Chapter 121: Banker Takes All! Legendary Compass!
"You... you..."
Clown (Opera Role) collapsed on the ground, frantically clawing at his own hair, looking insane.
"Cheating! This is cheating!"
"I disagree! I'll report it! I want to see the referee!"
"Heh!"
Su Ming was too lazy for idle talk.
Buzz—!
The farce ended.
The golden gambling table trembled, erupting in dazzling light.
This is the victor's coronation!
It is also the loser's death knell!
【Straight Flush of Fate, settlement complete!】
【Banker points: 65】
【Player points: 65】
【Result: Banker takes all!】
Whoosh!
Except for that woman who had long submitted.
In the chip area before the other six, the numbers began to plunge wildly.
【-5000……】
【-……】
【-】!
……
One hundred thousand chips vanished instantly.
This is the first wave of forced repayment!
The rest?
Take it slow!
Compound interest, rolling interest, how about abyssal high‑interest loans?
The casino fell into total chaos.
Breaking down in tears, cursing loudly, stunned like a wooden chicken…
All manner of beings displayed vividly.
That Anger‑masked man didn't even have 100,000 chips of his own.
At this moment, a crimson slave mark floated directly above his head!
【Insufficient assets! Forced activation of abyssal credit!】
【If not replenished within seven days, will forever become the creditor's slave, no dissent allowed, no rebirth!】
A true Servitude Contract!
"Not bad, not bad!"
Su Ming slowly rose, stretching lazily with pleasure.
He looked at the Gambler frozen on the throne, his smile sincere.
"Old man, heed my brother's counsel."
"The water here is too deep; you can't grasp it."
He never cheats elders, never hits girls.
Just a pity.
The Gambler isn't a girl!
Crying Mask woman, Depressed Mask woman, are also not elders!
"Casino, keep an eye for me, then hand over the ledger later."
"Oh right, next time there's another High-end Game..."
"Remember to call me!"
This round…
Winning feels comfortable, so fat it drips oil!
Clack clack clack—!
As the gambling match completely ended.
Cracks began to appear in the surrounding space, the golden‑splendid casino gradually dissipated like smoke.
The cold mist of the wilderness surged back in.
The Gambler's murky eyes stared fixedly at Su Ming, lips quivering.
He seemed to want to utter a couple of lines for show, to regain a bit of the boss's dignity.
Even if he lost his underwear…
He still remains a powerful force, still has a chance to make a comeback!
But when he met Su Ming's eyes, indifferent as an abyss…
All his words rotted in his stomach.
Now's the time to spit harsh words?
He feared that the next second Su Ming would follow the network line to his doorstep and blow him away outright!
Human resources are sometimes exhausted!
But this Mandate of Heaven…
In the end, it changes the master!
A strong sense of weightlessness arrived.
The mist dispersed.
Su Ming once again saw his surroundings clearly.
He still sat inside the cockpit of the Ying Dragon.
Tick… tick…
Outside the window, Gray Rain kept falling.
It seemed as if that heart‑pounding high‑stakes gamble earlier was just him dozing in the pilot seat and having a bizarre, surreal dream.
"Heh!"
Dream?
Whose dream could be this exhilarating?!
Su Ming pulled two small biscuits from the co‑pilot's stash, shoved them into his mouth, and gulped a mouthful of AD calcium milk.
Sweet‑and‑sour, his favorite.
"So that Fate Casino… is a domain‑type artifact?"
He gazed at the rain curtain outside, his eyes playful.
Whether to say it or not, this artifact is a bit over‑powered!
If he were to rate it, even Legendary level couldn't block it!
Myth level?
Doesn't seem like it either!
It lacks that sense of a law that suppresses everything.
Then…
Su Ming squinted and lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips.
The Fate Casino is an extremely rare, over‑powered Qualified Sequence?!
The Gambler is also a Qualified Person?!
"It's getting more and more interesting…"
The water of this world is murkier than he imagined.
