Chapter 251: The Disobedient Disciple Forces Me to Sell My Body

After the hero comes, isn’t it chaotic killing?

Not only that, she also has a special "Passive Talent" exclusive to the hero, every time cards are dealt, there will definitely be a Hero Card in the initial deck, which no one can take away.

For three consecutive rounds in this situation, the faces of the other three people became increasingly ugly.

In the fourth round, during the first draw, Emilia casually drew from the player on her left, stared at the Evil Lord Card she drew for two seconds, and then laid the card out.

"She won again?!"

"Is this possible? Guys, is this possible! Why does she always get the Hero Card every time! She must be cheating!"

A short, fat rich merchant with a mouse mask and top hat directly slammed the cards on the table, angrily pointing at Emilia.

Waste Hero, expressionless, just asked calmly, "Continue?"

"Hey! Dealer! Did you see that too? Is it possible in this situation? She must have cheated!"

The dealer was a young woman with a pretty face, wearing her hair in a ponytail, looking very serious.

She glanced at them and calmly said, "There are sensors under the table, no magical fluctuations were detected, and I didn’t observe any signs of cheating."

Rin, standing behind Waste Hero, was not surprised at the dealer’s fair words.

He had noticed when the witch was playing earlier that she was losing so badly purely because of her own actions, not because the other three were ganging up on her.

He had heard that casinos might have a group of cheats, targeting a sucker, and working with the dealer to cheat.

He had carefully observed for a long time, but hadn’t found any such situation, which was why he allowed Waste Hero to join the game.

Of course, being a newcomer, Rin might not be able to detect if a setup was happening, but for now, it didn’t seem to be the case.

"No way!"

"Yes, yes, I’ve been hanging around the casino for a few years and haven’t seen anything like this."

"Oh, this game is not fun at all."

"Right, with this much skill, I might as well go back. I still have some unfinished business to take care of."

Rin could tell these three were trying to slip away. After estimating, he figured that they had only made a little over a thousand gold coins from the first two games. They were still far from their goal.

So he sarcastically said, "Is that all? Can’t handle it anymore? Just a few rounds and you can’t handle it? And you claim to have been hanging around the casino for years? Well, your courage is as fake as the mask you’re wearing."

The short and chubby merchant immediately got angry and said, "What did you just say, you little devil?!"

Rin made a tsk tsk sound and looked disdainfully at the three men, as if he was looking at a pile of rotten vegetable leaves in the market.

"No wonder you can’t handle it. You’re dressed in expensive clothes, but they are just standard products from the Alpha Merchants Association. Not even a custom-made signature cufflink. Just trying to fool some naive folks and act like big shots. Why show off such an obvious inferior space ring? Is the capacity smaller than your brain? It’s laughable."

This statement was extremely offensive and insulting, causing the three merchants to turn pale and then red, glaring angrily at Rin. Some even stood up from the table in a fit of rage.

Rin’s performance had just begun. He smirked and played with two exquisite gemstones in his hand. The atmosphere he created was so intense that even the ceiling of the casino seemed unable to contain it.

"It must be tough acting like a big shot when you’re broke, right? You made quite a bit of money from that foolish woman just now. It’s impressive how you can hold back from having a seizure. Are you rushing to leave now to show off that you’ve made more money than you ever could in a lifetime?"

"When a mouse steals a piece of cheese, it thinks it’s the best thing in the world. It takes it back to its nest to share with the group. Is that what this means?"

"Well, fine. Consider her money as a reward for you cowardly mice. I thought my darling cat was lucky today. Should we try our luck at a simple card game? After all, losing a few thousand won’t hurt."

The witch was stunned as she listened to Rin.

What… What a clever move! How did I not think of that?! I can also say such things! But I always forget at crucial moments! I must remember this!

The level of attack and insult just escalated several steps, didn’t it?

Wow, all paupers, except for you, the wealthy one.

Even as a bystander, you could feel the blatant mockery piercing your heart like ice picks, leaving you cold and miserable.

Unfortunately… this guy really seemed to be very rich, the kind of person who could build a house with gold coins.

Isn’t it ironic that he whispered about not having money before, or else wouldn’t he have given himself away?

Um… not necessarily, cash is one thing, assets are another.

This guy looks like a noble from Gualarrap, he should have quite a bit of money to spare, right?

That last sentence, it was simply the highlight of the whole story.

He might as well have had "I am a sucker, dare to come and cheat me" written on his face.

That confidence, I, Xingzhi Witch, humbly bow down to it.

How annoying, this so-called Hero Card will definitely end up in the hero’s hands and surely encounter the Demon King, it must be the world’s consciousness manifesting fate’s inevitability in strange ways, right?!

The three of them were initially ridiculed almost to the point of passing out, then they were drawn in by the "明牌" mentioned by him.

