In general, gambling games usually had wins and losses, with ties being relatively rare.
Since there would always be a final winner in a gambling game, the winner could naturally be him as well.
After obtaining the information he wanted, Ruan Qing left without a moment of hesitation.
The live stream audience was stunned by this.
Even though the young man walked away calmly and indifferently, even after losing the gamble, his slender and delicate figure seemed somewhat nonchalant.
It even seemed like he had everything under control.
As if he wasn’t the loser of the game, but the ultimate winner.
[Wife is so handsome, I’m dying. His handsomeness makes me want to lie down, wife doesn’t need to pity me.]
[Although my wife is so weak, he makes me feel like he’s no different from those big shots like Su Zhen. Is this what a top player is like? So strong.]
[Indeed, when wife stands with those big shots, his aura doesn’t lose out at all, he feels just as strong as the other big shots.]
Not only did the live stream audience feel this way, but the players on the scene also felt the same.
No wonder so many big shots were smitten by him.
He had the capability, and it’s not just due to his looks. The young man seemed to shine, attracting countless gazes even when standing still.
It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe.
As if the young man was born to be high and mighty, drawing everyone’s attention.
The players didn’t find this idea absurd. After all, the admiration for the strong was a very common mentality.
In the realm of infinite horror games, it’s never just about combat skills; intelligence was equally important.
High-IQ players would always discover clues faster, find the core of the instance quicker, and could use their brains to avoid many dangers.
And the young man clearly belonged to this category of high-IQ players.
No wonder those big shots offered a 600,000-point bounty for the young man, yet no one could find him. With his intelligence, once he decided to hide, it would be hard for anyone to locate him.
It’s just unclear why his whereabouts were exposed this time.
Ruan Qing didn’t pay any attention to everyone present. After stepping out of the maze, he let himself be transported out of the casino.
Because Su Zhen and Lu Rufeng’s attention was focused on Han Ze, they did not notice Ruan Qing’s intentions.
Naturally, they did not stop Ruan Qing from walking away.
By the time they realized Ruan Qing’s intentions, it was too late. Even Su Zhen’s teleportation couldn’t bring him back. They could only watch helplessly as Ruan Qing’s figure disappeared into the betting area.
After Ruan Qing’s figure vanished, the maze fell into a dead silence, and the atmosphere became oppressively tense.
The players on the scene stood trembling not far away, not daring to make a sound.
They feared that these few people might kill them to vent their anger.
The person who initiated this bet had conceded, but no one had won the bet yet, as the teams participating in the bet had only lost one team.
The other teams’ participants were still intact.
Ruan Qing’s bet was merely that he would learn their IDs, but their bet was different. Naturally, they couldn’t admit defeat.
Nor could they afford to.
So, the gamble continued under an extremely eerie atmosphere, and even the maid boy did not leave.
When Ruan Qing left, he took nine flags with him, which meant those nine flags were invalidated, leaving only Han Ze’s flag in the bet.
But since Lu Rufeng and the others had just entered the maze and were looking for Ruan Qing, they didn’t have many flags. All the flags everyone had combined didn’t even total ten.
There was no need to start fighting, as even if they did, they wouldn’t have ten flags.
Moreover, even if they managed to kill the others, they would pay a heavy price. Entering the perilous maze in such a poor state, the chances of surviving were slim.
Even high-level players like them wouldn’t underestimate a high-level dungeon’s maze.
Their eyes were ice-cold, their bodies exuding hostility, as they returned to the maze to continue the gamble.
By this time, Ruan Qing had already returned to the hall of Area Two of the Life and Death Casino.
He was probably the only player to leave the maze bet unscathed.
Han Ze, who was sitting against the wall, saw Ruan Qing come out. His eyes lit up, and he immediately tried to stand up.
However, his injuries were too severe. As soon as he clutched his chest and sat up, he collapsed back to the ground.
Blood once again flowed from his mouth.
Han Ze was in a lot of pain, but he was extremely happy now, so happy that he almost couldn’t feel the pain in his body.
After all, he had just gone from despair to hope in an instant.
He had survived, and he could see endless possibilities with the young man.
However, he lost the bet, and that meant the young man lost as well.
Han Ze pressed his thin lips tightly together, trying hard to stand up, wanting to walk over to Ruan Qing.
He wanted the young man not to be angry.
However, even though Han Ze didn’t feel much pain, his body was protesting. Despite his efforts to stand up several times, he couldn’t succeed.
Instead, he ended up bleeding again, staining the ground where he was sitting with blood.
Li Ruoshi’s coins were not enough to exchange for high-quality healing medicine; at most, it just stopped Han Ze’s bleeding.
Ruan Qing also didn’t have many coins left. Exchanging for the teleportation talisman had cost him most of his coins, leaving him without enough to get healing medicine.
Ruan Qing didn’t mind the blood all over Han Ze’s body. He walked over, squatted in front of Han Ze, and asked in a much softer voice, “Can you hold on?”
