Chapter 250: Me and the Hero, Chaotic Battle

Rin’s face changed immediately, he quickly walked up and held Emilia’s face.

"What are you doing, silly! Those two coins can buy you several meals, you know!?"

"Well, give it a try."

"Silly cat, not everything is worth a try."

Rin was about to give Waste Hero a good lecture, trying to change her bad habit, but suddenly heard a surprised voice next to his ear.

"She won, she won! I can’t believe this lady actually won!"

"Oh no! I thought I could easily make two hundred from this!"

"Newbies really have luck on their side, not even knowing the betting rules and still managing to win."

Waste Hero turned around and saw that the pointer on the roulette wheel was pointing exactly where she had placed her bet, so she pulled Rin’s clothes in excitement.

"I won, meow~"

Rin looked at the roulette wheel in surprise, seeing that it was indeed true.

After counting carefully, there were a total of sixteen slots, with the chance of winning being one out of sixteen…

"What kind of luck is this?" Rin murmured to himself.

"Yes, the guidance of the goddess."

Rin was confused and wondered if it was possible that a god would personally help someone cheat.

According to the rules, the chips of the loser are shared among the winners.

However, not many people played this low probability game, and only Waste Hero managed to win.

The key point was that in this roulette game, the fixed bet was five chips… Only Waste Hero foolishly placed two hundred chips directly.

Emilia held a pile of chips in her hands, handed them to Rin with eager eyes, as if waiting for praise.

Rin glanced at the chips, calculated slightly, and realized there were at least thirty to forty chips.

His mood improved significantly, thinking that as long as he didn’t lose, it was fine.

"Learn the good, ignore the bad."

"Want to try more."

"No, you must not get involved with this kind of thing."

Without receiving Rin’s praise, Waste Hero felt a little disheartened, but quickly regained spirits.

Rin is stingy, she knew that.

In his opinion, it must be because he didn’t earn enough money, so he couldn’t soften his tough attitude towards Waste Hero.

"I, don’t like, just, want to make money, see you, happy."

"Hey, do you see me as a money-grubber in your eyes?"

Rin impatiently tapped her head, soon giving in to Waste Hero’s pleading eyes, grabbing her wrist, and taking out two one hundred-point chips.

"You can play, the rest are enough, and remember, this is the only time, I won’t come again."

"Okay, meow~"

Rin thought that since this hero cat had been following him all along, he could just let it be and since he didn’t have any money in his bag, it wouldn’t hurt to play once.

The most important thing was that he could tell Waste Hero was telling the truth.

Rin closely followed Waste Hero, afraid that this guy who didn’t seem to pay attention to the rules signs would start placing random bets everywhere.

Emilia curiously tried out a few different ways to play, and her stack of chips was rapidly increasing, accumulating four to five hundred points in a short time.

The main thing was that she would only try each game up to three times at most before losing interest.

Even so, it made Rin discover another unconventional use of hero’s talents… the guidance of the goddess was indeed formidable.

So, heroes can never starve, can they?

It’s just that if it really came to this point, his reputation would be tarnished if word got out.

The two of them played and strolled around, unknowingly getting closer and closer to the central area.

"Oh no! You guys must have cheated! Why should I be the only one losing!"

In the crowd, a familiar voice suddenly erupted.

Rin approached and immediately saw the desperate look on Xingzhi Witch’s face.

She angrily threw the cards in her hand onto the table, watched helplessly as her chips were taken away, reached out her arm to try to stop them, then sadly tapped the table.

"Miss, you shouldn’t speak like that."

A wealthy merchant dressed in luxurious clothes pushed aside a pile of chips in front of him and solemnly said, "In this casino, cheating is not tolerated."

He was not wrong in saying so.

In a world of strange abilities, to counter all kinds of magic and skills, casinos install a type of magic-sensitive device.

Whenever magic is used, this very sensitive sensor quickly detects it.

So, magic is also banned in the casino.

Of course, there are some special people who don’t rely on any spiritual magic tricks, but instead, like on Earth, they practice gambling skills.

But these people are usually not career-oriented or have low magic powers, and they rely on gambling to make a living. As long as they are not greedy, no one cares.

"One more round! I don’t believe it!"