Originally, the three people suspected that the blue-haired girl was using some hidden cheating methods. But once the cards were revealed, there was no way to cheat. It was like giving a free meal!

Faced with great temptation and provocative tactics, the three of them decided to continue the game.

Rin felt relieved and touched his chin, feeling a little smug.

He hadn’t used all his strength yet. If he went all out, he could easily make them so embarrassed that they would want to hide under the table. But… too much of a good thing. If they got too upset and ran away, the mission would fail.

"Before the game starts, I hope this guest can refrain from provoking others with words. It could cause trouble."

The dealer’s serious face showed a hint of pain, as if being hit by a spear while lying down. But he still tried to remind Rin in a neutral tone.

Rin shrugged indifferently, "I wasn’t provoking anyone, just stating the facts."

The dealer’s face twitched for a moment, but he decided to let it go.

Well, as long as they didn’t resort to violence and didn’t start a fight, everything would be fine.

"Are the guests on this side choosing to show their cards and make a decision?"

Waste Hero nodded, her empty gaze wandering over the table, as if pondering something or simply daydreaming.

Onlookers thought this was unpredictable, while close friends like Rin mistook it for pure foolishness.

The croupier began dealing cards to the four players in turn, but when it came to Waste Hero, her cards were already revealed.

The first four cards were ordinary, but on the fifth card, the Hero Card, depicting a warrior in armor with a bow on his back, a sword and shield in hand, and riding a horse, appeared once again in Waste Hero’s hand.

"？？？"

All three players felt a sudden tension and couldn’t help but complain.

Fortunately, they were showing their cards, which gave them some confidence to continue the game with a glimmer of hope.

Until Waste Hero casually drew the Evil Lord Card from the deck, signaling the end of this round of the game.

Three people stared at the Hero Card and Evil Lord Card placed together, feeling confused and puzzled, unable to understand.

Rin asked with a grin, "Are you planning to sneak away again?"

"No."

"How is that possible!"

"Let’s continue then. I think everyone can see each other’s cards clearly now. Betting a hundred points each round seems meaningless, making it look like we all can only afford to bet one coin. How about this, let’s start with ten thousand points this round, equivalent to a hundred coins. Do you all have enough to play?"

The three players calculated in their minds. They had earned plenty of coins from the woman and decided to play one more round, beginning with one hundred coins. Those who felt the game was not going well folded immediately.

This meant only a few hundred coins, and after that, regardless of wanting to or not, they could not continue.

"Alright! A hundred coins it is! Who’s speaking as if they can’t afford to play!"

However, in the second round, the Hero Card and Evil Lord Card both landed in Waste Hero’s hand at the start, resulting in an instant highest possible win.

The people watching were surprised and then started whispering.

The three wealthy merchants were also surprised for a while before putting down their cards.

"Alright, I’ll just lose a hundred gold coins, consider it a lesson."

"Hmm, it’s okay, my luck is really bad today, let’s stop here."

As they spoke, the three of them were already getting ready to leave.

This time, it wasn’t Rin who stopped them, but the dealer.

With a serious face, she said, "Sorry, three guests, you don’t have enough chips."

"Oh, what does that mean?"

"Well, maybe you don’t play often, so let me explain. In the first round of hands, if the Demon King and Hero Card appear together, it’s called Fate. Besides winning everything, the odds automatically become ten times the previous amount, which is one in a hundred thousand."

If put on Earth, which is the size of a small potato, it’s quite common to see.

But the strange thing is, in this world, Demon Kings and heroes are naturally enemies, even in card games the chance of appearing together is less than one percent.

People from another world don’t find this kind of unlikely probability strange at all.

One of the merchants stood up angrily and said, "What a joke! Why have I never heard of this rule before?"

The onlookers laughed and said, "That’s because you don’t play much. Fate Cards may be rare, but you can see them a few hundred times if you play enough."

Hearing this, the merchant quickly changed his tone and pointed to the dealer.

"Are you all in this together to cheat us?"

"Ten times? Such an exaggeration! It’s completely unreasonable! There’s definitely something wrong!"

The dealer’s face immediately darkened, "Our casino operates with honesty and would never do anything deceitful."

"Yuck! Can there be a clean casino?!"

At that moment, a man who had been watching the show outside pushed through the crowd and walked in.

As soon as he entered, the eager casino goons quieted down.

With a strong-looking face that appeared to be in his thirties, sporting a mustache and a deep scar on his forehead.

As he made his entrance, he exuded confidence, "Are you three implying that this casino is unfair?"

Among the onlookers, some recognized him and began whispering to each other.

"Ah, it’s Aibin, the manager of this place!"

"Wasn’t he a level thirty-seven ax warrior?"

