The gambler rolled two 4s on both dice, which means his total for this round is 8!
Even if one of the dice shows the highest number 6, as long as the two dice show different numbers, Wips is still two points behind the gambler!
Wips' eyes widened: "You cheated, didn't you?!"
Of course, he was just saying that in such a contractual duel, neither humans nor strange creatures have any chance to cheat.
The flesh and blood dice are merely a tool for gambling between the two parties and are not under the control of the gambler.
"Let's give it our all!"
Wips then threw out the two dice in his hand. The flesh dice rolled twice on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
Two o'clock, five o'clock.
According to the rule of taking the maximum value, Wips now has five points, which is obviously not enough.
He has one last chance to choose whether to roll the die in his hand; only by rolling a five can he win!
With a determined look, Wips declared, "I choose to roll the third die!"
The gambler's smile widened; a one-in-six chance wasn't something so easy to win!
"Pay it to me!"
The dice rolled and finally came to rest on a dot.
It seems that Lady Luck doesn't want to favor Wips.
He gave an awkward laugh and gestured to Jiang Ran to shoot if he noticed anything amiss!
"Looks like Wips isn't having much luck this time."
"What a joke! If you all watched the replays of the previous few episodes of the Ghost Stories World, you would have found that his luck has never been very good."
The atmosphere in the live stream was quite lighthearted. They shared the same thought as Weips: with Jiang Ran's Demon Hunter pistol, it didn't matter if they lost.
Jiang Ran covered her forehead, unsure of what to say.
Don't worry, brother. I'll burn incense for you during the Qingming Festival. Oh right, it seems like Beilian doesn't celebrate the Qingming Festival, so never mind.
The gambler won the first round, and Weps rolled the third die without winning, which means his score in the second round will be reduced by one!
"I refuse to believe my luck is that bad!"
This time, Wips was the first to throw the dice, but the dice seemed even less cooperative than before, rolling two and three respectively.
"Holy crap, does my luck have to be this bad?"
"Brother Jiang, you can prepare to fire."
"We suggest that Wips take a detour when he encounters an individual in the future."
"Then I'm sorry..."
The gambler's expression had become somewhat frantic, and he couldn't wait to throw the dice in his hand!
Little by little.
Good news, it forms a pair; bad news, even a pair is useless.
Adding two dots together only gives you two points. Wips has 3 points this round, and after subtracting one, he has 2 points, so both sides have the same number of points!
In this situation, the first two dice rolls by both sides are invalidated, and the winner is determined by the third die!
"Now I know why this gambler had his left hand chopped off; it's hard not to lose with that kind of luck."
"See, this is the result of blindly pursuing pairs. What I mean is, we can disagree, but he has to be big."
"Uh, get out of the live stream, upstairs!"
While the live streamers were still chatting, the two sides in the betting game had already rolled their third die!
Wips, four o'clock!
Gambler, two o'clock!
The gambler angrily pounded the ground. How could he lose such a great situation? He hadn't had a proper meal in ages!
A passing staff member walked over and slapped him twice: "Don't damage our inn's floor!"
This old man isn't a guest, so the staff aren't going to give him a friendly look.
"I'll bet! I'm going to bet! I'm sure I can turn things around in the last round!"
The gambler had gone completely mad; he didn't want to wait any longer and hastily started the final round of gambling!
Six o'clock, six o'clock!
Wips' face darkened. What was he even doing?
"Damn, this old man has thrown out pairs for three rounds in a row, right? Is he really that lucky?"
"Is it possible that Wips was just having bad luck?"
"Sharpshooter Brother Jiang is about to go online."
Jiang Ran silently mourned for Weipus.
Hoping he might also roll two sixes, Wips threw the dice in his hand.
One point, two points.
"What kind of lousy dice? Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?!"
Weps had completely given up, so he simply threw the third die. He figured he couldn't win even if he got a pair, so he might as well let Jiang Ran take care of him.
The dice slowly came to a stop, and the gambler's smile instantly froze.
Three points.
Holy crap! Awesome!
"I thought the gambler was cheating, but it turns out it was you who was cheating!"
A straight beats a pair, no matter how high the pair's score is!
Wips rolled three dice that formed the numbers one, two, and three, which meant he had the only winning hand!
"Hahaha! Old man, are you still going to bet with me?"
The gambler clutched his head and roared, seemingly unable to accept the reality, but quickly returned to normal after the rules were adjusted.
"Rule Seven: The inn is recruiting staff. Those who are interested can wear volunteer uniforms directly. This rule is correct."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gambler sank into the ground and disappeared.
While Wips was still basking in the joy of his victory, Jiang Ran briefly shared the information Lin Changqing had given him, which brought his thoughts back to the world of supernatural tales.
“In other words, we need to go into the warehouse to find that parrot, but we can’t go into the warehouse.” Wips pondered for a moment, “If there’s no other way, I can just delete this rule.”
It's a bit of a shame to waste such a unique opportunity.
"The world of ghost stories doesn't have levels that require a certain talent to pass. Simply deleting them is one method, but it's definitely not the only one!"
Jiang Ran continued, "Perhaps the key to this rule is not restricting us from entering the warehouse, but rather restricting people other than staff from entering the warehouse!"
Is there anything different?
Jiang Ran's words almost confused Weipus.
"Have you forgotten the information the gambler just provided?"
"What did he just say? I was too excited and forgot to listen."
Dude, if you're the only one left, what's the point of winning this bet?
Jiang Ran remained silent for a moment, then repeated the gambler's words to Weipus before continuing his explanation.
"The factions and identities in the inn are never fixed. We can go from being guests to being lost or infected, and of course, there are ways to become staff members!"
Wips nodded: "Then where should we find these so-called volunteer uniforms?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be at the front desk!"
The two walked quickly to the front desk, but the staff member who was guarding the counter disappeared again. After searching under the counter for a while, they finally found the neatly folded work uniforms!
Tucked beneath the work uniform was a "Staff Handbook".
