Pre-death assessment

Hearing Ling Wu's words and seeing his expression, Zhou Ya's gaze sharpened slightly.

She vowed that from now on, she would never underestimate this guy in any way.

This guy came in and immediately said he was new, he was just putting on an act.

"This time, let's try a different kind of betting!"

Zhou Ya continued, "Dice, guess the numbers, whoever is closest wins. Neither of us will touch the dice, let the dealer handle it."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a beautiful female dealer immediately came forward.

After the two rounds just now, she had gained a certain understanding of Ling Wu.

Ling Wu must not touch these things, or they will turn to dust for no reason.

Therefore, neither he nor Ling Wu touched it.

The casino is absolutely fair, and the dealers are absolutely fair.

The rest depends on your own abilities!

"This time you can go first."

Zhou Ya continued, "But I will lower the odds."

"I have three thousand gold coins here. I'll bet these three thousand on the one thousand one hundred and eleven you have."

As she spoke, she placed the large box on the table as well.

Inside were the three thousand gold coins she had just retrieved.

"Let's keep some."

Ling Wu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the gambler's manual your father left you?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhou Ya, however, was determined to win.

Whoever can guess the number correctly will win, and with her X-ray vision, she shouldn't lose now.

"Alright."

Ling Wu smiled and then pushed all the gold coins up.

Both sides went all in with the gold coins they had.

Let's begin!

Zhou Ya then waved.

The dealer started shaking the dice, then stopped after a while.

Then, we started guessing the numbers.

Zhou Ya immediately activated her X-ray vision and could see that the points inside were three, four, and six, which added up to thirteen points.

"I guess three points," Ling Wu said directly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ya immediately laughed.

Why are you making wild guesses?

Three points? Three ones? You're dreaming!

"Thirteen points!" Zhou Ya gave the answer directly.

"Are you sure?" Ling Wu smiled.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ya immediately frowned.

What does that mean?

Is he... going to use some other method again?

Zhou Ya stared intently at the three dice through her X-ray vision.

Yes, it's three, four, six, it's thirteen points.

But... something just doesn't feel right about Ling Wu.

He went first, but guessed the three ones that were the hardest to come up with.

Is there some reason?

For a moment, Zhou Ya hesitated.

If they lose again, it will be a three-game losing streak.

This kind of thing has never happened to her before.

"If you're sure, then let's open it!" Ling Wu continued.

"Wait..." Zhou Ya quickly called out to stop.

"I also guessed three ones!" she quickly corrected herself.

There's no rule against guessing the same thing; if they are the same, at the very least, a draw is guaranteed.

Hearing this, Ling Wu smiled and said, "Go ahead!"

So the dealer slowly picked up the dice cup.

There are three dice inside, representing three, four, and six.

It's 13 o'clock!

"this……"

Zhou Ya's expression immediately changed.

How could this happen?

This guy...didn't do anything?

How could he have done nothing?

"Look at you, you had already won, but you still want to change it."

Ling Wu smiled and shook his head: "Why don't you believe in yourself?"

"I……"

Zhou Ya couldn't say anything. Why didn't she believe in herself?

That's because she was scared after being tricked by Ling Wu twice before.

She was afraid that Ling Wu would resort to some tricks again.

Therefore, she ultimately chose the safest option: a draw.

In the end... he was actually tricked by Ling Wu.

He did nothing but ask himself if he was sure.

They turned a winning position into a draw!

This time, he's playing psychological warfare.

"Again!"

She immediately gritted her teeth and resolved that next time, she would never fall for any tricks again.

We'll definitely beat him!

"Never mind, I already have enough money."

Ling Wu picked up the box and said, "I'll come again when I have time."

If I keep gambling, I really won't have a chance of winning.

Because she's basically no longer susceptible to being fooled.

"Come now, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Ya was unwilling to accept this: "Even if you lose everything, in the end you've only lost one gold coin."

"But I just don't want to lose even a single gold coin..." Ling Wu smiled at her.

After saying that, he picked up the box, took Lei Yun with him, and turned to leave.

"asshole……"

Zhou Ya stood up, gritting her teeth.

He pretended to stop after winning the first game, which was a deliberate attempt to lure himself in.

Then he won the second game.

In this third round, he was actually just gambling with himself, wanting to see if he could win and continue to win, and if he couldn't win, then so be it.

So... he tricked himself into fighting him to a draw.

Now he understands that continuing to gamble will inevitably lead to defeat.

Therefore, it's time to stop!

Zhou Ya clenched her fists. Damn it, why didn't she have faith in herself in the last game?

I could have won easily.

But the result was...

Gamblers are like that; they always regret what they shouldn't have done after the game is over.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

"Ling Wu, is it? Very well, I'll remember you. Next time... I'll make sure you're bankrupt!"

Zhou Ya watched Ling Wu's departing figure and said fiercely.

Now, it is clearly impossible for Ling Wu to continue.

So, I can only gamble with him again next time!

What he didn't know was that Ling Wu would never come again...

All gamblers end up losing everything because they fail to stop in time.

Once you lose your temper, you're bound to lose in the end.

Ling Wu, however, never gets carried away.

After all, he was just here to casually make some money to buy armor.

He's not interested in money at all...

……

After leaving the casino, Lei Yun finally spoke: "Sure enough, brains are often more important than cheat codes."