Xingzhi Witch just muttered out of dissatisfaction, but if there were any tricks, it would be hard to escape her watchful eyes.

"Miss, do you still have any money?"

"Yes, why wouldn’t I!"

The witch, with red eyes from losing, gritted her teeth and exchanged a bunch of high-value chips with the bunny girl.

"This time, I will definitely win big!"

However, in no time, she slumped over the table like a defeated rooster, muttering to herself in disbelief.

They were playing a game called "Demon King Draw", similar to ghost draw on Earth, but with some differences.

This game can only be played by 2-4 people, and there are currently four players at the table.

There are a total of 24 pairs of common Rank cards, along with a separate Demon King card and a Hero Card, totaling 50 cards.

At the beginning, each person is dealt five cards, and players can reduce their hand size by drawing a matching card from the previous player.

At the end of each round of drawing, the dealer will deal one additional card to each of the four players.

The most distinct difference from ghost draw is the way to win the game.

The player who possesses the Hero Card and draws the opponent’s Evil Lord Card can declare victory.

If when winning, some players have run out of cards, it is called escaping, and the winner can only take the chips from those who have not escaped, while those who have escaped neither win nor lose.

In reverse, if you have the Evil Lord Card in your hand and draw someone else’s Hero Card, regardless of whether you can escape, you have to pay all.

Also, the betting rules of this game are somewhat similar to poker.

The minimum bet in the first round is 100, and starting from the second round, you can raise the bet. The minimum raise is also one hundred, but there is no limit. During this time, you can choose to fold and lose directly.

In other words, if you draw the Evil Lord Card, you can actually choose to fold directly, and the amount you lose will be relatively small.

Rin couldn’t help but cover his forehead.

Finally, he understood why the witch lost.

Either someone was cheating, or their luck wasn’t that great… yet they were confident as if they were flying next to the sun and sky.

For example, just like in the previous round.

In the second round, she drew the Demon King from someone else’s hand.

In this situation, cautious people can choose to admit defeat and it’s normal for others to continue gambling.

After all, there’s a chance of someone taking it away, right?

But this guy kept holding onto that Evil Lord Card. In the final round, with the cards of the other two players all drawn, it was confirmed that the Hero Card was with the next player, and he only had two cards left, leading to a choice between two options.

She actually dared to make crazy raises!

This mindset, is either extreme confidence or blinded by the thrill of gambling.

Rin looked at the dejected and devastated witch as if she had lost her whole family, and patted Waste Hero on the head.

"Understand, this is a lesson from the past."

Waste Hero’s vacant eyes scanned the cards scattered on the table, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"Demon King, will surely, lose to, hero."

"Can you understand this? I’m not talking about rules!"

"Down with the bad woman!"

Emilia spoke more firmly, and swung her fist hard.

Rin’s heart skipped a beat, looking uncertainly at Waste Hero.

For a moment, he didn’t know if Waste Hero was still upset about the last chess game with Demon Kinghero, or if he had already realized Suyu’s true identity.

After all, she had always called Suyu a bad fox, a bad woman…

"Miss, are you still playing?"

"I…"

"If you don’t have money, shall we end the game now?"

The witch’s face turned from green to white. Strangely, although she was usually hot-tempered, she didn’t get angry this time, but instead looked embarrassed.

When she noticed Rin and Emilia standing in the corner, her eyes lit up and she angrily said to the three of them, "You three rascals, don’t even think about running!"

After saying that, she stood up and pounced towards Rin.

"You… bad apprentice!"

"？？"

The deliberately prolonged and mournful voice made Rin’s scalp tingle. He immediately took several steps back, avoiding the witch’s approaching body.

The witch fell to the ground but stubbornly clung to Rin’s leg.

"Teacher, I have no money! You have to help me!"

"Let go of me!"

Rin struggled but couldn’t break free. He resisted the urge to kick her away and said in disbelief, "Didn’t you have fifty thousand gold coins before?"

"After getting the money, couldn’t resist buying! I bought all the good leather at the fur market! Spent twenty thousand!"

"Living in a tropical or subtropical place, why are you wearing a ghost-skin coat! Are you crazy! What about the other thirty thousand?!"

"Bought some top-quality birds, you have no idea how cute they are, tsk tsk tsk…"

"…"

"Of course, also bought some precious plant seeds, didn’t expect to find such good stuff in this lousy place, spent a total of eighteen thousand!"

