Gambling Table
"Are the two envoys satisfied with the gifts?"
In the luxuriously decorated private reception room, a gloomy man hugged his fiancée "Miss Forster" and sat on the sofa.
Opposite is the "table" with four legs and the "potted plant" Chun Xiuzhi, who is sitting timidly on the main sofa.
It would have been impossible for them to do this outside given their status and position, but Wu Ci, who was still pretending to be a small gift, was standing by their side, even pouring tea and water for them. They had no idea what Wu Ci was up to, so they didn't dare to move.
"Bonzai" Chun Xiuzhi felt Wu Ci tapping her hand heavily when he brought her tea, and she immediately pretended to be superior and replied to the gloomy man opposite her, "It's a good thing, you are so thoughtful."
"So... the matter of my joining the guild?"
Chun Xiuzhi pretended to be impatient and lifted her hair. An eye attached to a branch of flesh and blood grew from the back of her head and peeked at Wu Ci's expression. After confirming that it was correct, she followed Wu Ci's previous order word for word and said, "Someone will come to notify you to participate in the baptism ceremony for the new member some other day."
The gloomy man was flattered and said, "Thank you. Both I and my fiancée are looking forward to basking in the glory of God."
Wu Fu, who was pretending to be "Miss Foster", exchanged glances with Wu Ci, who was standing behind the sofa: What's going on? Where have you been? Who are these two?
Wu Ci shook his head slightly and gave him a look that told him to stay calm and everything would be safe.
Wu Fu was not too sure about him. He leaned on the gloomy man's arms, biting his cigarette, and turned his head away. He said in a displeased and coquettish voice, "That's my butler. I haven't had enough fun yet. Why did I go to their place?"
"Isa, don't be rude. These are the two envoys of the Seven Sins Council. I heard from Marquis Roland, who often attends banquets with you, that you have always wanted to join the council and join Lord Lust's division. Talk to the two envoys, who knows, you might really be assigned to Lord Lust's division. When the council conquers this world, we will be the heroes."
Wu Fu digested all the information in this sentence without leaving a trace, and kissed the gloomy man hard on the corner of his mouth in surprise, "Hey? Really?"
Wu Ci watched them flirting in silence, feeling a little tired and even unable to bear to watch.
Is this Yu Xuan stupid? Can't he feel the strong muscles under the skirt of his fiancée in his arms?
Although it is indeed not visible on the surface, Wu Ci couldn't bear to see Wu Fu, a muscular man, performing this posture.
He said in a gentle voice, "You two envoys are busy. Now that everything here is done, please leave first."
"Shut up, commoner. Are you making decisions for your superiors?" The gloomy man frowned unhappily and scolded, "You have no right to speak here."
The table and the potted plants looked terrified, fearing that the man would anger Wu Ci and implicate them, and said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay, he's right, we're busy, it's best for us to leave right away... Yes, yes, now, we have to leave now!"
The man hurriedly said, "Why don't you two stay for a quick meal before leaving? Where are you going? I will arrange for a hovercraft to clear the route for you two, and I will make sure that you two envoys arrive on time..."
Chun Xiuzhi, who was adorned with jewels, waved her hands and said, "No, no... We can't delay even a second."
"But the dishes are ready...you two..."
"Enough!" The four legs lowered their voices, and the pressure spread. "Are you teaching us how to do things?"
I thought the man would kneel down and beg for forgiveness immediately, but the gloomy man suddenly calmed down and said in a bad tone, "Have you two decided not to stay?"
"What do you mean? Threaten us?" A dangerous look appeared on the four-legged man's face.
"This is not a threat, it's a notice. You can't leave today."
A gambling table suddenly opened up, separating the man from everyone present, even Wu Fu who had been pretending to be "Miss Foster" in his arms.
"I have wanted to kill you for a long time. Since I became the executive officer, no one has dared to be so condescending to me except Zhen Shanhe!"
The gloomy man pointed at Wu Fu angrily and said, "And you! You dissolute woman! I forgave you for your past behavior and allowed you to bring your male pet to my territory to offend me, but you turned out to be a man! Don't think I can't figure it out! I hate transvestites the most!"
"I thought you couldn't figure it out." Wu Fu spread his hands, regained his masculine voice, turned around and shrugged innocently at Wu Ci, "I miscalculated. According to the information I looked up, it seems that his stepfather dressed him up as a woman before he became the executive officer."
"Shut up, you did it on purpose! You disgusting crossdresser!" The man interrupted him angrily, "I've waited for so many years. Today, I will sacrifice you and all the resentment that this space has accumulated over the years, and use you to exchange for the reward from my lord, Sir Silver! Kill Zhen Shanhe, the guy who treated me like a dog!"
This sudden betrayal of faith left the four legs of the Seven Sins Council and Haru Hidee stunned, "Sir Silver? Don't you believe in my Lord?"
"Who knows what your evil god is? How can he compare to the Silver Lord who can avenge me! You are a bunch of idiots with no clear mind. Which cult can be promoted and hated by everyone like you?"