Han Ze carefully nodded at the person in front of him, “Yes.”
Han Ze’s voice sounded very weak, almost feeble.
Ruan Qing checked Han Ze’s wounds a little; there were several fatal injuries, the kind that would normally cause instant death.
An ordinary person would have been dead long ago.
However, Han Ze’s condition was not much better; his pulse was gradually weakening.
It wasn’t just from excessive bleeding. Almost all of Han Ze’s internal organs were shattered, even his heart was pierced.
The fact that he was holding on until now was a miracle.
Ruan Qing left out a hundred coins, then exchanged the rest for the best medicines he could get from the Life and Death Casino shop.
The effect wasn’t very strong, not enough to save Han Ze’s life, but it was better than nothing.
After taking the medicine, Han Ze regained some strength, and his complexion improved a little.
He probably wouldn’t die in the short term, but without enough coins to exchange for better medicine, he wouldn’t live much longer either.
Ruan Qing didn’t waste any more time, supporting Han Ze and heading towards Area One of the Life and Death Casino.
Han Ze secretly watched Ruan Qing, who was supporting him, with a look of fear and unease. He wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he didn’t have the courage to say anything.
After all, he harmed the young man, lost the bet, and missed out on that kiss.
This made him feel even worse than losing the bet.
Ruan Qing didn’t notice Han Ze’s expression; he was walking and thinking.
Seeing this, Han Ze thought Ruan Qing was angry, so he pressed his lips together more tightly, his eyes filled with guilt and sadness.
Ruan Qing didn’t help Han Ze back to the room, but instead stopped at the roulette table where the original bet was made.
This was the quickest-ending bet, and also the one Ruan Qing was most confident about.
Ruan Qing placed his last hundred gold coins on the table as his entry fee for the gamble.
The dealer was the same one as before. After glancing at the man Ruan Qing had helped to the chair, the dealer looked at Ruan Qing with a bright smile, “Honorable guest, how many bullets would you like to bet this time?”
Ruan Qing didn’t hesitate, “Two.”
The weight of three bullets was different, and the force needed varied. He had just spent a lot of mental energy guiding Han Ze, and coupled with the oppressive fear of the maze, his head was already aching.
In this state, calculating the force needed for three bullets could easily lead to a mistake.
Although the likelihood was small, Ruan Qing didn’t want any accidents.
Two bullets wouldn’t be enough to exchange for the medicine that could save Han Ze’s life, so he would just gamble a few more times.
Seeing this, the dealer didn’t hesitate as much as before. As soon as Ruan Qing finished speaking, he pushed two bullets in front of Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing picked up the bullets and put them into the gun, spun the chamber, pointed it at his temple, and without any pause, pulled the trigger.
“Click.” An empty chamber.
Ruan Qing pushed the winnings of a hundred gold coins to the dealer. “Again.”
Since it was an empty chamber, the two bullets were still in the gun, so the dealer didn’t need to provide more bullets.
Thus, Ruan Qing spun the chamber himself, closed it, and pulled the trigger again.
“Click.” Another empty chamber.
Ruan Qing pushed another hundred gold coins over. “Again.”
Dealer: “...”
The onlookers: “......”
Were they just trying to rack up coins here!!!?
The problem was, it’s clear that this was cheating! It’s impossible to be this calm and do it multiple times without cheating.
Was cheating this blatant now?
The onlookers looked at the staff, wanting to see his reaction.
However, the staff just watched, as if he hadn’t noticed Ruan Qing cheating at all.
In fact, the staff did notice the young man racking up coins here, and he was not just letting it slide.
Cheating would mean losing, which would mean the young man would belong to him.
The staff hoped the young man would cheat, but unfortunately, he couldn’t catch him cheating.
They couldn’t find any traces of cheating made by the young man.
It seemed as if God was watching over the other, and every time, the bullet never hit. The most dangerous time was one turn away.
Without any traces or evidence of cheating, the staff had no reason to accuse the young man of cheating.
When Ruan Qing said “again” for the umpteenth time, the staff smiled and pointed to the rules on the corner of the gambling table.
At the bottom of the rules, there was a clause stating that a particular game could only be played five times.
This rule was present on almost all the tables in the Life and Death Casino’s first district, to prevent gamblers from racking up coins.
And Ruan Qing had already played five times.
Seeing this, Ruan Qing withdrew his gaze. The coins from five rounds were not enough to exchange for the medicine to treat Han Ze.
Ruan Qing had checked the Life and Death Casino’s store before, and that medicine could save someone as long as they were still breathing.
But it required fifty thousand coins to exchange.
Ruan Qing thought for a moment and then said, “Then let’s switch to the previous game. We will still take turns shooting.”
“But this time, we will shoot at each other.”
The staff paused and then revealed a bright smile. “Sure.”
Ai que nervosismo!