"Where are the birds? What did you do with them, return them at once!"

"Such beautiful birds, of course I set them free!"

"Wha… what about the seeds…"

"The bird flew away with it in its beak, surely it will take root and sprout somewhere in the future…"

"Splash."

Rin’s face turned red, feeling like a million wild horses running free inside him, yet all he could utter was a sigh.

In all his life, he had never met someone so strange.

Miss Hero, with her unique mind, could outwit even the most cunning witch!

Despite his greedy appearance, he spent money faster than anyone else, often on strange things…

It seemed to him that this guy must have been ripped off big time.

Rin trusted that this place had good things, but nothing of such high value was possible.

The amount of coins in that cart could block a well, but giving them to her? Not even a thank you!

Rin looked at something that he really didn’t like, as if it was a squishy mess of creepy crawlies stuck together, and he gave it a little kick with his foot.

"Isn’t there still twelve thousand left?"

"That twelve thousand, all… all lost!"

The witch immediately looked sad and frustrated, saying, "I had set aside ten thousand gold as membership fee, but I accidentally lost it all! I don’t mind losing the other money, but I must get that ten thousand back!"

As she said this, she got up and shook Rin’s body vigorously.

"Good student, good apprentice, you must help me!"

"I, no money, don’t shake me!"

Rin was so dizzy from being shaken that he couldn’t figure out what she meant by membership fee. He struggled to take out the Magic Book to hit her head, but couldn’t aim properly due to the shaking.

In this "life and death crisis", Waste Hero felt sorry for his friend and swiftly grabbed the Magic Book from Rin’s hands, lifted it high, and struck the witch on the head.

Hmm, also added dizziness skill.

Even though the witch’s level was high, she was still stunned for a second by this sudden attack.

Rin took the opportunity to break free, darting away like a rabbit.

"Get lost! Serve you right, you gambling fool!"

The witch regained consciousness, too busy to care about being knocked out, and quickly said,

"Just lend me ten thousand! Just ten thousand, you’re so rich, it won’t be a problem!"

"No money! Beat it!"

"Sob, how could you be like this? Have you forgotten who took care of you with food and shelter when you were young? The one who raised you is like a father, have you forgotten all ethics and morality? You heartless little jerk, just want to see me homeless or end up in misery, huh?"

People around them gave strange looks, but mostly felt pity for Rin.

Rin felt mean inside but just as he was about to refuse, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch, you know?"

"Oh yes! As long as you help me get through this challenge, I will teach you any magic you want! I’ll treat you like my own son!"

"What a mess! I’m asking you, what about that trial?"

"Even though we can’t take the easy way, we can find another way! I’ll give you all the tips and tricks!"

Rin smiled a little and straightened his collar, "It’s your idea, although I can’t give you all the money at once, making ten thousand shouldn’t be a problem."

He had already spent ninety percent of the coins in his pocket when he bought the Blue Twins.

The remaining gems, magic cards, magic source crystals, and other assorted items could add up to ten thousand, but Rin couldn’t bring himself to sell off everything he had.

"Could it be, could it be that my little apprentice is a gambling genius?!"

The witch stared at Rin with hopeful eyes, all traces of her former queenly demeanor gone.

"No way, I’m not touching that thing."

Rin glanced at her with disdain, called over the playboy bunny, exchanged for thousands of tokens, and solemnly placed them in Waste Hero’s hand.

"Let’s see how you perform this time, go ahead, have fun."

"Hey, wait, no way, you’re sending your… your girlfriend?"

The witch looked as if she had seen a ghost, watching Emilia obediently nod and sit in her original seat.

At that moment, her head felt dizzy.

Has there ever been a gambling hero in history?

It seems… not, right? At least it hasn’t been widely spread.

Not to mention, her gambling skills are top-notch!

This girl, clearly it’s her first time playing!

Could it be that they have some special trick up their sleeve?

Except for Rin, no one knows that Waste Hero possesses a unique talent that none of the past heroes had… Even though she often uses receiving guidance from the goddess as an excuse to do all sorts of nonsense.

However, it cannot be denied that this talent truly exists.

The previous rounds of games have also proven this.
