Chapter 202: Fifty million to buy a lesson? No, to buy your life!

~7 min read 1,240 words

On the gambling table, the air was sweltering.

"As usual... all in!"

Two words, lightly spoken from beneath that ridiculous smiling mask.

No hesitation, no testing.

【Magu】 extended her scallion-white jade-like finger, like pushing aside scrap paper, gave a light push.

Clatter——!

Fifty million chips turned into a flood, instantly submerging that blinding red area——

【Dice Surround: Three Sixes】!

Silence.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence so profound it was suffocating.

Immediately after, heavy panting filled the air.

"Again... another triple?!"

Someone's Adam's apple trudged up with difficulty, emitting a dry gulp.

The gamblers surrounding the table had their eyes nearly popping out.

Their gazes darted wildly between the pile of fifty million chips stacked like a mountain and the terrifying odds marked 【1 to 50】.

Reason screamed wildly in their minds, struggling.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Winning nine rounds in a row is already a miracle; how could the designated triple appear twice in a row?"

"This is practically giving it away! Even if ancestral graves smoked, it wouldn't be this exaggerated!"

They said that, but...

But deep down……

Yet the beast named 【Greed】 roared madly.

"What if?"

"This woman is damned uncanny! What if she's the God of Wealth descended to earth?"

"If we win this hand, forget breaking even—we could lounge on a mountain of gold for the rest of our lives!"

"To follow... or not to follow?"

The middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes had sweat beading on the chips in his hand.

The reason he hadn't followed so many times……

Because this was the coffin savings left after selling his house and car.

He couldn't afford to gamble!

But this time……

He wanted to give it a try!

If he lost, he'd queue up on the rooftop.

If he won, he'd get club beauties!

"Damn it... not following is a slow death; following is a leap to heaven!"

"Take a gamble, and a bicycle turns into a motorcycle!"

Someone in the crowd trembled and shouted.

Like a spark igniting a fuse.

"Damn! I've figured it out too!"

"If I just bet small or big by the book, even if I won until I died, I couldn't repay the usury I owe!"

"A mere worker? No! Today I'll defy fate and change my destiny!"

Smack——!

Chips slapped onto the table.

On countless faces, flushed from congestion, expressions turned mad.

"Seek wealth through risk! This round, I'm in!"

"I'm in too! Wherever the goddess points, I strike! Logic is bullshit; luck is king!"

"All in! My fate is mine, not heaven's!"

Once someone took the lead, that fragile psychological line instantly collapsed.

The herd effect was displayed in full force at this moment.

The vast majority stopped thinking, stopped hesitating.

Reason?

Probability?

All of it, to hell with it!

Clatter——!

Chips poured down like a violent storm.

Even if that square could hold no more, they forced the chips upward anyway.

Greed distorted their features, eyes red, like a pack of wolves waiting for dinner, they stared fixedly at the dice cup.

Today we've witnessed a miracle!

So why can't we become gods ourselves?

Mountains of gold and silver beckon to us!

Those who once looked down on me are now kneeling and begging for mercy!

The fund pool surged to astronomical figures in just a few seconds!

This isn't gambling…

This is playing with death!

"Open it! What are you standing still for!"

"Stop dawdling! Open it for me!!"

The dealer's body trembled, cold sweat slipping into his collar, chilling his back.

The pressure is too great!

He doesn't dare to open it!

If this really rolls a Three Sixes…

Will he still see tomorrow's sun?!

But at that moment, a grim voice from the supervisor came through the earpiece.

"Open!"

"If something goes wrong, I'll take responsibility!"

The dealer's eyes hardened, and his trembling body suddenly steadied.

With those words…

It's fine now!

"Hm?"

In the blink of an eye.

At the front of the gambling table, Magu, who had been lazily leaning, suddenly tensed.

A chill instantly crawled over her entire body.

It felt as if she were being stared at by a damp, greedy, disgusting stink bug!

Under the comical smiling mask, those shimmering beautiful eyes instantly faded into a dead silence.

Ruthlessness!

Murderous intent!

Decay Aura surged wildly within Magu's body.

Even the surrounding light warped for an instant due to the aura's outflow.

How dare you, you old witch?!

Seeking death!!

She was just about to raise her hand, to flip the table and tear the opposite dealer to pieces.

But suddenly.

A hand lightly rested on her fragrant shoulder.

It wasn't heavy.

Yet it forced the aura about to erupt back into her body.

"Wang?!"

Magu's body shivered, and she instinctively turned her head.

What entered her sight was the Fox Mask.

Su Ming didn't look at her; instead, through the mask's deep eye holes, he stared at the Dice Cup.

His palm applied slight pressure, his thumb gently rubbing Magu's delicate collarbone.

The gesture was intimate, yet not to be defied!

"Shh—"

"Don't rush."

Su Ming's voice was soft.

"Since you're here to play, you must follow the Rule."

"Even if the other party… isn't entirely clean-handed."

Magu was stunned.

Make her, a Calamity, obey the Rule?

But since Wang already said so…

Then let these ants bounce for another two seconds?

"Alright~"

Magu relaxed her body again, leaning into Su Ming's embrace.

Su Ming smiled, saying nothing more.

Just now, the Eye of Truth saw something.

Three Mechanical Insects, no larger than specks of dust, silently flew into the arena.

Two of them pierced straight through the Dice Cup wall.

The remaining one, obliviously, rushed toward Magu's nape.

Name: Alchemical Flying Midge

Quality: Epic

Function One·Micro Manipulation: Uses high-frequency oscillation to forcibly alter the displacement and state of tiny objects (like dice or marbles).

Function Two·Greed Siphon: Can use its pointed beak to steal a target's minute Qi Luck or Vitality, feeding the mother nest.

【Note】: Dirty, disgusting little things! When you see one, your pocket has already been emptied and your luck is over!

They just seemed to casually raise a hand, helping Magu tidy the stray hairs by her ear.

In fact, the fingertip twitched slightly, precisely pinching the blood‑sucking horsefly.

God does not know, ghost does not sense.

At the same moment, the two insects in the Dice Cup were also finished.

Clack—

The Three Sixes, originally as steady as Mount Tai, changed instantly.

"Open!!"

The dealer shouted, lifting the Dice Cup.

One point!

Two points!

Four points!

Seven points, small!

"All kill!"

The whole venue fell into dead silence.

Boom—!

Then, it exploded instantly!

"WTF?! How is it small?!"

"My money! My house!!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! How could it not be a leopard?!"

Howls and curses instantly overturned the roof.

Some collapsed on the ground, some wore faces of disbelief, breaking down and crying on the spot.

This is gambling.

Heaven and hell, a thought apart.

The dealer let out a long breath, a cold smile on the face, extended the push rod, and gathered the mountain‑high Chips on the table—

including Magu's fifty million, all pulled into the arms!

Clatter, the sound was harsh.

"Miss, it seems your luck has run out."

Magu stared at the empty table, suppressing the urge to crush the other's skull.

She turned to Su Ming, voice plaintive.

"Wang..."

"These scum... have swindled your money... and won it!"
