At the moment the gambling game began, the players were intently and nervously watching, only to realize that someone had left.
Everyone instinctively looked over and found that the person leaving was Ruan Qing.
They widened their eyes in shock and watched Ruan Qing walk away.
He walked away.
He walked away...
The players: “...” He’s really brave.
Not only did the players and gamblers think Ruan Qing was brave, but even the viewers in the livestream also thought the streamer was quite bold.
[These two started fighting over the streamer, and the streamer just walked away without even looking. It seems he doesn’t care about them at all.]
[My husband is so awesome! That casual and disdainful look! It’s killing me with how cool it is!]
[I’m a bit worried. If the surviving one is the boy maid, fine, but if it’s Su Zhen... ]
[What right do those two have to be angry? They’re just losers to my husband. Even after death, they still cheat, pfft!]
Ruan Qing left decisively, showing no interest in watching the game between the two.
These two would probably take at least ten minutes to determine a winner, and winning 100,000 gold coins in ten minutes was not impossible.
He could use this time to leave the instance.
However, just halfway through his departure, a low voice from the system echoed in his mind.
[Su Zhen has sealed the instance. No one can enter or leave.]
The restriction on entering was to block those also hunting Ruan Qing, and the restriction on leaving naturally targeted Ruan Qing himself.
This was why Su Zhen could confidently enter the gambling game.
Because even if Ruan Qing won 100,000 gold coins now, he still couldn’t clear the instance and leave.
Ruan Qing’s steps halted immediately. ‘...Next time, say it earlier.’
If he couldn’t leave, he wouldn’t dare to walk away.
Ruan Qing forcibly changed direction, went to the restaurant of the Life and Death Casino, bought a piece of bread with gold coins, and returned to the gambling game.
It was as if he had just left to buy something to eat.
Although the onlookers weren’t directly involved, seeing Ruan Qing return with food in hand, they all let out a sigh of relief.
They said, how could anyone be brave to this... extent...
The players hadn’t even finished exhaling when they saw Ruan Qing walking over and standing in front of the screen of the neighboring gambling match.
The players’ expressions were tinged with a bit of shock; he really was still that brave.
Ruan Qing originally intended to leave, but as he passed by the neighboring gambling match, something caught his eye, and he subconsciously stopped.
Inside the gambling match, a gambler was fighting against a staff member.
Ruan Qing glanced at the bets beside the screen; they weren’t betting lives, just gold coins.
But strangely, almost all the bets were on the gambler winning against the staff member.
The onlookers seemed to have great confidence in that gambler’s abilities.
Ruan Qing looked at the gambling match on the screen, his delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.
The gambler in the match was handsome and had sharp features, but he appeared somewhat silent and honest, almost simple-minded.
He seemed like one of those honest laborers whose personality didn’t quite match his looks.
Moreover, while the gambler was indeed strong, he seemed a bit dim-witted, mostly relying on brute strength to fight, as if his brain couldn’t keep up.
If he knew how to adapt a bit more, he might have already won this match.
Ruan Qing thoughtfully watched for a few seconds before withdrawing his gaze and leaving.
He didn’t notice that as he turned away, the man in the gambling match seemed to sense something, glancing in the camera’s direction.
However, the next second, the man silently withdrew his gaze.
Ruan Qing returned to the gambling match between Su Zhen and the boy maid, tore open the bread packaging, and watched the match while taking small bites of bread.
There wasn’t much to see in the match, as both were too fast, and basically, all one could see was the clash of their powers.
Only players with considerable strength could keep up with their speed.
Those who could see clearly had a shock in their eyes; these two were truly terrifying.
Su Zhen was one thing, but the boy maid could actually go toe-to-toe with Su Zhen.
The boy maid must also be one of the top players on the leaderboard.
But they had never heard of any top player on the leaderboard who liked to wear women’s clothing, let alone one who looked so young.
However, most of the players on the leaderboard had never shown their faces, only their names were known, so it wasn’t surprising they didn’t know.
Ruan Qing couldn’t clearly see the fight between the two, only catching glimpses of their figures during brief pauses, and couldn’t tell who had the upper hand.
While Ruan Qing was pretending to watch intently, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Ruan Qing instinctively glanced over.
It was the man from the earlier bet.
The man noticed Ruan Qing looking at him and, after a few seconds of silence, reached into his pocket.
He then extended his hand towards Ruan Qing, which was filled with gold coins and gold vouchers.
The man was very tall, and his hands weren’t small either, so he held at least one or two thousand gold coins.
It seemed like he was offering them to Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing looked down at the coins, then raised his head to look at the man and softly asked, “Do you want to bet with me?”
The man shook his head and, as if he hadn’t spoken in a long time, said in a low, hoarse voice, “I’m giving them to you.”
As he spoke, he extended his hand with the coins towards Ruan Qing again.
Because his hand was so full, a few coins fell to the ground with a noticeable clatter.
This drew the attention of the players and gamblers who were intently watching the bet.
They also heard the man’s words, “I’m giving them to you.”
The players were stunned and looked at Ruan Qing with even more astonishment.
This time, their eyes also held a hint of admiration.
While the two big shots were fighting fiercely inside, not only was the person of interest uninterested in the bet, but he was also being given gold coins by another man.
How many connections did this person have? Wasn’t he afraid that one day it might all backfire?
Ruan Qing didn’t mind the others’ gazes. He smiled and reminded, “It’s forbidden to give gold coins in the Life and Death Casino.”
The man pressed his thin lips tightly together and gripped the coins in his hand, looking at Ruan Qing in silence.
He seemed a bit at a loss.
Ruan Qing paused, then looked into the man’s eyes and asked, “Do you want to bet with me?”
This time, the man nodded, “Bet.”
After speaking, the man, as if afraid that Ruan Qing might change his mind, immediately went to find the staff from the neighboring, just-emptied casino.
It was clear that he intended to borrow the staff’s space for gambling.
Seeing this, Ruan Qing immediately stopped the man. “I don’t fight.”
The man halted upon hearing this, frowned, and seemed to be thinking of a solution.
Just as the man was about to say he would forfeit as soon as he entered, a deck of cards appeared in Ruan Qing’s hand.
Ruan Qing had exchanged gold coins for the deck at the Life and Death Casino. He skillfully shuffled the cards and looked at the man, softly asking, “What games do you know?”
is it just me or is that guy kinda cute. this might slap me in the face in later chapters but hes pretty sweet