Upon hearing the man's description and criticism of the Seven Sins Council, Wu Ci had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. He seemed to know who the Seven Sins Council was worshipping.
A fool who relies on his looks to get to the top, who is hated by everyone, and who is confused... Isn't this how Tianjizi describes the disciples of Tianji Dao?
Who else could this member of the Seven Sins Council be if not the stupid beauty favored by Yuanjixing Tianzun? Lord Silver! Why would Lord Silver have so many outrageous demands? Lord Silver doesn't care about looks! He only wants ignorant humans who obey his orders!
While Wuci was thinking, two people from the Seven Sins Council glanced at him secretly.
Hiss—the arrogant man is angry!
This Yuxuan is really a jerk! He actually insulted the main god of the council in front of the arrogant master! He wantonly attacked their promotion system!
However, they were the first to recruit Yu Xuan, but he turned out to be a traitor from another sect. Lord Pride will not purge them all at once, right?
No, you have to perform well and make up for your sins!
"You are such a bold lunatic! How dare you slander the Supreme God! We will get rid of you today for the future of mankind!"
The "table" put its four legs together, put its hands together, and snapped its fingers to form a formation!
Huge flesh and blood branches that look like countless hands spread out from the "potted plant" Chun Xiuzhi's body.
Wu Fu moved to Wu Ci's side without him noticing and whispered, "Don't attack yet. Let these two idiots try to figure out the situation while we think of a way to get out."
"It's gambling." Wu Ci analyzed, "He has been running this place for several years, and all the resentment he has received comes from gamblers. Gamblers will never leave unless they lose all their wealth.
Besides, he believed in Lord Silver, so this gambling game was just like Lord Silver's chess game. It would not end unless one side completely lost everything and died.
Just wait and see. According to the rules, a simple attack will not work. You have to know that casinos are violent institutions. Otherwise, how can you calm down those crazy gamblers?"
As expected, the two members of the Seven Sins Council launched a massive attack and hit the gambling table in front, but did not harm the shadowy man behind.
"It's useless. I have been running this gambling game for more than 20 years. It was a gift from the cult that I accidentally received. This is the power of the gods! From the moment you accepted my bribe, you entered the game. All your attacks will only become bargaining chips. You may even become bargaining chips. And I have never lost!"
The attack touched the table and turned into jingling silver chips.
As a result, the two were forced to be suppressed by the rules, attached to the top of the gaming table, and compressed into two piles of silver chips.
As expected of a disciple of Tianzun, he lost even though he was so much stronger than his opponent. He didn't know how to think first. It turned out that we couldn't count on these two idiots who only had faces...
Waste has no right to live, so Wu Ci spared no effort for the two idiots at the gambling table, patted his five talismans, and said, "Use them as chips, and go to the gambling table."
"You're not going?"
"I have never had much interest in this, and my luck is always bad."
"Okay, I'll go then. I want to see how complicated the thing that killed my mother is."
After a moment, all the chips in front of Wu Fu were used up. His eyes turned red, and the expensive dress he wore while pretending to be "Miss Foster" also turned into a chip and was used up.
He said in a low voice, "Again!"
"What else can you bet with me?" The gloomy man sat across from the gaming table, which was filled with a large pile of newly won chips.
The man lit a cigar and sneered, "Young man, what I am most proud of is my luck. I have won all my life and never lost. If you gamble again, it will be your fate."
Wu Fu's red eyes looked across the gaming table to the man, and his gaze remained empty on the gaming table.
In his sight, there, a young prostitute covered in scars was standing where he was, willing to be dismembered and turned into chips in his hand, hoping to win a game and pay for his child's tuition.
The prostitute, who was always cheated but hoped that her child could climb to the top of society through studying, was covered in blood, but she smiled foolishly and handed the chip to him with the two broken fingers of her only remaining hand.
Wu Fu spread out his palms and looked at what was in his hands.
——It seemed as if there was a chip stained with my mother’s blood.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he said hoarsely, "My organs, my body, and even me can all be used as bargaining chips, including my heroic spirit. I don't believe you will always win."
Wu Ci noticed that something was wrong with Wu Fu's condition, as if he was affected by the resentment of the gamblers at the table.
He walked forward and pressed the five talismans to declare that he was a spirit guardian and could use the heroic spirits as collateral.
"Stop, you are affected, get off."
"Let me go!" Wu Fu struggled, obviously getting angry.
Wu Ci raised his hand like a knife and knocked him unconscious.
"Go to sleep for a while, and I will take care of the rest."
The gloomy man across the gambling table blew out a puff of cigar smoke coolly, "You want to gamble on his behalf? A low-level person, have you ever been to a gambling table?"
The man's words made Wu Ci pause, and he recalled some memories from his previous life.
He went to the table once, just once.
When he was a child in an orphanage, he actually had an adoptive parent.
Illegal adopter.
The man's exact name was unclear, Wu Ci only knew that others called him Master Yu San.
