"Do not dwell on that. Who do you think will win this round?" "Of course, it will be Miss Caidie. She is in charge of the casino and has even once adjusted the game to let the Gambler King win. Someone like her, how could she lose to Chen You?" "Well, you never know. Chen You has been exceptionally lucky. Winning so many rounds in a row..." "Heh, don't be silly. Luck is just a thing, what's the use of gambling skills if it all depends on luck?" "You're right." Chen You looked at Caidie indifferently and asked, "How shall we gamble?" "I'll roll the dice and we'll bet on big or small. The outcome is determined in one game." Caidie resumed her usual arrogance and gave a faint confident smile. Chen You nodded indifferently, his deep black eyes devoid of any emotion. In her heart, Caidie thought: Let's see how long your confidence lasts. With that, she reached out with one hand and pressed the handle beside the dice cup. With a press, the dice inside the cup jolted. In an instant, Caidie gripped the edge of the gambling table, looked at Chen You, and a hint of a smile curved her lips. "Let's begin." Chen You glanced at the dice cup. Three, three, four. Eleven, its Big. Chen You shifted his chips and placed them on 'Big'. Seeing this scene, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Caidie's lips. She thought to herself: I want to see if he's cheating. If he's not, and he knows the dice's numbers, there's only one possibility. His hearing is exceptionally sharp, he's a highly trained specialist. But, even if he has great hearing, it is useless against me. Whilst she was thinking, Caidie exerted a strand of her Juewu Power through the gambling table and into the dice cup. Using her uniquely nimble Juewu Power, she grasped one of the dice inside the cup like an extension of her hand and flipped it over. Four turned into two. Three, three, two. Eight, it was now Small. A confident smile filled with self-assurance curved Caidie's lips. When her Juewu Power altered the faces of the dice inside the cup, it was done silently. No matter how good the ear was, anyone would not be able to hear it. In other words, victory was assured. She wasn't afraid of anyone discovering her use of Juewu Power, because no one could imagine that someone could use it so skilfully. Chen You remained unchanged, looking at Caidie indifferently. "It's opened," Caidie revealed a faint smile. The dice cup was opened. Caidie didn't bother to look at the dice inside. She clasped her hands in front of her chest, gazing at Chen You, and said with a smile, "Impressed?" Chen You raised an eyebrow, his eyes still indifferent. "What are you talking about?" Caidie's lips curled upwards, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. "Miss Caidie..." The middle-aged man beside her hastily lowered his voice. "You've lost." Lost? Caidie was taken aback, then she lowered her head to look. The dice showed three, three, four, Eleven, it was Big. Caidie's eyes widened. "No, this can't be! How is this possible?" She looked at Chen You. Impossible! She had clearly altered the orientation of the dice with Juewu Power, but why was the outcome not as she had expected? "You lost? Miss Caidie, did you actually lose?" "Chen You, Chen You... Your luck is ridiculously good." "Could it be that gambling skills are useless in the face of luck?" Caidie's pretty face turned slightly pale, her eyes shimmering. She couldn't understand what had gone wrong. It should have been a guaranteed victory, why did the result change when the dice cup was opened? Chen You said, "Where's the money?" Caidie frowned and said, "Uncle Zhou, prepare ten million in cash for him." "Alright." The middle-aged man nodded slightly. Chen You said indifferently, "Also, do exchange my chips. In total, 258,000 Juewu Coins." The middle-aged man glanced at Chen You but remained silent. He turned and left. "Can you tell me how you did it?" For Caidie, ten million was nothing, but she was very curious about how Chen You won. Chen You looked at Caidie indifferently and said, "Give me another ten million, and I'll tell you." Their eyes locked, and Caidie stared at Chen You's deep eyes that seemed bottomless. She furrowed her brows. "Uncle Zhou, prepare another ten million Juewu Coins!" Chen You looked at Caidie without a word. "Can you tell me now?" Caidie asked, her brows furrowing. "No." Chen You said calmly, "Once the money is in my hands, then I'll tell you." Caidie opened her mouth, but there was were words coming from it. After a while, the middle-aged man returned with two black briefcases from inside. He placed them on the gambling table and opened them. Inside were stacks of red hundred-dollar bills. Chen You glanced at them and checked through them with his hands. "Well, twenty-eight million, two hundred and fifty-eight thousand