"Yeah, he used to be the top war general for the Blood Panther King, but then I heard he disagreed with Boss Xie, so he set up his own casino and never returned to headquarters."

"He might be Level 38 already, considered one of the best in Bicester City. We rarely see him around but didn’t expect him to show up in person."

Hearing that he was Level 38 made the three people a bit nervous.

But they weren’t too afraid, as he was someone of certain status.

One of them spoke in a hesitant tone, "You saw it too, this guy suddenly asked for an extra stake before, then he got a Fate Card. Isn’t that strange?"

"Are you suggesting that my dealer has an issue?"

Aibin’s scarred forehead twisted into a fierce expression, "In that case, for the reputation of the casino, next time you three will deal the cards. If it turns out to be our fault, I will follow the rules of the street, if not, I hope the three of you can apologize."

His tone was not menacing, quite reasonable even, but the message was clear – the three had to continue playing until the matter was resolved.

The three looked at each other in surprise, but also saw Aibin motioning for a chair to be brought over, then sat down with his arms crossed, as if he were made of steel, leaving them speechless for a moment.

Upon further thought, having them shuffle and deal the cards meant cheating wasn’t possible at all.

They really couldn’t believe someone could be so lucky!

So the three of them all agreed, with Waste Hero dealing the first round of cards at Aibin’s sharp lion-like gaze, no one dared to cheat.

Of course, they didn’t agree to the minimum bet of one hundred gold coins this time.

However, Waste Hero still ended up winning.

"It’s my turn! What lousy cards are you dealing!"

The second person looked upset, rolling up their sleeves and shuffling the cards in a fancy way.

They shuffled beautifully, but still lost decisively.

The same thing happened in the third round, all the way to the sixth round ending with a Fate Card, Waste Hero’s stack of chips kept growing and could now compete with the other three players.

The chubby person wearing a mouse mask was turning red with anger, slamming the cards onto the table.

"One more round! I don’t believe it! Is the goddess blind?"

"I think the goddess has lost her mind, what a ridiculous situation!"

Although the goddess is highly respected, in places like the casino, it is normal to hear some insults, most people just ignore them.

Waste Hero, who was frozen still like a statue, suddenly showed some reaction. She slightly tilted her head, as if she heard someone talking nearby.

The words spoken might not be pleasant, Miss Hero looked very confused.

The three of them grumbled for a while, their veins popping out, feeling extremely resentful with their eyes turning red. They changed their attitude completely, compared to wanting to escape earlier.

Think about it, dealing the cards by themselves, yet still end up with such a miserable defeat. Shouldn’t they try to salvage some dignity back?

Unexpectedly, with this sentence, the goddess seemed to have a revelation, Waste Hero surprisingly did not have a Hero Card in hand.

Rin and the witch exchanged a surprised glance, the latter hesitated a few times with a worried expression, but Rin’s calm gaze stopped her from speaking.

"Haha! I knew it! She can’t be lucky every time! The Hero Card is in my hand!"

Just as she joyfully exclaimed, Aibin scolded her, making her cover her mouth. Her excitement infected the other two people.

After three rounds of drawing cards, the Hero Card changed hands twice, but Waste Hero still didn’t get it. This made the other three players feel like victory was close, so they raised their bets.

After a few rounds, the Hero Card landed in front of Waste Hero, causing everyone in the room to quiet down.

At the moment, Emilia has two cards in front of her: one Hero Card and one Warrior Card.

She also has an Assassin Card and a Demon King Card in her hand.

The player next to her has a Warrior Card and a Shield Warrior Card, while the opponent has an Assassin Card and a Shield Warrior Card.

Of course, only the spectators can see this. The three players in the game can only see Waste Hero’s face-up cards. They can guess the remaining cards based on what’s already been played, but they don’t know the exact order.

It’s now Emilia’s turn to draw a card. She has a fifty percent chance of drawing the hero and losing the game.

Waste Hero’s neighbor started breathing quickly, immediately adding five hundred points without saying a word. The other three players also followed suit. After several rounds of adding points, they had at least ten thousand points before stopping.

When the curtains in front of the cards of the three players were removed, they held their breath and stared at Waste Hero.

Waste Hero nodded to herself and drew a card from the right side.

Her neighbor immediately looked disappointed, clearly not drawing the Evil Lord Card. The game continued.

Another round of drawing cards began, but luck was not on the side of the other three players. The Knight Card had already made a full circle without finding a match to escape.

It was Waste Hero’s turn to draw a card again. The three players had already forgotten how much they had bet and continued to follow, pinning all their hopes on this draw.

Rin looked at the three players, their eyes bloodshot, masks thrown aside, completely consumed by the game. His face twisted in agitation as he frowned, sensing something was wrong.

