Chapter 242.1: Life and Death Casino (14)

  Su Zhen and the boy maid in the gambling game were unaware that Ruan Qing was not watching, nor did they know that he was gambling with someone else.

The two unleashed their killing intent without any reservations and began fighting as soon as they entered the gambling game.

Both wanted to kill the other.

Their enmity had begun the moment they met in Ruan Qing’s room.

Combined with the grudges formed at the gambling table, their conflict was nearly irreconcilable.

The two forces clashed with each other, as if they were about to destroy everything in the world.

Neither force could consume the other, but the surrounding entities were different. Upon encountering their powers, the surroundings were instantly obliterated without a trace of ash remaining.

The gambling area had become a scene of devastation, and even the space itself became unstable. The surrounding space started to distort imperceptibly, as if seen through flames.

In some places, the space barriers were slightly broken, revealing a pitch-black void that devoured even light.

However, once their powers dissipated, the space immediately healed.

But as the two fought without restraint, the spatial rifts grew larger, becoming visibly evident.

Even after their powers dissipated, the space took a long time to heal.

This instance was an advanced one, and the gambling games in Area Two were generally set in a different dimension.

Although fused with the Life and Death Casino, these dimensions were independent of it, so even if this alternate space was destroyed, it wouldn’t affect the Life and Death Casino.

Therefore, no matter how intense their battle became, it wouldn’t directly destroy the instance.

However, the lockdown Su Zhen had placed on the instance was affected, becoming extremely unstable.

It fluctuated between strong and weak.

The weak intervals were generally just a few seconds, causing minimal impact.

***

A few people in the main game city had finally found items from the Life and Death Casino, only to discover that they couldn’t enter the instance.

Such a situation meant either the instance wasn’t open for the next batch of players or it was locked.

The Life and Death Casino instance was an open one, not requiring players to wait for the previous batch to finish, so it could only be that the instance was locked.

Very few people could achieve this.

Moreover, the fact that Su Zhen, who had not appeared, was the one who sealed the dungeon, was self-evident.

And it was sealed using a super S-grade prop.

Even they couldn’t break the seal in a short time, and they cursed Su Zhen thoroughly.

They wished they could go in and kill Su Zhen.

Although they couldn’t break the seal in a short time, they didn’t give up and tried various methods to enter the dungeon.

After all, the young man always managed to hide, and if they missed this dungeon, who knew when they would find the young man again?

Besides, if they didn’t go in, Su Zhen would definitely take the person away, and just thinking about it made them unbearable.

Just as they were trying everything, they suddenly noticed a fluctuation in the seal of the Life and Death Casino dungeon.

Although it was almost imperceptible, lasting only a second or two.

Once they found the opportunity, they didn’t hesitate to use items from the Life and Death Casino to enter the dungeon.

***

Ruan Qing didn’t know that someone had entered again. He silently watched the man who, after Ruan Qing played a pair of Aces, played four Twos.

The man could have easily won with just a pair of Twos, but he played four Twos instead.

Moreover, the man didn’t seem to think he had made a mistake, even showing a hint of happiness in his eyes, thinking he had surely won.

He didn’t even realize that the Jokers hadn’t been played yet.

Not only did he not know how to count cards, but he also couldn’t even understand the few cards in his hand.

Ruan Qing had never seen someone so foolish, as if he had left his brain at home.

He even started to doubt his judgment, thinking maybe this man wasn’t a clone of the system after all.

Although the system didn’t seem very smart, it couldn’t possibly be this stupid.

Even after giving him four games, the man still couldn’t win, losing almost all his coins.

However, the system had mentioned that its clones couldn’t retain memories when entering dungeons.

Playing a pair of Aces so blatantly was already too obvious; if he let the man win again, even a fool could see his favoritism towards the man.

Ignoring the hint of happiness in the man’s eyes, Ruan Qing directly played the Jokers to beat the man’s four Twos.

Then he played another pair of Aces.

The man’s initial happiness froze instantly. He looked at the Joker and the Joker on the table, clenched the four in his hand, and the joy of thinking he was about to win completely disappeared.

Only sadness and regret remained.

He was left with only a four, unable to beat a pair of Aces.

He was going to lose again.

The man sneaked a glance at Ruan Qing, lowered his head again in inferiority, exuding an aura of gloom and sadness.

Despite his tall figure, he gave off a sense of grievance.

It was as if he were a big dog bullied by its owner.

Moreover, the big dog was very honest, thinking it was his fault after being bullied, feeling miserable in a corner.

Under normal circumstances, the players and gamblers would think Ruan Qing was bullying him, just fleecing a lone sheep.

But the problem was losing even with such cards, yet still daring to gamble with a skilled gambler. Wasn’t that just a fool giving away gold coins to the opponent?

However, the gamblers who knew the man were suddenly enlightened; no wonder this odd man always gambled only with the staff in Area Two.

The strange man was very famous in the Area Two of the Life and Death Casino, never missing his three daily games.

He always gambled with the staff.

If he had gold coins, he’d bet gold coins; if he didn’t, he’d bet his life.

When betting gold coins, he won some and lost some, but he never lost when betting his life, as if the threat of life and death could make him unleash immense power.

The man was one of the very few gamblers who could stay stably in Area Two for a long time, and he always fought alone in every game.

So powerful he was awe-inspiring.

But the man never gambled with any gamblers, nor did he ever interact with any of them. Even when beauties approached him, he wouldn’t look at them, so no one knew the man’s name or origin.

And no one knew the man was actually... a fool.

After playing the pair of Aces, Ruan Qing knew the man couldn’t match them, so he followed with a three.

Ruan Qing won this round again, and the man silently put down the cards in his hand.

Ruan Qing didn’t shuffle or cut the cards again, but stood up directly.

Clearly, he wasn’t going to gamble anymore.