Qualified Person…
Seems to be increasing.
Zhao Gang's daughter Xing He, that suddenly vanished shadow.
Xia Weiwei's Infinite Green, that woman's Dream Ingress.
Various signs indicate the awakening of Qualified Persons is not instantaneous.
They are more like blind boxes buried deep within the human body.
Some start at the peak.
Others require specific stimuli, waiting for a chance to break through!
"The murkier the water, the better…"
Su Ming's mouth curled into a cold smile.
When the water is murky, it's easier for the big fish to eat the small fish!
A thought flickered, and Su Ming opened the Dimensional Reduction Warehouse.
Whoosh!
Countless Chips at that moment transformed into assorted artifacts, piling into a small hill.
This was the down payment forcibly stripped from those unlucky fools during the earlier gamble settlement.
"These guys really prepared quite thoroughly…"
Even with his current perspective, his breathing couldn't help but quicken a bit.
He grabbed one at random; each was an Epic-level longbow of prime attributes.
Anyone who could be pulled onto that table was certainly no lightweight!
"Too bad, the Gambler holds over 400,000 Chips in total!"
"Now of the 100,000 he gave me, they're all miscellaneous junk!"
"The truly good stuff… is still in his hands!"
Su Ming quickly tallied the loot.
Even Epic-level items number a full twenty‑eight pieces!
What made his heart race most was that flash of dazzling gold!
Legendary-level artifact!
"Great prosperity!"
Su Ming's mouth corner was harder to suppress than an AK.
Most of the artifacts meant little to him; later he could feed them directly to the Crimson Throne.
He had a vague premonition.
That match‑eating guy is about to be fed enough to evolve!
Su Ming took out the two most special items among them.
The first was a red letter that glowed with an eerie violet light.
【Name: Third Act Invitation Letter (Series Item)】
【Quality: Epic】
【Function: Single-use consumable! When used on a target, it plunges them into extreme ecstasy, causing them to lose all perception of the outside world for 3 seconds!】
"This thing…"
"And the Fourth Act Ticket—it's literally a twin brother!"
One is extreme fear!
The other is extreme ecstasy!
The Fourth Act comes from the Theatre of Sorrow; what about the Third Act?
Joyful Plaza, perhaps?
Su Ming shook his head and carefully put the invitation letter away.
He has always thought that as long as this series of items is collected…
…there will be a huge surprise!
Then Su Ming's gaze locked onto the other item in his hand!
A simple brass compass!
【Trace Compass】
【Quality】: Legendary
【Function】: Can locate any known existence! Including but not limited to altars, living beings, locations, Calamity sources! The stronger the target, the longer the cooldown! The needle will forever point to the target's current position! The closer the distance, the faster it spins!
"Sss—!"
Su Ming inhaled a cold gasp.
At first glance, this thing looks plain and unremarkable.
It feels somewhat unfit for a Legendary-level item.
But upon closer inspection…
It's literally a Karma-level cheat!
"Can locate any known existence…"
Su Ming rubbed the compass's cold shell, and a sharp gleam exploded in his eyes.
In the apocalypse, what is most valuable?
Information!
Think of that 【】 altar!
Whoever controls the information controls the initiative!
Just imagine.
When the enemy is still flailing around the world like a headless fly searching for you.
You can, across thousands of mountains and rivers, pinpoint exactly where they are taking a dump!
Pre‑emptive ambush, long‑range sniping, flanking theft…
All in a single thought!
Moreover, it can be used to locate hidden high‑tier altars and special Calamity events…
Once mastered, its value surpasses that of gear that merely boosts combat power by several dimensions!
"Huh…"
Suddenly, Su Ming's breathing became unbearably heavy.
A thought suppressed for a long time grew wildly like weeds, occupying his entire mind!
"Since it can locate everything…"
"Then can I directly ask…"
"The true culprit who killed my parents…"
"Where exactly is he/she?!"
