I'm not caught, so why do they say I'm an evil god?

"I bet he will win ten games in a row."

"Okay." The receptionist with bunny ears smiled: "New duelist Li Cheng, ten games in a row, right?"

"Yes."

"How much do you want to bet?"

The hooded man didn't say anything, took out a pocket and poured out all the magic stones inside.

"1, 2, 10, 30...43 magic stones!" The bunny girl suddenly raised her voice: "Guest, are you sure you want to bet so much?"

And this messy casino, at this moment, became silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the hooded man, and even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.

Only the bunny girl waiter's trembling voice was clear: "40 magic stones can be exchanged for more than 40,000 gold coins... I can't make the decision for such a large amount, I have to ask the supervisor to come."

"Don't bother." Under the hood, Li Cheng said softly: "I'm in a hurry."

Chapter 23 No one is optimistic about Li Cheng's bet

"Hey, where did this nouveau riche come from?"

"40 magic stones... With so much money, he actually came to the casino?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, maybe he is a nobleman from some family, coming out to experience life."

"I just hope he doesn't cry and go home after losing everything, hahaha."

All kinds of voices came and went in the casino.

These voices seemed to look down on Li Cheng, but their tone was sour.

"Li Cheng, these people are envious and jealous of you." Lilith couldn't help but complain.

Gambling, gambling, nine out of ten will lose, and once you get addicted, you can't quit.

The same is true for the gamblers here. Many of them have already lost everything, but they are used to quick money and can't do anything else.

They can only stay in the casino and dream of turning over a new leaf overnight.

For these people, 40 magic emblem stones, that is, more than 40,000 gold coins, is the huge sum of money that can turn over a new leaf.

Listening to the voices of these people, Li Cheng's mentality did not change at all.

After all, according to the setting of the game, as long as the player brings 10 emblem stones to bet, he will achieve this "attracting the attention of thousands of people".

"First, sir, this money is too much. I, I have to ask the supervisor." The bunny girl wiped the sweat from her head.

Even in the rich Storm King City, more than 40,000 gold coins are a huge sum of money.

Based on the monthly expenditure of 100 gold coins for an ordinary family, it is enough for decades.

Although there are dignitaries in the casino who bet with this amount, they are generally in the VIP room. How could they come here and mix with a bunch of mud legs?

"No need to bother, I'll just bet on Li Cheng to win ten games, is that okay? I'm in a hurry." Li Cheng lowered his voice.

"This, that's fine." The bunny girl was afraid of angering this distinguished guest, so she spoke carefully: "The new duelist won ten games in a row, the odds are 1 to 12.9, are you sure you want to bet like this?"

"Well, I recommend you increase the bet one game at a time, so that the winning rate will be higher."

Persuading people without money to go all-in at once to earn their present, and persuading rich people to bet slowly to earn their future, this is the business method of all casinos.

"No need." Li Cheng frowned: "If you can't bet here, I'll go somewhere else."

"Okay, okay, I get it, guest." The bunny girl quickly picked up a stone: "Then, then please leave your information, we need to make sure that you and the duelist Li Cheng in the last game are not the same person."

"Okay." Li Cheng nodded, took off his hood, revealing his purple hair: "I am Hughes Dahl."

The rune stone swept around Li Cheng's body.

"Then Mr. Hughes Dahl, I wish you good luck in gambling." The bunny girl handed the booklet to Li Cheng.

Seeing this scene, the jealousy and envy on the faces of the gamblers almost disappeared, replaced by pity and ridicule.

People who gamble frequently know that if ordinary gambling is 9 out of 10 bets, then the betting method of betting on 5 or 10 games in a row is the real 10 out of 10 bets.

The dealer will never sit and watch the gamblers take such a large sum of money.

They will replace the strongest gladiators in the last two games of the fight and force control.

This is almost the unspoken rule of all the arenas.

The gamblers who were originally envious now only feel gloating.

It won't be long before Mr. Hughes Dahl will lose all his property and become a loser like them.

"Haha, I really hope that day will come soon, haha." The two gamblers raised their glasses and clinked them.

"Who says it's not true? A fallen noble who lost everything left the casino in disgrace, or could not resist the temptation and chose to borrow money at a high price, and finally dragged down the entire family. Haha, such a story is really worth watching!" The mocking voices became louder and louder, but no one noticed that in the corner of the casino, a little girl in a tattered cloak quietly took out the only 50 gold coins on her body and walked to the front of the bar.

"I... I also want to bet on Li Cheng and win ten games in a row."

She trembled and handed the gold coins over.

——

In the VIP room of the underground casino.

The bunny girl clutched the sack of magic emblem stones, walked nervously to the gambling table at the deepest part, and whispered in the ear of a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses for a while.

The middle-aged man frowned, stood up from the gambling table, wiped his hands, and showed a polite and formal smile: "Everyone, I have something else to do today, so I won't continue with you."

"These chips can be used as a treat for you to drink."

"It's easy to talk, Director Huck, you go and do your work first!" The other nobles at the gambling table waved their hands and continued to linger in the game without raising their heads.

Huck then led the bunny girl out of the room.

