Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

Ah Hu's words completely enraged Professor Liu and his group.

Dai Ran's other classmate was named Zhang Hao. He was very tall, standing at 1.88 meters.

He walked up to Ah Hu, glaring angrily down at him.

"Don't go too far!"

"Don't think you can bully us college students!"

"Let me tell you, we don't want trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either."

Seeing this, Professor Liu, Dai Ran, and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation—in terms of physique alone, Zhang Hao was the clear winner.

however…

The next moment, Ah Hu burst out laughing.

What are you laughing at?

Just as Zhang Hao was confused, he pulled out a homemade gun about the length of his forearm from his back waist and pressed it against Zhang Hao's chin.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Only a few people who were close to Ah Hu showed a faint, mocking smile on their faces.

"Another bunch of idiots have arrived."

"They really think they can cause any trouble in our village just because they're big."

...

Ah Hu chuckled: "Come on, tell your brother, why are you so intimidating? Why aren't you afraid of trouble?"

Zhang Hao's originally resolute face immediately deflated, and he managed to utter a ridiculous remark:

"Brother, you could have just robbed us outright, why did you have to force us to gamble?"

Ah Hu proudly declared, "I follow the rules!"

Professor Liu now understood why Ah Hu wasn't afraid of the police.

In this desolate wilderness, the police force of the local police station is simply insufficient; it would be good if there were one or two veteran police officers guarding the area.

Let alone dealing with Ah Hu who was hiding a homemade gun, it would be difficult to even deal with a half-grown boy.

"Go, bet with him."

Just as Professor Liu was preparing to sacrifice Zhao Xiaoyu to save Dai Ran, Chu Sheng, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up.

"Me?" Dai Ran pointed to the tip of her nose, surprised. "Can...can I do this?"

"We've been forced into this situation, we have no choice but to comply." Chu Sheng shrugged and curled his lip.

"Well... okay then."

Dai Ran took a deep breath, deciding to go all out, and pulled out a chair to sit opposite Ah Hu:

"Come on, I'll bet with you!"

A glint of triumph flashed in Ah Hu's eyes:

"That's more like it. Come on, let's continue, still playing Texas Hold'em, base bet of 100, no upper limit."

"However..." Dai Ran looked at Chu Sheng again, "I need him to deal the cards for me!"

Ah Hu followed Dai Ran's gaze and glanced at Chu Sheng, his heart skipping a beat.

For some reason, he felt an extremely strong sense of oppression from Chu Sheng, as if a new recruit had encountered a great general.

He swallowed hard, declined Dai Ran's request, and turned to look at Professor Liu:

"If you're worried, let this old man handle it."

Li Ming seemed to have recovered by this point, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Who do you think you are, making Professor Liu deal you cards!"

"Exactly!" Zhao Xiaoyu chimed in. "Professor Liu is so old, what if he gets exhausted?"

"Alright!" Professor Liu glared at the two of them impatiently. "Distributing cards doesn't take much effort."

As he spoke, he grabbed the cards, clasped his hands together, and shuffled them in a fancy way.

"Wow, this old man has some tricks up his sleeve," Ah Hu chuckled and teased.

To be honest, he wasn't afraid at all that Professor Liu was deliberately giving Dai Ran a good hand—he was confident that no one in the room could beat him.

Dai Ran had a good hand in the first round, with a pair of Kings.

She carefully followed for two rounds, and when the cards were finally revealed, Ah Hu showed a straight.

In the second round, Dai Ran got a flush, but A Hu got a straight flush.

In the third round, Dai Ran gritted her teeth and placed a large bet, while A Hu immediately revealed three aces.

"This..." Cold sweat broke out on Dai Ran's forehead. She wasn't stupid; something was clearly wrong.

Unfortunately, with mortal eyes, one cannot see the secrets.

Chu Sheng stood behind her, yet he could see her clearly.

Every time Dai Ran placed a bet, that green-haired devil would come over and cause trouble—either changing her hand to a smaller one or changing Ah Hu's hand to a larger one.

"What a clever trick of switching cards," Chu Sheng thought to himself with a cold laugh.

How dare they use such despicable tactics in front of the Maoshan disciples?

Before the fourth round began, Chu Sheng quietly walked behind Dai Ran and stuffed a yellow talisman folded into a triangle into her hand.

This is a "luck-boosting charm" that I just bought from the company's app for 1 merit point.

Although this talisman cannot defy fate, it can easily boost one's luck and ward off evil interference.

"Ran-jie, go all in this round," Chu Sheng said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Dai Ran's heart skipped a beat. She gripped the talisman tightly and nodded emphatically.

The cards were dealt.

After hearing Chu Sheng's words, Dai Ran blindly bet ten times the stake.

Ah Hu looked at his cards—K of Diamonds, Queen of Clubs, and 10 of Hearts. Although they were loose cards, the suits were nice, and there was a possibility of making a straight.

He smiled and habitually tapped on the card table:

"Hehe, don't say I, Ah Hu, don't know how to cherish women."

"I'll finish you off this time. Let's go to our bridal chamber while it's still dark."

After saying that, the green-haired ghost attacked again, flying towards Dai Ran's card.

Just as it was about to touch the card, Chu Sheng suddenly snorted coldly, opened his hand, and used the Maoshan Spirit Binding Technique to grab it into his palm.

"You bastard! Where did this brat come from, daring to grab your Grandpa Cao!" The green-headed ghost was still unconvinced and shouted, trying to resist.

"Hehe, judging from your strong aura of yin, you must have harmed quite a few people."

"I will convert you today, which will also be considered a good deed for the Three Bears Mountain."

Having said that, he recited a fire incantation in front of everyone:

"The Supreme Three Pure Ones, the Laws and Decrees of Emperor Yan."

"The fire is the heart, and the true yang is the guide."

"Burning away evil and dispelling darkness, its blazing light illuminates all."

"I humbly beseech the Southern Fire of Bing and Ding to manifest its true form!"

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

"Edict!"

wow——

Before the embers of the incantation had dissipated, a dark flame erupted in Chu Sheng's palm, its crimson tinged with a ghostly green.

Where the firelight flickered, the air suddenly distorted—the green-headed ghost, which had previously vanished without a trace, was now scorched into form, emitting a series of inhuman shrieks from his hand, so shrill they seemed to tear the night apart.

"What...what is this?!"

Inside the casino, everyone was stunned by the crimson flames that suddenly ignited in Chu Sheng's palm.

What made everyone's scalp tingle even more was that there was clearly a twisting and struggling green figure in the flames.

"A ghost! It's a ghost!" Several locals in the casino also turned pale, and some were so frightened that they kept moving towards the door.

"You...who exactly are you?" Ah Hu's arrogance froze completely, and he could barely hold the homemade gun in his hand, replaced by undisguised terror.

He clearly saw that the ghost Chu Sheng had caught was none other than the "God of Wealth" that he had worshipped for many years and that had helped him win countless bets!

Chu Sheng looked calmly at Ah Hu:

"I am Chu Sheng, a disciple of Maoshan."

"Mao... Maoshan?" Ah Hu's pupils shrank suddenly—he had naturally heard of the name Maoshan.

"Alright, the eyesore is gone."

The flames in Chu Sheng's hand went out as the green-haired ghost dissipated.

He patted non-existent dust off his hands as if he had done something insignificant, and laughed:

"Now...you can continue playing."