Juewu Coins. Qianjue Casino was a place who would keep their word." Chen You closed the black briefcases, then lifted them and looked at Caidie. "The method I used was the same as yours." With the briefcases in hand, he walked towards the door. "Since you can alter the die, so I can." Hearing this, Caidie was stunned. This guy... could also change the orientation of the dice?! Lin Xiaojuan, who was standing beside, saw Chen You leaving. She hurriedly caught up with him. Before leaving, Chen You made a detour to the men's restroom. When he came out again, Chen You's hands were empty. Seeing Chen You's empty hands, Lin Xiaojuan was momentarily puzzled. Where did the briefcases go? Hidden in the men's restroom? It couldn't be, right? Those two briefcases were so big. Although she was confused, as Chen You's contract partner, she didn't have the authority to ask. "Do you want to know where the briefcases went?" Chen You suddenly said. Lin Xiaojuan blinked, turning to look at Chen You beside her. Chen You said, "I'll tell you if you want to know. I hid the briefcases in the restroom. It's not convenient to carry them around now. It's better to hide them for now, and take some of it later." Saying this, he turned and walked forward, Lin Xiaojuan followed. Lin Xiaojuan couldn't understand why Chen You would tell her this. And why had he told her without her asking? Whilst pondering on her thoughts, Lin Xiaojuan subconsciously glanced back. She saw that the restroom door, which was originally empty, was suddenly crowded with people. It seemed that they all wanted to enter the men's restroom, but the others seemed to be unwilling to let them in. There was a commotion, and it even escalated into a fight. In an instant, Lin Xiaojuan was stunned. Why were there so many people at the restroom door? Lin Xiaojuan didn't understand. But Chen You knew the reason. Ever since he picked those two briefcases up, a bunch of people had been secretly following him. Their goal, of course, was the twenty million he was holding. Dealing with those people wouldn't be difficult, but it would be a waste of time. So, Chen You felt it was more convenient to shake off these annoying flies using a little trick. As for the briefcases, they were now in the Qiankun Ring. "Where can I buy Yellow Brass Grass? Take me there now," Chen You said. Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaojuan made a sound of acknowledgment. She led the way ahead. The two of them got into a taxi. Lin Xiaojuan mentioned the name of a pharmacy. The taxi started driving. At the same time as the taxi started moving, two men in black rushed out of the casino. Their gazes fell on the back of the departing taxi. The two exchanged a glance. "Let’s chase." The pharmacy wasn't far from here, and they arrived in just fifteen minutes. They got off the car, Chen You glanced at the departing vehicle, then turned to follow Lin Xiaojuan. This iron box was quite formidable, accommodating four people at a time, and its speed could rival a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator. It was quite convenient for traveling. Maybe it's worth considering buying one. "We're here," a voice said beside him. Chen You looked at Lin Xiaojuan, who had stopped ahead, and raised his head to look forward. It was a herbal medicine shop, and the signboard of the shop was inscribed with three lively characters: 'Ji Shi Hall'. "Ji Shi Hall". Chen You stepped inside, pushed open the door, and as soon as he entered the herbal medicine shop, he was hit by a mixture of the scent of Chinese herbs and the musty smell of decaying wood. This scent was something Chen You had grown accustomed to during his cultivation in the Immortal Realm. It didn't really evoke any particular feelings in him. He cast his eyes on the counter, where a fair-skinned, young girl in white coat was standing. When the girl looked at Chen You, with a smile at the corners of her lips. "Is there something you need?" Chen You approached and said, "Give me five stalks of Yellow Brass Grass." Upon hearing the name of the herb, the girl's smile froze for a moment. Her willow leaf-shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I can't make this decision on my own. Please wait for me." Satisfied with his keen sense of hearing, Chen You could hear the girl's voice from inside. "Grandpa, there's a big deal outside!" Big deal? Were Five stalks of Yellow Brass Grass counted as a big deal? If he had bought some of the most precious herbs in the past, would they have been even more astounded? Not long after the voice fell. An old man came out from the back. The old man was dressed in a white martial arts robe, supporting himself with a cane as he walked over. He revealed a smile and greeted Chen You, saying, "Mister, would you like to buy Yellow Brass Grass?" ..