Compared to how they looked when he first met them, the current state of the three players resembled those in stories where losers keep losing more – first money, then wives, children, and eventually their sanity.

If it weren’t for the sensor showing no unusual activity and the witch tugging on his clothes on the side, Rin would have suspected the witch of using some sort of mind-control magic.

Think carefully, unless you’re acting crazy and trying to take Waste Hero’s Evil Lord Card on purpose, there’s no way you can lose. You might as well just quit without winning or losing.

Is this their confidence?

"I’m going all in!"

Suddenly, Waste Hero’s opponent shouted angrily and pushed all his chips forward.

"I’m all in too!"

The next player also reacted by pushing all their chips forward, creating a clattering sound.

Another player didn’t have enough chips, so they exchanged some and called.

If this round goes bad, not only will they lose all their previous winnings, but even the initial buy-in chips will be gone.

Unfortunately, Waste Hero didn’t draw the Hero Card this time, leaving all three disappointed and sweaty.

Waste Hero reached out to grab the swordsman card in her hand that had been exchanged several times. Just as she was about to grab it, a big drop of sweat fell from her forehead into her eye, causing a sharp pain that made her close her eyes.

Despite this, she didn’t stop moving her hand. She grabbed a card and added it to her hand.

The room fell silent, even the sound of a chip falling from someone’s hand could be clearly heard.

The player next to Waste Hero saw the Evil Lord Card in the deck, feeling a chill all over as the sweat on their back turned icy cold.

"Mad Scatter!"

The other two players cursed in shock and disappointment, but surprisingly, they became more alert.

They didn’t expect the Demon King card to return to Waste Hero’s hand, so their best bet was to escape quickly.

The relief was palpable when Waste Hero drew the Hero Card, especially as the Demon King card ended up in the hands of the player before her.

Everyone realized that the next round would determine life or death.

The situation changed quickly, from hopeful to scary.

The curtain fell, and everyone stared at Waste Hero’s approaching hand.

Her neighbor looked at her delicate hand, facing two cards with a tense expression and gritted teeth.

A small paw quickly grabbed the Evil Lord Card from the cards.

The neighbor pushed back in shock and let out a loud "no."

The three of them were all shocked and disbelieving after losing, feeling defeated.

Fortunately, they didn’t have much money to lose, or else they would have lost everything.

Losing the money they had just earned was very disappointing.

It felt like winning a big prize in the lottery and being excited all night, dreaming of buying a car, a house, divorcing, and finding a young wife.

The next day, full of excitement, he went to the center to exchange, only to realize he had read the wrong numbers, mistaking them for the ones from the previous draw.

"Wonderful!"

Aibin suddenly clapped his hands, stood up, and said in a serious tone, "If it weren’t for everyone witnessing it, I would have doubted that this little girl was intentionally playing tricks on them."

The people around also exclaimed in amazement. They had played many times before, but this was the first time they had seen such a big and thrilling bet.

Emilia blinked her eyes, moved closer to Rin, looking like a child waiting for praise.

Rin was very generous this time. He not only reached out and touched her head, but also couldn’t help but give her a quick peck on the cheek.

"Good job, well done!"

"Meow~"

Rin smiled happily as he asked the bunny girl to collect all the chips, and generously gave the croupier and several bunny girls dozens of gold coins as a tip, waving his hand afterwards.

"Thank you all for letting me have a great time playing… Oh wait, Grandpa didn’t personally join, so I should say I had a great time watching. I hope next time when we meet, you three bring along more starting money."

The three people didn’t bother with him, feeling annoyed at themselves for being foolish after sobering up.

…

After leaving the gambling den, Rin heaved a sigh of relief. His arrogant expression changed instantly, now looking pained.

"Why did I bet so much! Fifteen percent commission, all the extra earnings are gone! Should have given less in tips too. Ugh! I’m never coming back again!"

The witch quickly grabbed his arm, shamelessly extending her hand.

"Good apprentice, look, my money… Well, just give me ten thousand, and the remaining two thousand can be a gift for our meeting."

Rin glanced at her, rolled up his sleeve, and pulled out a document he had prepared while exchanging the cash earlier. He handed it to the witch, along with a pen.

"Magic contract, you understand?"

"What… loan… loan agreement! Not possible, didn’t you say you would help Mother win it back before?"

"But I also said there would be a price to pay, to sign or not sign, just one sentence!"

Xingzhi Witch controlled herself from burning the smug face in front of her into ashes, looking at the additional clauses, she stomped in place several times, almost breaking the heel of her high-heeled shoe.

"What in the world! Why aren’t you going to rob me of ten percent daily interest! And this clause at the back! What’s the difference between this and a contract for selling oneself! A disobedient disciple planning to deceive the master before even joining my sect?!"
