Chapter 274

Sophia stared at Lin Ye with a shocked expression.

Have her go up? He must be joking!

"Cough, cough, that joke isn't very funny, Brother Ling, don't scare me!"

She squeezed out a smile and shook Ling, acting a bit shy.

"I'm not joking, it's real; you need to go up later."

He's actually serious!

"If you want high returns without bearing the corresponding high risks, such a good thing doesn't exist in this world."

Sophia knew the logic in what Lin Ye said, but she was definitely worried about participating in such a high-risk gambling activity; she was gambling with her own life.

"What did you promise earlier? If you're afraid, just take the fifty Eerie Coins and leave here!"

Lin Ye's words drew the attention of several nearby Eerie.

Fifty Eerie Coins really isn't a small amount here.

Sophia gritted her teeth, hesitant.

Leave the casino now with fifty Eerie Coins and return to reality? She really couldn't bear to.

She suddenly fell into a dilemma.

She could already leave the casino and return to reality, but should she just give up like this?

Thinking of the many good items, weapons, and skills in the redemption catalog, should she just give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and leave?

Sophia was not resigned!

Once she left now, would she have another chance to come to the 'Royal Casino'? Even if she did come, could she rely on herself to win so many Eerie Coins?

Impossible.

After a few seconds of hesitation and inner conflict, Sophia hardened her heart, stamped her foot, and made her decision.

"I trust you. If I die and become an Eerie, I will definitely find you first thing and haunt you for the rest of my life."

She decided to take the gamble.

At least she felt this man wouldn't treat her as a mere consumable to test the 'Soul-Eating Shark's' operational patterns.

Watching the Soul-Eating Shark, which was still closing its mouth and enjoying the taste of the Cat-Head Eerie's body and soul, Sophia swallowed hard, suppressing the feeling of discomfort in her heart.

Although she was an experienced player, realizing that one wrong step meant death, the inner fear and cowardice regarding death continued to spread.

As an Eerie player, being afraid isn't terrible; what's terrible is being unable to face the fear, sinking into that fearful emotion, and losing one's reason and judgment.

As an Eerie player, one must overcome fear to defeat the Eerie and successfully survive.

"Die and become an Eerie to haunt me? Very good! I welcome it."

Sophia was stunned.

"I wonder what kind of Eerie item you could provide me? A cow? Producing fresh milk daily? One cup a day? I could save on my daily milk money from now on."

Sophia:???

Even if this man wanted to ease the atmosphere and her negative tension, he didn't have to go this far!

"Tell me your contact address, and I'll order fresh milk to be sent to you every day."

After Sophia finished speaking, she deliberately puffed out her chest; a certain pair of large mounds trembled constantly, and even the eyes of the surrounding Eerie, who still held some human emotions, couldn't help but take a few extra looks.

Sophia had already made her decision in her heart.

Wealth is sought in danger; she would go for it.

The casino staff at the Soul-Eating Shark area were not in a hurry to start the next round of gambling, seemingly because the Soul-Eating Shark needed more time to digest the delicious soul of the Cat-Head Eerie.

Five minutes later,

The Soul-Eating Shark slowly opened its eyes, and under the staff's signaling and operation, it slowly opened its bloody maw once again.

And the teeth in its mouth that had been dented by the strikes had all returned to normal.

Twenty-one teeth, arranged neatly, with faint bloodstains and residue silently telling of the cruel reality that had occurred here just a moment ago.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The casino staff clapped to signal.

"The latest round of the Soul-Eating Shark game is ready. It starts now; guests who wish to participate voluntarily, please come here to sign up."

However, it seemed no Eerie on the scene wanted to participate.

Lin Ye pulled Sophia's wrist and came before the staff.

The staff had long noticed these two humans, Lin Ye and Sophia; seeing them come up on stage, their eyes moved, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Do the two guests wish to participate in this round of the 'Soul-Eating Shark game'? Participants need to provide at least 50 Eerie Coins."

"No, just her,"

Lin Ye pointed at Sophia,

"However, the Eerie Coins we are providing total 135,"

He stuffed all 77 Eerie Coins he had in his hand into Sophia's hand.

The 135 Eerie Coins shimmered with an alluring luster, drawing the eager gazes of many guests.

"135 Eerie Coins. Which guest is willing to participate together? If you win, you can obtain 135 Eerie Coins,"

The staff began to call out.

There was discussion among the crowd below; some guests were tempted, but none stepped forward. The biggest reason was that no Eerie could produce 135 Eerie Coins at once.

Seeing this, Lin Ye took the initiative to speak, attracting the attention of the audience on the scene.

"If any guest wants to participate in the event but lacks the corresponding Eerie Coins, it is actually perfectly fine to do this: just have other guests contribute to make up the 135 Eerie Coins."

"The guests who contribute, if he wins, can obtain the corresponding Eerie Coins as a reward according to the proportion of their contribution,"

"For example, if I participate in this event and win, and a certain guest sponsors me ten Eerie Coins, I will return the 10 Eerie Coin principal and also give a reward of 5 Eerie Coins,"

"It's equivalent to the guest being able to enjoy the 'Soul-Eating Shark' game while also potentially earning Eerie Coins. Even if they lose, the guest at most only loses a few Eerie Coins and will not be in any life-threatening danger."

Many gamblers were tempted; it was tense and exciting. If they guessed right, they could earn Eerie Coins, and even if they lost, it was just the loss of a few Eerie Coins, without the danger of their own death.

The Eerie surrounding the 'Soul-Eating Shark' were mostly there to enjoy the moment the shark bit down to feed, and now that humans were going to participate, this made them even more excited than seeing an Eerie die.

If no one came on stage and there were no corresponding Eerie Coins, this human probably wouldn't be able to participate.

Whispers and low murmurs surrounded the gamblers as they communicated in different ways.

Suddenly,

A skinny, one-eyed Eerie emerged.

It came here just to try its luck, but it had lost most of the Eerie Coins it had saved up. Rather than losing everything and leaving, it was better to give it one last shot.

With the contributions of many Eerie,

The number of Eerie Coins in the skinny, one-eyed Eerie's hand grew more and more.

And several Eerie came before Lin Ye, stuffing five or ten Eerie Coins into his hand respectively.

Clearly, these Eerie had determined that he had a higher probability of winning and chose to invest in him.

This behavior further triggered the reactions of the other Eerie.

Lin Ye immediately spoke up,

"Two hundred and fifty Eerie Coins. We are currently one hundred short of two hundred Eerie Coins. We can still accept bets of up to one hundred Eerie Coins from everyone."

Many Eerie took their Eerie Coins and stuffed them into Lin Ye's hand.