Ling Wu doesn't have any special abilities that would benefit gambling, but Zhou Ya has X-ray vision.

By any measure, Zhou Ya has a greater chance of winning.

As a result, she fell into Ling Wu's hands.

Ling Wu was more adept at manipulating people's hearts, which led to his great victory.

The brain is indeed the most important thing in the world.

"She's just a bit naive."

Ling Wu smiled.

Lei Yun shook her head helplessly. "In your eyes, I'm afraid everyone's thoughts are just naive..."

Immediately afterwards, the two arrived at the armor specialty store in Suzaku City.

The armor was, of course, made of that white metal.

It's just that it's equipped with an intelligent system, so it can go anywhere, whether it's in the sky or on the ground.

Once the armor is put on, the interior is completely sealed off. Even when you go outside and are constantly surrounded by white mist, your body will not come into direct contact with the mist.

Therefore, it will not be metallized.

Ling Wu and Lei Yun inquired and found that the price wasn't too expensive.

One hundred gold coins are enough.

At the armor production base, there are elemental users with metal-based abilities who can mass-produce this type of armor.

Therefore, most people can actually buy it if they need it.

Ling Wu and Lei Yun each bought a set of battle armor.

It cost two hundred gold coins.

Ling Wu deposited the remaining money as electronic currency and transferred 100 gold coins to each of Jiang Luo and the others.

Once they've purchased the armor, it'll be about time for them to make their move.

Ling Wu and Lei Yun, dressed in battle armor, walked out of the store.

And just then, just as they stepped out of the base.

Suddenly, I saw the situation in Xuanwu City being broadcast on the screen of the building in front of me.

A powerful herd of beasts launched an attack on Xuanwu City.

And no matter how the people from Xuanwu City tried to drive them away, they refused to leave.

Ling Wu and the other two also saw the scene of Liu Ruyan and Karina retreating back to Xuanwu City.

"Boring chat? Is that a mark Jiang Liao left on you?"

Lei Yun saw the four large characters carved on the back of the enormous beast king.

Is there anything special about this beast king? Why did Jiang Liao leave a mark on its back?

"It's not really a mark, just a way to deliberately make things difficult for me," Ling Wu smiled.

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the Beast King, who had already transformed into his battle form.

Does the Beastmaster's material and structure change as it evolves?

And judging from this, it should eventually be able to evolve into something like purple-gold red metal?

In this way, he would probably be able to find out where the seed of the third level of the Grim Reaper clone was hidden.

"Should we go over and take a look? Liu Ruyan is there too!"

Lei Yun then asked.

Liu Ruyan had some misunderstandings about Ling Wu. If she went there now, she might be able to help them.

Then I'll explain it to Liu Ruyan as well.

"No need, I'll go tomorrow."

Ling Wu shook his head: "I need to meet the city lord of Vermilion Bird City first."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yun could only nod.

Let's set off tomorrow!

……

On the other side, in Qinglong City.

At this moment, Li Ming, Zhao Yu, and Guan Hao, having somehow acquired a barbecue stall on the street, set up a barbecue stall and started a small business.

"Um... Brother Li, won't this make us look silly?"

Zhao Yuqian chuckled.

Ling Wu told them to find a way to make some money.

They couldn't think of any other way, so they started selling barbecue.

But how much money can you make selling barbecue?

"I just asked someone, and the captain said the armor costs 100 gold coins."

Guan Hao continued, "But the three of us selling barbecue here don't even earn a single gold coin a day!"

One gold coin is equivalent to the purchasing power of 10,000 yuan in the modern world.

That means if they want to buy the armor, they need to earn one million, so for three people that's three million.

When will it take to earn enough money?

Is selling barbecue really a viable business model?

Li Ming scratched his head: "What else can we do? Let's give it a try first, and then wait and see if there are any good opportunities to make money."

The three of them can fight.

But when it comes to making money in business, they really have no clue what to do.

Therefore, the only option is the simplest and easiest to implement: setting up a street stall.

Ding!

Just then, all three of their bracelets emitted a sound.

Then I clicked to take a look, and I was immediately shocked.

Because suddenly, each of them had an extra 100 gold coins in their account.

"This...this...this is the money the captain transferred?"

All three were somewhat incredulous: "Holy crap, where did the captain get so much money all of a sudden?"

The three of them work so hard selling barbecue here, but they can't even earn a single gold coin.

As a result, Ling Wu turned around and transferred 100 gold coins to him?

Where did he get the money?

Everyone who just arrived should be in the same boat, except they all received a settlement fee of a dozen or so gold coins.

How did Ling Wu manage to amass so much money all at once?

Even if it's a big deal, it shouldn't take this long to acquire so much.

"Who knows? He always has so many ideas!"

Li Ming smiled and shook his head.

He's Ling Wu, after all. What aspect of him isn't amazing?

"Since you already have money, why bother setting up a barbecue stall!"

Li Ming then waved his hand and said, "Come on, come on, it's free! Don't miss out if you're passing by. Help yourself to the food and grill it yourself, it's free!"

Since they had enough money, they naturally didn't need to waste their time.

But we couldn't let all this barbecue go to waste, so we gave it away for free...

Meanwhile, in White Tiger City, Jiang Luo and his two companions were also at a loss as to how to make money.

Fortunately, Ling Wu had already transferred the money at the crucial moment.

So they went straight to buy battle armor and waited for Ling Wu's instructions...