"43 magic emblem stones, betting on a newcomer to win 10 consecutive times? Haha, interesting, really interesting, the odds are 12.9, this guy wants to take away nearly 600 emblem stones from us at once? Haha, more than 600,000 gold coins, This is really not a small sum of money.”

"Theoretically, that's the case. Sir, what do you want to do? Do you want to make Li Cheng's fight more difficult?" asked the bunny girl.

"Well, that's for sure. If Li Cheng can still win after 5 games, then the next 5 opponents will be replaced by the strongest ones. Be careful to slowly increase the difficulty and don't make it too ugly."

"Okay, I get it."

"Also, has the identity of the bettor been found?"

"Sius Dahl is the eldest son of the Dahl family, a noble family on the border of the principality."

"Border people?" Huck smiled contemptuously: "A country bumpkin, you think this is the border? Can you let him have fun? In this way, be prepared to let the news about this fat sheep to those crazy people in the Dark Brotherhood , be careful and don’t leave any clues.”

"Okay, sir, do you want to report this to the boss?"

"No need, the boss is busy with everything, so there's no need to tell her about such trivial matters."

Huck pushed up his glasses and walked into the darkness humming a tune.

Huck has always believed in one principle - to nip threats in the bud.

Since you choose to raise your foot towards the insect, you must remember to crush it a few more times to ensure that no bones of the insect remain.

Just by adjusting the difficulty of the duel, Li Cheng still had a one in 10,000 chance of winning ten rounds in a row, allowing Hughes Dahl to win a large amount of gold coins.

In this case, let the Dark Brotherhood kidnap Hughes Dahl.

As long as Hughes Dahl disappears, he will naturally not be able to collect his bonus.

The nobles on the border are first-rate sheep to the lunatics of the Dark Brotherhood.

Maybe we can get a lot of ransom from Old Dar.

The casino keeps its money and the Dark Brotherhood gets the ransom, a perfect win-win.

As for whether Hughes Dahl will be voted out...

Who cares?

The loser loses everything, isn't that the rule of Storm King City?

Huck smiled, and the candle above his head suddenly flickered twice.

His shadow suddenly changed, like a weird monster dancing in the dark night.

Chapter 24 Li Cheng said that the female assassin did not let him have all the fun

Two hours later.

Li Cheng was still wandering around the alleys around the arena in his appearance as Hughes Dahl.

"Hey, hey, Li Cheng, why do you want to participate in the duel? That's something only a madman would do!" Lilith floated beside him.

The arena in Storm King City is not a place for competition.

Normally, a battle only ends when one party dies.

This is where life is truly exchanged for money, and of course Lilith will be worried.

Li Cheng glanced at Lilith.

He participated in the duel because of the side mission of the Dragon Lady.

The triggering conditions for this task are very stringent.

Only when players bring equipment or abilities with dragon aura to participate in a duel will they attract the attention of the boss of the arena, the dragon lady Liuli.

It is worth mentioning that this astringent dragon lady likes to play role-playing.

The queen of Storm King City, the owner of the arena and casino, and the teaching director of Full Moon Academy are actually just different vests of hers.

This matter was originally not something that players could deduce from the narrative of the fragments until later in the game.

Of course, the conditions for triggering the Dragon Lady branch do not include ten consecutive wins in the arena.

This was Li Cheng's additional operation in order to quickly brush the magic emblem stone, increase the level of dragon transformation, and obtain a powerful piece of equipment.

That piece of equipment was used as a rough material to be synthesized into his favorite weapon.

Anyway, for him, ten consecutive wins is all he needs.

"Hey, hey, hey, even if you don't tell me why you want to participate in the competition, we should go back and prepare now!" Lilith yelled again.

"Hey, stop arguing, I'm fishing." Li Cheng glanced at Lilith.

"fishing?"

"Yes, Huck, the director of the arena, is an extremely narrow-minded character. If I want to win so much money from him, he will definitely not be happy. The killer he sent must have arrived."

Li Cheng looked around, somewhat curious about whose side the killer would be this time.

Is it the Dark Brotherhood, or the Shadow Assassins?

In short, no matter who comes, they will have good equipment.

Fishing for law enforcement and letting the enemy deliver the express to you is much more convenient than going to find them one by one.

Li Cheng and Lilith were chatting, but the surrounding voices became quieter and quieter.

There was obviously no wind, but the kerosene lamp hanging overhead flickered, as if it was about to be blown out.

The gray mist spread up to the ankles along the bumpy asphalt road, and rustling sounds came from the old moss-covered walls.

I don’t know since when, the moon hanging high in the sky disappeared without a trace.

Lilith hid behind Li Cheng like a cat with its fur standing on end. "What, what happened? What happened?"

"I see, is that guy here? It's a good opportunity for me to try out a new style."

Li Cheng looked into the darkness.

She saw a woman whose beautiful body was tightened by a tight suit, wearing a mask, and whose body was almost about to burst the clothes. She was twisting her waist and walking towards her with lotus steps.

She had brown skin, golden hair, and a charming face, which was quite astringent.

But in contrast to her astringent aura, she was holding a human head in her hand.

The elite killer of the Dark Brotherhood - Kara Pichu.

Of course, that was only on the surface.

In fact, the killer's soul had long been dead.

The one controlling her body now was a demon called the Abyss Undead.
