Chapter 116: I'm All-In!
Two characters.
Understated.
Yet it made the air inside the casino solidify again.
Wait?
What are you waiting for?
Let them wash their necks clean and wait for death?!
Su Ming didn't look at those trembling background figures.
"Old Sir."
"That pawn sacrifice to protect the rook—you're playing it quite smoothly, huh?"
【Gambler】 didn't respond.
Under that half-Buddha, half-ghost mask, the cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly.
He... had a very bad premonition!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Su Ming pressed his fingers harder, tapping the table repeatedly.
"I already said, since you're here, you should enjoy to the fullest."
"You want to leave..."
"Did you ask me?"
Boom!
The murderous intent was no longer concealed, instantly engulfing the entire casino!
When the plot runs out, the dagger appears!
"You... you can't do this!"
【Crying Mask】 masked woman screamed, her voice splitting from extreme terror.
"This is the casino's Rule!"
"After three rounds, staying or leaving is voluntary! You can't force us to stay!"
"Rule?"
Su Ming smiled.
He smiled brightly, eerily.
"Well said!"
"I'm the most Rule-abiding person!"
"In a casino, naturally one must follow the casino's regulations."
"We're all respectable people; playing those childish little games, how dull is that?"
"If you want to play..."
"Then play the big one!"
His entire aura locked onto the elder on the throne.
"【Gambler】, right?"
"I'm going all-in with you..."
"Play 【Life-and-Death Game】!"
When those words were spoken, the whole venue fell silent again.
【Life-and-Death Game】?!
Just hearing those three words can freeze one's blood, extremely deadly!
But...
Where does such a thing exist?!
Only the 【Gambler】 on the throne suddenly stiffened.
He... indeed knew!
He even saw through the deepest hidden Rule of this casino!
【When a player wins two or more consecutive rounds and judges the current game to be uninteresting.】
【Can forcibly initiate an all-in—】
【Life-and-Death Game】!
Sizzle—!
The luxurious crystal chandelier above suddenly went out.
A thick, blood-like crimson light appeared, streaming down from the ceiling.
Clack clack clack!
The White Bone Roulette at the center of the gambling table twisted and reassembled wildly.
A massive, black, ancient scale exuding a strong ominous aura finally manifested!
At each end of the scale hung an iron cage just big enough for one person.
The cage pillars were engraved with dense curse runes.
In the void, blood-dripping large characters floated, proclaiming the ultimate Rule.
【Life-and-Death Game Rules:】
1. Only two participants! The initiator and the challenger each enter opposite sides of the cage!
2. The scale activates, cutting off all interference!
3. Game format: pure chance (death roulette/compare sizes)!
4. Winner: takes everything from the loser (including but not limited to life, soul, memories, items)!
5. Loser: erased on the spot! Concept‑level deletion!
Deathly silence.
True deathly silence.
Apart from the faint lingering tremor of the scale, there is no other sound.
What is this…
Erase.
Concept‑level deletion.
No chance to be reborn, absolute void!
Madman!
This damn thing is a complete madman!
Just because it's not satisfying, you drag the casino owner into a life‑or‑death game?!
"Huff…"
From the throne, a heavy gasp of the Gambler came.
He stared intently at Su Ming.
Trying to find even a hint of bluff on that young face.
He has gambled his whole life.
He has won mountains of gold and seas of silver, and also lost everything down to a single pair of underwear.
Then he stepped on everyone's heads again, reaching the summit.
Every time, he dared to follow.
But today, he hesitated.
Because he cannot see through at all!
Opposite him sits not a person.
It is a bottomless abyss!
Follow?
Lose and it's endless damnation!
Not follow?
Prestige swept away, becoming a laughingstock!
"What's the matter, you old immortal!"
Su Ming leaned forward, his smile growing colder, pressing step by step.
"Afraid?"
"Aren't you a Gambler?"
"Don't you love betting small for big, seeking thrills?"
