was still struggling to seize the staff’s belongings. Her persistence and tenacity were indeed admirable.
She was striving to fulfill her promise to her teammates, determined not to give up on herself.
The woman’s act of sacrificing herself to save her teammates was especially commendable in this game of infinite horror.
Moreover, the woman was quite attractive, and her unyielding spirit was truly dazzling.
“She is pretty,” Su Zhen said blandly. As he spoke, the tablet in his hand suddenly went black, and the screen began to shatter.
The cracks spread across the tablet like a spider web, growing larger and eventually covering the entire screen.
It was enough to send chills down one’s spine.
It was as if it was declaring the fate of the woman in the video.
The staff member frowned at the damaged tablet but ultimately pretended not to see anything.
When Ruan Qing saw the tablet being destroyed, his expression did not change, nor did he speak again.
It seemed as if he did not care at all about the woman’s fate.
Ruan Qing wasn’t indifferent; he knew that explaining himself would only make the situation worse.
A perverse person would stubbornly believe he cared about the woman, which was why he was eager to explain.
Not explaining was the best approach.
This was a lesson Ruan Qing had learned from countless experiences.
Su Zhen was indeed satisfied with the person’s reaction in front of him and slightly believed his claim of just taking a casual look.
However, there was something he had been displeased with for a long time.
The black thread in Su Zhen’s hand disappeared as he slowly walked toward Ruan Qing, his tall figure exuding an indescribable sense of danger and oppression.
“You sure know how to hide.”
Su Zhen’s tone was flat, making it unclear whether it was praise or sarcasm.
Ruan Qing knew it was definitely not praise. As he watched the approaching person, his whole body screamed to flee. He lightly pressed his lips together and subconsciously took two steps back.
However, these two steps seemed to deepen Su Zhen’s displeasure. He quickened his pace and stood in front of Ruan Qing, radiating an inescapable sense of oppression.
Just as Su Zhen reached out to grab Ruan Qing’s wrist, a card flew towards his hand.
Su Zhen did not dodge, allowing the card to hit his hand.
The gambling card then fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
The sound drew the attention of everyone around to its source.
Su Zhen’s gaze shifted from the fallen gambling card, looking nonchalantly at the person who had thrown them.
A staff member gave Su Zhen a polite smile. “This... guest, in the Life and Death Casino, any form of violence is prohibited during non-gambling times.”
Though the staff member was smiling, there was a hint of coldness and warning in his eyes.
Not only did the staff playing gambling look at Su Zhen, but even the staff at other gambling tables also turned their eyes towards him with the same cold look.
There was even an unprecedented level of vigilance.
It was clear they had recognized Su Zhen’s uniqueness and strength.
Or perhaps... they knew Su Zhen.
Moreover, most of the time, the staff referred to gamblers as ‘players’ or ‘gamblers,’ but this was the first time they had called someone ‘guest.’
Su Zhen glanced at the staff members around who were watching him. After a light chuckle, he withdrew his hand.
Then, he directly used a black thread to pull the three people at the gambling table off their seats and sat down himself.
His actions were extremely domineering, without any consideration for the thoughts or feelings of others.
Su Zhen moved so quickly that the three players he pulled off didn’t even see what happened before they were already on the ground.
However, they had no objections and quietly stood up to the side.
Because they had recognized the man.
The rankings of the players rarely changed, and since Su Zhen appeared, he had always been at the top of the list.
No player didn’t know Su Zhen’s name.
Maybe in the past, they didn’t know what Su Zhen looked like, but after the <Xishan Residential Area> instance and the bounty mission, almost no player didn’t know him.
Not to mention just being pulled by him; even if he wanted to kill them, they probably wouldn’t have the strength to fight back.
Naturally, they didn’t dare to have any opinions, nor did they dare to look at Su Zhen more than once.
Some players looked at the elegant young man, and a bold idea flashed through their minds.
Could this be... the one with the bounty?
The players initially thought that the big shots might be crazy for spending so many points to put a bounty on someone.
But at this moment, the players somewhat understood.
This person indeed deserved such a high bounty.
After Su Zhen sat down, he glanced sideways at Ruan Qing, his slender fingers tapping on the gambling table. He spoke slowly, “How about a game?”
In the Life and Death Casino, one had the right to refuse someone else’s invitation. This was the right of every gambler.
Ruan Qing didn’t even think before wanting to refuse, “I...”
hes prob gonna accept but pls say no