Master Yu San did not say that he wanted to adopt Wu Ci, he just asked Wu Ci if he was willing to learn something from him.
Wu Ci didn't care about it. As long as Master Yu San provided meals, he would follow Master Yu San and do whatever he was told to do.
Master Yu San said that he would teach him the most amazing magic in the world, and everyone said that Master Yu San was going to choose a successor.
Later, Wu Ci discovered that Master Yu San was a gambler and the only thing he had taught him was cheating.
Although this is what he was taught, Master Yu San took Wu Ci to so many casinos but never let him sit at the gambling table.
Master Yu San said that this is to cultivate one's mind and character.
There are tens of thousands of gamblers in the world, and every gambler wants to win when he sits at the gambling table. If he wants to win, he can't help but cheat. If he doesn't master the skills of deceiving others and changing his mind, he will be caught sooner or later.
However, Master Yu San, who said this, is dead. He was always successful in gambling, but he lost in reality.
When Wu Ci saw him for the last time, he said that in the gambling game, if you want to win, you have to be the "king", otherwise you should not go to the table, or you will be eaten by bigger cards.
In fact, at that time, Wu Ci really wanted to say something: the biggest "king" was actually a little clown.
But seeing Master Yu San's serious expression, he didn't say much.
Later, Wu Ci saw the news of Master Yu San's death in the newspaper.
The newspaper said that "Yu Ping", who was about to inherit the chairmanship of Tianji Group, died in an accident and his son "Yu Jue" was also missing. If the son could not be found, all the property would be inherited by the side branch of his younger brother's line.
But that's life.
Life is a gamble, and everyone is a gambler holding bloody chips.
Wu Ci has never been to a gambling table, but he is always at the gambling table.
He sat on the gambling table, dug out an eye and threw it on the table, which had turned into silver chips. "What are you playing?"
The gloomy man across the gambling table watched his eyes slowly regenerate in his eye sockets and sneered, "Draw the trump cards and see who draws the king first."
"By the way, you gouged out my eyes right away. Where's the chip I gave you to enter the casino?"
"I hate gamblers, so I threw it away." Wu Ci smiled and wiped his hands casually, picked up the cards on the table, and shuffled them quickly with his ten fingers. It was almost impossible to see the afterimage. He piled the shuffled cards into a pile and pushed them to the center of the table. He stretched out his hand and lined them up, "Please, sir."
The man opposite raised his head and looked at him.
The man knew that Wu Ci had replaced all the cards at that moment.
The original stack of cards on the table has subtle markings on the back of each card.
On the other side, there is a master.
Looking at the way Wu Ci shuffles the cards, you can tell that the basis of cheating is almost like deliberately showing off one's skills: fake shuffling, jump shuffling, twisting shuffling... perfect shuffling, etc.
He can draw any card he wants from the 54 cards. Even if someone stares at him without blinking and slows down his hand several times, they still can't tell.
Maybe the trump card is already in the opponent's hand.
"No more smoking. There's no technical content for you. Let's roll the dice."
"Oh? What number do you want?" Wu Ci picked up the dice cup, tested the feel of the five dice inside, and threw them up at random, "Five?"
Open the cup, five ones.
"six?"
Open the cup, four ones and one two.
"seven?"
"That's enough!" The man grabbed the dice cup and said, "I'll shake it and you guess."
"It's useless," Wu Ci chuckled, "Even if you come, I can still hear the numbers inside... and it's almost time."
"What?"
Before he finished speaking, the space shattered and Zhen Shanhe, dressed in a black military uniform, stepped in. In his hand was the silver chip that Wu Ci had just said he had "thrown away".
The gloomy man was instantly pressed to the ground, his expression in pain, unable to struggle. The electronic cuffs on his wrists emitted a fierce electric shock sound, rendering his nerve endings ineffective, and he could not even summon the Heroic Spirit.
The rules here were broken by Zhen Shanhe with his absolute power.
Wu Ci stepped down from the gambling table, bowed his head and saluted Zhen Shanhe, then handed over the USB flash drive in his hand. "Chief Zhen, this is the evidence that Senior Yu Xuan joined the Seven Sins Council. He also said he wanted to kill you. I recorded it."
"If it's a disobedient dog, just kill it. You can do with the spoils as you wish."
Zhen Shanhe casually crushed the USB flash drive, sat on the sofa beside him, and raised his eyes to signal Wu Ci to take action.
The golden spirit of "Chu Ci" emerged from the void, raised the sword, and chopped off the head of the man who had no chance to resist.
Zhen Shanhe, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Wu Ci's current appearance coldly, then looked at Wu Fu who was lying unconscious on the ground after being stripped naked, and said in a hoarse voice, "Put your clothes in order, send Wu Fu away, and come with me to a place. That old woman Ines wants to see you."
Wu Ci paused as he picked up the fallen card and said, "Yes."
A capitalist who looks at least 30 years old actually dares to call his 100-year-old daughter an old woman! You old man, wait for death!