He pointed at the iron cage covered with runes.
"Come!"
"The greatest thrill is right here!"
"Enter, we'll decide fate in one round!"
"You wouldn't be too scared, would you?"
Boom!
Those words completely shattered the Gambler's last mental barrier.
He… doesn't dare.
Coward!
"Alas…"
A hoarse sigh came out, full of unwillingness and compromise.
"The younger generation is fearsome…"
The Gambler slumped on the throne, instantly drained of spirit and vigor.
"This round…"
"I, the old one, concede!"
I admit defeat!
The legendary Lord of the Fate Casino.
On his own turf, he was driven back by a youngster!
The Clown and others gaped, their minds a blank.
Heaven…
Collapsed!
Yet.
Before they could even process it.
The Gambler's voice suddenly sharpened, raging with angry shame!
He suddenly raised both hands high and slammed them hard onto the throne's armrest!
The throne's radiance glittered brilliantly!
"In the name of the Lord of the Casino!"
"Reject the Life‑and‑Death Game!"
"Forcefully activate the Ultimate Rule—"
"'Equality of Destiny, Equality of All Beings'!!!"
Buzz—!
With his roar.
The casino's crimson lights instantly shifted to a dark‑gold hue!
The newly formed Scale of Death collapsed in an instant.
A golden gambling table large enough to cover the entire hall materialized out of thin air!
The irresistible power of the Rule descended.
Everyone, including the Clown, was pressed hard onto their seats, unable to move!
The new Rule domineered, occupying every inch of space!
"Ultimate Rule: Equality of Destiny, Equality of All Beings"
"【1. All participants forced to join! No mid‑game exit!】"
"【2. The highest Chip holder becomes the Banker! The Banker has unlimited betting rights! Chips are displayed numerically!】"
"【3. The idle players must unconditionally call! Bet values must equal the Banker's!】"
"【4. Those lacking assets… forced to open Abyssal credit! Repayment in installments from future earnings, with overdue interest!】"
Having read the Rule.
The Crying Mask‑wearing woman rolled her eyes and was instantly frightened into faintness.
The other few people fared no better; their gazes dim, trembling like sifted chaff.
It's over!
This isn't credit.
This is a Servitude Contract!
They insisted on courting death; why did they follow here!
Originally it was leisurely and unhurried.
Now it's a frantic scramble, rolling and crawling!
Once you lose, it's no better than death!
"Heh…"
Su Ming watched the newly manifested Rule.
He smiled.
He smiled so broadly his shoulders lifted, feeling exhilarated.
He bet correctly!
The reason he pressed the old man for his identity in the second round was, of course, because the Eye of Truth had already seen through everything!
In his sight.
On the seemingly unremarkable Calm‑masked old man, countless densely tangled Golden Silk Threads were connected.
These threads extended to every corner of the casino!
And the leaping Clown had only a pitiful few thin threads.
Who is master, who is servant, clear at a glance!
Moreover.
The Eye of Truth also let him see the final two hidden Rules!
Forcefully initiate the Life‑and‑Death Game!
And this Equality of Destiny, Equality of All Beings, which only the master can activate!
His series of seemingly mad palace‑pressuring actions.
Had only one purpose—
To draw the snake out of its hole!
To force this death‑afraid, unwilling‑to‑fight old fox.
In a hopeless situation, he proactively activated the Equality of Destiny, Equality of All Beings that can forcibly replace a 1v1 Life‑and‑Death Game!
To maximize his own benefit!
As for the Gambler, if he gets hot‑headed and accepts the Life‑and‑Death Game, what then?
Ha!
Su Ming didn't know whether he could win under that Rule.
But one thing he was sure of…
If he can't win, would he still flip the table?!
The Soul Dagger glowed, instantly tearing the casino apart!
Having backing and no fear is the greatest confidence!
"Mr. Jing."
Above the throne, the Gambler regained composure, his voice icy.
"Will you be the Banker?"
